dred tons each the wreckers unset and
lower the columns to the ground with as
much ease as if they were wooden posts.
Chains swinging from the arms of
huge cranes are fastened about the mar
bic pieces and one by one they are be-
ing lowered without being broken or
hardly scratched. Much care is exer-
cised by the workmen in moving the pill
lars, as they are the most valuable part
of the wrecked structure.
Wreckers have worked night and day,
the weather having been unusually fav
orable, and as a result thousands of
tons of wreckage have been torn out
and moved on wagons from the business
section of the city. Every day crowds
gather on Clark, Washington and La
Sale streets and watch the workmen as
they climb out on cranes and work in
other perilous positions. Several lives
have been lost by accidents during the
work. The work of the laborer in the
wrecking of a building is not an easy
one. The new employees for the greater
part find themselves unable to withstand
the hard work and many resign after the
first day.

Mutinous Soldiers and Sailors Joi.,

pei Inhabitants to FIcc--FTaIrc
After Massacre.

A dispatch from ST. Petersburg says
that the sailors of the Russian squad
ron at Kronstadt mutinied Wednesday
night, overpowered their officers, land
ed and attacked shops, public build
ings and spirit stores. Troops were
called out and fighting ensued, in
which machine guns We're used and
many persons were killed or wounded.
In addition a number of houses We're
set On fire. The fighting lasted all
night. The British embassy in St.
Petersburg requested General Trepoff
to protect British subjects az Kron-
stadt.
Authentic accounts received at Odes-
sa from various points in Bessarabia
show that the anti-Jewish outbreaks
there followed the same lines as at
Odessa, varying only in the number O.
victims. At Kishenev the disturbances
were preceded by infammatory
speeches, gendarmes and city officials
near the Governors house asserting
that the Jews had attempted to take
the life of the local bishop and intend
ed to loot the treasury. The mob was
thus melted to the bloody work.
Carrying ikons and portraits of the
Emperor, the mob proceeded to Alex
androvskaia, Pushkinskaia and Gostin-
kaia streets, devastating and pillaging
unhindered. Attempts at self-defense
were prevented by the troops. Ninety
per cent of the killed and wounded
were victims of bayonets and rifle
bullets.

Applicant for Divorce Tells a IA
thetic Tale of Cruelty.
The petition for divorce filed by Mrs
Frances Miller against William Miller
ls based on peculiar grounds. Mrs. Mil
Ter contends that her life with Miller
for twenty-six years has been one OF
complete isolation from the world, al
though they lived only five miles from
Lima, Ohio. She says that during that
time she was practically imprisoned in
ory-and-a-half log cabin which was
built in the Indian days, deep in the for
est, and with no road or walk leading to
1t except path through the woods. Mrs.
hlller's description of her ''home" IS that
the logs have become so decayed as to
allow the elements free play, while the
loft in which have slept the parents
and eight children, ranging in ages
from to IS years, is no more than
"roost, through the covering of which
can be viewed the heavens as from
modern observatory and where it has not
been unusual for the waking family first
to shake off drifts of snow gathered on
the hunks in wintry nights. In her sworn
pleading the wife tells of cruelties caused
from drink and being driven at times
from even this howell and her husband
having placed the children as they reach
ed the age of II years in state
peonage, forbidding them to return home.
Weakened in health from these attacks,
the wife asks divorce, the custody of the

PENDANT by his mother and the old fam
lily COW, which was purchased from her

Becoming suddenly violently iunsane,
Mrs. Benjamin Geist. 81 years old. liv-
ing at 113 Wells street, Chicago. threw
her 5-year-old son from the third-story
window OF her home and then attempted
to end her own life by shooting herself.
The child narrowly missed striking Miss
Lola Woods employed in a store, which
occupies the first floor of the building.
She was leaving the store when the boy
fell into a basket containing dishes
which was in front of the store. Mrs.
Lille Berton, the landlady, heard Mrs.
chests screams. and, running into tha
fiat, she found Mrs. Giest running about
the room hourishing a revolver. Lucas.
who was thrown from the window. was
begging his mother not to kill herself.
Mrs. Chest made a rush at Mrs. Berton
and pursued her down the stairs to the
first floor. Then she returned to her
nat. The next moment the child was
hurled from the window. A physician
declared that the boy would have been
instantly killed had he not fallen into the
basket OF crockery. The child was la
ter taken to the hospital. Policemen who
were summoned found the woman
caught in a pane of glass in a door
separating the kitchen from parlor. She
mad apparently jumped through the
glass IN the door, thinking it was a
window. Policemen Morbach and Ma
her lifted the woman from the glass and
were taking her to the patrol when she
began to fight with them. The insane
woman was taken to the detention hos
pltal She was still holding the re-
volver with which she attempted to end
her life in her hand when the police
arrived. The weapon was empty.

THREE COSTLY FIRES.
STORE BURNS WITH HEAVY LOSS
IN ALBANY, NJ. Y.
Town OF Burke. w. Va, Is Almost
Totally Wiped Out, Only Four
Houses and n storeroOm Remain

Fire destroyed the stock in one of the
two temporary stores opened by the
John G. Myers Company in Albany, n.
L., after the collapse of their building
last August, when thirteen persons were
killed and about thirty injured. The
burned store was on North Pearl street
opposite the Kenmore Hotel. Officials
of the Myers firm say their loss probably
will exceed $250000 and the building,
owned by the estate of 4. B. Van GAS
beck, is practically q total loss. Fire
wiped out the town of Burke, w. Va,
causing a loss estimated between $780,
900 and 100000. Only four dwellings
and one store room remain of more than
2oO houses, and it was only by heroic
work on the part of the volunteers that
this small part of the town was saved.
The Pillars Club, one of the most exclu-
sive social organizations in Cincinnati,
lost its club house on Madison road by
fire. The loss is $50, 800 on building and
contents. The building was erected in
the '40s by a capitalist named Parish

eide the question the courts had to deter

Proclamation of Martial Law Brings
Panic and Terror in Warsaw

The proclamation of martial law in
Poland has caused surprise and exas-
peration in Warsaw and there are APP
prehensions that it will provoke dis
turbances worse than those that have
already taken place. There are per-
Sistent rumors of the organization of
anti-Jewish riots and the houses of
Jews are barricaded and watched day
and night The Jews are arming
themselves with knives, revolvers and
rifles.
Poland is not to be permitted to be-
come a second Finland The Russian
government, in strongly worded
communication, serves notice on the
Polish nationalist that for good or i'll
the ancient Kingdom of Poland has
now become an integral part of the
Russian empire and that while the
government intends to fully observe
the national rights of Poland any at
tempt to wrest Polish autonomy from
the emperor would be considered an
act of revolt and would lead the
Poles into the sorrowful paths trod-
den by them in 1881 and 1863.
