U. S. Ship Hit in War Zone. Sallors Took to Small Later Board Vessel Again and Start on Return to Liverpool. | The American steamship Nebraskan was either torpedoed of struck a mine forty miles west-southwest of Fastnet, off the south coast of Ireland. The Nebraskan passed Queenstown on her way back to Liverpool. The ship was proceeding under her ova steam at eight knots an hour. The Nebraskan, which was owned by the American-Hawaiian line, made her last trip to Liverpool under char- ter by the White Star line and was bound from Liverpool to the Delaware Breakwater, in water ballast, flying the American flag, when the mishap overtook her. A message from Liverpool says that the name and nationality of the Ne- b.. kan were painted in large letters on aer sides. The Nebraskan was down at the bows. She was proceeding under her own steam and flying the signal: “I am not under control.” That the Nebraskan may have been torpedoed was intimated by a dispatch from Crookhaven, Ireland, saying it was learned that a submarine was! seen off the southern coast of Ireland. She was sighted near Galley Cove, which is about ten miles from Fast- net. Several residents of Crookhaven sighted the submarine off Galley Cove, near the mouth of Little Creek. A man on shore fired two shots with a rifle at the men in the conning tower of the submarine. The submarine dived immediately, but soon rose again further out, and three more shots were fired at her, and she again disappeared. ! The Nebraskan, commanded by Cap- tain Green, had left Liverpool on Mon- day. When she was struck, off the Irish coast, about thirty miles south- west of where the Lusitania was sunk, the sea was calm. Immediately after she was struck the Nebraskan began calling for help by wireless. After sending the “S. O. 8.” call the crew took to the boats and stood by the steamship. It was soon ascertained that the Nebraskan was not seriously damag- ed. She had been struck forward and her foreholds were full of water. The crew returned on board and got the vessel under way. No lives were lost among the crew. The Ne- braskan did not carry passengers. The foregoing information was re- ceived by the British admiralty in London and was at once communicat- ed to the American embassy. The German sumbarine campaign is continuing actively. Dispatches from Norway say the people of that coun- try have been aroused by the sinking last week of the Norwegian steamer Minerva and the attempt to torpedo the Iris, which went to her assist- ance. The steamer Cromer, loaded with passengers, had a narrow escape from being torpedoed while bound for Rotterdam. A submarine fired a to:-' pedo without warning. It missed the ship by only fifteen yards. According to the captain’s story to Rotterdam correspondents, the peri- scope was seen 500 yards distant, and then the wash of the torpedo, which was moving so rapidly that nothing could be done to avoid it. The attack occurred at a point four miles north of North Hinder Lightship. BRITISH WARSHIP SUNK Triumph Sent Down by Submarine While Operating in Dardanelles. !

The majority of the officers and men, including the captain and com- mander, are reported to have been! saved.

Francis Kindt, of Lehighton, Killed by Three Men, Robbed of $1100 and His Body Buried. A murder mystery of thirty years ago was cleared up by the finding of ! the bones of Squire Francis Kindt, of Lehighton, near Allentown, Pa. who drepped out of sight in 1885 with $1100 belonging to an estate of which he was the executor. This find substantiates the deathbed confession, several months ago, of Henry Truxen, a negro inmate of the western penitentiary. Truxen told his cellmate, Robert E. Boyer, that, as- sisted by two white men, he had mur- dered Squire Kindt and buried the body in a lonely spot on a mountain about two miles from Millport. Seeing an opportunity to clear his father’s memory, Howard Kindt, son of the squire, now living in Brooklyn, set out to solve the mystery. He ob- tained the parole of Boyer, who had written down Truxen’s confession, giv- ing in detail the planning and execu- tion of the crime and the burial of the body. A party composed of Kindt, several friends and relatives began to search for the burial spot. The directions set down by Boyer proved to be accurate, for with a little digging the bones of Squire Kindt were found, together with some moldy documents which es- tablished the identity of the remains. Squire Kindt was a leading citizen of Carbon county, widely known and trusted. One day he left his home to go to Easton to place in a bank some money belonging to an estate of which he was executor. He did not arrive at Easton and was never seen afterward. Truxen confessed to his cellmate, Boyer, that his two accomplices were neighbors of the squire, who knew he had a large sum of money in his pos- session. One of them died five years ago. The other is said to be still living near Millport. Truxen, in his confession, stated that he and his companions lay in wait for the squire in a lonely place. He was killed by a blow from a pick handle after a brief struggle. Although there is no corroborative evidence of Truxen’s confession, the district attorney has instituted an in- vestigation of the case. The bones of the squire will be interred in the fam- ily plot. Five Blown to Death on Dredge. Five persons, a woman, two children , and two men, met death in the Dela- ware river" opposite Bordentown, N.

Barnes Not Libeled by Roosevelt. The jury in the trial of William Barnes’ suit for libel at Syracuse, N. Y. against Theodore Roosevelt returned a verdict in favor of the de- fendant after considering for more than eleven hours the question of placing all the costs of the action on the plaintiff. The jury was out forty-two hours. It is the belief of the jury that every- thing Colonel Roosevelt charged is true, and therefore the plaintiff, not . having been libeled, is entitled to no damages. The foreman of the jury, Warren W. Summers, announced that the ver- dict was for the defendant, and then the jury was polled. Ten jurors an- swered “for the defendant.” Then the clerk hesitated, called the name of | Edward Burns and waited. Burns, a ! big, rosy-cheeked Republican, stood up in his seat and in a deep voice said: “For the defendant.” Juror No. 12 gave the same answer. Wilson Again Grandfather.
