A FIEND AJU STILETTO
Two Girls Stabbed by aa Italiaa
Shoemaker.
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.
ROOSEVELT STANDS FIRM.
Refuses to Yield a Jot on the Liquor
Law.
iNew York, Aug. 8. (Mayor Strong
held a conference with President Roose
velt regarding the enforcement of the
excise laws, when he sent for Mr.
Roosevelt the mayor. It Is said, dis
tinctly requested the president of the
police board to order a general halt,
and, to the mayor's surprise, Mr. Roose
velt declined to do so. In a word, he
refused point blank to change his views
on the enforcement of the excise law.
The politicians behind Mayor Strong
will now try Alderman Goodman's plan
and shift the responsibility for closing
or not closing on the voters themselves.
Alderman Goodman offered an excise
resolution at the board meeting yester
day, which was adopted, directing the
aldermanic committee on excise to give
public hearings on the Sunday closing
question and then draft an excise or
local option bill for presentation to the
legislature at the opening of the next
session. The committee has not yet
fixed a date for a public hearing on he
question. 1

Jl STICK JACKSON DEAD.
The Eminent Jurist Passes Away at Nash
ville. Tcnn.-History of Ills Judicial Ca
reer. Nashville. Tenn., Aug. 8. Howell Ed
munds Jackson, associate Justice of the
supreme court of the United States,
died at 2 p. m. today at his residence at
West Mead, six miles from this city,
aged 61 Judge Jackson had been in
failing health for several years, but It
had been only In the last nine months
that the progress of the disease began
to cause his family and friends un
easiness. Nevertheless Judge Jackson did not
take to his bed until eight days ago.
Judge Jackson was twice married and
his wife and seven children survive him.
Howell E. Jackson was the son of an
eminent physician of Jackson, Tenn.
He was born In Paris, Tenn., April 8,
1832. He was graduated from the Uni
versity of Virginia with the highest
honors.
Judge Jackson served one term on the
supreme bench of Tennessee in 1881.
He was elected senator from this state
at a time when the fight concerning the
state's debt was on.
Elected senator in 1881, his term did
not expire until March 4. 1887, but he
was appointed to the United States dis
trict court bench by President Cleve
land April 12. 1886.
He was appointed to the supreme
bench in January, 1893, by President
Harrison, and the nomination was con
firmed by a Republican senate, not
withstanding he was a staunch Dem
ocrat.
Judge Jackson was domestic In Ms
habits and desires. On one occasion,
while district Judge, he was hearing an
argument of a noted Louisville lawyer
on a quesMon Involving a matter of In
terest. Judge Jackson, In his ruling,
decided against the gentleman, who
brought forward an authority which he
said he hoped would have weight with
the court. It was a report of the sen
atorial Judicial committee on a case
bearing upon the same question. Judge
Jackson recognized the report as one
which had been made by the Judiciary
committee while he was a member of
that committee. He asked the attor
ney if he expected to hold a man as
Judge responsible for an opinion he held
as senator. .

K TROUBLE IN CH1HA
Shanghai Dispatch Gives Account of
Further Outbreaks.
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.

Brazil Kcclves a Peremptory Demand.
Hupture of Relations Possible
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Aug. 8.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, telegraphs that
Signor Noblll, Italy's charge d'affairs In
(Rio Janeiro, has presented to the Bra
zilian foreign office the final request of
his government 'for a settlement of the
claims of Italy against Brazil. These
claims arise out of outrages perpetrat
ed, as alleged, during the revolution, to
the Injury of Italian subjects. Signor
Noblll Intimates that the orders of
Baron Blanc, Italian minister of foreign
affairs, are peremptory, and that If -delay
intervenes or equivocation Is prac
tlced diplomatic relations between the
two countries will be severed at once.
It Is probable that an Italian naval
squadron will at once sail for Brazil, if
the answer of that country Is not satis,
factory.
A sensation has been caused here and
In all parts of Argentina by the action
of the police today. A drill of the na.
tlonal guard had been ordered, and was
sllmly, attended, the roll calls showing
many-absent. Later the police arrest
ed more than 1.500 young men, accused
of failure in military duty.
