William, aged fifteen years. who was buried
in the common cemetery at Allentown early
in May last in the grave of an unknown
The boy was killed by falling between the
platforms Of two cars OF a special train
that was carrying a circus from Allentown
to another place. The little fellow had
been a hanger-on of the circus.
Mrs. Certify had had strange portent
that her boy had been killed on a train
for she had dreamed of the tragedy COIN
cidentally with her husband. but. the de-
tails OF the dreams had been different
She had dreamed that he had fallen from
a train and that his leg had been crushed.
and that he had died while doctors were
amputating his shattered limb.
The queerest feature OF the case was
that on the morning that William met his
death, and there Is no doubt as to his
identity and that he was killed early on
Sunday. May Z. Mrs. Gerrity had spent
terrible night She could not sleep. she
was worried by unaccountable fears of
some horror and in the morning she was
in such a case of collapse that her hus-
band, a housesmith by occupation called
In the doctor. All day that Sunday and
while her boys body was lying mangfed In
a morgue In Allentown. she suffered agonies
that have not come to her since. and for
days afterward she did not recover.

MISS WOODS CHARGES.
An Investigation Being Made by the
State Department.

It became known today that the State
Department is making an investigation OF
charges filed with the department by Miss
Mae Wood, who alleges that J. Martin Nil
Ter. United States consul at Aix-la-C Cha
pelle. Germany. and Robert J. Wynne. con-
sui general at London. together with Will
liam Loeb jr., took from her under false
pretenses the manuscript of a book she
was writing. The book was to be called
Love Letters Of a Boss" and were said
to be letters written by Senator Platt The
State Department refuses to tell what Miss
Woods charges are, or whom they involve.
In public, however, Miss Wood has made
the charges against Mr.. Loeb. Mr.. Wynne
and Mr.. Miller. and 1t Is supposed that she
has incorporated these charges In the ones
she has made to the State Department. 1t
was said at the State Department today
that the charges had been there for
month or more.
Miss Wood has charged that Mr.. Miller
took the manuscript from her with the pro-
claimed intention OF having 1t published In
book form, but did not do so.
Miss Wood believes that she could have
made large amount of money out of her
proposed book.
Mr.. Miller Is now in this country, and Is
expected to arrive in Washington soon to
make an explanation to the State Depart
ment Of the reasons assigned by the Ger
man government for refusing to grant his
exeQuatur as consul at Aix-la-Chap ele.

AFRICAN REBELLION GROWING.
Troubles in German Sphere Have Be-
come Serious

A cablegram from Paris last night says:
While Germany's troubles in southwest Az
RIGA show no signs of improving, the wide
spread rebellion in German East Africa
also seems to be increasing to a really Sc
rious extent. The Berlin correspondent Of
tho Standard telegraphs that official dis
patches from Dar-Es-Salam. supplemented
by private news from various sources. have
made 1t clear that the situation in German
East Africa has suddenly become extreme
ly critical. The rebellion of the natives
has spread to districts and populations
which hitherto have been regarded as per-
fectly loyal. and has assumed formidable
dimensions.
The rebels attacked the three Roman
Catholic mission stations at Lukuledi. Ny
argow and Masasi, maintained by Bene-
d:ctine monks. All the missionaries. to-
gether with the European residents, were
rescued except one Catholic nun.
Another rebellion has broken out farther
north in the districts of Ukhutu and Usa-
CARA. 200 miles from the coast. CONNER
ciaI caravans have been attacked on the
great trade route which leads from Dar-Es-
Salam to the region of the Great Lakes.
All the Europeans in the vicinity of the
Ruaha river have been massa cred, but the
exact number of victims has not yet been
QeunlI6ly aSCcFtdlneQ. 1aneQEo, where
there are several dozen German residents, is
surrounded by rebels.
Count Goetzen has taken prompt meas
ures for dispatching re-enforcements The
task of restoring order. however. cannot be
performed by the troops at his disposal.
which consist of some 1,500 natives COM
manded by. forty-nine German officers and
a hundred German non-commssioned off,
GERS supplemented by 600 native police The
extension of the rebellion to large areas
renders 1t impracticable for the handful Of
troops adequately to protect the European
settlements. 1t will be necessary to dis
patch re-enforcements from Germany. and
when the reichstag reassembles in a few
weeks the government will be obliged to ask
for grant for the necessary military ac-
ton.
The native chieftain, Hassan Duka, who
has remained loyal to Germany, attacked
the rebel leader. WagtndO Kiswere. near the
coast. A stiff engagement took place.
Finally Wagfndo was put to fight.
The small German cruiser Bussard has
arrived at Lindi. 1t will land sailors to
protect European residents in the south
ern districts Of the colony.

JEWS SHOT DOWN.
Kishenef Soldiers Charge a Funeral
PARTY

cable from Kishenef last night says:
During the progress here today of a fu-
neral procession Of Jewish workmen fol-
lowing the body of poor woman who had
been killed by roughs shots were suddenly
heard and the procession was charged by
troops and police. Many Of the workmen
were wounded and fifty Of them were ar
rested. Several are missing and are sup
posed to have been killed.
The officers declined to give any explana-
ton OF the cause Of the occurrence, and
refused to allow sympathizers with wound
ed men to accompany them to the hos
pitfalls.
The Jewish hospital Is surrounded by SOL
diers and patrols are stationed at central
points in the town. Great alarm prevails.
ST. PETERSBURG. September .5.-Ad-
vices from Baku say that firing again COM
menced Sunday. the Tartars attacking the
troops with greater desperation. Thus far
the killed or wounded. according to these
advices, exceed a hundred Prince Nish-
eradzee was wounded.
A private dispatch from Baku, Caucasia,
reports sanguinary encounters between
troops and the Armenian employees Of the
taken by soldiers. The disorders commenced
at about pm. September 2, the Armenians
firing first on the soldiers on board the
cars. Eight Mussulmans. three Armenians
counters continued until l o'clock the next
morning During the evening Of Septem-
Der firing recommended, but no casual
ties were reported.
Dispatches received by the ministry Of the
interior estimate that fifty persons were
killed during the fighting September 8. with
a relatively large number wounded. the
majority of whom are Tartars. No official
accounts of Sundays casualties nor of the
events of today have been received. but
private dispatches report that corpses are
lying about the streets, and that incendiary
fires have already destroyed 16l buildings
and are still in progress.
Both factions, after the former disorders.
supplied themselves fully with arms and
they are now almost as well equipped for
street fighting as the troops. The situa-
tion not only at Baku, but also throughout
the Caucasus, has been exceedingly tense
for weeks. The disorders at Shusha had
Just ceased when the street car strike at
Baku furnished the occasion for another
outbreak

bring out more than a paltry number Of

turn up.
The record shows a single sale OF Capital
