RUSSIAN DUPLICITY.
Conspirators Arrested, and One
Makes Confession.


LONDON, November CA Belgrade dis
patch states that one of the men arrested
for completely in the conspiracy against
King Milan has made a confession, in
which he declares if the plot to place Prince
Karageorgovitch on the Servian throne had
succeeded the Prince intended to admin
lister the Government entirely in the inter-
est of Russia This was to have been the
first step toward Russian dominance in all
the Slav States of the Balkan Peninsula. AT
the same moment of the receipt of this
information dispatches came from Con-
stantinople showing that the Porte had
made known to the British ambassador its
reasons for believing that the Roumelan
revolt was originally fomented in Russia,
though Prince Alexander by treacher-
GUS movement has temporarily secured
for himself the advantage of it. Ac-
cording to the Porte's advces Russia in
tended to make the prearranged re-
volt the excuse for bringing about another
war with Turkey, with the object of secur-
ing control of the Balkan States The SIM
ultaneous announcement of this rumor
from Belgrade and .Constantinople, the two
sources of information being apparently
quite independent of each other, seems to
give weight to the story. The already
strained relations between Austria and
Russia are not likely to be made more
amiable by the publication of these evil
dences of Russian designs upon provinces
which Austria secretly regards as her le-
gitimate future prey.

LONDON, November 4.-King Milan has

MES thus far having begun operations
against Bulgaria, everything is in readi.
ness at Belgrade. The court people are
equally concerned in making the prepara-
tions as complete as possible The Servian
plan of action at the beginning of hostili-
ties is already determined on, and is main
ly as follows: One division of the Servian
army will be detailed to oppose the
Bulgarian attack at Tzarbrod. Two
divisions leave Pirst and Keijazevatz
by bypaths for the high road
leading from Palanka on the Danube to
Sofia. King Milan will command this
movement in person. Two other divisions,
it is intended, will occupy Widdn and the
Iru district. This plan is regarded as the
best means of making the greatest use of
the Servian forces without giving Prince
Alexander an opportunity to bring his
most effective troops into active operation.
1t would avoid above all, according to the
ideas of the Servian officers, direct at
tack ON the strong Bulgarian position at

A BOILER BURSTS.
Eight Men Injured, Three Thought 10 he
Fatally,


EVANSVILLE, IND, November 5.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused on Lower
Second street this afternoon by a loud re-
port and the violent rattling of windows in
houses in that locality, which was followed
few moments later by an alarm of fire
turned In from that district. The cause of
the noise and alarm was the explosion Of
boiler in VIM. Aiken e. Sons laboratory.
The boiler was torn from it's fastenings,
passed straight up through the second floor
and roof, passing over the building, and
alighting in the street fully $50 feet distant.
Eight men were in the room at the
time of the accident, all of whom were in
jured, three thought to be fatally. The fol-
lowing is a list of the men and their inju-
ries: John Seidenthal, scalded and in
haling steam, is reported dying; John
McCool, badly scalded about face, arms,
and legs, and fatally injured internally;
VIM. Hyde, dangerously injured about the
head and body, hands, body and legs
scalded; John Jack, hands and legs
scalded, right side badly bruised; r. l..
Aiken and H.B. Aiken, sons of the propre-
tor, badly scalded; Ben Zaff, legs scalded;
Jacob Kessner, face and body scalded. Mr..
Kessner, the engineer, states that few
minutes before the explosion he found three
gauges of water, and had thirty five
pounds of steam, and can not account for
the accident unless caused by defective
iron in the boiler. The explosion was of
such force as to completely demolish the
south of the building and west walls. The
damage is estimated fully 5000.

United States Grand Jury against John s.
Overton, proprietor of the Southern Hotel
newsstand, charging him with conspiring
to defraud the Government by completely
in the fraudulent deeds of John E. Quinn,
ex-postmaster of Paragould, Ark, who
was also indicted to-day. The frauds con-
sist in the presenting of forged money or
ders at the st. Louis postofiice signed by

person. Overton's completely lay in his
Identification of Quinn as the fictitious per-
son, by means of which he was enabled to
collect the orders. Several orders were
collected by Quinn in the name of Henry
Watson, through Overton, amounting to
several hundred dollars. Another charge
of defrauding the Government by buying
postage stamps of Quinn at reduced rates,
the stamps being stolen by the latter, is
pending against Overton. He is a retired
actor, middle aged, without family, and
has been in charge of the newsstand for
several wears.

Starved TO cath.

LOWELL, MASS, November s.-A police
man to-day found family of children
starving to death in tenement house on
Charles street. There was boy of seven
teen, girl of twelve and two other child
rem aged nine and seven years and dead
child still younger. The oldest boy was
quite sick, and tho house was destitute of
everything but the scantiest furniture. The
children are French Canadians named
Bouchette, whose mother is dead and whose
father chops wood in the country and
comes home but once week. They could
talk but little English. The dead child
was lying on chest, and had been dead,
they said, since Friday forenoon. One
child was asleep on another old box, and
another behind the stove. There was
nothing in the house to eat, but good fire
was burning in the stove. The overseers
of the poor were notified and they gave
orders for provisions and wood, and sent
an undertaken to bury the dead child.

A TEST CASE.
Can Catholic Parochial School be Legally
Taxed?

IaXeu.
WILLIMANTIc, CT, November 4.-Several
months ago the town of Wyndham placed
lien upon the property of the parochial
school belonging to the st. Joseph's Cath
olic Society in Willimantic for the non
payment of taxes. 1t was noted that the
Catholics had refused to pay the taxes, on
the ground that the property is used ex-
cusively for educational and religious pur-
poses, and therefore exempt from taxa
tlon by the general statute, and that the
town authorities, while disclaiming all
charges of hostility to the Catholic
schools as such, simply claimed that
the parochial school is private in
stitutlon receiving private revenue,
not only from Catholic children,
but from others, and also not used exclu-
sively for educational or religious purposes
and therefore not exempt within the mean
ing OF the general statute. The strict legal
view of the question seems to be that the
Catholic parochial school is private insti-
tuition, and therefore taxable. But in the
equity view the Catholics bear heavy bur-
den. Their school takes over 500 children
from the local public schools and saves SO
much public expenditure. Each one of those
800 or more parochial school children draws
$2.25 annually from the State Treasury
and State School fund, which money goes
to the public schools and not to the paro-
chial. And the parochial school children's
parents, that is, those who have taxable
property, pay their proportionate share in
maintaining the public schools and also
contribute for the support of the parochial
school. 1t is a test case Of great import
ance, because if the Willimantic parochial
school is taxed similar schools all over
Connecticut, now held to be exempt, will
come under the same rule

in THE RAPIDS.
Terrible Accident at 1.-THE Niagara
Falls.
Two acknowledgements, Ignorant of Their
Danger,..go Over the Falls.

CHIPPEWA, ONT, November S.-About
nalf-past two O'Clock this afternoon two
men in small row boat were observed by
some boys on the Canadian shore of the
Niagara River, nearing the rapids just
above the falls. Apparently they were un-
conscious of their danger at the time. They
were once in close proximity to the shore,
but again headed out into the river, when
they were warned from those on shore of
their danger, they appeared not to UNDER
stand, and steered more down stream
than ever. When in the rapids their boat
was seen to break in twain, and one Of
them clung for moment to a part of it,
but they were soon lost sight Of. Upon in
quiry they proved to have been two Ger
mans, whose names no one appears to
know, from whence they came or what
point they embarked on their fatal voyage.
Late this evening it was rumored that one
of the victims was young German named
August, baker, who came from Buffalo
last week. The other is unknown.

Carson Mint Closed.

WASHINGTON, November G.-On the re.
commendation of DR.. Kimball, Director of
tho Mint, Secretary Manning has author
lied suspension of, all operations at the
mint, at Carson, Nevada. Since the sus-
pension of coinage of the standard silver
dollar at Carson, last June, this mint has
been conducted as an assay Office. The de-
posits, however, have been insignificant
during the last few months. The reason
assigned by Director Kimball for the pres
ent action is that the ''yeld of the mining
industry once centering at Carson is now
practically reduced to nothing, so that
whatever reason there once was for the ex-
istence of the Carson Mint is no longer in
force"
