GIA.nrATAS TCKKIBLE CKI.HE He Flanges a Knife into the Bodies of His Helpless Victims Over and Over Agala-Sad ' Hesa.lt of t'nlawfnl Love. New York. Aug. 8. A double tragedy was enacted on the sidewalk In front of 325 East Eighty-eighth street at 1155 o'clock today, when an Italian stabbed two women repeatedly with a stiletto, inflicting wounds rrom which both will In all probability tile. The cowardly assassin is Plllppe Ulampata, 47 years old, a shoemaker. His victims are Kate Well. IS years old. and her sister Rosa. 27 years old. The sisters were walking down East Eighty-eighth street on the way to their home, while all unknown to them Olampata, who stood In hlillns In the vestibule of S23, awaited them with murder in his heart. In his hand he held a stiletto, eight Inohes in length, made from a piece of quarter inch steel, sharpened to a needle point.. As the two women reached the steps of the house Glampata sprang frpm his hiding place with a shout and curse, and seizing Kate by the throat, plunged the stiletto Into her left breast near the heart. The wounded woman screamed In agony and her sister shrieked for help. Withdrawing the stiletto the as sassin plunged it again and again Into his helpless victim, accompanying each deadly stroke with a curse. Olampata having wreaked his de moniac wrath on Kate, turned to Rosa, who stood paralyied with fear, and. seizing her by the throat drove the keen weapon Into her body over and over again. He was plying the weapon on the woman when George Hohensteln seized his arm. Then he turned upon Hohensteln and struck him with his knife, ibut fortunately without wound ing him. Hohensteln then loosened his hold and Glampata started away on a run. Before he reached the corner, how ever, he was taken Into custody by Policeman Lldel. Lldel called two other policeman and sent them back to look for the girls. They found them where the stabbing had been done. Katie was still lying on the sidewalk and Ro3i was bending over her. An ambulance was called, and both girls were taken to the Presbyterian hospi tal. There it was stated that Kate, who had seven stab wounds, one near the heart, and the others in the arms, back and breast, could not possibly sur vive her Injury. Rosa, who had re ceived no less than nine wounds, the most serious being one in the back, near the spine, might recover. Cano of the Murder. The cause which led to the tragedy goes back two years, when Kate Wells, then about 16 years of age, met Glam pata and fell In love with him, although he had a wife living. Glampata made her presents and spent much of his time with her and the usual result fol lowed. He betrayed her, and the Inti macy was maintained until some time last May, when they quarrelled and separated. Glampata kept the baby, which was the result of their Intimacy, and would not give It to her, hoping by that means to force her to return to him, but she would have nothing more to do with him. He still loved her, and pursued her with his attentions, following her on the street and loitering about her home, until on July 2 last she pro curred a warrant 'for tils arrest. He was taken Into custody but Magistrate Crane discharged him on his promise not to annoy the young woman any more. He still persisted In annoying her and yesterday she again caused his arrest. When arraigned before Magistrate Mott this morning, Kate complained that he annoyed her when he met her on the street, and that he persisted In asking her to return to him. The mag istrate held him in $500 ball to keep the peace, and paroled him In the custody of Lawyer Quitman until this after noon to produce ball. Nothing In Glam pata' s manner showed that he med itated revenge, and he said no word that would lead to the belief that he mediated the fearful deed which he committed less than an .hour later.

HATRED FOK MISSIONARIES The Prejudice Against Foreigners Is Very Great Among the Native Population. "Vegetarian" Society Unknown to the Legation at Washington. London, Aug. 8. A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai says It Is stated In that city that further fan atllcal outbreaks against Christians occurred at Chlng Chow, Talplng, Hu pah and Anhul. It is stated that all the foreigners escaped without Injury. No confirmation of this report has been received. Washington, Aug. 8. The Chinese le gation In this city Is still without offi cial information regarding the late out rages by the members of the "Vege tarian" society In China upon the mis sionaries and of the foreign element re siding near Kuchung. The members of the legation claim never to have heard of the "Vegetarians" before. They are believed to be a fanatical sect whose purposes are political and who have In cited the recent troubles In order to em broil the Peking government with for eign powers. This being accomplished, they will then Inaugurate a rebellion against the constituted authorities and under cover of this commit such atroci ties as would be most gratifying to their savage nature." Prejudice Against Missionaries. The prejudice against the foreign missionaries among the native popula tion Is very great. While the Chinese government Is bound by its treaty obli gations to protect the missionaries and permit them to carry their faith Into the remotest provinces of the empire. It finds Itself powerless at times to over come the feelings of hostility which the majority of the people entertain for foreigners. The social, religious and political life of the Chinese is so Inter twined that when a Chinaman aban dons the teachings of Buddha or Con fucius, he is believed also to have be come an enemy of his country. While fhe absurdity of this is apparent to all persons oiitside of China, the opinion is believed to be well founded there that the missionaries are sowing the seeds of discontent against the government, and this accounts to same extent for much of the opposition to them. The place where the atrocities oc curred is not Indicated on the map and It la unknown to the officials of the le gation. It is believed to be a summer resort near Kuchung. where some of the missionaries and their families are spending the heated term. Its remote ness from the large industrial centers made It more easy, it Is said, for the Chinese fanatics to assault the helpless foreigners.
