ROBBERS RAID A FARMBoUSB. amuasm * .'‘/V MrwMaruhall and Daughter, Near Fullereburg, Held Up by Four Men. One-half mile west of Fullersburg, 111., on the old Chicago-Mississippi pike, lives Mr. Marshall, a widower, with his only child, a daughter. Marshall is a man of modest means and seemingly dot a shining mark for hold-up men. Just as he was closing the house on a recent night he was summoned to the door, and on opening it saw four men standing in the shadow by the porch. “Our horse has fallen and hurt himself. Can you lend us a lantern?” politely inquired one of the men. Marshall turned toward the kitchen to comply with the request, and as he did so one of the men stepped forward and dealt him a stunning blow on the base of the brain with a slungshot. Marshall was bound while still unconscious. Miss Marshall was also bound and a heavy muffler tied over her face. The house was then searched and $6 was secured, which the robbers took away with them." WRECKED ON SCOTTISH COAST. Many Vessels Caught in Terrific Gale —Heroic Rescue. A terrible storm swept over the Scotch coast at Frazerburgh, a town on the northeast coast. Three, hundred fishing craft were caught in the gale. The crew of the Diadem of Cullen, a town on Cullen bay (North Sea), was saved by the gallantry of James Brown, a discharged Dargal hero, who swam to the boat with a line. When this line had been fastened to the endangered craft the spectators who gathered on the shore dragged the Diadem through the surf and landed her safely. The schooner Pioneer, from Sunderland to Banff, with a cargo of coal, is ashore and will become a total wreck. The railroad passenger steamer Red Gauntlet has been wrecked at Piadda light, south of the Island of Arram. The passengers and crew of the vessel have been landed at Whitjing Bay.

DISEASE ATTACKS ARMY MULES. Wholesale Slaughter of Animals at Fort Leavenworth Expected. Glanders has broken out among the Government mules and horses at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., intended for service in the Philippines and there is much consternation among the army officials over the disease. Three hundred mules and horses are afflicted and eighteen mules have been shot. A wholesale slaughter Is imminent. Veterinary surgeons are at work and the animals will be inoculated with a new preparation. There is a scarcity of the kind of mules the Government wants. The loss of the horses’ would be less important than the mules. The quartermaster will immediately advertise for bids to duplicate the animals that are shot. This will delay the shipment of these animals to the Philippines. ROBBERS WIN IN CHINA Kill 250 Soldiers and Occupy All Com* manding Points. Five hundred soldiers were surrounded at Cotkon, on the West river, China, by 10,000 robbers and a desperate fight occurred, ending in a victory for the robbers, who hoisted their flags upon all commanding points and occupied the villages in the vicinity.

TWO CHILDREN DIE.

VICTIMS OF AN EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE. They Mistake a Gasoline Can for a Receptacle Containing Wine—An In* dianapolia Italian Arrested on an Old Murder Charge. Lena Metzger, 12 years old, and Rosa Falbisaner, 11 .years old, lost their lives as the result of an explosion of gasoline in the basement of the Metzger home in Chicago. Mrs. Metzger sent the girls downstairs to get some wine. They took a candle with them. Shortly after a violent explosion shook the houses in the neighborhood, and the Metzger house was seen to be on fire. An alarm was sent in, and when the firemen arrived they found the body of Lena Metzger lying in the basement, burned to a crisp. Rosa Falbisaner had escaped from the basement to the yard, where she ran in a circle, her clothes on fire, until she was caught by some neighbors and the flames smothered with a blanket. She died at the German hospital. It is supposed that the girls mistook a can of gasoline for the wine flask, and having pulled the cork put the candle too near the mouth of the can.

Giordino, whose real name is Antonio Derona, admits that he killed Sabadora Dicarlo on a plantation near New Orleans, in Placquemine parish, but insists that it was in selfdefense. He is very bitter toward his brother-in-law for informing on him, and it is possible that his friends may attempt revenge. Giordino has lived in Indianapolis for almost ten years, being a fruit vender, and has purchased the property in which he lives. CYCLONE SWEEPS TOWN AWAY. Red Bay la Wrecked and Many Hundred People Killed. Captain Dillon of the steamer Cocoa states that the town of Red Bay on the island of Andros, twenty miles southwest of Nassau, Fla., was swept away in the recent tropical hurricane and about 300 lives lost. An eye witness of the storm estimated that the loss of life on the island was fully 600. Scattered through the wreck of houses at Red Bay after the storm subsided he said there were hundreds of corpses of persons of all ages and classes. Captain Dillon says the wind blew at the rate of ninety miles an hour at Nassau, with occasional gusts which reached a velocity of 105 miles an hour.

REDS RIOT IN PARIS.

SUNDAY AFFRAY RECALLS DAYS OF THE COMMUNE. Anarchists Attack Anti-Semites and Then Fight with the Police—Many Are Wounded—Red Flag la Flaunted and Churches Are : acked. Serious riots occurred in Paris Sunday afternoon. The trouble originated in an attack made by anarchists on antiSemites. A thousand anarchists under Sebastian Faure assembled in the Place de la Republique and resisted the police who attempted to disperse them. The latter fought bravely, but were finally overpowered. A police commissary and an inspector attempted to arrest some rioters who were carrying a red flag, but they were trampled upon and beaten with bludgeons. A number of shots were fired by the mob. The inspector was mortally injured by the clubs, and the commissary was hit by a bullet, receiving a serious wound. Four other policemen were stabbed. Notwithstanding their defeat, the police made number of arrests, among their prisoners being Faure. Subsequent to the rioting in the Place de la Republiqne the mob marched to the Rue Sfc Maur, where they stormed the churches of St. Maur and St. Joseph. They entered the buildings and while some of them tore down the altars and pulpits, others seized'the sacred pictures, holy vessels, and the monstrances containing consecrated wafers, all of which were thrown into the street. The altars and pulpits furnished wood for a bonfire, and all the seized church property was burned. A similar disgraceful scene was enacted at St. Nicholas’ Church. The mob tried to burn the churches, but in this dastardly attempt they failed. While the rioters were storming St. Nicholas’ Church they were charged by police and cavalry, but they succeeded in carrying out their plan despite the efforts to disperse them.

On Saturday night a number of revolutionary socialists, angered by Guerin’s continued defiance of the Government, held a meeting and resolved to make a demonstration against the anti-Semites Sunday. Copies of the resolution were circulated by the revolutionary organ, the Journal du Peuple, the populace being called upon to move against the priests and Jesuits. It was a fine afternoon, and the demonstration attracted thousands of Sunday idlers. Soon the crowds were carried away by the harangues of the leaders, and many and frequent were the cries of “Down with Rochefort, Drumont and Guerin.” It was at this point that the police interfered, whereupon the crowd turned upon them. During the fighting that has occurred fifty police were wounded. There were fifty arrests. What promised at first to be only an ordinary street demonstration developed Into a disturbance that verged on revolution. The sacking of St. Joseph's Church was a scene recalling the days of the commune. Not a portable, inflammable or breakable article was left in the sacred building by the mob, and the destruction of the structure itself at one time seemed imminent. Oil was poured over the choir loft and the woodwork was ablaze when help came and the flames were extinguished. ’ The police, aided by the military, had all they could do to prevent even more serious trouble. Pitched battles in the streets were waged during the afternoon and late into the night. Several times it seemed that the officers were on the point of utter rout. Hundreds of persons were wounded and suspects by the score were placed under arrest.

The prefecture of police at 4 a. m. Monday gave out the following statistics of Sunday’s riots: “Three hundred and eighty persons were injured. Three hundred and sixty were taken' to the hospitals. Fifty-nine police agents wer* wounded besides Commissaries Goutier and Dolsmine. One hundred and fifty persons were arrested, of whom eighty were detained in custory. The Dreyfus court martial reconvened in Rennes Monday morning at the usual hour. Attorney Labor! was not presents His doctors considered that it would be inadvisable for him to take part in the day’s proceedings, in view of the danger of a relapse. The first witness was CoL Fabre, who deposed that he had discovered a similarity between the handwritings of the accused and that of the bordereau. He reiterated his conviction of the guilt of Dreyfus, saying: “I am sure that he wrote the bordereau.” • /

That Captain Dreyfus looked somewhat unkempt and changed in appear*
