HE HAD TWO -WIVES.
And the Question Now la Whether His
Death was Accidental.
San Francisco, Aug. 20. July 24th
last, Carl Shorr, a mining prospector
from : Australia, was drowned while
bathing in the ocean near the Cliff
house,; in sight of his wife to whom he
had been married but a week. It was
thought Shorr left considerable property
and his wife has been trying to find it.
Today a woman who says she was Shorr's
wife arrived here from Butte, Mont.,
and met Mrs. Shorr No. 2. On compar
ing their stories, a singular story of the
drowned man's duplicity was unfolded.
Mrs. Shorr No. 1 says she was married
to Shorr ten years ago, and they accu
mulated a little property in Butte. Her
husband went to Australia and last May
wrote her to join hi m there. Instead of
waiting' for her he took passage for ban
Irancisco. With him came a Miss xay-
lor, whom he married on reaching here.
He expected by the time he reached
San Francisco that his first wife would
be on the way to Australia. Instead she
missed the steamer and it is thought
that Shorr. fearing prosecution for big
amy, committed suicide. The second
wile gave all her money to Khorr and is
now left penniless.
TUSKISH BRIGANDS.
They are
Capturing Men and Holding
Them for Ransom.
Constantinople, Aug. 20. Another
outrage by a party of Turkish brigands
is causing much uneasiness to the au
thorities of this city. An Italian rail
road inspector at work about seventy
mites from Salonica was abducted by
the brigands, and is supposed to be held
a prisoner- pending the payment of a
heavy ransom. The body of a murdered
railroad man was found near the spot
where the inspector was last seen.
Sio news is received up to date 01 tlie
Frenchmen Ruffier, who started about a
week ago to ransom his employer, Kay
mond, who was held a prisoner by the
brigands.
Switchmen on a Strike
Peoria, 111., Aug. 20. A etrike is iu
progress in this city by the switchmen
employed by the Peoria & Pekin Union,
a line which is the terminal for the- Big
Four, the Jacksonville, Southeastern,
the Lake Erie & Western, the Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville, the Terre Haute
& ErieaQid- the Peoria & Western roads,
all of them being involved, or rather be
ing discommoded by this strike. The
grievance is the general yardmaster, Mr.
Bell, who has lately advanced a man in
preference to some of the extras who
have been working for the road. Only
mail trains were allowed to leave the
city till noon today, when the passen
ger service was restored. Freight busi
ness is at a standstill, no trains being
made up or going out of the yards.
There is a great deal of perishable
freight now on hand. The probabilities
of a settlement are not good at present.
Chicago's People's Party.
Chicago, Aug. '20. At the Grand
Pacific were taken the first practical steps
towards the establishment in Chicago of
a people's party. The conference was a
secret one, held because of the presence
in the city of W. F. Wrightmire, secre
tary of the national citizens industrial al
liance, as well as of the board of organ
ization of that body. Preparatory work
.has been .formed in nearly all of the
wards, while nearly 10,000 names have
been pledged to the support of principles
and the candidates of a third party.
The work of organization will continue
to be pushed.

About 250. Macon, Mo., Ruined
by Heavy Rains.

Two Hundred and Eighteen Killed.
Paris, Aug. 21. The latest reports
from "the Island of Martinique, state
218 people were killed by the recent
cyclone. This is in the coast towns ; the
interior has not been heard from yet,
and until reports are received from there
the total number of killed will not be
known It is thought the number of
dead in the interior towns will be equal
to or greater than in the coast towns.
A. Destructive Bain. -
Macon, M6., Aug. 21. The heavy
rain the past few days caused the Chari
ton river and the Muscle fork running
through the western portion of Macon
county to overflow. Hay, wheat, oats,
stacks and shocks were washed away.
Cornfields and fences were destroyed
and a large amount of live stock drowned
It is "feared railroad and wagon bridges
will be washed out. It is impossible to
estimate the loss caused by high water
but it is tremendous.
AMONG THE BA1LKOAVS.
Rate War Inaugurated Yesterday in Pas
senger Kates Chicago to New York.
Cincinnati, Aug. 20. A big rate war
was inaugurated here today to New
York, caused by the Baltimore & Ohio
making an excursion rate at $15.50 to
Atlantic City, which is less than the rate
one way. The Erie notified the Balti
more & Ohio several days ago that if it
did not withdraw the rate immediately,
a rate of one fair would be made to New
York. The Baltimore & Ohio declined
to withdraw the rate, and the Erie an
nnouced a one-fare round-trip rate to
New York, effective August 25. The
"Big Four," Chesapeake & Ohio, and
Pennsylvania, met the rate today. The
action of the Baltimore & Ohio, it is al
leged, is a direct violation of the trunk
line agreement. The demoralization of
rates will probably extend to other
points. . The Western lines, it is reported
have demanded differential rates.
llesnlt of Pure Cussedness.
Bradford, Pa., Aug. 20. Anson L.
Pratt, fireman of the Campbell Lumber
road, was killed today, and John Galvin,
engineer, and an unknown man fatally
injured. Pratt and Galvin, in making
up the train left one car at the top' of a
steep grade, placing a block of wood un
der the wheel to hold it, while they
pulled another car from a siding. Two
young men coming along, knocked the
block from beneath the wheels jmd the
car started down the grade. One of the
young men was on the car which he had
helped to start, but becoming frightened
at the speed it attained, he jumped and
was fatally injured. The car smashed
into the engine and wrecked it, the car
also being wrecked.
' No One Seriously Injured. -
Swansea, Wales, Aug. 20. Ten thous
and people were assembled at the
National Eisteddford, or musical society,
when a cloudburst occurred. The canvas-covered
pavilion, in which the com
petitions in Welsh minstrelsy were be
ing held, collapsed, but, though a panic
ensued in the audience of 10,000 and
many were trampled under foot during
the rush for shelter, no one was seriously
injured. It is probable that the session
of 1893 of this society will be held in
Chicago.
v. The Scaffolding Gave Way.
Berlin, Aug. 20. A dispatch from
Nordenham, Ogdenburg, says a scaffold
collapsed today, killing ten men and ser
iously injuring forty others. In .addi
tion, fifty workmen were precipitated
into the wUter, but most of them were
saved through clinging to the planks
and poles belonging to the fallen scaffold
ing. Four of these have since suc
cumbed. Must Stay at Home.

THE SAVIOR'S GOAT.
Thousands of Pilgrims Gather to Look
at the Sacred Garment.
London, "Aug. 20. A dispatch from
Treves says the public exhibition of the
holy coat said to have been 'worn by the
Savior was begun today. Tho exhib
ition was inaugurated by a pontifical
service conducted by the bishop, after
which the people of the parish of St.
Gangolphin, Treves, opened the series of
pilgrims' procession. The coat was in a
glass case on the high marble staircase
behind the high altar. A largs cross, il
luminated by gas, haa been erected over
the place where the relic is shown and
nve nags were hoisted on the root ot the
cathedral. A great multitude was in at
tendance to .see the holy coat, and phy
sicians are overrun with applications
for certificates on the part of the pil
grims who wish to touch the garment
with the hope of being cured of disease.
Neither the diocesan authorities or the
great and increasing throng of pilgrims
apparently pay any attention to the
charges affecting the authenticity of the
holy coat.
ACCiBESTALLY SHOT.
For Want of Attention a Man Bleeds to
Death.
New YonK, Aug. 20. The last day of
the Piatt Deutsche fest at Union Hill
was marked by biooasneo. adoui o
o'clok last evening several visitors to the
fest were shooting at ranges. A crowd
of boys was dangerously nepr the tar
gets, and John Shurer, one of the spec
ial policemen, was . sent to drive them
away. While he was clearing the
ground he was struck in the leg by a
stray bullet. The blood gushed forth
with the spurt that always accompanies
a severed artery. A crowd gathered
around the wounded man, but no one
seemed to know enough to staunch the
flow of blood. The only concern was to
get Shurer to the Hoboken hospital. A
brewery wagon was secured and Shurer
was bundled into it. He was hurried to
St. Mary's hospital, but just as he was
placed on a cot he died. The physi
cians say an artery was severed and that
Shurer bled to oeatn. ne was an ex
policeman of Union Hill, and leaves a
family. It was not known who fired
the ehot.
