sultan IN A FORGITING MOOD.
He Grants Amnesty to Two Thousand
Armenians.

London, Dec pa dispatch from
Constantinople to the Central News
says that the sultan has issued de-
cree granting amnesty to two thousand
Armenians who had been convicted
either of crimes against the govern
ment or against persons or property,
or who were awaiting trial on such
charges. In addition his majesty COM
muted the death sentences passed on
ninety Armenians to Imprisonment in
fortress and promises that these pris-
oners will be given their liberty if they
behave themselves for three months.
This clemency is due to the inter-
Vention of Monsignor Ormanian, the
new Armenian patriarch, who recently
requested the sultan to show mercy to
the many Armenian prisoners. The
sultan then consented to grant a gen.
eral amnesty on condition that the
patriarchial mixed council guarantee
the future good behavior of the Ar
menians affected by his act of clem-
ency.

A Kentucky Lynching Party Set Fire to
the Town of Mayfield.

Paducah, KY, Dec. 22.-Mayfield,
where Jim Stone, who assaulted Mrs
Green. was lynched, and filled with pis-
tol shots, was lit up by incendiary fires
last night. To-day Charles Bolin,
white, lies at home with a revolver
wound in his neck, while a dozen ne
groes are fleeing beyond the reach of
mob law, and blackened ruins mark
the former location of blind tigers
and low dives. Two dive keepers were
wounded and one may die.
The lynchers having satisfied their
vengence on the body of Stone, started
last night to weed out the notorious
blacks An assault was made on re-
sort run by Tom Chambers. Tom
opened fire and repulsed the attacking
party. Bolin was dangerously, and
others were slightly injured. A second
attempt to storm the house was sue
cessful Chambers escaped, but the
building, a wholesale beer house, which
is operated in violation of the local
option law, and other buildings tenant
ed by rough negroes, were fired and de-
stroyed.
The mob then began pursuit. The
negroes fled in every direction. One
man was captured and severely whip
ped. A dancing master suspected Of
crooked work, was ordered to leave
town also.
To-day Mayfield was filled with arm
ed and excited men.
Trouble is expected at any time. The
court house is used as headquarters.
Posses are in hot pursuit of the ne
groes, and more lynchings are ex-
pected.

PLANS F0R NEW UNION STATION.
Boston Terminal Company Decides to Re-
wise the Old Plans.

Boston, Dec. 22.-Mayor Quincy this
afternoon attended a meeting of the
Boston Terminal company at which the
revised plans for the new union station
were considered In detail and received
the approval of the mayor. The plan
will now go to the railroad commissions
ers for their approval, and that body
may decide to give a public hearing
upon the acceptance of the plan before
giving its formal Endorsement. The
plans provide for a complete installa-
ton in the new station which is to pro-
vide for handling large amount OF
electric traffic.
The tracks are so arranged that the
suburban business will be handled
apart from that of the through lines, SO
far as possible, and on the New York.
New Haven and Hartford tracks by
electricity, the third rail system being
provided for. Architecturally, the plans
are a great improvement over those
which were submitted to the legislature
last year, and 1t is the belief of mem
bers of the Boston Terminal company
that they will meet with general APP
proval. The plans will be made public
tomorrow.

GEND4RMES KILLED SEVEN MEN.
Band of Anarchists Carrying the Republi.
can Flag Refuse to Disperse.

Madrid, Dec. pa small band of
men carrying a republican flag as
sembled to-day at Novelda, province
of Alicante, and when called upon to
disperse by the gendarmes, refused to
do so. They were again ordered to dis
perse and upon their second refusal
the gendarmes fired upon them, killing
seven of them. The others fled precip-
itably, but the gendarmes pursued and
captured several of them. A search
was made of the lodgings of the pris-
oners and number of dynamite bombs
were found. The police are at a loss
to decide whether the assembling of the
men was for the purpose of making a
demonstration of sympathy for the an
archists sentenced Saturday at BARGE
Iona, or whether it was a manifesto
ton of republicanism. The finding of
the bombs tends to make them believe
the men are anarchists.

Young Frizzen Arrested for Endeavoring
to Murder Mrs. Young.

who shot Mrs. Edith Caldon Young in

nesday and then attempted to kill
himself, was placed under arrest this

tempt to kill and murder with malice
aforethought.
Frizzell is under a keeper and will
be arraigned as soon as his health will
permit, which will undoubtedly be in a
few days, as he is improving, as is his
intended victim. Since she has become
able to tell her story it is more gen
orally believed than his, but there are
circumstances in the case that would
look as if she may have planned the
shooting, as claimed by Frizzell.
