MATTERS COMPLICATED.
Plaintiff In An Important Case Meets
With Fatal Accident.
Warsaw, Va., Aug. 1. Matters per
taining to the trial of John Lomax, col
ored, who some weeks ago committed a
brutal assault upon, the person of Miss
Sissie- Constenbader, the 13-year-old
daughter of R. O. Costenbader, at Po
tomac Mills, Westmoreland county,
have assumed a very complicated as
pect since the plaintiff ; was fatally
burned yesterday by the explosion of a
coal oil can in her hands while in the
act of making a fire in her mother's
cook stove. Her clothing was complet
ly burned from her body and her suff
erings were intense. Last night was
spent in great agony, death relieving
her this morning. The trial of Lomax
is set for next Tuesday at Montrose,
and the deceased toeing the only wit
ness to the assault, greatly compli
cates the proceedings. Fortunately,
however, Miss Constenbader identified
the prisoner at the preliminary trial
whicli was held several hours after the
assault.
GAVE HIS LIFE FOR SON.
Bennett Was Run Down a Moment
After He Saved the Boy.
Washington, N. J., Aug. - 1. James
Bennett, a miner, saved last night the
life of his ten-year-old son on a rail
road bridge near Oxford, but was him
self ground beneath the wheels of an
engine and instantly killed.
Bennett and his boy lived alone in
Oxford, the mother and two other chil
dren having died a year ago. Last even
ing they went to Pequest Furnace, and
on tneir return were crossing tne
bridge when they heard a train ap
proaching. Benentt gave the boy a push
which sent him into the shallow water
below, and at almost the same instant
the father was run over and his severed
body dropped into the stream. The boy,'
now homeless, will be cared for by the
county authorities.

PEOPLE FLEE FROM THEIR HOMES
FEARING ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE
Landslides Bury the Country Roads Around Los Alamos
Weather is Oppressive and the Sun Shines Brightly
Los Alamos, Calif, Aug. 1. Although
no earthquake shock has been felt since
last night, the people are still panic
stricken and many who have not fled
from the homes, are preparing today to
leave in case the disturbances con
tinue. Many people from Lompoc and the
outlying districts reached here today

GATES HOLDS SEPTEMBER.
He Is Said To Have 5,000,000 Bushels
' Of Contract Corn.
Chicago, Aug. 1 That corn which
was sold for September by John Cuda
hy by the million bushels, and which
at the time created so much wonder
ment, was all transferred yesterday to
Harris, Gates & Co.
It was the impression when the sell
ing was under way that it was for the
Gates party, and that the rich packer
was simply lending his good offices.
Yesterday's transfer settled the matter.
Presumably Cudahy was asked to do
this September selling because he
could put out September hedges to
much better advantage than the July
corn manipulators could have done it
themselves. -
There isnow over 5,000,000 bushels
contract corn here and Harris, Gates &
Co. probably own it all.
foot hills. A great landslide carrying
hundreds of tons of earth occurred near
the Hoover Ranch road from Lompoc
burying it fifty feet. John Drum, a
mountain farmer reports a road de
stroying landslide at Drum Canon.
The oil wells districts seem not to
have suffered. Since the beginning of
the shocks the temperature has been
oppressive and the sun, most of the
time, has been shining brightly. .
FOUND BURIED DYNAMITE.
A sad accident occurred on the Sea
board Air Line, two miles this side, of
Monroe last ilight at 8 o'clock in which
Mr. Richard Shute, a citizen of Mon
roe, was instantly killed. . .
The passenger train that left Char
lotte last night at 7:30 o'clock ran over
and horribly mangled the body of the
unfortunate man.
Mr. Shute left Monroe yesterday
afternoon, presumably intending to go
to the home of some friends, about four
miles this side of Monroe. As they live
near the railroad, Mr. Shute walked oif
the railroad instead of the dirt road.
He had gone about two miles from
Monroe when he stopped and sat down
on the end of a cross tie. It is thought
that while in a sitting position, Mr.
Shute fell asleep and the train struck
him.
The body of the unfortunate man
was taken to Monroe last night. The
head was horribly crushed and one arm
was broken in several places.
Mr. Shute was about 35 years ojd and
was unmarried. He had, for some time
been depressed and had tbeen drinking
whiskey. Yesterday afternoon he was
seen to take several drinks but he was
not under the influence of liquor to anjr
great extent when he left Monroe.
Big Price for Old Papers.
Washington, Aug. 1. The Secretary
of War is disposing of the useless doc
uments which have ben accumulating
for twenty-five years. There are tons
and tons of letters application blanks
and other papers of no further use to
the department. All this mass was of-
ierea to xne mgnest uiuuer, auu iue
bids were opened today. The large price
of $1.11 a hundred pounds was offered.
The lowest bid was 87 cents.
THIS FISH BELLOWS.
As
It Feeds Its Young the Same
Calves Get Food.
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 1. A cow
fish was caught in the nets at Young's
Ocean Pier today and is the only one
of its kind ever caught on the Jersey
coast.
The fish is 4 feet 2 inches long,
4 1-2 feet thick, and weighs more than
800 pounds. It has a fin on its back
bone and another on its belly, each
being three feet wide when out
spread. Its mouth is about four inches
in circumference. There are.no teeth.
The eyes closely resemble those of
a cow ; the fish bellows like that
animal and its young is nourished in
the same manner that the calf is fed.

Shenanadoah, Pa,, Aug. 1. Absolute
quiet prevails here. Fifteen hundred

probably beat unmercifully any militia

It was decided today to send a strik-

troops before another outbreak conies.,-
Wilkesbarre, 'Aug. 1. President
Mitchell started today to write a

The Alliance wanted to prosecute all
miners violating the laws. This Mitch

looked many violations of the law and
outrages said to have been committed
by strikers and others since the strike
began. They want Mitchell to define his
position and issue a proclamation
warning his followers tOvkeep on the
side of right and order.
In reply Mitchell will take the
ground that he has always been a
staunch defender of law and order and
his followers know It. 1
