THE HOOSIER TRAGEDY.

After Escorting Their Mother and Sister to t Place of Safety, ths Conrad Broth' era Return to the Scene of Saturday Night’s Conflict to Plnd Their Home Burned—They Swear Vengence on Other Members of the Mob of “Night Riders” —Their Fifth Victim Dies of His Wounds —Others Thought to Have Been KiHed. Cobydon, Ind., Aug. 8, 3 a. m.—The white caps of Boone township burned the house of the Conrads during the night Monday three riderless horses owned by three white caps—John Kendel, William Fish and William Hubbel —were found. It is thought that their owners have been killed by the Conrads, who have returned from Kentucky. They say they have three more men to kill. It is thought they are in hiding in the woods. Harrison county is excited as it never was beforq. The murderers are in ambush and everybody is going armed. The Conrads are asking relatives to help them, and a bloody battle is expected. W. May, who was shot by the Conrad brothers during the raid of the white caps against the hunted men early Sunday morning, is dead, making five victims in all. The Conrad boys have not been captured. They left their log hut in the fastness-of the hills at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Each of the brothers carried a shotgun and had two revolvers strapped about their waist. With their old mother and their sister Fanny between them they marched down the road through the woods to the Ohio river in broad daylight. At the mouth of Mosquito creek they found Bill Niel, an old ferryman, and he took the party across to the Kentucky shore. When they reached Kentucky Sam told the boatman he would come back and kill everybody who had a hand in the trial of the brothers for the alleged killing of their father. Neil said Monday:

“I did not know who they were until I reached the Kentucky shore. Then the older man told me they were the Conrad brothers and that they had killed a lot of white caps. ‘One of the neighbors,’ he said to me, ‘told me this after noon that Albert Howe, John Wiseman, John Timberlake, William May and Edward Houston were dead. I think if they look Up In the millet patch they will find another boily. It is there for I saw the man fall, and I know he had a load of buckshot in his head. Altogether we fired thirty-two shots. Five men besides those who were killed were badly hurt. They are all a lot of cowards, anyway, and my brother and I will go back and take care of our farm in spite of them.’ “The two women had to be almost carried Into the boat. Fanny's face was cut and she looked as If the white caps had treated her roughly. The boys asked me to go over and watch their stock, but I told them I was afraid of my life to do it Astor they got out of the boat In Kentucky Bill broke down and cried, but the old woman told him not to be a baby.’ All day through the wild bluff country of Harrison county, untouched by railroads and almost inaccessible by wagons, wild rumors have been afloat. Raw-boned men on lean horses have been galloping to and fro through the woods. They were white caps apparently, but they were not looking for the Conrads. They were trying to find out definitely how many of their number were killed by the men whom they had planned to whip and perhaps lynch. Reports that six more white caps were missing had started them on the search. One prominent farmer, Henry Tinsley, living near Elizabeth, was found to have a serious wound on the chest and may die. All the county turned out to the “burying” Monday of the four dead white caps. The funerals were held from four little churches 8 or 10 miles apart and almost hidden in the depths of the tangled woods. From one to another, up and down the bluffs, the strange crowd of backwoods people journeyed, paying their last tribute to their fellows, for the dead men were all prominent farmers. Adam Anderson, of Laconia, was one of the first to go to the house Sunday morning. He said: “As near as I can learn there were about sixty in the gang of night riders who called on the Conrads Sunday morning. They hitched their horses in the woods on the brow of the hill and started to climb down the bluff into the ravine. The Conrad boy, who was lying out, ran to the house and gave the alarm to his brother. They then took their shotguns and revolvers and hid in the edge of the cornfield which comes within 30 feet of the house. The night riders in their long white cambric masks quietly surrounded the house. Then a dozen of them with a rail and a sledge walked up on the porch and demanded that the door be opened. There was no answer and they struck it with the rail. At the sound the Conrad boys opened fire. Albert Howe and John Wiseman fell dead in their tracks, heavy loads of buckshot striking each of them in the bead. Another volley and Timberlake and Houston had fallen. Their comrades attempted to pick up the bodies, but the Conrads kept firing, and the whole gang of sixty men fled for their lives.” One thing is certain, the Conrads have frightened the white caps of Harrison county, whose strength has been heretofore in numbers, into the palsy. Good citizens are praying that the Conrads have struck the death-blow to the reign of the grim “night riders.” It is plain that the sympathy of the people in general is with the Conrads. The sheriff of Harrison county, it is thought, will make no attempt to arrest them, for, as one old farmer put it, “they have done nothing but defend themselves right smart.” Even men who are known to be themselves white caps dare not defend the action of the night riders.

MADE MAD BY FEVER.

In HU Delirium » St. LoiU Hu Attempts to Kill HU Four Lattie Ones And Cats HU Own Throat. St. Louis, Ang. 9. —John Finn, living, at 2824 Choatean avenue, attempted a quadruple murder and suicide at his residence Tuesday. Finn was formerly a motorman on the LindeU street railway. He has been confined to his house for several days with bilious fever. Early in the morning his condition became worse and his wife left the house to procure some medicine. In her absence, it is believed, Finn became delirious. He jumped from his bed and seizing a heavy flatiron attempted to dash out the brains of his two little boys. He then grasped a carving knife and horribly cut and mangled his two little daughters. The noise of the struggle and the screamingof the children had attracted the attention of neighbors to the house. They knocked on the doors and windows to gain admittance but were ordered away by Finn. When they threatened to break open the doors he went to a shelf in the bedroom and taking a razor in his right hand he drew the blade across his throat, inflicting a wound from which the blood poured in torrents. The neighbors finally succeeded in gaining an entrance to the house and a fearful sight met their gaze. The carpets, wall paper and furniture were spattered with blood and the four little children lay moaning and bleeding in different parts of the house. Surgeons and ambulances were summoned and kind hands ministered to the wounded little ones. Their injuries are as follows: John, aged 11 years, two scalp contusions, cheeks cut and nose broken; may die. Willie, aged 9, tearful gashes In left and right cheeks, lips split, all teeth knocked out and skull fractured; will die. May, aged 7, skull fractured, horribly cut on face, neck and breast; will die. Annie, aged 5, skull fractured, four scalp wounds, face and body cut and bruised; will die. The father, throat badly cut; may recover. In explanation of the fearful “Slaughter of the Innocents” the father says that while laying in bed a sunbeam falling across his bed carried a message from Heaven commanding him to kill his children and he only obeyed the will of God.

CURRENCY HOARDED.

Its Scarcity Is Due to the People Rather Than to the Banks. Washington, Aug. 9. —“lt is not the banks but the people who are withdrawing currency from circulation and hoarding it up, and the sooner they understand the disastrous consequences that will certainly result from a contiqkance of such a course the better for themselves as well as the country in general.” So said a prominent treasury official. He said he was convinced that the scarcity of small currency was due mainly to that cause. There is at least *25,000,000 more of small notes outstanding to-day than there was at the same time last year, and yet we hear that merchants are paying a premium for such notes. He continued: "One thing Is clear.” The fact that the lack of currency is in small notes is a convincing proof that it is not banks but firms and individuals who have been hoarding, and this for the most part, we believe, in small sums. The entire paper currency of the country aggregates $1,105,000,000. Of this only about 555,000,000 is in $1 and tSi bills, and of these about 5 per cent, are worn out and destroyed. There remain about *230,000,000 in fives and 1275.000,000 in tens. For-ordinary exchanges the country is limited to the 5285,000,000 in fives, twos and ones, the 566,000,000 of silver dollars, and the 564,000,000 of fractional silver. Out of 51,601,000,000 in circulation only about onefourth therefore is in shape that it can be circulated in ordinary retail transactions. The remaining three-quarters is in denominations of 510 and upwards, and half is over 520, and for all ordinary transactions a *2O bill is too large, while for most *lO is also.” Philadelphia, Aug. 9.—The scarcity of currency here is unparalleled. The rate jumped Tuesday to four dollars per SI,OOO, against two dollars Monday. A method of relief was put into operation by several employers who are paying wages in ehecks drawn in sums of five dollars each, marked “Payable through the clearing house.” These checks pass current as money and are taken in stores, being collected through the bank deposits account of the storekeeper receiving them. The plan wiil become general at the end of the week.

FOUR MEN KILLED.

St. Louis, Aug. 9.—At 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon two small buildings belonging to the Phoenix Powder company plant at Pittsburg, 111., 9 miles north of "here blew up.
