Masked Robber Killed.
Tacoma, Wash., May 24.—A «ingle
robber late this afternoon held up and
attempted to rob ati incoming car on
the Steilacoom electric line. About 4 *
miles out of the city a tall man, rough
ly dressed, hailed the car, which stop
ped, and he boarded it. As he got on
the platform he pulled a blue dotted
calico musk, having holes cut through
j f<ir eyes, down over his face, produced
a revolver and ordered Superintendent
Dame, of the motor line, and Motorman
Wellman to the rear end of the car.
They complied slowly, and he fol
lowed, ordering the men and the pas
sengers to hold up their hands and the
ladies to sit still. Dame and Wellman
had entered a rear compartment used
for carrying baggage and freight. The
robber evidently thought them safely
disjiosed of, for lie paid no more at
tention to them, but commenced reliev
ing George B. Evans, a contractor, oi
bis valuables. This done, he com
manded William E. Hacker, a broker,
to stand up and be searched. In the
! meantime, Superintendent Dame had
taken out his revolver and came in be
hind Hacker, where he awaited an op
portunity to shoot. A moment later
lie placed his arm on Hacker’ s shoulder
and fired into the robber, who returned
the fire. Dame fired two shots and
the robber three. Two minutes later,
| the robber was lying beside the car,
dead, while Dame had been shot in the
arm anil Jewett Smith, a passenger,
in the leg.
B ru ta lity in a P rison .
Philadelphia, May 24.— Today’ s ses
sion of the legislative committee inves
tigating the management of the state
penitentiaries was sensational. Sena
tor Gagerdorn, of Philadelphia, was
the star witness. He said the official
reports of tlie prison were filled with
falsehoods, and that he could prove
that the treatment of many convicts
had been brutal and cruel. He said
the institution reported there were 10
insane patients in November last, and
that investigation made by him showed
there were 50 at the time. Of these,
lie said nine are now in insane asylums
and one is dead as the result of cruel
treatment at the prison. Thirty-six of
the insane convicts, he said, are still
in cells in the prison. He instanced
the case of MeCue, a prisoner whom lie
had ordered sent from the prison to
the Northtown state insane asylum,
and who died the next day, as alleged
by the judge, from a beating he re
ceived the night before his removal.
He told of another insane convict, a
colored man named Prentice, who for
eight months had been tied to the
steam pipes every night.

Wasliingotn, May 24.— Representa

struck by a cable-car near the cornet
of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth
street and painfully injured. He re
ceived a number of severe cuts and
bruises. Mr. Tongue had just returned
from a trip with a number of senators
and represenattives to Charlottvilie
and Monticello.
He was taken to
Providence hospital, where it was

eye. No serious consequences are ap-
prelieunded.

Asotin, Wash., May 22.— A cloud
burst at some point as yet unknown,
up the little valley of Asotin creek,
cent a wall of water down the valley
late this afternoon that carried devasta
tion in its train. Stock was drowned,
houses wrecked, bridges washed out
and orchards ruined. The loss is rough
ly estimated at $100,000. The pleas
antest little valley was a continuous
orchard-garden for 15 miles above the
town.
A correspondent lias just returned
from a trip four miles up the valley.
From persons on the road it was
learned the flood extended for at least
three miles beyond that. The torrent
tore down the valley about 4:30 o ’clock
this afternoon.
A wall of muddy
water rolled through orchards and gar
dens, entirely covering the narrower
parts of the valley. Where the valley
was widest it tailed to reach entirely
across.
As far as learned no lives were lost,
but considerable stock perished. The
bouses of Robert Campbell and John
Dill were wrecked; John M iller’ s house
was carried 300 feet from its founda
tion. and many other places were more
or less damaged. Between Asotin and
a point four miles up the creek, all of
the bridges, five in number, were
washed out. Two of these belonged to
the town and three to the county.
The loss in this particular is about
$2,500.
It is thought that other
bridges were washed out further up
stream. But the chief loss was in the
destruction of orchards and gardens.
The torrent tore through these with
great fury, washing off the smaller
trees. The larger trees were left stand
ing, though they were badly damaged.
In the town of Asotin, comparatively
little damage was done, beyond wash
ing out bridges. The park was ruined.
Nothing to equal this torrent has
ever before been experienced since the
settlement of the valley.
