SIBERIAN HORRORS

Awful Deeds of Cruelty.

Experienced by the Two American Sailors
Awful Deeds of Cruelty.
San Francisco, GALA, March "a
Louis A. Paradyce, a sailor who arrived
from China on the Gaelic, tells q story
of horrible trial in Siberian prisons.
He was sailor on the scaling schooner
Mary II. Thomas, and with another
sailor named Wilson went ashore on the
coast OF Kamschatka to I'll water casks.
A hurricane drove the schooner off and
the men were left ashore, They had no
provisions, and travelled inland to q
camp Of Russian soldiers. They were
seized and accused OF being spies. They
were cent TO Carasack, convict station.
Paradyce tells Of horrible cruelty in
Aicted on tho prisoner there. Although
Wilson and himself were roughly treated
they were not flogged as other prison
ers. There were about 6,000 convlcts
ut the station and every Wednesday
those who had disobeyed rules during
the week wore given fifty lashes with
tho knout. A woman about to become
a mother was knouted and three hours
later gave birth to dead child. OF
G,O00 convicts in camp 500 wore ball
and chain. Many men were too feeble
to walk and were dragged along by their
companions, Soldiers would prod
thcm with bayonets to make them
move more quickly. The convicts were
fed with black bread aud raw salt meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson were
taken to Vladivostock. From there
they we're sent to the Kara gold fields,
a fifteen days journey, They suffered
frightfully from hunger and fatigue.
Wilson gavo out and had to be carried
to q wagon. The commander Of the
ship Marion demanded that tho prls-
oners be given to him. They wero
taken to Shanghai on the Marion and
placed in hospital. AS soon as Para.
dyce was able to travel he was sent to
Hong Kong on the Gaelic and thoy
came here.

by n Terrific Storm-HOuSeS UnrOoFed and
Number OF Persons Injured.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 24.-One Of
the most terrific wind and rain storms
in the history OF Nashville swept over
the city last night between 7 and 10
o'clock, uprooting trees and telephone
poles in various parts OF the city.
The greatest force OF the storm was
felt in the northern part Of the city,
where several houses were unroofed.
One owned by ]. ]. Rucker and occu-
pied by w. +. Bradford, was completely
razed to tho ground. Bradford was
taken from his home in badly
bruised condition. He Is not fatally
hurt. Mcneil Drumright, aged 81, who
boarded with Bradford, was taken from
the debris in b mangled condition and
can live only few hours. Eugene
Drumright, aged IS, and q brother OF
Mcneil, was horribly mangled and was
dead when found.
1t is feared that other people were in
jured or killed in the building, the on.
tire debris, however, will have TO be
removed before anything definite can
be learned. Everything in the building
was ruined. About 800 feet distant the
roof Of the grocery store OF Mum q
Slightenthaler was blown off and their
stock OF goods totally destroyed.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 24.-The
state department has received official
information that Queen Victoria has
raised the rank OF Sir Julian Paunce.
fote, her representative in Washington,
from that Of envoy extraordinary and
plenipotentiary TO that Of ambassador,
and that his credentials as such arc on
their way here. Under the provisions
OF the diplomatic and consular Nppro-
priation bill Of March l, 1888 President
Cleveland is authorized to confer the
same rank upon our representative at
London. Sir Julian Pauncefote will be
the first minister TO Washington to hold
the title of ambassador, but it is highly
probable that France, Germany, Russia
and Austria will be promnt to follow
tho example thus set by England aud
change the titles Of their ministers to
ambassadors, thus necessitating by in-
ternational courtesy q corresponding
change on our part.

morning when telephone message was
received from Bellaire to the effect that
a squad Of police would be wanted at
the wharf on the arrival of tho steamer
Courier.
Lieut.. Gaus, seven officers, four
watchmen, four reporters and several
spectators were at hand when the
steamer arrived. a rush was made for
the stage plank to ascertain what was
the matter.
Nothing less than a big robbery or Q
murder was expected. AS it turned
out, Mike Martin, a passenger from
Sisteraville, had robbed the master OF
the boat, Captain Litten, Of his watch
about o'clock, The trial will occur
Tuesday morning, when the boat re-
turns from Pittsburgh,
Martin claimed that lie misIook the

him to do this. His story seems
plausible.

CARRoLLroN, GA, March 24.-This
town has been in q state Of panic all
yesterday owing to the actions Of eleven
masked men whom no one dared resist.
Most of the victims OF the brutos' as.
aaults were aged people. and it Is said
that the young men OF the village were
too cowardly to interfere with their
deeds. They first assaulted a woman
and then knocked down with pistol
an old man Of eighty years who tried to
stop them. Next they whipped one
woman almost to death, and then
whipped man who ventured to protest
so severely that 1t is believed he will
die. After that they whipped another
man, and brutally knocked down and
kicked lady seventy years old whom
they met in the street during their raid
through the town.

EVERYONE should contribute some
thing to the guarantee against loss for
this years racing. There will be no fair,
and consequently the race meeting will
be the only event in Helena this year Of
general interest throughout the state.
The loss, in any event, would be small
and the subscriptions would not be
b~urdensome to anyone. The directors
of the association, however, are not to
be blamed for refusing to carry the loss
from veal to year. 1t is not q personal
business enterprise with them and they
are entitled to much credit for the pub
lie spirit shown IN the past success of

right spirit Of encouragement and thus
assure Helena's position for this year at
