London, England--The St. Peters
burg correspondent Of the Daily Tele.
graph in dispatch dated Dec. 5, sent
by way of Eydtliuhnen. East Prussia,
says:
"Lieut. Gen. Sallharoff, eX-minister
of war, was assassinated today.
"'The government had deputed Gen.
Sakharoff to visit the province of Sar-
atoff for the purpose of quelling the
agrarian riots there.
"A woman belonging to the so-called
flying columns OF the revolutionary
movement called at the house of the
governor of Saratoff at noon today
and asked to see Gen. Sakharoff.
"She fired three revolver shots at
the general, killing him on the spot,
THE tidings reached st. Petersburg
tonight. Count Witte charged Lieut.,
Gen. Rudiger, minister of war, with
the task of breaking the news to Nine.
Sakharoff.
THE event has created a profound
impression in st. Petersburg, owing
to the fears that the revolutionists
here will follow the example thus set.
"The spectre of military dictator
ship, which has been looming on the
horizon, is slowly gaining consistency
and sharpness of outline.
"There are signs of a collapse of
the post and telegraph strike. Two

New York-The resignation of U. S.
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew as di-
rector of the Equitable Life Assurance
sOetoty- wtrs one or ttr7- r.logt i,,to-s44
ing deelopments on Dec. in the situa.
tion growing out of the life insurance
investigation.
The senator's resignation was ten
tered to President Paul Morton of the
Equitable society in brief note, in
which no reason for it was stated,
The report was published that Pres
ident John A. Mccall of the New York
Life will resign before the annual
meeting of the trustees in April, and
that if he does not tender his resigna-
tion at a meeting Of the trustees next
Wednesday he will refrain only at the
request of the trustees, who, the re-
port said, do not wish to have to elect
temporary president. The published
report also stated that the presidency
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany has been offered to John Clafln,
a trustee of the company and presi-
"
that Mr.. Clatlin has refused to accept
the office.
The attention Of the legislative in
vestigating committee was devoted
chiefly to the affairs of the Security
Mutual Life Insurance company at
Binghamton, N Y, whose president,
Charles M. Turner was on the wit
ness stand most of the day. His testi
mony and the reading of many con-
tracts served to describe in detail the
organization Of the Agency and Invest
fnent company of Binghamton in 1898.
This company paid the salary of the
president of the Security Mutual Life
Insurance company at first, advanced
it money amounting to $4,000, agreed
to furnish it with insurance business
at the rate Of $5,000,000 a year and re-
ceived in return percent commits
sion on all new premiums on the in
surance written by the company.
President Turner testified that the
Agency company collected it's commits
sions, but did not furnish the insur-
ance it promised. After two years
the stock of the Agency company was
increased to $175,000 and of the $780,
900 increase $4,000 was advanced di-
rectly to the insurance company and
$4,000, Mr.. Turner said, was ad-
vanced to Motion d. Moss, general
agent Of the company A new con
tract was then made between the two
companies by which the insurance
company agreed to pay to the Agency
company enough money annually to
pay the salary of President Turner,
the expenses of the Agency company
and also IL percent dividends on the
whole of the Agency company's stock.
President Turner said that contract
was still in force He testified that ne
now holds 100000 of the Agency com
pany's stock, and that most Of the Of
ficers and directors of the Security
Mutual Life Insurance company own
stock in the Agency company.

berly avenue bridge, which has cost
the city of New Haven $4,000.

Of non union workmen caused strike

the past month the American bridge
company has been finishing up the
Kimberly avenue work with non union
men under the guard of private detec-
tives and deputy sheriffs.
On Monday morning Al French, the
fireman employed on the work, found
two dynamite cartridges with percus
sion caps in the flrebox of the big
steam boiler located under the bridge
for hoisting. The private detectives
have been working on the case, but
without results, and today they called
in the New Haven police force to help
them.
There was enough dynamite in the
cartridges to wreck the bridge and
kill all the men employed there.

ter of Mrs. Mary Dean, the much
wanted woman in the Geary suit case

They found the house in charge of
Mrs. H, E. Walton, woman of 70.
1--WE are looking for Mrs. Mary
Dean," said the inspector to Mrs. Wat
ton.
"She is not here, and / know no
such woman" was her reply.
After some further conversation
with Mrs Walton the police learned
that the house is used as a private
hospital and that there were four pa
tients there, all of them bedridden and
elderly women.
In going through the house the Of
ficers found a woman who at first gave
an assumed name, but who later adj
mitted that she was Sarah Jane Dean,
a sister of Mrs Mary Dean, She appear
ed to be about 45 The police also
found girl who admitted that she
was Mrs Elizabeth OBrien Mrs Mary
Deans daughter.
Although the police questioned these
women from Z until II o'clock it was
not until after the arrival of Supt
Pierce of the Boston police accom-
panied by Capt. Dugan and DR.. John
H. Pettee, whom Inspector McGarr
nad sent for, that the women admit.
ted their identity.
Mrs. Sarah j. Dean acknowledged to
DR.. Pettee that she was Mrs. Mary
Deans sister, and she also admitted
to him that she was at the Winthrop
street house when Susan GeaIy
was there.
Mrs. Walton acknowledged having
an intimate acquaintance with Mrs.
Mary Dean, but said she did not know
anything Of Mrs. Deans whereabouts,
and that If she did she would not tell
the police.
Mary Deans daughter likewise de-
MED that she knew where her mother
was, and also said that she would re-
fuse to give the police any informa-
ton.

Washington--Senator Redfield Proc

the Senate before the expiration of his
term.

great surprise to the people and politi-
clans of Vermont, will cause a lively

xious to succeed him. 1t is believed
that the choice will fall upon Con-
gressman David j. Foster, the present

Another JekylI and HYDE.

New York-Thomas p Wickes, a
prominent attorney and former assist
ant corporation counsel was recently
found guilty of blackmail by a jury
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court He was remanded for sentence.
The case OF Wickes is one of the
most peculiar in the criminal annals
OF the city and the man himself has
come to be known as the "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde" of the legal profess
sion. While occupying a prominent
place among his fellows in the legal
profession and enjoying a high reputa-
tion, under the name of Lewis Jar
Wis" Wickes wrote hundreds OF letters
to persons who were interested in
cases with which he was connected.
Nearly all of these letters were con-
fined to praise of Wickes and his
ability in the legal profession. Clients
were nnnap"t,.Iateyi upon ndVfuS op~
tanned the services Of so able gem
tleman, and prospective clients were
advised to retain Wickes at any cost.
Some of the letters, however, had
other ends in view, and it was one of
these which resulted in the undoing
of Wickes.
To DR.. Edward Weston Of Newark,
N. j., several OF these Lewis Jar
Wis" letters were written, advising Mr..
Weston to settle a certain litigation
against himself by paying several
thousand dollars. These letters evil
IDENTIFY were written by some one in
innate with the case, and DR.. Weston
gave them to detectives Wickes was
found out and arrested, and at the
trial just ended he admitted that he
was the writer of the letters.

Preferred to 60 Huntlnn.

North Attleboro, Mass.-Word has
been received from Paul Villandre of
Olneyville, r. l., who is alleged to
have neglected to keep an appoint
mnt with his sweetheart, Miss Sarah
Sulham, on Thanksgiving day, when
all was in readiness for their mar
riage.
Villandres excuse for not being
present is that he preferred to go
hunting.
He writes that he has no idea of de-
serting Miss Sulham, and says he
will call on her next Sunday just as
though nothing had happened
To Miss Sulham the matter is no
joke. She waited for hours in her
wedding dress on Thanksgiving day,
and kept up courage in the belief that
her lover was detained by the "seri-
GUS illness of his grandmother"
message to that effect having been re.
ceived by her.
