LOSS OF LIFE WAS APPALLING.
Further Advices from Shnmnln Show
That 1000 Persons Perished
by Earthquake.

Baku, Transcaycasia, Feb. 1s.-De-
tails which are slowly arriving at
Baku from Shamaka, show that 1000
persons, mostly women and children,
perished as result of the earthquake
last week, and that 1000 houses were
destroyed.
Thirty-four villages of the country
surrounding Shamaka also suffered.
To add to the terrors of the neigh
borhood, volcano near the village of
Marasy, eastward of the Shamaka, has
broken out into active eruption. a
great crevasse has appeared, whence
immense flames and streams of lava
are being thrown out. The course of
the river Geonchaika has been altered
in consequence of it's bed being
damned with earth which had been
disturbed by the earthquake.
The Red Cross society is active in
alleviating distress.

Results of Elections Held In Pennsyl-
vnnia for Municipal Officers.

Philadelphia, Feb. 10.-Elections
were held throughout Pennsylvania
yesterday for municipal and borough
officers. In some sections of the
state the recent heavy snow storm
had made the roads almost impass-
able and n light vote was the result,
but in most sections a heavy vote
was polled, especially in the larger
cities. Local issues predominated in
the various contests.
In philadelphia the candidates sup
ported by the republican city and
state leaders swept everything, elect
ing all the candidates for the more
important offices and nearly all the
ward officers. This also included big
majority for the $5,O00,O00 improve
ment loan.
Pittsburg was carried by those up
posing the state and city administra-
tions, the independent republicans
having formed coalition with the
democrats under the name of tho
citizens party.
Scranton elected p. w. Costello,
democrat, for mayor.
Willkesbarre elected n republican
mayor, Charles III. Price.
Reading gave $50 majority for Ed
ward Yeager, democrat, for mayor.
AT Harrisburg, Vance c. McCor-
mick, the democratic candidate for
mayor, is elected by 1000 majority.
Mccormick is but 30 years of age and
was captain of Yaie's football team
In 1892.
At Lancaster, the anti-Quay repub-
Leans joined with the democrats
against Chester Cummings, the Quay
republican candidate for mayor, but
Cummings was elected by nearly 1900
majority.

MISS STONE is FREE
She Is No Longer Held as Cap
tive by the Brigands.
Rov. Tsillka Has Been Arrested
Charged with Completely in the
Abduction of the Two Women
"a Short Sketch OF the
Principal Actors.

Paris, Feb. 1o.-The Temps pub
fishes dispatch from Constantine
pie which announces that Miss Ellen
M. Stone has been released by the
brigands who have held her captive
since September 3 last, and has been
handed over, in good health, to the
dragoman of the American legation.
The dispatch adds that the reverend
Tsilka" has been arrested on the
charge of completely in the kidnap-
ing of Miss Stone.
London, Feb. 19.-Rev. Tsillia, who,
according to the Constantinople cor
respondent OF the Paris Temps, has
been arrested on the charge of COM
plicity in the kidnapping of the mis-
sionary, is the husband of Nine.
Tsillia, Miss Stones companion.
1t was announced recently that the
Turkish authorities suspected Rev.
Tsilka of completely in the abduction
of the missionaries.
The companion in captivity of Miss
Stone was Madame X. S. Tsilka, a
Bulgarian woman, wife of Mr.. Tsilka,
n Macedonian teacher of Samakov.
Miss Stone, while travelling with
Madame Tsilka and party of about
Is friends, was captured by brigands
in the district of Salonica. The
brigands demanded ransom of
a25,00O (Turkish) but only $72, 500 was
collected for the ransom and this sum
was paid over to the brigands Febru-
ary by NJ. Gargiulo, chief dragoman
of the american legation at Con-
stantinople, and w. w. Peet, treasur-
er of the American mission at Con-
stantinople.
Boston, Feb. 19.-Madame Tsilka
was educated at the Northfield. Mass,
seminary. At the time of receiving
her American training and educa-
tion she was Miss Stephanora, Bull
garian. Having been converted in
childhood to the Christian belief, she
came to America after having re.
fused to marry the man of her
parents choice. DR.. Dwight L. Moody
becoming interested in her welfare
found place for her in his noted
school. Having finished her training
at that institution, she became d
trained nurse. While engaged in hel
professional duties in the Adiron
dacks, she became acquainted with
Mr.. Tsillla, Macedonian, who haC
also been educated in the United
States. At that period he was pre-
pairing for work as n medical mis-
sionary. Soon after the completion
of their training the couple were
married and went to Bulgaria, where
they at once entered upon mission
ary work.
Miss Stone is one of the mission
aries of the American board of for
eign missions. She has been attached
to the Salonic amission since 1878
She was born at RoXbury, Mass, ant
her home is in Chelsea, Mass, wher,

RANSOM PAID FEBRUARY 6.
BriEands Decline to Set Captive Free
Twelve Days After Receiving
Money Demanded.

London, Feb. IS, 4 a. NIT tram
spires that the money for the ransom
for Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka was
paid to the brigands on February 6
and that the women's captors have
given no indication as to when they
will release the prisoners. The
Graphic's special correspondent tele-
graphs that the money was paid on
the date stated by DR.. Peet and NJ.
Gargiulo, dragomen of the American
embassy at Constantinople. They met
the brigands on the road to the Pad
rome monastery and handed over the
money in notes. The brigands carried
rifles. The release of the women now
depends on the humor of the brigands.
Mr.. Gargiulo, who is waiting at Series,
does not know where the captives are
concealed.

JONES TESTlFiES.
The Star witness in the Patrick TrIat
Renlns His Story.

New York, Feb. l0.-After several
days of examination of experts, new
interest in the trial of Albert II.
Patrick, accused of the murder OF
William Marsh Rice, was aroused late
Tuesday afternoon when Charles Il.
Jones, Mr.. Rices valet, who has
been charged with being the tool of
Lawyer Patrick in comprising the
death of the millionaire, was put up
on the stand by the state.
Jones said he was employed by Rice
in Houston, Tex, and came with him
to New York in 1897. He lid clerical
work ana wrote his checks. Patrick,
he said, called ut Rice's apartments
in October, 1900, to see Rice, and said
his name was Smith. Rice was in bed
and the defendant said he would call
again. This he did about week
later.
"It was about o'clock in the even
ing" said Jones. 81 saw him in the
parlor. Mr.. Rice was in the back
room. He spoke of Texas news.
Either at that visit, or one a week.
later, Patrick talked about the trial
of the claim against Mr.. Rice under
the will OF Mrs. Rice. He seemed
much interested and asked if the case
had been settled. He said the evil
dence was very strong in favor of
Mr.. Holt.
"On his second visit / think he
told me he was Mr.. Hollis lawyer. He
told me the terms of settlement
had been arranged and said if L
would write it out on the typewriter
he would get it signed. He gave me
sheet of paper with the writing in.
pencil that he wanted copied"
"Did Mr.. Rice see Patrick" asked
Mr.. Osborne, for the state.
"He opened the door while Patrick
was talking to me. don't think he
recognized him."
Led by Mr.. Osborne, Jones de-
scribed the letter Patrick wanted him
| to write. The letter was to state
that Mr.. Rice had lost confidence in
his Texas lawyer, but that he loved
Texas and wanted to return there
and wanted the litigation settled. In
reply to Mr.. Osborne's question Jones
said:
"Patrick was to give me $3.50 for it,
but he would not give me the money
unless i would go on the witness
stand and swear that Rice signed it.
j refused to give him the letter.
"Patrick told me Mr.. Holt had
given him $500 and had promised him
$4,000 when n settlement of the liti-
cation was affected"

Liberty to Cease to EnIishten.

New York, Feb. 15.-Liberty's torch
is to be put out. The lofty light in the
hand of the bronze goddess, standing
on Bedloc island, in upper New York
bay, that has been allowed TO grow
steadily DINNER since Bartholdi gave
the magnificent statue to the United
States, is to be permanently extin-
guished. Sentiment, it is said, which
has kept the beacon burning all these
years, can no longer keepit alight, and
now the governmentwill snuff 1t for a II
time. Lack of congressional appro-
pria tion is said to be the cause for dis
continuing the ligbs
