Negro Who Used Razor on Self and
PnramOur Given IL Months.
BY the recommendation of a jury in
the Superior Court yesterday Percy
Moulden, a well-known negro, who on
Oct. cut the throat of his paramour,
George Noble, and then attempted to
take his own life, escaped a term in
the penitentiary for assault with in
tent to murder.
Moulden was found guilty by the
jury, but it was recommended that he
be punished for a misdemeanor, and
sentence of twelve months on the
chaingang was imposed by Judge
Barrow.
MOulden declared that he was really
unconscious of what he was doing. He
had been in bad health and accounted
for his act by saying that he was in
sane at the time that he used the
razor. The prisoner was for a number
of years employed by the Western
Union Telegraph Company as a mes
senger and is very well known. The
jury was out several hours before an
agreement was reached.

SERIOUS FIRE AvERTED.
Valuable Property in Red Lodge L
Threatened With Destruction.

Red Lodge, April 1.-Red Lodge
narrowly escaped one of the most de-
structive fires in it's history this
morning. At about o'clock fire was
discovered in the restaurant owned
by Mrs. Tilly Koski. 4 An alarm fail
ed to arouse many of the f1remen and
the department was shorthanded.
Meyer & Chapman's bank is the build
ing next south and this was saved
with difficulty. All structures in the
block are of wood and if any wind had
prevailed their destruction doubtless
would have been complete.
Mrs. Koski and two girls employed
by her were sleeping in the rear
of the restaurant. They escaped in
their night clothing.
The building was completely gut
ted, and is an entire loss, amounting
to about $1,000. The building and
contents were insured for 500.

REVOLT PROVES SERIOUS
CHRISTIANS ARE FLEEING TO.
WARD sERv'A.
Inhabitants of Northern Albania Re.
is
bel Against Heform SLncmc
Of Powers.

Constantinople, April "Details OF
the disturbances in north Albania
show that the revole which has brok-
er out there against the reform
scheme of the powers is a very seri-
GUS one. Several thousand Albanians
surrounded the town of Vucsteen
March 20 and demanded the surren-
der of II Servian gendarmes who had
been enlisted in accordance with the
reform plans. The governor surren-
dered the Servians, who were bound
and taken to Pristina, after having
been maltreated
A number of the Servian inhab-
itants and bands of Albanians later
surrounded Mitrovitza and serious
fighting ensued with the Turkish gar
rison, consisting of 5000 troops. The
fighting continued until March 80,
when the A,banians finally were re-
pulsed with great loss. Heavy re-
inforcements have been ordered from
the village of Aeiin, Asia Minor, and
other places to the scene of the out
break in order to suppress the re-
bellion.
The Albanian rising has caused a
panic among the Christians, who are
fleeing toward Servia.
A panic has occurred at Prilep in
consequence of the growing fanatic
ism of Albanians against the Chris
tians. The latter have closed their
shops and schools and are preparing
to seek refuge at Momastir. Num-
bers of Christians, have been MUIR
dered in the Prilep district during the
last few days.
Considerable apprehension is felt
at the Russian embassy for the safe
ty of the Russian consul at Nitro
vita.
The outbreak has made great inn
preston at the palace. The sultan
was intensely exercised and meas
ures were taken to watch two Al
banian battalions belonging to the
imperial guard on duty at the Yildiz
Kiosk in order to prevent disorder at
the palace.

HELD POSITION TOO LONG
AMERICAN CONSUL AT VENICE
TO BE TRANSFERRED.
Failed to Protect American Officers
Who Were UnjustIy I'm.
prisoned.

Washington, April 1.-Henry A.
Johnson, United States consul at
Venice, is to be transferred to the
vacant consulship at Valencia because
with his failure to properly care for
the interests of Captain Wynne, Lieu
tenant Doddridge and Assistant Sur
geon Leadbeater, of the marine corps,
when arrested and imprisoned in the
Italian city last spring, charged with
creating a disturbance in a restau-
rant during the visit of the United
States cruiser Chicago at that port.
The officers of the marine corps
were arrested and subjected to out
rageous treatment because of their
resentment against an attempt to
fleece them while they were in the
restaurant in question. The consular
officer at Venice did not properly pro-
tect the interests Of the marine Of
ficers and they were not released
from prison until President Roosevelt
called the Italian government sharp
~ to account for the indignities to
which these American officers were
subjected. Consul Johnson is here
and presented his defense to the state
department.
In the judgment of the officials of
the department the failure of Consul
johnson to act promptly and properly
was due to the fact that he had been
stationed too long at Venice. They
believe his efficiency will be greatly
enhanced by the transfer, which can
not be made until it is approved by
the president, who took great deal
of interest in the case of these Of
ficers.
