bic RALLY
Will be Held at the Court House
Monday Night to Discuss
Knitting Mill.

On account of the inclement
weather the meeting which was
to have been held at the court
house to discuss the proposition
made by Mr.. Geo. w. Kava-
naugh, of Cohoes, n. Y, re-
garding the establishment of a
big knitting mill in this city was
postponed until Monday night,
and the officers of the Citizens
Progressive League, who have
the matter in charge, earnestly
request that all citizens who
have the welfare of Columbus at
heart will be on hand at that
time.
This is a matter Of the utmost
Importance, and the people Of
Columbus can not afford to sit
idly by and allow some other
town to capture the prize.
Let every business man in
Columbus be at the court house
at eight o'clock Monday night,
and show by his presence if by
nothing that he is in favor of
Greater Columbus. -

RAIN iNTERFERES
WITH BALL GAMES.

There seems to be little doubt
of the fact that as far as base
ball is concerned Columbus is
a Jonah. The Tuscaloosa team
arrived Thursday afternoon in
ample time to play the game
which was advertised to COM
mence at 4:30 o'clock, but at
AZ there came a cloud burst
which seemed to have selected
for its center the base ball park
at the foot of Market street. The
game was Of course declared off,
and Manager Ottley promised
the crowd double header Fri
day afternoon.
The first game scheduled for
Friday began at 2:30 o'clock
and was played through without
mishap, resulting in a score of S
to 3 in favor of the locals, but
the second exhibition was where
the rain got in its work. The
game started in alright and up to
the sixth inning was a beauty.
Higgins was in the box for the
locals, and he, as we'll as the
other new men, did splendid
work. "Lammy" Banks at first
played with his old time yigor
and enthusiasm, while 'FSid"
Bluhm on third was sin the
game" from start to finish and
showed himself to be thoroughly
at home in fast company. Up
to the, sixth inning neither side
had scored, but in the sixth
Tuscaloosa made two runs, and
just about this time the weather
man began to get busy. 1t be-
gan to rain cats and dogs, and |
Columbus, realizing the fact that
if the inning was not played out
that a tie would result, was will
ling to quit. After some delay
the inning was played out and
the locals failed to score. Then |
Tuscaloosa wanted to quit, but
Columbus said nay, nay, and for
ten or fifteen minutes the two I
mines played in a driving rain
The downpour continued, how
ever, and Messrs. Emmett Ma

serving as umpires. finally call

visitors by a score of 2 to @.
The third game of the series
was played yesterday afternoon,

score of I to 2.

Aim ost SenseIess.

Waterbury, Feb. 22-The feature of
the trolley situation in this city tonight
is the fact that the ''trimmers," who
attend to the electric arc lamps which
furnish the city with light, are out on
strike to the number of six. These men
struck practically out of sympathy
with tie motormen and conductors of
the Connecticut Railway and Lighting
company. The trimmers waited upon
Manager ]. E. Sewell Saturday night
with demand for increased wages,
which included six articles
Of these Mr.. Sewell granted four.
They organized but the night previous
and agreed to submit the proposition to
the Central Labor union, and Manager
Sewell asked them to take no action
until tomorrow They called him up,
however, by telephone this morning
and announced that they would leave
work
A superintendent and helper tended
| the lamps to-day and most of them are
burning. The striking linemen are still
out. The company says that they re-
fused to do any trolley work when the
strike was declared, and that they have
been kept at work since, although they
did not do what their duties called for.
When foreman, who was not in the
union, was brought here from Bridge
port they quit work. The company
says that it has men enough to do the
work.
| A car which passed strikers bus
going to Naugatuck tonight was
stoned by the occupants of the bus the
motorman being hit in the head with a
rock and knocked almost senseless.

Interesting Address Yesterday by II. z
House of New York City.

House of New York City.
1.-THE New Day in China" was the
subject Of most interesting address
delivered yesterday afternoon in Foy
auditorium in the Y. M. G. "A. building
at the regular Sunday afternoon mass
meeting by Herbert e. House of New
York. Mr.. House has spent year and
a half as private tutor in the FAM
lily of Yuan Shin Kai, the present vice
roy to Chilli in the place of the late
Lii Hung Chang. This dwelling in the
midst Of one OF the leading families of
the empire gave him an Invaluable op-
portunity to study the better class of
the peoples OF the nation and to under
stand the men who rule that mighty
yet weak nation.
In his address Mr.. House spoke of
the respect given to parents by sons
and by all citizens to the government,
and this, said he, is what has kept
China nation throughout the ages and
will keep her a nation in the future.
"I don't believe" continued Mr..
House, "that China will ever reach out
and conquer the world. I don't believe
in the Yellow terror But I do believe
that the day is coming when China shall
begin to learn to develop her own
mines and run her own business enter
prises and in word. be the master of
her own resources"
In speaking of the Chinese army with
one branch of which he had lived when
with the family of Yuan Shin Kai, who
was in command of that branch, Mr..
House declared that while he lived
with that army he had never once seen
drunken Chinese soldier. That the
Chinese have a. real executive ability
and their army is coming to be a. power
in the nations life. The soldiers, said
he, are whipped severely for gambling
and other offenses of the kind and for
more serious offenses are beheaded.
Mr.. House discussed the relations Of
Japan and China. He declared that
they were as indispensable to each
other as are lips to the teeth. "Japan's
hope" said he, 'is in the power of
China and China's hope is in the lead
ership c& japan"

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Verdict in Case of "A. Y. Bishop who
KILLED II. I. wilson.

Killed T. I. wilson.
Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 22.-At three
o'clock this afternoon the jury in the
case of Arthur L. Bishop, the shoe
drummer for the F. NJ. Hoyt company,
of Manchester, N. H, charged with the
murder of Thomas l. Wilson, came into
court and rendered a verdict of man
slaughter. Bishop was in court and his
wife was by his side. The court room
was filled with people, including about
fifty commercial travellers.
The penalty for manslaughter is four
months in Jail as the minimum and
twenty years in the penitentiary as the
maximum. An appeal for a new trial
is not considered probable. unless the
counsel for the prisoner consider the
sentence of the court excessive.
Bishop killed Thomas I. Wilson in
this city on December 9 last. He had
gone to Wilson's home, accompanied by
Miss Lena Schultz and Miss Ida Will
son, daughter of the deceased. Wilson
discovered the three in his parlor
drinking wine and ordered Miss Schultz
and Bishop to leave. Bishop wanted to
parley and Wilson endeavored to eject
him, when he was shot and killed by
Bishop. The latter fled and made his
way to his home in Petersburg, Va,
where he surrendered

GENERAL SAN MIGUEL MAKES
ANOTHER DARING RAID.

Appears q Few Miles from Manila
Surrounds Towns and Captures Sew
erai Bodies of scouts and Constabu-
larry -Retnforcements Hurried oat
from ManiIa-E Efforts 10 Corner the
Iadrone chief.
Manila, Feb. pa force of insurgent
ladrones under General San Miguel re-
appeared in Rizal province yesterday.
They avoided an engagement with the
main force in the south, but captured
three small detaehments of constabu-'
larry. The enemy surrounded the towns
of Cainta and Taytay, eleven miles east
of Manila, on Saturday. and captured
thirty scouts and ten men of the con-
stabulary, whom they disarmed and set
free. To-day Inspector McIlvaine, at
the head of ten constabulary, was SUR
prised and captured near Montalban,
sixteen miles northeast of Manila. The
ladrones promised to release them IL
the constabulary would surrender their
arms. While they were comforting on
this point McIlvaine made a dash for
liberty and he and all the constabulary
effected their escape.
When the news of the temperance
of General San Mlguel's forces reached
Manila reinforcements Of scouts and
constabulary were hurried into the Ri
zal province. General Allen and Colo
mel Scott went to Antipolo and assumed
command of the forces there. They
met with small detachments of the enc
my and few skirmishes took place.
They were, however, unable to locate
the main body of 1adrones General
Allen and Colonel Scott are continuing
the pursuit and hope to overtake the
released prisoners.
1t is said that General San Miguers
force consists of 300 men, armed and
uniformed The zone of ladrone activ-
lly SAISluS from EOuT miles
north of Manila, eastward to the noun
tains of Rial and skirting the northern
limits of Manila. The Manila police
co-operated in Saturdays efforts to
corner the enemy. Secretary Winthrop,
in the absence Of Governor Taft re-
quested General Davis to furnish ad-
ditional scouts, and General Davis has
ordered another battalion Of scouts to
report to General Allen. 1t is expected
that additional troops will be ordered
out.
General San Miguel's force is small
and the government is determined to
speedily suppress 1t. San Miguel claims
the insurgent leadership and fights un-
der the Katipunan flag.
According to news from Albay, Lu-
zon, force of ladrones attacked on
Friday small detachment of constab-
ulary. The constabulary retreated, but
killed eleven of the enemy. Two Of the
constabulary were killed.

A NEW DISCOVERY.
Calcium Salts VIII cnre Muscular and
Nervous Diseases.

Nervons Diseases.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Dr. Jacques Loeb
has discovered that muscular and ner-s
vous diseases, such as st. Vitus dance,
paralysis, locomotor ataxia and sleep
lessness, can:be cured by administering
calcium salts-that is, such salts as are
found in well water and many foods.
Announcement of this discovery in
scientific research by the former head
of the department of physiology at the
University OF Chicago has Just been
made. In one Of the decennial publica-
tions just issued by the University Of
Chicago press DR.. Loeb tells Of his ex-
periments on lower forms of life and
conclusions suggested In regard to hu-
man beings. Simply stated, the conclu-
sion is that the presence Of calcium
salts in the muscles is what prevents
their twitching; that practically all
nervous diseases are caused by the abb
sence of the calcium, and that, there
fore, to restore normal conditions and
effect cure the cure is to dose with
calcium salts. ts~ r., s-.t .@s, a.@..

Icy Water Beneath-FIcated 800 Feet
Down stream-Rescued by Omcer
james stevens In RowBOat Half
full Of Water and Without Oars
Fights Her Rescuer.
+, A deliberate and shocking attempt at
suicide occurred just before 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. A young woman
twenty-eight years old named Gene
We've Sarsfield left her home at 146 Fill
more street, Fair Haven. and clothed
as though going to church, walked
down Fillmore street to Grand avenue,
and thence to the drawbridge spanning
the Quinnipiac river. She advanced to
the outer railing she gazed down at
the water and the large cakes of ice
floating by. Then stepping back sew
eral feet she clasped her hands before
her and looked upward as though in
prayer. At the expiration of a moment
she rushed forward and with her hands
still clasped she sprang into the air,
her body barely clearing the rail.
A. second after with a loud cry of
anguish she sank from sight beneath
the Icy water of the river.
A young boy who had been an eye
witness to the tragedy rushed to the
corner of South Front street and Grand
avenue, where Patrolman James Ste
vens was standing. r...
The terrified lad tried to relate to the
officer what he had witnessed, but it
was some moments before he could
speak.
On learning the cause of his agitation
the officer rushed to the bridge. where
the body could be seen floating down
the stream surrounded by cakes of ice,
it having been carried from under the
bridge by the ebbing tide and strong
current. Hurrying to the river bank
the only thing he could find was an
old rowboat half full of ice and water,
without any oars, and tied with piece
of rope Tearing a board from near
by shed and cutting the rope which
held the boat, he climbed aboard and

DEMANDS ON THE PORTE.
Austria and Russia Submit Their Notes
for Reforms.

ConstantinopIe. Feb. 22.-The Aus
trian and Russian ambassadors pre-
sented on Saturday to the grand vizier
identical memoranda embodying the
demands for reforms in Macedonia.
They afterwards acquainted the foreign
minister of the step taken. This course
was adopted to give the proceedings
semi-official character.
The chief proposal made III the men,
orandum is the appointment of an in
spector general for three years with
ample powers to act Independently and
to reouisition troops in case of emer-
gency. The plan of reforms also pro-
vided for the reorganization of the gen.
darmerie and police under European in
structors, for administrative and finan-
eial reforms and for a more equitable
collection Of taxes. These reforms do
not effect the sultan's prerogatives or
wound the religious susceptibilities of
the Mussulmans.
