OHIO EVENT OBSERVED.

Centennial Anniversary Assembling
of Framers' First Constitution.
Chillicothe, o., Nov. 29,--Today this
city, the original capital of the north
west territory which formed the states
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin, celebrated one of the
most important events in the history
of the state of Ohio, the first of the
states to enter statehood. The event
celebrated was the centennial annlver-
sary of the assembling of the conven-
tion which framed the first constitu-
ton of the state of Ohio.
The tablet was presented to the

ley, a great grandson of Edward Tiff
fin, the first governor of Ohio.
It was accepted by Wallace D.
Yaple, mayor of the city, and was uu-
yelled by Effie Scott, a grand daugh-
ter of Governor William Allen and a
great granddaughter of Governor Dun
can Macarthur.
In the afternoon in Memorial hall

OFFICERS FOIL MOB.
Spirit Prisoner Away and Save Him
From Beinu Lynched.

Ironton, o., Nov 29.-Shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning mob at
tempted to take William Glassco, the
assailant of Mary Maloney, from the
county Jail, but was prevented by an
extra force of officers and the sher-
iff.
The mob was forming for an attack
when Glassco was spirited away in a
carriage toward the northwest. 1t is
believed he was taken in a roundabout
way to the Portsmouth Jail.
Glassco admitted asaulting Miss Ma
loney and said it was done in revenge
for her brother striking him. The
girl is in serious condition. Glassco
knocked her down by blow on the
head, but fed when her screams
brought help. He was traced by
bloodhounds.
The work of the bloodhounds is con-
sidered the best on record. They ar
rived from Dayton, o., yesterday noon
and at once followed the trail from
the place of assault in roundabout
courses to the saloon where William
Glassco had been arrested. They went
over the course the second time and
then back to the scene of the as
sault followed by thousand enraged
people, threatening vengeance. AT
ter these scenes in the afternoon ths
streets were filled with people all
night, and it was evident to the au-
thorities that q lynching was contem-
plated.
Finally the mob assembled at En-
gine House No. and selected so men
as leaders in the general movement on
the armory and jail. At the armory
they demanded the keys of Captain
Thompson, who was In charge of the
militia, so that they could secure
rifles. On being refused they OPEN
ed fire with revolvers, and Captain
Thompson narrowly escaped.
When the mob could do nothing at
the 'Armory, 1t moved on the Jail. The
sheriff refused the demand for the
keys. Then the mob moved off to
secure battering rams with which to
break into the Jail and the sheriff
at once spirited the prisoner out of the
rear of the Jail and escaped to Ports
mouth.
While the mob was about the jail
Glassco was wild with fright and con
fessed all to the jailer. The mob is
today trying to organize to go to
Portsmouth.

DECISION IN FAVOR
OF UNITED STATES
Russia Must Pay American
Sealers Damages.
ARBITRATION AT THE HAGUE
Professor Asser, Dutch Jurist, De-
cides Claims of Americans Against
Russian Government For Seizure of
Certain Vessels.

~ NN'ii ~SSS'Sa
The Hague, Nov. 29.-Professor AS
ser, the Dutch jurist, who has been
arbitrating the claims of American
sealers, for the seizure of their vessels
by the Russian government about lO
years ago, has delivered his award III
favor of the United States. He ap-
praises the damages in the case OF
the American schooner G. H. White at
$S2, ,444; in the case of the James
Hamilton Lewis at $28,588; the Kate
and Anna at 81, ,4S8 and the Cape Horn
Pigeon at $3S,750.
Professor Asser delivered his judg-
ment in the arbitration court in the
presence of the representatives OF the
United States and Russia and others,
including the foreign minister Of the
Netherlands, DR.. Van Lyndenar.
In giving his reasons for the award
Professor Asser held that the schoon-
er c. B. White was seized outside Rus
sian territorial waters and that the
Russian contention that a warship OF
one nation was entitled to pursue be-
yond the boundaries of its territorial
seas ship of another nation was gull
ty of illegal action within these
waters, was untenable. The arbitra-
tor declared that the Jurisdiction of
the state could not extend beyond It's
territorial waters, except by special
treaty. The seizure and confscation
of the G. H. White and the imprison-
ment Of her Grew was, therefore, illa-
gal. and Russia was condemned to pay
the C. H. White $32,444, with interest
at per cent.
The dispte was the subject of pro-
tracted negotiations, resulting in an
agreemnt in 1900 between Count
Lamsdorff, minister of foreign ~

fessor Asser, a member Of the council
of state of the Netherlands, an arbi-
traitor. Professor Asser decided June
80, 1902, that the average catch for
the basis of which demands should be
awarded, which was exactly the con-
tention advanced by Mr.. Pierce, who
was the advocate for the United States
government. The decision carried
with it the opinion of the court that
Russia must pay damages and only
left for further argument the sum due
in such case.

SEVEN SEVEN MEN MEN KILLED,
FIF TEEN ARE INJURED
Frightful Boiler Explosion
In Chicago.
SEVERAL PERSONS MISSING
Accident Occurred In the Electric
Plant of Swift G. Co.'s Packing Es-
tabishment at the Stock Yards.
Grewsome Sights After Explosion.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Seven men were
killed and 10 seriously injured at 10: 80
o'clock this morning by the explosion
of boiler in the electric plant 0f
Swift & Co.'s packing establishment at
the stock yards. 1t is positively as
serted that two others were buried
under the debris and it is feared there
are even more than that lying dead
under the wreckage. Two bodies
were recovered Immediately after the
accident and taken to the morgue.
The identified dead are:
George TAFT, fireman.
John Owens, water tender.
Edward Wright, negro, fireman.
Two other men, NJ w. Welsh and
M. t. Ash, are known to have been in
the building and diligent search up
to noon had failed to discover any one
who had seen them leave the building.
It is asserted that they were not
among the injured removed to the
hospital.
The scene Immediately after the
explosion was a grewsome one. The
injured men had been scalded and
many of them were unconscious when
carried to the ambulances. Several
of them, 1t is feared, win die. The
accident is one of the most serious
that has afflicted the stock yards in
years. Thousands of people crowded.

lice had difficult time of it in keep

BIG BOILER ExPLoDEs.

Engineer Rogers and Walton Taylor,
Negro, Torn to Pieces.
Macon, Ca, Nov. 29.-By the ex-
plosion of boiler used with station
ary engine at Lizella, small station
10 miles from the city, this afternoon
at o'clock, two men were instantly
killed and two wounded, one of them,
according to the latest information
from the scene of the disaster, being
now in a critical condition.
The dead are:
Paul Rogers.
Walton Taylor.
The injured are:
James Witham, whose back is sup.
posed to have been broken and whose
skull was probably fractured.
An unknown colored man.
The engine was used in a saw mill
belonging to the Rogers brothers, and
was in no way defective, so those in
position to know assert. It was
handled by Paul Rogers, one of the
owners of the mill, who had been dis.
charging the duties of an engineer
for long time and who was consider.
ed not only capable, but an adept.
The day had been rushing one in
order to fill the demands upon the mill
and overtime had to be done by the
crew. Shortly after o'clock the
engine was stopped and the crew gath.
cred about Engineer Rogers. The
men were drawing on their overalls
and discussing the days work, when
suddenly terrific explosion came. For
miles around the noise was heard,
while the earth trembled from the
great force of the explosion. Build.
ings near by rocked as though shaken
by an earthquake Windows were
broken into atoms and doors were
torn from their hinges.
The building in which the engine
and boiler were located was split
asunder and practically demolished.
Pieces of the immense machinery were
thrown hundreds of feet through the
air, falling upon the earth with force
sufficient to drive them deep into the
| ground. CONSERVATION throughout
the village was the result, and as soon
as the people recovered from their
fright willing hands rushed to the
mill to ascertain the trouble and to
render what assistance there was in
their power.
1t is the impression, howeer, so the
man who brought the news to the city
says, that the water in the boiler had
run low and that Rogers was attempt
ing to replenish it when the disaster
came. It is thought he was turning
cold water into hot boiler, with the
inevitable result.
It is the impression, so the
city by a resident Of the place, who
came in to notify Rogers brother,
who is guard to the county convicts.

Capt. Frank T. Liggett, commanding

the members of Co. &c" to assemble at
the armory Saturday evening, July 20,
at $50 o'clock, prepared to take an
early train Sunday morning for Ameri-
can Lake, near Tacoma, where the
National Guard OF Washington will go
into camp for ten days. 1t is expected
that about so will respond, which if
that number does will make a good
showing for the company.
The camp will be called Camp Weis-
enberger in honor of the deceased Col
Weisenberger, so well known by the
boys of Washington by his brilliant
re cord while soldering in the Philli-
pines. Major Abercrombie has been de-
tailed by the War Department to report
on camp site and camp details with in
structions to make it complete in every
respect. The Eighth Field Battery, u
S. A., stationed at Vancouver, have
orders to proceed to camp overland. II
will be under command of Capt. VIM.
l.. Henley, and will doubtless give the
National Guard some valuable lessons
in field work. Altogether the boys are
looking forward to splendid time, al
though this outing given them at the
expense of the state will have some
work attached to it which cannot be
shirked.
