CHARGE CRIME TO AUSTIN.
Two of the Assailants of Mrs Biddle
Arrested,

LANCASTER, Pa, July Aaron Tim
bers and Jonas Sims. two of the negroes
who assaulted Mrs. Elsie Biddle of near
Burlington, N. j., were arrested In Column
bia early today. After a few hours in cell
the men confessed that they were impli-
Gated IN the affair but that they had not
taken part in the assault, which they assert
was committed by William Austin, who was
arreste last night in Philadelphia The
rews of the arrest soon spread and created
great excitement here. The prisoners were
brought to Lancaster today and lodged IN
the county jail.
Timbers and Sims were interviewed in
the county Jail this morning and the for
mer reiterated his statement that there
were only three in the party-Austin
Sims and himself. He was shown Austin's
statement alleging that Timbers had COM
mitted the assault. This he declared I'M
true, and asserted that the crime had
been committed by Austin and that he
stood in the doorway and witnessed it.
Sims disclaims all knowledge of any
thing that transpired upstairs and says
he never went beyond the first floor
prisoners are afraid of being lynched
when taken to the scene Of their crime.
COLUMBIA, Pa, July THE credit for
the arrest of the two negroes belongs to
Constable William Wittick of this place.
Wittick had been to West Chester, Pa, and
story of the crime, together with a descrip-
ton of the negroes and their names.
He at once telegraphed to Columbia to
watch a certain house. as he knew two
men named Timbers and Sims had moved
from this place to Burlington, and he felt
they would come this way. When Wittick
arrived home last night he learned that the
strange colored men had arrived in town
on an early freight train and had gone to
the home of George Ringo, whose wife is
an aunt of Timbers.
The men were traced and shortly after
midnight both were arrested.
Mrs. Biddle Critically Ill.
BURLINGTON, N. j., July Mrs Elsie
Biddle, who was the victim Of assault by
negroes early Tuesday morning, is said to
be critically i'll as the result of her expert
ence. She suffered collapse today and
went into commissions. Word was sent to
her parents home at Columbus, N. j., and
members of her family were summoned to
Burlington. A doctor is in attendance upon
Mrs. Biddle and fears are expressed that
she may die.
An officer left here today for Lancaster,
with warrants for Aaron Timbers and Jo-
mas Sims, who were arrested in Columbia.

Mobilization in Russia.

ut is difficult to understand the object Of
recent orders for mobilization in Russia.
Upward of half million of men have been
called to the colors. This would perhaps
indicate an intense purpose to prosecute the
war to a finish, but it does not appear that
such a number of troops could be trans
ported to Manchuria in less than year.
