OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PAUL MILOUKOFF TO LECTURE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
Case Against s. j. Gordon Dismissed
Proposition for Another Polar
Expedition.
Corresp ,ndence of the Associated Press.

Corresp ondence of the Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG. December T. 1901.
Paul N. Miloukoff, the author of num-
Der of historical works, including Essays
on the History of Civilization in Russia,
will go to the United States in 1903, at the
invitation of the Chicago University, to de-
liver a series of lectures on. the subjects
which he discusses in this work, and on the
Macedonian question He is now devoting
his leisure hours to perfecting himself in
the English language, in order that he may
be able to deliver his lectures eXtempora-
neously. Meantime he still resides at Ou-
delnaya, near this city, waiting the deci-
sion of the authorities in the matter of ac-
cusatons of liberalism manifested during
the troubles Of last spring.
Simon James Gordon, the Russo-Ameri-
can who returned to Russia about thirty
years ago, shortly after his naturalization,
and who was arrested last winter on the
charge Of having become an American citi-
zen without the permission of the czar,
seems to foresee an end to his troubles.
He was kept in prison, without bail, for
several months; was subsequently released
| on 25,OO0 roubles bail and, finally, owing to
| the representations of Ambassador Tower,
was permitted to go abroad for short
| time He informed Mr.. Tower a few days
| ago that the charge against him had been
| dismissed and he made renewed application
for a passport. Mr.. Tower referred the
| matter to the State Department.
| Mr.. Gordon's case came under ruling OF
| the State Department that his long resi-
J dence abroad and his failure to return to
| the United States rendered his American
| citizenship doubtful, or, possibly, suspended
| his rights as an American citizen.
| A St. Petersburg capitalist has promised
| to supply 10000 roubles for the expenses
| of north polar exploring party which
| plans to leave next year in the ship Pante-
lennon.

THREE NEGROES KILLED
THEY RAIDED A SALOON AT DAVY,
w. VA.
Young Man Refused to Nacate at
Their Order and Opened
Fire on Them.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Elkhorn, W. Va, last night says: wayne
Damot an eighteen-year-old boy, whose
home Is in Boyd county, on the Big SANDY
river shot TO death three negroes at Davy
this county, shortly after dark tonight and
then walked deliberately down the street
as though nothing unusual had happened
The negroes killed are Fred. Watts, Lem
Booton and Henry Good, all desperate
characters.
The scene of the ira gedy was in Dye &
Co.'S saloon, not far from the Norfolk ana
Western passenger station. This being
pay day at all the mines in this section, the
miners and more especially the negroes,
are enjoying their usual spree.
Holiday time being near, they were more
boisterous than usual tonight, and a crowd
of six or eight negroes of Davy concluded
to take charge of the town.
They went down the main street, firing
their revolvers in the air and defying the
officers to make an attempt at arrest.
On reaching Dye & Co.'S saloon they con-
tinued discharging their firearms, and
finally informed the crowd within that they
must all depart. Bartenders and athers-in
fact. all inside save the fearless young Da-
nOt-obeyed the command of the negroes
and made hurried exit Damot occupied
"a seat lust behind a large stove in the rear
of the room. The negroes turned their
guns on him. Damot, although young, was
familiar with firearms. In twinkling he
had his revolver in action 1t was OF large
ualiber and of good pattern
Before the negroes realized their danger
three of them had been shot down and an
other slightly wounded. The others in the
party rushed from the room. while Damot
calmly reloaded his revolver as he walked
through the saloon and followed them to-
ward the door. He turned down the street
walking slowly, and has not yet been ar
rested.
1t is understood that he is being protected
by some OF the best residents of the town.
The whites of the town were soon on tn,
scene in large numbers, and were armed Il
prevent any violence that might be at
tempted by the negroes on young Damo
should his whereabouts become known
There seems to be no desire on the part o
officials to arrest Damot. His position be
hind the stove probably saved his life, a.
the negroes fired dozen shots at him.
Damot had been in the timber camps o

BOYS PITIFUL STORY.
Young Oyster Dredger, Says He Was
Beaten and Otherwise Mistreated.

Young Oyster Dredger, Says He Was
Beaten and Otherwise Mistreated.
Another oyster dredger on his way home
from the lower Potomac stopped here to-
day and called at police headquarters to
ask for assistance. He gave his name as
John Caf1isch. and said he was nearly
seventeen years old. His home, he said. is
at No. SO Rohr street, Buffalo.
According to the boys story he shipped
on an oyster boat in Baltimore the 18th Of
October and was promised $12 a month.
He says he was working on the lower
Machodoc the day that Edward Herzog
was beaten and burned. Cafiisch told the
police that he witnessed part Of the as
Sault.
Last Monday, he said, he was put ashore
with another boy and was given $4.65. or
about $50 less than the amount due him.
Before leaving the boat, he alleges, the
captain forced him to sign a receipt for
all his wages and then laughed at him
when he handed him the small amount Of
money. The boy was told by the captain
that he would have to institute proceed
ings in Baltimore to compel the payment
of his salary.
Caflisch also claims that he was severely
beaten by the first mate while he was on
the vessel. He was referred to the board
Of charities, but as he did not want to go
home he was not furnished transportation.

wouldn't Change His Room.

Thomas Collins was arrested at the Cen
trail Union Mission last night for engaging
in disorderly conduct, and making an as
sault on Thos. Peragay, a watchman at the
institution.
Collins has been stopping at the mission
several days and last night he was re-
quested to change his room. He refused
to obey the request and when the watch
man attempted to explain matters to Col
lins he became very loud and struck the
officer In the mouth several times. SO Judge
raigned before him on the two charges this
morning.
Collins declined to make a statement o1
the affair to the court, and he was fined
$40 for the assault and $40 for the disorder

LAUREL, Nd, December 2l, 1901.
Unless the unforeseen happens Laurel
will, within the next month or six weeks.
be equipped with first-class water works
system. The work of construction has
reached the finishing touches.
Everything is in readiness at the dyke,
constructed on the Van Tyne farm, and
which will first receive the water to be
utilized by the town. This reservoir will
cover an area of about six acres of land
every vestige of vegetation having been
first removed and retaining wall of earth
constructed to ward off the surface water.
Provisions have been made to convey the
water. by means of large pipes under the
surface of the reservoir, finally filling 1t at
distance below the dyke. From the res
ervoir the water will find its way to the
pumping station by gravity. At the latter
point there is a large well sixteen feet deep
and ten feet in diameter, and from which
the water will be forced by the pumps to
the standpipe. The latter will be seventy
feet high and eighteen feet in diameter,
and is estimated to have a capacity of
about 100000 gallons. The standpipe will
feed the mains of the town. All the con-
nections between the dyke and pumping
| station and the latter place with the stand
pipe, well as the mains throughout the
| town, have been completed and are ready
for use.
/ While provisions have not as yet beer
| made for the installation of a fire-fghtins
| apparatus for the town, still the matter
| has received the careful attention of many
| OF the citizens interested in the plan. There
| seems to be an inclination on the part Of
| number to provide three hose carts, eacl
| to be supplied with 500 feet Of hose, a car
| to be located in each ward The force t
| man these vehicles will consist entirely O
| volunteers. 1t is thought that by joinin,
| forces any two Of the machines can reacl
the outlying houses of the town in tn,
| case of fire.
