ONLY A BISCUIT A DAY.

INTO OPEN NREBELLION.

Citizens and Officers Following the Cars

Relief-Poor Workingmen Do the Same.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.-Entire States
are being deserted on account of the famine.
A new law has been enacted forbidding the
sowing of seed this fall, so that the acreage
will not be sufficient for the home supply,
still less for export. So great is the dis
tress that people have been driven to pill
laying each other. first setting fire to vii
lagos and then robbing the inhabitants. BY
the united charities of the Government and
the people biscuit day is allowed every
individual in the famine district. The-dis
tress is greater menace to the Government
than all the efforts of the Nihilists. The
famine may cause revolution where love
of liberty has failed Aid is being sent in
by the Holland Hebrews and Nihilists and
by America. The latter has sent S., 300.
The newspapers of st. Petersburg de-
nounce the conduct of the merchants and
members of the nobility for seeking profit
from their stores of corn, while the poor
peasants are starving. They make a strong
appeal to the Government to remove the
eulct pIOHlDItlHS Gue eApOII VI rye, anu sue
stitute therefor heavy tax on the exporta-
tion of all cereals. Reports from the Baku
district and elsewhere are to the effect that
thousands of persons are dying of starva-
tion.
The officers of the Imperial Guard have de-
cided not to dring champagne at any of the
regimental banquets, and to contribute the
money which would in the usual course of
events have been so spent to the peasants
of the famine-stricken districts. All classes
of citizens here, following the example of
the Gar, who has decided that no court
balls will be given during the coming sea-
son, and that the money usually spent for
this purpose shall be devoted to the relief
of the sufferers by the famine in his coun-
try, have resolved to abandon all entertain
ments during the winter and contribute the
money thus saved to the fund for alleviating
the distress of the famishing people. Most
of the public officials announce they intend
to devote certain percentage Of their sal
aries to the same purpose.
Workmen have decided to give a proper
tion of their humble wages. and even chill
dren will offer their little savings. Collec-
tions are to be taken up on every feast day
in all the churches. The stream of relief
is coming through wide channels, but the
system of distribution, it is claimed, is very
defective.

AN EX-MAYoR's SUICIDE.
Illness and Business Troubles Prompts a
Corry Man to Self Slaughter

CORY, Oct. 6.-[Special. 1.-The saddest
event that has occurred in this city for a
long time was the death this morning by
suicide of Hon. A. F. Bole. He was not
feeling well last night, and this morning his
daughter Katie, before going to school,
went into her fathers bedroom to kiss him,
as was her custom. As she turned to go
out she noticed that he drew the bed cover
ing over his face, and not long after that
the fatal shot was heard. Mrs. BOle and a
lady friend were at his side in an instant,
and DR.. Phillips, who was passing, was
ball entered his right temple and passed
nearly through the head. Mr.. Bole had
borrowed the revolver from Attorney Ohm
stead but few days ago, preparatory to
making a trip to Arkansas.
The pricipal cause of the suicide was bust
ness embarrassment, though Mr.. Bole had
been sick for some time. He was heavily
engaged in lumber interests at Walnut
Ridge, Ark. and as lately there has been
no market for lumber there he became great
ly involved. For some yeas he has been
deaf in one ear, and eminent specialists said
he was gradually becoming incurably and
greatly and he was heard to say he might as
well be dead Mr.. Bole had been District
Attorney for two terms, and had an excel
lent law practice. He held the Office of
Mayor for one term, positively refusing a
reelection. He was 43 years of age. He
carried a life insurance of $40, 900.

A DESPERATE RACE.

Direct and Hal Pointer Go TWO Heats, Each
Winning One, and the Contest Is Post
poned Until To-Day-Pointer Is a Strong
Favorite in the Pools
TEEEE HAUTE, Oct. 6-Nature showed up a
rare autumn day, little too cool, however,
for harness horses to be at their best All
night and morning there were busy men and
teams working on the track, which by noon
was in good shape, not lightning fast, but
safe and of the footing that horses revel in.
Early in the morning rumors were current
that there was hitch in the Direct-Hal
Pointer match; that Monroe Salisbury,
owner Of the black stallion, would not start
his horse, and had not worked him out yes
terday, having in view race for to-day.
The lumors found little credence with the
people, and by P. NJ. fully 1900 people were
on the grounds. The .-year-old trot and the
PIG pace were about through, and the crowd
was becoming impatient for the appearance
of the champions, when President Iiams
mounted the starters stand and announced
that Mr.. Salisbury had declined to start
Direct: that the association had offered the
money in good faith, and were prepared to
pay It TO the winner of the race: that Mr.
Hamlin was ready to start his horse. and
rather than disappoint the people in attend

Pointer appeared on the track but before
he had finished warming up, President Ijams
announced that Mr.. Salisbury

Pointer having the pole After several
scores the word was given, with Direct at

went to the half in l:O9lz, and it was seen
that Geers had mapped his campaign to beat
the black stallion in the home stretch, and
that such was to Starrs satisfaction. As
double te m they passed the three-quarterS
in l42 and then the drive began. The lash
descended on the stallion, and gamelY he
answered it. Pointer ever was maintain
ing slight lead and answering every stroke
OF the stallion, held the heat safe, when
within l50 feet or the wire. Starr with mag
nificent drive brushed Direct with terrific
burst of speed on to him, carrying him off
his feet and the heat was his, the last quarter
having been done in 81 seconds, the last
eighth in 49, seconds.
Pools now sold Direct, $50; Pointer, $40
In the second heat Geers, knowing that he
could not win the battle i'll the last quarter

NO HOPE FOR ENToMBED MINERS.
The Work of Finding Their Bodies One OF
the Greatest Difficulty.

PoTrsvILLE. Oct. 6.-The rescuers at the
Robinson Colliery at Gelcarbon have to-day
given up all hope of reaching the entombed
miners alive. Although as large force of
men as can be handled in such limited
space as the Crosby gangway will permit
have been kept at work steadily the res
cuers at noon to-day had only reached
breast No. 6, and the gangway is still blocked
as far as breast No. 4. The rescuing party is
unable to proceed more rapidly owing to
the treacherous condition of the root, it
threatening to fall at any moment. When
the run occurred all the timber in the gang
way was broker, and as the men proceeded
they have to retimber the gangway.
Several times squeezes have taken place,
breaking the new timber and making the
work Of the rescuers very hazardous. Su-
perintendent Martin Kelly, of Minersville,
in spite of his injuries, went to work this
morning directing the men. Michael Grant,
the young driver who had his skull crushed,
lies in precarious condition and his death
is momentarily expected. Many of the rel
atives of the entombed miners still watch
and wait sorrowfully at the mouth of the
slope There are now no hopes of reaching
the men before midnight, and probably not
before tomorrow.
