STRIKE BREAKERS
 SHOT BY MOB
Italians at Iron Mountain Shops in Van Buren Driven Out And
 Three Wounded in
 Midnight Attack.

Van Buren, July l.-Charles Henderson, a white strike break CTS guard, shot through the loot with buck shot.
 Antonio Lazzaro. Italian strike breaker, shot through the shoul- der.
 Carlos Niccolina, Italian strike breaker, shot through the leg and arm.
 The above is the result of a prearranged attack made upon the bunk cars of the 50 Italian strikebreakers that were sent to Van Bureu a week ago by the Iron Mountain to take the places of the company's striking car re- pairers at 10:30 Monday night.
 So far as is known none of the attacking party were injured, as 1t was very evident the Italians were not armed, or if they were, they were too badly frig htened to shoot and used all of their en- ergies in getting out of the cars aud out of range.
 No arrests have been made and as Henderson, the white guard, left for St. Louis ou the midnight train to enter the company's hos pital for treatment, only vague idea as to the number of the at tacking party can be formed, the crowd being estimated at from 50 to 100.
 The entire eastern portion of the city was awakened at 10:30 by perfect volley of shots. From that time on there was some desultory firing, for, after the first volley, the Italians leaped from their bunk cars in which they were being housed and guarded and fled through tho yards, taking refuge behind and in the hundreds Of cars standing on the tracks in the .eas, ards, or hiding in the cotton fisisi and Johnson grass pasture that prac- tically adjoins the shops on the east.
 Henderson, the white guard, made his way west along the main line until he reached the division offices where he reported the att tack, and asked that he have his wounds dressed and ticket given him to St. Louis. He expressed the opinion that several of the Italians had been killed, but a search of the yards and cars re- suited in the finding of only two wounded men who were gwen medical attention.
 Less than dozen of the strike breakers appeared at the shops this morning when the 6 o'clock whistle blew, These meu had evidently spent the rest of the night after the attack in the tall Johnson grass and ventured oui only when they knew they were assured protection.
 It was felt here yesterday when the two white guards, George Hermon and Tom Mullary, were arrested on what IS believed te
 have been trumped-up charg, of rape aud held without bail , that an attask was to be mad,
 upon the Italians aud no surprise
 was felt when it was kuowr
 that they were being fired upon The negroes had been wrough np during the day by the alleged ,ssanlt upon Donnie Johnson, | uegress, and they were as bitte
 toward the imported laborers and
 their guards as the white striker
 and it is believed that larg'
 portion of last nights mob wa . made m of blacks.

New Jersey was the state which gave Grover Cleveland birth His father, the Rev Richard Cleveland, Connecticut Yankee. had married Ann Neal, the daughter of an Irish book seller and a German Quakeress. Four children had been born to them when the Rev MT. Cleveland was assigned to the Presbyterian pastorate in Cald- well, Esex county, N. J. There, March IS, 1887. was born the fifth of their nine children. In honor of the pastor who had preceded him, the Rev Mir, Cleveland called his new son Stephen Grover, name which it's possessor shortened in after years by dropping the Stephen.
 At the age of 14 Grover got his first job. He was employed by a grocery man, and his salary reached grand total of $50 year. At the age of IT he went to Buffalo, N. Y, and entered law office. and drifting into politics was nominated by the Democrats for district attorney of Erie county and was defeated. In 1870 he was nom- mated for sheriff of Erie county and was elected. Following this in 1882 he was elected mayor of Buffalo Six months after he became mayor he was elected governor of New York by phenomenal majority. Four years later he was the nominee of his party for president. Against him was James c. Blaine. The campaign was bitter one and resulted in the election of Mir. Cleveland. The vote in New York. the pivotal state. was very close. MT. Cleveland's plurality being but 1,149. In 1888 Mir. Cleveland was renomi- mated for president, Benjamin Harri. son being the Republican nominee. Mir. Harrison was successful.
 In 1892 the same gentlemen were again candidates for the presidency. This time Mir Cleveland received a majority of the electoral vote. Retir-
 Ing from the White House at the end of his second ttim he has lived peace fully and quietly at his home fin Princeton, N. J.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT PASSES AWAY AT PRINCETON,
 NEW JERSEY.
IN PRECARIOUS CONDITION FOR MONTHS
Was Twice President of the United States-Oisesse of Long standinq Was Aggravated by Intense Heat of the Last Few Days and Brought Sudden Relapse.

Princeton, N. J., June 25.-Ex-Presi. dent Grover Cleveland died suddenly at his home here at $40 o'clock Wednesday morning. While his death was unexpected he had been i'll for a number of weeks and his condition was weakened. Only Tuesday Dr.. Joseph T. Bryan of New York paid a visit to Mir. Clevelands home. but the information was subsequently, given out that the visit was not occasioned by an alarming condition of the for mer presidents life.
 Indeed, Mrs. Cleveland was particu larly cheesful over the condition of her husband. He was apparently in good spirits and his health was better than it had been for some time. Tues. day afternoon he took little outdoor exercise and retired at his usual hour at night.
 When the discovery of his death was made the residents of Princeton were shocked and the grief of Mrs. Cleve. land was almost uncomfortable.
 For number of years MT. Cleveland has suffered from periodic attacks of sickness, usually in the summer time. Last year he became i'll in the spring and did not recover his wonted health until September. Mrs. Cleveland was overjoyed that her husband had re- covered so quickly this year and she was on the verge of planning for their summers recreation.
 Heart failure, complicated with rcombosis and oedema, was the direct cause of Mir. Cleveland's death.
 It is believed that the terrific heat of the last few days contributed in a great degree to the sudden death of Mir Cleveland

City of Mexico, June 2S.-Wild stories concerning formidable and serious revolutionary outbreak in the northern part of Mexico were wholly discredited Friday by telegraphic re- ports received from Gov. Cardenas of the state of Coahuila.
 According to these telegraphic ad- vices which were received by Vice President Corral Friday, one of the boldest bandit raids ever attempted in the history of Mexico was successful ly carried out when the town of Viesca was assaulted and footed Thurs day The bandits, numbering 50, all well armed and mounted, swooped down upon the town without warning A feeble resistance was made by the police of the place but after three of hem were killed and three more wound ed the marauders practically had things their own way. Th2y first pro cecdcl to the jail, releasing all the in m: tes, some og waom soined the rob bers The bandits next headed for the Bank of Nueva Leon, branch of the main institution of that name which is located in the city of Monterey. They soon overpowered the employees there and robbed the bank of all the money trcv-eeti1aa- get t4.ats@-Ehe-sum is not stated in the official dispatches.
 From there the robbers with a whoop went to the government stamp office, footing it and doing great dam age to the postofflce. They then turned their attention to the express office, robbing it.

El Paso, Tex, June 2S.-A special dispatch received here says a band Of Mexican reyolutionists attacked the town of Los Vacas, Mexico, early Fri. day and some of the revolutionists are believed to have crossed into Texas. The Texas sheriff wired ask ing the governor if he could arrest any fugitives coming into the state. The governor referred the matter to the attorney general who held that the state officers could take no action as the matter of political fugitiyes coming into the United States from foreign countries was a question for federal authorities to deal with. It is reported that the revolutionists were repulsed
 Later information says that about 5000 shots were exchanged. The of ficers' quarters were burned and be- tween 40 and 50 killed on both sides. The troop commandant was badly wounded. Another outbreak is ex- pected as the revolutionists have well armed cavalry.

MAPLE WILL EVANGEL|zE
NOT TO LEAVE MOUNT RAINIER
JUST THIS MINUTE.
Consents to Deliver Lectures and
Firemen's Hall Has Been
Contributed.

There will he more Maple leaves" scat
Rev. Otto d. Maple. deposed minister ot
the Christian Church of that town, die
not leave last night. Instead he has ac.
copied an invitation from admirins
friends of the nearby Methodist Episcopal
Church and others in the neighborhood tc
leaf for a week in Firemen's Hall ir
Brentwood. just down the road Always
The firemen have rendered their hall free
of charge.
Mr. Maple. however has apparently re.
Tented. He is not going to leaf in the
same melancholy. autumnal fashion ir
which ne I'D it last Sunday, when he lee
tured in Firemens Hall on the subject OF
Hunting for Hypocrites' and said some
uncomplimentary things about the eXecu-
tive board of the Christian Church. The
title of the first lecture of the new series
which is to begin this evening at o'clock
is Fascinated by the Faith
He says himself ne has forgiven the
me nbers of the board which stimulated
his 1eaffng Sunday and is prepared 10 pro
duce fresh, green leaves of spring during
the entire week.
All the titles of the future lectures have
not been made public yet. In fact. Mr.
Maple has probably not decided which
ones i'm his stock are the most verdan'
and springlike.
Although the members of the Methodist
Church are now Mr.. Naples most ardent
admirers. tbs said there are a good many
of the $50 members of the Christian
Church who are sorry he was deposet
from the pulpit of that church. and are
more or less openly lending their support
to the evangelical leafing campaign in
Firemen's Hall.
True to his word. Mr. Maple was al
ready to start for the west to rejoin hi.
family in Jonesboro ILL.,, at IL O'Clock las
night. His urgent request that the goot
people Mount Rainier quickly decide
whether or not they wanted him to re
main a while longer had its effect.
He unpacked his grip at the last minut'
and began to look through his lectur,
