Booker Mitchell Arraigncd for Striking
Officer Tinsley.
Booker Mitchell, colored, who keeps
q restaurant on Railroad avenue, was
before Mayor Evans Yesterday morning
on the ceargo of assaulting Officer Tins
Icy. While Tinsley was patrolling his
beat on Railroad avenue Saturday night
he saw crowd congregated IN front of
Mitchell's door, and ordered them to
move off. AT this point Mitchell. who
was sitting in the outside window talk.
ing to two negroes, interfered, telling
the crowd that they need not move, that
he rented the place and had control of
the ground on which they were standing.
Tinsley ordered the whole crowd to dis
perse, when Mitchell sprang at the off,
Ger and struck him singing blow over
the eye. Tinsley then struck Mitchell
with his baton, and the latter ran into
the house. Tinsley followed, and was
stuck again in the face by Mitchell, who
then made his escape out at the back
door when the officer sounded his
whistle.
Mitchell introduced four witnesses
who denied the statement OF the officer,
and said Tinsley struck Mitchell first;
that no crowd was on the pavement, but
that Mitchell was only talking to some
friends while sitting in the window.
The mayor reserved his decision in
tho case till this morning. Mitchell
was defended by Mr.. Perkins.

FILLING LICK RUN.

SomesProperty Owners Not Pleased With
The work of filing Shenandoah ave-
nue. over Lick run, which was thought
to have been completed last week up to
the proper grade, was changed yester-
day by the city engineer. Bricklayers
were put to work yesterday morning
raising the manholes of the sewer, and
negroes began hauling earth to fill the
street about five feet higher. This will
be o great improvement to that avenue.
When the high places have been
taken off east OF Randolph street bridge
an even grade can be secured all along
this street. AT the point whore this
avenue crosses Lick run, brick arch
was built over the sewer, and just above
this the sewer was covered with tim
bers. On top Of these timbers there has
been heaped at least ten feet of earth.
This procedure has been watched by
several property owners in the locality
above the crossing with nothing short
of alarm.
They claim that should the covering
give In by sheer weight, or rot in the
course of time, the stream will be filled
up, and before an opening can be made
the whole valley leading toward the
Old Lick will be flooded.
Whatever the nature of the case may
be, there seems to be reason in the COM
plant made. TO the eyes of those not
scientific it appears dangerous, and will
be q great cost to the city in the future.

The hustle of preparation and departure
Kept Jack from feeling as seriously as he
might have done, but when he got to
town and had found q cheap boarding
house and set about finding something to
do he realized very forcibly how great was
his undertaking. He applied here and
there at random for employment for few
days and had no success whatever. He
then took up the advertisements in the
newspapers and spent about week in a
vain effort to find anything at all. He
soon perceived that if he had learned a
trade instead of going to college he could
have found plenty of work. He applied
for work at the offices of several of the
agricultural publications. He got no en-
couragement. as few of them pay anything
for contributions. One of the editors said
to him: "If you happen to know anything
about agriculture, the chances are that you
don't know how to write, and if you know
how to write, the chances are that you
know nothing of agriculture"

As the English See II.

LONDON, July 29--The correspondent
of The Times at st. Petersburg tele-
graphs that the official journals do not
like the enthusiasm which has been
aroused by the visit of the French
squadron to Cronstadt. He adds that it
is reported that the czar is displeased
with the manifestations made in favor
of the republic, and that he ordered that
no pleasure steamer was to be allowed
to approach near the French war ships
when he visited Admiral Gervais.
1t is not believed in London that the
visit Of the Frenchmen to Russia will
exert a lasting effect upon the friendly
relations existing between the two ma
tions. There are many who think that
the czar will not consent to an actual
alliance with the French republic. The
same people profess to believe that it
was only with the greatest difficulty
that the czar was for moment per.
suaded to abandon his known distrust
of France.

The Cronstadt Dinner.

CRoNsTADT, July 29.-Three hundred
French sailors were present at the dinner
given by the municipality at the Cron-
stadt exchange Monday. All the toasts
were of significant nature and We're
drunk admidst the utmost enthusiasm.
During the entertainment the officers of
the French squadron appeared upon the
balcony of the exchange, where enor-
nous crowds of people greeted them
with wild cheers.
When the French officers detached
from the decorations of the exchange
small tri-colored flags and flung them
down upon the populace with shouts of
"Vive la Russia" the great throng
rushed forward with a ringing cry of
"Vive la France" every man and
woman struggling to secure one of the
bright-hued souvenirs. Repeatedly the
Russians demanded that the bands play

A Horrible Tale Told by Russian Ref

BOSTON, July 29.-The Russian Jews
who came here on the steamer Kansas,
and are detained at this port by the re-
quirements of the new immigration law,
told in an interview through an in
terpreter of the prosecutions which
drove them from Russia. The crown
ing piece was the burning of their ham
let, which was thus described:
1t was little farming settlement
four Russian miles from Veile, contain
ing eighteen houses with their barns and
outbuildings. July IS, about midnight,
q dozen or so Russians from the city
came trooping down upon them and set
fire to the whole settlement. Fourteen
of the Jews were burned to death while
twenty more We're fearfully burned.
The Jews armed themselves with
stones and sticks and gave chase. The
Russians were thoroughly surprised at
this, because they were accustomed to
have their own way with these people
One young man, whose mother had been
cruelty burned, took q crowbar and at
tackled three of the Russians. He killed
two of them ana struck the third one
such blow that he died i'll an hour.
All the time the Russians were rushing
wildly aboutshouting, ''Kill the Jews, kill
the Jews" In the midst of this turmoil
the officers from Veile, attracted by the
blaze, came into the settlement and ar
rested the young man who had killed
the three Russians and also captured
other Jews. These were to be tried
there July 20, and probably will be sent
Siberia.

AN6EL cRockER DEAD.
One of Chicago's Best Known Citl4cns
Found LiftIess.


CHICAGO, July 30. -Ansel Y. Crocker,
an old and wealthy Chicago merchant,
whose name was prominently before the
public some time ago In connection with
the sensational divorce suit broAHht by
his second wife, was found dead in his
home. Heart disease is supposed to
have been the cause. Mr.. C1Ocker, who
was born in Virginia nj 1917, removed to
Chicago when young man. In May.
186i--his first wife having been dead
several years--he married Mrs. Alice
Duell, after short acquaintance. Six
years later the wife filed a suit for di-
vorce, charging cruelty and infdelity.
A sensational trial followed. The battle
was one of the longest and most bitterly
contested ever before the divorce court,
being on the docket nearly four years in
one form or another. Mrs. Crocker
finally secured her decree and alimony.
Jan. IL, this year, Mr.. Crocker married
again, this time DetYit lady.
