A STRANGE MURDER TRIAL.
Robentlan Jew Charged NS Ith
•-dills for SaerIllelal rlIrp:>SO4.
A despatch from Prague, Bohemia,
says: -An extraordinary murder trial
is in progress in Kuttenberg, near
here, which has attracted a multitude
of jurists and journalists from all over
Europe. 'Their presence is partly clue
to the fact that the accused, nevoid
Hilsner, is a Jew, and that in this dis-
trict the superstition that orthodox
disciples of the rabbis secure the blood
of Christians fax sacrificial purposes is
not yet rooted out.
Hilsner is charged with the murder
-immediately before the Jewish Pass-
over -of a young peasant girl. Ft is
alleged he waylaid her in a lonely fax -
on the road front Kuttenberg to
Prague, and with a sharp Jewish sho-
chet, or butcher knife, severed the
head from the girl's body.
During the past year fifteen girls
have been found mursleredein a simi-
lar manner in this district, and the
police expect to fasten all these crimes
an Hilsner. They believe he will con-
fess his guilt before the present trial
has ended.
• The trial has precipitated a race con-
flict between the Jews and the. Gentile
Czechians. The Jews do not believe
Hilsner is the guilty raan, and as he
is poor, the synagogues have been
asked to help in paying the expenses
of his defence.

back to protect the rear half. The en-
gine returned from Kelly's•siding af-
ter leaving the front half of the train
there, and was in the act of coupling
on the rear portion when Bright re-
turned to the train. Some delay was
occasioned in getting connected, how-

of speculation, but as fax as the Scots-

tA. despateh from Calcutta, says
The story oe the destruction of the

scheme supported by the American

leave the buildings, and Miss Stahl,
guiding the children, camafenced a
periloaas climb, finally gaining the Mall
road. All the time rain was pouring
down in toe -rents, the earth was shak-
ing, and the children were terrified,
The blackness of the night, falling
boulders, the crashing of trees, and
fears of the earthquake, finally com-
pelled the party to -return teethe Ida
Villa. Eve t then Miss Stahl, had a
struggle, with the child,ren; who, fear-
ing the cothipse of the house, sought
to fly into the night. '
• Misses Reid and Sounclry finally
made another attempt and escaped
with the children. They were, how-
ever, overwhelmed by a landelip. The
teachers escaped, but metier of the
children perished.. In the ' meantime
the Ida Villa had been also destroyed.
Will Burlee, the sole survivor, says
that ween it was seen that escape was
impossible a sister made theta all kneel
in proeer, and while kneeling the
house was swept away.

A despatch from Brantford, Ont.,
seem -Word reached this city on
Thursday morning of • a melancholy,
tragedy whicla occurred on:Wednesday
near the village of Kelvin, in :Burford
township. A man namece Samuel
Wood, tired of life, first shot his faith-
ful dog dead and then blew out his own
brains,. Wood was 50 years of age,
and unmarried. He had had a lot of
trouble, and els mind is supposed to
have • been unhinged. Wednesday he
took his shotgun, and, calling his dog,
walked towards a woods not fax from
his home in search of small game. The
man must have been brooding over his
troubles, fax just before he reached the
woods 'he turned on the dog at his
heels and shot him dead, Ho then
walked into the bush, where he came
upon some men at work. The met
asked him what he had shot at, and
he replied that he had killed his dog,
but would give aio reason except that
It was better dead. 'Wood then strol-
led back to where the dog lay, and be-
fore anyone noticed what he was do-
ing placed the, muzzle of the gun to
his head and pulled the trigger by
means of e stick. The whole top of
the mates head was blown off, and he
fen dead instantly close beside the
body of les four -footed companion.
The coroner wa$ notilied, but did not
deem an inquest necessary,

of war talk iri this part of the coun-
