PRICE FIVE CENTS.

tainable partially agrees with that Of one "Dr." Charles l.. Blood, of Boston, fellow-convict of Sawtelle's, and with whom Sawtelle has been more or less intimate since his release. Blood Is missing from Boston at present.
 On Wednesday evening the clerk of the hotel recognized Bridge" as Saw telle, from the photograph in an even ing paper, and on Thursday caused his arrest Sawtelle admitted his identity, and was taken to Rochester Thursday night by Captain White and Special Officer Glidden, who had been sent from Boston. On the way to Rochester Saw telle refused to make any statement ex- cept to say that Hiram was all right and would turn up at the right time.
 Sawtelle was arraigned yesterday at Rochester on the charge of murder, and was committed to jail at Dover until March 12, without bail. He passed a restless night and has not as yet been told of the discovery of his brothers body.
 Early yesterday morning Officer Shields went to the station house and ordered Sawtelle to remove his clothing, which was minutely examined Upon the shirt, drawers and trousers blood spots were found in some cases as large as silver dollars. The spots bore eyi- dence of having been rubbed in an at tempt to remove them. A searching party was organized and moro than four hundred men mustered. They divided into squads to search for the body. Tn this vicinity had already been found a bloody handkerchief marked IS" and shoe and part of coat believed to have belonged to Hiram. Patches of blood had also been found on the snow and also paper in which the axe had been wrapped All these things led to the belief that the body must be in the vicinity, and this proved to be the case. Within ten feet of the spot where the paper had been found the searchers found evidence of the ground having been recently broken, although it was frozen hard. The ground had been leveled off and branches thrown over the hastily impro- vised grave to conceal it. Clearing the rubbish away, the searchers began to dig and three inches below the surface they came upon the toes of the victim, and as the lower limbs were gradually exposed 1t was seen that the body was inclined downward, the upper portion being about sixteen inches under pround

 THE SIBERIAN HORROR.
Leading to the Suicide Of Mime. Sihida and the Resulting Massacre in Siberia 4 Change of Officers.

Further Particulars of the Circumstances
 Leading to the Suicide of Mime. Sihida
 and the Resulting Massacre in Siberia
 A Change of officers.
 PARIS, Feb. 15.-Further particulars of the Siberian horror have been re- cieved and show that the cruelties were worse than at first reported. It now ap- pears that Mme Sihida had a younger sister, some sixteen years old, who went to Siberia to look after her comfort Arriving there, she had the misfortune to please the eye of the director of the prison. She was detained by him on trumped-up charge of conniving at Mime. Sihida's attempted escape, and became victim of his brutali- ty. She was subjected to such atrocious treatment as to cause her death soon after. Mime. Sihida, indig- nant and or-stricken by this awful event, vehemently denounced the out rage. In doing this she attracted the attention of the director, who then ap- preached her with the same insults he had heaped upon her sister. The mon strous revenge of the director in having her publicly flogged followed, and this punishment was accompanied by in- human incidents which probably had more to do in driving her to suicide than the exposure to which she had been sub jected.
 The revolt in the male prison is con firmed, and it is now definitely known that the number of killed amounted to forty-one. News of the affair has now been circulated in Russia and it has in- spired the Nihilists with new vigor.
 Upon learning the particulars and realizing the universal protest and vio- lent feeling the case would arouse, the Czar dispatched an officer to replace the director and ordered that official to re- port at St. Petersburg.
