IN DEATH'S VALLV.
Short Descriptions of the Horrors In
That Region.
Keeleb, Aug. 7. R. H. Williams, as
sistant observer at the Death "Valley
weather station, arrived last night from
Furnace creek, for medical treatment,
having been prostrated by the intense
heat. In letters received from Mr. Clery ,
he tells of some of the horrors of sum
mer in that region. Here are Jus
figures:
In June, the hottest was 122, coldeBt
GO, and mean temperature for the month,
91 degrees. In July the hottest was 122,
the lowest 72, and monthly mean, 101
degrees.: In June there was .05 of an
inch of ram, and in July, with a thund
ering storm every day during the last
week of the month, there waa but .37,
July 22, the temperature was above the
hundered murk for a few moments only
in the morning, when itwentdown to 99.
Mr. w uiianis says the greatest draw
back is cooking. iBiacuit baked in the
morning are as hard as a. stone in two
hours, and it is impossible to keep them
soft unless damp cloths are spread over
them all tbe time, it is impossible to
cook except in the early morning. Po
tatoes dry up in two days and are use
less. Kicks, Mr. Williams savs,-dryNup
in the shell in two days, and become
worthless unless eaten the saine day they
are laved. The two men drink daily
from two to three and a half gallons of
water each, which thev keep in stone
jars to cool by evaporation. Clothing is
an aggravation, and they wear little else
than a sort of a gown or a night shirt.
There are a few big trees there, but the
fruit invariably dries up on the trees
while ripening. Mr. Williams says one
is compelled to drink so much water and
prespire so freely that he becomes very
weak, and if not very cautious prostra
tion results. He will return again in a
few days after recruiting his strength.
BOUND AND LOCKED VP.
Hullivan Onto Uproariously Drunk ami
x is Confined to H in Boom.
San Francisco, Aug. 7. The steamer
Alameda, from Australia this morning,
brings news of another escapade of John
L. Sullivan. One day when the steamer
was between Honolulu and Samoa, Sul
livan arose at 11 a. m. and commenced
to imbibe freelv. By supper time he
had disposed of thirty-eight bottles of
porter and was uproariously drunk.
Captain Hay wards ordered the bar shut
down. While the eighty or more pas
sengers were at supper, Sulivan made
his appearance and strongly protested
against Captain Haywards depriving
him of liquor. He made a scene
and squared off to strike the captain,
when there was a roll of the ship and
John L. went down in a heap. He was
seized, bound, taken to his state room
and locked up. He obtained no more
liquor during the passage. .
FRUIT AND GRAIN.
California Orchardlsts to Prevent Dis
tribution of Infected Orange Trees.
San Francisco, Aug. 7. Southern
orchardists have evidently awakened to
the danger from tbe infected orange
trees now in quarantine at San Pedro,
and will prevent their distribution at all
hazards. Secretary Lei on g, of the state
hoard of horticulture, has received letters
from prominent fruit-growers in the San
Gabriel valley, Redlands, National City,
San Diego and Riverside, assuring him
that if the state needed money to prose
cute th- case, the orange-growers of that
section of California are ready to sub
scribe anv sum needed. One fruit
grower of" Riverside stands ready to
telegraph . at a moment's notice any
money necessary.
The Situation in India.
Madras, Aug. 6. Though the mon
soon set in some time ago, in some parts
of India, dispelling all fears of a failure
of the crops in that portion of the coun
try where rains have fallen, there has
been no rainfall in the Chingle Put and
North Arcot districts, in this presidency,
and all hopes of averting a(famine have
been" abandoned. The heat is unpre
cedented. The standing grain and
other crops have succumbed to the long
drought and all are withered and burned.
Already -the effects of the scarcity of
food are being felt and there is great
suffering among the inhabitants of the
districts. Many deaths from starvation
have been reported. It is also impossi
ble to get food for cattle, horses, cows,
donkeys and other live stock. As a con
sequence, they are dying in large num
bers everywhere in .the districts.
A Corner on Kansas Wheat.
-, Topeka,' Aug. 7. J. B. French, secre
tary of thetate alliance, states that the
alliance has completed arrangements by
which it will handle three-quarters of
the Kansas wheat crop of 50,000,000
. bushels. Arrangements have been made
to store at least half of the crop in the
elevators in Kansas City, Chicago, St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Baltimore, and
other large cities, for an indefinite period,
or until the owners "desire to sell. Ar
rangements have also been made in the
east to secure an advance on wheat
stored, at 75 per cent, of the. present
value of wheat. This new move has
practically cornered the Kansas crop.

A SECOND JESSE JAMES I
j
Bank i
Cashier Maple of the Exchange
at Columbus, 0., Shot and Si, 500
iq Greenbacks Stolen.
The Desperado in Leaving the Bank
Shouted. "I am a Second
. Jesse James."
Columbus, O., Aug. 8. A special to
the Evening Lispatck from Lima,' Ohio,
says: . "One of the boldest bank rob
beries and murders ever perpetrated in
this section of the country occurred this
morning at Columbus Grove, a town of
about 2,000 people twelve miles north of
here. Cashier Maple had just opened
the Exchange bank and laid out $3,000
near the cashier's window when a -man
appeared in the door with a revolver in
each band . and immediately . began
shooting. Cashier Maple was struck
twice, once in tbe arm and once in the
right side. As he 'fell to the floor
an old farmer, Wm. Standebrake
aged 60 . years, entered the door and
the robber turned and shot him dead.
Another man sat in the lobby of the
bank paralyzed with fear. Ho was not
molested. The desperado then grabbed
$1500 in greenbacks, shoved tbein into
the pocket of his coat and darted out the
door shouting "I'm a second Jesse
James." The crowd had been attracted
by the shooting but there was a scatter
ing when the , wild-eyed murderer ap
peared on the street having a "gun in
each hand and shooting indiscrimi
nately. One bystander, Henry Hack,
was' shot down by a bullet from hia re
volver. The fellow Tan to the outskirts
of the town and disappeared. The des
perado appeared to be about thirty or
thirty-hve years old. A posse was
quickly organized and started in pursuit.
It is though the wounds of Maple and
Huck are not fatal. Vanderbark, who
was killed, was a prosperous farmer in
Union township. He leaves a large
family. A special - from Wapakanet,
Ohio, says word reached here- that the
robber was overtaken in the .woods and
shot to death.
BANKKK MARSH.
He In
Believed to Re Sojourning In
Honduras.
PHii.ioEi.PHiA, Aug. 7. A neighbor
of Gideon W. Marsh, the absconding
president of the defunct Keystone- Na
tional bank, says he has good reason to
believe that Marsh is now at Tegucigal
pa, the capital of old Spanish Honduras,
in Central America. The town is locat
ed near the western end of Spanish Hon
duras and is without railway communi
cation. It takes five or six days to reach
the place from the coast and then one
has to travel by mules over a very rough
country. This is also the abidwg place
of the messenger of the New Yrk Bank
who was sent to the office of Adams' Ex
press Gompanv to ship a package con
taining $60,000. The fellow sfole the
money. Not long ago several Finkerton
men went there and arrested him, but
be escaped with the aid of the- natives,
who welcome American defaulters be
cause they spend their money freely. 1

Manager Hoag of the O. P. Railway
Makes a Statement.
San Francisco, Aug. S. Manager
William M. Hoag, of the Oregon Pacific
railway is getting ready to go to Corval
lis, Oregon, headquarters of his com
pany. Regarding the statement that
the employes of the road were anxious
for their money and were solicitous as to
when he would arrive, Manager Hoag
said the matter was greatly exaggerated
and the indebtedness was not near so
great as claimed. The total operating
expenses were less than $10,000 per
month. . The affairs of the road,, he
added, will soon be straightened out all
right. .
-'Nellie Kolse's Body Pound.
Portland, Aug. 8. A private letter
from Seaview this morning says the
body of Nellie Boise, who. was drowned
while bathing in the sarf last Wednes
day was found this morning at low tide
some distance below the point where
the drowning occurred.
Two Cases of Sunstroke.
. Minneapolis, Aug. 8. The heat today
was excessive there being two cases of
sunstroke reported, one of which will
probably result fatally.
Severe Storms in Austria and Hungary.
, Vienna, Aug. 7. Severe storms are
spoiling the crops in many districts 6f
Austria and Hungary. Several .persons
have been killed by falling trees and
houses. . - ; - .
The Hottest Day of the Year.

hottest day of the year. The signal
"service thermometer registered 93 de
grees at noon. There were several pros
trations from the effects of heat.

TAKKED AND FKATHKRED.
Snohomish Priest is Roughly Handled
' by the Citizens.
Snohomish, Wash.," Aug. 7. A crowd
cf about sixtv men went to the residence
of Father Guay last night, took him
from the house, administered a liberal
coat of tar and feathers, and gave him
twenty-four hours to leave town. The
part3' consisted of many prominent cit
izens, both Protestants and Catholics.
Guay's crimes'have thoroughly demoral
ized the town, and the feeling against
him is so strong that with difficulty the
crowd was prevented from lynching him.
He evidently had been expecting a visit
from hostile quarters, as it is said his
body was thoroughly greased, which in a
measure foiled the good effect of his de
corators. When the partv arrived the
priest ran out the back door, but was
captured. Being a very large, powerful
man he made a desperate fight, but was
quickly overpowered, stripped and
thoroughly coated. His bellowing could
be heard for five blocks, but a friendly
pocket-handkerchief stopped it. This
morning he expressed an intention of
staying in town, but a message from the
bishop ordered him to leave immediately,
which he did tonight, taking the train
for Seattle. It is reported he denies the
accusations and blames the Sisters of
Charity here for originating them. This,
of course, is false and was the im
mediate cause of the tar and feathers.
AMERICANS IX CHINA.
Letter T'rotn nu American at Hankow
Says They Are Prepared for Trouble.
New Yohk, Aug. 6. A letter from an
American gentleman at Hankow, dated
June 23, says : . '
At present we have two gunboats here.
There are at all points below here two or
three gunboats of differi-nt nations, so
that for the present the matter is quelled
in the Yangtse-Kiang river valley.
With the withdrawal of the gunboats, I
think, unless there is some radical change,
there will be trouble up and down the
river. We have organized a defence
committee here, put arms in tbe hands
of all male members of the community,
and are pretty well prepared for any
trouble that may arise. We can muster
over a hundred breechloading guns and
most of the men are experts in handling
them. We have a commander-in-chief,
our collector of customs, who is an old
soldier, and twodivision commanders, a
Russian and myself. We have signals
arranged to alarm the community in
case of a rising against us, and have two
rendezvous on the river front, to which
all women and children will bo taken in
case of necessity, and where they will be
guarded, or placed on steamers, should
there be any in port. Once the women
and children are safely disposed of, the
men will do what they can to defend the
settlement. We will make it hot for any
one who comes up our way, and don't,
make any mistake about it.
A DCEt WITH KKIVES.
It Is Fought by Italians In the Presence
of a Small Roy.
St. Louis, Aug. 7. Antonio Jen ties
and Marento Kieto fought a duel with
knives in Eaet St. Louis today, Jentles''
body now lies in the morgue. Both the -killed
and slayer were Italians. They
were brothers-it-law and both lived in St
Louis. They went to East St. Louis this "
morning, each with a basket of lemons,
and during the dav Quarreled over the-
sales. After a fev words the men went
to a secluded and vacant lot and fought;
it out with knives, a little son of thedeadJ
man, who accompanied bis father, being"
the only witness of the duel. Kieto
escaped.
Lsrgs Crops In Ransas.
New York, 'Aug. 7. Martin Mohler,
of Topeka, secretary of the Kansas board
of agriculture, said to a reporter today :
"Give the Kansas farmers two more
crops as good as the present one and
they will be oat of debt. On the farms
of Kansas are products now growing
worth $90,000,000 over and above the
amount the fanners require for their
own use. If the owners of those farms
pav, sav $25,000,000 for their groceries
an'd clothing, they will have. .t65,000,000
with which to pay their debts, and the
largest estimate ever made of farm in
debtedness was $160,000,000. These
figures are not guesswork but are based
on reports of our agents in the several
counties of Kansas. '
Heavy Rains In Minnesota.
Crookston, Minn.,-Aug. 7. A terrible
rain and hail storm passed over a part of
this country this morning, accompanied
by considerable wind. The rain was the
heaviest known in this section. In the
southern part of the county a strip of
country a .mile wide and twelve miles
long was devastated by hail. Three to
four thousand acres of standing grain
was damaged. In other parts of the
rounty much- of the heavier grain has
been badly beaten down.

that Call was not elected United States
