FROZEN AND STARVING.
Awful Predicament Of a Aian Found In tn,
Cellar Of a Barn.

New YORK. Jan. I'm the cold and foul
smelling cellar of an unused and dilap-
idated barn in the rear of 635 West Fifty
second street starving man was found
last evening by two young men named
Treadwell and Weber. The man was
lying on his back ON heap of ru bbish and
old wheels.
His face bore signs of suffering, and he
was so weak he could hardly lift his arm.
When he saw he was discovered he raised
his head from a wheel on which 1t rested
and moaned, "Waterl Water! Give me
water"
1t was found that his feet We're frozen
as well as part of his legs, since where he
lay cold water trickled from the roof
above him in small but steady stream.
He was removed from the cellar 20 the
next house. After cup of hot coffee,
which he could scarcely swallow, and a
piece of bread. soaked in milk, he recov-
cred sufficiently to say that he was Charles
Hendrickson, a sailor, and that he had
entered the cellar II days ago, having
been chased there by whom he did not
know.
'.Such water as / have obtained" he
said, was that which leaked through
the roof" Why he stayed there he could
not say To-day" he said. lis my 42nd
birthday, but by s O'Clock tonight ex-
pect to be dead
After that he lapsed into silence and to
all questions he just shook his head. No
money was found in his pockets. but from
papers on his person it was found that he
was discharged on Dec - from the ship
j. H. Macy of Maine.
Hendrickson was taken to Bellevue
hospital, where his condition is critical.

TO ACT IN UNISON.
Big Railroad Companies to Reduce Salaries Of
Employees.

CHICAGO, Jan. Elm view of the bust
ness outlook, there is growing feeling
among railroad managers in the west
that further retrenchment, as an offset to
shrinking receipts, is necessary. Refer
ring to the question of expenses, the gen
eral manager of one of the most success
full lines said: 1--WE have been steadily
reducing expenses for months, but dimin
ishing business demands SILL more heroic
treatment than has yet been applied
The reform, however, can best be accom-
plished by concert of action among al
the leading roads. and the question vii:
soon be brought before the General Mana
gers association for action"
When asked if general reduction If
the wages of the employees was contem
plated he said that a move in that dlrec-
ton was necessary among the others, ant
that it would doubtless be made: but in
order to insure success with as little fric-
ton as possible all the lines must act as a
unit. Other managers express equally
positive sentiments. Yet it is evident
from the drift Of their conversation that
while they appreciate the fact that they
are paying more for services than the
earnings of their roads justify. they are
reluctant to make the reductions that
justice to the owners of the roads de
mands.
1t is evident, however, that the move
must soon be made, as retrenchments have
already been instituted in other directions
to an extent that they cannot be pushed
further. 1t is also useless to think of re
lief from advanced rates, as shippers
would at once appeal to the state ano
national commissioners, who administer
the laws for the regulation of railway

FIENDlSH BARBARI1Y.
Russian Catholics Slaughtered "bj
Order of the Gar"
Nearly 100 kiiIec-o!kegs Died From Inju
Officially" Denied.

BERLIN, Jan. 2.-In November last the
Vossische Zei.ung of this city published a
story from Koyno, Russia, sta'iag that the
imperial authorities, members of the Greek
church, had ordered the Catholic church at
Krosche closed. With the purpose, it was
said, of preventing the order from being
carried out large number of Catholics
took possession of the church and held it
day and night. The Governor sent troop
of Cossacks to dislodge the defenders of
the church and desperate conflic. resulted.
Twenty Catholics are said to have been
killed and 100 wounded. Others, it was
stated, were pursued by the Cossacks, who
drove them into the river where many were
drowned.
The Russian papers came out with an
official version Of the affair. They said the
Gar ordered TIE church closed so that an
agricultural college might be built on the
site. They asserted that there was an en-
counter between the military and police on
one 81 lie ard the Catholics on the other, and
four policemen were slightly wounded, but
branded the story Of the massacre OF the
Catholics as pure invention.
The Cologne Gazette few days age
claimed to know that the story of the mac
,acre was true To-day the Woke Zei!uT g
published mail advices from krosche, bear
ing out in every particular the first story OF
the killing of the Catholics. IL adds that
the Cossacks displayed the greatest barblr-
,ty and took flemish delight in killing tie
lefenceless women and children.
IL is said that some Of the younger women
were subjected to the vilest indignlties by
the Cossacks. After the capture of tn,
.hurch by the soldiers the buildings WAS
iesecrated in every consi lorable way This
authorities ordered all the prisoners fiogged
md the order Was carried out in the marx '
lace. The women as well as men were
stripped until practically naked, and sur
rounded by the heart!es' Cossacks anc
,rtho ,ox Russians, were whipped Will
kpous.
The number of persons were killed Is
n 1t Il fnitely stated; ut rerort places tie
number at from 20 to 100, with very large
number so severely injured that they have
since died of their injuries or manned for
life. The story has excited widespread in
d gnation, and persons conversant with the
lture of the Cnssack., place no faith in
lc official denial of their actions on this
occasion.
