(By Leased Wlro to Tho Times.) New York, Ang. 3. A determined attempt to lynch a man who set upon and strangled a little girl, seven more attempts at llcndish outrage reported by the police, blood marks discovered on the walls of the basement in which the horribly mutilated body of Katie Tietschlcr was found these are a few developments of another day in the great crime wave which is sweeping New York and appalling the civilized world. Five hundred men and women cried for revenge on Martin Hallo, who in Brooklyn struck down and attempted to choke to dcnth lUtle Anna Kogerst of No. 758 Third street, that borough. The police prevented a lynching. The first ripner'victlm of the day was Frieda Tleubb, an 18-year-old girl, who was found strangling to death in a vacant apartment next to her home on the third floor of No. 138 Avenue I). M. Ohns, a tailor, residing at Xo. 171 Central Park, west, reported to the police that an 8-year-old girl liv ing with him had bitti treated in a heinous manner by a elevator man. A description of the Iftflid was taken, and detectives went to search for him. Eight arrests have already been made lu connection with the horrible murder of the Tictschler girl, but the officials at headquarters virtually ad mit that they are no nearer the solu tion i.i the mystery than on the day the little battered bedy was found. Assaults or at(pted assaults were rcHrtcd from aS. of the bor oughs, and, notwithstanding several arrests were made, the olicc have a tangible case against only a single man. Young Girl Strangled. " Miss Frieda Tieub, an 18-year-old girl, was found strangled and at the point of death with the rope of a "Jack the Ripper" about her neck today in tho vacant apartment next to her home on tho third floor of the house at No. 138 Avenue D. She had been attacked as she left her home, knocked senseless with one blow on the chin, dragged into the vacant rooms, and there, after the fiend had drawn tightly the rope he wrapped three times about her neck, he com pleted his attack and escaped, think ing she was dead. ' : The young woman was rescued just in time to save her life. Her brother saved her by leaping Into a window from a fire escape Whon detectives called at the house today they were shown tho terrible marks left by the murderer's slip knot and the Imprint of his powerful fingers which bad sunk Into the neck. Miss Tlcub was carried Into Rcr home and put to bed. Then she was able to tell of the attack which had been made upon her. The Girl's Story. When she first recovered conscious ness In the vacant flat the man was gone, and she struck her heels on the floor as hard and long as she could, and then her strength left her. The janitor of the building said he be lieved he could give the police a clew, as two days ago he had found a strange man, answering the descrip tion of the man who attacked Miss Tleub, hiding In the cellar, and put him out. At tho time the man said his business was to put up clothes lines, and he had asked who lived on tho third floor. Miss Tleub and her chum, Miss (Continued on Page Seven.)

Tho trucks of all the derailed cars were torn up considerably. All the woodwork of the cars In the creek was smashed Into splinters. The cause of the wreck, so far as can be ascertained, was from a sharp llange crawling up on the rail. The crosstics In the vicinity are perfectly sound and are well balasted with Etone. A representative of The Evening Times was upon the scene early after the accident occurred, and upon care ful examination, found that the cars left tho rails about 140 feet this side of the bridge, Just on the end of a long curve. A sharp indenture on the outer rail showed that a thin flange had crossed over It. Nobody was Injured. A brakeman was on a car just ahead of those ditched, but he escaped unhurt. Twenty cars and the locomotive passed over safely and proceeded on to Ooldsboro. The apparatus of the Raleigh fire department was In some cars near the engine and were un damaged. The location of today's wreck is only a short distance beyond the scene of a famous passenger train wreck of a few yearn ago. The track is torn up for about a hundred feet this side the steel railway bridge over Walnut creek. The bridge itself Is not seriously dam aged; the ties for a few feet along the western end were demolished, but tho steel work remains Intact. Tho rails at the end of the bridge are twisted Into almost Inconceivable shapes by the powerful force of the cars as they left the track. The train left Raleigh at 11:45 In charge of Conductor L. C.

Kxpcrted. (Special Cable to The Times.) Seoul, Aug. , 3,-rThe Japanc.ie have the city in good contvl today. Ma chine guns and rifle.'- discipline have proved too much for the scattered Ko rean army, which at all stages was weak and unable to cope with modern fighting methods!. The soldiers of. the Korean army, who after attacking the Japanese troops fled, are' now",: fugitives. . Some disorder still continues, but there ale no more pitched battles. The Korean soldiers fear to return to the city, for now that the protest against a disbandment of the army which the Japanese call "revolt," has been effectually settled by arms, many arrests are being made. The 'Japanese--authorities are now proceeding on the assumption that if the leaders of the rebellious Koreans are Impris oned their followers will become meek and submissive. Officials in the pal ace who are known to have sympa thised with the outbreak are banished. The feeling prevails here; however, that order cannot be maintained long and that a long term of discipline will be necessary before the Koreans 'bow before the yoke of Nippon. The em peror has appealed to Marquis Ito to prevent further outbreaks at the cap ital. He is terrorized by the occur rences of the last few days. A number of Korean officers- took their own lives after submitting to the humiliation of being stripped of their regimental insignia. Such melodrama tic action greatly stirred the soldiers, and many of them who escaped over the wall of tho city have banded to gether. Guerilla warfare may be look ed for for some time to come, but in the end the Japanese who are scour ing tho country will be easy victors. Iron handed measures are in foreo to maintain Order. The city has the ap pearance of being In a state of civil warfare, troops and artillery b'.'lng sta tioned at all points. ' . C0EY AT FUNERAL OF MISS MATTHEWS (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

The Herman people see in the meeting an expression of hearty rela tions between the two countries which are bound together by many mutual interests. , '(Special Cable to The Times.) The Hague; Aug.' 3. Some inleivst ing. rumors regarding the meeting of the flerniau and Russian emperors to day are current. One .freely .discussed Is that. .Germany ..will lend .Russia for ty millions sterling oil condition of the I'upturo-.'.of the Anglo-Russian alliance, which, according to reports: is an: ac complished fact. This accounts for the visit of the ambassador to St. Petersburg to ,on don which gave' rise to -specula! ion in parliament. Another rumor Is that tho meeting is connected with business of tile peace-'.conference, which, may prolong, tho session until lute in Sep tember. (rcy Surprises The Hague. Considerable surprise was caused by the attitude of Sir Kdward Grey in Mho British parliament, who seemed to think il necessary that a statement be. made calling attention to the fact tliat. the British delegates at The Hague have acted honorably. No one at The Hague ever charged that the '.'British delegates ever acted othorwiso than honorably and the occasion of such a speech as Sir Edward Grey's is the basis for considerable speculation. There are many who see In the situa tion u further reason for the early dis solution of the conference which the car of Russia has urged, giving as his reason a fear that trouble may bo de veloped by a session too much pro longed. .Sir Kdward Grey has not by any means played the prominent roie In this Conference as did Lord Pnunce. fote in the conference of 38117. Neither he nor his chief, Sir Henry Campbell. Bannerman has found any .national, suggestions to' be placed before the conference. The fault Is not with the British delegates. The absurd propositions, such as the abolition of contraband of war' and disarmament show the isola tion of the Knglish In believing that such Ideas come within the reach of practical consideration. Nothing that Sir Kdward can say to the British parliament will have llv effect of convincing the people that tho British delegates have been prominent in the conference. They have not beep 1 tho lenders, although lately they have been trying to niHke up for lost time.

Judge Landis 6f the United States district court today assessed a fine of $29,240,000 against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, recently convicted of violation of the anti-trust act in ac cepting rebates from the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company aggregat ing 522:1.000 during tho years 1903, I'.mii end ill or.. The court room was crowded with persons interested. District Attor ney ICdwin W. Sims; Assistants Childs and Wilkerson, appeared for the government. Chauncoy W. Mar tya appeared for the defendant. As the reading of the decision contin ued many important .matters touch ing mi. the rate legislation were taken up and settled as far as the lower courts are concerned by Judgs Landis. His decision is considered one of the most Important in recent years. '..: . 1 At the close of the readin of the decision the big surprise came when the court ordered the drawing of the grand jury to indict those con nected with the oil trust. These two railroads mentioned in the Standard Oil indictment, are the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago Terminal Transfer. The former road was indicted some time ago on a charge similar to this, being fined $10,000. After reviewing tho indictment of the Standard Oil Company of Indi ana for accepting illegal rebates from the Chicago & Alton Railroad the court delved into his long de cision. ' . , ' Blow After Blow Dealt. ' Blow after blow was thrown Into the camp of the "biggest trust on earth." Every prop was knocked from beneath it. Counsel who ap peared in court for the trust received a few jolts which they .will remem ber for many a day. The: striking declarations of fie court In his decision came from his: lips like tho reports of a repeating ride. Ho was not to be misunder stood. The court points out the Standard Oil trust of New Jersey, the "trust" as tho defendant In the case al though the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was indicted. He shows Mho; benefits of Information lie ob tained by subpoenaeing Joha D. Rockefeller,.- president of the com pany, and his following, to his court room some time ago. '' H.v discovered that It would be no burden to fine this trust, one Ihird of Its net earnings, for a year. He held that the constitution of r.bs I'nited States would not count that extortion. - It appears that the Chicago ft Alton road filed with the Interstate commerce commission a tariff show ing the rates on oil from Cbappell, lnd., to St. Louis, to be 19 Vi -.Mita per hundred, and from Whiting, lnd., to St. Louis, to be 18 cents. The evidence showed that hJ oil trust was given a rate of 0 cents and 6 cents on the two rates by the return of rebates to tho oil trust. The ChicnKO & Alton. Here ,1s how the court points Its finger at tho Chicago & Alton road: "The dealings of the terminal Hues wero exclusively' with tho Chi cago & Alton Company,' to wblch company, as the defendants testi mony; showed, It applied for the through rata from Whiting to des tination."
