Terrible Iowa Tragedy. AN AWFUL NIGHT'S WORK AT

SHENANDOAH "

AN INFURIATED POPULACE.

Frank Gallop Kills a Good Cltldi, K«*

Minis Capture. Ktlln a Militiaman, and

Wounds Two Otbtn—HU CorpM

Dragged Through the Streets.

SHBNAKDOAH, la., Aug. 18.—Great ex­citement still prevails here oyer the terrible tragedy of Saturday night. Hun­dreds of people come to the city from the surrounding country by special trains to visit the scene of the conflict. Continued streams of people have been passing all day to and from the Gullop residence to view the Tjddy of the dead murderer as it lay in the city fire engine house. The lateness of the hour prevented full particulars of the murder and the events following from being sent out.

At.the home of the Gallop family, con-. sisting of old Samuel Gallop, his wife,

Frank and Charlie, their two sons, Frank's wife, and some small children, a family row was in progress about 9 o'clock. Frank and Charlie were beat­ing the old man when F. J. Pine, a hard­ware merchant of this place, William Iieinig, a, drng clerk, and Mr. Patterson, a traveling man, went to the Gallop house to see what the trouble was and to assist in restoring peace. Frank Gal­lop, >wlthout any provocation or warn­ing, advanced from the house and draw­ing a revolver, said: ''What'do you want here? Take that, d—dyou."

He fired a shot whioh entered Pine's breast above the heart, killing Mm al­most instantly. Those with Pine at once gave the alarm, and in a very few min­utes at least GOO angry and exolted citi­zens wore at tfto scene, of the murder. The excitement grew so intense that dire threats of vengeance were made against the murderer. Frank Gallop was known to bo a desperate man when aroused, and it was deemed beBt to call on company K, of the Fifth regiment state militia, to assist in capturing him.

On arrival of! the militia at the scene, a line was formed around the Gallop place, Whioh included a garden contain­ing some trees and shrubbery. In a short time Frank Gallop was heard by one of the guards in the rear of the house call-

. ing from the shrubbery in the garden to his wife in the house. At the same time aid man Gallop and his wife were assur­ing those in frc-nt of the house that their son Fraak Gallop was not there, but had fled, and invited them to enter and search the house, and satisfy themselves of the truth of their state-

• ments. Having no suspicion of treachery Bert Rice, Dave Campbell, T. E. Parker-

. eon, A Chicago traveling man, T. H. Winfrey and others, went to the house. They had searched the cellar and were coming out of It when Frank Gallop ap­peared armed with two revolvers. i)ave

„ Campbell,, who was unarmed, grappled , with him at the door and received a prob­ably latal wound in the neck from the

s desperado's revolver. Standing over the prostrate form of Catiipbell the despe­rado reloaded his revolver with cartridges handed him by one of the women from within the house, and commenoed an in­discriminate flre upon those inside. His next shot took effect on T. H. Winfrey, wounding him in the leg slightly. He

- then started to ran toward the rear of the house, and encountered Militiaman Bbrt Rioe. Both fired almost at the same instant. Rice's shot, it seems, did not take effect, but the shot from Gallop's pistol entered Rloe's breast, and -he died in a few momenta. Gallop then encountered Morris Fletcher, another mil laman, who raised his gun under his arm, he being too close to bring it to his shoulder. With the mus­cle almost touching Gallop's back he

, fired. The ball passed clear through Gallop's body. It was not yet known that Gallop was dead, and preparations were continued for a closer investigation,

•;v »nd to prevent any further 1<MS of life by the other members of Che family.

... In a short time Frank Gal" lop's wife appeared, and; stated that her husband was dead, but fearing further treachery, a rope WHS passed to

: her, with Instructions to put- it around his neck. She complied, and In this manner the body of the dead desperado was pulled from Where it lay at the rear of the house, f ach was the fury of the mob that the corpse was dragged through the streets el the end of the rope.

Old man Gallop and his wife have becyt arrested aud sent to Clariuda, to stand trial as accomplices in the night's terrible deeds.

F. J. Fine, the murdered man, was a hardware merchant of this place, very highly respected, and a member of the Knights of Pythias. He leaves a young

-wife and two children. Bert Rice, the dead militiaman, lived

' near Imogens. He was unmarried. Old man Gallop was wpundfcd, in the

affray, but it is not known whether it was at the hands of his son, or those.on the oateide. The Gallop family has re­sided here about eight years, and has had rather an unsavory reputation.

Earthquakes and ap­palling noise ensued, followed by showers of led rau<l, mingled with small stones and occasional boulders. Sheets of daz­zling flame also proceeded from the Bandal San, and the mountain suddenly seemed to rise up and then fallback with a tremendous crash. A few inches of ashes fell upon the red mud. The five villages of Iwaae, Yosan, Wakamiya, Misalo and Hibara, were overwhelmed by the debris to the depth of from seven to twenty feet. Up to the 17th 476 bodies had been recovered and forty-one of the wounded, aad it was be­lieved that sixty-one dead remained entombed. Eighty-seven houses were destroyed. The bodies of the dead were so burned and cut to pieces as to bp in many cases unrecognizable. The inhab-t&nts of Inawashlre and adjacent villages saved themselves by fleeing to Waka-matza when the eruption begun,and also saved much of their furniture. The wounded are in a terrible condition, some having fractured skulls, others broken limbs, and all badly burned. There are 1,000 persons in need of help.

MB. FABNELL'S SUIT.

An Effort to Offaet the Propoaed Star Chamber Proceeding!.

LONDON, Aug. IS. —Mr. Parnell's move in proseouting his suit against the Times in the Scotch court, is one which yields advantages which he could not by any possibility secure in ' any other part of tke kingdom. The Scotoh law does not require proof of publication as the basis of an action, as is the case in England, nor does it require that the jury should be unanimous in Its verdiot, a majority of three jurors being sufficient to deter­mine an issue. The bringing of the ac­tion in Scotland has the approval of all the Parnellltes and most the Liberals. Concerning the matter, Mr. James Bryce, Liberal member for Aberdeen, says in his paper, The Weekly Dispatoh, that every friend of Mr. Parneil is confident that it will be the means of frustrating the Infamous star chamber proceedings authorized by the; commission, and can not fall to result in the Irish leader's vindication. Mr. Parneil has retained Rt. Hon. John Balfour, member for Claiokmoonen, and Mr. Alexander Ash-er, Q. C., member from Elgin, two of tho cleverest edvocates in the kingdom, and they may bo relied upon not to miss a single teohnlcal advantage m tho con­duct of the case.

Conditions Slightly Improved In the North, While the South Still Suffer*.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.~The weather crop bulletin for the week ending Satur­day,- Aug. 11, says:

Reports from "~v England, the middle and South Atlantic states. districts north of the Ohio river, and from Kansas, Mis­souri aud southern Nebraska, indicate that the favorable weather in those sec­tions during the past week generally Im­proved the conditions of crops, especially of corn, although some damage from wind and rain is reported from seotions of Ohio and Missouri. Excessive rainfall and cool weather in Minnesota and northern Nebraska, are reported as re­tarding the growth of crops and delaying the harvest.

The rainfall during the week in cotton and tobacco regions ol the lower Missis* slppt valley was not sufficient to remove the indications of drought previously re­ported from that section, and crops are still suffering from want of rain. Light frosts occurred in northwestern Minne­sota and in Michigan Friday, but no damage is reported.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.—Nearly every member of the Brotherhood of Locomo­tive Engineers who participated in tho Druids' hall conference has left the city. A few sat about the corridor of the La clede hotel discussing tho quadrangular "cdmbine." The arrangement by which

pooling of interests was effected be-englneers, firemen, brake-switebmen was generally and it was stated that be ratified, beyond n

tho grand lodges of each of these orders. The chairmen of the var­ious grievance committees will immedi­ately send to the chairman of the divis­ion grievance committees an authorized statement of tho proceedings at the con­ference, and by them it will be at onco communicated to the men at their regu­lar brotherhood division meetings. Said one engineer: "The Burlington strike was the only one of importance the Brotherhood has ever lost, if, Indeed, they have lost that one. The strike was not made with tho entire ap­proval of Grand Chief Engineer Arthur, but by our charter, the grievance committee on the Burlington had a right to order it, and their action was sustained by the Brotherhood. A principal object of discussion at the St. Louis meeting was the elimination from the Brotherhood constitution of the clause, which forbids concerted Action with other branches of the railway ser­vice. The engineers have heretofore held themselves aloof from all labor troubles that were not entirely and dis­tinctly their own, and have gj,ven neither aid or encouragement to strikes among other classes of employes. This clause in the constitution, after a deal of argu­ment, was finally modified so as to per­mit the union in matters pertaining to railway troubles. This union haB long been fought by the switchmen, firemen and brakesmen, and at length they have gained their point. That it will be one of colossal strength admits of no doubt. It plaocs the cause of organized labor in a position to demand a respectful hear­ing from any road, for in the event of a refusal to amicably settle matters on fair terms, nearly every man concerned in the running of trains can immediately be called out.

Said another: "The Burlington has, lost $4,000,000 since the beginning of the strike. The losses have been in de­creased business, whioh has been de­flected to rival roads by friends of labor, and by injury to locomotives and rolling stock by the employment of incompetent men. A first-class locomotive costs $9,-000, and it may be so damaged by the burning of flues, or otherwise, that a single run will necessitate a general over­hauling at a cost of hundreds of dollars."

A gentleman, not a member of the Tailway service, but who has been an in­terested observer of the actions of the convention, said yesterday that the con­certed action plan, if adhered to, would be the death knell of the Brotherhood. That organization, under Mr. Arthur's conservative management, had been re­garded by the people generally with favor, and this high estimate would bo ended when it was known that he had placed himself, partially or wholly, in the hands of such hot-heuded leaders as the switchmen's strike at Chioago had brought to the front. Things had now reaohed a crisis, and the first collision between an offending rail­way and the new "combine" will be watched by the business Interests of the country as mopt Important and liable to jeopardize trade and travel. A revolu tion in popular opinion that would array the people against the railway employes would have a powerful effect in produc­ing a conciliating policy or dreadful bloodshed. .

A Woman Cow hided.. W II.MINGTON, N. C., Aug.13. — A mysteri­

ous aff air. occurred here in one of the public streets after midnight, which was wit­nessed by several residents. A buggy drove through the street, and the occu­pants were a lady and gentleman driv­ing leisurely. When it was near tlie city hospital a man suddenly stepped from behind a tree-box and stopped the horse. He said in a quiet voice: "Now get out of the buggy." The lady did so, and the man pulled a cowhide from be­neath his coat and began beating her un­mercifully. She stood still as he rained the blows upon her head and shoulders, and she made no outcry. The occupant of the buggy irove rapidly off as soon as the cowhide was drawn. After the man had used the cowhide vigorously for awhile, he said in the same quiet tone: "Now go home." She staggered on in front of him. Though the sharp leather made heavy welts upon her neck and shoulders through the white dress that shp wore, she did not flinch. Several residents witnessed the scene from their bedroom windows, but it was all so quickly and quietly done that it was over before they could interfere.

CliaUworth Survivor*' Meeting. PEORIA, Ills., Aug. 13.—One year ago

the fatal Chatsworth train started on tho Toledo, Peoria and Western railway with 600 excursionists bound for Niagara. While their friends at home were calmly sleeping the excursionists were lying piled up on the prairie between Piper City and Chatsworth, dead, dying and wounded.

In commemoration of the disaster the Peoria survivors met at the residence of Robert Kennedy to organize an associa­tion of Chatsworth survivors, meetings to be held annually. This is to include all the survivors, though it was not thought of in time to Invite any outside of the city for the first meeting. About forty were present. A permanent organ­ization was effected by selecting Dr. O. B. Will president, E. A. Van Zandt sec­retary, and Pearl Adams, Robert Ken­nedy and Ezra Parker exeoutive com­mittee. In the near future a meeting of the officers will be held to further per­fect the organization and find out if any of the number are in need of pecuniary assistance.

He had for some time brooded o?or his ill luck, and to allay the disappointment he felt at the poor reception he met with in England, began to drink heavily.

On the Saturday previous to his death Don­ovan got into a drunken Quarrel and in the fight which ensued had both his eyes blackened and his body badly bruised. He continued his spree until Tuesday morning, meanwhile visiting the vilost resorts and bragging about his daring feats, He then accepted a challenge to jump from the Hungerford bridge tor a purse, of $10, with the stipulation that should he fail to perform the • feat with­out Injury to himself lie was to reoelve nothing.

Milton Turner Says They "Will Send Mlssonarles Into Doubtful States.

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—J. Milton Turner, the colored Democratic states­man from Missouri, has returned to the haunts that knew him before the Indian-spolis convention took place, and is now browsing around Washington among the national politicians. Ml-. Turner says victory is perched high upon the banner of the Democracy, and that as soon as his system receives a much-needed recuper­ation and rest he will plunge into the thickest of the fray. He expects to call his colored committee together in a few days, or at least he will authorize the chairman to do so. This com­mittee of the colored Dem­ocracy will meet in New York Mid will consult with the Democratic national committee as to the best means of conducting a campaign among the col­ored men. Mr. Turner says the National Democratic committees will send colored missionaries into the doubtful stateB, and it is intended that the benighted voters of dusty hue shall know the truth as It Is taught by the tariff reformers. It Is hoped to cause such a defection of colored voters from the ranks of the Re­publicans in New York, Indiana, Michi­gan, Virginia, -JSest Virginia and Con­necticut as to ijjfi>Ve no room for doubt as to the Democracy of those states.

Mr. Turner thinks his committee will fit up headquarters in New York and make that city the campaign headquart­ers. It is possible that a room will be furnished them by the national Demo­cratic committee, and the two organiza­tions will work together in the utmost harmony. He thinks the bond of union between the Democracy and the colored race is becoming indissoltibly stronger day by day, and that before long their respective hearts will beat as one. He hopes to see the colored Democratic com-mittemen metaphorically join hands with Mr, Brice and Mr. Scott and their fellow workers of a pale oast of countenance, in which event he says the circumam­bient air in the vicinity of the Demo­cratic national headquarters will shortly be redolent with harmony, etc. Mr. Turner says that laker in the cam­paign he will take the stump.

Jack Grace and Billy Clark Fight a IJve. ly Slx-Kound Mill.

NEW YOI:IC, Aug. 18.—Jack Grace of Brooklyn and Billy Clark of Chicago fought six hot rounds, which lasted three minutes, on the second floor of a house on the Jamait a plank road. The light was for a purse of flOO and an outside stake. It was awarded to Clark on a fouL

The contest was a most bitter one. Grace did all the leading and was awarded first blood in the first round. He smashed the stomach of his adver­sary with his left whenever he pleased, and used his right with good results on the head. At the end of the third round both men were very much weakened from hard fighting. Grace fouled ID the fourth round and was cautioned that upon a repetition the fight would be given to Clark, In the fifth and sixth rounds Grace had it all his Own way and the betting was $50 to $30 in hia favor. Clark was almost done for at the call of time at the close of the sixth round when Grace, who had evidently not heard time keeper's oall, walked over to Clark's corner and punched him. Clark's second claimed a foul and he was given the fight. The trainers and backers wrangled over the referee's de cision and Flaherty, the trainer for Grace, demanded that it be changed The referee declined to do BO, and Flaherty grabbed him and gave him _ terrible thumping. The referee broke away, and was driven rapidly away in his coach.

police of Roanoke, Va., are in receipt of Information that four of the Hatfield McCoy gang are working their way through the mountains of West Virginia toward the Norfolk and Western rail­road. It is claimed their intention is to' take a train at some point west of Roan­oke for Washington, and thence proceed north to some locality where . they will be beyond danger of pursuit.
