SIBERIAN HORRORS.

ne Desperate Condition of an American
...'-.." Srilor Prisoner
Charles Wilson, mate of the sealing
schooner George r. White, tells Il tale
OF suffering in Siberia. On trip in the
spring of 1890 the schooner got into
Eussian waters and barely escaped ar
resi-. Another American sealer at the
slime was captured by the Russian au-
thoritics. says Wilson, and the crew
compelled t. work in the coal mines.
Capt. Alexander Mclean, of the schoon-
er Eddie -. Webster, of Snn Francisco,
was arrested, but it is not known
whether these men belonged to his or
anoth"r vessel. Two of the crew of
Americans, names unknown, incurred

guard refused. In desperation thesmall
man took coal shovel and cut the dead

STUDY THIS WITH CARE.
SOME VALUABLE POINTERS AS TO
HOW TO VOTE.
The Peculiarities OF the New System of
Voting-Simple Rules Which May
Keep You From Losing
Your Vote.

The following facts should be carefully
studied by intending voters:
The ballots are hereafter to be fur
nished by the state for state officers, and
by the city for local officers. These bal
lots are to be different in color. No
ticket can be voted but those officially
issued.
On these ballots the names of the can
didates OF all parties are printed. A vote
is cast by putting cross after the name
of the candidate with a small rubber
stamp supplied for this purpose, and
found in the booth. You must not use
a lead pencil in making the X, which
means a vote, or your ballot is not
counted.
The ballot you obtain from the ballot
clerk is torn from book, and number
is printed on it which the clerk marks
opposite your name on the register, so
that when your ballot is handed to the
inspector the number is compared be-
! fore depositing the same in the box to
see thas it corresponds to the one
handed you upon entering. There is a
blank space in the case of every Office,
which the voter may fill with the name
of any candidate he chooses, but in the
small square opposite the name you
write in, use the rubber stamp to make
X, not pencil or pen. OF course the
name added must be written with one
or the other.
There is liable to be misunderstand-
ing in regard to scratching and voting
straight. When you cross any straight
ticket, you have voted for all the candi-
dates you are entitled to vote for, SO
should you put in a cross opposite a
name, you would lose your vote. But
there may be constitu tional amend
| ments, or any other question that could
not be included in the straight vote.
The cross in this case is put opposite
whichever you wish to vote for.
Take note of the following things, OF
your vote will not be counted:
Don't use lead pencil to make the
cross opposite the name you want to
vote for. (Use rubber stamp placed in
the booth.)
Don't vote two names for any one
Office.
Don't put the cross opposite Republi
can name If you mean Democratic, OF
vice versa.
Don't vote more names than you are
entitled to.
Don't forget, if you spoil ballot you
can get a new one by returning the one
spoiled to the ballot clerk. Three bal
lots are allowed in case of spelling, but
only ten minutes allowed you in the
booth to vote.
Don't tear off the perforated part of
your ticket yourself; the inspection
clerk does that.
Don't put the X anywhere except in
the (G) small space at the right of each
name you mean to vote for; it follows
each party name, as
John Smith. ...........Democrat X
John Smith ....,........... Republican
In this case the Democrat was voted
for.
Remembr, an x with the rubber
stamp means vote.

TO TALK WITH MONKEYS.
Garner and His Photograph Going to
African Wilds.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The han VINO
speaks the language of the monkeys
starts for Europe today, and within two
months will probably be on the western
coast of Africa, ready to undertake his
journey into the abode of the large GO
rillas and chimpanzees.
This man is Robert B. Garner. MI
Garner has never been in Africa, all of
his former work in studying monkey
language having been done with such
monkeys as are either imprisoned in pub
lie menageries or else are owned by pri-
waite collectors.
But the time has come when Mr.. Gar
ner thinks he ought to carry out his sci
entitic Investigations on a larger scale.
He has chosen for his base of operations
a portion of that vast continent of Africa
which has never been visited by white
man. He will 90 direct from London TO
Cape Lopez, a trading station in the
French Congo district, about 400 miles
north of the mouth of the Congo river.
Two hundred miles back in the country
from Cape Lopez, in the upper valley Of
the Ogoli river, there is said to dwell a
species of ape that builds huts out Of
dead wood and the bark of trees.
When Mr.. Garner reaches the head
waters of the Osheba river, he will be
just under the Equator and within 200
miles or so of Stanley Falls. Here he
expects to find plenty of big monkeys,

Gathered for the Fray.

Scenes as Men, Women and Children
Gathered for the Fray.
PITTsBURG, July Capt F. Fl. Helm,
who had charge of the Pinkerton men at
Homestead, was brought here to the
Homeopathic Hospital this afternoon
with five companions who were wound
ed. Their names are: j. w. Kline, IA
tally shot in the head; Capt. F. Fl.
Helm, shot in left leg, will recover; Rus
sell Wells, shot in right shoulder; J. G..
Hoffman. shot in right leg; David Lester,
shot in head, seriously injured. Anoth-
er man was shot in the arm, but he left
the hospital and the authorities did not
know his NAME
When seen in one of the rooms at the
hospital this afternoon, Capt. Helm said:
II had charge of these men, who were
picked up in Chicago and New York.
They numbered 200 all told, and | gave
them strict orders not to shoot until they
were fired upon. When we proceeded to
land the whistle blew, and Immediately
the strikers commenced to shoot. To
protect ourselves we had to return the
fire. Seven or eight of our men are hurt,
L
odds were against us. = said the Captain,
and it was hard to do anything. / re-
greet very much that any shooting was
done.n
Captain Helm describes the scenes
while the boats were passing up the river
and during the futile attempts to land
the men, when we reached the Balti-
more and Ohio bridge above Glenwopd
there was Just daylight enough to show
that there was heavy fog, which OBJ
scured the river banks, but we could
hear shouts and calls of men, women and
children on the Homestead side AS we
neared the works firing commenced from
the bank and the rattle of discharging
firearms was like the wirr OF. bees. The
boat in the centre of the two barges
steamed up to the Pittsburg, McKeesport
and Youghiogheny Railroad bridge at
the steel works and then backed down
to the landing. When the next barge to
the shore swung in, one of our men and
myself threw plank ashore. The firing
had then ceased, and we could by this
time see swarms of people crowding
from the tall bank right down to the wa
ter's edge. AS soon as the plank was
thrown ashore, Kline, in advance, and
myself started down the plank. Kline
reached the shore, and | saw him scuf-
fling with some men. Then the firing
commenced, and before had taken two
steps on the plank received shot in
the leg and fell on the plank with my
shoulders on the deck Afterward the
boat pulled out and steamed to Port
Perry, where we were placed on board
OF Baltimore & Ohio train and brought

ROAR Or BATTLE.
VIZ 80
Continued From First Page.


An angry mob lined the streets on both
sides. As the men passed by, each in
charge of two deputies, the mill men
and their friends kicked them and threw
some down. The unfortunate detec-
tlves begged for mercy Some had pis-
toll shot wounds in the head. three had
their eyes shot out, and several were shot
in the shoulders, arms and legs so that
they could scarcely limp along. Blood
was running in streams down their
shirts and they fairly yelled with pain.
Fully 80 injured men were taken to the
town hall. One had his eye punched out
by an umbrella in the hands of a woman.
Sand was thrown in their eyes and they
were hit with clubs and other missiles.
Many were knocked down with clubs
and trampled on. The men used the
stocks of their rifles and struck the de-
tectiyes over the head and shoulders, in
fiicting serious and in some cases, per-
haps, fatal injuries. AS the procession
reached the Amalgamated Associa-.
ton building, the detectives
had to remove their hats and
salute the flag. When they removed
their hats, men and women hit them
with umbrellas and sticks, and abused
with the greatest difficulty the demon
like crowd could be restrained. The
men were finally lodged in the opera
house.
A complete list of killed and wounded
is not obtainable at midnight. So far
as can be ascertained II workmen and 8
detectives are killed and is workmen
and 81 detectives injured. At least 100
more were injured after the surrender.

Last Evening,
Especial to the Press

SAco, July 7.-Hon. Roscoe L. Bow
ers, state railroad commissioner, died
very suddenly at his home here last
night at about II o'clock of heart dis
ease, aged 81 years. He had been talk
ing all the evening with his son, DR..
John Bowers of Portland, apparently in
the best of health, and retired to bed a
little later than usual, to expire almost
immediately. Mr.. Bowers was one Of
the most prominent citizens of Saco, and
served as it's mayor in 1885 and 1886, be-

NOTHING FOR ANTI-sNAPPERs.
The Men who Fought Hill Now Stunned
by Cleveland.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Ask any member
of the Provisional Democratic State
Committee which organized the anti-Hill
campaign in this state and secured the
nomination of ex-President Cleveland
what he thinks of Mr.. Cleveland and he
will either decline to be interviewed or
will say something about ingratitude.
E. Ellery Anderson, ex-Secretary Fair
child ex-Mayor Grace and others who
devoted three months of their time and
money lavishly to show the Democrats
of the country that New York was not
against Mr.. Cleveland, have not only re-
ceived no letter of thanks from MI.
Cleveland since their victory was won,
but have had no message from him what
ever. They find themselves suddenly
tout of politics"
Before the ex-President left New York
for Buzzard's Bay he held frequent con-
ferences with the anti-snap leaders, re-
ceived their reports and seemed grateful
for what they were doing. Mr.. Willard
of the Northern Pacific Railroad and
president of the North American Rail-
way and Electric Trust, was SO interest
ed in Mr.. Cleveland's change of heart
that he contributed $4,000 to the CAM
paign fund and went to Chicago week
in advance of the convention to influence
the delegates as they arrived from the
Northwest states, where Mr.. Wizards
great railway interests gave him wide
influence.
One of the leaders of the provisional
committee said att this time: cit is won
derful how much Cleveland has learned
since he left the White House. He real
ly seems to know his friends, and be-
lieve if he is reelected he will remember
them''
Now that a special Cleveland commit
tee has done all that it could to advance
his fortunes and has spent $4,000 to de-
feat his enemies, they complain that Mr..
Cleveland has turned his back upon
them and knows them no more. None
of them have had even a note of thanks.

interest in the state of affairs. 1t is said
