Her love was not reciprocated by the New Yorker, and she came to demand back some letters she had written. While parleying with him on the subject she drew a revolver and tired four, shots at him, one taking effect in his abdomen, and one going through his hand.

Amos Ross, a missionary, and Mrs. Keith, a school teacher, both half-bloods, Were stopped, but finally allowed to proceed. They met Smoot, who was bound for the agency, and warned him to go in by a circuitous route if he wished to avoid trouble, which he did. The authorities regard the occurrence as the aet of some crazy young bucks whose

hearts are again bad. No special importance is attached to it, and the general opinion at the agency is that there will be no renewal of the troubles this spring. Strengthening the Coast. The War Department 4s taking steps to secure more ground in the vicinity of New York City fdr coast defenses. Condemnation proceedings are now being instituted through the department of justice to secure title for the government. Secretary Proctor says: “We want Plumb Island and more land at Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth for the additional protection of New York harbor. The government is taking steps to secure land for sea-coast forts wherever needed. As there are many owners it is impossible to obtain it by purchase. One tract that was wanted near Boston had sixty owners. Os course, it would be impracticable to come to terms with so many, so I had competent appraisers appointed, in the localities where the government wished to obtain property, to value the land on an equitable basis. Those who are willing to accept the price fixed upon will be negotiated with, bnt as against those who will not accept the value fixed by the appraisal, legal proceedings are being instituted to “condemn the property.” Not AU Serene. A special from Scottdale, Pa., dated the 17th Inst., says: Officials report a steady run of applications for work and coke shipments, though small, are growing.

The company officers say he will be evicted tomorrow by force if necessary. Nine eviction notices have been served at nearly all the works in Fayette County end of the region, and as the notices expired to-day a number of peaceful evictions took place. A snag was struck at Mogans, however, aud the deputies telegraphed they were in fear of their lives. Sheriff McCormick wired them to hold off until to-morrow, when he will appear with reinforcements, and evictions will begin by the wholesale. A Collision at Sea. London special: The DutcE steamship P. Callend, Captain De Vens, from New York April 10, for Amsterdam, collided in the English channel with the British steamer, Glamorgan, bound from Antwerp for Cardiff. The Glamorgan sank shortly after the collision occurred. At the time of the disaster an extremely heavy fog prevailed. The crew of the P. Callend succeeded in rescuing the ship’s crew off the Glamorgan, who had fortunately been able to lower their boats and get away from their sinking vessel. The Callend arrived in Dover Roads with her bows badly stoved, but was unable to anchor because of serious injury inflicted upon her anchoring. She was also injured below the water line. Tugs were promptly sent to her assistance. A Doomed Man. The New York Herald prints a story in which it declares that the terrors of the Mafia ate at our very doors. It says that Francesco Aitta, of Third avenue, a feather-duster manufacturer, has been warned that he must die, and that he is in daily fear of assassination. Aitta testified in a Italian murder case a year or more ago and that gained the enmity of the Mafia. He was threatened at the time, but fled. He changed his name and personal appearance as much as possible, but was soon traced by the organization and now says he is awaiting his death.

' Shrewd Bismarck. Berlin special: Prince Bismarck has finally consented to stand a reballot in Gestemunde, but he also consents to become a candidate in the Lehe district, where he is certain of return, the electorate being almost purely Conservative. His motive is obvious. Returned for Gestemunde, as he doubtless will be, when opposed only by a Socialist candidate, he will refuse the mandate, accepting that of a consistency which will return him with one accordant voice. 0 I Fearful Havoc of Righto Ing. At Trenton, Mo., Wm. Hoffman, Wm. Ferguson and Fred Stinson sought shelter from a storm under a tree. Lightning struck the tree, instantly killing Hoffman, who was leaning against the tree.

Halford, private secretary to President Harrison, died at her apartments at the Elsmer in Washington. Mrs, Halford has been an invalid for the past two years, suffering from a complication of disorders which finally cultimated in consiAnption,. which was the immediate cause of her death.

The latter was running at full speed, and the force of the collision was so great that both engines, three mail cars and one baggage-car were completely wrecked. None of the passenger cars left the track, and none of the passengers received serious injuries. It was the custom for these two trains to pass at Kipton, the Toledo express taking the side track for the fast mall, which usually went through Kipton without slackening its speed. The Toledo express was a few minutes late, and had just come to a stop at the switch when the fast mail came in sight. There is scarcely any curve at the station, but •on one side of tho track was a line of freight cars and on the other the station. These might have obstructed the vision of the engineer of the fast mail Unapplied tho air-brakes when he saw that a < olEsion was inevitable, but the speed of the train was not ehe ked mater ally. The engine of the Toledo express was knocked squarely across the tra k. and that of the fast mail reared in the air, resting on top other. The fast mail cons sted of three mail ears and two parlor cars. and the Toledo expiess of five coaches and two baggage cars. The first’ and -second ma 1 cars were telescoped and smashed to k ndling wood, and the t|iird crashed into the first two and rolled over on the station platfoim, breaking the windows of tho build ng. The two baggage cats of the Toledo express were knocked from the tra k, but did not turn over. The force of the collision was so great that of the sixty-four revolving-chairs in the two parlor-cars only four remained attached to the floors, al] the others being broken and hurled about in confusion. The passengers were thrown to the floors and badly shaken. The passengers of the two trains at once began the work of rescue, and with a corps of physicians from the town iministered to the few who were injured. .All but one of tho dead were beyond human assistance as soon as the collision occurred. The bodies were all horribly crushed and m tilated, arms and legs being torn off a i the corpses were almost beyond recognition. Charles Topliff, the engineer of the fast mail, remained bravely at his post, and was found deau with his hand on the throttle. His hands and face were so badly scalded that the blackened flesh dropped from the bones when his body was taken out. The poor postal clerks had not a chance to escape. They were caged like rats, and the telescoping of the car crushed the life out of thorn without a moment’s warning. When the passengers who were on the fast mail arrived at Cleveland they brought the first authentic account of the wreck, there being no correspondents or other facilities for getting the news from Kipton, which is a mere hamlet These passengers say that the cars and locomotives were piled in a heap higher than the station. It is difficult to locate the fclame for the accident, as both of the engineers are dead. It is said, however, that the express was ordered to stop at Oberlin, but wont on to Kipton, which is six miles farther west, and had not sufficient time to make the side track. MOBS RULE THE REGION. Strikers in Pennsylvania Resume Violent Tactics and Doty the Officers. Hardly had the soldiers left the Scottdale, Pa., region before the fears of the citizens were realized, and gangs of cokers again turned loose their lawless passions of hate and revenge. Throughout the region all the night the earth fairly trembled with a succession of shocks following the explosion of dynamite bombs. At Leisenring No. 3of the Frick Works a crowd of strikers gathered on the hill, and at one time thirty bombs were exploded simultaneously, tearing great holes in the earth, break-.. Ing windows in many houses, and frightening people for many miles around by the terrific roar. No one was injured, however, and little actual damage was done, the strikers contenting themselves with this portentous warning tu the workers below. The water tank at the Kyle works was blown up. but the perpetrators were not discovered. One of the most daring and lawless acts of this lawless strike took place at Leith. In order to disperse the threatening mob. Deputies Smith and Rice arrested one of them, a young man named John Shaffer, and started to bring him to jail. His companions attacked the deputies, beat them with clubs and stones, and rescued Shaffer. Deputy Smith was severely injured. He received a number of ugly bruises on his body, and a deep gash in the head with a knife. It is also feared that Deputy Sanner, who was Injured in the riot at Leisenring No. 2, will not recover. Sheriff McCormick telegraphed the governor for military aid, and was told In reply that it was not the duty of the military to do police duty and the soldiers' could not be ordered out until the civil power is exhausted. With the mob storming the office from which the message was sent, he made a second appeal, and Gov. Pattison then wired Capt L. H. Frazier of company E, Tenth regiment, Uniontown, to place his company under arms and assist the sheriff in maintaining the peace. A telegram was also sent to Capt. Loar, at Mount Pleasant, to take his company to assist SK.r'tt McCormick. Josh Billings' Philosophy. How menny suspishus people one meets in this world.
