NOT AS HILLS DEFENDE

do not stand upon this floor as the defender
Of the governor of the state of New York.
Governor Hill has shown himself entirely COM
petent to defend his own acts. But the press has
so generally criticised his action in dishonoring
the Bulkeley requsition, that feel in duty bound
ton. "
His critics, like the defenders of Buckley, and
notably the Herald and Press of New York as
sumo that the constitution of Connecticut pro-
vldes that Mr.. Bulkeley may hold over until his
successor is duly qualified They say he is "gov-
ernor de facto under the constitution"
somewhere in that instrument there is a provi-
sion which gives him power to hold over. In the
first place there is no such provision and if there
were such, instead of being de facto governor he
must of necessity be governor de jure until his
successor duly qualities, for the hold over clause
term of the office to which it applies.
But have already shown that a legislature
made governor is not included in the list Of Off
GERS whose terms Of Office may thus be extended.
Only governors elected on a Tuesday in the
month OF November at biennial electors meetings
are embraced in this constitutional provision
which though constantly referred to as all i'm
portant to Mr. Bulkeley's title seems to have
been but careto,sly read

PERU, Ind, Nov. 27.--Thursday the
rendezvous OF an organized band of
robbers that has been infest;ng this re-
gion for years past, was discovered.

Houston Carbon VI Orks and tho Mclean
Spike Mill Destroyed at Fremont, q.
FREMONT, o., Nov. 25.-The Thom-
SON. Houston Carbon works, the largest
carbon manufacturing plant in the
world. was entirely consumed by fire
Tuesday night The fire started about
7:30 o'clock, and in an hour all that re-.
mained were bare walls. The Mclean
Spike and Rolling mill, situated
close by, which is owned by
Gen. Alger, was also destroyed.
The fire started in the plating
room of the carbon works, and is sup
posed to have been the result of
natural gas or naphtha explosion. The
carbon plant was valued at about $780,
900. and the insurance upon it is
thought to be about Sl2o, 900, the insur-
ance being principally in IS eastern
and foreign companies The spike
works was valued az $50, 900 and insured
for Sa5. 600. The fire spread with great
rapidity, owing to the high wind, which
carried the flames and sparks so that
little could be saved by the fire depart-
ment The buildings covered nearly
three acres. and the loss to the city is
heavy. Two hundred and fifty men
are thrown out of work. The spike
works had not been used for some timo
past. Manager Richmond. Of the car
bon works. was absent from the city.

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Indiana Teacher and Pupils in Q
Critical Condition.
Two Scholars Have Died and More VIII
Probably Follow-Unwholesome Wn-
ter From . Neighboring Well
Believed to he the Cau1A.

FRANKFoRT, Ind. Nov. 25.--Informa.
tion has been brought to County Super
intendent Lvdy that one of the public
schools In Forest township, in the east
ern part of this (Clinton) county, had
been closed by the Wholesale poison
ing OF the pupils and also the teacher.
An investigation proves that the teach
er and fifteen of his pupils are in q
critical condition, while two of them
are dead.
The school is located in the country
and few weeks ago the township
trustees caused we'll to be driven on
the premis es, from which the school
got their supply of water. For
the past three weeks the teach.
er. Jos Goar, has noticed tho
attendance growing gradually less all
caused by sickness One week ago he
himself was taken Ill and compelled to
close the school It was found
upon investigation that all the pupils
who had regularly drank Of the wnter
from the we'll were sick, while few
pupils who lived near the school house
and went home for meals were not af-
fected. The symptoms developed are
similar to those Of typhoid fever
Thursday child Of Robert Dillen, that
had been afflicted for several days,
grew rapidly worse and died Friday.
Saturday another one of the pupils, q
ten.year-old daughter of John Burgett,
became suddenly worse and died Sun
day.
Investigation Monday evening show
cd that fifteen pupils and the teacher
are decidedly worse and several more
deaths are expected by the doctors.
The doctors say 1t. is clear case Of
water poisoning. An incomplete an
alysis Of the water was made Tuesday
which confirmed their theory.
They say that the water possesses
some peculiar chemical prop
erty which in its action on
the water pipes, generates the poison.
Samples of the water have been Sc.
cured and will be subjected to a crit
ical analysis in order to unravel the
deadly mystery. Later Information Is
to the effect that the teacher is grow
ing rapidly worse. What makes the
case more dangerous is the apparent
fact that those who have drank the
water are afflicted with blood poison
ing.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Tien Tisn says: The
outbreak in the north, officially describ-
ed as raid of Mongolian robbers,
proves to be an insurrectionary move
ment Of serious dimensions. Dispatches
received state that in Mongolia
and some northern districts nearer the
capital the revolutionary feeling is
spreading rapidly, and the number
of rebels is becoming alarm
ing. An insurgent force con-
sisting of several squadrons of
Mongolian cavalry, besides infantry, is
reported to be advancing on Pekin,
where the utmost alarm prevails The
population OF q large area, actuated
partly by inclination and partly by fear
of the rebel soldiery, has joined the
movement, together with several man
darins Imperial troops have started
to meet the rebels The entire Christ
ian population of King Chou was mas

And Five Others Hang by Weak Thread
Result of tho Lake shore accident.
TOLEDO o., Nov. 3O.-The results of
Saturday nights accident on the Lake
Shore, in this city, have been more
serious than at first feared. In addi-
ton to the two who were killed out
right, five moro have since died, and
several others can not survive. The
wounded also sustained more serious
injuries than was supposed at the time.
Nearly all were frightfully burned
and scalded about the face and hands,
and many will be disfigured for life.
The responsibility for the accident
has not yet been determined The rail-
road officials have as yet made no state
ment, but the coroner is hard at work
on the case, and will call jury Mon
day morning.
Lewis the Flint and Pere Marquette,
engineer, will say but little concerning
the wreck. The Lake Shore engineer,
Boyle. an old timer. says he picked up
the red light teyond the tunnel easily,
and lie wis, of the r. & p NJ, ought to
have done the same.

Australian refugees, whose arrival at
Honolulu on iae Beagle created such a
stir, are known to have Joined the great
opium smugglers' ring Discoveries so
far show the existence of an extensive
organization headed by the notorious
Tom Whaley. A small squadron of
vessels are engaged in the traffic. Many
of the coast freighters, which are not
subject to customs inspection are in
league with the smugglers, tranship-
ping the drug at. sea, and landing it
with but little risk of detection. The
Beagle is the best vessel the smugglers
have, being too well armed to be cap

LAND BILL" ALLEN

Dies In the Poor House-Thc Author Of
the Homestead Law and HIS Eccentric
Career.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 30.-Georgc
Wheaton Allen, better known as Land
Bill Allen, author of the homestead law,
died Sunday night at the infirmary. He
was in his SD year, having been born
in Connecticut in 1909. He came to
Ohio in 1880, and, engaging in the ped
ding and auctioneering business, amass-
ed considerable wealth. On his peddling
wagon, which he drove through the
country, he had painted the notices:
Homes for rybody;' 1.-THE govern
ment lands belong to the people," and
Government lands to actual settlers
He advoca,ed the passage by congress
Of the present Homestead law, and
while travelling through the states ad-
dressed legislatures and public meet
ings in an effort to create public senti-
ment in favor Of his bill.
1t is sad he spent 500, 900 creating
sentiment among the people, state
legislatures and congress in favor of his
proposition, and lived to see thousands
of his fellow men benefited there, y.
Although man of considera le
ability, he lacked the ability to manage
his own affairs, and years ago became
a charge on his friends. He owned ,
little cabin and q few acres OF land in
Plain township, this county, where he
lived alone, but about three months ago
it was sold for taxes for the third time,
and on account of his helpless condition
he was sent to the poor house.
The publication ofrthis fact caused
contributions to pour in from all parts
OF the country, but Land Bills mind
was gone, and on account of his utterly
helpless condition he was forced to re-
main at the infirmary. He was offered
a home by philanthropic persons in
New Jersey and Philadelphia, but his
condition was such that it made little
difference where he ended mis- days
Out of the contributions rece e,ved for
him he will be given decent burial

Massacre.
LONDON, Nov. 30-The Chronicles
correspondent at Tien-Tsin says: OFF,
cial reports of the Takow massacre
contain details almost without par
allel, even in tlAc history Of China.
Previous dispatches have given but q
faint idea of what happened. The
mem bers Of the little belgian mission
had no opportunity Of escaping.
The slaughter commenced with the
killing of native converts, many Of
whom were put to death with fiendish
cruelty. Children OF tender years were
seized by the savages, hacked with
knives and roasted at . huge fire. A
worse fate still befell the nuns. who
were subjected to the grossest indigni-
ties, being brutally outraged by the
fiends who afterward Drained them
with massive clubs The Belgian
priests were cruelty tortured. but met
their fates with Christian resignation.
One Of them had his heart and tongue
torn from his body and burned by the
savages in q murderous frenzy.
The most astounding statement Is one
that after the miscreants had been
sat.ated with outrage and slaughter.
they were feasted and feted by the lead
ing Chinese mandarin in the district.
The foreign diplomatic body at Pekin
are simply furious The whole Eu-
ropean colony is boiling with indigna.
tion.
The news from Mongolia is increas.
ingly serious. The rebel forces are re-
ported to be growing larger, and their
forward march has been continued SO
far uninterruptedly. The imperial
troops have not yet got into touch with
tho rebels Further detachments of
troops have bsen ordered forward. The
rebels in their southwark march occu.
pied towns without resistance being
made by the populace. At all the
places through which they passed the
rebels made requsitions upon the in
habitants for supplies.
