KILL8 GUARD AND SUICIDES: Man Who Is Said to Have Thrown Bomb at Madrid. Madrid, June 5.—The capture and suicide at Torrejon de Ardos of Man- uel Morales, the chief suspect in the bomb outrage against King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds another dramatic chapter to the incidents sur- rounding the royal wedding. Morales was recognized in the little town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway between Madrid and Alcala. A guard sought to detain him, but Morales, drawing a revolver, shot the guard dead. Then he turned to flee, but a num- ber of the inhabitants of the town were upon him and, turning the re- volver upon himself, he sent a shot into the region of his heart, expiring @ few minutes later. Senor Cuesta, proprietor oXthe hotel from the balcony: of which' Morales threw the bomb, viewed the body and identified it as that of his recent guest. ALL ALONG THE LINE. Government Claims to Have Defeated Guatemalan Rebels. Washington, June 5—The Guate- malan minister here has received a cablegiam from the minister of for- eign alfairs stating that the revolu-| tionary movement across the Salvador boundary had met with utter defeat. According to the cablegram the Guate- malan troops met the revolutionary party at Ascuncion Mita and defeated | them completely. The government forces, the cablegram says, have been triumphant all along the line and have | not met the slightest reverses any- where. Hotel Guest Cremated. Superior, Wis., June 5.—The Limlin hotel burned early in the morning and Joseph Lebeau, a guest, was burned to death. The property loss is $15,000, with no insurance. The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp. Several other guests escaped in their night clothes with minor injuries. Jummed Fingers. Few people have escaped jammed fingers, and as the pain caused when g it is jammed in a door is ex ating in the extreme for the first few minutes it is well to know of some means of relief. The finger should be plunged into water as hot as can pos- sibly be borne. This application of hot water causes the nail to expand and soften, and the blood pouring out beneath it has more room to fiow. Thus the pain is lessened. The finger should then be wrapped in a bread and water poultice. A jammed finger should nev- er be neglected, as it may lead to mor- tification of the bone if it has been badly crushed, and amputation of the finger must follow. Jammed toes are usually caused through the falling of bheavy weights and should be treated In the same way as a jammed finger. New York's First Sidewalk. The first sidewalk in New York was laid by a woman, Mrs. Samuel Pro- voost, about 1716. She was an import- er and merchant and laid the sidewalk for the convenience of her customers. Bhe had importuned the authorities to do it, but they refused, saying it was impossible. After her object lesson paving and curbing gradually came in, but for some time her sidewalk was so famous that people journeyed even from Philadelphia to see it. Bad Habits. “It would be a very bad thing if farmers ever got control of the nation- al finances.” “Why so?”’ “Because from sheer force of habit they would want to be always water- Ing the stock.”—Baltimore American.

Considerable in- terest is |eing manifested over the selection of the delegation and the election of a new chair- man, and every man who can get to the city is going to come.

Neither isit safe to predict how the dclegation will line up on the gnbernatorial question. Three or four prominent candi- dates will have warm friends on the floor and there may be a struggle shounld the different en- thusiasts fail to agree en a har- mony program.

Many of the lalteg at once broke ranks and fled back to Plum Run, but others stood their ound and. re- turned the fire. The!battle lasted fif- teen minutes. Mora than 500 shots weére exchanged andl the firing only ceased after the gudrds’ ammunition had been exhausted. | The guard then retived from the field and returned’ io Plum Run: The ambuseade, it is said, was ar- ranged because of an alleged assault upon an Italian union miner who re- fused to work. % Sheriff Vorhees, before leaving the mines, telephoned the adjutant gen- eral at Columbus to be ready to send troops if needed. An engagement between gnards and strikers also occurred at Glenns Run during the night, The men imported there have left, but strikers and guards became involved in arguments which led to blows and then shots. Nearly seventy-five shots were fired, during which Superintendent T. E. Young of Cleveland, who was at the mine directing the guard, was slightly ‘wounded. REVOLUTIONARY Official Report of Disorders at Cana. nea, Mex, ‘Washington, June 5. — Walter Thompson, the American ambassador to Mexico, has telegraphed the state department in answer to instructions relative to the Cananea disturbances that the outbreak there was revolu- tionary in character, fomented from headquarters at St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Thompson was charged to re- mind the Mexican authorities of their responsibility to care for the lives and property of the American citizens at Cananea and also to invite sugges- tions as to how our government might co-operate to that end. His conversa- tion with Minister Mariscal of the for- eign office brought forth the state- ment from that official that a revolu- tionary junta operating in St. Louis seized upon the discontent existing among the miners at Cananea to stir up a revolution directed against the Mexican government itself. Mr. Gal- braith, the American consular agent at Cananea, and Colonel Greene, the head of the copper mines located there, have also been in communication with the state department relative to the riots and the substance of their com- munications is that the laborers’ wages had been reduced from an ab- normally high scale to the ordinary Mexican basis, so the revolutionary propaganda spread rapidly among the discontented miners.

St. Petersburg, June 5—Prince Mestchersky, editor of the Grashdanin, who, before the assembling of parlia- ment, was constantly assailing the autocracy and bureaucracy, has now completely changed front and main- tains that the lower house, unless the cooler and more moderate heads stop the present tendency, is destined to become a purely revolutionary body. He calls upon President Mouromtseff to declare whether he desires to be a Pugatcheff, who led the famous peas- ant uprising“of 1775, or a Minin, the| cattle dealer of Nizhni Novgorod, who saved the country from anarchy dur- ing the interresnum preceding the es- tablishment of the Romanoffs. The emperor has received a peculiar dispatch from the Black Hundred or- ganization of Yekaterinodar asking him to imwose a censorship on the treasonable speeches of members of the lower house of parliament.

Sut- ton left the greater part of his $50,000 estate to Dowie and Speicher is ex- ecutor under the will.

Shortly after 9 o’clock the chicf and Captain Helmer started for the woods bordering on the lake and soon found traces of their man. He had created quite a dis- turbance among the women and children along the boulevard and had tried to force an entrance into Buenther’s house. The taxidermist ordered him away, and with many mutterings he weut. but only to return with threats of shooting and other dire means of death. The wild man kept out of sight of the officers, but they managed to turn his flaink and drive him back toward town and finally captured him in a downtown saloon, Once caught the fellow acted | JELEVEN PERSONS ARE DEAD 'IN TROLLEY DISASTER AT PROVIDENCE, R. I. Providence, R. I, June 5.—Eleven persons are dead, a score more are seriously injured and many others are slightly injured as the result of the overturning of a crowded electric car at Moore’s crossing, East Providence.
