YOUNG FiEKDS CONFESS.
Youths Under Arrest for Wrecking New
York Central Train Admit Their
EUiH

ROME, N. Y, Nov. 20-The Coroner
jury in the case of those killed in yester-
days wreck on the New York Central,
brought out the testimony of the sweet
heart of young Hildreth, one of the four
boys under arrest. To her Hildreth de-
tailed the affair after it had occurred.
The boys had been reading sensational
novels, but became alarmed when they
saw the consequences of their fiendish act,
and fled. One of them lost his hat in the
flight, and it was this that led to their
capture.
Three of the boys have confessed, but
one remains silent. The evidence of all
three of the others duplicates him and
makes Hildreth the leader of the gang.
Their object was robbery, and they say
they expected TO get $4,000 from the dead
or dying passengers. The boys don't seem
to feel any severe pangs of remorse.

DIR. FLOURN0YS DEAD.
His Passing Due to Knife Wound Received
in His famous Duel With
Garth

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 20.-Dr. Thomas
Flournoys, a principal in the famous
bowieknife duel between himself and
Edgar Garth at the University of Virginia
in 1854, died here tonight from the effects
of wounds received in that encounter.
Both men were wounded in the ARRAY,
Garth desperately.
The trouble grew out of controversy
between kinsman of Flournoys and
Garth. The former took up the quarrel
and challenged Garth. Both men were
cool and determined. The fight, though
conducted without seconds was perfectly
fair. 1t was continued until Garth fell to
the ground.
The father of Garth became Flournoys'
bondsman and kept him from being sent
to prison. Within twenty-four hours after
the fight Garth summoned his opponent to
what he supposed was his death bed, and
there friendship began between the men
aud continued as long as they lived.

Two Gems of Untruthfuhness Sent Out by
the Chicago Associated
orocc

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 20.-The mas
sacres in Asia Minor and the troubles
which environ the Sultan of Turkey
threatening the dismem berment of his
empire and menacing his life, being the
all-absorbing topic of the hour, the small
portion of the reading public Of New York
and other cities who purchase the news
papers served with the "news" of the
Chicago Associated Press, not being aware
of it's sources, were startled yesterday
afternoon to read the following ''cable-
gram:
BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov. ia dispatch re-
ceived here from Sofia, Bulgaria, says that the
Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Hamid, has been
poisoned. No details are given.
The only element of verisimilitude con-
tanned in this alleged Sofia dispatch via
Berlln-it might just as properly have
been dated Port Jervis or Cape Town via
Bangkok, Chattahoochee or Penn Yan-is
conveyed in the sentence, mo details are
given" Never was SO solid and indie
structible chunk of truth hurled from
the "didn't -know-its was-loaded' depart
ment of the Chicago Associated Press. OF
course mo details were given" There
were no details. The most exhaustive
search in Berlin via Sofia and Sofia via
Berlin has famed to discover the Slightest
suspicion of "a detail or the faintest reason
or remotest pretext for sending out such a
canard, and the only inference is that it
was put out in the hope of influencing
prices, which result was achieved in Chi
cago, as evidenced by to-day's report that
wheat opened to-day at an advance es-
tablished yesterday afternoon on the
rumor of the death of the Sultan of Tur-
key"
Not newspaper in Berlin printed line
even dimly suggesting the poisoning OF
the Sultan, and nobody in Sofia has heard
of such rumor.
Not satisfied with the glory of sending
out it's cheat" of which the United Press
did not have the merest mention, the Chi
cago Associated Press sprung upon it's
long suffering clients this morning the
following gem of accuracy and exhaustive
information:
LONDON, Eng. Nov 20.-A report has Just
been received here from Constantinople that
Rustem Pasha is dead.
For the information of the benighted
readers of the newspapers gulled by the
Chicago Associated Press, it may be men,
toned that Rustem Pasha was the Turkish
ambassador to the Court of st. James and
that that aged statesman and diplomat
died in London, where he had been i'll for
several days with congestion of the lungs.
Why it was necessary for the London
agent of the Chicago Associated Press to
have recourse to Constantinople to obtain
an Important piece of London news is not
explained. The inference Is that he did
not know what was going on.

DEPARTMENT OF THE EAST.
of General Miles iil
His Annudt Report.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 20.-Be-
yond the routine movement of troops in
the Department of the East during the last
fiscal year General Miles, who was in COM
mand at the date OF the report from that
department, has little to discuss. The
general recommends that the, posts be
supplied 'sub-calibers" for practice work
of heavy artillery, and the enlistment for
the long term of ten years for special
class OF non-commissioned officers to be
trained as experts in artillery fire.
All of the infantry in the department
and part of the artillery had been armed
with the new rife, which has given salts
faction, except in the sighting and some
minor defects which no doubt will be cor
rected.
The consolidated post mess was not en-
tirely satisfactory and the old company
mess is believed to be better.

ask that the financial statement be taken
up for discussion at an early date. 1t is
