able to a third reading bill, was
voted down.
? RECORDING MORTGAGES.
The next bill taken up was Mr.
Dorroh's to reduce the time al
lowed for recording mortgages
from 40 to 5 days.
Mr. Spears moved to strike out
the enacting words.
Mr. Dorroh spoke in favor of
the bill. He had introduced it at
the request Of the Greenville bar
The 40 day limit as 10 now stands
admits of too much fraud.
Mr. Wilson said it would be a
hardship on the people in the
country to have but five DAYS in
which TO go to the court house to
lille their papers.
Mr. Strom said it would require
a man to keep a "mule and a
niger ready TO go to the court
house" at any time.
Mr. Spears said that the people
understand the general law, and
1t would create confusion TO
change it, Furthermore, the bill
would not prevent fraud, for a
party, if on fraud intent, would
commit the fraud within five days
as well az within forty.
Mr. Cooper thought fiye days
too short time and 40 days too
long. He favored an amendment
making 20 days the limit.
Mr. Kinard said that people
in the country who sake papers
do not like to send to the court
house every time a note is taken.
He moved to indefinitely post
pone the bill. This was carried
and the bill was killed.

MIR StrOm and Mr. Stackhouse
spoke in favor of it. Mr. Wingo
made q good speech reciting the
necessity for skilled labor in
operating machinery on public
works. This labor is usually
employed, when convict labor
would do rs well. But convicts
if sont up for short terms, are
discharged by the time they get

RUSSIAN BRUTALITY
Being Shown in the Recent Attacks Upon the
University Students.

st. Petersburg, March 21.-It is signifi-
cant that though the police report on thu
recent riots published. as expressly stat
cd, in order TO correct false rumoTS con
serious of the rumors circulated. which
are To he effect that men and women
were killed here and elsewhere.
The report does not mention the subject
of The studc nts. 1t gives. however, the
names of four who GIed fr1rc. including
one woman The report is not generally
credited with being an importial state
mant. 1t is claimed that the passage re
hating to the ulSi urbance in ,he church
is particularly distorted, manifcstly il X;
against The students, the Intellectual elS-
ments and the factory workmen.
The statements that students entered
the church smoking cigarettes. that a stu
caught the chief priest ruLcly by the arm
are discreditod by eve Witnesses Thr
facts are, the trouble occurred outside
the church until the CosSacks pressed 800
persons into the church and foIght them
To the back wall. 1t is also denied tina q
holy water was used to dress wounds. The
students sent expressly for other water.
1t is learned now that the police not
only prepared for the revolt themselves
but made previous arrangements at one
wounded. They also had carriages ready
in neghboring cuurtyardG. Lectures Will
hardly be possible for the remainder of
the year at any of the higher Institutions
The participation of the factory hands
in the riots is considered extremely grave,
so far as the future is concerned. 1t is
understood that measures will lie taken,
Monday. to fore stall the possible march
ing of laboring men from the suburbs to
the center OF the city.
The Society of Russian Au hOrS has
sent to all the ministers a protest against
the conduct of the police and CoSSacks.

Attempt to Burn Chas. Cof-

Family Aroused at "A. M. by BrisI
Fire in the Basement.
Window Forced and Oil Sprink!ed About b,
the InceEdiary.

Berwick, Me, March 21.-A deter
mined attempt was made. at O'Clock
this morning, to burn the residence of
Charles Coffin here. but the fire was
discovered and extinguished before
much damage was done.
Mr.. Coffin. who with his wife and
little daughter occupied sleeping rooms
in the upper part of the house, was
aroused about , o'clock and going
down stairs found Il brisk fire in the
basement The flames were confined
to the coal bin, and with the aid of
his wife, Mr.. Coffin succeeded in ex-
tinguishing them.
He then made an investigation and
found that ccller window had been
forced and kerosene oil literally
sprinkled about the coal bin. There
was every indication that the blaze
had the fire not been detected just
when il was, the house undoubtedly
would have been destroyed and the
sleeping inmates might have perished.
Last December the residence OF Ere 4
Kirby, MIR. Collins son-in-law, was
destroyed by mysterious fire. and
since that time Deputies Spencer and
j. NJ. Miles Of SacO, have been invcsti-
eating the affair. Todays fire is sup
posed to have been the work Of the
same person or persons.

and learning of the tragedy had await
"a him. Coroner Smell gathered the
party mentioned and drove to Battle
Ridge, as stated.
On entering the house they found
Mari in q room by himself. apparent
iy not realizing all that had taken
Ilace, though feeling badly over some
thing. acting daZed and stupid. He did
not make the slightest objection to be-
ing taken into custody by the coroner
who later placed him in charge of Dep
uty Sheriff Getchell. The irons were
PLACED on his wrists and he said not
4 word. calmly Offering his hands to
the officer. Mari would briefly answer
questions put to him but seemed To
take no interest in the occasion. Sher-
III Getchell with another man then
started with Mari by team for Clin-
ton village.
Coroner Smell and DR.. Shaw did what
was necessary to be done with the re-
mains OF the poor little children, then
cold ana stiff in death. and prepared
them for the undertaken.
Coroner Smell noted all the appear
ancrs of the bodies and their surround
ings. found the deadly weapon used by
the craZed father, on the wood box
where he had carefully placed it, and
then left for Clinton village, arriving
shortly after Sheriff Getchell with the
prisoner, At about s o'clock tonight.
The party. wet and cold after their
long ride in the rain and over almost
impossible roads, went to the hotel
for supper.
Mari was taken into the office and
conducted TO Il chair in one corner
where he was seated with his back to-
ward the people. the office being
crowded with excited persons from the
streets and a public concert being held
across the street.
Silent and with bowed head he sat
there. cap on his head. oyercoat around
his form and his hands tightly locked
together by the steel bracelets. Sher-
if Getchell took his handkerchief and
wiped the rain drops from MarrS face
but he didn't seem to notice it. On be-
ing asked a question he would mutter
an answer and then return to his
thoughts.
Mr.. Getchell asked him if he would
like some supper and he merely shook
his head in the negative. In fact he
hardly moved throughout the entire
time spent in the hotel.
There being no suitable place here
to keep the man should he become vio-
lent it was decided to take him to Wa
terville. so about 9.15 he was taken in
Il team to the depot and the $40 train
taken for that city.
Mari paid no attention to the officers
during the ride, the people at the sta
tion or those in the smoking car of
the train during the short ride. He
would answer question, but that was
all.
Arriving at Waterville. Marr was
placed in the police station where he
