Shoot* Three Wum»n and Is Himself Brought Down Willi Sliotguu.
Klncaid, Ivan., special: George Miller, who was recently released from an insane asylum, shot three women neighbors thli afternoon and was himself dangerously wounded while resisting arrest. The injured women are:
MRS. \V. H. BURKEY, shot In breast probably fatally. MISS EFFIE KIRBY, shot In back will die.
MISS JENNIE KIRBY, shot in side will recover. Miller had called to see the Kirby sisters at the Burkey house, and, being refused admission to the house, broke through the door and shot down the two women as they attempted to escape. He then chased several children through the streets, and hunted up a physician to attend the wounded women. When officers attempted to arrest him the crazed man opened fire, but was finally brought down with a load from a shotgun. He may die from the wound.
Another Crn7.y Criminal.
Humansville, Mo., special: What is almost certain to result in a double tragedy occurred last r.ight near Weaubleau, Hickory county. Missouri. Sam Smith, jr.. a young farmer, attacked his aged stepmother, Mrs. Smith, with a cornknife. Her sister. Mrs. Cox, ran to her assistance. and Smith hacked both women on their heads, shoulders and arms until both were unconscious. He then went to the home of a neighbor and reported that he had killed them. Both women are close to sixty years old, and neither can live. Smith was arrested and taken to Hermitage. He is believed to be insane. The immediate cause of the trouble was a refusal by Mrs. Smith to rent her farm to her stepson.
"FOUR OF A KIND."
Tho Oft-Reprleved New Mexican Murtlurs Hanged at Last.
Santa Fe, N. M., special: Francisco Gonzales Borrogo, Antonio Gonzales Borrego, Sauriano Alarid and Patricio Valencia, condemned to death tor the murder of ex-Sheriff Frank Chavez, who was killed from ambush on tne night of May 29, 1S!)2, were hanged together on one scaffold at 9:09 a. m. today. Thursday night ten special guards were placed in the jail by the sheriff and this morning a draft of forty men was made on the cavalry and infantry companies by the Governor, with instructions to act under orders of Sheriff Kinsel. The scaffold was twelve feet by twenty-one feet, with a six-foot drop through a single trap six feet long and three feet wide. The prisoners passed a restful night, the guards saying that not one even turned in his sleep. The death warrant was read to them at 7:30 this morning and was received by the Borregos with some facetiousness. The ropes and caps were adjusted and at 9:09 the trap was sprung. The necks of all were broken except that of Valencia, the lightest in weight, who died from strangulation.
NEWS BUILDING CONDEMNED.
An Indianapolis Itusiues* IIouso Fn'.ls Down With Serious Results to Adjoining Property.
Last week the building occupied by tho Knox five-cent store on West Washington street, Indianapolis, collapsed and fell into a mass of ruins as a result of undermining on the vacant lot adjoining on the west where the foundations of a new building wore being put in. Building Inspector Bunting has been watching things closely in that vicinity and Monday he recommended that the west wall of tho building in which is situated Sloan's drug store and the entire News building, 32 W. Washington street, owned by J. H. Holliday, be torn down immediately. Acting upon the clause of the charter which empowers the Board of Public Works to act in emergencies, the board ordered the buildings razed at once. John W. and Edward Schmidt own the Sloan building. They took the precaution to have the inside of their building braced up with strong timbers Friday night so that it will in no wise be endangered by tho removal of the wall. It is the understanding that the remaining portion of the Knox building will be torn away and that arrangements will be mndo to rebuild at once. The loss to Mr. Holliday will be very heavy.

Another Dunkard Esorlas.
Wabash special: A year ago three hundred Dunkards from Roan and North Manchester, In this county, joined the Dunkard colony In North Dakota, and, though they have not prospered in the new location just as they anticipated, and many gloomy letters were written buck to relatives in this county, the efforts'of the organizers to induce another heglra to that region this winter have been crowned with glittering success. At Roan Tuesday afternoon three hundred men and women, all Dunkards, boarded a special train made up of Great Northern Railway cars for Cando. Two-thirds of these came from the northern part of this county and tlie others from Miami county. They were not discouraged by the dismal tales of crop failure and cold
weather which were received the last year, and looked forward to prosperity and plenty. Over a thousand people crowded the vicinity of the station to bid the party farewell.

Terro Haute Suit Club*.
A special from Terre Haute, Ind., says: The suit clubs, which have lately cropped out again, and are menacing legitimate trade, are to be stopped by law. A delegation of tailors and clothiers waited upon the prosecuting attorney and laid their grievance before him. The clubs, which are virtually a lottery or a raffle, are threatening their trade, they said, and they proposed to have it discontinued if it landed every one of the operators in jail and cost themselves a round assessment each. They denounced he schemes, which are being practiced at several different places, as bunco games of the worst description. Where one lucky man gets a suit for nothing, some other poor sucker has to pay for his twice over, and then at a high valuation. The prosecutor assured them that the matter would be attended to at once. ..-'"'V

factory suburb, and were rather encouraged by the residents, who profited by, their operations. They operated principally in the small towns In this section, which are without police protection, and they sold their plunder to the southslders in such quantities, and at such prices as to work serious injury to the business men. Ten days ago three stores at Mt. Aetna, in Huntington county, were looted, and A1 Hadley, a young man in the neighborhood, was arrested for complicity In the burglaries. In the Huntington jail, Hadley weakened and told all he knew. He said he had got drunk with a gang of toughs, who Induced him to engage in robbery. The leader of the gang, he said, was called Fred Nichols by his companions. Last Monday Otis Hadley, a brother of the prisoner, went on the trail of Nichols. His object was to verify his brother's confession, which was not entirely believed by the Huntington authorities. He came to this city disguised as a tramp, and joined the colony of thieves, which had their rendezvous on the south side. He wormed himself into their confidence, and secured enough evidence to warrant the arrest not only of Nichols, but also of three others. The men were known as Fred Nichols, Ed McMahan, Jack Highlands and "Whitey" Holm, and young Hadley claims that they were implicated in burglaries in Grant, Huntington, Delaware, Adams and Jay counties, extending over three years. Nichols is the man who, when detected in a burglary at Magely, in Adams county, shot in the arm the man who caught him and escaped. Hadley also discovered that there is on the south side a "fence" for stolen merchandise.

Collapse ortho E. S. Dean & Co. Syndicate —Gudgeons Robbed of $5,000,000.
The failure of the E. S. Dean & Co. syndicate of New York, with branches throughout the country, was announced Monday. The assets of the firm were placed in charge of the sheriff. A New York special of Tuesday states that the offices of tho firm were besieged all day by anxious investors. Some of them came from New Jersey and far up New York State, hoping to get back some of their money. The deputy sheriff in charge of the office gave them no encouragement. lie also refused to receive numerous "collcct" telegraphic dispatches. Some of the investors were poor washerwomen and seamstresses, who had given their last dollar to the bucket shop, tempted by the promises of enormous profits. Even the firm's own typewriters had not received their wages. It is said that 25,000 Investors all over the United States have lost $5,000,000. The Indianapolis branch was in charge of Miss M. E. Massey, who is said to have "gathered in" at least $300,000 at that branch for her employers. Miss Massey is herself a loser to the extent of $7,000. Some most distressing cases are reported of poor misguided people who have lost their little ail in a vain attempt to "get rich quick" from small investments.
THE NEW PRISON IAW,
EicliniiaJ of PriKO'irrs Pending a Construction of It.
The plans for the exchange of prisoners between the State prison at Michigan City and the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonvllle have been temporarily abandoned on account of the decision of Judge Hubbard at South Bend, that tho new Refoimatory act is invalid. After President Nebeker, of the board for the State prison, had talked with the Governor, and the Governor had consulted the Attorney-General, it was deemed advisable to call a halt. Telegrams were sent to Michigan City and to Jeffersonvllle, anouncing that no further preparations for the exchange would be made at this time. A telegram was also sent to the Attorney-General of the United States at Washington, announcing that the Federal prisoners would not be moved. The friends of prison reform are hoping that the decision of Judge Hubbard will not be sustained by the Supreme Court, but they realize that a serious question has been raised, and feel that the new boards ought to move cautiously. An effort Is being made to have the question presented to the Supreme Court at the earliest day possible.

Tho discontinuance was caused in a great measure by the controversy which sprung up between two factions of the church membership called the "liberals" and "tights," and which was bitterly waged on both sides. This caused many students to leave the school. It was one of the oldest educational Institutions of the State, having been founded about 1S50. The following were Its presidents since 1850 J. McD.

IJANGEROUS BREAKS IN THE JI.OWEK MISSISSIPPI LEVKKS
Aiiat Will Result'-l tlie Flooding 0/ LArgt Arena of Fertile Country and C&uso Much Damage—Fifty Toms
Inuudatcd.
Memphis, Tenn., special: Another disastrous break in the Mississippi levee occurred at 8 o'clock at Flower lake, six miles below Tunica, Miss. The crevasse, while not yet of grent width, is fully fifteen feet deep, and the water is pouring through the opening with fearful velocity. This will probably be the most destructive break that has occurred In tho delta. The most fertile farm lands of Mississippi, lying in Cohoma, La Flore, Quitman and Tallahatchie counties, in the northern part of the State, will be inundated, and the newly planted corn crops will be laid waste. Fortunately no loss of life is reported, the inhabitants of this stricken section having made preparations for the catastrophe.
The condition of the poorer classes throughout the flooded area is indeed critical. Thousands of refugees are being huddled on the levees and spots of land* waiting for relief. The towns of Rosedale and Tunica report that everything' possible is being done for these poor people, but the funds and provisions are fast becoming exhausted. In the little city of Rosedale alone 1,200 refuges are being cared for by the citizens.
Half a hundred towns stand in six feet of water and the yellow stream Is creeping up slowly but surely.
Advices just received tell of a break In the levee two miles south of Helena. Ark. This is the levee for which the. people of southeastern Arkansas have mado such a desperate fight. The waters from this break will flood a great area and In all probability will back up into the streets of Helena.
The relief steamer Ora Lee arrived at Miirlanna, Arlc.. late this afternoon, having made an expedition up the St. Francis river. There were on board 1
GO refu
gees and COO head of cattle. The steamer went up the St. Francis river as tar an the cutoff, and then worked her way down strearr rescuing people from perilous positions. The suffering along tho St. Francis river is appalling. The water throughout the entire neighboring country is from six to fifteen feet deep. Tho relief boat had on board the body of Mrs. McCain, of Baggio City. The body was found at Baggio, and It was taken to Marianna for burial. The St. Francis river is rising from threo to five inches daily.
At Memphis the river is slowly rising again, the guage registering 30.4 feet. This is a rise of one-tenth since last report. At points below Vicksburg the river is rising. It is the general opinion of old river men here that if tho leveea below Vieksburg hold tho great volumo "r water in its regular channel it will bo mile short of a miracle.
