FRUSTRATED BY HEAT.
Hundreds of People Drop While
Watching Elks Parade.

Philadelphia. parade of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks on Thursday was marked during
it's progress by the prostration from
heat of an army of persons estimated
by the police and hospital authori-
ties at $500. The number would
have been greater had it not been for
the eventual downpour of heavy
rain. Never has there been such
wholesale prostrating of people in the
city. For six hours the police, ambu.
lances, surgeons and the Red Cross
nurses were kept on the run looking
after persons who collapsed under the
scorching rays of the sun and largely
because of their excellent service but
one case resulted fatally. James
Rowley, aged A years, of this city,
died in hospital after being strick-
en- in the street. The other stricken
persons are said to be in good condi-
ton, with no prospect of fatal results.

PLEASURE SEEKERS KILLED
IN A RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Horrible Catastrophe is Caused by
the Failure of the Crew Of.
Freight Train to Obey Orders.

Salem, Mich. -Thirty-one people are
dead and more than seventy injured,
many of them seriously, as the result
of head-on collision between this
village and Plymouth. when O Pere
Marquette excursion train bound from
Ionia to Detroit, crashed into west.
bound freight in a cut located at a
sharp curve of the Pere Marquette
railroad, about mile east of Salem.
The passenger train of eleven cars,
carrying the Pere Marquette shop
employees of Ionia and their families
to the Michigan metropolis for their
annual excursion, was running at
high speed, probably fifty miles an
hour, down steep grade 1t struck
the lighter locomotive of the freight
train with such terrible force as to
turn the freight engine completely
around.
Responsibility is put square upon
the crew of the freight train by Off
Gals of the road. One of those who
arrived at the scene of the wreck
soon after the accident secured from
the crew of the freight the orders un-
der which it was running, and which
clearly showed the position of the
passenger excursion train, and that
the freight had encroached upon the
other trains running time.

PoAcHINe JAPs ARRESTED.
Now We May Expect Another Howl
&7 From the Brown Men.

Washington.-The state department
has been informed that the revenue
cutter Manning, upon the 9Th inst,
seized two Japanese fishing schooners,
the Nitto Maru and the Naimo. near
the boat landing within about mile
of the seal island of st. Paul. Both
offthe vessels were fully equipped for
sealing and there were evidences that
they had been plying their craft in
the shape Of fresh sealskins in the
small boats. The seized vessels were
taken to Unalaska and left in charge
of the United Sites marshal. The
crews were taken aboard the Man.
ming and conveyed to Ungi in charge
of a. United States marshal, where
they will be tried before United
States commissioner upon the charge
of violating the sealing regulations.
The Japanese embassy has been no
tilted by the state department, but as
the case appears to be an ordinary
one OF poaching it is not expected that
any diplomatic incidents will result.

Muhica. Mich.--Henly Scutcheon, a
farmer about so years old living near

He crushed the boys head frightful-
". When his wife interfered he
turned on her and pursued the fright
e1led; screaming woman from the
house To the road, where he knocked
her down with his weapon. He then
rushed back to the house and MUIR
dered his father-in-law.
. Next he tried to destroy himself.
The 3maddened man gashed his throat
and wrists with a razor and took
some paris green. His wounds did
not weaken him and the poison did
not take immediate effect.
AJAX In hand he returned to the road
where he had felled his wife few
moments before. The first blow did
not kill her and she had been carried
into the house of Henry Mcclellan
near by. Mcclellan rushed to an
other neighbours for help.
When Scutcheon found that his
wife was in the Mcclellan home alive,
he smashed window with his AK,
jumped through it and again attacked
her. This time he crushed her skull.
He then left. the Mcclellan home and
returned to his own house, but when
Mcclellan returned from his search
for help, the crazed man came out
and started over toward him, saying,
Il want you, too

the road replied Mcclellan, who had
armed himself with a shotgun.
Despite the warning Scutcheon
came across. Mcclellan thereupon
shot him dead.

submitted to the jury On the other
hand, he said, the showing by the
state that Steve Adams was concerned
in the killing of two men in the Occur
d'Alene distridt did not appear to the
court to be germane and should be
eliminated. He announced, however.
that the court would hear argument
on these points.
The witnesses examined on Wednes-
day were from Colorado and gave vivid
accounts of the conditions existing
around the mines. o. M. Sackett, en-
ployed at the Smuggler Union mine
at Telluride--a mine owned chiefly by
Boston people and of which Buckley
Wells is the manager, had an lntl'
mate knowledge of conditions result
ing from the struggle between the
members of the Western Federation
of Miners and the owners of the
mines. No amount of severity on the
part of e. F. Richardson changed
Sackett's positive assertion that the
mob of citizens alliance of the Grip
pie Creek district took the law into
their own hands as last resort and
that this organization was made up OF
good citizens of the district. He JUS
titled the deportations on the ground
that they were necessary and because
the citizens had reached the conclu-
sion that men who refused to work
themselves or permit other people to
work should be sent away. He admit
ted that some of the deported were
innocent of wrong-doing, but stated
positively that they were allowed to
come back when the injustice was dis
covered. Sackett said of his own
knowledge and on information he
knew of number of murders and out
RACES committed by the union miners
and the calling out of the militia and
declaration of martial law was neces-
sary to the preservation of life and
property.

and Escape From penitentiary.
Boise, Through the arrest OF
B. H. Eggers, who was released from
the penitentiary Friday, July IL, plot
conceived by five convicts in that in
stitution has been unearthed. 1t was
planned four months ago and was to
have been carried out shortly there
after, but they were under the impress
sion that the warden had learned
about the plot and called. it off for
a time 1t was later decided to pull
the plot off on Sunday, July a. but the
arrest of Eggers and his failure to
furnish them with the gun and other
supplies necessary to do the job as
agreed, caused them to change their
plans, as they were watched and no
attempt was made by them to carry
out the programme as previously ar
ranged.
1t was the plan to catch Warden
Whitney in the barber chair at the
penitentiary and, at the point of a
gun, compel him to hand over all the
guns and all the money in the safe.
All the details of the plot are not
known to Warden Whitney, but the
convicts evidently had laid their plans
well and might have succeeded in
getting away.
