Killed and injured : George 8i voski, aged 17, head blown to pieces; Lizzie F'osky. aged 15, shot in the abdo men, cannot recover; John Jenkins, 28, shot in the abdomen, cannot live ; Mag gi Moore, 14, shot in the arm ond both legs, will recover; Thomas Moore, 23, shot in both legs, will recover. Mitchell Poloski became intoxicated and John Moore ordered him from his saloon. He went home and procured a shotgun. On his way back to the saloon he encoun tered Dan Ryan sitting on A porch with Lizzie Fosky and Maggie Moore. Ryan advised Poloski to go home. Poloski tired, and the two girls fell to the porch, the blood spurting from their wounds. John Moore, attracted by the shooting, , picked up his sister, while Ryan took the Fosky girl. Before they could gel inside the door the drunken fiend emptied the second barre! into the girls, Moore receiving part of the load in the j knee. Poloski was joined by two coun i trymen, also aimed. John Jenkins at i tempted to urreet Poloski and was shot. I The Slavs then escaped to their hoard- ing bouse, barricaded the door, thrust I their heads through the windows and ; threatened to kill the first person at- tempting to enter. People living on the opiMihite side of the street had their heads out of the w indows. One of the j Slavs, seeing the head of George Sivoski, took delilierate aim and fired, tearing half the boy's head and face away. The horror-stricken neighbors closed the window s and barricaded the doors. The murderers then turned the guns on lighted windows, posts and trees. After all became quiet, several armed men went to the house to arrest the murder ers. The door of the house was open and the men were gone. Two men were arrested at Kingston this morning on suspicion. the two guns carried by the murderers were found in a pond. Tried to M order a Lawyer. San Fhancisco, Oct. 13.

Emerson met Lowenthal on the stairway of a building on California street, and handed him a letter to read. While engaged in its perusal F.mereon pressed a pistol against the attorney's stomach and was about to pull the trig-r when Lowenthal knocked the would-be murderer's hand down, the bullet passing through his (Lowenthal's) legs. A fight then followed for posses sion of the weapon, in which Lowenthal was slightly bruised. By this time a crowd was attracted to the scene and Emerson was taken into custody.

THE CLASH OF CHl'KCH AND STATE They Succeed in 8 u Ixl n I u f a Powerful Hottentot filler--Itemilt of tlel (lum Klertiona-. Ameer of A f flianlatan Hlrk. Minneapolis, Oct. 15. Dr. George F". Schmidt, a German traveler, now in Minneapolis, has, received secret dis patches from St. Petersburg, which throw a strong light on the crisis in Furopean politics caused by the impend ing death of the czar. These dispatches came written in sympathetic ink on ap parently a blank piece of paper. An ap plication of heat brought out strange stenographic characters, which the doc tor readily translated for the Associated Press, as follows: "The czar is lying at the point of death The excitement in the the highest cir cles of Russia is tremendous. It is un derstood in wide circles in Russia that the czar's sickness was brought about by systematic means, and that his death will not be a natural one. It is on ac count of that journals contradict the fact of the czar's sickness. There is a party that wants the czarowitz on the throne. The czarowitz is of a cranky, melancholy nature, and will institute the most radical reforms throughout Russia, and has already made plans for such action. He is much hated by the clergy. The patriarch of Moscow, who is at the head of the Greek church, has traveled about with the czar in order to persuade him to put his second son on the throne instead of the czarowitz. The Greek Catholic church of Russia is feverishly excited. The Richsrath, or council of the empire, is daily holding a secret council. The Pan-Slavic party is with the church and against the czarowitz. who is a great friend of Germany. Should the czar decide to place his sec ond son upon the throne this would be looked upon as a direct insult to Ger many, and would be attended with most serious results. The second son of the czar is very inimical to Germany and friendly to France. He is dreadfully despotic, and in the highest degree head strong, and a strong autocrat. It is feared on the death lied of the czar the church influence wiil succeed in in ducing him to call his seccond son as successor. As this second son ia very hotheaded, he is not sure to remain on the throne without becoming seriously involved in state troubles. The 83-year-old patriarch of Moscow has had two conferences with the czar at his death bed, but no one knows the purport of this talk. The second son of the czar is very desiiotic, and opposed to the liberty of the people, and of an envious nature. He is a fine soldier, fond of light, a mar tial fellow and very ambitious. He is the enemy of F'ngland, Germany, and above all, America. He not only in tends to increase the size of Asiatic Rus sia, but will attempt the tremendous task of bringing Retiring straits under Russian control and extending the em pire in the direction of America. This prince is by all odds one of the greatest generals in Russia, having been with Gourka and Timaschiff, und having studied with the latter. All the cabinets of Europe are alarmed. It is rumored that the entrance of England into the dreibund, that is the triple alliance, is abont to take place. Already lietween Russia and Fance secret relations have been entered into."
