When Roosevelt is inaugurated on

J. q. Adams was the first to break

Dispatches from Seat of Troubles in the
Caucasus Say That Situation at
Baku Has Become Of the Most
Serious Character.


London, Sept. A firm in the city has
received cable dispatch from Baku say.
ing that the arsenal there has been blown
up.
A st. Petersburg dispatch to a news
agency says that 5000 oil towers are
burning at Baku, that the naphtha store
houses are ablaze and that the govern
ment of Elizabethpol has been transform.
ed into veritable battlefield. The mill.
tary authorities at Tifiis are sending a
force OF artillery to Baku on special
trains.
Titlis, Transcaucasia, Sept. s.-Riot-
ing was resumed at Baku Wednesday
evening on a larger scale than hitherto
and the situation is officially declared
to be Of the most serious character. The
rioters fired on the residence Of the Gov
.ernor- General.
The troops at Balakhany proved in
sufficient to cope with the mob, so artiI-
lery was used against the populace. a
fierce conilagration, famed by a high
wind, is raging.
The anarchy prevailing at Baku and
other places in the neighborhood is OF
direct Importance to this country and
70 England, Tor very large sum OF
money is invested in the oil fields. Here
Russia, Persia and Turkey in Asia meet,
and the result is very curious. The
Parsees esteemed Baku as a holy city,
because some OF the oil fountains ignite
spontaneously. The erescent-shaped bay
on which the town stands is part of the
Caspian sea but there is communication
by rail with the ports of Batoum, Poti,
and Noyorossiak on the Black Sea,
whence the oil Is shipped in tank steam
eTs to all parts Of the world.
Baku has been in Russian hands for
Just a century, the persians having been
ousted BIZ the Cars soldiers in 1906,
the harbor has been strongly fortified
and there is considerable flotilIa on
the Caspian with Baku as one OF the
principal stations. Even now there IS
almost complete separation between the
different sections Of the population, the
Persian and Tartar cities being practi-
oally isolated from each other. From
the Balakhain peninsula, eight or nine
miles north Of BaIu where are most Of
the wells, great lines of pipe carry the
oil into the black town" where the oil
refineries are situated.

MANIA FOR SUICIDE.
A Vermont Family That Can't Die in
Bed.

st. Adams, Sept. s.--No fewer than
eight suicides have taken place in the
Ricard family, Of Highgate Gore, the
latest being that OF Charles Ricard, in
Franklin. The suicide mania has extend
ed down through four generations.
About fifty years ago there lived in
Highgate Gore two brothers, Mark and
John Ricard, well to do and respected
citizens. Mark was the father Of two
sons, Jeremy and David. Mark commit
ted suicide by hanging in the orchard
forty years or so ago. Ten or fifteen
years later his son David killed himself
in the same fashion, and later Jeremy,
a Congregational deacon, took paris green
OF old John Ricard's five sons. Holmes
Ricard is the only one alive today.
Noah, after trying TO hang himself
twice, cut his throat. His brother Peter
cut not only his throat but the arteries
and veins in his ankles. Lot, another
brother, died a natural death, but the
death of John, Dr., in Massachusetts,,
while not definitely known to have been
the result Of his own hand, was consider
ed so.
Now Charles Ricard, grandson Of the
original John, has hanged himself in his
Franklin orchard, while four years ago
his son Wilbur, great grandson Of John,
drowned himself.

Quoted in manner similar to that of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
He said that all the members Of the

stockholders in the Guarantee Trust
company, which he finally declared was
nothing but a subsidiary company,
through which the Mutual traded in
securities. From 100000 to 81 500 600
OF the policyholders money, he testi-
fed, was kept ON deposit in the trust
company at pen cent. Holders Of
the trust company stock, he admitted,
