The Japanese killed were shot by Americans 011 Attn island before the MeCullooli arrived. Lads who were playing about on the river bank, say that one of the men in the boat took off hi» clothing and while leaning far over the side, fell out into the swift current. The men in the boat saved themselves a ducking by pulling away from their friend who struggled for a few moments and then sank. After Carlln had been under water for some minutes, the men in the boat returned to the spot and one of them dived a number of times, without however, locating the body. Grappling irons were secured and local parties assisted in the search until dark without success.—Towtuirta Review. Chicago, Aug. 8. — Theodore Htenaland, vice president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was arrested on a charge of violating the banking laws of tho state. Earlier In the day the institution was placed in the hands of a receiver, and Paul O.-Stenslaud, president of the bank and of the vice president, together with Cashier Bering, were officially declared fugitives from justice and their personal descriptions placed in tbc hands of the police throughout the country. Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 8.—The most destructive hailstorm in yearfe has prevailed throughout the western and southern parts of the state since Sunday. Resulting floods have caused the loss of many lives, thousands of people have been rendered homers and the property damage has been enormous. Nine Inches of rain fell Sunday and twelve inches yesterday. Many towns along the banks of the Colorado and Concho rivers have been entirely inundated. St. Petersburg, Any. 8. While UC Workmen's council lias decided .to off th« strike In tlila city, r.-;:Dr-C 'ir oilier cities and, lrom the provhife-' dicatje that the /tv.'n'kmcn there arc stil. determined to Uuid out. The leaders ot the revolutionary' movement tiere dCD not believe, however, that the men refv.ru to work in this cay the workmen of the provinces will con tlnue the strike. Should they decide to remain out, however, they will receive the support of the workers of St. Petersburg.During the same storm Daniel Carnright, an aged resident of Armenia was killed. lie was at the home of his son, at Columbia, a village in the northern section of the county, when he met death. The fireworks display to bo given will be particularly elaborate and will include a large nutnber of special three break aerial booms, which represent the very .highest possible attainment of the pyrotechniclan's art. Several houses were struck lightning and slightly damaged. The city of Brownxvood Is flooded with water from one to six feet deep. Over 600 people are homeless there and are either camping out with their household goods or are being sheltered by friends. A strip oj| country thirty miles in length and from two to four miles wide is covered with water and the damage to crops is very large. ANNUAL REUNION OF GRAVITY MEN A big force of electricians has been engaged for the past few days stringing wires in the upper end of the park, which will be beautifully illuminated with Japanese lanterns, as will also the lower end of the park and the roadway leading from the main entrance to the lake. Developments show that the finances of the failed Institution are In a depioruble condition and have been for a number of years. Besides the discovery of many Irregularities In the management of the bank it has been found that even the safety deposit boxes owned and rented by the bank had been tampered with and rilled. All the Indications arc that the calling of the general strike was badly timed. Many of the trades unions refused absolutely to Join in the movement, and the railroad men, without whom the strike could not succeed, refused to give the signal to go out. Preparations are being madfe by the employes of tho Pennsylvania Gravity railroad for thoir annual re union. The general committee in charge of the event met recently and voted ttD accept tho Invitation of the Delaware and Hudson men to be their guests this seasop, and Farview was spoken of as tho scene of the affair. As this Is no longer an excursion resort, it Is Believed that Carbondale may be selected. The Carbondale centennial committee will ask for the reunion to meet in that city on Sept. 3, so that it may form one of the leading features of the demonstration that day. Tho reunion committees convene In Carbondale Friday night to discuss its plans. Lawrence O. Murray, acting secretary of commerce and labor, -promptly turned the cable dispatch over to ltobert Bacon, acting secretary of state. Mr. Bacon will In)mediately communicate the Information he has received to the Japanese ambassador and will express regret that the Japanese poaciiers were so summarily dealt with by the Americans on Attu Island. FOREIGNER DIED F#OM INJURIES. Anthony Mojinncttl Passed Away Karly Tills at llie_ Pitts- Six hundred feetD of railway tracki was washed out at Balllnger and forty bales of cotton floated down the Colorado river. A man and his team were drowned In the collapse of a bridge over the river. GRADE CROSSINGS TO BE ABOLISHED. The ministry of the interior has issued a statement describing the strike as a complete failure, it having attained serious dimensions nowhere except In St. Petersburg and Moscow. The statement says further that the factory inspectors are of the opinion that most of the factories will be working full strength before the end of the week. ton Hospital The specific charge on which Theodore Stenslnnd was arrested was that of having accepted deposits ut the bank when he knew the institution to be insolvent. He has been released on $5,000 bond. Anthony Mononetti, the foreigner who was Injured In the Barnum colllery yesterday, died early this morning in Plttston hospital. When he was first admitted it Was not thought he was fatally injured, but it was found that he had been hurt internally. Mononetti was a married man and lived with his family on South Main street. Undertaker Howell took charge of his body. Another dangerous grade crossing is to be abolished by the Lackawanna road. Work was commenced on Monday at the grade crossing a few hundred feet above the Dalton depot. This Is one of the most dangerous crossings on the line as the buildings on the easterly side of the railroad are so close to the tracks that the view is obstructed until you are almost on the tracks. At that crossing an underground highway will be constructed. The bridge work will be of iron as the company decided over a year ago to use no more wood in these structures than was absolutely necessary. The eicavation for the roadway will begin about 200 feet east of the track and will continue nearly 500 feet. It will take about 60 days to complete the work. San Angelo has been Isolated since Sunday on account of high water In the Concho river. On the Bismarck farm a man, his wife and three children were drowned when the Concho broke over its banks. The rise in both the Colorado and Concho rivers is in excess of thirty feet. Law Against Poaching. Because of the encroachment of Japanese fishermen and sealers in Alaskan waters congress was obliged during the session Just ended to enact two laws calculated to encourage the fishlug industry of Alaska among Americans and to prohibit Japanese and other aliens front engaging In it. Kept on Taking In Money. The warrant for the arrest of the vice president was sworn by J. P. Stfaul). a liquor dealer, who declared that last Saturday he deposited .$.'C50 lu the bank and that Theodore Stensland as one of the officers of the Institution wliud knowledge then that the bank was insolvent. Straub contends that the vice president should have notified the acting officers of the bank not to receive any deposits, but that this had not been done, and his money was taken in violation of the banking laws. /' Land Question Under Advisemont. Trains on th« St. Louis and San Francisco railroad are tied up at Madill, Indian Territory, a bridge being washed out there. Wires are down north of Madill and 'Frisco passenger trains are going out of Texas over Hie tracks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. y Railroad tracks are washed out for grilles. A pile driver, sent with 200 laborers, from Fort Worth, was unable to proceed further than Brownwood. 'v The government, it was said by a high official, now that the strike is practically over, intends to follow its programme of "strong handed reform." In order to avoid the laud riots and the burning of big estates by the peasants t'he cabinet is now considering a real apportionment of land among the peasants and the ending of communistic land holding. COMMISSIONER HURT. SURREY IN TREE. The cable dispatch from Mr. Sims does not make entirely clear the character of the offense of which the Japanese were guilty, but It does show (hat the officers and crew of the McCulloeli were In 110 way responsible for the killing of the fishermen aud that those who were captured were trespassers 011 American territory, having come ashore probably to salt and cure their catch. County Commissioner Victor Burscheli, of Lackawanna county, was painfully hurt at an early hour this morning while lighting fire in Dunmore. The commissioner Is a member of one of the Dunmore fire companies. He was helping to lay a line of hose when the chimney of the burning building fell and he and Charles Schultz, another fireman, were caught Tieneath It. Mr. l)ursehell was injured about the back and head and was removed to his home, wherexhe will be confined for some days. The burning building, which belongs to ltocco Rlccardo, was damaged to the extent of $2,81)0. An odd runaway accident which ended with a surrey at the top of a cherry tree occurred yesterday at Sayre. S. W. Taylor, a merchant of that place, was in the surrey. He was trying a new hish spirited team and a new sut'rey when the horses shied at something and ran away, dashing directly at a young cherry tree. The neckyoke struck the tree and bent it down, while the momentum pulled the body of the surrey directly over it. At the same moment Kdward Houghton and Edward ltockett each seized one of the horses and stopped them. TXe tree, recovering, hoisted the surrey and Taylor into the air and there they remained for several minutes when, the surrey tipped, went over on its side and slid back to earth. Taylor was slightly bruised and the tree was badly damaged. The promises that the elder Mteusland would appear in Chicago were not fulliiled. and it is the belief of the police, based upon dispatches from several northern cities, that he has tied into Canada. Cashier Herlng, sought on a similar warrant, is thought to have reached the Dominion by another Premier Stolypiu believes that the peasants will be ready' to listen to a plan that means the distribution of land immediately and that they will gladly accept less than they expect at present when they realize that they can get the hind at once. The administration believes that this move will only rally the peasants to Its side. TIN SHOWER. All telephone connections are  off and bridges on the Santa Fe Railway have been swept away, destroying th§ truin service. There is 110 reason to expect international complications ns a result of the Incident, but there is 110 question that the situation in the Aleutian islands, especially as It affects the Japanese, is a delicate one and that numerous difficulties are almost certain] to be encountered In enforcing thi laws protecting American citlzensl and their rights. x An interesting and novel social gathering took place this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock In the lecture room of the First Presbyterian church, on Broad street. The children of the church and Sunday school were ltiisited to come together for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the new pastor, Rev. Mr. Rinker and his wife, and a large number of boys and girls gathered in the lecture room, where each one was presented to the pastor and his wife, being made cordially welcome by them and the older members of the church who were In attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Rinker were pleasantly surprised to find that the children, acting on the suggestion of their teachers and parents, had brought with them as gifts to the pastor and his wife a great variety of tinware that will be very serviceable when they begin housekeeping, as' they expect to do shortly. The reception thus took the form of a "tin shower", so that In addition to being a very pleasant social gathering It also had a very practical and generous side. Persons made homeless by the flood have In some towns sought refuge in churches. Provisions and"clothes have been rushed to the sufferers. route. Depositor* May Reoovor. One man on horseback was lost—mm. while trying to warh the inhabitants along the Colorado river. A mother and three children at San Angelo perished in sight of a score of men who were unable to attempt a rescue. The mother was in the upper irtory of a house when it suddenly collapsed. Although the government has announced I fib policy It will pursue, it is hard to sue Just how It will obtain the tgobey with which to buy the laud for distribution, although, as a result of the agrarian disorders, the holders of the great tracts are willing to sell at a reasonable figure. DYNAMITE EXPLOSION. The day's developments were productive of the llrst ray of hope for the depositors, who had believed their savings of years swept away in the wreck. David It. Forgan, vice president of the First National bank, and such of those to whom the status of the defunct bank's affairs has been laid bare, declared that probably 70 cents on the dollar would be paid In the dual adjustment. , About 2 o'clock this morning, the people residing; in the vicinity of Seventh avenue and Wyoming street, Carbpndale, were awakene'd by a terrific explosion. Investigation revealed that s(jme person had dynamited a pole belonging to- the Pennsylvania Telephone Co. in front of th« residence of J. W. White. Not only was the pole shattered, but many windows In neighboring houses were broken. It Is supposed that the explosion was instigated by some person who objected to the telephone company erecting a line on the street in trues* TRAINMEN ARRESTED. MAUDE GONNE REFUSED DIVORCE A Philadelphia C& Heading freight train blocked the crossings of four streets at South Bethlehem, last evening, and Interfered with the firemen while they were responding to an alarm, causing a great deal of hard feeling against the train crew, who narrowly escaped being mobbed. The fire houses are on the south side of the tracks and the fire was on the north side. The train crew refused to move their train to allow passage for the engines, and the speedy arrival of the local police, who arrested four of the crew, saved them from being injured by the enraged mob. The fire was a small affair and was W. D. Jones, d, farmer and his family of ten, were surrounded in their home by the water and drowned before they could escape. The overflow in the Colorado will reach Austin tomorrow and then it will sweep down the rich and cultivated valleys for more than three hundred miles to the Gulf.

Word was recelyed of the destruction of Prince Kotzelnie's estate, near Poltava. Not only were the houses and barns burned, but all the horses and cattle perished In the flames. Paris, Aug. 8.—The courts today rendered their decision In the suit of Maud Gonne McBride, the "Irish Joan of Arc," for divorce from her husband, Majot; McBride, who was a prominent member of the Irish brigade during the Boer war, refusing to grant the divorce asked by the wife. The separation granted Mrs. Mc- Bride a year ago, allowing her vthe custody of their child, will stand. The affairs of the bank are said to be in an almost hopeless tangle, and more irregularities ure being disclosed us the examiners go deeper luto the books. President Nteusland loaned money to himself, it is alleged, by the subterfuge of having employees sign notes. Specific instances came to light during the day of the looting of the safety deposit boxes. One in particular to which the attention of the police was called was that of Mrs. Lydia- Herman, who declared that JfSlDO of her funds bad been taken. Polioe Seize Arms.

MINER DIES SUDDENLY The decree of separation was granted to Mrs. McBride on Aug. !) of last year, as the efforts of the court to effect a reconciliation between the parties proved fruitless. An absolute divorce was then asked .which Is settled by today's decision. The domestic troubles of the Me Brides attracted a great deal of attention on account of their prominence In the Irish cause. David Aston, aged 45 years, a resident of Spring Brook, died very suddenly yesterday morning. He was employed as a miner in the Spring Brook colliery, of the Delaware & Hudson Co.

It will be recalled that at the recent excursion of the Presbyterian Sunday school these teams had a contest, with the result that the married men came out victorious. The single men were rather disappointed with the result, but the players were a unit in the opinion that they could do better on second trial, so they issued a challenge a few days ago for another game on Saturday.
