KILLED BY BURGLARS.
Tor tured and Killed for Not Telling
Where Their. Money Was.

Burglars entered the house OF family
named Rubiustein at Warsaw, Poland, and
demanded from the father his money. He
refused to say where he kept it and the
burglars chopped off his fingers with axe.
He still refused TO tell and they Drained him.
They then turned To Mrs. Rubinstein, who
protested that she did not know where the
money was. After tOrturing her also to no
purpose the burglars cut her throat.
The youngest daughter was killed IN the
same way, and three boys Of two, three and
five years each, who had begun to cry, were
dashed against the wall until dead.
The eldest daughter was hung up by her
feet until she told where her father had kept
his savings. The burglars found about 500
roubles in the chimney, to which she directed
them. They then stabbed her in the breast
and left her for dead.
A marketman who called at the house next
day found the door open. On the floor Of
the first room was the eldest daughter, weak
from the loss of blood but able to tell her
story. The bodies of the other six had been
thrown in heap in the bedroom.

BLOODY CHOLERA RIOTS.
4 Mob of Ignorant Russians Do
Battle With Troops.
Sixty of the Rioters Killed and
Hundreds Wounded.

Private information from Tashkend, q
town of Asiatic Russia, in Syr-Darya, gives
the facts in regard to serious rioting there in
connection with the cholera epidemic.
The native Sarte, believing the doctors
were poisoning cholera patients, determined
to put an end to the murderous practices
they imagined were employed. The widest
rumors were current of crueties inflicted by
physicians, causing the immediate death of
patients, and these stories aroused the peo-
piss fury to the highest pitch.
Five thousand Sarts suddenly invaded the
Russian quarter and wrecked the residence
of Deputy Governor Poutinstsof, who fed
on the approach of the bowling mob. His
flight was discovered ami he was overtaken
in the street by an Infatuated crowd. and
was shockingly maltreat9d. He pleaded for
mercy, but in vain.
Finally he was flung to the ground, and
after being trampled upon was stoned to
death. his features being mutilated beyond
recognition. The authorities took imme-
date steps to suppress disorder and protect
other officials. A body of troops was hur-
ried to the scene under orders to adopt most
rigorous measures in dealing with rioters.
Arriving where the defiant Sarts were as
sembled the troops opened fire, killing sew
eraI. The Sarts, armed with pistols and
daggers and undaunted by the deadly fire,
made desperate resistance.
The two forces closed in on each other and
a furious hand-to-hand fight ensued, the
maddened Sarts, when their pistols were
emptied, slashing savagely with their daggers
and doing much execution with those
weapons. The drilled and better armed SOL
diers were unable to overc come their fanati-
cal opponents, but after being reinforced by
q body Of Cossacks they succeeded in quell-
ing the riot
The Sarts, not disheartened by repulse
soon prepared to resume the attack They
took possession Of the mosques, converted
them into temporary forts and deied the
authorities
A large number of soldiers were dispatched
to dislodge them. but this was no easy task,
as the Sarts were ensconced behind protect
ing walls and could shoot down the soldiers
while they themselves were in practically
safe position. The Sarts made sturdy re-
sistance, firing from loopholes with telling
effect.
The troops atlast concentrated and, max
ing grand assault, carried the mosques. A
scene of carnage ensued. Although the
Sarts found they could not cope with their
military opponents, no quarter was asked
or given, and, defiant to the end, they fell
by scores before the soldiers.
Sixty Sarts were killed and hundreds
wounded, many most grievously. The sol
diers suffered heavily. fifteen being killed
and many wounded.
So great was the excitement the authori-
ties found it necessary to strongly patrol the
town day and night.

WOOD ELECTROCUTED.
A Well Conducted En- ecution at
Clinton IN. W Prison.

"CaV Wool, of Warren County, was ex
ecuted, few days ago. at Clinton IN. "
Prison. He was the first to suffer electrocu-
ton at that place.
1t was II :47:40 o'clock A. NJ. by the stop
watch of Warden Brown of Sing Sing Pris-
on. who acted as official timekeeper, when
Wood entered the execution room escorted
by Principal Keeper McKenna and two dep
uties. AS the condemned man approached
the chair he turned toward the witnesses,
who were ranged in the west end of the
room, and said: 81 would like to make few
remarks"
Wood proceeded in voice slightly husky
but distinct to thank Mr.. Whitman, his
counsel, and the officials OF the prison for
their kindness to him. Wood then turned
and took his seat unassisted in the chair,
where he was dexterOusly strapped by the
prison officers while DR.. Ransom, the
prison physician, quickly adjusted ami Sc
cured the electrode upon the head. At the
same time the leather mask covered his eyes
and chin from view and shut off the last
ray of Zig hit from the eyes that four minutes
later were blind forever. AS the apparatus
was being placed in position the wretched
man continued to pray: 'God remember
me in heaven. God help. God help.
God remember me. Lord remember. God
help God REM Here the white kerchief
in the hands of Warden Thayer waved.
All hands were off the apparatus, and sim
utaneously the switchboard clicked from
the partition behind the chair at the touch
of Electrician E. F. Davis.
There were no contortlons of tae
body such as have been described in
previous electrocutIons. Only
sligat expansion OF tho chest was
discernible during the first contact. As the
second contact was turned on, the hands,
which lay on the arms of the chair, lifted
as if by contraction Of the muscles for a
second, and then dropped. The two sue
ceeding periods Of contact produced no con-
vulsive action whatever. At the Gloss of
the circuit DR.. Ransom and his assistants,
DR.. w. N. Billiard, Of Boston, and DR..
r. T. Irving, OF Sing Sing, quickly exam
ined the body, an operation OF about ten sec
onds, and agreed that it was lifeless. Ten
minutes later DR.. Ransom officially de-
Clared the man dead.
After a post-mortem examination the body
was given over to his brother, who, with
Woods wife and cousin, was waiting on the
outside for the end of the execution 1t was
taken to his old home in Thurman for burial.
The crime for which Wood was convicted
occurred MAY IL, 1892 when Leander Pasco,
a w arren County farmer was found dead,
with two gunsho5 wounds in his body. WOOL
had secretly married Pasco's daughter
Pasco VIC lla not forgive the marriage and
refused to recognize Wood.

An Interesting ReIIc,

One of the most interesting relics of the
late civil war, says the Chicago Herald, is
a piece of white toweling that was used as
a flag of truce when the Confederate army
surrendered to General Grant at Appomat-
tox. 1t is owned in this city by General
E. W. Whitaker, who was a member of
General Clusters staff, and who received it
from Captain Sims, of Longstreet's staff,
on the morning of April 9, 1865. General
Whitaker has treasured it during all those
years He was induced to part with por-
tiOn of it several years ago, when he gave
half of it to his old commander, the late
General Custer. Mrs Custer afterward
gave the fragment to the museum at West
Point. On the small piece of the towel
ling appears the following statement,
sworn to by General Whitaker before a no.
tary public: "This is a piece of the cloth
cut from the identical flag of truce which
was used under orders of General R. E..
Lee to ask cessation of hOstihties of the
Federal army at O'Clock am, April 8,
1865 at AppommattOx court house, Va.
This flag of truce, a large towel, was in the
hands of Captain Sims, of Longstreet's
staff, when he met Custer's cavalry charge.
1t was used by me in the Confederate lines
at the request of Generals LOngstreet and
Gordon to announce the surrender of Lee
to the infantry line of battle and also the
cavalry"

TIE Everett Herald complains that Sc
attic is secretly knitting several enterprises
there and treatens to retaliate. 1t says:
Tacoma, while never expressing great en-
thusiasm over the building of Everett, has
not gone out of her way to block the wheels
OF this city's prog aess, and has taken what
trade has gone from this city to her jobbers
with gracious appreciation. It is only two
hours further to Tacoma and it would be
no great trick for our merchants to change
their base Of supplies for the little time
they will be dependent upon their neigh
bors, from Seattle to some other point. 1t
will be but short time before we can
order goods in the eastern markets and re-
ceive them before Seattle could"

READ this you southern gentlemen Of

Paste it in your hats, you Memphis and

Union soldier. 1t is from President Har-

adhere to the views expressed in previ-
Gus messages that the care of the disabled
soldiers of the war of the rebellion is a
matter Of national concern and duty. Per-
haps no emotion coOls sooner than giati-
tude, but | cannot believe that this process
has yet reached point with our people
that would sustain the policy of remittfng
the care of these disabled veterans to the
inadequate agencies provided by local laws.
