Details of a mnsiacrti ou tho Solomon Islands were brought up from the South sous by tho Oconnlc Steamship company's mall steftm ship Monowa, which arrived at this port from Australia via tho Sandwich Islands yostcrday. Tho victims of tho bloodthirsty savagos wore members of a party of Aus trtons who had boon taken to tho lslnmlg by tho Austrian mnn-of-wnr Albatross. Tho party was under tho leadership of Henry, llaron Fmilton von Norbook, an Austrian scientist, Who faas visited many firoups of Islands In tho South seas and had numerous eicltlnp experiences with Iho natives. Whllo travoll ng with an armed nard over the mountains of tho Island ho was set upon by bushinon nnd slain, to gether with four others. During tho des perato conflict which followed the assault many of tho party wero daugorouhly wounded. Tho killed aro: Henry, Baron Koulton von Norbeok, Midshipman Armand do Uoaufort, Seaman Jacob Dokovlc and Sea man Gusta-v Chalanpka and n native guide. Dangerously woumlod: Petty Officers Peter JIaras, Ivolo OnNoupob, Peter Our- cio, and Anton Covaeovlck, Seaman Anton liovrlc nnd Soaman Franz Zepctc Slightly wounded- Johnny Paramnta, a native, and tho baron's servant, Nickel. The Albatross was commissioned by tho Austrian government to mako a sclentlllo exploration on bolomon Island. During the mlddlo of last August a landing was maclii nta place called TItirl, on the north coast of Guadalcanal From thero a party consisting of Haron ioulton von Norbook, Lloutonant Bmlik, Midshipman Do Doaufort, twenty sailors, tho baron's two servants and two native guides started out for tho purposo of ex ploring & mountain in tho interior of the mountains called tho Lion's Head. Aftor tvrailnys marching ono midshipman and seven sailors returned, tho men not being able to stand tho hoavy walking in tho bush. Tho baron's party that proceeded reached a camping place at tho foot of tho iilou's Head. 1 ho baron and his servants, with tho native guides, woro in tho lead, going up tho hill, several natives being apparently near or mixed with tho party. When up noar tho top they heard two shots fired Jn tho neighborhood of tho camp they had left, and at tho same time they saw a bushman chief standing on tho top of a rlfee a little above thorn making some signs. -As he appeared two shots wero fired lower down the mountain from tho direction of the camp. Tho shots seemed to be a signal for tho chief to at- taok tho party. Hushmou from a score of places at onco rushed out and tho bnron was struck ou the neck with a tomahawk, while a crowd of buehmen attacked tho rest of tho party with clubs. The nativo who had cut down tho baron was shot by a sailor. Lieutenant Uudlk also put his revolver to good uso. One sailor had to protect himself with a tomahawk ho had wrested from a nativo. Thoothor sailors wero well armed, nnd the bushmou Anally had to retreat to tho woods, many of thorn wounded. Tho baron lived but a fow hours after tho as sault. Awarded 810,000 lor Stolon Affections.

The Victim Had Been Accustomed to Travel Over the Tracks for Years-The Train That Killed Him Was Not Run ning on Its Regular Track. At a lato hour last night a cavo-in occurred a short dlstanco above the general store at Lost Creek, carrying down tho wost bound track of tho Lehigh Valley Itallrond and a part of tho garden at the rear of Morgan Prices residence. 1 he cavo-in was caused by tho workings in tho Holmes vein of Packer No. 2 colliery. The brcacli is about 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, nnd of considerable depth. Navvies were put at work on tho rail road track early this morning and expected to have it in good condition again by to night. Tho cave-in was the Indirect cause of the death of a resident of this town, Conrad Wink, a few hours later. Wink was employed as stablo boss at Packer No. 4 colliery. It was his custom to leave his homo at 329 West Cherry street shortly after four o'clock every morning to start for the eolllerr. His course was tho shortest that could be taken across tho vacant lands at tho west end of Cherry street to the Lolilgh Valley railroad and thence along tho tracks direct to thu colliory. He had followed this couro for years and had uover met with an accident. He know woll tho tracks the cast and west bound trains traveled over and felt secure in travelling that way to and from Ins work. This morning ho left his hoiuo at tho usual hour and traveled safely along tho accus tomed route until he reached lirownsvillc, when ho was run down by tho Lehigh Val ley passenger train that leavos hero west bound at4:t0a. in. It was train No. 531, in cbargo of Conductor Donavan, and drawn by engine iso. 5i5, in cbargo of Engineer Price. The engine struck the unfortunate man with great force in tho back, crushing it terribly. The body was hurled from the track and es caped other mutilation than that caused by tho blow on tho back. Tho train wns stopped aud tho remains picked up. They wero taken on the train to Ashland. A brother of the deceased resides at that placo nnd, upon being summoned by the railway em ployes, came to town by train with the body and looked after Its removal to the home of the bereaved family on West Cherry stieet. Considerable surprise was expressed that a man so accustomed to traveling along the railroad should meet bis death in that maimer, but it was learned that on account of tho cave-in at Lo-,t Cieek the west bound train had been obliged to take tho east bound track. Wink heard its approach, but knew nothing of tho cave-in and supposed the train would pass on the other track as usual. Wink is survived by bis wile and six children. He was IS years of ago nnd very popular, but better known in Ashland than In this town on account of a longer residento at tho former place. In this town bis ac quaintance was more limited to tho vlciuity of his home, but tbuse who knew him speak of him in tho highest tei ins. He wns stable boss at Packer No. I colliery for tho past eighteen years.
