tempted to capture Constautin Rigoher
to, who bad a fortified house on the hill.
In the conflict 50 soldiers were killed.
The result of the battle is. not given. As
the dispatch was sent a report was re
ceived of a revolt on the island of Fer
nando de Noronba." Agents 'of Admiral
Hello corrupted some of the guards, who
allowed part of the convicts to get arms'.
They revolted and entrenched themselves,
and were threatening to capture the fort
and turn the island over to the rebels. A
number of guards, and soldiers were
kilted in tbe conflict. Tbe insurgent war
vessels ure expected there to hep liber
ate all the' convicts to the Dumber of
1000 or 2000, and take tbem to Rio to
figi t the government. It is understood
a government cruiser wng sent there to
suppress the revolt and defend the island
against the Insurgents. -

Died By Their Own Hands.
St. Paul, Dec. 30 It is "believed tbat
a suicide club exists in the northwest,
with nt least two living members in St.
Paul.- - A third. member committed sui
cide the day before Christmas. Two
other deaths can be traced to tbe same
source. They occurred in Milwaukee,
and were tbe daugb:er of Herman Nun
nemacher acd ber lover. Chritimas day
there was buried here Miss O'Rourke, of
Dulutb, who committed suicide by tak
ing carbolis acid, and yesterday Ella
O'Rourke, her sister, who had been liv
ing at the home of another sistsr, Mrs. J.
N. Dougherty, also took carbolic acid
and died. Tbe, daughter of Herman
Nunnemacber and her lover committed
suicide iu the same way. Now . Mrs
Dougherty is being watched with lynx
eyes to see that she does not commit sui
cide. Her husband admits; that sbe
wishes to.. v The clue to the mysterious
deaths, which occurred from no known
cause, as all the. parties were apparently
happy aud free from care, is given in a
telegram from West Superior. This says
tbat the suicides are tbe fulfillment of
an agreement between the families tbat
each one is to die at a certain time, and
friends in West Superior vouch for the
truth of this statement. '.
