TEN VICTIMS OLE CAYE-IN.

Ten lives we're lost by the caye-in of
the roof and walls of the subway tunnel
at One Hundred and Ninety-ffth street
in New York Saturday night and four
persons were badly injured. All of the
dead and Injured were workmen and
most of them Italians. The tunnel was
being bored by opening perpendicular
embrasure in tbs face Of the bore and
blasting the sides to the right and left OF
this embrasure. Three blasts were ar
ranged by the drillers, the holes being
charged we'll toward the roof. The drill
Iers then withdrew, and the three blasts
were set offin rapid succession by electric
ity, loosening large quantities of earth
and rock. The drillers say that about
10 minutes elapsed to allow the smoke to
clear away before Timothy Sullivan, the
foreman, and Electrician Schuette adyanc-
ed, the latter intending to string wires
and hang electric lamps to sght the way.
They were followed by 16 workmen. The
vanguard of the gang had reached
the broken stone when a rumbling
sound was heard. 1t grew in volume
with lightning-like rapidity. Those
in the rear had just time to turn
about and run when, with a deafening
crash, hundreds of tons Of rock fell on
the men at the face of the boring. The
drillers and two or three Italians who
we're out of reach of the deluge of rock
were knocked flat on their faces by the
rush of wind driven through the tunnel.
When the roar had ceased the cries and
means of the injured workmen echoed
through the tunnel. 1t is believed that
the accident was caused by negligence.
The seams which appeared Saturday are
believed to have been about the great
rock which fell directly in the middle of
the excavation. As soon as this bowlder,
acting as a keystone, was released, the
stones on both sides, which had been
crushed loose, followed it. The fall of
stone continued some minutes until all
the dislodged pieces had fallen into the
tunnel. From men who worked in the
tunnel it was learned that props had
been used to hold up the roof. The
heavy timbers, II by IL inches, were
crumbled like toothpicks beneath the
tremendous weight of the cavern.

FROM ALL that can be gathered a
week before the fall elections the demo-
cratic chances of success are brighter
this year than they have been for some
time past. Maryland seems to be
safe for Warfield for Governor,
and sure for democratic legislature
which will elect aSenator to succeed Mr..
McComas, republican; in Ohio the
democrats are making every effort 10
secure the legislature and have an ex-
cellent chance ofduringso in which event
Mr. Hanna would be succeeded by Mr.
CLARK: in New York there is every IN
dication that Mr.. Mcclellan, the demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor, will be
elected. while in Massachusetts, and
Iowa the democrats are expected to
make great gains. The times seem
ripe for political change and the cleo
tions on tomorrow week will have con-
siderable bearing on those of next year
when President is to be chosen.

Do Good--If PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men ap-
preciate a kind word and encourage
ment more than substantial help.
There are persons in this community
who might truthfully say: "My good
friend, cheer up. A few doses OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid
you of your cold, and there is no danger
whatever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. II always cures. |

wrecking machinery is a mystery. All
traffic is blocked until the trestle can DC

Armenians Butchered and Church
Stormed.

Vienna Oct. 26.-The Arbeiter
Zeitung reports the seizure of Armenian
church property at Baku, and the killing
of large number OF Armenians. A
party of Cossacks attacked the church,
but were resisted by a number of men,
women and children who gathered
around the building to prevent its
destruction. The soldiers fired ten
volleys into the crowd killing 100 of the
Armenians. The Armenians then took
refuge in the church, from which want
age point they fired at the soldiers.
The latter, however, stormed the build
ing, and butchered all inside, the exact
number not being known. The old
sexton was bayonetted as he was ring
ing the alarm bells. After the fight the
soldiers bivouacked in the church yard.

New YORK Stock Market.

New York, Oct. 26. II a. m. The
stock market this morning opened strong
in utter indifference to the character OF
the quotations which came from London.
Business was on fairly active scale.
Considerable effect was produced on
sentiment by the aggressive strength
of Amalgamated Copper, which steadily
advanced from the opening Ii per cent.
This movement was interpreted as in-
dicating that the company would de-
rive some benefit from the Montana
situation by the higher prices which
have already been established for re-
fined copper. Anaconda opend up 2
per cent in sympathy with Amalgamated.
In the railway list, the advance of a
point in St. Paul also encouraged sentl-
ment. An active bull movement took
place in Union Pacific and Atchison Y

point each. Missouri Pacific and

Another periodical revolution is in
progress in Hayti. The insurgent move
ment is spreading through all the north
ern parts If the country. A provisional
government has been established al
Puerto Plata, on the north coast under
the presidency of General Morales, the
Governor of the port. Hayti is restless
island. Governments last but few years,
and, like the changing of the seasons
in that cline, the transitions produce more
or less disturbance, death and destruction.
The island is sandwitched between
Cuba, nominally a free country, and
Porto Rico, now belonging to the United
Sites. The latter countryis necessarily
interested in the internal affairs of the
Dominicans, aud sooner or later it will
be drawn into the turmoils incident to
chronic revolutions.

MR.. GORMAN's SPEECH.

At Highland, Nd, on Saturday
Senator German made a speech in
which he accepted what has been con-
strued by the democracy of Maryland a;
challenge from the President to vindi.
cate his race policy in the South and
urged the republicans to redeem that State
from democratic rule. During his
speech the Senator said: president
Roosevelt makes Maryland the battle
ground to fight out the race issue. Let
us accept the challenge, and let Mary
land save the liberties of the people
again"
Mr.. German took this opportunity to
openly criticise President Roosevelt fol-
his interference in Maryland politics
and define the issue between the Mary
land democracy and the President.
Senator German in dealing with the
President said he regretted that the
latter had gone out of his way las the
Chief Executive of all the people to fight
in Maryland for vindication OF his
unpopular and misguided policy on the
negro race issue" The Senator also
delivered scathing arraignment of the
Presidents impetuous and impulsive
methods in administering the greatest
Office within the gift of the people. p"
He asserted that the President had not
only intensified the race issue, but by
"his impradence in interfering with
matters which did not properly belong to
his Office, had unsettled business inter-
terests." Continuing be said the en-
franchisement of the negro was crime,
and the dinner with Booker Washington
gave the race false idea.

IN CHICAGO on Saturday the Lake
Street Elevated Railroad Company,
capitalized at $40, 900, was placed
in the hands Of a receiver in pursuance
to a resolution passed by the board OF
directors asking for the appointment.
In the bill, which was filed by some OF
the stockholders in the company, 1t Is
alleged that the company is hopelessly
insolvent and that this condition has
resulted from the reckless extravaganza
and fraudulent conduct Of those manage
ing the road whose purpose Is to wreck
and destroy the property with the view
of acquiring the same at sacrifice, and
thereby eliminating and cutting Oft the
rights of other stockholders, Such
tricks are becoming common now and

holders have about as much chance a.

Charged With Attempt to swindle,

Berlin, Oct. 26 The trial of Count
and Countess Kwileski, charged with
the substitution of child as their heir,
began today. The case has caused a
sensation in aristocratic German circles
at various times since 1896. At that
time the Countess claimed that she had
given birth to son. AS she was then
so years of age, and had no children
for seventeen years, suspicion was
aroused, and a member of a collateral
branch of the family, who would in
herit the estates in the event that no
male heir being born, instituted an in
vestigation. The countess at that time
was acquitted, but the public prosecutor
obtained fresh evidence, and the count
and countess were again arrested. The
estate in question brings in an annual
rental of about SIS, 900.

Ct the imm,rtal Declaration
somebody proposed that the
American flag be run up on top
of the Eif-el tower. This was con
sidered a rather rash proposition
at first, but the enthusiastic Van
kee who mad it wouldn't be
discouraged. He made the neces-
sary arrangements with the Elf
fel tower management, and tie
stars and stripes hoated from The
top of the tower all day. 1t re
minded me-" said Ambassador
Porter, ''of the small boy when

Magician Herman and His Baton.

The first time Professor Alex
ander Hermann, Hermann, the
Great" who died a few years ago,
went on the stage he carried
cheap little imitation rosewood
baton, with a silver plated band
around one ot its ends. He made
a success Of it from the first, and
he got the idea firmly fixed in his
curious old head that the baton
was somehow responsible for it.
Thereafter and for more than
thirty FIVE years he would carry
nothing else than the tawdry lit
tie toy onto the stage with him.
King Edward, Of England, then
the Prince of Wales, once gave
him a handsomely carved and
gold mounted baton, and, for a
special performance, he consent
ed to carry the gift. 1t happened,
Tor wonder, that Herman fell
down that afternoon in one Of his
most complicated tricks, and he
blamed it all on the new wand.
From that time on he could never
be persuaded to start a perform
ance without his old baton.
