RUSSIAN RASKOLNIKI.
More Victims Of This Fanat-
ical Sect Found Walled Up.
MANY CORPSES MAY BE UNEARTHED
Basis of Their Weird and Terrible Greed
Was That Salvation Could Only he
Secured By the Sacrifice OF
Their own Lives.

ST. PETERSBURG, oct. 6.-Fresh
excavations at Ternovslsy, in the dis
trict of Tireaspol. not far from Odessa
the scene of the living burials OF a
number Of persons belonging 10 the re-
ligious sect known as the Raskolnih,
who had been walled up alive by Feo-
dore KOvalef In order that they
might secure salvation by self immo-
lation, have resulted in the discovery
OF six more bodies of men, women and
children. The search continues, and IL
Is expected that about 30 corpses Will
be unearthed.
The czar, as told early In June last,
IS taking strong personal interest in
the extraordinary occurrences at Ter
novsky Kovaleff, the fanatical execu-
tioner Of the persons buried alive, Is
quite convinced of the sanctity of his
act. and it Is believed probable that he
win be confined for life in a monastery
as a madman.
One Of the chief figures i'm this terri-
BILE drama Is a well educated woman,
Vera Makeveyev, who, as Sister Vi
talia, seems to have been sort of
priestess Of the fanatical sect She is
described as being of commanding fig
ure with wonderfully lustrous and ex-
pressive eyes, ana as being possessed
Of attractive and persuasive eloquence,
which gave her an absolute influence
over her followers.
According to a correspondent who in
vestigated this strange affair, Sister
Vitalia last year predicted the final
cataclysm Of a misgoverned world. The
correspondent adds
when the census was taken she per-
suaded the sect that it was ordained
that she should take the roll call of
those who were TO be summoned to the
\ judgment seat. All went to prison for
their refusal TO give the census particu-
lars. In jail they refused to eat, and
they were not liberated until they We're
almost dead.
1T appears that the wife of Kovalefl
was persuaded that the census was in
tended to compel them all to embrace
the orthodox faith. and she determined
TO sacrifice herself and her children.
"Kovaleff, who was really among the
least fanatcal Of the sect Mortified by
his wifes avowal, sought the advice OF
Sister Vitala. The latter commended
the mothers laudable sacriheial reso-
luton with such eloquence that Kova-
left consented to wall up his own family
and Sister Vitalia with them"
