WRECKED BY LIGHTNING
Terrible Catastrophe at tbe Quaker'
towa Methodist Church.
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED
Victims of the Bolt Are Rendered I'a
eoaacloas-The Congregation ia a
Wild Paulo-Stampede of Fright-eaed-Traek
of the Bolt.
Flemlngton, N. J.. Aug. . The words
of a fervent benediction had scarcely
left the lips of Rev. Mr. Bowman, In
the Methodist church at Quakentown.
seven miles above here, today, when
there came a blinding flash of lightning
and a terrifying burst of thunder that
all but wrecked the little building. The
bolt entered the churvh and Injured a
score of people, several of them prob
ably fatally. The list of those most se
riously injured follows: James Hon.
Minnie Frace. Miss K. Hoffman, Asa
Bun non, the sexton, Mrs. Bowman, wife
of the pastor. .
The bolt seemed to enter the edifice
by the basement, shooting up through
the floor and bursting with the force
of a huge cannon. Members of the con
gregation who had started to leave, or
were standing in groups conversing
with each other, were thrown Into a
wild panic, while at least twenty of
them received Injuries more or less
severe.
Amid the tumult of screaming women
any crying children, and groans of the
Injured, there was a stampede of frlgflit
ened horses under the sheds outside. A
number of them broke their tethers and
ran away, wrecking the carriages to
which they were attached and dashed
down sections of fencing.
Pastor Bowman and scores of willing
hands were soon at work among the
stricken ones. A number of them were
unconsclons, and it was thought at
first they had been killed outright.
They were laid upon the pew cushions.
The parsonage, which adjoins the
church, was converted into a hospital.
The Sexton's Sad Plight.
All the clothing was torn from Sexton
Bannon, while his shoes looked as
though they had been run through a
corn shelter. He is suffering from Ohe
shock and can hardly recover.
The bolt struck through the floor,
right at the feet of Minnie Frace and
she was thrown down with great vio
lence. Her life Is dispalred of.
Mrs. Bowman, who stood near Miss
Frace, was also thrown down by the
awful explosion. Her hat was torn
from her head and a steel ripped clean
out of her corset. She is still uncon
scious from the shock.
James Hoff got the full force of the
shock, and he lies in a semi-conscious
condition.
Examination of the building after
the-excitement had subsided somewhat
showed that the bolt had struck an
outer wall, ran down to the basement
sixty feet to the Joists, and shot up
through the floor like a huge bullet.
The large bell In ithe tower was loos
ened from Its hangings, and only a
slender strip of scantling kept It from
crashing down upon the heads of scores
of people at the doorway.
WHITE HOUSE REPAIRS.
Several Changes Will Be Made In the
Ballding.
Washington, Aug. 4. The annual ren
ovation of the White house, In the ab
sence of the president's family, means
more this year than usual. Besides
the ordinary cleaning and painting, a
number of changes will be made. The
most Important of these Is the new
doorway at the rear of the red room.
This has been done In order to facili
tate the egress of the guests at recep
tions and obviate the necessity of hav
ing to make their way through the
dense throng that usually on such oc
casions make the Inner corridor almost
Impassable.
In the east room the furniture will
be entirely re-covered In gold colored
satin damask, similar to that now in
use. Tbe curtains will be renewed, and
there will also be new carpet, so that
the effeot will be that of general new
ness throughout this, the most Impos
ing apartment In the White house,
where strangers oftenest congregate to
greet the chief executive.

sul general at New York, which arrived
at tbe consulate, 2S West Ninth street,

BATTLE IN SUSQUEHANNA,
The Hastings Republicans Put t'p a Lively
Fight Against Bossism-InflueOeo of
The Tribune.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, Pa., Aug. 4. One of the
fiercest factional battles ever known In
the history of Susquehanna county was
fought yesterday. The Hastings and
Quay leaders were collectively and In
dividually on the qui vlve. Never be
fore has the Republican party been so
great cynosure as In the past month.
The local Quay leaders deny that
their master called them to Scranton,
and that It was simply a coincidence
tHat they all happened to run down
and see him. They are also unneces
sarily loud In their denial of the charge
that Quay currency found Its way to
Susquehanna.
The higher grade Republicans were
Invariably for Hastings, and the Quay
leaders were surprised when they found
that Montrose, heretofore Quay from
pit to dome, gave Hartings' delegates
115 votes, and Quay delegates H6. They
knew then that their timbers were be
ginning to rot, and while the present
Indications point to the county still be
ing numbered among Quay's, It aho
shows that he has lost considerables
ground.
The Tribune was the bone of conten
tion among the Quay men, and It is
surprising to note what a strong in
fluence it has had in this section. At
the polls was frequently heard, "A vote
for the Hastings delegates means a vote
for the Scranton Tribune."
Naturally the Quay men do not relish
the fearless and open manner of the
paper, and some are denouncing lit.
Your correspondent was uiru
learn the total vote of the county, and
It will not be known until Monday.
AMEN TO SUNDAY CYCLING.
Member of the W. C. T. V. Heartily In Fa
vor of the Practlee.
May's Landing, N. J.. Aug. 4.-Sun-day
bicycling was indorsed from an un
expected standpoint at the opening of
Pitman Grove camp meeting today. The
day was given over to a rally of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
and 3,000 persons were present. One of
the speakers discussed Sunday observ
ance, and attacked Sunday bicycle rid
ing, which she said ought to be stopped.
Then iMrs. J. T. E1119 said she had
seen as many as 600 bicycles go past
her Orange home Sunday. At first
thought this was terrible, but she had
since learned that a man must have a
steady head or his wheel would wob
ble. He couldn't drink and ride, and
she would say amen to bicycle riding.
Then the women, she said, accompanied
the men on these Sunday trips, and, as
the men would not go to a saloon when
the women were with them, she would
say amen to the women's Sunday cy
cling. ORLADY MAY DECLINE.

Frightful Butchery Is Reported from
Kuchenrj, China.
FIVE WOMEN SLAUGHTERED
The Victims Were English Missionaries
Residing at a Locality Not Access
ible to Worships-No Ameri
cas on the Beats. List.
London, Aug. 4. A dispatch from
Shanghai gives the details of the re
ported massacre of Christians at Ku
cheng. The women who are said to have
been killed are believed to have been
members of the Church of England, the
Zenana, and the American Methodist
Episcopal missions. According to the
dispatch, they were butchered after
suffering atrocious outrages. A num
ber of other foreigners. Including wo
men and children, were seriously
wounded.
The dispatch declares that the Chi
nese officials connived at, If they did
not Instigate, the attack on the Chris
tiana. The revival of outrages is at
trlbuted to the apathy of the British
and American ministers, despite the
Increasing antl-forelgn feeling that la
displayed.
Foreigners In Shanghai regard the
commission sent to inquire into the re
cent riots at Chengtu as a farce. Many
officials who were charged with com'
pliclty In these riots are being pro
moted.
Washington, Aug. 4. A cable mes'
sage received at the state department
today from 'Mr. Jernigan, the United
States consul general at Shanghai, re
ports a massacre of -Christians In
China. No Americans were killed, but
one was seriously wounded. The dig
patch from Mr. Jernigan gave the
name of the American woman who
was seriously wounded as iMlss Harlow.
and said that five English women were
killed.
What nteps the state department will
take with reference to the massacre
has not been determined, and probably
will not be un'til fuller details are cabled
by Minister Denby or Consul General
Jernigan. Immediatey after receiving
the dispatch from the latter. Acting
Secretary AJee, of the state depart
ment, informed the navy department
of the affair, with a view to ascertain
ing If any United States naval vessal
could reach the scene of trouble. The
dispatch from Mr. Jernigan gave the
name of the place where the massacre
occurred as Kuckeng, Instead of Ku
cheng. Neither Kuckeng nor Kucheng
could be found on the maps at, the state
and. navy departments, but & place
called Klncheng was found, and this is
believed to be the correct locality. It
Is on a small stream in therntddle of
China, north of the Yang-tse-Klang
river, and in a position which forbids
even the Machlas, the smallest United
States gunboat on the Asiatic station,
from getting within at least four hun
dred miles.
Ten British Killsd.
Washington, Aug. 4. The state de
partment received the following cable
gram from Consul Jernigan, at Shang
hai, today, In reference to the reported
massacre near Kudhang Ko: (
"Americans safe; none hurt. Ten
British killed."
At the state department It Is believed
that the massacre is simply the result
of another outbreak of fanaticism, such
as was rampant during the war be
tween China and Japan. The greatest
riot at that time against Christians oc
curred at Ohen-Tu. The American Mis
sion buildings there were damaged, but
no American was killed.
(Minister Denby protested against the
treatment of the Americans at Cheng
Tu, and the Chinese government gave
satisfactory assurances of Its Intention
to punish the offenders and to prevent
a repetition of the outrages. The Brit
ish missions at Oheng-Tu were also
damaged, and the British government
has just sent one of Its consular offi
cers to make Inquiry Into the affair,
with a view of demanding damages.
Names of the Victims.
London, Aug. 4. The Telegraph to
morrow will print a dispatch from
Shanghai stating that the massacre at
Kucheng occurred on July 31. The of
ficials suppressed the news for three
days. The names of the killed are:
Miss Elsie Marshall, Mlss Annie Gor
don, Miss Bessie Newcombe and Miss
Flora Stewart, all of the English Ze
nana mission; Miss 'Nellie Saunders,
.Miss Topny Saunders, Rev. D. Stewart
and Mrs. Stewart, of the Church Mis
sionary society. Five of Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart's children were killed and two
survive. One had one knee broken
and ithe other, a baby, lost an eye. The
following were saved: Miss Hartford,
of the American mission; Miss Cod
rlngton, of the English Zenana mis
sion, and Rev. iH. S. Phillips, of the
English Church Missionary society.
United States Consul Hlson, who Is
stationed at Foo Chow, with a party
of volunteers, upon receipt of the news
of the massacre, started) on a steam
launch for the scene, and has returned
bringing with him the wounded Ameri
cans. The experiences of the survivors
were terrible. They say that death was
the least part of the sufferings of the
butchered women.
The mandarins endeavor to blame
certain secret societies for the outrage.
Europeans, however, regard this as
nonsense. The latest says It la now
known that ten persons were killed, In
cluding Miss Lena Stewart and Dr.
Stewart's whole family, except two.
The American missionaries, Miss Hart
ford and Dr. Gregory, escaped, but the
former was fearfully Injured. Severe
English and American children were
killed.

MRS. BARNES ON THE TRAIN.
She Visited Chicago In Company with Her
Ms, So Magowan Says.
Trentoin N. J., Aug. 4. Ex-Mayor
Frank A. Magowan, whose departure
from this city ten days ago precipitated
the appointment of receivers for the
Eastern and the Trenton Rubber com
panies, of which he was the president
and general manager, returned to Tren
ton this afternoon. Jle says he has
ample securities to raise all the money
necessary to take both companies out
of the receivers' hands, by paying oft
the protested notes, and that this will
be done. He claims It will require only
$30,000.
Magowan admits that Mrs. Barnes,

LOCKED IN A VAULT.
Williams Wanted to Know the Sensations
of Suffocstlon-IHs Curiosity Ia Orstl-fled-Jionow
Kseape from Death.
Chicago, Aug. 4. -Walter Barnes and
Frank Wllllaims were theorizing on the
Holmes case last night while sitting in
the rear of O. A. Hesla & Co.'s Jewelry
store. 570 West Madison street. It final
ly assumed the form of an argument
over the merits of the different methods
supposed to have been employed by the
terrible Holmes in doing away with his
numerous victims. Barnes said he had
heard that the feeling, while being
smoDhered to death, was not as bad as
drowning and Ills curiosity led him to
suggest to Williams that he (Barnes)
would enter the Jewelers' vault and
have the door shut Just a little while,
you know and that he would tell how
it seems to a man who is about to be
smothered.
Williams was nothing loth to try the
experiment suggested by Barnes and
so the latter climbed Into the big steel
box, and curled up In the shallow va
cancy between the row of drawers and
the door. The heavy door swung shut
and Williams pulled the lever tha,t
forces It Into its Jamb. He did not
pull the lever clear over, but he pulled
It so far that when he heard Barnes
faintly calling for him to open the door
a few minutes rater, it could not be
moved.
Williams Jerked and tugged at the
door. He heard Barnes begging for his
release In barely audible tones, ani?
strained every muscle to move the door.
O. A. Hesla heard the call from a back
room In the store and in a moment hr
was pulling with Williams upon the
door handle. The Jeweler saw that no
two men could move the door, anrt
rushed wildly out on the sidewalk. Mr
returned with half a dozen strong men
and began an assault upon the vault
door. The door would not budge. A
crow bar was found somewhere, and a
vain attehrpt was made to pry the door
open.
"Are you there yet, Walter," Will
iams asked, too badly frightened to
know what he was saying.
Barnes could make no reply. He had
been locked In twenty-five minutes and
was sadly In need of a breath of fresh
air, when "Mr. Hesla grabbed a wrench
and began to unfasten the nuts that
held the lever on the door. It was the
work of but a few moments and then
with a mighty pull the door came open.
Barnes was lifted out of the vault un
conscious and black In the face, but he
recovered before a doctor arrived.
When asked how it felt to be smoth
ered he made come Incoherent reply.
Then he said he would go and take a
walk in the fresh air.
ft all turned out without the ser
vices of an undertaker being required,
but this Is due, Mr. 'Hesla explained, to
the fact that Williams failed to push
the lever of the vault door over as far
as It would go. y

Princeton, 111., Aug. 4. The Italians of
Spring Valley broke out today In a
war upon the negroes, with a view of
either massacrelng them or driving
them from without the city limits. The
following negroes were seriously in
jured: Granville Lewis, aged 45 years, may
die; Clem L. Martin, aged 32, seriously
Injured; Norman Bird, aged 14; William
Lee, aged 31 years; Jube Sterrltt, aged
47 year; Oscar Prim, bruised with rocks
and stones; Silas Burken, bruised with
clubs and ehot; Jude Stuart, Jim Kelly,
aged 26 years; Will Beck, aged 30 years,
internal Injuries; Frank Turner, aged
68 years, struck in buck and shoulders
by about forty buckshot; Frank Burns,
head badly bruised and Internal In
juries. An Italian Waylaid.
The Italians for many months have
wished to drive the negroes out of the
coal mining belt, and today a plausible
excuse for so doing presented Itself.
At 1 o'clock this morning an Italian
was waylaid on the public highway by
four negroes and robbed and ehot four
times, from the effects of which he can
not live untH morning. A mass meet
ing of the Italians was called and at 10
o'clock a mob of over 300 that gathered,
started out for the negro village, which
Is located two miles west of Spring
Valley. They -were headed by the
Spring Valley Italian band, and to de
ceive the negroes Into thinking the as
sembly a peaceable one, this band
rendered several national airs. The
negroes, as a result, remained in their
homes. The Italians fell on to them
like a lot of Indians. The men were
dragged out, clubbed, trampled upon,
and made the targets for the ehotguns,
rifles and small arms the mob had
brought with them. The women were
Insulted, slapped and two of them while
begging for mercy were shot down and
fatally injured.
Sheriff Clark, of Princeton, was tele
graphed for and arrived on the ground
with a posse, but came too late, as the
work bad long been done before he ar
rived. Hhe negroes fled terror-stricken
over the surrounding hills, and tonlghft
are sleeping under trees and barns
with the exception of a few whom the
farmers are shattering. Many of the
injured are expected to die before morn

The boat was rowed across to the Jer
sey shore, and here the party landed.
The Jones woman wanted to return
and Hayes resented this Implied reflec
tion on the entertaining powers of the
party by beating and kicking the wo
man severely. Peace was patched up,
and the four returned to the boat and
resumed the row. Mrs. Jones again
said she wanted to return home and
Hayes threatened to throw her over
board If she did not keep quiet.
Whether Hayes carried out his threat
Willi be a task for the coroner to find
out. At any rate the woman went
overboard and was drowned. The Mc
Cann woman asserts Hayes threw her
slEter Into the river, although she ad
mits she did not see him do It. Hayes
Is a dlssoaute fellow with no home, and
the police found him asleep and drunk
on a pile ot boards on the wharf. Hayes
was committed tn await the coroner's
action.
