BI.OOD FLOWS FREELY.

PARIS, July 6. —Rioting still continues. It has gone so far that it is impossible to say where it will end. Marshal Saussier, the military governor of Paris, has warned all the garrison to be I11 readiness at a moment's notice. M. Loze's resignation as prefect of police lias been refused by the govcrnnient.

At 0:30 Wednesday night a mob In the Boulevard St. Michel assumed a threatening' attitude, and the police charged upon the crowd, driving the rioters down tho Rue des Ecoles as far as tho Place Maubert. There the mob made a determined stand, showering stones and every kind of missile on the police. A hand-to-hand fight followed and the struggle continued until the police were reinforced by a large force of republican guards, when the rioters were dispersed. In the meantime a body of police and republican guards had assembled in the vicinity of the labor exchange, which is now occupied by troops.

One SlRn Killed.

At 11 o'clock tl'.ere was a sanguinary encounter on the Rue des Ecoles. Tho exact details are wanting, but it is known that tho republican guards charged upon the rioters with drawn swords and that the police opened fire with revolvers the mob. One man was on the spot by a cut from a

upon killed saber.

Others were taken to neighbor­

ing drug stores, whore their wounds were dressed. Another mob upset and sot fire to a tram car in the Rue Monge. The car was burned to ashes by tho time the firemen arrived on tho scene. It is believed that petroleum was used to destroy the car.

Pollcemeu Thrown Into the Seine. Loxnox, !uIv 0--—The Standard's correspondent at Paris says that three policemen were thrown into tho Seine by the mob during the rioting Wednesday. It is supposed that they were drowned, as they have not since been seen. The body of an assistant brigadier of police was found in the river near the Grenalle bridge. The Paris Temps says that forty-two policemen and sixteen republican guards were wounded during the fighting Wednesday. Eighteen ldosks were burned and forty-five others ransacked.

Reinforcements Ordered,

The French govornment has ordered to Paris reinforcements from the garrisons at Versailles, Melun and other placcs.

Tho municipal council held an excited meeting at which resolutions wore adopted to the effect that the provailing disorders are due to the hostility of tho police toward the citizens. The council throws the responsibility for tho disturbances upon Prefcct of Police Loze and his hierarchiohal chief, Premier Dupuy.

Disgraceful Scene In tlie Chamber. Another disgraceful Bcene was witnessed in the chamber of deputies at noon. The proposal was made that the chamber should at once proceed to discuss the subject of riots, but M. Dupuy, the prime minister, opposed such action. Ilis opposition was seized upon by the extremists to make a demonstration They howled and yelled, and a general uproar followed. For a time nothing could be heard but .cries and counter cries, and the utmost disorder prevailed. When order was finally restored the chamber, by a vote of 377 to KI3, postponed consideration of the question until Monday.

Origin of the Trouble.

The startling suddenness with which the scuffle between the students and the police has developed into bloody rioting causes the government anxiety. The original cause of the trouble has been quite lost sight of in the general rioting in which all the scum of southern PariB, reinforced bv the lawless vagabonds from Montmartre, Belleville and other thieves' rookeries north of the Seine, arc taking the part of the students. The agitation was solely caused by the manager of the students' ball being fined for allowing girls to appear in a state little removed from nuility.

Students Out of the Troublo. The students, however, have generally withdrawn from the disorders and' the issue is now between the Paris canaille and the police. A delegation of students has waited upon M. Dupuy and protested against being further associated with the riots. M. Dupuy declared himself satisfied, and the students have agreed to assist the police with every means in their power. They have placarded a manifesto on the trees of the Boulevard St. Michel calling upon students to withdraw from all manifestations, and declaring that the trouble is mainly due to "agents provocaters." The government's anxiety chiefly arises from the belief that the Boulangists are fostering the riots for political ends.

VICTIMS OF A. FLOOD.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 0.—The steamer Belgic has arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama, bringing advices to the effect that one of the brandies of Welling river has overflowed in consequence of the heavy rains. At Shaking and Woole it is estimated that over 1,000 persons were drowned and as many more left homeless. Incessant rains in Maningfu have beon succeeded by disastrous floods, devastating a vast area of country, and according to a telegram received by uative authorities at Shanghai nearly 10,000 people have been drowned and crushed to death by the falling of houses.

A Whole Family Wiped Out. GAGETOWN, Mich., July 6.—During an electrical storm Tuesday night lightning struck the house of A. Roberts, 4 miles northeast of here, and destroyed the building, and five of the occupants were burned to death, one other slightly and one perhaps fatally. Mr. Roberts' daughter, her husband and child, of Fostoria,Mich., were here on a visit to see a young man named George Frost, from Silverivood, this county. The whole party had been to Cass City to celebrate the Fourth and returned about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. After the boys had exploded a few firecrackers all retired.

Found Ills Bed Afire.

About 3 o'clock Wesley Roberts was awakened by the bedclothes being on fire and burning his hair. He and his brother and Mr. Frost slept upstairs. Jumping out of a window Wesley ran to his father's bedroom, aroused liiin and got his father, mcihor and one sister out by pulling them through the window. In the meantime his other brother and sister managed to get out, but A. E. Babcock, his wife and child, who slept in another room, were stqpned by the lightning or suffocated by the atnoke, and were consumed with the building.

Five Lives Lout.

The five persons who perished are: A. E. Babcock, Mrs. A. E.Jiabooek and their 2-year-old child, »U of Fostoria, and George Frost, of Sllverwood, and a son of Air. Roberts, .years old. Nothing is left of the five-unfortunates but the charred trunks of their bodies, and it is a sickening sight. The death of Mr. Babcoclc, wife and child, takes the whole of that family.

Fslslljr Burned.

Miss Hannah Roberts is thought to be fatally burned. Both her hands and arras are cooked to the elbows, and Dr. Lyman, the attending physician, thinks she inhaled flame and is internally burned. Mr. Roberts, his wife and one girl and his son Wesley, who saved his parents, escaped without much injury.

CftQMd by Lightning.

There is only one theory as to the cauce of this terrible accident. It was during the rain and thunder storm that was prevailing early Wednesday morning. Lightning struck the house and set it on fire. The inmates returning late, worn out by the day's tramp, probably never aroused and were suffocated long before the flames reached them. This does not apply to Mr. Frost, who, it is supposed, tried to rescue Mr. Babcock and his wife, and was overcome by the heat and Bmoke.

Lost In a Burning Boat.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 0.—The Bethel boat, located at the foot of Jackson street on the Mississippi river, was burned to the water's edge Wednesday night at 11 o'clock. The boat was used as a place of refuge for men and women who were too poor to pay for their lodging elsewhere, the berths being in the upper part of the boat, which was a two-story structure. Tlii.s was the part that was burned and five people are believed to have lost their lives.

Two Bodies Recovered.

The charred bodies of the matron, Mrs. Peak, and an unknown man had been recovered at midnight. Two women were seen on the roof during the fire. Before they could be rescued they sank into the flaming "fire trap. Their bodies have not yet been reached. Lulu Morgan, a 12-year-old daughtei of Rev. David Morgan, the superintendent at St. Luke's hospital, was fatally burned. Forty people were sleeping in the boat at the time the fire broke out, and all who could do so escaped in their night clothes. The fire was started by a lamp which exploded in the washroom. The boat was built by prominent citizens of the town for philanthropic purposes and was anchored to a wharf.

BERLIN, July 8.—King William in his spcech closing the Prussian landtag, referring to tho drought and the scarcity of grain and fodder, said measures would be taken to remedy the scarcity, while at the ame time help would be extended to agriculturists.

OMAHA, Neb., July 0.—Tho American savings bank has gone into voluntary liquidation and has asked the state banking board to wind up its affairs. This is due to the failure of the American Loan fe Trust company, which has been placed in the hands of a receiver at the instance of tho directors of that concern, the trust company being the principal stockholder in the savings bank. The failure of the trust company is attributed to the failure of the Omaha & South Texas Land company, with $5,000,000 capital, whose great object of developing the suburb of Houston Heights, near Houston, Tex., was the pet scheme of O. M. Carter, the president of all the concerns named.

An ofllcer of the twin concerns said: "So far as the savings bank Is concerned there are $253,000 In the best securities of the bank to meet the liabilities of $153,000 on deposit. Carter is a ruined man financially a* a result of this failure."

A HOST OF CHRISTIANS

The Great Endeavor Convention at Montreal Not Yet Fairly Under Way. MONTREAL, Can., July 6.—Wednesday was a day of quiet enjoyment for the Christian Endeavorers. They climbed the height, took little excursions on tho St. Lawrence, shot the Lachine rapids, besieged the depots to greet newcomers, and In other ways made themselves at home In the Canadian metropolis.

Shaw, of Boston, were also the recipients of silver medals after the same pattern of that presented the president! After this President Clark, Secretary Baer and Treasurer Shaw met in secret session with the board of trustees for prayer and transaction of business.

Neither of these points was completed and the meeting closed at the hour named with tho work in the hands of the committees appointed for the purpose. In five of the city churches at uiglit prayer meetings were held, with addresses from some of the most prominent delegates.

VICTIMS OF A FIEND.

Two Young Olrla Brutally in Kentuoky.

Foand Her Dead Children.

About 9 o'clock the mother heard her younger daughter scream as if in mortal agony or fear. She rushed toward the place where she had last seen her little one. In order to reach It she had to pass the spot where the older one had been standing. Without a warning she came on her dead body lying on tho ground. Her throat had been out from ear to ear. The motherscreamed frantically for aid and threw' herself upon the body of her daughter. J. E. Dupoyster, foreman of a gang of railroad laborers, was at work with his men near the Mayfleld bridge. They heard the children scream and started to ascertain the cause. Then the mother's outcry followed and guided them to the spot where she and the dead body of her eldest daughter lay. Search was at once made for the other girl. She was also dead when found. Her body was partially concealed by the blackberry bushes only a few yards away. Her throat had been cut as hersister's had been.

Horribly Mutilated.

The lower part of the elder girl's: body had beeh horribly mutilated, after the manner of the Whltechapol murders in London. It is supposed that the little one came upon the sceno at that instant, had'seen the full tragedy and uttered the scream the mother had heard, and that the murderer, in order to prevent the child from proving a witness against him, had caught and killed her, too, and tossed her body into the bushes.

A Valuable Clew. I

Within ten minutes after the discovery of the crime fully twenty men were on the ground. The murderer had been so daring in his work that he was reckless of the fact that so many were close at hand. Near the body of the elder girl was found a man's cheap blue flannel coat. This was the only clew to tho Identity of the perpetrator, but it is likely to prove a valuable one. One of the workmen who had comc up said he had seen the coat on the back of a young white man, a tramp who had oome into that vicinity a day or two before. A colored woman said she had seen the same man early In the morning and bad given him his breakfast. He had on a blue coat similar in appearance to the one found beside the murdered girl.

Hunting Him Down.:

The whole community is aroused farms, threshing machines and evon villages are deserted. and all tho people are engaged in the search. A number of suspects were arrested and, though they gave fair accounts of themselves, are still held. Late Wednesday evening a man answering the description of

The elder girl, only IB years old, had been mutilated after the manner of the Whitechapcl murders.

Scene of tlie Crime.

The crime occurred-uuar the home of John Ray, between Fort Jefferson and Bard well, Ky., 9 miles from Cairo, Wednesday forenoon.

They left their home about 7:8# Wednesday morning to pick blackberries in a patch less than 800 yards from the house. Their mother saw them half an hour later and they were then separated some distance, each intent upon filling her pail with berries.

the tramp, wearing a navy blue vest niu no coat, was seen-ill a cornfield near Port Jefferson. He was ordered to come out. but refused, and fired a pistol at the hunt'rs. They returned the fire, but he disappeared in the corn. The field now is surrounded with pickets so closely that not even a rabbit could get through unseen. It is thought he will be captured soon.
