It was alleged that he sold machines and failed to make re­ turns. When arrested he asked per­ mission to see his wife before being taken to jail. The officer in charge consented. When Davis reached home he went directly to a bureau drawer, secured a revolver and shot himself in the breast. He cannot live. He is 36 years old, has a wife and three chil­ dren, and has always been regarded as strictly upright. Nearly Caaa«4 ft Rt«« Blot. At Fleetwood Park, Ohio, John and Albert Slaughter, white, were probably fatally stabbed, and Charles Martin and Riley Slaughter were beaten with clubs by Luther Page and Abner Owens, colored. The mother of the Slaughters was knocked down with a club by Owens. The trouble occurred over the slapping of a small white boy by a colored man, and almost caused a race riot The colored men were placed in jail for safety. Later they were secretly arraigned before Mayor Mountain at Ironton and it was ar­ ranged to take them to Portsmouth jail for safety Immediately, as the an- thorities feared trouble. There was a fair-sized crowd at the bull fight at the South Omaha street fair on the Glorious Fourth. Those who went there expecting to see blood spattered all over the arena were dis­ appointed, for not a drop was shed. The bull was as mild-mannered a beast as can be conceived. When he was first ushered into the ring he bowed gracefully to the crowd, looked around to see what it was all about and then started on the hunt for grass. He did not find any, but soon spied several men dressed in gaudy raiment who were wildly waving a section of red cloth. This did not appear to disturb his bullship to any great extent and the gayly dressed gentlemen proceeded to jab him in the side with wooden sticks. VON LEHR MEttiR. is really to resign. There is still a great deal of uncertainty concerning his successor, but it is now believed that Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland will accept the post.

As a result of lightning striking in a party of Detroit excursionists at Bois Blanchard, near Detroit, on the Fourth of July, William Sullivan was killed and Miss Edna McDonald ren­ dered unconscious. She is still in a serious condition. Another man and woman were shocked, but soon recov­ ered. In the city the Fourth of July disasters were confined to the drown­ ing of Louis Kiley while bathing and the more or less serious injuring of about fifty persons by fireworks. None of them is in a dangerous condition. As far as could be learned no deaths resulted from the use of firework' • Valoftbl* Hones Baraod. W. S. Steel, secretary of the Pitts­ burg and Allegheny Matinee Club at Pittsburg, received a telegram from Harry Darlington, the Pittsburg mil­ lionaire. who is at his summer home at Mamaroneck, N. Y., stating that fire had burned to death seven of his twelve valuable horses and almost en­ tirely destroyed a magnificent stable. The burned horses were Faust, a trot­ ter, valued at over |2,000; Shanklin and Black Raven, famous black trot­ ting team; one pair of roans with a rec­ ord of 2:28%; Rags, show horse, val­ ued at $1,500, and one carriage horse. --From Chicago Record-Herald. Mortimer Njro Is Strlekea. Mortimer Nye, ex-lieutenant govern­ or of Indiana and one of the best known public men in LaPorte. was stricken with paralysis at Union Mills just as he closed a Fourth of July ad­ dress. He lapsed into unconscious­ ness, in which condition he remained, with but little hope of recovery. Mr. Nye was born in Ohio, is 63 years of age, and within the last few weeks his name has been freely connected with the democratic nomination for gover­ nor in 1904. He served one term as lieutenant-governor, from 1892 to 1896, and is a leading Mason. MMsftere In Congo Village. "Mail advices from Boma," says the Antwerp correspondent of the London Daily Express, "bring news of the trial there of two Belgian officers ac­ cused of demanding, while in a state of intoxication, that the chief of a Congo village should compel all the women of the place to dance for their amusement, and, when he refused, killing him with their revolvers and then massacreing the women." Train Wrecked; Seven Hart. A passenger train south-bound from Oil City, Pa., on the W. N. Y. and P. branch of the Pennsylvania, ran into two cars loaded with limestone which had been left standing on the tracks two miles north of New Castle, Pa., and was wrecked. Two passengers and five trainmen sustained more or less serious injuries, and many others were' bruised. Grasshopper* Devftetfttta* Minn-->ft. Portions of the Township of Russia, Minn., near Crookston, are being de­ vastated by grasshoppers, and in some localities they are destroying large areas. A farmer from the township says his place of 160 acres seems doomed to be swept clean. Sixty acres of it, he says, are now bare and clean of all vegetation. The insects are so numerous that it is impossible to walk through the fields with one's eyes open. Millions of hoppers have settled on the sidewalks here, and walking is exceed­ ingly perilous. Even this did not seem to worry him, for the jabs were as nothing to those inflicted by the range bull-puncher when his bovine majesty was hustled into the car for transportation to the scene of the conflict. It was a holiday and neither bull nor the men in bright clothing were particularly anxious to exert themselves, and for his part the bull did not propose to do it. There was no sign of interference from the authorities; in fact, it would be dif­ ficult to see what ground they could base ft on. The bull was not injured-- eould not have been injured by any weapons the alleged bull-fighters pos­ sessed. It had been expected by some at least that a good exhibition of agili­ ty and artful dodging would be given by the men and that there would be a tinge of excitement to the affair, but It was as tame as milking the family row in the barnyard. There was icarcely enough of a disturbance to kick over the milk-stool. Chapman's Condition Favorable. For the first time since the illness of Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman commenced, Dr. William R. Schoonover, who has been constantly at his side, Sunday night expressed the belief that his patient may pull through, although the danger point is not yet passed. His attack has been brought about from overwork and mental strain. Be­ sides having charge of the congrega­ tion of the Fourth Presbyterian church, New York, his evangelistic work has increased each year. Until a few days ago he also personally superihtendended the erection of his summer home, now completed, near Winona, during the hottest weather of this season. Anxious Inquiries by telegraph are pouring into the Chap­ man home from all over the country, Mows Off Womfta's Hftad. Professor John Helnrich, professor of music at the University of Ro­ chester, created a panic in the neighborhood of Shepard and Field streets by firing an inch and a half cartridge from a breech-loading brass cannon, which is one of his treasured possessions. The cartridge bail played havoc in the neighborhood, and nearly tore off the hand of Mrs Mary Duprs, who keeps a store oa field street. Mrs. Dupre was to the hosptal in an ambulanee, and will hare her hand amputated. » ' » , A , . 4 . , . ' • - 1 rfft. I . •m? Form Large Leather Body. Delegates from all parts of the Unit­ ed States and Canada, representing more than 8,000 workingmen in all branches of the leather trade, met in the Labor lyceum, Sixth and Brown Btreets, Philadelphia, and formed the Amalgamated Leather-Workers' As­ sociation of America. This new inter­ national union will affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. Un­ der the laws of the Federation twenty- six separate unions will be compelled to join the new association. Two un­ ions in Chicago and several in Wiscon­ sin and other western cities joined the organization. Officers wer#- elected and organizers appointed. f Another Bank b CloMNr'" The Niagara bank at Buffalo has been closed by the superintendent of banking. Its failure was directly caused by the collapse of the City Na­ tional bank, whose directors were heavy borrowers at the Niagara bank. The various business interests of which Patrick Henry Griffin is the head owed $400,000 to the City National. Griffin is president of the Niagara National bank, which was carrying his business paper for $160,000. Work of Mrs. Katlon Uudoas. A jury of the most prominent busi­ ness men of Fort Scott, Kan., was just four minutes in finding to be unconsti­ tutional one of the state's new liquor laws passed as a result of Mrs. Nation's crusade. It was the inquisition law, which authorizes county attorneys to summon and examine witnesses touch­ ing their knowledge of the violation of the law. Dan F. Campbell, an attor­ ney, who was summoned, refused to testify and was arrested The jury ac­ quitted him, though he admitted the charge. S*t atS.eoo In ftftla Hold-Cp, A Great Northern passenger train was held up at Wagner, Mont., by out­ laws, who robbed all the passengers and then escaped. It is reported that M3.000 was taken from the express safe. Several volleys were exchanged between the robbers and the passen­ gers. Accounts which hare been re­ ceived eo far show that three per­ sons at least were wounded. Officers already are is pursuit of the robbers, aad a reward e< $1,000 has be«a el- Wealthy Widower of 6? Weds. John M. Westcott, reputed to be the wealthiest man at Richmond, Ind., was married to Mrs. Grace Carter of In­ dianapolis, Rev. Charles E. Bacon, of­ ficiating. Mr. Westcott is 67 years old, and has been a widower about a year. Mrs. Carter is many years his junior. He owns a magnificent home. The couple went to Mackinac Island, and after a short stay there will make a trip through the East. They will re­ turn to Richmond early in September, and after a short stay will visit Mr. Westcott's ranch in Kansas and pro­ ceed to California for the winter. Some Natal Day Disaster*. The most serious accident in con­ nection with the Fourth of July celebration of Cleveland, Ohio, was during the dedication of the new Wil- liet street viaduct. A crowd of 8,000 people had gathered when a terrible stprm broke. ' The crowd made a mad dash for safety. In the midst of the confusion one of the stakes which held an Immense balloon, which was about to be released, gave way and hit sev­ eral people. Michael Marzu and Wil­ liam Hannith were seriously injured. Several thousand dollars' worth of fire­ works were destroyed. Boys Barned to Death. Donald Nichols and Samuel Taylor, each about 5 years old, were burned to death, locked in an outbuilding at Louisiana, Mo. They had been playing, and probably set fire to a can of coal oil. The door was fastened and they were unable to escape. President Francis E. Clark at the opening of the Christian BndeaVor convention in Cincinnati urged the formation of a church trust. He point* ed out the general trend of combi­ nation in business lines and declared the church could accomplish more good if more perfectly organized and de- nominationalism could be subordinat­ ed to more substantial unity. President Clark's address pointed out in an at­ tractive way the work to be done by the Christian Endeavorers. He said: In the first place, the twentieth-cen­ tury church needs to cultivate a stren­ uous, earnest type of religion. The bat­ teries which the twentieth century-are already turning on the church of God are the marked batteries of indiffer­ ence and worldliness--not persecution and open hostility and an army that can spike these guns of indifference is the most imperative need of the church today. God saw this need and called an army of young people into exist­ ence, 3,500,000 strong. Who can bet­ ter overcome these peculiar, insidious ievils which threaten the church in this new century than a great company of meager, earnest youth each one of whom has said: 'Trusting in the Lord Jesus ^Christ for strength, I promise him that I will strive to do whatever he would like to have me do?' The days of martyrdom in Christian communities jare past. The days of undue asceti­ cism and religious austerity have for­ ever vanished, and with them have gone in many cases the strong, stern, stalwart characters that made the age Of the puritan resplendent for heroism throughout the world. The days of the rampant infidel and atheist are al- 80 in the past, as I devoutly believe. No Robert Hume could today greatly influence the thought of the world. No Voltaire or Rousseau could number his followers by millions. Robert In- gersol today is little but a memory |>f eloquent bathos and pathos. But something more inscidious, more subtle, more harmful a thousand times than persecution or blatant infidelity is the foe of the church of the twen­ tieth century. This infidelity is a Skepticism of life rather than of talk. It Is the indifference that is born of luxury and fashion." The report of Treasurer William Shaw was submitted, showing the total receipts for the year ended June 1 to )>e $11,020, expenses $10,864, leaving a balance on hand of $156. The follow­ ing were elected as general trustees: Bishop B. W. Arnett, Wilberforce, O.; Rev. W. J. Darby, Evansville, Ind.; Bishop Samuel Fallows, Chicago; Rev. City; Prof. James 1* Va.; Rev. H. F. £ M. Lowdco, J. B. Richardson, London, OttLj Rev. Cleland B. McAfee, Chicago, i. B. Capen, Boston. Treasurer tended his resignation as trus- and S. B. Capen of Boston was se- lected to succeed him. Rev. Cleland B* licAfee was elected to succeed the fota Pr- Babcock. The following of­ ficers were then re-elected by the con- *«*tion: President, Francis E. Clark, ®°*ton; treasurer, William Shaw, Bas­ te#; general secretary, John W. Baer," Boston; auditor, F. H. Kidder, Boston." A new position of field secretary was •reated and Rev. Clarence E. Efoer- man of Lancaster. Pa., was elected. DEVOTION OF COUNTESS T0L- ST01. Countess Sophia Andrerona Tolstoi, wife of the great Russian reformer and author, is a meek, mild woman, whose entire life has been spent, since her marriage, in ministering to the wants of her husband and in rearing her nu­ merous offspring. The Tolstois have had three children, and for these until th«r were ten years old the countess mm has made all the wearing apparel. She acts as secretary and critic to the count and chiefly concerns herself with the table desires of her lord and mas­ ter. Countess Tolstoi is one of the most cultured women in all Europe. When she was 17 she received a diploma from the University of Moscow. One year later she married the count after a romantic courtship, which has been reproduced word for word in that of Levin and Kitty in "Anna Karenlna." In describing the countess' devotion to him the famous sociologist says: "If I were a clarinet my wife would spend all her time polishing and burnishing the keys." F nd the Bupe Had Been Cnt. While "Professor" Smith was at­ tempting a "slide for life" at Water- town, N. Y., July 4, his apparatus broke and Henry Phillips of that city fell sixty feet to the ground. Phillips died Sunday. It has been discovered that the rope holding Phillips was cut. The officials are investigating. CHARLES GATES DAWES, WHO RESIGNED.
