The Masonic burial _ was in progress and the first [hdfuls of clay were being thrown e coffin as the officer touched n on the shoulder and showed him the° warrant. The arrested man was permitted to remain with the offi­ cer at his side until the burial was over. The trouble originated two years ago in a political quarrel, during which Nelson struck James Porter in the eye, causing the loss of that organ. He left the State at the time.

Five persons were injured, one probably fatally. A stiff breeze aided the flames. Lack of water impeded the fire department early in the day, and the fire gained such head­ way that the department was powerless to check it. Many casualties were re­ ported at first. It was rumored that five persons had been killed by the falling walls of the Commercial Bank Building, but investigation showed this to be groundless. There were many narrow escapes. In the Seven- story building occupied by Townsend & Wyatt over one hundred persons were at work when the flames were discovered. They spread with such rapidity that the escape of many was cut off, and they were forced to wait for help from the department. The fire is the most disastrous that ever visited St. Joeeph. Two CRAZED Chinamen ran amuck in a crowd at Chicago Tuesday even­ ing 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 laun­ dry at No. 500 Jefferson street, con­ ducted 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 the Chinaman st.iuck him in the back. He ran yelling ipto the street and a crowd gathered about. The Chinaman turned on the crowd striking right and left with the hatchet. The people scat­ tered and then turning on the Chinaman 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 per­ sons about the place. As they gathered near thp door John Sam, another Chinamaftilh the place, ran out and drawing a long-blnded, two-edged knife ran into the crowd, cutting and slash ing everybody in reach.

THE railroads played the. hog com­ pletely in the early stages of the World's Fair, thinking people would go anyway. Later they made slight reductions, and travel inci-eased. Still further reductions 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 rail­ roads 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 hancT over fist ever since. They now see the seriousne99 of the mis­ take they made in the begin­ ning. They fancy that by mak­ ing a specious plea to the stock­ holders they can secure an extension of the Fair. Well, they oan do no 6uch thing. The Fair will be closed Oct. 32. When cold weather comes on there is not a building on the ground that will be habitable, and what few people might be attracted by low rail­ road rates would be disappointed, even if the impossibility would DQ performed of retaining exhibits and exhibitors after the pericd irrevocably get for their departure."

Joy reins unconfined in railroad circles at St. Joseph, Mo., over the clever ruse of the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs Railroad of­ ficials, which resulted in the death of two and capture of three express train robbers a mile and a half from that city. Information came to the officials late kit night that train No. 3 would be held tip near Francis, a village in the midst of a desolate waste. Action was im­ mediately taken and a dummy train ex­ actly like No. 3 was made up. The thief of police and sixteen officers were put aboard and the train pulled out. (When two miles out the engineer saw a lantern signalling the train to stop. He immediately slowed up and when the train was brought to a stand­ still a masked man jumped aboard the engine and held revolvers at the heads* of the engineer and fireman. Five others ran to the express car and de­ manded admittance. The door was opened and, two guarding without, three of the bandits jumped into tho car with revolvers drawn. When fair«\ ly within the police stepped out of concealment and called upon the robbers to surrender. They were taken by $urnrise but opened fire. A fusillade of shots was exchanged and when the timoke cleared away Ed Kohler and Higo Indall were lying dead upon the floor of the car. Fredericks, Hersh, and Harvey were placed under arrest and a posse started in pursuit of the robber who was in the engine. Not an officer was hurt, and the train (returned at once to the, city, where the Ithree prisoners were locked up and the jtwo dead men taken to the undertak­ er's. It was the most successful rout the officers have ever given a band of rob­ bers, and there is great rejoicing over the result. All of the train robbers lived in St. Joseph. . ."M. SHOT THE ROBBER DEAQI Masked Wen Attempt to Bob the Valpb* rmisti, Ind., Normal School. The sensational attempt at robbery at the banking department of the 'Northern Indiana Normal School a£ Valparaiso by two masked men, which resulted in the killing of Frank Robin­ son, one of the robbers, and the wound­ ing of his companion. Claire Moody, as ihe gavo his name, is still the main |topie of talk in the vicinity. It was one of the boldest acts ever attempted in the northern part of the State, and *vas in a place surrounded by hundreds of boarding houses, where over 2.500 Btudents were within a stone's throw. Two masked men armed to the teeth came into the banking office of the college shortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The only occupants of the room were the Secretary, Miss Kate Cor boy, and her assistant, Miss Emma Jones. The women, although covered by the robbers' revolvers, screamed and fled. One of the men fired point blank at Miss Jones, the bullet missing the girl by only a few inches. Realis­ ing that their plans were frustrated and •that any efforts to force the huge safe (would now be useless, with the alarm given, the two desperadoes walked coolly out of the office and down the steps, revolvers in either hand. They were confronted by Mail Carrier Ar­ nold, whom they covered with theif weapons. Unabashed the latter began to yell fire ill a stentorian voice, while students poured out of the college buildings and the big boarding houses and dormitories, which cluster all about. At the first shout the burglars wheeled without firing and ran to the fence, which they leaped. They ran weeks ago and again registered from Cincinnati. Claire arrived a few days ago and inquired for Frank, and is now believed to be his brother. In an interview Claire said they expected to get about $30,000, as they supposed Brown & Kinney kept all their monev in the safe. Howe, who brought the robbers down, was released on bail and is the hero of the city. His entire load of peaches were sold on the streets and over $1,000 was realized. BANKS THAT HAVE SUSPENDED.

Thero had been a review of all the troops in the district early in the morning. Shortly before noon tho captain general and his staff took their places on one side of the large square near the middle of the city and the march past began. The head of the column had hardly passed the captain general when a bomb was thrown from the crowd. It 6truck among the staff officers and exploded almost directly under the captain general's horse. The captain general was thrown to the ground and his horse, with its legs shattered, rolled over be­ side him. 'General Castellvi, chief of staff, also fell wounded from his horse. A soldier of the civic guard was killed instantly, and five others were injured so severely by piedes of shell that they probably will die. The name of the anarchist who threw the bomb is Pal­ las. He glories in his deed. He says he intended to kill Martinez de Campos and his whole staff. He will be court- martialed at once.

Fragments of woodwork, coats and other wreckage have floated ashore in the Gulf of Finland, showing that the Russian war ship Pousalka, with ten officers and 150 seamen, has foundered, and that ail hands uro xost. She sailed from Revel, in the Gulf of Finland, for Helingsport, in tl|3 same gulf, and has not been heard from since. The Pousalka had four and one-half inches of armor, car­ ried four nine-inch guns, was of 2,000 tons displacement, nad 786 indi­ cated horse-power, and was classed as having a speed of twenty-eight knots. She was built in 1867. The bodv of a sailor who is supposed to have belonged to the crew has been washet^ ashore in the Gulf of Finland. It is known that ales swept over those waters gales swept soon after she left port. There is no doubt, as the admiralty states, that the Pousalka has foundered. ~ -i Statement of the Pension OStoel̂ -?., The weekly statement of the Pension Office shows that the total number of claims now pending is 700,279, divided as follows: Act of June 27, 1890, 141,- 45J; Indian wars, 4,047; old wars, 3,922; service since March 1, 1861, 205,006; additional to prior applications. 123,- 864; increased and accrued widows, 7,057; increased claims, 214,220; •" r. • K mi* 703.

S e n a t o r Stewart is resting^, from , his labors, while others in iuv CDuabu aj/pcai willing to be at peace. But while the Senate is in­ active there are all sorts of opin- ionj expressed and many rumors are afloat as to what will be the final outcome. One of these is that the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law is beaten, and this, ac­ cording to the opinion of many, beyond •a doubt. It is likely that a vote will • be taken soon, within a week or so at" least, but it will be on the passage of a compromise measure. Strong denials are advanced in some quarters that a compromise has been agreed on, but in the face of these it is generally under­ stood that the most poworful influences are now arrayed in favor of compro­ mise legislation. The program, as your correspondent sees it, contemplates , the passage of a bill through the Senate. The con- CUfftsiicB of ihe House in that bill is to be had, and then a recess taken for the i period of three weeks in order that " tariff legislation may bs formulated. The Ways and Means Committee has its bill much further under way than is publicly admitted. If a three weeks' recess be given it is believed the House itself can be at work On the tariff bill early in December. On reassembling in November some other legislation, probably the bankruptcv bill, is to be taken up until the tariff is ready. If the compromise financial measure be passed by common consent Federal elections will be permitted to lie over till the regular session. • • ,' - • Routine Proceedings. When the Senate met Tuesday monrtug there was.no quorum, and a stay of pro­ ceedings was necessary until members strolled In one by one to a sufficient num­ ber. Mr. Stewart then presented resolu­ tions adopted at a mass-meeting held In Cleveland, Ohio, favorinsr an investigation to ascertain whether Senators are inter­ ested in national banks, railroads, and other special Interests favored or fostered by legislation. The repeal bill was then taken up. Mr. Stewart, who was nized, said he would yield to Mr Dubois, who had given notice of an intention to speak, and Mr. Dubois In turn yleldod to Mr. Perkins, of California. After some un­ important routine business the House pro­ ceeded to the consideration of the federal election law repeal bill The Senate quarreled nearly all day- Wednesday over tbe Dubois resolution to postpone action, until January, upon finan­ cial, tariff, and federal election matter* Senators Dubois. Mitchell, Chandler, Hoar, Peffer. Butler. Woleott. Gorman. Teller, and Pasco were mixed up In it. and beyond the exhibtlon of some rather warm feeling, nothing of importance was accomplished. The storm center shifted from the Senate to the House, Thursday. The federal elec­ tions bill was the bone of contention. Mr. Fithlan. of Illinois, called Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, a liar, and proceeded to prove It when the Speaker quelled the t«- mult by declaring both gentlemen out of or­ der. BeyonJ this nothing of importance was done, though Representatives Johnson, Breckinridge and Black joined In a debate that was decidedly acrimonious. The day in the Senate waa as calm as the proverb­ ial mill pond. The repeal of the Sherman law was the subject of debate. A number of appointments were confirmed, and the body adjourned. In the Senate, Friday. Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented a petition signed, he said, by IW manufacturers of Philadel­ phia, in favor of legislation 10 preserve the protective character of the tarifT and the integrity of silver as a money metal. The petition favors the admission of American silver bullion to coinage upon tbe payment by the owner of a seigniorage absorbing three-fourths of the difference between the London price of bullion and its value when coined. It vas printed as a document. The repeal bill was then taken up. and Mr. Harris of Tennessee addressed the Senate. He favored the coinage of the entire Amer­ ican product of silver, at any ratio to be agreed upon, saying that that of 16 to 1 would be satisfactory. Tbe debate on the Tucker bill being resumed In the House, Mr. La coy of Iowa took tbe floor In oppo­ sition to the repeal of election laws, and laid great stress on the arguments in favor of the constliutlnnallty of these laws Mr. De Armond of Missouri followed in sup­ port of the repeal. Saturday closed the eighth week of fruit­ less debate In the Senate, and as before, the repeal of tbe shorman law was the sub­ ject of attention. But little other busi­ ness. and that unimportant, came up. The session of the House iasted only three hours. Mr. Sayer of Texas. Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, presented for immediate consider­ ation a bill to extend the time fqr the com­ pletion of the work of the eleventh census until Juno 30, 1604 The bill was passed without objection. Debate on the bill to repeal the national election laws was then resumed. The feature of the de­ bate was the speech of Representative Patterson of Tennessee He ad-, mltted that violence and even fraud might have been used In the South, but as­ serted that the Anglo-Saxon race was In the nature of things certain to dominate eventually in a race contest.
