H., of a young woman by a rejected suitor in the presence of her mother and sister, both of whom were also targets for the murderer's bullets, formed at midnight one of the most sensational tragedies ever enacted in that vicinity. The murderer was Frank Almy and his victim was Miss Christie Warden, daughter of Mr. A. A. Warden, one of Hanover's leading and most influential citizens. The assassination occurred under the shadow Of the Dartmouth College buildinzs. , Miss Warden, her mother, her sister Fan- , nie and Miss Louise Goadell were returning on foot to their home, located one mile from the village, at a late hour, when Almy jumped into the road in front of them, and seizing Miss Christie by the hand said, "I want you.'' The mother and sister attempted to defend her. Almyvflred a pistol at them, but none of the shots struck tnem. They ran for as gistance. Then Almy dragged his victim into the bushes from the road and shot her twice through the head- one shot tearing out her left eye. "When help arrived the gi?l was dead and < her boav was stripped of nearly every article 1 Of clothing. Almy had fled. Miss Warden was a mos* estimable young ; woman, about twenty-five years old, was a < graduate of the State Normal School and a ] popular teacher. < Almy was a former employe of her father, ] and his attentions to Miss Christie had been < j- i repulsed. i It was midnight before the news reached ] . the village. Sheriff Koster sent out search- j ing parties m all directions. The father of the murdered girl offered a reward of 1500 for ^ the capture of the murderer. Business in town next day was practically suspended, and a large number of armed men, among them nearly all of the Dart- ' mouth College professors, scoured the j country. Almy first went there about a year ago, J claiming that Savannah, Ga., was his home. 1 He worked at Wentworth awhile under another name, t Five Men Drowned. i While seining in the Tennessee River near i Murray, Ky., Ed Brown, Walter Strader, ; ( John "Meader, Dick Eaves and John T. t ^ Brame were drowned. The party numbered I I f eight. They tied one end of their seine, sev?nty-Sve feet long, to the bank, and stretched the netting nearly straight out into the river. Stationed at intervals near the outer end the eight men, with only shoes, hats and coats off. swam with the feine poles toward the shoiv. None of them was well acquainted with the river at that point, and they swam into a ' swift, cold current. Suddenly one was ( seized with cramps. A panic followed. 1 The seine was dragged, and Brame, Brown, i and Strader became entangled in it. c Meader and Eaves were swept under by c the current, while the other three succeeded in reaching the bank. All the men i drowned were well-known citizens near Mur- j ray. belonging to old families in tha county. z 1 a ~ ? A A cruwu woe ^auuuicu, aua ^oaiv/u ivx , drowned men began.

The grasshoppers have made their appearance in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and ery serious damage has baen done by them, crops being ruined on manv farms. The country in the vicinity of ftfiddlebush has { suffered more tlwn any other section, but the insects are appearing elsewhere, and their visits are worrying many farmers. The farms at which the greatest damage has been done in Middlebush are those of ' Stewart CarrieU, Miller Hoff, Aaron Plum- ; ley, the Mortimer Whitehead estate and { the poor-house farm. At each of these crops have been destroyed to the amount of $200 or $350 while other farms have suffered in a less dezree. At Mr. Carriell's the hoppers completely destroyed an eleven-acre crop of hay, and did ] great damage to vegetables and to standing j oats. At the poor-aouse farm the hay and J potato crops were destroyed, ana trie insects are now attacking the corn. This is the first serious trouble the farmers 01 this section have had with grasshoppers. Eleven Killed by a Train. The terrible accident that occurred en a recent morning on the line of the Manchester Ship Canal, by which a train passing lonj the railroad running near the canal fell over the embankment near Liverpool, England, killing eleven men who were working under the h ;ading and injuring manv other workmen, was aue to the fact that the ' point sir an, a boy seventeen years of age, mistook the points and turned a railroad train consisting of twenty-two wagons loaded with ballast, into a siding leading into a cutting. The train then crashed into a slight buffer at the end of the cutting and topped overjipon the men at work below the embankqifent. The bodies of the men killed were horribly mutilated. The boy pointsman ran away when he saw the accident, buc was captured later in the ? flay am we* ccargea wiu m&nsittuguuer. Caused by Excessive Rain. The temporary trestle of a new Pan i Handle Railroad bridge across Cork's Run, eight miles below Pittsburg, Peon., was washed away by a sadden flood shortly before noon the other day and three workmen drowned. The body of one was recovered and identified as that of Thomas Coleman. The two others were foreigners. About the same time aa immense landslide came down the hill below Duquesn9 Heights and fell on a Chartiers street car. The roof was crashed in but none of the passengers were injured. It had been raining nard since 11 o'clock that night and considerable damage by washouts and landslides was reported all along the lines of the railroads. Crime of a Mother. 1 Mrs. Maggie Kramer, tha young wife of J the boss of a Camdei (N. J.) brewer, and her j iix-months-old baba were found sticking in the mad near Poplar street in the Delaware T early the other morning off Philadelphia. ; Both were dead.

' A Baby's Terrible Fall. j Two-year-old ?isie Diette dropped from a third-story window in Chicago, 111., while , at play, and Alderman Haines, who wa3 , p?*. ag, rushed 'orward \o pick up her mangled body frco the flagstones. To his amazement the child, seated on the smashed rei jams of a window screen, was cooing and laughing. The little tot had carried with her the window screen, which reached the ground first and broke the force of her fall. A physician was called, and aftar examination pronounced the child to be wholly free from injury. Why the Execution Was Delayed.

Pittsburg is searching the earth for a ihort stop. Daly, of Brooklyn, is the highest-salaried catcher in the profession. Caruthers, of Brooklyn, is the heaviest batter of any of the League pitchers. ; Weaves, of the Louisville?, has more assists than any Association outfielder Dalrymple, the old-time Chicago fielder, leads the Western Association in batting. The League leader. New York, is also at the top in batting. Brooklyn is second. Stovey's batting is winning the small score games for the Boston League team. There are few men who reach first base as often in a season of Hoy, of the St. Louis. Pitcher Stagg, late of Yale, is to be physical director at Northfield University, { Chicago. The Washington Club has released Paul Hinea. He was charged with making trouble in the team. Miller, of Pittsburg, has lost more games for his team than any other one player in I tuaaffita ITmrnajt, of the New Yorks has more ( total base hits to his credit thau any other ' player in the League. I John Burdock, the well known second I basemen, is playing finely for Salem, of the r New England League. I Latham, of Cincinnati, leads the League in the number of bases stolen. Hamilton, of Philadelphia, ranks next. Three-fourths of the players of the West era Association are ex-players of the League and American Association. There are said to be seventy-eight baseball Ciubs in England and seventeen in Scotland. In Australia there are over one hundred.

"nAtrATTii nf fho T-niiiowillcvfl whr? hoan ! batting so finely this year, was the first man in the country to make 100 hits. Donovan batted safely in eighteen straight games this year, and this record was made off first-class pitcners. Although a mute, Hoy, of St. Louis makes great efforts to speak and has many peculiar odes and mutterings by which he makes himself understood. His attempts at kicking at the umpire's decisions are unique and amusing. He can now say "rotten" to the umpire when a bad strike is oalled. Latham, of the Cincinnati League, is remarkable in that he seldom is incapacitated for play. He is never troubled with glass arms, bruised hands or Charley horse, the i afflictions which most baseball flesh is heir to. One reason for this is that he is an athlete from tip to toe, and always keeps in condition. The Boston Association team have made more long hits than any other club in the country, 193 of them, including ninety-nine I doubles, sixty-nine triplets and twenty-five home runs. St. Louis has made 102 doubles and thirty-two home runs, but only twentjflve three-baggers. The Athletics rank seo| ond in home runs with twenty-six, and sec ond in three-baggers with fiffcy-sevm. rational lka.3u? BKCOkd. IlVr jrr Won. Ts*t. ct Won. Tjnnt. ct.

Convict Labor is the Cause of th( Trouble, A late dispatc'i from Xnoxville, Tenn. Bays: The crisis in the labor troubles a' Briceville, Tenn., came at about 1L o'clock, when the miners and a crowd of sympathizer.from the country surrounded the camp of the State militia, captured the troops and con victs, marched them off to the station, pul them on a train, and shipped them to Knox ville. The camp was on a little knoll in a hollo** and surrounded on all sides by mountains, At 10 o'clock that morning 2000 miners, farmers, and other natives who hare no occupation at all took possession of tbe hill: surrounding Briceville Camp. Fifteen hun dred of these were armed with rifles; tbe rest had shot guns and pistols. They came from all the mines in a radius of fifty miles. Their organization was complete, and their leaders placed them along the hillsides with military precision. The little garrison turned out and prepared for defense. It was apparent that a fight would result in a massacre. A meeting of the officers was called. Some declared that a stout resistance to the first attack would be sufficient and the mob would withdraw. Oth+Viaf if m/MtW fiiifoirtaL Thf OA a UiUUf^UV UUUV iV "UUiU wv miners called a parley, and were met bj Colonel Sevier. Thay stated that they had sufficient force to overwhelm the soldiers, but did not care to shed blood if the convicts were quietly turned over to them. This request was emphatically refused. The miners then asked Colonel Sevier if he would remove his troops and take the convicts with him. He asked what would be done to the raining companies' property, which was also under his protection. They replied that it would not be injured. He also asked if an attack would be made on the Knoxviile Iron Company's stockade, just below Briceville. If such was intended he proposed to fall back there and fight it out, regardless of consequences. The leaders replied that no attack would be made. The troops then marched out of camp, taking with them the convicts, all of their commissary supplies and baggage. They marched to Bricevllle and there were loaded in box-cars or whatever could be had, and the entire lot sent to Knoxviile. The trcops, to the nnmber of 107 all told, went to the armory of the Knoxviile Rifles. The miners made them promise not to return to Coal Creek. The convicts were taken to the jail, locked up and fed. The city is cow intensely excited. It is known that the leaders of the mob were not miners. .Eugene Merritc lea them in each instance. He is a small merchant at Briceville, but is said to be a determined man. Other leaders are known. Tbe miners have appointed a committee to say what dispatches shall be sent out The committee told the operator on duty at the key that if he did not lei them read the messages they would cut the wires. After the State troops and convicts from the Tennessee Coal Company's mines had been sent to Knoxville the miners resolved to liberate the 150 convicts at work in the mines of the Knoxville Iron Company. They marched in the afternoon to the Knoxville Iron Company's mines, two miles from Coal Creek, completely surrounded the mine! and stockades and demanded the immediate removal of the convicts. The guards r& fused, and the miners threatened to liberate them by force. The handful of guard* would do nothing against 1000 armed miners, and they put the convicts into box cars The miners became impatient at the d& lay in getting the train moved from Coa] Creek, and at five p. M. threatened to liberate i'f fKo train HiH rmfr. mora nnf. in five minutes. About five p. K. the train left Coal Creek with 150 convicts and the few remaining State troops and guurds, reaching Knoxvule at eight v. M. The trouble at Briceville commenced lasl week. About 400 armed strikers attackec the guards who had charge of fifty felons al Briceville and liberated them. Governoi Buchanan was notified and ordered two com panies from Chattanooga and one fron Knoxville to the scene. Of tjie fifty convicti taken from the guards at Bricevillej twc escaped, and the others were taken to KnoxTiJle. When the militia arrived they toot the convicts back with them and warned th< mob that they would protect them at al hazards. Governor Buchanan went to th seat of trouble and told the miners that i the convict lease system was wrong, hi was not to blame, and that the onlj resource of the men was througt the Legislature. The miners announcec that their families were starving an< that they ware compelled to driv out the convicts if it cost the lifi of every man in the valley. They said tha as soon as the militia were withdrawn thej would release every convict in the region Becoming impatient, however, at the dela; in recalling the troops they decided to tr; to overcome the troops by force of number and succeeded onlv too wall.

Texts far an aggregate of $2,695,000 has been appropriated by twenty-nine States 3 for representation at the World's Fair. The Catholics have chosen a committee tx> supervise the making of a national Catholic educational exhibit at the Exposition. Many prominent Catholics are much interested in 3 the enterprise. Twenty-pour foreign nations have now officially accepted the invitation to participate in the Exposition- Russia, Turkey, ( Denmark, Persia and Egypt are among the ^ recent acquisitions. The American Society of Wood Engrav' era, which had a splendid exhibit at the 5 Paris Exposition, ana carried off all the hon) ors in its line there, has decided to make a similar showing of its work at Chicago in 1893. . Mlyisteb Phelps has hopes of inducing Baron Krupp to exhibit some of his immense guns at the Exposition. Baron Krupp hesitates, for, he says, it will cost him $250,000 to make an exhibit creditable to his estab1 lishment. i The lumbermen of Washington have promised to contribute all the material > necessary for the construction of the buildi ing of that State at the Exposition, and the Northern Pacific has agreed to transport the t exhibit free of charge.

In' stead of making a special collection, a3 was done for the New Orleans, Philadelphia and Paris expositions, there 'is a strong probal bility that the State will send the magnificent collections belonging to the State Mining Bureau Museum. i Canada has received, through the medium of Great Britain, an invitation to make an exhibit at the Exposition, and there is no donbt that it will do so. A deputation of Ontario members of Parliament has asked the Dominion Government to assist Ontario producers and manufacturers in making an exhibit at the Chicago World's Fair. Favorable consideration was promised. The Kansas World's Fair managers offered prizes of $10 each for the best samples of wheat, oats, rye and other grains and grasses, to be put in bundles eight inches in i diameter; each contestant furnishing two bundles. Half of the samples received will be entered for premiums at the Exposition i and the others be used in decorating the i Kansas State building at the Fair. Models in papier mache representing the 1 fur seal and walrus fisheries on the coast of Alaska are being prepared by the Smith1 sonian Institution at'Washington for the World's Fair.

H. C.

Thzbx is a possibility that the visitor to Ihe Exposition may see the celebrated Spitzer art collection, the most comprehensive collection of European art in the world, 1 and valued at above $4,000, COO. M. Spitzer, of Paris, is dead, and the magnificent collection is for sale. It is the hope of artists all ' over the world that this treasure may be [ kept together, and all are looking to America for thepurchaser. The bringing of the collection to the Exposition must be the ' work of private enterprise, and it is possible i to affect this, it is claimed, if the owners can be insured from loss. This collection Ini eludes everything known in art during the l middle agee. Tulabs, California, proposes to furnish a I vnrv nnvnl exhibit for the Fair. From a 1 gigantic redwood tree, 390 feet high, and I twenty-six feet la diameter, will be cut tiro lengths forty-five feet long, and these will be 1 transformed into full-sized railway coaches by hollowing out the interior. The rough > bark of the tree will be left on the roof, and ' on the sides and ends the natural wood will 1 be left unpolished. The interior will be fin9 ished after the style of Pullman cars. One will be a buffet dining car, with bath, bar? bor-3hop and kitchen, and the other a sleep* 1 er, with observation room. Ordinary car a trucks will be put underneath, and the men 1 of Tulare, with their wives and children, ;J will make the trip to Chicago in these strange coaches and live in them while there. The intention is to keep these cars in the Ex' position grounds, and to sell as mementoes 1 the portions of the tree cut away in their construction. \ FIFTY AGAINST AN AEMY.

A wind-storm of terrific violence swept over Superior, Wis., carrying death and destruction in its path. The wind was accompanied by ponring rain. The air was heavily charged with electricity. The storm lasted only about thirty minutes, but during that period many thousand dollars of damage was done, besides the taking of at least five lives and the visiting of terrible injuries upon many persons. The storm gathered In the northwest and almost at the same moment the rain began falling the wind changed from the northwest and blew with terrific force from the storm's quarter. The air was filled with flying debris. At the corner of Tower avenue was a small wooden structure, which was the first building struck and was utterly demolished. Three blocks east of this point was a large three-atoiy frame building In course of construction. Carpenters, painters, and plasterers were at work to the number of twenty-five. When the storm came up. Head Careenter Gra&i called to his men to get out of the building, and twolva of them jumped from windows. At the same moment a number of passers-bj ran into the structure to escape the storm. As they entered the building, without an instant's tremor or warning it collapsed, burying 17 men. The structure did not more a foot from its foundation. It simply flattened out as though by a terrible blow from above. Three tinners on the roof remained where they were and escaped serious injury, though the fall was thirty-eight feet. Hundreds saw the catastrophe, and the worK of rescue began at once. The ruins stood six feet above ground and the roof seemed to cover the whole, greatly retarding the work of rescue. It was an hour before the first body was recovered. Wivesandchildren of theburied men tore frantically at the broken timbers in vain effort to find their loved ones beneath, and police had to carry many women away by force before the Fire Department could work. At 5 o'clock the body of Herman Roussey was found in a sitting position, bent nearly doable. John Law was found on his back with four timbers lying across him. Scofleld was found on the third floor still alive. He died as soon as the weight was lifted from his body. It was found that his back wa3 broken. It was over an hour before another body was found.
