Terrible Crime Results from Ex
cessive Novel Reading.
CASE OP YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY
Two Lads, Whose Meads Had Been Turned
by Scusatlouul Novels. Stab Their
Mother to Beatb-Shocking
Case of Brutslity.
London. July IS. A most horrible
caee of Juvenile depravl.y and brutal
ity came to light in Plalstow. an east
ern suburb of London this morning.
Two boys named Combes, aged respec
tively 13 amd 11 year, were brought be
fore a magistrate upon "the charge of
having murdered their mother, and the
accusation was subttant.'lated by their
own confession of the crime. The boys
killed their mother by stabbl: her
through the heart ten days ago. since
which time they have occupied the
house alone with the woman's fast de
composing body. The husband of the
murdered woma.i and father of the
two boys Is a ship purser and is absect
from home on a sea voyage. The house
is well furnished and possesses all the
requirements of a comfortable home.
After the boys committed their crime
they pawned a number of valuables
they found In the house and proceeded
to enjoy themselves by taking trips to
various places on the river and in the
Interim visiting cricket grounds and
Indulging In other forms of amusement.
When they were arrested they were
playing card In the house containing
the decomposed corpse of their mother.
In company with half-witted man and
apparently getting the highest degree
of enjoyment from their pastime,
despite the stench which pervaded
the rooms. The magistrate was as
tounded at the developments of the
case and amazed at the cool demeanor
of the boys. lie declared that he did
not believe the youngsters sane and re
manded them pending their .mental
examinations.
The minds of the boys seem to have
been upet by reading novels which
make heroes of cutthroats, robbers and
the llke The crime has created a
great sensation in London.
RACE ON THE OCEAN.
The Monongahela and Alliance Sail from
Maderia lojothcr.
Washington, July 18. An Interesting
ocean race between vessels of the United
States navy began today from Funcha!
Madeira. The vessels are the practlce-
shlp Monongahela. having on board a
class of naval cadets, and the training
ship Alliance, manned by a large num
ber of naval apprentices. A cable mes
sage received at the navy department
this afternoon Indicates that the veS'
sels started together. The Mononga
hela Is bound for Annapolis and the
Alliance for Torktown, so that the race
will be to the Virginia capes.
Both vessels will proceed under sail,
but the Alliance Is at' somewhat of a
disadvantage by the fact that she will
have to drag her unused propeller. The
Alliance has a displacement of 1,375
tons, while that of the Monongahela is
1,200 tons. There Is much rivalry be
tween the cadets and the apprentices
and the boys on each ship will work
hard to have their particular vessel
reach the capes first.

M. STAMBlLOrF DEAD.
The ex-Mlnistcr of Bulgaria Expires front
Wounds Inflicted ty I'nkuowu As-Muslim-Sketch
of Ilia Career.
Sofia, Bulgaria. July IS. M. SHambu-
loff died at 9:35 this morlng, not having
uttered word since -the death struggle
bi-trun at 10 o'clock last night.
All hiH of t he ex-premler's recovery
was alacidonml yesterday evening when
it wan noticed that meningitis had su
liervensd, and thereafter the sufferer
did not recognize any one. A eata
fulque Is being prepsji-d tn order that
the remains may lie In state. The In
terment will take place on Saturday.
The government has not yet proposed
to give the remains of M. Stambuloff a
state f uncial. The widow of the de
ceased statesman has received many
telegrams of condolence from high per
sonages In different parts of Europe.
Stefan Nicolof Stambuloff, who has
been called theltlsmarck of Bulgaria.
was txtrn at Tlrnova In 1855, and was
educated In the seminary at Tlrnova for
the Russian church. When 20 years of
age. in 1ST5. he Joined In the attempted
revolution in Bultrarla and was com
pelled to take refuge In Bucharest. In
the Ruso-Turklsh war he served as a
volunteer In the Russian army. After
the election of Alexander I. as prince of
Bulgaria he became one of the chiefs
of the Liberal party and was elected
president of the sobranje In 1SS4.
Through hit? Influence Prince Ferdin
and, of Saxe-Coburg and OoOlva, was
elected Prince of Bulgaria ir.. 18S7, and
for some time afterwards he practically
exercised the powers of a dictator,
keeping the maiconte-nts In subjection
a.nd repressing all revolutionary plots
with unhesitating severity. In. 1890 Ma
jor Panitza headed a conspiracy, and
wan shot in aptte of all manner of
diplomatic efforts to save him. In the
following year the minister of finance,
i.M. Beltchef, was assassinated brutally,
the clreum-'tances Indicating beyond
doubt that he had been mistaken for
SUambuIoff. This outrage led to the
execution of four prominent canaplra-
ton-, In the face of Rusaian and Euro
pean protest, and In tthe Imprisonment
of Karaveloff. Meanwhile Stambuloff
persisted in his determined opposition
to the Intrigues of Russia and Turkey,
coined money In Ferdinand's name.
and n-ith .the help of England raised a
Bulgarian national loan.
Sincethen the Russophlles have been
gaining ground in Bulgaria, and 'Stam
buloff has been little better than a pris
oner in his own house, where he has
lived In constant dread of the fate
which has now overtaken him. Even
his appeals to be permitted to go
abroad in search of medical advice for
the diabetes, from which he was suf
fering, were disregarded. There Is little
doubt that he was feared and detested
both by Ferdinand and the Russophlles
lately in control of Bulgarian political
affairs. With all his faults he was a
thoroughly strong man, and his oppon
ents know that they could expect small
mercy at his hands whenever a new
turn of the political wheel should place
him again In power.

he learned his son had been fatally hurt
and he ran a dlatunce of twenty-eight
miles In Mnerteen mhiutes. He reached
his son's side just In time to see him
breathe his last. The wcene was a most
dramatic one. The story of the fast

Melvln Boone -was employed by the

seat holding the throttle open as far
as It was possible and watched the
second hand on his watch go round
Fortunately the road between North
Vernon and here happened to be clear,
but had any train been running on the
division there Is no telling what would
have happened.
Exactly nineteen minutes after
Boone started bis engine dashed lu'.o
the Brownstown station. The run was
a most remarkable one. The distance
Is exactly twenty-eight miles and the
rpeed averaged 83 3-19 mlleaan hour,
which Is a most wonderful performance
when the fact '.hat the trip was made
by a switch engine Is taken. Into con
sideration. A aoon as Mr. Boone ar
rived he was driven to his dying son's
side. The young man bad regained
consciousness for the first time. He
recognized his father, and, as he placed
hi1? hand In his, he died without utter
kr.'g a word.
Mr. Boone is r.early crazed with grief.
He Is well ndvanced In years and was
ilhoroughly wrapped up In his son. The
strain of bis daring and excithig run
told greatly upon him and he Is com
pletely prostrated. It is doubtful if he
will be fitted for work In many weeks.
In railroad circle the great run la tbe
toplo of conversation, and aklboush Mr.
Boone's act was not In accordance with
railroad rules the officials of the com
pany admire him more than they blame

only eighteen miles from the capital,
and order will soon reign. Ex-Gover-nur
Foir.ig was Inaugurated president on
'May 23. He and the various members
of bis cabinet have all left the Islamd.
"It Is very questionable whether the
people are at all concerned at the
e'hange of rulers. It is stated thaj; the
movement for Independence wai' organ
ized by the officials, and thai the peo
ple were supremely Indifferent. There
were 60,000 Chinese Itroops who were
well armed with modern rifles but the
Chinese will naut light. Many of these
braves are now In A-moy and are fright
ening foreigners. The forts at Keelung

nese forts, Indefensible in the rear.

side and were provided with Arm
strong, Krupj and Mcliugh guns."
