SEVEN Kil l ED And as Many More Wounded in a Kentucky Race Riot. Hawesville Ky. special: As the ex- ! cursion train from the Owensboro Fair arrived at Power’s Station, a few miles west of this city, a terrible race war occurred between thirty drunken negioesanda few brave white men who nobly defended the women and children passengers. It seems that the negroes became frenzied because they were forced to ride in the colored apartment, and as they neared their home station they made a rush to get into the roach for white people. This frightened the women and less brave men who ran through the train. At this Deputy United States Marshal .Moses Bull ngton, one of the bravest of ail of Uncle Sam's officers. who had his family on the train, met the negroes ana attempted to quiet them. The negroes then began shooting as they got off the train. Deputy Billington and Squire Aldridge, both of this city, and Marshal Jones and Col. John 1 atterson of Lewisport, and a half dozen men named Atkins from this county, then began firing into 1 he negroes. As the train pulled out the negroes shot all the windows out of one coach, and the white men named emptied their guns into the negroes, who were hunched on the platfo in. Not one on the train was hurt, but it is thought that at least seven negroes are dead, and as many more in tired. One white man on the train used his knife, which j was covered with blood when he came in. These statements are from the lips o United States Marshal Bullington, who was interviewed at his home. DANGER To the European Residents in China. London special: British consuls at Hankow and Ning Po sent alarming dispatches to the Government, stating that European residents a e in peril. The Evening News published a sensational statement that the Cabinet Council was called to consider a dispatch from Minister (FConnorin which it is stated that llussia is intervening to assist China against Japan in return for the ce sion to Russia of certain ports of Corea, if this is true, the I Evening News adds, it will be flquestion of sending first-class British men-of-war to China to thwart Russian ! intentions. There is i.o confirmation of I these statements from other sources. I It is announe, d upon authority, that 1 the Cabinet Council, after discussing I the state of affairs in China decided to ! send troops to that country in order to protect E'r.tis i interes s. It is also robablo that additional ships will be sent to strengthen the fleet in Chinese waters under the command of Admiral Fremantle. It is aso said that in < onsequence of information received by the Cabinet, the British legation at Pekin will shortly be guarded by Brit sh blue jackets and qative Indian soldiers. KEPT HER PROMISE. Frightful Fall of a Lady Aeronaut from the Cio'd*. Miss Beatrice Von Dressden, aged 1", made a balloon ascension at the fair groun ,s at Franklinville, Cattaraugus County, N. Y. A strong wind was blowing at the time, and she was advised to postpone the trip, out as this was her birth place and all the p ople assemb.ed there knew her, she refused to disappoint them. The balloon was cut loose at 5 o'clock. When it had reached a height ot 1,5 in feet Miss Von Dressden endeavored to disengage the parachute fastened to the balloon. by which she purposed making her des ent. In some way she lost hold of both the balloon an i the parachute, and fell like a stone to the ground. Her body was driven into the ground nearly twelve inches by the shock of the fall. All her bones were broken and she did not breathe after reach ng earth. Her father and mother were among the first to reach her. They were frantic with grief. Five are Dead. Ironwood <Mich, special: John Ravell, a miner, put a half lox of dynamite in the oven of the kitchen stove to thaw it out for use. Tho family, consisting of seven persons, was gathered alx.-it the stove, chatting over the events of the day and conversing with a neighbor. Mrs. Peterson. In a few minutes, without a premonition of danger, there was a terrific explosion, which dealt out death with an unsparing hand. The following were killed: John Ravell. Peter Ravell, Dan Ravel!, Louise Ravell, Mrs. Louise Peterson. The injured are: Baby Clarence Ravell, Mrs. John Ravell, Thomas Ravell The in ured a»e in a dangerous condition, and it ia not unlikely that the family will be exterminated as a result of the father's foolish move. The house was blown to atoms. The Dispensary Law Constitutional. Columbus (S. C.) special: The decision of the Supreme Court in the dispansary cases has been tiled. Justices Pope an i Gary dec are the law constitutional, while Chief Justice Mclver dissents. The effect of the decision will be that Gov. Tillman will now begin an active warfare against the "blind tigers’’ which have been flourishing without much molestation sin e the a -t was declared unconstitutional. What the sMoon men will do is problematic. They have nover had any concert of action in fighting the law in the courts, but it is mure than likely that some kind of a case will be gotten up wh.eh will finally bring the question in the Supreme Court of the United States. Daring Burglary. Two masked men entered the house of Samuel Hotchkiss, a wealthy farm er near Utica, Mich., and, at the point of a revolver, held the entire family up. Hot hkiss made some show of resistance and was struck on the head with a club ana killed him. The men hen ransacked the house, securing .350 in cash and a large amount of jewely.

Boston, by hundreds of i eople. < harles E. Day, a lamp trimmer in the employ o. the Boston Electric Light Company, was cleaning a lamp and had hitched himself to the top of a pole, when attention was called to him bv a faint cry. Day was seen to be helpless and unconscious. in a few seconds he was limp, and a blue flame was emitted from his eyes, nose. mouth, and ears. Several unlookers tried to get up the pole, and one young man sue ■ ded in touching the "ixxlv when he dropped to the ground, receiving painful in.uries. A. J. Mumes started up the pole, and reached Day's body when he received a shock and fell thirty feet to Jhe ground, striking on his head, fracturing his skull. He died shortly afterward. It was more than a half hour before Dav's body, now terribly burned, was lowered to the ground and taken to the morgue. Submarine Eruption. The schooner Lila and Mattie, which has arrived at San Francisco, from Con- uille River reports a remarkable experience at sea. The schooner was lying oil the coast becalmed. The sea was perfectly s ooth, when suddenly a loud run bling noise was heard and the schooner commenced to pitch yio-■ lontly Although there was no wind, I a heavy sea sprang up almost in i stantly ar" the schooner was thrown! about in a niapner that threatened the safety of her mast. After a short time the sea went down and all was calm as before. The supposition is that the schooner experienced a submarine earthquake. The schooner Excelsior ; reports the same experience as the Liia and Mattie. The Big Lake Canal Again. Elkhart Ind. special: A corps of i engineers have just completed atrip! up the St. oe River and its branches in the interest o' the project of Toledo capitalists to build a canal to Chicago.

The series of games between the Baltimores, the National League champions. and the New Yorks, who finished Second in the league race, for the Temple cup, were concluded Monday. The New Yorks defeated the Orioles for the fourth consecutive time, thus ! winning the cup and 65 per cent, of 1 the net receipts of the tour tames. The net receipts amo nt to alout s2.',- I pop and each of the players will therefore receive a very snug sum for their groat work in the series ust closed. The New York- have outplayed the Baltimores aj all points in the series, an I have well deserved their victory and the spoils which go with it. Murder at Elk bar*. An unknown man was brutally murdered in the outskirts of Elkhart. Ind., by four men. who stoned their victim to death and with a car coupling beat his head to a pulp and then, stripping the body, buried it in a neighboring woods, where it was found.
