The SavOrnin Preliminary

The preliminary hearing of Ger
maine Savornin, charged with killing
Baptiste Savornin, drags very slowly,
and will doubtless occupy the entire
day, if it is finished this evening.
Rev. Father Burns was examined
this forenoon, his testimony bearing
on the statement made to him by
Baptiste Savornin a short time before
his death. The substance OF this
statement was that he was struck by
a knife in the hands of Germaine Sa-
vornin. while he (Baptiste) was un-
armed and unable to defend himself.
Other witnesses, including s. Cir
auc and Pierre Praier. were also ex-
amined today They are the men who
were employed by the defendant pre-
vious to and since the stabbing oe-
Cured, and told in detail of the
trouble that led to the stabbing. The
testimony is said to be more complete
and comprehensive than that elected
from the same witnesses at the pre-
liminary at Payidise.

CORNERSTONE
OF LIBRARY
Impressive Exercises Con-
Quoted by MasOns in Reno
Marks the Event

The corner stone of the Carnegie
free public library in Reno was lai1
Monda afternoon at 4:30, according to
the ancient and solemn rites of the
order of Freemasonry. The ceremonies
were performed by the grand lodge OF
the state of Nevada. F. & A. NJ.
1t was an impressive pageant that
proceeded down the streets of Reno
from Masonic Temple, says the Jour
nal The procession was headed by
the Wheelman band. The members of
Dewitt Commandery, Knights Temp
lar, acted as escort. They were un-
mounted, but in the full regailia of
their exalted order. Next followed
the grand lodge, wearing only the
sEeepskin apron, emblem of the craft.
There were two hundred Masons in
line, the grand officers bearing the
implements of conservation.
The deputy grand master spoke in
a few words, but eloquent ones, on
the order of F1eemasonry, its ancient
lineage and the solemn duties and OBJ
legations of the members, after which
he introduced the Very Worshipful
Grand Lecturer, Hon. Samuel Platt,
of Carson City.
Mr.. Platt spoke of the epidemic of
cornerstone layings in the state and
what it presaged. He paid a tribute
to the metropolis of Nevada and then
reverted to the good work that had
been done by Hon. F. H. Norcross AMI
others who had made the library pos
sible. The main portion of his mas
terful address was a summing up Of
the life and character of Andrew Car
negie, the millionaire philanthropist.

At the conclusion of his address,
Miss Hepburn Michaels, accompanied
by the other members of the quartette,

At the conclusion of the cornerstone
laying, the commandery and grand
lodge proceeded to Masonic Temple

10 PREVENT WRECKS
Device Gotten Up by Superin-
tendent Laws

Superintendent Laws of the Sacra-
mento division of the Southern Pa
cific has discovered that the cause of
the numerous wrecks was due to the
high and heavily laden box and lum-
bel cars and oil tanks failing to ac-
commodate themselves to the curves.
After thousands of dollars worth or
rolling stock has been DESTROYED and
ipnumerable and expensive delays to
traffic resulted, the superintendent
has decided that the conductors and
brakeman were right and has gone
one step farther by making an inven-
tion that remedies the fault.
His conclusion was that the side
motion of the heavily laden cars, more
or less top-heavy on the sharp curves,
caused the cars to tip over, raising
the wheel flanges above the rail and
allowing the trucks to leave the track.
A prevention of the unusual side mo-
tion of the cars was determined upon
as remedy for the evil and the work
of steadying the cars was undertaken.
At the company's shops in Sacra-
mento "side bumpers" were put on
the tracks and the bottoms of the
cars so as to allow but slight side
motion. 1t is now believed that the
remedy is effectual and the danger of
wrecks has been materially reduced.

WAS MURDER
OR SUICIDE
Mutilated Body of Young Wo-
man Found on Railroad
Track in Ohio

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 22.-The
badly mutilated body of Miss Olive
Rayle, twenty-five years of age, was
found today lying across the lake
Shore railroad track, at the entcance
of Gordon lark.
1t was at first supposed that Miss
Rayle had been killed by train, but
later the poll ,e stated that an inves-
tigation developed that the girl ha 1
been numbered and her body placed
across the track where a train had cut
lit In two.
Miss Rayle lived with her brother,
DIR w. L. Rayle, in Glenville, a sub
urb. She was handsome and highly
respected.
Thus far the case is enshrouded in
mystery. In the roadway, where the
body was found. the police discovered
the fresh track of a rubber-tired
buggy, and also the footprints of two
persons, one being that of woman
and the other the heavy imprints of a
mans shoe.
In the bushes, a short distance from
where the girls body lay, was found
a mans plain linen handkerchief. 1t
was sacturated with blood and bore
the initials -. D."
The throat of the dead girl was dis
colored as though she had been chock-
ed. Her body had been most terribly
mutilated and had been cut completely
in twain across the chest, while the
limbs were broken and crushed.
When the body was examined at
the morgue a cut in the head, which
1t is thought could not have been in
f1icted by the cars was found.
DIR. Rayle, brother of the young
woman, expressed the belief that she
had been murdered and the body plac-
ell on the track in order to hide the
crime.
Chief of Police Kohler, after per-
sonal investigation. stated late today
that he believed the girl had commit
ted suicide while suffering despon-
dency by throwing herself in front OF
a moving train.
He added that the bloodstained
handkerchief and the buggy tracks in
the vicinity of where the body was
found did not tend. in his judgment,
to show that murder had been COM
mitted.
Half a dozen detectives have been
detailed on the case.

SOFIA, Bulgaria. Sept. ga cour-
ier from the front has arrived with
specific details of a fight. The in
surgents won a striking victory Five
hundred Bashi Bazouks were killed in
a fierce fight in Roupe pass in the
Perrin mountains.
The insurgents gave the Turks
taste of their own medicine. They
awaited the Turks in ambush In the
precipitous pass and annihilated the
ertlre battalion of the enemy. The
Bashi BaZouks stampeded the moment
the insurgents began to rain hand
bombs upon them from the heights.
Turkish officials are beginning to
fear that the situation is more des-
are unable to hold the country raw
aged without leaving the garrisons be-
hind. Four battalions of artillery
have been summoned to the Djumaia
district, from which the troops have
been withdrawn. The Turkish inhab-
itants were panic-stricken and clam
oring for protection. The insurgents
are so active that the Turks are un-
able to furnish guards.
The Macedonian committee inform
me that they have 250,000 insurgents
in the field and could double the num-
Der if they had sufficient arms. The
insurgents have driven the enemy
from the entire district of Melnik. De-
spite the report that the powers, ex-
epting Great Britain. approve the
declaration Of Austria and Russia to
Bulgaria that in the event of war be-
ing declared against Turkey they will
support the sultan. the war fever here
till runs high.
1t seems here to be a question
whether pubic sentiment will break
out in a declaration of war against
the Turk or rebellion against Prince
Ferdinand. Bulgaria officers are pre-
pared for war at any moment and the
pcpulace is cage for it. 1t is reported
that Macedonians. Greeks and Serbs
are pledged to support Bulgaria in the
event she draws the sword against the
sultan.

BIG UNION
MAY SPLIT
Sam Parks Demands ReCOg-
milton of Expelled Branch,
at Convention

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 22-Samuei
]. Parks early today predicted split
in the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
IL the annual convention at today's
session should refuse to recognize
Union No. 2. of New York City, of
which he is member.
The union has been expelled by Pres
ident Buchanan and up to last night
the credentials committee appointed
yesterday had wrestled with the ques-
ton of sustaining this action.
The committee was ready to act to
day, and when President Buchanan
called the delegates to order shortly
after 10 o'clock, the feeling was in
tense. The meeting of the credentials
committee had been held in secret
and no intimation of it's conclusions
had been given out.
II do not care what they do" said
Mr.. Parks. to reporter.
81 am going to win out in the end.
Ii the convention sustains the COM
mittee we will walk out and go back
to New York and continue our little
local union of 5000 members just like
we did before there was an interna-
tional union"
Before the convention opened Pres
ident Buchanan intimated that his
candidacy for reelection would de-
pend upon the conventions action In
the Parks case.
If the delegates from the union sus-
pended by the president are seated, he
pI obably. it is stated. will not run.
"A hitch had arisen in the commit
tee on credentials over night and
when the time for the convention to
convene had arrived the committee
was not ready to report
Nothing was made known of the
committees progress and at 80 no
attempt had been made to call the
convention to order
At that hour no further statements
were vouchsafed. either by President
Buchanan or Mr. Parks.
Later it was stated that the com
mittee would not likely finish its work
today and that the convention would
not convene until tomorrow morning
Most of the delegates took tally-ho
ride during the afternoon.
According to one of the delegates,
the committees difficulty In reaching
a report was not over the seating of
the Parks delegation, but over the
question of representation in the con-
vention.

KIsHINEF HORRORS REPEATED

KOENIGSBERG, Prussia, Sept. %.
Another horrible series of atrocities
are reported from Gomel, in the Rus
sian province of Mohilev, which, eye
witnesses declare. were worse than
the Kishinef massacres. which arous-
ed the horror and Indignation of the
world.
The prosecuted Jews by hundreds
are fleeing toward this city. Many
are already here and report an exodus
OF their countrymen from Gomel and
the surrounding country to escape
leath or worse at the hands of the
Russian peasants, who, it is declared,
have not been strongly repressed by
the Cars troops.
Not a Jew in this city but believes
all the horrors and cruelties of Kis-
hlnef have been repeated in Gomel.
All direct communication with the
Inflated town is cut off. 1t is said
the Russian government ordered the
telegraph wires chopped down. on
eial reports from st. Petersburg al
init that several persons were killed.
According to the refugees the Jews
of Gomel were holding an annual fair,
similar TO the great Nijni-Novgorod
celebration. Thousands from other
parts of the province in Mohilev came
in for the jubilee. Rioting began Sep
tember 11th and was continued on the
14th. Jewish homes were pillaged.

and the men who tried to shield their
loved ones were brutally slain.

city published an account furnished

Another Railroad RumOr

An Associated Press dispatch from
Salt Lake. dated yesterday, says a
large party of civil engineers employ
ell by ID. II. Moffats Denver. North
western and Pacific road is in Salt
Lake starting the work of surveying
the new line from that point.
While official confirmation is lack
ing, 1t is understood that Moffatt's
road may occupy the same terminals
as the Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific. for which the Rio Grande is
now seeking franchise from the city
council.
Preliminary work, 1t is stated, has
indicated that the route by Provo,
Utah. is easier from an engineering
standpoint than that via Park City.

ODD FELLOWS
Report to Sovereign Grand
Lodge Makes a Good

The annual convention of the SOW
ereign grand lodge of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows is now in ses-
sion in Baltimore, with many hundred
delegates present. The annual report
of Grand Sire and Commander-in-
Chief John B. Goodwin. which was
read, shows the order to be in a
fiourishing condition.
The condition of the order at the
close of 1902 is shown by returns as
follows: Subordinate lodge member
ship, 1869 ,906; encampment member
ship, 145 5,19O; Rebekah lodge member
ship (brothers, 1915; sisters, 25S,-
$500; patriarchs militant membership,
17,754. The total membership of the
order, which includes the subordinate
lodge membership and the sisters only
of the Rebekah lodge membership. Is
1925, $50. The encampment member
ship and the brothers of the Rebekah
lodges are not included in the above
total, as they are subordinate lodge
members.

The banlance in banks to the credit
of the sovereign grand lodge on July
81. 1903. was s95.237.
At the meeting of the patriarchs
militant a resolution was adopted to
permit the militant branch of the
order to recruit it's forces from subor-
dinate lodges. The resolution will be
presented to the sovereign grand lodge
as the acceptance of the latter is re-
quired before it becomes a law.
Another important matter acted up
Oh by the delegates was a resolution
requesting the sovereign grand lodge
to cause a revision of the standard
patriarchs militant volume. The vol
ume was formulated and printed In
1888 and has been the ritual of this
branch of the order since its founda-
tion. 1t is thought that the sovereign
grand lodge will grant both requests
of the army of the order"
