WALKERTOH !NDE«K), WALKERTON, . . . INDIANA THE HEATHEN RAGED TWO MURDEROUS CHINESE LAUNDRYMEN. Railroad i Now See Their Blunder, but Ton Late—Heavy Embezzlement rom the Old Colony—Poker Game at the Christian Endeavor Hotel. “John" Runs Amuck. Two crazed Chinamen ran amuck In a crowd at Chicago Tuesday evening- and wounded five men. one of them mortally. The Chinamen, John Sam and King Ling,are locked up. The row was precipitated by a remark by Israel Weinberg. He went into the laundry at No. 500 Jefferson street, conducted by the Chinamen, and called for his linen. It was not ready and he criticised the delay. Immediately King Ling grabbed a hatchet and made for him. As Weinberg went out the door 1 lianran stauck him in the back. He ian yelling into the street and a crowd gathered about. The Chinaman turned on the crowd striking right and left with the hatchet. The people scattered and then tu - ning on the ( hinaman sent a volley of stones at him. He retreated to his laundry and breaking the glass out of the windows threw it at the crowd of men and boys. The tumult raised drew a crowd of 500 persons about the place. As they gathered near the door John Sam. another < 'hinaman in the place, ran out and drawing a long-bladed, two-edged knife ran into the crowd, cutting and slashing everybody in reach. Sharp Scheme of the Roads. The railroads played the hog completely in the early stages of the World's Fair, thinking people would go anyway. Later they made slight reductions, and travel increased. Still further i eductions resulted in still heavier traffic, and now they are breaking their necks in an attempt to gain a longer time in .which to reap their harvest. They ‘are about to take steps to. offer still further reductions for the first two weeks in November. This is to be done on the hypothesis that the Fair will remain open for that period. A World’s Fair director, who did not wish to be named, said: “The railroads acted in the beginning the policy of the dog in the manger to a discouraging perfection. Some weeks ago they concluded to try the policy of decency, and they have been making money hand over fist ever since. They now see the seriousness of the mistake they made in the beginning. They fancy that by making a specious plea to the stockholders they can secure an extension of the Fair. Well, they can do no such thing. The Fair will be closed Oct. 31. When cold weather comeson there is not a building on the ground that will I e habitable, and what few people might be attracted by low railroad rates would be disappointed, even if the impossibility would be performed of retaining exhibits and exhibitors after the peried irrevocably set for their departure.” Crane in a New Flay. There is much to commend in “Brother John.” Martha Morton's comedy, which William H. (’rane is presenting for the first time in Chicago at McVicker's Theater. The language of the play is excellent, and Mr. ('rane appears with peculiar advan tag in the role of John Hackett, hat manufacturer of Bethel, Conn. The last act discloses- some exquisite comedy scenes, and ends, of course, with everybody mated and happy, not excepting Brother John. Mr. Crane is excellently sup ported by Joseph Wheelock, Jr., as Bobby Hackett. Mrs. Augu t.i Foster as Beck Hackett. Miss Annie O'Neil as Sophie Hackett, Miss Marie Dantes as Mrs. Van Sprague, and Miss Amy Busby as the latter's daughter. Helen. The hearty way in which star and play were received indicates that “Brother John” is in for a successful engagement. McVicker's Theater is known far and near, and this popular place of amusement is enjoying He largest run of any theater in Chicag >. The “Standing room only” sign has been displayed nightly during the summer. Steals 8100,000 from Old Colony Road.

The day was a round of parades, drills. band music and a reception, ending at night with a magnificent display of fireworks. The State building was the Mecca for 10,000 loyal residents of America's own corn producing empire, and great as the host was. it was but the advance ■ guard of the incoming throng Thursday. At San Francisco, six men were blown up with dynamite early Sunday morning on the water front. Two were killed outright, three died in the city receiving hospital after a few hours of agony horrible to witness, and the sixth still lives, with the ■ prospect of ultimate recovery, but lie will be only a shattered and ‘ broken wreck of a man. The explosion was the result of a deliberate and diabolical crime, meant to do far deadlier work than the snuffing out of five lives. It is charged directly to the Coast Seaman’s Union, a strong and lawless organization that has ruled

The scene of the explosion was in front of John ( urtin's sailors’ boarding-house. 334 Main street, near Harrison, a wooden twostory structure. The Curtin house has for years been known as a non-union or “scab” sailor-' boarding-house, and attacks of more or less brutality have from time to time been made by union sailors both upon John Cu''tin and the men he housed. The Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs Railroad foiled an attempt to rob one of its passenger trains, killed ’ two of the bandits and captured three ' others at Francis, one and a half

miles from St. Joseph. Mo. The officials of the road had been notified that the robbery of the road had been planned and they notified the police. When the train arrived in St. Joe a dummy train was made up and sixteen police officers, under command of the chief of police, were put aboard. In order to thoroughly deceive the robbers the train was made an exact duplicate of the regular train, and consisted of an engine and tender, an exnre-s and baggage car, and the usual cc ach and Pullmans. When the dummy reached a point two miles north of St. Joseph the engineers attention was arrested by a lighted lantern moving to and fro between the rails. He

obeyed the signal, and six masked men surrounded the engine. <>n e o f the six mounted the engine, and, presenting one revolver at the engineer's head and anot her at the fireman's, held them in subjection while the other five men hastened to rob the express car. They ordered the messenger to open the door, which he did forthwith. Prof. S. A. King and Miss Josie Morris, an lowa farmer’s daughter, went up in a balloon Friday at Jackson Park. After a perilous voyage they were picked up in Lake Michigan, three miles off shore, north of Grosse Point and opposite the little town of Willmette, by the United States revenue cutter' Andy Johnson. They traveled through the air a distance of fifty miles, and for fifteen miles the basket of the balloon dragged through the waves. The balk on shot up as if it had been fired from a huge cannon in an almost perpendicular line to the height of a mile. Then it moved in a wide circle over the citv. got around to a point west of the Exposition grounds, where it seamed to stop and hover for a minute, or two, when it suddenly started in/jjeasterly direction.

The second section of train No. 55 on the Wabash Road met with a fearful accident near Kingsbury. Ind., at an eariy hour Friday morning. Twelve passengers were killed and over a score injured. The train left Detroit at 9:30 o’clock at night, and was due in Chicago at 7:15 o'clock in the morning. | The first sec:ion of the train went I through Kingsbury at a terrific rate of speed. A freight train was standing on a side track, and as the first section flew by the brakeman of the height opened the switch and signaled his engineer to come ahead. The freight started up and had just straightened out on the main track when the second section came j dashing along at the rate of fifty miles • an hour. There was a terrible crash and many lay dead, while others mangled and maimed writhed and shrieked in agony. The people living in the vicinity of the wreck threw open their homes to the passengers of the ill-fated train and nearly every house was soon transformed into a hospital. Relief trains were tent from Chicago and other points bearing surgeons and other aid. Some cf the liodies were crushed beyond all recognition, and the only means of indentification was by the clothing and contents of the pockets. Mi st of the injured were lying beneath th bodies of the dead, and the latter had to I e carried out first.

The State of Kentucky has been worsted in its litigation with prison la- ' bur c mtraetors, and even brought out in debt to the amount of $12,324. One other result of the contest is that for several months 1..T0 convicts havebeen idle. United states Senator Irby made a spectacle of himself while drunk at Columbia, S. C.. by driving thiough the streets with both feet I thrust through the windows of a hack. ' and threatening the driver with a pistol. Three survivors of the crew of seven of the schooners Windermere, which was capsized by a squall off Mobile, have arrived at Boston. The men spent nine days on the keel of the overturned vessel without food or water except two small sea birds, which were eaten raw. and what rain water they could squeeze out of their clothes after a shower. The negro Tom Smith, who was re- ' moved from jail at Roanoke. Va.. in order to secure his safety from the mob which attacked the jail for the pur- j pose of lynching him, was found where the authorities tried to secrete him early- in the morning and lynched. His ■ body was afterward taken to the river i bank in the western part of the city | i and burned in the presence of an iii- i furiated mob over one thousand men. Governor Hogg, of Texas, does not ! intend to accept the Attorney General's opinion that the Penitentiary Beard i has no power to purchase land to farm ! convicts on out of peimanent school funds.

Wednesday morning at Roanoke, i Va.. a negro named Robert Smith sue-: ceeded by a foi ged order for grapes in i enticing Mrs. Henry Bishop, a white i farmer s wife, to an unfiequented part ; of the city, where he robbed her, 1 beat her to insensibility, and assaulted her. He left her for dead, but she recovered and gave the alarm. The news spread like wildfire. and it was only by shrewd work and a desperate light that Smith was safely lodged in prison. During the i day a large crowd gathered intent l upon a lynching, and the Sheriff i summoned the Jeff Davis Rifles i of Salem to the jail. At night ; a mob of fully 5,600 surrounded ’ the jail, and stormed it. The i officers in charge maintained the defense as long as they could, when the military were ordered to fire. At the : first volley nine men fell dead, many were wounded, and several officers weie hurt by a return fire. But the mob retreated. mad with rage, and further trouble is inevitab'e. WASHINGTON.

OWING to a difference in signing his name, a new indictment had to be made out against Colmel Ainsworth, the office:- in charge of the War Department Bureau at the time of the Ford Theater wreck. AN indefinite rumor is circulating in Washington that the Philadelphia mint people have discovered another shortage in a vault supposed to contain $50,000,000 of either gold or silver. Superintendent Bcsby s rell denies the report. The House Committee on Rules decided that the Tucker bill to repeal the Federal election laws should be taken up for consideration, and that the vote on the passage of the bill and pending amendments should be taken after twelve days had been allowed for debate. This order was agreed upon by the majority of the memliers. FOREIGN.
