HOUSE RIDDLED; TWO KILLED.
Man and Woman Slain During Battle
With Texas Officers.

Waxahatchie, Notwithstanding
himself in a small house on the
Gibbons farm, two miles south of
Rocket, Willie Williams, a negro,
made a desperate effort to resist ar
rest on a charge of nnlawfully carry
ing arms. Sherin McAlpin and a dep
uty sheriff went t. the door and called
for him. The negro began shooting
at them with a revolver.
The officers returned the shots with
him until their ammunition was ex-
hausted. Help arrived and the house
was riddled with rife bullets. Then
the door was broken open. Williams
and a negro woman were found dead
On the floor.
The theory of the officers is that
Williams killed the woman and then
shot himself.

KAISER DEGRADES kiNSMAN.
Hohenau Loses Army Rank and All
Decorations Ever Bestowed.

Berlin-The kaiser has confirmed
the sentence pronounced by a mil
itary court of honor against his
distant kinsman and former favor
lite, Count Wilhelm o Hohenau, fol-
lowing the latter's trial on accusations
growing out of Editor Harden's at
tacks on the knights of the Round
Table" Under the courts order, the
Count is dismissed from the army, in
which he was a lieutenant general,
and loses all the decorations ever con-
ferred on him.
Hohenau was a close friend of Gen.
Count Won Moltke and was one of
those against whom charges of i'm
morality were made in Die Zukunft.
Though a civil court exonerated
Moltke and sentenced Harden to pay
a fine and serve a term in prison for
libel, Hohenau was brought to trial
before his fellow officers and found
guilty.

Destruction Of a Dozen Cars
Cause Of Disaster
Mystery.

Litchfledl, 1ll.-Two carloads OF
train on the Big Four railroad ex.
ploded early Tuesday morning.
Two men were perhaps fatally In
jured, at least a dozen cars were shat.
tered, then burned. and the nerves of
Litchfield residents, along with those
living within a radius Of many miles
of the disaster, are terribly upset.
Shortly after 1 a. m. fast freight No.
20 pulled out from Litchfield. 1t had
been inspected here at the instance of
Conductor Murray, especial are being
taken because of the presence of the
two cars of explosive. These had been
placed about the center of the train,
which comprised between 80 and 40
cars, mainly filled with general mer.
chandise. No hot boxes or other dan
gers of drawbacks were found.
Two miles east OF here is a sharp
curve. While the train was rounding
1t at rather high speed, the powder
turned loose. The two explosions
were distinct, yet so close together as
to be almost taken for one.
Two Men Found in Wreckage.
Some distance from where the pow.
der cars we're blown up, and in the
midst of wreckage of other ears shat.
tered by the explosion, Lloyd Claw and
Paul S. D%ougherty were found. too
badly injured to tell how they had

were aboard the train. Neither be.

We're blown into the air, following a
roar and racket of shattered timbers,
which he did not comprehend, and
knew nothing else until after his res.
cue. He gave his home as Paxton, H.,
and said he had recently been dis.
charged from the navy. Both men are
in the hospital here.
A yard engine was sent from this
place and brought the rear section of
the split train back hers, to save 1t
from destruction by fire. The track
had not been cleared at noon Tuesday
and traffic was blocked.
The cause of the explosion Is not
known. AS stated, the train had been
carefully inspected here and found in
good shape so far as It was possible
to determine.

CHINA AWAITS WAR
OPEN RUPTURE THOUGHT LIKE
LY IN EUROPE.
JAPAN WOULD FORCE QUARREL
Mikado's Attitude Such As to. Make
Controversy Hard Of Settle
ment Peacefully.

London-War is unquestlonably
imminent between China and Japan.
Members of the English govern-
ment have believed until very
lately that the continued squabbling
between the two nations meant moth
ing serious. High officials are at last
unoffcially admitting that there is
every appearance OF a disposition on
Japan's part to force a quarrel on the
Chinese. The incident of the Chinese
seizure of the Jap steamer Tatsu Maru
seems trivial, Considering 1t as the
elimination. however. of q series OF
still unsettled MISUNDERSTANDING over
territorial and other really important
matters, 1t ssum a serious aspect.
The Mikado's attitude has made
even the controversy n which 1t is
hard to adjust amicably. No one ia
miliar with the circumstances doubts
that the steamship was trying to make
a surreptitious landing of arms on the
Chinese coast for rebels against the
Government. Though consigned to a
Macao merchant, it is notorious that
the formality was a mere pretext. A
large part of the shipment was not
even manifested.

20 HURT IN WRECK
BURLINGTON TRAIN JUMPS THE
TRACK AT kEARNEY, MO.
SLOW TIME AvERTs CATASTROPHE
Local Out Of Kansas City Sent over
an E~mbankment by a
Broken Rail.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Burling-
ton passenger train which left
Kansas City at 1880 Saturday morn
ing for Chicago was derailed at kear-
ney. Mo. 25 miles north of here, and
went over a 15.foot embankment.
Twenty persons were injured.
The Seriously Injured.
The seriously injured are:
j. d. Guyton, Kansas City, horse
and mule buyer; head cut and other
wise injured.
h. Il. Wilcox, Kansas City, horse
buyer; hip broken, hurt internally.
- Chappell. young divinity student
at Liberty, Mo.
Travelling salesman, name unknown,
unconscious.
None of the other injured was Sc
riously hurt.
The wrecked train was made up of
baggage car. smoker and two coaches.
1t is an accommodation train that
stops at every station between Kansas
City nd Chicago. and was not due in
Chicago till Sunday morning. The
accident was caused by spreading
rails.
Slow Time Averts Catastrophe.
The train was not ruNning fast and
this fact probably prevented more Sc
rious results. All but the smoker
turned over and went half way down
the embankment.
Physicians were sent to the scene
from Brookfield and Kearney. The
injured were cared for promptly and
placed in the smoker until they could
be taken to Kearney. They were
picked up by a later train and most of
them continued on their journey.

OUR GUNNERs BEST IN WORLD.
Commander Thinks, However, That
the Men Need More Training.

Washington, ID. C.-Commander
Sims, who is aid to the president and
a son-in-law of +. A. Hitchcock, of st.
Louis, has made this explanation re-
garding his testimony before the SEN
ate naval committees:
THE impression | intended to con-
vey was that the navy was in a state
of in~efficiency, and not prepared for
war and that owing to this there was
no proper system Of training for the
gunners. This was not the fault of
the personnel, who are the best in the
world. but simply because the train
ing established by the department.
was incomplete and did not develop
the ability Of IL gunners or of the
material.
Our men are the superior of any
others in the world, and they have
shown. since the present system Of
gunnery training has peer established,
that they can equal or beat any other
navy in the world"

HUMAN BODIES IN DEBRIS.
Man and Girl Probably Murdered,
Then Placed in Path Of Fire.

~Bordentown, n. J.-When the
ruins of an untenanted house which
was burned Monday night were
investigated Tuesday, thu charred bod
les of a man and a girl were found
beneath a pile of half. burned timbers.
The theory is advanced that both of
them had been killed and placed in the
house, after which the rickety struc-
ture was set on fire to conceal the
crime.
By the side of the mans body was
found a keyring bearing the name
William Sleek. This name appears on
the payroll of the Roebling plant as an
engineer of a shift engine. Around the
neck of the dead girl was a necklace
marked Lydia Carter. Both Sleek and
Miss Carter are missing from their
homes in Roebling.

SEIZURE OF STEAMER Is

USE OF FORCE THREATENED
Mlkado's Hostile Step Regarded as a

Pekin-With the Japanese south
ern squadron on its way to Can
ton, and the danger of an armed clash
with the Mikado growing hourly more
imminent, China is walking between
national pride and the fear of a war
which might mean disintegration of
the Empire.
While Japan has been assuring the
Occident that she has no thought of
fighting over the seizure of the steam
err Tatsu Maru, she has made it clear
to Pekin, according to information
from high official circles, that force
will be used If the Chinese govern
ment persists in defying or disregard
ing the Toxic foreign office demands.
The word war has not appeared
in the correspondence, but China can
not figure that force means anything
else unless, indeed, she is to submit

Over Personal Financial Affairs.

Detroit, Mich.-Elwood T. Hance,
