Mobile, Ala, July 14.-While it had
been intended by the Honduras authori-
ties to legally execute Robert McGill,
the negro iend who killed twelve people
on the schooner Olympia, of Utilla, de-
spite the laws which do not allow capital
punishment, Captain Doe, of the Nor
wegian fruit steamer Condor, which ar

time. 1t is claimed that McGill was a
British subject and that international
complications may result.

Bodies 10 be Exhumed.

New York, July l4.-District Attor-
ney Clarke, of Brooklyn, today decided
to have the body of Frederick E. Garlic
toms second wife, who died March 10 of
tetanus, exhumed in order that an autOp-
sy may be performed. 1t is believed
that as a result of an autopsy that it can
be definitely determined whether Garlic
toms second wife, insured for SO, 900,
came to her death by natural causes, or
as the result of poison. 1t is also
probable that the body of Carleton 8
first wife, who died at Washington, d.
c., in June, 1904, and who was in
sured for SO, 900, may also be exhumed.
Both women are buried in Brooklyn.

Floods in Virginia.

Highwater in midsummer is the phe-
nomenal condition existing in the James
river valley now. Phenomenal rains
have fallen daily for week and much
damage has been done by the sudden
rising of small streams. A flood is ex-
pected at Richmond in the next "a
hours.
Dispatches from Roanoke say that the
heavy rains during the past 10 days
have caused the mountain streams to
rise very high, in some instances higher
than since the freshet of 1873. Reports
show that great damage was done We'd
nesday night. The lowlands have been
swept clean and many bridges carried
away.
At Radford, a new iron bridge being
built across New river for the Norfolk
and Western Railway was badly dam
aged and two spans of falsework were
swept away. The river at that point
rose 10 feet and traffic was delayed eight
hours.
At Pulaski, Peek creek is higher
than in years, and great damage has
been done to roads and streets.
At Wytheville the precipitation in II
hours was 3 inches, and Reed river is
higher Than it has been in 80 years.
At Irving, Goose creek is sweeping
everything clean.
At Roanoke the rainfall for tine past
II days has been 73S inches. while the
average monthly rainfall for that section
is but inches. Roanoke river rose
fast after midnight Wednesday, and
families living in Peedee bottoms were
endangered and fled 10 the hills. Trains
have been greatly delayed by wasbouts.

THE SELECTION Of NJ. Sergius White
as chief of the Russian peace plenipoten-
tiaries is justly regarded as portending
an early peace between Russia and Japan,
as he was from the first opposed 20 pro-
voking Japan to precipitate war Had
his council been needed his country
would have been spared the loss of many
thousands men and millions of money,
to say nothing of the humiliation to
which she has been subjected during the
past eighteen months. NJ. Sergius
Witte is DESTROYS of Strengthening the
things that remain, in order that Russia
may begin at once to recuperate from
her many reverses. He was averse to
Russia's occupancy of Manchuria after
assuring other powers that she would
keep out of that portion of the world.
Had the Gar withdrawn when advised
to do so he would have been spared the
disgrace of being forced therefrOm by
the MikadO.

He Needed the Money

The alleged shortage of w. b. Jenkins
money order clerk of Portsmouth post
Office, is 81, 900. He returned $500 to
Inspector Bulla yesterday and says he
will restore the 81, 100 balance if allowed
a short time. The discovery of the al
legged shortage was due to assigning a
woman clerk to the money order desk as
more suitable for her and transferring
jenkins to another place. In explain
ing the new duties to the woman, Jen-
kins had to admit that his accounts were
so confused that be could not understand
them, and when Inspector Bullawas call
ed he discovered the shortage and sus-
pected Jenkins. jenkins said he used
the money in his ambition to become a
paymaster in the navy, for which he had
stood a civil-service examination. A
man was dismissed from the ssme Office
three years ago for using 81, 900 Of the
governments money, which was restor-
ed by his sureties.

Rodv Identihed.

Boston, July l4.-The woman found
murdered on the grounds of the Airing
ton Gold Club, in Belmont yesterday
afternoon, WAS identified this morning
az Emmeline Sehidlosska, the wife of
John Schidlosska, "a Pole living in
Brockton, and working as a barber in
South Braintree. Officers are now
searching for the husband, Schidlosska
just after II O'Clock last night awakened
his former employer, Charles Grissley,
in Braintree, and asked him to give him
the key TO the barber shop that he might
get his tools and some other belongings.
Schidlosska seemed greatly excited as he
talked with Grissley. He got the keys,
secured his belongings, and when he re-
turned the keys, said: Goodbye, |
am going to California. Schidosska
left Grissley's employ last Saturday
night, saying he was going to California
within few days. Schidlosska for a
long time had talked with his employer
regarding his Intention of going to Cali
fornia as soon as he was able to do so.
Although Schidlosska had not been seen
by Grissley since Monday night, several
persons who knew him saw him board
a Boston bound train at Brockton Tues
day afternoon. The body of Mrs.
Schidlosska, with the head almost severed
from the trunk, the chest stabbed again
and again and horribly mutilated, the
face so crushed as to be almost unre-
cognizable, was found yesterday after
noon at the extreme corner of the Airing
ton Golf Club links, near the Belmont
line. The murder is one of the most
atrocious in the annals of Boston.
This morning an aunt and an uncle
of the dead woman were brought to Ar
lingtOn by State officers and made COM
plete Identification. They at once said
the woman was the wife of the missing
barber, to whom she was married but
few months ago. The dead woman and
her slayer, according to her aunt, left
home Wednesday afternoon Ostensibly
to make visit At the time both were
apparently in the most amiable spirits.
The murderer and his victim evidently
lost little time in going to the scene of
the tragedy, where both were unknown.
Briefly stated, the theory of the state
police is that the murderer, firing of the
woman, and wishing to be rid of her
planned her death, at the same time lay
ing out line of escape, part of which
included the tale of going to California,
to throw the police off his trail. They
charge that he deliberately lured the
woman to Belmont, which lie knew was
lonely and where neither was known, to
put her away. The theory is now ad-
yanced by officers investigating the case
that robbery was the motive for the
crime. Mrs. Scholastic had been a
domestic before her marriage, and it is
believed that she had saved up fully
81, 900. 1t is thought that with this
money in her possession she was lured
away to Arlington on some false pre-
tense.

The ANNUAL reunion of the Presby-
terians of southern Pennsylvania, Mary
land and the two Virginias was held at
Penmar Park, Nd, this week. While
the hot wave has held sway, causing
physical, mental and spiritual torpOr,
these brethren have been discussing pre-
destination and endeavoring to make
plain to the world the difference between
that doctrine and fatalism. Expatis-
tons on these subjects in cool weather
have decided tendency to drive some
to distraction and equally as many from
churches, although those whose minds
run on them doubtless mean well. Such
subjects are beyond the grasp of finite
minds, and whatever may be the indi-
vidual convictions entertained, they
ralhcr tend to confuse the masses when
dwell upon in pulpits.

New Haven, Conn, July 14-The
session of Grand Lodge, Royal Arcanum,
which yesterday convened for the put
pose of taking some action concerning
the recent marked advance in the assess
ments in the order, was an animated
one. Three resolutions were submitted
to the GrandCouucil asking the Supreme
Council to reconvene and reconsider the
new table of rates. The resolution sub
mitted by the Stamford Lodge was
adopted. 1t was in substance that the
supreme representatives of the council be
instructed to sign petition to the SUI
preme Council asking that it be recon-
vened vt an early date to recommend a
new table of rates, and devise some
method by which the council can raise
sufficient amount OF money to pay the
death claims without the high rates re.
Gently levied on the old members. This
resolution was adopted by majority
vote, there being some opposition to it.

Color Line Strike Fails.

A two-day strike of white girls en-
ployed in the Office of A. J. Logan &
Co., of Piltsburg, Pa, mattress makers,
ended at noon yesterday, although
Eslella Wells, a colored girl against

the Office, wearing real cuffs and high
heeled shoes, while the white strikers
are sewing rags back in the shop in the
same old way. Two days ago one of the
white girls reported seeing a negress
working in the Office as stenographer. A
committee of the white girls demanded
that the colored girl, whoever she was,
be discharged, saying they were not will
ing 10 slave in the sewing shop while a
negress was employed in the office. SUI
perintehdent Il. b. Harrison told them
the firm had employed Estella Wells,
late of the Pittsburg High School, to do
Office work and would keep her. If the
white girls didn't like this they could go.
There was a strike lasting SO hours, dur
ing which time all the white girls were
discharged. Yesterday morning most of
the girls came back, and on assuring the
superintendent that they didn't care if
he employed a Malay in the office, were
reinstaled.

Agrarian Disorders.

Odessa, Russia, July 14.-Agrarian
disorders are spreading rapidly through.
out southwestern Russia, and so far
all efforts to check the disturbances have
failed. The situation is rapidly becom-
ing alarming, as the authorities of the
various governments where the peasants
have risen against the landed prOprietoTs
have been unable to cope with the
aroused people. In the districts of Po-
dolia, Kief, KharkOff, Kherson, and
Isherngof the peasants are in open re-
volt. They have Systematically de-
stroyed the farming machinery belong
ing to the land owners and in some cases
have looted the estates. They have
announced their intention of taking
possession of the large estates, declaring
that the peasants are the real land own
ers. The rich residents of these dis
tricts are terrOrized and many of the
land owners have fed from their estates
taking their families with them, and
leaving the peasants in undisputed con-
troll. The authorities have done their
best to quell the peasants, but so far
have been unable to put an end to the
disorders. Grave fears are entertained
that unless the disturbances are checked
very soon, the lawlessness will spread
to other districts.

Russia's Representative Assembly.

st. Petersburg, July IL 1t is report
ed that Prince SgialtOpolk Mirsky will
probably be named as president of the
proposed representative assembly. He
is expected to return soon TO st. Peters
burg, which he left after his retirement
from the post of Minister of Interior on
account OF i'll health. Prince Sviato-
polk Mirsky, during the time he served
as Minister of the Interior, used all his
efforts toward bringing about the needed
reforms in Russia, and it has always
been popularity believed that his resig-
nation as minister was due as much
to the fact that he could not carry out
his reform ideas to the extent that he
desired AS to his poor health, which was
pleaded as an excuse for retiring. If he
is named as president of the assembly,
the appointment will therefore probably
prove popular. The reports that NJ.
Bouligan, the present Minister Of the
Interior, is soon to retire are apparently
we'll founded. General rrepof, the AS
sistant Minister Of the Interior, is the
only man mentioned as his probable sue
cessOr.
