Four PerNonn.
PITTSBURG, July G. ? During the
progress of n terrific iiiju storm here
four persons, were killed in an accident
of most unusual character.
The (lend are: Joseph Wlsa, Giuseppi
ijteuda. aged twenty-one years; Mrs.
Francesca .Statti, agt^l fifty-four, and
Giuseppi Statti, her son, agtd twenty
two.
All of the vietims except Wisa were
of the same family.
A large American flag suspended
from a grocery store became soaked
with the rain, and the high wind blew
it against an electric light wire which
was carrying 2, (XX) volts. The wire
snapped under the pressure and fell
into the street, one end lodging in n
pool of water, charging it to a high de
gree. The first one to fall a victim to
the wire was Wisa. who was running
for shelter from tin? rain. In crossing
the street he stepped into the pool of
wator and fell as though he had been
shot. Hjs death was instantaneous.
Shortly after this the Statti family
came driving along the street in a sur
rey. There were seven persons in the
vehicle, and the driver was hurrying
all he could to reach a place of shelter
from the storm. As he Approached the
broken wire hundreds of people tried
to warn him of the danger, but could
not make him understand until too
late. lie tried to pull away from the
wire1, but one of the horses stepped into
the highly charged pool of water and
fell paralyzed. The occupants of the
uirrey immediately began to jump, and
the four who leaped from the side op
posite the wire escaped injury, but the
three (in the other side in their excite
ment stepped on the wire and were
.hocked to death almost instantly.

RACE WAR AT CVAiMSVILLE.
Keero Slayer In r>:tiur?*r of Lrnchlnf
bj- Ansry Mob.
EVANS VI LLH Ind., July 0.? T creu
ty-flve policemen twice prevented a
lynching at the jail here, but their
bravery was not sufficient to avert a
bitter race war between negroes and
the white mobs that sought the life
jf Leo Brown, the negro slayer of Pa
i Mnssey.
The mobs smashed down iron gates
; in. ii.ic pari way into the jail be
fore they were repulsed by the police
men. Their efforts to lynch Brown
aroused the enmity ol the negroes of
the city, who gathered about the Jail
and made a threatening demand. The
uogroes were chased away by a crowd
at whrite men.
Brown killed Massey in a street bat
tle Friday. All Saturday there was
iaik of a lynching, and about 10 o'clock
it night men and boys began to assem
ble in the ?eighl>orliood of the Jail.
Sheriff C. W. Kratz had several depu
ties sworn in to protect the prisoner.
Judge Uasch of the circuit court met
the other officers of the court and or
dered the grand Jury to convene today
to look into the Brown case.
This morning, however, crowds be
cran to gather at the jail and near the
courthouse. A inob of 100 men and
boys made an attack on the jail with
a view of seizing the negro. T','>y had
a large telephone pole, which they
used to batter down the iron gate to
the right of the jail. Once in this
passageway tlie mob tried to beat in
the side door that leads to the jail cor
ridor.
Sheriff Kratz at once sent for the po
lice, who forced the mob from the pas
sageway into the street. The mob
grew in size, and another attempt was
made to enter the jail through the side
door. The officers tired no shots, but
again pushed the mob jnto the street,
and at 5 o'clock the mob dispersed,
promising to make another attempt on
the jail.
Sheriff Kratz finally took the prison
er to Vlncennes for safe keeping.
