IMMIGRATION REPORT
About Half the Passengers Arriving Can
Neither Read Nor Write.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The annual
report of Thomas Fitch, commission
er of immigration at New York, has
been received at the treasury depart
ment. The report shows that the
number of aliens who arrived during
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1901,
was 453, 1876. There were also 113,
056 citizens of the United States who
arrived from abroad. From COM
parison of the steerage immigration
for the last two years it is shown that
nearly $4,000 of the increase of last
year over the year before was in the
immigration from Southern Italy
alone. The number of returning
alien residents stands at 10 6 per cent
of the total immigration. In the
amount of money brought per capita
there appears to be an appreciable in
crease over last year, but the report
says:
"The conclusion unfortunately is
unavoidable that our immigration is
constantly increasing in illiteracy.
Not only are we drawing more and
more from the countries were illiteracy
is high but also the immigrants
themselves are showing higher per
centages of illiteracy. Nearly one
half of our steerage immigrants now
present an illiteracy of from 40 to
over so per cent. -

EXCITEMENT AT PUEBLO.
Frequent Murderous Assaults Upon Women
and Girls.

Pueblo. Colo, Oct. S.-This city
is in great excitement over a series
of murderous assaults upon women
and girls. From what can be learned
they seem to have been committed
by the same person, Negro or very
dark white man with his face black
ened. Last night Mrs. J. P Hen
derson was victim, being half killed
with club while alone in her home,
the assailant having induced her to
admit him by pretending he had a
telegram. He stole revolver when
he departed. Later, girl in a fam
lily named Hamilton was terribly
choked by man who had forced his
way in. He left on the bed where the
girl had been sleeping, the same re-
volver stolen at the other place. Mrs.
Hickey, who was struck down while
riding bicycle two nights ago is
still at the point of death with frac-
tured skull and can give no clear ac-
count of what occurred. Two very
young girls have recently been victims
of assaults of the most atrocious des-
cription. In another case a Negro
who seized young lady on the
porch of her home, was chased two
blocks by a young man who came
out, but escaped. The police have
been unable to get any definite infor-
nation. Report comes late tonight
of another case, which is now being
Investigated.

DOOMED TO THE GALLONS.
Governor Rosesr Declares Emphatically That
He win Not interfere.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 9.-James
6. Green, who is under sentence of
death for the murder of E. G. Ben
jamin, in Skamania county, last
March, need not base any hopes on
Communication of his sentence by
Governor Rogers. The governor made
that clear this afternoon when he in
formed q newspaper correspondent
that he would not interfere in the
carrying out of the execution of the
prisoner. Efforts have been made
to induce the governor to save Green
from the gallows. Two weeks ago
two ministers, members of the Meth
odist Episcopal conference, held in
this city, called on the governor and
asked him if a petition for executive
clemency would be OF any avail The
governor was emphatic in stating
that he wouldn't interfere.
In the past it has been the custom
where the trial judge and prosecuting
attorney asked for commutation,
for the governor to grant it, but in the
case of Green the governor said today
that even if the judge who tried Green
and the attorney who prosecuted him
were to join in a petition for clemen-
cy, it would not be granted. 1T was
a willful murder, and there were NO
extenuating circumstances, and I will
not under any circumstances inter
fere," said the governor.

FOUR TRAlNMEN KILLED
Rear.End Collision Of Freight Trains on the
Panhandle Road.

,Logansport. Ind, Oct. S.-Four
Panhandle trainmen met death near
Onward, IA miles southeast of here
in rear-end collision of freight
trains, the bodies of three being taken
out badly mutilated and the fourth
being almost entirely consumed by
fire.
During the night, Conductor Wea-
yer, in charge of the second section
of train No. 70, an engine and two
cabooses, left Hartford City for Lo-
gansport In the rear caboose were
Galbreath, Brosius and Greely, who
had been working on the gravel train
at Hartford City and who were en-
route to this city to spend Sunday
with their families. They were all
asleep when the train stopped near
Onward to make up steam. The
f1agman was sent out to watch for the
third section. from the east, and no
danger was thought of until the train
loomed up too close for any to escape
except Weaver, who jumped and got
off uninjured. The third section,
with Engineer John Patterson, had
attained high speed, and when it
struck the rear caboose the engine
reared into the air, turned clear
around and came down ON it's side in
the ditch, smashing a number OF
cars into kindling wood and burning
in the debris the sleeping trainmen
and the fireman.

BLOODY FIGHT AT A CHURCH.
Family Feud Causes the Death Of -Four Men
More Trouble Expected.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 9.-In a
bloody fight at the Union Baptist
church, at Big Springs, 10 miles
from Tazewell, Tenn, four men were
killed, two mortally wounded. and
three wounded less seriously.
There was preaching at the church
and about 900 people gathered there.
Just before the l O'Clock service
began, Tip Chadwell went to the
spring, 30 yards from the church.
Rush Morgan was there at the
spring, and began firing at Chadwell.
Both factions Immediately gathered,
and the fight lasted half an hour.
Sheriff Jones attempted to arrest Asa
Chadwell, who resisted. Both Brook
and Asa Chadwell are wounded.
The feud between the Morgans and
Chadwells has existed long time.
Last Christmas they met at Walnut
Hills, Va, when a pitched battle
ensued, in which several were killed.
Eighteen months ago they met near
the Hancock line. Fighting followed
and one was killed. Both the Chad
wells and Morgans are prosperous and
influential, and have large families
and all their members are fearless.

A VERY SHE DEVIL
OHIO WOMAN CHARGED WITH
FOURTEEN MURDERS.
List Includes -Four Husbands. Five Children
and One Sister-All the Deaths Are
Strangely Alike and Are Believed 10
Have Been Caused by Arsenic and Cop.
psras Poisoning.

Dayton, Ohio, Oct 9. = Mrs. ]. A,
Witmer,a widow residing in this city,
has been arrested by the police at the
instigation of the coroner, and is held
a prisoner at the central station
pending an investigation into very
seriuos charges.
Mrs. Wilmer, the police say, is sus-
pected of IA murders, the list incIud-
ing four husbands, five children, one
sister and four members of different
families in which she was EMPLOYED
as housekeeper.
The last supposed victim was her
sister, Mrs. Anna Pugh, who died a
week ago under mysterious circum-
stances. An autopsy performed at
the request of Mrs. Winners mother.
who came here from Detroit, is said to
have disclosed the presence of arsenic
and copperas poisoning in the stom-
ach. Following closely upon the
death of her first husband. Fred
Schweger, came, according to police
department data, the death of two
children. The second husband died
suddenly several years after the mar
riage, and three children of this mar
rage died in rapid, succession. The
third husband of Mrs. Wilmer was
William Stowe, who died at Middleton
under symptoms, it is stated, of arsenic
poisoning. Mr.. Stoves death created
sensation, and was the subject of an
investigation by the coroner. 1t
was shortly after Mr.. Stoves death
that Mrs. Wilmer came to DAYTON.
She afterward assumed the duties of
housekeeper for Charles K. Keller, a
widower. Keller died suddenly, and
the information since gained by the
coroner concerning Keller's death is
that his ailment was similar to that
OF person affected by poison. She
next acted as housekeeper for John A.
Wenz, an East End druggist. Wenz
died in September one year ago. The
doctors attributed his death to blood
poisoning, but now tell the coroner
that they were dissatisfied with their
diagnosis at the time. Two months
before Mr.. Wenz's death his 4-year
old son died suddenly Mrs. Stowe
next resided with a Mr.. and Mrs.
Gabler, on Best street, Rivelsid
There two persons died suddenly and
the coroner now says their sickness
was of the nature of arsenic poison
ing.
Her last husband, A. Wilmer, died
last April. In each instance death
was somewhat sudden, and the cases
were all strangely alike.
The prisoner is At years of age and
formerly lived in Middleton, this state.
She has two sons in the Philip
pines, and sister, it is stated, in a
New York asylum. No conceivable
motive for the suspected crimes has
been disclosed. Drugs which we're
found in the house occupied by Mrs.
Wilmer are in the possession of the
police and will be examined.

A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Boy Tied Up In a Bag and Allowed to Suf.
focate.

New York, Oct. 9.-The body of
Albert Robinson, 6-year-old boy,
who lived with his mother, a mulatto
woman, at 300 West Twetnty- first
street, was found this morning in an
area way at 361 West Twenty-second
street, tied up with his clothes in a
burlap bag. The coroner's physicians
made an autopsy on the boys body
this afternoon, and found that death
was due to asphyxiation. They found
a quantity of alcohol in the stomach
and serious lacerations of the lower
part of the abdomen. The physicians
pronounced it one of the most das-
tardly of crimes. Alonzo Watson,
waiter, whose mother is janitress of
the tenement where the boy lived,
was arrested and sent to the Tombs
under So, 600 bail on suspicion.
Tonight the police arrested Harry
Trieder, white, and William De
Lyons, Negro, on suspicion of being
connected with the murder OF the boy.
Captain Monihan gave it as his
opinion that the murder was COM
mitted in the rooms occupied by Trie-
der and De Lyons.

Colon, Colombia, Oct. 1O.-(Previ-

"A force of Liberals numbering at
least $50 attacked Moro island, COM
manding the entrance to the port of
Tumaco, September "a. The island
had all along been garrisoned with
less than 100 troops, we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition and COM
missary stores, including more than
$50 head of cattle and other provis-
ions in proportion. The landing
was effected before daybreak by means
of canoes.
simultaneously the island was
stormed from the other end by Lib
erals on the mainland. Moro island
is surrounded by shallow sand banks.
and the only means of approaching
Tumaco is by the narrow river which
is within easy range of the island.

hole right through her above the

then steamed to the farthest point
the tide would permit and again an

It is significant that shortly after

RANSOM TO BE PAID.
Money for Miss Stones Release to be Ad-
vanced by United States.

Paris, Oct. 10.-A letter received by
the Havas agency from Salonica,
dated October 6, says:
''The American consul here has
just received orders to make the ar
rangements with the vail (governor)
for the payment of the ransom of
Miss Stone. The United States will
advance the money, afterwards set
tliing with Turkey.
"The Turkish authorities have
made numerous arrests among the
Bulgarian population, without dis
tinction of religion, and nearly all
have been put to torture in the hope
OF abstracting information. A, prison
er named Dimtri said an under
standing existed between the protes-
tants and the Macedonian commit
tee, and that Miss Stone was even
acting in concert with them with
the view of obtaining funds for a
political-religious propaganda. These
declarations, wrung from Dimitri un-
der torture, are valueless. What is
certain is that the captain ofthe
band designated for the payment OF
the ransom a place in the proximity
of the Roumanian frontier, which
proves that he hopes to escape the
Turkish police, and that the Bulga-
rian police do not cause him anxiety.
"The condition of affairs is shown
by the fact that five or six bands oi
brigands of II to Is men each have
become SO bold between Strumitza
and Kuprili that the officials of the
Oriental railroad have requested the
military authorities to reinforce the
troops guarding the track and
bridges"
