and Murder the Sheriff.
The town of Clarksville. Johnson
county, Ark., is greatly excited over a
Ixdd and successful Lank robbery
which occurred early Wednesday when
the vault of the-Bank of Clarksville
was dynamited and looted by five or
six men. Sheriff John II. Powers was
shot and killed by the- robliers while
attempting to frustrate their designs.
The exact amount secured by the rob
bers is not known, but it is supposed
to l»e between $1,000 and $2,000.
Sheriff Powers who roomed in a build-
i,ng adjoining that of the bank was
awakened shortly liefore 3 o'clock by
a terrific explosion in the bank. Seiz
ing a pistol in each hand he rushed to
the bank. Tin* robbers, who numliered
five or six. were evidently prepared for
him, as they opened lire the moment
In atpm!. The n'lieiT was w ain.li d ■#*

dozen bullets at the robbers. The
wounded Sheriff managed lo get-lia-’k
to his room where he died ‘wit liin 20
minutes. When hastily .aroused citi
zens began arriving at the scene. l*ow-
ers was dead and the r< hliers hail van

rived. the chair declared a recess and
the house attended a joint session in
the senate chamlier to ratify acts.
When the house resumed exercises,
Mr. Izlar had Jhe floor. With much
directness he declared that he did not
know J hat lie was to be the Lamoon
to drive- the spear into the vitalsof
the Trojan horse. He thought his
resolution would merely he forward

found that the conscientious scruples

he had practically made up his mind
on two important points involved in
the appeal of Admiral W. S. Schley.
It is stated that the President has
been convinced that Admiral Schjey
was actually and technically in comr
mand of the American fleet during tlte
battle of Santiago, and that, while lie
may not have exercised his authority
to the fullest extent, lie was in supreme
command so, long as tlie flagship
New York was beyondsignaldistance.
It is further alleged that thcJ’resi-
dentwjll hold that the criticised acts
of Adrntral Schley, prior to July 1,
1898, fifeem to have Been condoned by
the Navy Department until after
credit was given him by the public
for the victory of July 3. Secretary
Long and Capt. Lemly are underet/Kid
to have received tl»e Information with
considerable surprise.
At least nine men were killed and
as many more injured In a fire which
broke out Wednesday In the Are story
stone and brick building located at
No. 314 Chesfnut Street, St. Loula,
Mo., <K*cupled by the American Tent
and Awning company. The building
suddenly collapsed and although the
nine men who were caught In the
crash had not been reached by their
hard working companions, two boura
later, fl is alrmat almolutely certain
that U»ey have succumbed.

A Mine Kxplosion.
The latest information from the
Hondo, Mexico, mine explosion, shows
it to have been fully as serious as at
first reported. There was a total of
105 miners at work In the mine when
the eqplosion occurred and all of them
are dead. The majority of the
victims are Mexicans and Chinamen,
very few Americans being at work In
the mine. Every mule in the mine
was killed, three dead ones being
taken from the debris. The work of
clearing away the wreck in order to
get to the bodies is being rushed as
rapidly as possible, but there Is no
hope that any of the 105 men will be
rescued alive.

A Salary Grab.
After a brief discussion the Senate
passed by a vote of 39 to 21 the Mil
providing for a 25 per cent increase In
the salaries of United States Judges.
All amendments were voted down,
Including one to increase the salaries
of Cabinet officers from eight tbouMnd
dollars to twelve thousand, five hun
dred dollars a year. Senator Bailey,

Senate in opposition to to this Mil.
He believed that the present salaries
of Senators and Representatives ware
sufficient.
