Nevsky Prospect, the city's main
avenue, which last night was in dark
ness, tonight presents a weird ap-
pearance. A powerful searchlight,
mounted at the admiralty, Eliminates
the center of the avenue with a blind
ing light, leaving the sidewalks in
darkness. There was constant con-
fusion, which was augmented during
the evening by an attempt of the Cos
sacks and gendarmes to clear the
sidewalks. Two hundred thousand
men are idle. Workmen's meetings
held throughout the city today unani-
mously favored continuing the strike.
The laborers during the afternoon
stopped all the business of the city.
The situation at Moscow parallels
that in st. Petersburg. The same
paralysis has seized Russia's second
city. The strike is general. The
people are defying all prohibitions,
and are sWarming to the universities
and other meeting places. A proyi
sional government has already been
organized and is waiting to exercise
its powers. The university is barri'
caded against the troops.
The populations of other towns are
growing more violent and reports OF
disorders are arising in large numbers
from all sections. The efforts of the
troops so far have been generally sue
cessful.

MOVED cHlcAeo's PosToFFIcE
Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.

Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.
Chicago. Ill.-The gigantic task
of moving the Chicago postoftice into
the new quarters in the recently com
peted $4,000 900 federal building, with
out delaying or disturbing the handling
of approximately two million pieces
oe mail matter which the Office handles
daily, began Saturday. Frederick e.
Coyne, the postmaster, was the author
ity for the statement that the work
of the postoffice, which collects and
delivers mail over a territory of 1874
square miles, would proceed without
a moments delay.
BY Sunday, the mail, including the
outgoing, but with the exception OF
certain kinds of second class matter
which would be handled from the tenn
porary structure for some weeks yet,
will be cared for in the new building.
The moving began without cere-
mony, although United States Senator
Hopkins and the majority OF the
Chicago congressman together with
representatives from the postmaster
generals department were present.
"Our installation here today" said
Mr.. Coyne, marks distinct change
in methods of handling mail in Chica-
go. Work that has been done by hand
ever since there was a postofice here
will be done by machinery. | believe
we now have the best equipped office
machinery in the world. With pneu-
matte tubes running from the post
Office to all the principal stations, and
with the prospect that within few
weeks all heavy matter will be carried
by electric cars TO the depots, through
the tunnels OF the Illinois Tunnel com
pany. | believe that the beginning OF
the new year will find mail handled
faster in Chicago than any other place
In the world"

RAW MEAT DIET KILLS CoBDEN
ST. Louis Heavyweight a Victim of
tuberculosis.

st. Louis.-William Golden. said to
have been the largest and strongest
man in Lafayette Park district, died
recently from tuberculosis which his
friends insist was brough by raw
meat diet. Golden was superin-
tendent of steam filters. He was
6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighed $50
pounds. His workmen say he could
carry three times as much dead weight
as they. and it was no unsual sight to
see him pick up 800 pound radiator
and carry it from the ground to the
third floor of a building. His feats
of strength, Golden often said, were
due to a diet of raw meat. He was
known to eat tive pounds of beefsteak
and three boxes of imported sardinest
at a sitting. He would drink half
dozen large glasses of beer in as many
gulps.

TRAIL OF BLOOD IN BANK.
Man Murders Twe--Wounds Two 9th.
ers-Defies Armed Crowd.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Oct 29.-Mayor
Charles Nickel of Chenoa was shot and
killed Saturday afternoon in the Bank
OF Chenoa; Hugh Jones, brick
mason. was shot and fatally injured,
dying in the bank, and two passersby
were shot and slightly wounded by
William Leduc, a farmer who lives
near Chenoa. Leduc, after the shoot.
ing, dragged the body of Jones into the
bank vault, closed the door and defied
arrest, until he surrendered tonight
to the officers.
Nickle, who was Leduc's brother in
law, was cashier of the bank, as well
as mayor of Chenoa. Leduc came in
from his farm this afternoon, walked
into the bank and without warning
shot Nickle dead. In the bank, beside
Nickle and Hugh Jones, were Cash
Ter Nickle's son and another small boy.
The boys escaped through the back
door.
After Nickle had been shot, Jones
attempted to grapple with the MUIR
derer, but was himself shot by Leduc.
TWO men passing along the street,
who Leduc feared might attempt to
capture him, were shot by him, one
in the head, the other in the hand,
but their wounds are not serious.
An immense crowd well armed, gath
cred at the bank in an attempt to cap
ture the slayer. He drew the door of
the vault almost shut after dragging
Jones bMy inside, and would allow
no one to come within range. Leduc
told the officers that Jones was dead.
Ammonia and chloroform were used
plentifully in an attempt to overcome
the murderer but he succeeded in get
ting enough air to thwart the effect of
the drugs.
High voltage electric wires were
strung from the electric plant to
the bank, and had Leduc not surren-
dered within a few hours it was
planned to render him helpless by con-
Meeting the wires with the bank vault
and turning on the current. Had this
scheme failed, Leduc was to be starved
into submission. Several hundred
shots were exchanged between the
posse and Leduc. Leduc insisted that
Jones whom he shot and dragged into
the vault was dead. Doubt on this
point was the principal reason why
extreme measures were not taken to
effect Leduc's surrender After Lee
due surrendered the dead body of
Jones was found
