His only regret was that he did not kill the rest of the family. Tracy and the pursuing posse engaged in another bloodless battle in which 16 shots were fired by the officers and two by the outlaw. It is thought probable that Tracy was wounded, although it was so dark at toe time that it was impossible to see the fleeing man.

One day’s record at Philadel phia and New York shows six deaths at each place. , Tracy continues to give the ofli ers in pursuit of him the slip.

Members of the posse .uid the people in general in the section where Tracy has been the past week, express the opinion that the outlaw is insane. The special board of engineers to in vestigate the Harts project at The Dalles will probably not meet until September, which is much later tnan at first proposed.

Chicago teamsters refuse to striking freight handlers. help Ambassador Choate has been sug gested as a candidate for president in 1904. A man answering the description of Merrill has been arrested at South Bend, Wash. Twenty thousand teachers are in at tendance at tiie national educational convention in Minneapolis. The expenses of the Oregon militia while hunting Tracy and Merrill amounted to $700, which will be paid out of the military fund. All organized labor and the pnblic in general will be called upon to contrib ute to a national defense fund to aid the striking coal miners in the East. A family of four traveling overland through Oklahoma were murdered by unknown persons, the bodies stripped of all clothing and terribly mutilated. Tracy, after an absence of tgro days, again showed up in South Seattle. He was surrounded by officers, but succeed ed in throwing posse off the track. He sprinkled pepper along his trail so the dogs could not follow it. A train wreck in Spain resulted in the death of six persons and the fatal injury of 27. Tracy, the escaped Oregon convict, has completelv disappeared, leaving no trail whatever.

The apportionment of funds made does not provide for sewer, water and heating systems, for which additional funds will be allotted later. In the construction of all builidngs, local tim ber will be used, as experience lias taught that on the Pacific coast frame buildings are a great deal cheaper and equally as satisfactory as brick.

Johnstown, l ’a., July 12.— Johns town iiaa agaiu been visited by an ap palling disaster, only less frightful than the awful calamity of May 31, 1889, in cost of life. A terrible ex- ploaion took place in the Cambria Steel Company’s Bolling M ill mine, under Westmont hill, early yesterday after noon, and how many are dead will take several days fully to determine. That it is a long and shocking list that may reach 200 or more men is fully be lieved. It was an hour after the explosion liefore any general knowledge of what had hapjiened |goi abroad. Men who came from the mines, escaping with their lives, told the terrible news, and soon it spread like wildfire all over the city. In s< ores of homes there were most pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and relatives were frantic with grief, and hundreds rushed to tiie scene. At the opening across the .‘.river from the point the Cambria Iron company police, with several assistants, stood guard, permit ting no one to enter tiie mine, from which noxious gases were coming. It was nearly 4 o'clock when all hope of sending rescue parties from the Westmont ojioning was abandoned. Two men who had escajied went hack two miles to see what assistane could be rendered, but the frightful damp drove them back, and they fell pros trate when they finally, after a desper ate struggle, reached the outside. Two doctors gave them assistance, and. after working with them half an hour, re stored them. Their story of the situa tion in the mine made it clear that the rescue work could not proceed from the Westmont opening, and then hasty prej>arations were made to begin that sad mission at the Mill Creek entrance.
