Trichmiasis carried off Mrs. Galle and daughter at Loyal Hanna, Pa., and Mr. Galle and another daughter are not expected to recover. Seven Austro-Polanders looking for wprk were struck by a backing eugine at Pa. Five were killed, one lost an arm, and one is unhurt. They were dismembered, and heads and limbs scattered over the road for many rods around. At Northeast, N. Y., Edward House, while firing at a mark, shot his wife dead. Mrs. a maniac, murdered her 16-year-old daughter, near Forestport, N.Y. • A bloody tragedy was enacted at a prize fight near Hyndman, Pa. Two Hungarian bruisers, Vest and Kilraine, entered the ring and fought fifty-eight rounds, pounding each other to a jelly. During the fifth-eighth Kilraine struck a blow which laid Vest out. There were cries of “Foul! foul 1 ” when the referee and umpires jumped in and drew their guns. A horrible riot followed. The results of the whole affair, collected when it was over, were Vest dead, another man shot dead through the body, three others apparently dead, and half of. the rest of the crowd badly used up. Ben Hogan, the ex-prize-fighter, was present exhorting the crowd to “flee from the wrath to come.”
