Baku, Caucasia (By Cable)-The prin-
cipal fighting is not in Baku itself, but at
Balakhan, where hundreds have been shot
by the infantry and artillery, and where
1000 were killed or wounded during a
desperate attack on the military camp
and provision depots.
The troops sustained few casualties.
A large number of workmen barricaded
themselves in the Balkan Hospital.
The soldiers began the attack with rifle
fire and then stormed the hospital and
completed their work with the bayonet.
The manager of the Mantashof Com
pany says that the Bibiebat plants have
been burned out, that the depots of the
Caspian Company have been destroyed
and that the Christian workmen are sur
rounded by thousands of armed Tartars.
Appeals to the Gear.
St. Petersburg, (By Cable).-Through
a dispatch from Tiflis and current reports
in St. Petersburg say that the oil works
and tanks at Baku have been entirely con-
sumed and the town practically wiped
out; according to dispatch to the Nobel
Company from Baku this is an error,
and the loss, though enormous, is not
complete.
This dispatch stated that the firing in
the town had ceased and that the in
cendiarism had been checked The fate
of the banks and works which are not
yet on fire depends on the wind, which is
blowing hurricane. Unless it changes
and sweeps the fire back on the unaf-
fected districts there is hope of saving
some of the properties. The sender of
the dispatch was unable to give details
of what had been destroyed and was not
destroyed, smoke and flames preventing
a close examination.
The St. Petersburg press attacks the
government for its indecision in handling
events in the Caucasus and its neg
lect to attempt to take measures to re-
concile the Armenians and Tartars, and
declares that the ruin of one of the most
Important industries in Russia and i'm
mense losses to industry and commerce
are the fruits of the governmental dis
regard for years of the most legitimate
amp practical suggestions of the oil
men, especially the governments refusal
of their request for authority to establish
a local organization for self-protection
against the excuses of the natives.
The authorities of the Caucasus would
seem to have been taken completely by
surprise by the magnitude of the Tartar
rising. There is not the least doubt that
it had been long planned and carefully
organized, and is connected with the
Separatist movement.

Escaping Gas Causes a Tragedy at
Muncie, Ind, Late Last
Evening.

Muncie, Ind, Sept. 23,-Two dead
and two others not expected to live
is the result of gas escaping in the
cellar of the home of the Williams
family here late yesterday afternoon.
The daughtr, Maggie, II years old
went into the cellar to get something
for supper. When she failed to re-
turn Mrs. Williams also went into
the cellar to find the girl. Later the
father, ]. c. Williams, coming home
and finding no one and. noticing the
cellar way open, also went down.
The son, arriving home, and wonder
ing at the disappearance of the fam
lily. proceeded to the cellar to inves-
tigate.
He found all three bodies lying on
the floor.
He carried the father and mother
up and returned for his sister when
he fell upon the stairway. BY this
time some of the farm hands, whom
he had called, came to the house and
carried him and his sister from the
stairway.
The mother and daughter are dead
the father and son are likely to die.

viii BE Next to BE Prosecuted For
Relating.

Chicago, Sept. 23.--The prosecu-

follow the conviction of four officials
of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
company for conspiracy to receive re-
bates in the conduct of the company's
packing business. District Attorney
Morrison made the amour cement to-
day that as the Elkins law makes no

position to begin proceedings against
the railroads mentioned in the Ia
dictment through new investigation
before another grand jury.

JUDGE REED
Will Have Others Select Persons TO
Take Prisoners to Reform
School.

Judging from the remarks of Cir
cult Judge Reed from the bench
this afternoon, the life of circuit
Judge Is not without its trials and
tribulations.
Jesse Stringer, Ia year old col
ored boy who had raised drafts on
the Paducah Cooperage Co., was
brought into court and plead guilty
to the charge. There was no jury,
the jury having been dismissed, and
by statutory law, the boy giving his
consent, he was ordered taken to the
reform school. When the question as
to who should take him came up,
Judge Reed made his few remarks.
He asked who wanted to take the
boy, or rather who had the CON-
monwealth agreed should take him.
He said that the people had been
running after him to take the boy
and he wanted to shift the RESPONSE
bility. He stated that hereafter he in
tended to shift the responsibility OF
appointment to take away such pris-
oners to the commonwealth and
county attorney. Officer John Hes
sian, who arrested the boy. was ap-
pointed to take him.
Taking children to the reform
school is one of the ways the state
loses big money, as the officer who
takes person there gets about SIS
which is several times more than the
expenses.
