Loaded Gun Child Four Shot
Gaylokd, Kan., July 23. Last evening
Ben Hope, a farmer, living one mile north
f Gaylord, came in from the field from
work bringing his loaded shotgun with
him. He set the same down in the corner
of the room and went to do his chores.
Thereupon one of the small children pro
ceeded to investigate the gun with the fol
lowing results: The mother was sit
ting in the middle of the room with
her back to the children, with three
other children around her and beyond her;
the gun went off, shooting the mother in
the left arm and below the shoulder, break
ing the bone and tearing about one-third
the flesh away: one child about 3 1-2 years
old received about twenty-five shots in the
face'and neck and another child about 11
years old received about fifteen shots in the
face and neck, and the oldest daughter re
ceived five in her neck and arm. At this
time it is thought they will recover, but
amputation will have to be performed upon
Mrs. Hope.
A Minister Killed.

ternoon last a fearful accident occurred at
the bridge over Rock Croek, near Grieves'
mill in this city. A child had been buried
in Green Hill cemetery, and the funeral
party were returning when a team driven
hy a boy became frightened and ran away.
They dashed down the steep hill passing
one team, and ran into the conveyance of
Rev. J. C. Earns, causing his horses to run
away. Mr. Karns, his wife and daughter,
Nellie, were all thrown out. Mrs. Karns
and Nellie were severely injured while Mr.
Karns' injuries resulted in his death. He
was a minister of the U. B. church, well
known throughout the country and well
respected.
Baby Farm Keeper Arrested.
New York, July 23. Mary Oberly, a
middle aged French woman, was ar
raigned in court this morning charged with
keeping a baby farm. Her apartments
were in a basement reeking with filth. An
agent of the society for the prevention of
cruelty to children, a policeman and a
health physician waited tor several hours
yesterday before the woman turned up, and
they followed her into her apartments.
The air of the room was stifling. Every
window was closed and the crevices
tightly fitted to prevent the air from enter
ing. "in one corner lay the dead body of
an infart. Covered with dirt and nearl
dead, jiljcp on the floor was a boy seven
weeks id. Dr. McKann, of the health
board, "-aid the child died through neglect.
It is fstid that thirtj--two children died in
her dcu within a year.
The Big Boodle Case.
Chicago, July 23. The interest in the
big boodle case this morning was greater
than ever on account of the damaging tes
timony given by Ex-Commissioner Lynn
yesterday. Today he was subjected to a
severe cross examination, but in the main
his testimony was unshaken. The mem
bers of the firm of Clow & Co. next gave
their experience with the boodlers. They
testified that Ed. McDonald demanded
commissions from them on all orders, and
when they appealed to Klelim and the
chairman of the board of commissioners
and one of the defendants, he said they
had better take care of the "boys" or else
they would find themselves at the end of
their rope.
A Hard-man Indeed.
Kansas City, July 23. Three days ago
A. T. Hardman opened the Lone Star
Laundry on Main street in this city. He
advertised offering to give $20 a week to
learners. A flock of applicants came and
each one was required to deposit $25 for
patterns. Today he disappeared and six
teen complaints have been made at police
headquarters. Up to the present writing
it is supposed that he cleared $600 or more
by the fraud. Nearly all the victims were
women.
Duel to the Death.
New Okleans, July 23 A shooting
affray occurred here today at the depot of

The Princess Bay Calamity,
New York, July 23. The tragic dea.th
by lightning of Michael J. Dixon, ice
cream manufacturer, and John J. Ryan in
Princess bay yesterday created great ex
citement in New York and vicinity, where
Dixon's name was known to nearly every
man, woman and child. At last reports
Dixon's body had not been found. There
were three in the party : Dixon and Ryan
in one small boat and a third man named
Smith in another. They were fishing
about two miles from, the Staten Island
shore. Suddenly a squall arose followed
by rain and lightning.
Smith says: "Suddenly I felt as though
I had a heavy blow on top of my head and
that is the last I knew ior a long time. I
heard no thunder and saw no lightning.
When I came to I was lying on the bottom
of the boat. I wa3 dazed and confused
and it was a minute or more before I no
ticed anything wrong with the other boat.
Then I saw it was filled with watcr.Mr.
Dixon was no where to be seen amTMr.
Ryan was hanging head down out of the
boat into the water, he was nearly stripped
of his clothing and he hung only by a rem
nant of his trousers which had caught in
some way on the boat.
It rained so hard I could only see a little
distance around me. I managed at last to
get an oar in my right hand, and holding
Mr. Ryan's body by the waist with my left,
I started to paddle to the shore, towing the
corpse behind me; I must have worked
this way fully three quarters of an hour.
Finally I saw a boat putting off and I
knew I had been heard. 3Ir. Dixon's body
was no where to be seen."
Mr. Ryan was also in the ice cream
business in New York and had made a
considerable fortune. He was a large, fine
looking man, of about sixty; he leaves a
widow and five children. Mr. Dixon was
about 42 years old; he leaves a widow and
two daughters. He possessed exensive
means.
The body of Mr. Dixon was recovered
this morning, near the spot where it went
down. The appearance of the body showed
that Mr.Dixon was not struck by lightning,
but wa3 stunned by the shock and thrown
overboard and drowned before assistance
could reach him. Mr. Dixon wore a dia
raond stud valued at $3,000, which was
recovered.
Singular Coincidence.
Eagle Pass, Tex., July 23. The cele
brated Arresures case, which was the
cause of so much correspondence between
Washington and the City of Mexico some
months ago, is again attracting attention.
Arresures was Mexican by birth and Amer
ican br adoption, and resided in this city.
Under false charges he was arrested by the
Maverickcounty sheriff and illegally turned
over to Mexican authorities, who murdered
him within twenty four hours. Arresures
was given up without the shadow of an ex
tradition paper, and the affair caused a ter
rible stir. Francisco .Mondragon, who
was commander of the state troops into
whose hands Arresures was delivered,
and who directed the execution, was ar
rested and placed in jail. He has been
temporarily released on $1,500 bond, but is
not allowed to leave the town of Piedras
Negras, just across the river from here.
Investigation is going on, and Mondragon's
enemies claim that if he is not shot he will
serve a long term in the Mexica'n peniten
tiary. It is singular that of the two chief actors
in this border drama, Fij'uicisco Mondragon
and Sheriff Thos. Oglesby, one has lost his
military command and is in custody, and
the other has lost his office, and is now
under arrest in Los Angeles, Cal., charged
with a heavy defalcation, and is only await
ing a straightening out of the requisition
papers to be brought back to Texas to stand
trial.
Died of Hydrophobia.
Chicago, July 23. Arthur Mueller,
aged 2 years, died yes erday of hydropho
bia. Five weeks ago a small black dog bit
him. Mr. Mueller was also bitten and had
his wounds cauterized, but the child's
wounds were only treated with carbolic
salve. Last Thursday morning the child
was attacked with known symptoms of hy
drophobia which lasted throughout the
night, and yesterday morning there was
little hope of recovery. He lingered along,
having periodical convulsions until the
afternoon, when ho died in great agony.
Little Rhody'a Hum Racket.
Providence, R. I., July 23. Searches
and seizures under the prohibitory law
during the past few days have created only
a temporary panic among Rhode Island
liquor dealers. The prohibitory law as
amended gives the chief of the state police
virtually autocratic powers. He and his
deputies can search, s&ize, arrest and im
prison as they may please. Suspicion, the
reasonableness of which they are judge?, is
sufficient to justify under the law forcible
entry to a private house. Police might as
well try to bail out Narragansett bay with
a water pail as to endeavor to stop the free
sale of liquor in Providence. There are
more places selling than under license, and
this is because people want liquor and will
have it, however stringent the enactments
against it.
Provincial Succession.
Lawrence, Mass., July 23 Yery Rev.
C A. McEvery has been elected provincial
of the Augustinian Order in the United
States to succeed Rev. John P. Gilmore,
who has been deposed by Rome. The af
fair is the result of the failure of the
Augustinian bank In this city in 1883.
Father Gilmore was the pastor of St.
Mary's church when $o0,000 deposited in
the Priests' bank by the parishioners was
lost. McEvery was elected provincial In
'S2, and during four years' residence he de
voted himself to the task of liquidating the
enormous debt. He was a candidate for
re election, but Father Gilmore was elected
oy a majority of one vote. Gilmore voted
for himself. Charges of dishonesty made
by the minority wer sent to Rome ending
in Father Gilmore's deposition and the In
duction of Rev. McEvery Into the office.
Trains Imprisoned by Washouts.
New York, July 23. Two Tmdges on
Harlem railroad between Hillsdale and
Craryville were washed away by the flood
this morning and all traffic Is suspended on
the road beyond that point. The Chatham
express due In this city at 10:2.3 was caught
between the two washouts and is unable to
get either way. The washouts are several
hundred feet long and it will require two
or three days to repair them. It will be
impossible "for the imprisoned train to get
through before tomorrow. There are but
few passengers aboard the train, otherwise
there would be difficulty In finding food
for them as there are not many houses In
the neighborhood.
Track Destroyed.
Helena, Ark., July 23. Owing to the
formation of an extensive sand bar just
below Helena on the 3Iississfppi side, the
waters of the river has been gradually cut
ting away the bank on this side. Thfa
morning a section of the bank about sixty
feet wide and 600 eel lone fell into the
stream carrying with it the tracks of the
St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
railroad. The track will at once be rebuilt,
but it is probable that another route into
the dty will have to be selected.

THE QUEEN'S NAVIE;
Jubilee Review of the English Armada
at Portsmouth.
Portsmouth, July 23. Portsmouth
and Southsea have been thronged for days
past in anticipation of a jubilee naval re
view fixed for this afternoon at Spithead.
The crowds have been immensely aug
mented this morning by the arrivBl of in
numerable visitors from all parts of the
country. The weather could not bo more
favorable. Everybody is in holiday attire
and gay dresses and splendid uniforms
with crowded thoroughfares present a
brilliant appearance. Special trains
brought down from London the lords of
the admiralty, members of the house of
lords and numerous representatives of for
eign legations.
The scene at Portsmouth was one of ex
treme animation. Hundreds of private
craft of every .description, all handsomely
decorated and well freighted with gaily
dressed people being anchored here. It
looked like a gigantic marine picnic. The
Bonnie Doon carried scores of Americans.
The crowd after It and on the shores were
enormous. On arriving at Portsmouth
dock yard the favored ones embarked on
board the troop ships appointed to convey
them from here and from Southampton to
Spithead. The first troop ships to leave
with guests wore two huge Indian liners,
which excited much admiration from the
crowds on shore.
They were quickly followed by others
from the Portsmouth dock yard jetty. The
vessels participating in the pageant as
paradere" numbered 128 pennants and in
eluded squadrons of the ironclads and
cruisers, aggregating 34 vessels, 75 torpedo
boats, seven gun boats and Iron defense
sbip3, divided Into five flotillas, G training
brigs and 13 troopships. Besides these 123
ships under drill, there were the imperial
and Indian troop ships appointed to carry
distinguished visitors, and small vessels and
dock yard craft allotted to the corporation
of Portsmouth, all of which were well
laden and briskly used. The ships were
drawn up in four lines, facing the channel,
the starboard column being opposite the
Isle of Wight, the port column being off
Portsmouth.
The ships were stationed two cable lengths
apart.' the lines being three cables between
The flotillas were ranged in double col
umns between the port columns of the iron
clads and the mainland, and the troop ships
were placed In a single column between
the starboard line and the Isle of Wight.
This made four lines of vessels on one side
of the channel and three on the other, ex
tending from South Castle to RyeMidshoal,
a distance of over two miles. The Mona
teur kept clear the east approach to the
alley between the ironclad columns, and
the Agincourt did the same for the east ap
proach to the alley between the divisions
and the flotillas.
At 10 o'clock two Devonshire tugs
blocked the west end to the lines to all but
the ships of war and the Manly and Malta
at 2 o'clock went on duty, keeping the
eastern entrance to tho lines clear, four
tugs being under orders of the master of
the fleet. Troop ships and other vessels
conveying visitors were permitted to make
a tour of columns before 2 o'clock after
which they took up the positions assigned
them. The small vescels appropriated to
visitors anchored at 2 o'clock abreast of the
torpedo flotillas. The private craft carry
ing sight seers must have numbered sev
eral hundred. They represented pleasure
boats of all nations and climes and darted
about like birds of different plumage, im
parting unparallelled beauty to the scene
heretofore unprecedented.
The whole scene, surveyed just belore 2
o'clock, when the naval vessels were all in
place, their decorations full flung and their
crews in holiday pose, private crafts hur
rying to good places and multitudes ashore
and parking themselves In the best places
to see, the event of the day, was glorious in
the extreme. Probably no such fleet was
ever before seen in time of peace. Everv
class of the British navy was represented".
The review of the Crimean fleet by the
queen and prince consort thirty one years
ago would suffer by comparison with this.
Some of the wooden ships which figured in
that review were visible in Portsmouth
harbor today decked bravely out for the
occasion.
Kelson's old ship, Victory, was also a
conspicuous object and her old timbera
cracked again and again as boat after boat
passed her, full compliment cheering vlg
orously. More than that, the old ship
mounted a gun or two and joined in the
welcome to the Queen.
Shortly after 2 o'clock when order was
perceptible oa the water the Euphrates,
Crocodile and Maliboa proceeded to west
ward of the Osborne and stood In readi
ness to escort the royal yachts when the
queen embaiked et 3 o clock to review the
fleets.
The Queen left Osborne houe a few
minutes befor 3 o'clock and went aboard
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, ner
majesty left the buoy In Osborne bay
promptly at 3 o'clock- The royal proces
sion proceeded to Its destination and pawed
between the llnea leaving the coast defence
ships, gun boats and torpedo boats on the
port band. Her majesty pasted through
the lines of those endless war ahips, each
yard being manned with brawny tars.
Deafening cheer after ch&rr was sent up
from, lusxj crews to greet their wverdgn.
But it was until the quten had gone
through the double line that the great can
non of the bL; ship bean to thunder forii
the royal salute with a roar that caused the
great Teaeela to roll and the sea to increase
Ji
its heaving, as shot after shot came boom
ing over the water On such vessels as had
no masts, turrets, breastworks and decks
were lined by jack tars and the queen had
no reason to complain of her reception,
either on her progress down the line or her
return to Osborne which was safely reach
ed before 6 o'clock.
Taken altogether the vessels which were
drawn up in line when the queen passed
extended over four miles and even this
length was added to by the great troop
ships, laden with spectators also falling In
to line and saluting the queen as she made
her progress.
On Monday next all vesals comprising
the squadrons wilt put to sea to their sev
eral stations carrying instructions for mak
ing sham attacks on various undefended
positions on the British coast In ordea to
test the efficacy of the English land de
fensive arrangements.
DISCRIMINATION.
That was the Allegation Pleaded Be
fore the Commerce Commission.
Washington, July 23. The chairman
of the interstate commerce commission Iisjs
announced the decision of the commission
in the case of the Providence Coal Co.
against the Providence & Worcester rail
road. The complaint covers three main
points. The commission decides that the
allowance of a rebate to parties who ship
more than 30,000 tons a year is unwarranted
and invalid. The commission also decides
that the charge of a higher rate upon ship
ments from Providence than those from
East Providence Is also unwarranted and
invalid. The third point relating to a
charge of 8 cents for street hauling is de
cided to be a matter which the commission
cannot decide.
The committee to day gava a hearing in
the case of Wm. H. Counclll against the
Western & Atlantic railroad Counclll is
the colored man who having purchased a
first class ticket, charges that he was re
fused permission to ride in a first class car
and was forced to go into the smoking car
The railroad company was represented
by Julius L. Brown ot Atlanta, and the
complainant by John D Brandon anil
Oscar II. Huntley, of Huntsvllle. Mr.
Brown interposed some objections to the
admission of certain depositions and
during a brief discussion which ensued,
Mr. Brown stated his purpose to enter a
motionto throw out the complaint upon
the ground of lack of jurisdiction, this
being, he asserted, merely a claim for
damages.
The chairman said that the commission
would not sit here to try any more ques
tions of damages, but that mis was much
worse. Here were charges of unjust dls
crimination against a class of citizens. If
there were such a case it ought to arise up
on facts which are open, public and notor
ious, and there ought to be no dullculty lu
regard to them. The objection being
overruled the charges and respouses were
read. The gist of the railroads reply is
that the complainant went Into a ladles cat
in defiance of the rules of the company and
refused to go into the other car and that It
was tho passengers and not the train mcu
who assaulted him.
The answer admits the duty of the com
pany to furnish equal accommodations for
all first-class passengers, but it claims the
right to classify passengefa, either by the
color line or otherwise. After the reading
of a number of depositions Mr. Counclll
was sworn. He is an intelligent looking
colored man, well dressed, .self possessess
ed and of good address. He Is a minister
of the gospel and principal of the state
normal school at Huntsvllle. In reply to
inquiries by counsel he told the story of
his ejection from the car in which he had
taken his seat. He entered the car without
objection on the part of anyone. He was
toid by some one whom he did not recog
nize as a train man that he mu3t go for
ward, to which he paid no attention.
He was finally approached by two men,
one of whom carried a lautern and the
other had his hand upon his pocket. The
man with the lanlern seized witness, hit
him on the head several times with the
lantern, cutting his head badly and break
ing the glass. Witness appealed to the
.passengers but without avail. Ills assasl
ants then seized and carried him into the
forward car. Thl3 car was very flthy and
was full of smoke. As he was being push
ed from one car to the other tho brakeman
told him this was what he
got for not moving when requested
Counsel for the respondent opened his
side of case by rending u series of deposi
tions, one by a pa.senger named Whltsett
The following appears to have been the
style of Mr. Councill's invitation to change
cars: I walked forward to the front end
of the car and told Mr. Bivins, the flag
man, that I wanted his lantern a mlnuu.
I took It out of his hand then turned and
walked back to where Counclll
was sitting and told him there
was to be no more fooilsnnes?,
that I did not want to hurt him but he had
to go. He replied very Insolently that he
would not go, and then I grabbed him in
the collar and struck him over the head
with the lantern. I knocked him out of
his feat and pulled him out. He fell to
the floor, and as he raised up he came to
wards me and I let him have It with the
lantern; I hit him several times before I
conquered him and then rushed him out
of the car into the darkies' car. he was will
ing to go by the time I got through with
him.
The conductor of the train wa sworn
and testified In substance that the colored
car on the trip was similar in construction,
appearance and appointments to the ladies
car, except that one end wm partitioned off
for a smoker and was in a little better con
dition. If a white man should enter the
colored car witness would request him to
go out, and If he refused witness would
make him go. A white man accom
panted by ladies would be compelled to
enter the smoker, but after the train
started he might go into the ladies car if
there were vacant feats. This practice was
in compliance with bulletin order of the
rond but the orders were not printed.

Bkkmx, July 23. Tho campaign ajjalaet
Russian securities has abated, but the belief
on the bourse Is that the cesiatloa of the
newspapers ia a mere farce. The renewal:
of the raid depends on the power of the
small German capitalists having Ra-sia
investments to stand a further strain Thk
has already taught Russia that Germany
has effective means of retaliation for the
hostile tariffs and commercial rcslrictioM
imposed upon Germin trade and traders.
The Russian ambassador's return to Bee
lin on Wednesday was unexpected at the
embassy and was due soly to the akrut felt
at St. Petersburg over the depreciation of
Russian securities and the stoppage of
Russian credit at all Eurojwan finance
centers.
Count Schouvaloff conferred with chiefir
of the firms of Mcndleon t Blulchrodem
and with other eminent bankers and tried
to influence them by assuniactn of Ruwk
desire to cultivate more friendly ooonoralc
relations with Germany. The ambassador,,
however, madenoollicial representation oa
the subject to the German foreign orace.
His statements were communicat
ed to Prince Bismarck through,
the Blalchroders and as the
bankers recommended a cessation of the
attacks only on account of German invest
ors, the Russians have been nllowed a pe
riod of rest. It Is impossible to calculate
with exactitude the loss to the holders o
Rupslan securities since official Inspiration
set the raid goiug. Estimates range from.
15,000,000 to 2.1.000.000 marks as tke
amount of Russian securities sold by scared.
Investors who were willing to get rid of
them at any sacrifice. The bona tide aaloa
thrown on the bourse had nothing to car
with simulation.
'The tension of the populnce against
France is less extreme. The country could
not have existed long without some form
of action to relieve the strain and the with
drawal of Gen. BoulaQgcr from the front
and the war policy at the close of the
French asscmbbt, as well as the contempt
expressed In military circled for hli mobil
i7ation experiment, have combined to sootk
the public Irritation. Gen. Ferren'a plaa
of mobilization Is believed not to to involve
the same menace as Boulanger's.
A prominent military authority wrtUair;
to the Neustcn Nachrlchten of Munich, de
clares that if the mobilization of the French
army If confided to tHc southern or wU
em department It will be simply a cmtljr
fiasco. If carried out on the second line
of the French defense It will make nco
sary the greatest vigilance on the part of
the German authorities, but if carried out
near the frontier it must be taken as a dec
laration of war.
The Lrcucc Zeitung takes the name view
of the matter and find? comfort In the fact
that if France attempts a surprise Germaay
will be found In perfect rcadinow. Ad
vices from Metz and other frontier garri
sons report rencved activity in military
