Women screamed and wrung their hands and cried hysterically for fathers, brothers and loved ones who are Imprisoned In the black hole. The village of New Salem has a place In history from the fact that it was th4 home of Abraham Lincoln for six of the eventful years of his life.

It was from there thut he went to Springfield to enter upon his larger career. CHILD USED KEROSENE. "A black brute, whom the state executive appropriately called a d'evll and a fiend of hell, who perpetrated the most Infamous crime above a burning hell, that of assaulting a defenseless white girl—went to his fate and doom at the hands of a public court of patriots, and today South Carolina stands at the forefront of Southern patriotism. Tomorrow Georgia may claim the honor. Those South Carolina men upheld the honor and tradition of their great state." Kraft Home, on Curtis St. Ransacked. New York. Aug.

"I maintain that blind party allegiance tends to interfere with the aims and the objects of our government aud Is responsible for most of the political evils undw which we suffer today. We saw in New York that life insurance swindlers had contributed to the Democratic party one year and to the Republican party the next. We know that Ryan aud Rockefeller and Morgan and Belmont have no party prejudices, but conduct their politics for their own benefit and according to the maxims laid down by Jay Gould." The News then offers a thousand dollars.for a lynching In Atlanta for a similar crime, and says: Tide Gauges at Honolulu Disturbed Honolulu, Aug. 18.—The tide gauges here show a disturbance apparently of distant origin.

As diligent a set of burglars as ever took advantage of an open secondstory window operated last night In the home of George Kraft, on Curtis street. The house was gone over, as It would be In house-cleaning time, and for all their trouble the thieves were rewarded by finding $15. Nothing besides this sum of money has been missed from the house by the Kraft family. The burglars worked quietly and with dispatch, so that those sleeping in the house were not. aroused. It was not known that the house had been entered until 7:30 this morning, when Mrs. Kraft arose.

' ami Two Families Iten- "Four white women have recently been outraged In Atlanta by negroes, and but two of the assailants were caught.

The child died two hours after the fire started, after suffering terrible agony. The blaze was one of the most stubborn In the history of the Duryea fire department, and It took the most laborious work on the part of all the firemen that could be mustered to prevent the flame? from spreading to other buildings. The operator at Valparaiso stated that everything was in confusion at that place, that many houses bad been razed and that the loss of life was believed to be great, although no attempt had been made to ascertain the number.Buenos Ayres Can't Get News. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 18.—All attempts made here to obtain telegraphic communication from Chile regarding the reported earthquake were fruitless. Shall these brutes In human form be allowed to devour the white womanhood of this neighborhood?" Fire started Immediately after the first shock, and every branch of the city's service was paralyzed.

Aug. 18.—No official advices have reached here from Valparaiso.Mr. Kraft is employed as an engineer on the Lehigh Valley, and he was working last night. Mrs. Kraft and her son, George, aged nine years, were alone in the house and they retired shortly after 8 o'clock, locking themselves In their room. A window In a second-story room leading onto the roof of the front porch had been left open. The burglars presumably gained entrance by this means, climbing one of the porch posts. Every room except the one occupied by the sleepers was entered and searched thoroughly. Drawers were gone through, and every likely place of concealment for money or valuables was examined. The first floor was given the same treatment as the second. In one of the drawers of a sideboard Mrs. Kraft had placed $15, with which she intended to pay bills today. This the searchers found and took with them. They took no silverware or anything except the money, and went away through the back door, which they left wide open. Mrs. Kraft and her son were astonished at the state of affairs in the house, as they had not been disturbed In the slightest degree. « Rock Pezan, father of the little girl, lived in a double house on Chittenden street that was owned by himself and John Ruatik. Rustlk and his family occupied the other side of the hoyse. Pezan's children were playing in the kitchen last evening about 6 o'clock, while Pezan was up stairs doing some painting in one of the rooms. The fire had burned low and the little girl wanted to make it come up quickly, so she took an oil can and started to pour kerosene into the stove. The flames leaped up into her face and there was an explosion of the can that sent the flames all over the kitchen. The girl's clothing was a mass of fire in an instant, and she screamed In pain. Michael Schilling, who was nearby, 'rushed to her and finally extinguished the flre on her person by the use of a sheet. "There are trust Republicans and Lincoln Republicans, trust Democrats and Jefferson Democrats. New York, Aug. 18.—James Murtha, aged 20, a pugilist, was probably fatally shot, and James Commlsky, a brakeman, was shot in the shoulder early today in a dance hall In the rear of a saloon at No. 490 Eighth avenue. WVlllam Kellock is under arrdtt charged with the shooting. He appears to be a drug fiend and disclaims any knowledge" of the firing.

Let the people vote Independently and for the public good. Let them vote for honest men and honest means. Irrespective of party, and tliey will soon find themselves once more a great power that politicians will regard and even organized wealth will respect. There were two distinct and terrific ■hocks, the second one following almost Instantly after the first and completing the work of destruction. The day had been unusuully calm and pleasant.

She gave her name as Mrs. Wm. Prince and gave a street and number in Pittston as her address. "But the independent voter with best intention often meets with much difficulty and deception. He sometimes finite that the men he trusted have been captured by tile corporations. Unhappy examples of such cases are Grover Cleveland in his second term and District Attorney Jerome. The people supported each of these men, believing him to be their friend, and the corporations added their support, knowing him to be their chattel." After the second shock had subsided it looked as if the business part of the town was doomed. From the Bellavista section little was beard, but before midnight flres were seen burning there, and It was learned that that whole section of the city also was in peril.
