Martinez Campos by hurling two dynamite bombs at that officer, was shot at Barcek na in accordance with the sentence of the court-martial be­ fore which he was tried. The prisoner refused to kneel when sentence was pronounced, but he consented to sign a copy of his sentence, at the same time exclaiming that he was signing the death warrant 11 his judges, feeling certain that his brother anarchists would avenge his death by killing those who had condemned him to die. Priests did their utmost to prevail upon the desperate man to listen to reiicious consolation and die Impendent, but Pallas sneered at the remarks of the priests, laughed at their word-pictures of the hereafter and scornfully rejected all their efforts in his behalf. • Shot a Bl; Four Fireman. • A RIOT in the Big Four yards at the ' Indianapolis shops, across the river from Indianapolis, resulted in the fatal shooting of Fireman James Pitts, of the Peoria Big Four division. Special De­ tective John Stokes did the shooting, -ojfiring into a crowd of several hundred men and boys who were jeering and throwing stones at the locomotive and single coach which were about to pull out for the city with the officers who had been. on duty during the day. General Superintendent Riley with tne men had entered the car, but Stokes lingered behind and shot. There were a few of the strikers, but many more employes in the crowd, taking no part in the riot. After the shooting Stokes darted into the car. Pitts fell with a ball to the groin. He has since died, and v /Jjreat excitement prevails in the city. • Nebraska Democratic Ticket.

HARDIN, the leader of the Centralia train robbers, has been lodged in jail at Salem, 111., where his pals are also confined. Hardin's story of the crime is as follows: "There were three of us implicated in the hold­ up--Jones, O'Dwyer and myself. The robbery was planned at 1313 Chouteau avenue, St.- Louis, over three months ago. Jones was too drunk to play his part well and our plans were thrown nto confusion." WHILE a train on the Missouri Pa­ cific Railway was approaching Rich. Hill, Mo., the engineer discovered a woman and two little children crossing a thirty-foot trestle. He sounded the whistle and applied the brakes, but was unable to stop. The woman jumped and escaped with slight bruises, The children, two girls, aged 5 and 6 years, respectively, were knocked down by the pilot and fell between the sleepers, lodging just under the rails. The en­ tire train of thirty-eight cars passed over them, but they were found un­ hurt. STEPS were taken the other night by the Executive Committee of the Chicago Board of Directors looking to the removal of the Columbian Exposi­ tion buildings and the administration of affairs after Oct. 30. The present machinery will come to an end officially the last day of this month, and not only must the buildings be removed but a new organization will probably be ef­ fected for closing up. Over two hours were spent in discussion by the com­ mittee, and then it selected five of the strengest men in the management to report a plan for winding up the affairs of the Exposition, The committee named consists of Director General Davis, President Higinbotham, Direc­ tor of Works Burnham, Solicitor Gen­ eral Edmund Walker, and Director Henry B.

TO MAiCE Bomb Thrower Pallosl death as disgraceful as possible, Barce­ lona authorities ordered him shot in the back. THEfSpanish garrison at Melilla, on the northern coast of Morocco, is be­ sieged by thousands of natives and the situation is critical. The Spanish au­ thorities recently decided to add to the strength of their fortifications at Me­ lilla, the state of the country and the acts of the natives, in their opinion, warranting such a course. The work of constructing additional fortifications was begun and pushed forward as _ rapidly as possi­ ble, This , incensed the Moors, and a force of more than 6,000 natives made an attack upon the Spanish gar­ rison, that numbered all told not more than four hundred souls. During the battle eighteen of the Spaniards were killed and thirty-five wounded, includ­ ing three officers, whose injuries are serious. The Spanish artillery did great execution. The gunners,at one time directed their fire upon a mosque and almost completely destroyed it. Other buildings in the range of their fire ware also destroyed.- A CABLE message announces that the rebel fleet at Rio de Janeiro reopened fire upon the Brazilian capital Sunday morning and that the bombardment was continued throughout the day. The same cable announces that though the foreign ministers at Rio, backed up by the commanders of foreign war vessels, have for a long time past done every­ thing possible to avert further hostili­ ties between the insurgent and government forces, and in spite of the fact that these friendly efforts have been directed continuously toward both sides in the dispute, a failure to induce the opposing factions to come to an agreement has resulted in more damage to Rio from the rebel guns and in great loss of life. The message does not give an account of the damage done by tne bombardment, nor does it state how many people were killed ashore or afloat; but it is presumed, from the fact that the rebels shelled the city all day Sunday, that the loss of life must have been considerable, and that both sides must have suffered. 4M.TV-: ft It I) % wm 1 • - t- TEXAS has perfected arrangements for filing suits to recover over 1,0C0,G0J acres of school lands under the act of 1883.

Many lives are also reported lost by the storm at Mo­ bile, Ala., and the damage will reach millions. 1 ADVICES have been received from Parangarientero, State of Michoacan, Mexico, of a horrible accident at a church Sunday. The parish church was crowded with people attending a religious festival when a rocket set fire to tha roof, and the fact being an­ nounced by the ringing of the church bell a panic seized upon the assembled multitude, who made a simultaneous break for the doors, with tho result that ten persons were killed. A TERRIFIC tornado struck New Or­ leans late the other night from the northeast. It raged all night and a portion of the day, sweeping to the south from along the line of the Mississippi River through the parish of Plaquemine to the Gulf. The storm was one of the worst which ever visited that part of the country. As far as can be learned it killed not less than twenty-four per­ sons and wounded probablv three times as many, some of them fatally, besides destroying a large amount of property at New Orleans.

There had been 123 cases and sixty-four deaths. EDISON suggests a new solution of the silver question. He proposes that the Government compress a bushel of wheat into a hard cake the size of a silver dollar and stamp it. This, he save, would represent actual value and laoor, and when the holder wants to use the wheat he could put the dollar to soak. THE pan-Ainerican bimetallic con­ vention assembled at Armory Hall in St. Louis, Mp. Ex-Congressman Nathan Frank delivered the address of wel­ come on behalf of the city. Gov. W. J. Stone, of Missouri, performed a like seryiee on behalf of the State. S. S. King, of Kansas, responded for the con­ vention, expressing thanks for the wel­ come. Turning to the question of sec­ tionalism and silver he declared, first, that this country was able to get along without the economic aid of any for­ eign nation; second, as regards silver, there was no sectionalism other than that that conceived by those endeavor­ ing to debase it, citing, as he presented this, the solid votes of the Northeast­ ern Atlantic States. As to commerce, he quoted statistics Showing that the in­ ternal commerce from the Mississippi Valley was greater than the combined foreign commerce of all the world. He, in closing, called upon the Missis­ sippi Valley, that great empire of the West, to wake up and take its place in the economics of the country. Gov. G. P.

At the Bis Show. World'B Fair correspondence: Down on the lake front during the fireworks in the evening an oldish man, with a deep fringing rim of gray whiskers under his chin and up to hfs ears, gave me a chance to sit down on the end of the bench where he was watching the display. "Every inch of room counts here. Set right down," said he. "I found Her a place back up vender. I was glad She got a chance to set down." Having thus established his trustworthy status as the head of a household the good old fellow pro­ ceeded to "visit" with me, needing very few questions to unfold his history and interests while the rockets were being prepared. "We came yesterday," he said, "so this is only our second, day. She asked me did I think it came up to the Centennial. You see I went to Philadelphia in '7(5 and saw it through; stayed a week. Well, I said the Cen­ tennial was the best. Well, of course, that needs some explana­ tion. But I maintain," and his fist came out heroically in a gesture, "I maintain that for artistic- ness of taste,for magnificence of beauty, and for the wonderfulness of the thing to a certain extent, the Centennial Ex­ position at Philadelphia in 1876 went ahead of this. You see it was this way. Of course the main building wa n't as big a3 this, but it 'peared bet­ ter. They was twenty-three acres in that, and thcy's thirty-two in this, nine acres more. But when you come into that one, there you'd see letters of liv­ ing light, shining right up there before you, and when you'd come up to 'em they'd be made of pistols. Yes, letters made of pistols, and looking like jew­ els. You don't see that in this main with a sigh of relief and the w;ords, "Well, now here come the lagoons." It was another well-meaning woman who advised a friend not to leave the Fair without taking a gondola ride "on tho galloons." "The Fairies' wheel" is the astonish­ ing name given to the big swing by a young person who must have thought it named by the law of contraries, for how could Titania and her train claim the Ferris for the fairies' wheel? The environments of the Fair have their irresistible attractions for everv- v"t»3dy, and nobody comes from a dis­ tance to Chicago without some very definite intention concerning other sights besidefe those in Jackson Park. Here is a striking example. At the door of a famous preacher's church, en a recent Sunday, a great crowd was struggling in vain for admittance, and numbers Were being turned away. One man refused to go. "I've got to get in here," he protested. "Plenty of others feel the same way," said a good-natured bystander. "Yes, but I've got to get in," said the man of determination, with the ring in hi*? voice of a great and irresistible longing that must be appeased at any cost. "I've got to get in. I made up my mind when I came to Chicago that after I had teen the Fair I couldn't and wouldn't leave town without seeing three other sights, Buf­ falo William, 'America,' and Dr. Gun- eaulus." He got in. Importance of th i I air. But, turning aside from the amusing features of the Fair, there is, as Har­ per's Weekly says, one melancholy thought irrepressibly stealing over the beholder of all this magnificence--that it will be among us in its bodily exist­ ence only so short a time.- Like a gorgeous dream of human genius it has arisen, and like a vision it will pass away. It will live, however, as a glo­ rious memory and long be spoken of by this and coming generations as one of the greatest marvels of the closing nineteeth century. Everyone who has seen it will cl emh the remembrance of what he saw as a precious treasure which no one will be willing to part with for any price, while those who now miss this great opportunity will never cease to deplore the irreparable loss caused by their 1 ADMIRING THE STATUE OF THE RKPUBLICl 16 76 @17 26 0 6 26 & 7 #0 & 4 60 & . 72 S«9 M BCTTEB- C r c a m # * . . , , > 0 3 0 Poaa-Wew » #!• » building, And when I think over things like that, I say the Centennial was the best. She says I just got the Centennial so fixed in my mina I can't seem to consider this." "How about the buildings here?" "Well, as for buildings and right down up and down beauty to look at them, why, of course, these buildings go right off and leave Philadelphia stick­ ing there." The gratuitous information people give each other in the White City is exhaustless. For instance: "Who is this picture by?" asked one woman of another in the Art Gallery, and tho an­ swer came promptly, "By Gerome. He is an author, too. He wrote that book called ' Three Men in a Boat,' to say nothing of the dog." Two Great Men. Two men stood the other morning before the Bartholdi figures near the lagoon entrance of the Art Gallery. Their eyes were glistening with admi­ ration, and one of them spoke to the other thus: "I should know it for Wash­ ington, thoueh the comb-back of his hair ain't real natural; the other is Dee Layfatte -- two great men together, greatest men ever lived in this coun­ try. " His voice took on a splendid tone of conception of historical relation, and he repeated: "Yes, sir, they were the greatest men ever lived in thia country. Talk about Cleveland! Talk about Harrison!" The lagoons still gir* Fair visitors a deal of trouble. At the illumination one evening just after some sort of water procession had passed, a number of electric launches swung into line in the grand basin from the direction of the north lagoons. And a woman who had Deen trying to define the features of the float to her companions welcomed the appearaaoe of the familiar launches Y& 'Mi i-tAU.:'. i.'

Even people of small means should not rec dl from the expense of a journey, which in these hard times they may consider an extravagance, anl they should not fail to bestow upon their children the boon of the enlightening and ennobling im­ pressions which this grand spectacle conveys, and which in all likelihood will be the only opportunity in their lives to receive and enjoy. BAD BLA^E AT OMAHA. Destruction of the Farnham Street Thea­ ter Building. The Farnham Street Theater Build­ ing, the second-best opera-house in Omaha, was totally destroyed the other evening by fire, which broke out in the rear of the fifth floor a few minutes af­ ter 5 o'clock. Four persons are re­ ported to have been killed by falling walls. The fire department responded promptly, and a general alarm was turned in, but the lire seemed to have gained complete control. In a short time the wails of the theater building began to totter and crumble, and bricks were flying in all directions. The roof fell in while several firemen were upon the second floor, and they just succeed­ ed in escaping by running down the side stairway. J. M. Gay nor. athlete and dancing master, was struck in the back by falling bricks and badly hurt. In the crowd many people were knocked down and trampled on. The building was erected in 1882 by James E. Boyd, who has since been Governor. It was then and afterward knowd as Boyd's Opera House and was one of the DPst auditoriums in tho West. A few years ago it was sold to the American Bank Building Com­ pany, which is owned bv the Ameri- • "i- < ^*4^ *' iT.'V&r can Loan and Trust Company, and was entirely refitted. It had cost origi­ nally $125,000 and is now insured for $!)0,<X)0 in about twenty-five companies. "The Waifs of New York" company was playing in the theater and had just concluded a rehearsal. The entire loss on stock and building will exceed $200,- 000, of which perhaps $155,000 is se­ cured by insurance. The origin of the fire is a mystery. It is rumored that it came from a cigarette left burning in the sawdust. ; * LIVES BLOWN OUT. " 11 " "• V "W: Terrible Tornado Ravage* New Orltlm* and the Vicinity. A terrific tornado struck New Orleans the other night from the northeast, sweeping to the south along the line of the Mississippi River through the parish of Plaquemines to the Gulf. The storm was one of the worst that ever visited that part of the country As far as can be learned it killed not less than twenty-four persons and wounded probably three times as many, some of them fatally, besides destroying a large amount of property at New Orleans. The wind reached a velocity of sixty miles an hour. The, revetment levee on Lake Pont- chartrain, which protects New Or­ leans from overflow on the rear, was washed away and the water swept over it fifteen feet or more. Many of the yachts there were sunk or injured. In the Mississippi the coal fleet was scat­ tered, the transfer boat of the Texas and Pacific Railroad badly damaged and several wharves carried away. The New Orleans and Northeastern had its track flooded for seven miles and so badly washed that it can run no trains. The track of the Louisville and Nash­ ville was almost wholly washed out for fifteen miles. Three persons were killed and one wounded severely, if not fatally, by the storm in the city of New Orleans itself. Below the * city it was far worse, especially in Plaque­ mines Parish. Here' the wind reached a velocity of between 100 and 125 miles an- hour and carried everything before it. The parish teat of justice, Pointe a la Hache, a town of 2,000 people, was the worst sufferer. In that town not a single house escaped injury. The Court House and Roman Catholic Church, the principal buildings in the town* and some twenty other buildings were destroyed. Four grown persons are known to be killed in Pointe a la Hache and several children, how many is not evactly known. In the immedi­ ate vicinity of Pointe a la Hache other deaths are reported and thirteen more in the country below. Gov. Warmoth said that this storm was the worst ex- Eerienced in Louisiana since 1811. The urricane of 1888 was not half so vio­ lent and detructive. MobUe Ha* a Cyclone. At Mobile, Ala., the wind blew the water in from the Gulf until the river reached Royal street, which is four blocks from the river and at an eleva­ tion of about fifteen feet from the main river height There is no possible chance of estimating the pecuniary damage. All the wholesale and a por­ tion of the retail district of the city was some four feet under water, ana thousands of dollars' worth of goods have been damaged. It is conceded by all to be the worst storm that has ever visited Mobile. The towers on the court-house and Christ church may fall. PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.

Washington correspondence: ^ CONGRESS iai been dull as a gar­ den hoe for several days. Nobody has- been fihting, no warwhoops have alarmed the shiv­ ering air, no blood has flown and na scalps have been t a k e n . S e n a t o r Stewart is resting from his labors* while others in the Senate appear willing to be at,: peace. But while the Senate is in­ active there app­ all sorts of opin­ io ns expressed and many rum'Ors are afloat as to what will ba the final outcome. One of these is that the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law is beaten, and this, ao 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 ill the face of these it is generally under­ stood that the most powerful influences are now arrayed in favor of compro­ mise legislation. The program, as your correspondent sees it, contemplates the passage of ft bill through the Senate. The con­ currence of the House in that bill is to be had, and then a recess taken for the period of three weeks in order that tariff legislation may ba 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 Deceufber. On reassembling in November some other legislation, probably the oankruptcv bill, is to be taken up until the tariff is ready. If the compromise financial measure be passed t>y common consent Federal elections will be permitted to lie over till the regular session. Senate and House. Saturday closed the eighth week of fruit- less debate in the Senate, and as before, ' the repeal of the t-herman law was tho subi ject of attention. But llttlo other busi­ ness. and that unimportant, came up. 'J he session of the House lasted only three hours. Mr. Sayer of Texas. Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, presented for immediate consider­ ation a bill to extend the time for the com-- pletlon of the work of the eleventh censui until June 30, 1804 The bill was passed without objection. Debate on tho 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 mitted that violenco and even fraud might have been used In the South, but as­ serted that the Anslo- Saxon race *»1 in the nature of things certain to dominate eventually In a race contest He main-, tained that President Lincoln went to his grave never dreaming of universal nepro suffrage; that not a soldier who followed th® flac of the Union and fought its battles dreamed of it durlnc the war or Immedi­ ately after. "The greatest calamity," said he, "that ever happened to a free people was the assassination of Lincolu. Had ha lived and been permitted to carry out his policy there would have been peace and prosperity in the South twenty-five years aga » The repeal bill was taken up In the Sen-i ate on Monday, and Senator Dubois com­ plained of a remark by Senator Gorman, criticising the resolution to postpone lesiis-' lation on the tariff and finance. Senator Dubois denied that the resolution was in-: troduced to obstruct the repeal bill . Sen - i ator Washburn announced th&t he had' been Informed by Senator Squires that he. would vote for unconditional repeal. This,! it is understood, is a vote gained for the repeal side.

In the Senate Wednesday the first open suggestion of a compromise on the repeal bill attracted the closest attention on both sides of the chamber. Senator Butler of South Carolina in an impassioned speech against the passage of the bill made com­ promise the salient feature. "Compro­ mise, compromise." he said, «is the solu­ tion of the struggle here." Senator Call ad­ dressed the.Senate In opposition to the bill. Without concluding his remarks, Mr. Call yielded to a motion for an executive ses­ sion.
