Conxellsville, Pa., June 14. An at
tempt was made to hold up the New
York and Philadelphia express on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad between

Welcomed at the Capital.
Caracas, Jane 14. President Palacio
is a fugitive. Since the recent fierce
three days' fight in the vicinity of
Valencia he seems to have realized that
his cause was virtually lost. His scouts
informed him of the utter rout of the
government troops in that battle and
the advance of the main body of the
rebels toward Caracas under command
of General Crespo. At the same time he
heard of tiie.praeeace of a large force of
insurgents south of this city. He made
a feint of going out to meet the revolu
tionists and really did send
2,000 and 3,000 men to the front. Aa
soon as his soldiers left the city by one
or wreck the train, then board it, rob
the mail and express cars. The train
carried $16,000. The railroad officials
in some way got word that the attempt
ed robbery was to be made.
A telegram was sent to Robert Shep-
para, tne -Baltimore ana umo detective
here. He went to TJniontown and from
there a special train took Sheppard,
anenu mcuormicK ana a posse to .bay-
ton Station. There they boarded the
express and rode through to Cumber
land.
Had not the robbers gained informa
tion tnat tne omcials were on the look
out for them, it is likely that a big lianl
would have been made. The railroad
people admit that they expected the rob
bery, but refused any information,

wnere o special tram was in
waiting for him. The train reached
the port of La Guayra in safe
ty and the fugitive dictator
at once went on a vessel that was held
there to receive him. He had not long
before taken the precaution to send his
family out of the country and had also
transferred the bulk of his wealth
abroad. When the news of his flight
leaked out in this city it was followed
by wild scenes of excitement. The cit
izens in sympathy with the revoluton
are arming themselves and cheering for
General Crespo. Palacio's desertion has
more than ever disheartened his sup
porters. It looks as if the revolution
ists would be welcomed into the capital
instead of having to fight their way
through. As soon as Crespo and hia
men appear in the outskirts it is likely
that the government officers, tired of
the hopeless struggle, will hasten to
surrender and sue for mercy.
THEIR CONDITION PITIFUL
Inhuman Treatment of Siberian Lepers.
Driven to the Forests.
Berlin, June 14. Kate Marsden, who
is interested in a project to establish a
leper colony in Siberia, has arrived here
from St. Petersburg on her way to the
United States. She says that as soon as
any person in Siberia shows 6igns of the
disease the victim is driven into the
forest there to live upon tree bark and
rotten fish." This' food is furnished by
relatives who deposit it at a distance
from the miserable and filthy huts of the
victims. The. huts are one-half under
ground for the sake of warmth.
Miss Marsden and thirty guides wero
obliged to cut a path for themselvea
through the undergrowth of the forests
and to proceed in single file. They
found the lepers ill clad and living tn
indescribable filth and vice, dra:
out a horrible existence until
of disease or starvation.
Miss Marsden says that there has been
found in Yukutska a plant that is re
puted to cure leprosy, but she has not
been able to test it as yet. She intends
to return to Yukutska to establish a
leper colony at Voiuisk.

London, June 14. The Times' Paris

enough for them to have brought the
circumstance to the notice of Emperor
William before he met the czar off Kiel.

FOR A HISTORICAL EXHIBIT-
America would Have Sent Indians to
Madrid but Money Is Lacking-.
New York, June 14. Rear Admiral
S. B. Luce, United States navy, the com
missioner general of this conntry to the
Columbian Historical Exposition in Ma
drid, Sept, 17. said: "We have very lit
tle time to get together a creditable
exhibit. The committee is visiting the
principal museums in the large cities
with a view to obtaining material for
an exhibit which shall illustrate the con
dition of the country and its inhabitant
at the time of its discovery. We did in
tend to take over a ha&d of wild Indians

WIPED OUT BY WIND.
The Town of Gnlvn, Ills., Wrecked Is
a Tornado II lit One Life
I-ost.
Peoria, Bis., June 14. The storm
which raged throughout tbe central
part of this state did great damage. In
Henry county the storm was severest
and the town of Galva was for some
time cut off from the outside world.
This fact led to tho most sensational re
ports being put in circulation. Tho
Rock Island road got a train through
from that point this afternoon,
however, and the facts were ascertained.
Only one person was killed, a man
named Oleson, who took refuge in tho
cellar when his house fell and the tim
bers crushed him to death. The de
struction of property was great. Tho
round house of the Burlington read is a
ass of rnin3, hardly one brick being
left upon another. The Burlington
depot is also in ruins. The Rock Island
elevator is tilted half over and will
probably fall. Another elevator is un
roofed. Tlie place where the village church
6tood is marked only by a masH of
rubbish and debris. The Porter hotel
was demolished and nearly every house
in town was more or less wrecked. Fully
100 of tho houses were moved off of
their foundations. Man were literally
iurned upside down and there is not
a chimney nor. a telegraph
polo left standing in Galva. Such of tho
stores as were not completely demolished
were unroofed and the stocks ruined by
rain. The storm lasted an hour anil
when it subsided the village from onn
end to the other was a scene of wreck
and ruin. No estimate has yet been
made of the loss.
An Epidemic of Hydrophobia.
Marshall, Ills., June 14. There has
been a very severe epidemic of hydro'
phobia in Westfield and Martinsville
townships. In the former several fino
dogs have had to be shot,and several cats
have likewise been sacrificed on ac
count of their being attacked with
rabies. No human beings have beer,
bitten as yet. Valentino Wallum of
Martinsville township lost a valuable
cow from this disease. He has a shep
herd dog which he used to send to tho
pasture after the cow. and it would
frequenly bite her heels to hurry her.
This is supposed to have given her the
rabies, though the dog as yet shows no
symptoms. The cow, after knocking
over and sev erely injuring a horse, was
shot.
A Texas White Invalid a Victim.
Ft. Worth, Tex., Juno 14. An un
known negro entered the house of Mrs.
Mabnrn, an invalid whito woman, and
criminally assaulted her. In the af
ternoon a stranger answering the des
cription of the brute was arrested. The
victim was too ill to identify him, but
if it is proved that he is the assailant the
citizens will lynch him.
Taney Countyites to Be Held.
Springfietj, Mo., June 14. T. W.
Kersey, attorney for the Taney county
lynchers, who returned from Forsythe,
says that Kineyon and Isaacs were re

of the other defendants will be com
mitted, including Attorney McConey

THE ANTI-OPTION BILL.
Speculation as to the Fate of Mr. Hatch's
Keasare in the Senate The Torrey
Baakraptcy Bill JTarorably
Recommended.
Washington, June 14. Representa
tive Eli T, Stackhouseof the Sixth dis
trict of South Carolina died at his resi
dence .early this mordiog of heart dis
ease superinduced by the extreme heat
of yesterday. He was (58 years old.
Both house and senate, when they met
at noon, adopted appropriate resolutions,
appointed committees and as a further
mark o'f respect adjourned until tomor
row. The house committee to accom
pany the remains to South Carolina is
composed of Messrs. Tillman, Lanham,
Cate, Shell, Jolley and Wangh.
The Anti-Option 111 11.
Washington, June 14. Much inter
est is manifested in the fate of the anti
option bill in the senate. The friends of
the measure feel confident that it wiil
pass. Outside observers believe it will
be defeated. The former have figures
to back their conviction. The latter
also have figures, but they misjudged
the temper of the house just as it ap
pears now- they are misjudging the feel
ing of the senate. One of the western
senators whose judgment is rarely a$
fault on matters pending in that body
stated the other day that he believed the
bill would pass if it ever reached a vote.
He was, however, inclined to doubt thai
it would be brought up this session.
Among the leading opponents of the
bill are counted Sherman, Allison, Al
drich, Hale and Hiscock on the Repub
lican side, and McPherson, Gray, Car
lisle, Mills, Harris, Vest, Gibson, Brico
and Palmer on the Democratic side.
Senator Brice characterizes it as an un
democratic measure, and declares that
the farmers do not want it. Mr. Mills
believes it can be defeated on constitu
tional grounds. The question just now
is to what committee it shall go, whether
the agricultural or the finance commit
tee. Senator Paddock, chairman of tho
committee on agriculture, is said to bo
desirous of having it referred to him and
his associates.
It is thought that this question will
bring on a test vote. The friends of
the bill will probably vote to send it to
benator Paddock s committee.
In contrast to these claims of the oiv
position is the confident statement of a
gentleman who watchea every stage of
the bill in. the house and predicted the
result as it now stands, that the senate
yri do precisely what the lower body
did pass it to the surprise of every ono
who predicta.its defeat.
Ihe house committee on judiciary nas
practically agreed to favorably

WIND IN CHICAGO. ;
Small Tornado Strikes the Western
Metropolis.
Chicago, June 14. A small sized
tornado raged in this city between 3
and 4 o'clock p. m. The rainfall was
terrific, the flood of water in many
places being so dense that it was impos
sible to see buildings across the width
of a street. The full force of the wind
struck the southwest corner of the Home
Insurance building, occupied by the
Union National bank, breaking large
plate glass windows. So terrific was
the shock that the plate's were carried
bodily into the bank, hurled halfway
across the counting room and shattered
into fragments upon the desks and fix
tures. J. H. O'Dell, president of the
bank, was struck on tho thigh by a frag
ment of glass and severely cut. The
other occupants of the bank escaped un
hurt. Several small plate glass win
dows in other parts of the building
were demolished and many of the young
women employed in the offices fainted.
The great canvass canopy over the
wigwam in which will be held the
national Democratic convention, was
torn to tatters and so utterly ruined
that the contractors determined to have
done with it and use instead a timber
roof. A number of pillars will bo erect
ed to support the roof. It is feared that
this arrangement will ipmair the ac
coustics of the amphitheatre, but there
is no way to avoid it. Work was begun
on the roof and the contractors declare
the wigwam will be ready for the con
vention at the stated time.
Twenty minutes before the storm
broke forth a boat with three men in it
was noticed on on almost even line with
the south pier about five miles out in
the lake. After the storm the boat
was found capsized. There seems little
doubt that the three men lost their
lives.

THIRTEEN KILLED.
Terrible Results of an Explosion in tho
Shell Room of the Mare Island
Navy Yard.
San Francisco. June 14. About 1 1:J0
o'clock an explosion occurred at tho
Mare island navy yard in the filling
house where shells are charged by which
twelve men wero killed and three prob
ably fatally injured. The victims were
George Hittinger, acting gunner, and
eleven sailors from the United States
cruiser Boston.
Down at the magazine there belched
forth into the sky an immense cloud of
smoke and for half an hour report after
report was heard as tho shells exploded.
Immediately the entire navy yard force
rushed for the scene. The first spectacle
to greet them was the burned and
charred bodies of two apprentice sea
men on the beach, 200 yards from tho
magazine. .Farther on a terrible sight
met their gaze. In the midst of the
ruins and all around on the side hills
were seen bodies and pieces of bodies
scattered hero and there. Bodies were
taken out as fast as possible, and when
all were put alongside each other they
counted twelve, with Gunner Hittinger
of the Boston at the head. Some were
cut in two, others wero minus a leg or
an arm or head. Twelve were killed
outright and three wero taken to the
hospital, wounded but dying. The
cuticle of almost the entire bodies of
these two as well as their clothes, was
blown off and yet they were conscious
and able to move, but will die.
How did it happen, was the question
asked by hundreds. No one can ever
tell. A working party of fifteen men
from the United States steamship Bos
ton was down to prepare ammunition
and fill shells for the ship. All were at
work in the filling room of themagazine,
under chargo of Gunner Hittinger. It
is supposed one of the party dropped a
shell and that the concussion caused the
explosion.
R. Reinche died of his injuries and
was the only one who said a word of his
experience in the explosion before
death. He said that all ho knew, was
that he suddenly found himself flying
through the air. When found he had a
piece of board clean through his body.
Coroner Kind, who held an inquest,
was interviewed. He says no one is left
to tell what was the real cause of tho
explosion. Parties standing near state
that there wero two explosions. The
two men in tho hospital will die, as they
are burned almost to a crisp.
