Religious Fanatics Descend on q
Town In q Pitfab7e Condition.
WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 29.-Two
thousand Doukbobors have marched
on YorktowR, NJ w. T., and the town
has capitu1ated without firing a shot.
The Doukhebars had camped out dur
ing the night without shelter, and the
thermometer ssood at Ia degrees be-
low the freezing point. The Eob con-
sisted Of men, women and children, in
Guiding infants in arms. One was born
in the night, the mother marching in
the procession. Seme of the sick were
borne on ntters, some few were bare
foot, many wore rubber boots and 9TH
ers coarse sandals made Of binding
twine
Simeon Tohsrndnkov, who talks a lit
tie English and whose bare feet bore
witness to his insane zeal, explained
that they were .looking for Jesus"
Immigration Agent Speers succeeded
in getting the sick, the women and
children housed in the immigration
sheds and other buildings much
against their Wills Mothers deserted
their babes and allowed them to be
taken into the shelter, refusing to fol
low them until forced aleng. They
say that If God tells them to go back
to their farms they will do so, but if
not then they will continue as they
are. Infants that died on the march
We're thrown into bushes by the road
side. A sympathetic citizen offered
glass of milk to a pallid baby, and its
mother split the Railk to prevent the
child drinking it. Biscuits were offered
to the children, but they were forbid
den to eat them.
The DOukhobors' camping ground
was about three miles from town
where there was no shelter except the
bush. Parties strayed through the
scrub, picking the sGod given and
greaseless" fruit of the rosebush to
satisfy their hunger. No labor Of ami
mails had helped to produce this fruit
and they could eat it without sin. Their
prophet had prophesied that on their
arrival at Yorktown their babies would
be taken from them, and they gave
them up willingly, for they take the
voice Of their prophet as the voice Of
God

ny and the Moncngahala River Consol
idated Coal and Coke company with
their combined authorized capitaA1a
tien of $110, eos, eco and assets Of $120,
0SS 581. Constellation Of these interests
will launch by far the strongest btu

binea coal output eff the two concerns
is close to 30,o00, 900 tons year. Tbs
plan is to make the Pittsbarg company

Successful termination Of the deal
will end the trade rivalry which has
