Senator Martin.

The September number of the Ameri-
can Monthly Review OF Reviews makes
the following complimentary references
to the national democratic executive
committee, taking separate paragraph
in which to refer to Senator Thomas 5
Martin, of Virginia, who is member
"The makeup of the national execu-
tive committee is strikingly significant
of the transformation that has come about
in the democratic party since the last two
national campaigns. Mr.. De Lancey
Nicoll, a well known corporation lawyer
of New York, is vice-chairman OF the
national committee, as we'll as a member
of the executive group. The other mem
bers are Mr.. August Belmont, the New
York banker and railroad man Colonel
J. NJ. Gufey, the leader oftEe Pennsyl-
vania democrats, known as petroleum
magnate Mr.. John R. Mclean, the Ohio
multi-milionaire; ex-senator Smith, of
New Jersey, also man of vast corpora
ton interests; Senator Martin, of Vir-
ginia, said 10 be Identified very extern
sively with large corporations, and Mr..
Timothy E. Ryan, OF Wisconsin. Sena-
tor German, of Maryland, is regarded as
virtually a member of the committee.
Mr.. George Foster Peabody is treasurer
of the national committee, and, together
with the chairman and vice-cbairman,
is ex-officio a member of the executive
committee. Nearly, or quite all OF these
men were gold democrats ill 1896, and
several of them were in aggressive oppo-
sition to Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Peabody, in
particular, was utiring and of eminent
service in securing the victory for sound
money!"

Suspected of Murder.

The Hagerstown, Nd, authorities
have been at work on the Talhelm MUIR
der mystery since the discovery of the
old mans lifeless body Monday after
noon. The officers claim that if the
murder was not committed by Charles
Barton, who is now in Jail on suspicion,
the prisoner was closely connected with
the crime. They base their belief on
the result of thorough inspection of
Barton's clothing yesterday evening and
on some clues that we're found during
the day. Red stains, which the officers
insist are blood stains, but which Barton
claims are nothing more than splOtches
of red paint, were found on his shirt
and the inside of his coat. The cloth
ing will likely be subjected to chemi-
cal test for the purpose of determining
whether the spots we're made by human
blood. The officers learned yesterday
that Edward Leech, neighbor of Tai
helm, saw Barton leave Talhelm's house
about 2:3O O'Clock Monday afternoon
and walk rapidly down the street. To
Leech, Barton seemed to act in an ex-
cited manner. Barton denies being in
any way implicated in the crime. 1t is
now thought that robbery was not the
sole motive for the crime In fact, the
officers strongly hint at jealousy, and
woman may be drawn into the case.

Cars Life Threatened.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10, via frontier.
A fortnight ago the Car found written
on the blotting of his desk the words
beware, your life is threatened, q"
The Car at once ordered inquiries TO be
made in an effort to find the culprit, but
without avail. Three days later the in
cident was repeated. The Car had now
become alarmed, and summoned gen.
eral whose reputation for clever detection
was of the best. The general, fearing
that his own life was in danger from the
conspirators, surrounded himself with q
body guard. The next morning he found
the following words written on the blot
ter in his own room: "You have moth
ing to fear. The game we are after is
too big for us TO trouble about fools like
you" The whole ofthe imperial house
hold is reported to have been in a state
of panic ever since the occurrences.

lean Board from Rev. j. 5. Porter, it,
missionary in Schemmel, Bohemia, states
that the whole heart of Europe, partic-

sugar-beet crops are 50 light that many
sugar factories will not be opened tbl'

lers to 40 hellers per kilogram and milk

that for six weeks No steamers have been
able to move and in many places one
can wade across the river. Mills and fac
tories stands idle, and thousands who
usually find employment are now out OF

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. "A, 1904

An ARTICLE in this column few
DAYS ago called attention to the fact that
while "gentlemen Of the road' in the
shape of Dick Turpin and others had
disappeared, they have been succeeded
bv modern train-wreckers who are often
bent upon precipitating sleeping pasen-
gers into eternity and manning and dis
membering others in order that they
MAJ murder and rob the injured and
diving. The fifth attempt to wreck a
train on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road at the same spot within few weeks
occurred three miles south of Winches-
ter Monday night, when southbound
train No. l ran into railroad ties piled
on the track near Kernstown. On
zach of the five occasions when efforts
we're made to wreck trains ties were
r;led on the track. For the third time
in less than a week an effort was made
Monday night to wreck the Central
Railway through train on its way from
Savannah to Atlanta. At "SS-mile
,ostv the .rain struck a cross-tie placed
across the tracks. Fortunately no one
was hurt. Comparatively few of the
;.o.oonts who make these diabOlical
attempts are caught, and passengers are
naturally rendered apprehensive as at
tempts to wreck trains increase.

LIKE ENGLAND in the BOer war,
Russia has been discomftted at the
beginning in her conflict with Japan,
but like Great Britain, she will con-
t;nue the war to the bitter end, realizing
that it would he a sad blow to her
prestige to stop it now. The first part
Of the campaign may be consid-
cred lost to Russia. The Russian
army has retreated nOrthward IN
the direction of Tie pass or far
ther. The arrays interiority III
men, guns and enthusiasm prevented
Kuropatkin resisting longer at Liao-
wang or achieving at Yental victory
which would have obliged the japanese
to fall back. The japanese will tri-
umphantly enter Muklen. During the
lull in operations he Car will reinforce
his army and make it ready for the de-
cisive conflicts which are inevitable.
1t will take a long time for Russia anc
Japan to recuperate, no matter which
nation emerg-s triumphant Both have
had their resources severely taxed.
