ALAS! POOR ALEXANDER.

Wholesale Arrests of Conspirators for the
 Life of the Car.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1.-The arrange ments for the movements of the court have been altered, and the imperial family will make shorter stay in St. Petersburg than was intended. The czar and his family will come here tomorrow, and will hold the customary New Years reception on Friday, but after that is over they will imme- diately return to the palace at Cats china The court balls which had been announced will be abandoned. All these changes of programme are due to the dis covery of another plot against the life of the czar. A large number of persons have been arrested here for participation in the plot Among those arrested are several officers of the army who had just arrived in St. Petersburg from the provinces.
 BERLIN, Jan. 11.-Private dispatches re- ceived here from Warsaw say that the con- spiracy against the czar had it's center in St. Petersburg, and that it was of unusual mag nitude as regards both the number and the positions of the persons implicated.

Funeral of the Caucasian Jews.

When Jew is taken ill it is the duty of every male in the place to visit the sufferer and spend a certain amount of time with him, so that he is never left alone. Should the patient die the body is forthwith placed on the bare ground and covered with a black cloth. Candles are lighted around the corpse, the women of the village gather in the courtyard to sew the tachrichim or gar ments of the dead, when dozen or twenty female mourners, hired for the purpose, form a circle round the deceased and begin the customary lamentation. "Why have you left us, and what have we done to yonF cries the leader of the wailing party, beating her breast and tearing at her hair, while the others break in with "Hoya alla, hoya alla-T For hours this lamentation, with its chorus of oHoya alla," goes on; the mourncrs getting more and more excited until posi- tive frenzy seizes them; and they would often do themselves seriors harm did not the men standing by restrain them
 The corpse is then taken into the open air, fire is made and water heated and the body washed, clothed in a white shirt with a hooi that covers the face and gloved sleeves that cover the fingers, and then in pair of white drawers that similarly conceal the feet. The praying scarf is wrapped over all, and the deceased is carried to the cemetery. Nocoffin is used, For twelve months after death a vessel with water is regularly placed near tho grave. It is believed that for a year the soul of the departed revisits the place where the body is inferred, and the water is put there that the soul may wash itself clean of all earthly impurities before ascending heaven wards <
 The Jewish highland folk are extremely ignorant. Less than one per cent. know Hebrew, and very few can read or write the local idiom; they generally employ mollah or a Tartar scribe to conduct their correspond ence for them. They read the Old Testa- ment in translation made into their peculiar dialect, the ssFarsi- -Tatar," which is printed in Hebrew characters. They do not increase in numbers and were formerly much more uumarous.-St James Gazette
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-11

The scene at the police station. after the bodies had been removed there, was distress ing. The bodies lay side by side, disfigured almost beyond recognition. At the hospital the scene was even more affecting, the groans and expressions of the injured showing how much they were suffering. The attendant physicians and nurses are doing all in their power to alleviate the pain and minister to the comfort of the wounded
 Some of the experiences of those who escaped death were thrilling in the extreme. One man was sitting in seat in the worst wrecked car, in which passenger in front of him and one behind him were killed, while he escaped without scratch. Four men were playing cards ill the smoking car when it careened. They involuntarily rose to their feet, and that is the last they could remember until they found themselves out of the car, still holding the cards in their hands,
 One of the saddest sights was the death of Mrs. c. F. Goodwin and her little child, of Kennebunk, who were riding in the second car. Mrs. Goodwin had her child in her arms, and both were instantly killed, as was also Mir. Goodwin.
 Later-The cause of the accident was a broken fange on the forward hand truck wheel of the smoking car. A careful in spection by General Manager Furber re- vealed the fact that section of the fange was missing, the break evidently resulting from defective casting

AFTER MANY YEARS.
The Reunion of 3 War Veteran with His

Long Lost Child.
 BRONSON, Mich., Jan. IA peculiar case of long lost child and bereaved father has just come to happy denouement here, and yesterdays express train West contained two as happy people as are met in the ordi- nary course of aSlife.
 The couple consisted of proud and happy father who was taking to his home daugh- ter whom he had not seen since she was babe, over twenty-five years ago, and blooming daughter was leaving the life of a domestic for one of independence. The father was William Wood, who went into the army from New York, leaving young wite and his baby daughter. Shortly after his departure the wife was killed in a rail- road disaster, and the little girl was placed among strangers.
 At the close of the war Wood could find no trace of his child. At length he settled in Minnesota and accumulated a fortune. few weeks ago he revisited his old home ill New York, where he learned that the daughter, now known as Mary Rider, had written from Bronson, Mich, making in- quiries regarding his whereabouts. He came to Bronson, and after a search found his child, whom he now takes to his western home

AN ALMsHoUsE HOLOCAUST.
Three of the Inmates Perisll by Flame nt
 East Village, Conn.

EaSG vuAaScs NO4ns
 BIRMINGHAM, Conn.,, Jan. Hire in East Village, near Munroe, destroyed the alnshouse and an adjoining building early yesterday morning and three persons were burned to death. Thomas CoIyer, a wood chopper, who boards with Mrs. Wheeler, the matron of the poorhouse, was awakened about 3:3O o'clock by falling dishes, and see ing the flames in the dining room of the poorhouse, gave an alarm and tried to arouse the inmates. He then rushed into the dwelling where Mrs. Wheeler lay sleep ing. The smoke was suffocating, but Colyer groped through it to the bed of Mrs. Wheeler and carried her outside in safety
 The almshouse was by this time in flames and Colyer rushed into it, giving an alarm and awakening the twelve inmates, whose shrieks were heartrending. Colyer assisted nine of them to escape from the burning building, three of them perishing before he could reach them. Tte three unfortunates were Elisha Blackmar, aged 2S years, sub ject to fits; Betsy Cs1rtiss, aged 60, and George Pullford, aged IS, both demented.
 In the early part frf the confagration room by Henry Wheeler, another boarder, to the sitting room, where both were over come by the smoke. Thomas Collyer dashed lis bare arm through pane of glass, lacer- ating it ill a frightful manner, and succeeded in resuscitating the helpless couple.
 The paupers and Mrs. Wheeler suffered severely from insufficient clothing, as nothing had been saved from the building. They were obliged to take shelter in out houses while waiting for help from the neighbors. Collyer and Mrs. Wheeler were severely, but not fatally burned. Thomas Collyer, the hero of the occasion, lost his en- tire belongings. including the sum of $25 which he had saved

THE ARDSLEY HERMIT.
Death of a Peculiar Character a. nobb.

rerry. N. n.
 SING SING. N. Y., Jan. u.-Jolan Will jam Stolting, the Ardsley hermit, died in his hut near Dobbs Ferry Monday night of erysipelas of the head. His exact age is not known, but he was about i5 years old. He was very eccentric old man, going about in all kinds of weather without any hat, with only yellow cambric waist,,jacket, pair of blue jean trousers very much resembling overalls buttoned to his waist, and in sum- mer went barefooted. As be tramped about the country he attracted good deal of att tention. He was. however, quite learned man, speaking seven languages fiuently, was not mean astronomer, and in former years used to keep a boys school. He was very fond of children. For the past ten years his only occupation seems to have been the peddling of Sunday newspapers. He would never speak with strangers about his early life, and how he came to select the life he did has never been found out A short time ago hut in which he had lived for many years, adjoining Cyrus w. Fields property, was burned down, and in it many valuable papers were destroyed. He had been sick for some time, and at the time of his death was taken care of by Daniel Spring steel and Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck He was buried on his own grounds to-day

A Felon.s Fatc for Political onrn.r.

DUBLIN, Jan u.-There is much excite ment to-day by the announcement that Sir Wilfred Blunt-the English sympathi- ser with the Irish Cause-has been com pelled to pick Oakum in prison under his sentence for violation of the new Coercion Act. His fingers have been made sore by the "agreeable" P, ocess and he is subject ed to indignity because of inability to worI. His wife Lady Blunt is not permit ted to see him. Sir William Bluntis of fence was mild speech made in favor of the National League. at q meeting in County Galway. This last phase of Bal four's brutality to an Englishman of rank will stir up opinion in England.
