sons were killed, 80 or more were seri-
ously injured, and probably a score of.
others cut and bruised in the most dis
astrous railroad wreck recorded in this
state for many years. The wreck
occurred at 8:15 O'Clock at Bakers
Bridge station, a mile and half west
of Lincoln, on the main line of the
Fitchburg division OF the Boston &
Maine railroad. The regular Sunday

o'clock for Montreal by way of the
end of an accommodation train bound
for points on the Marlborough branch,

Of the dead, dozen were passen-
gers in the two rear cars of the MARI
borough train. The other two were
Engineer Barnard, of the Montreal ex-
press, and his fireman. No passengers
on the express train were injured. OF
those who lost their lives, a numper

collision, while others were either
burned to death or died from suff.ca-
ton.
There were 10 persons taken from
the wreck and three died after being
removed. Three of the bodies were
headless. Two skulls were found at Q
a. m. and 20 minutes later a mans

Rumor of Dictatorship.

Count White called an extraordinary
session of the cabinet Monday after
noon to consider the situation. Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, presi-
dent of the council of national defense
and commander Of the imperial guard,
was present and this fact caused a re-
vival of the rumor that the grand duke
might Immediately be appointed dicta-
tor; but it can be taken for granted
that this step has not been decided
upon, as it is plain at this juncture
that it would be sure to precipitate an
immediate armed revolution Never
theless Count Whites government, if
it continues its present policy, in the
opinion of many students of the situa-

increasing problems. The revolution

ALARM in RUSSIA
SUCCESSFUL MUrlkY OF SAILORS
AT SEBAST0P0L.
Open Revolt of an Entire Regiment
of Troops-Ugly Reports Circulated
Among Manchurian soldiers-Line-
witch Puts Down Mutiny-count
Whites Government Weak.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27-The sue
cessful mutiny Of the sailors of Sc
bastopol, accompanied by the first
open revolt of an entire regiment of
troops, has created the greatest alarm
in government circles, and no attempt
is made to disguise the seriousness of
this latest crisis.
The army is the last prop OF the
government. Mutiny is contagious,
and the epidemic OF revolt which has
attacked in turn practically all the
units of the navy from Vladlvostok to
Cronstadt it is now feared is destined
similarly to spread throughout the
army.
Ugly reports have been repeatedly
circulated of sedition among the sol
diers in Manchuria, and it was report
ed a week ago that General Linevitch
had to put down a mutiny with con-
siderable bloodshed and that subse-
quently he executed AZ men. No con-
firmation of this report was obtain
able, but whether it be true or not
the morale Of the troops on garrison
duty in Russia has certainly every
where been shaken by the revolution
airy propaganda, and the fidelity of in
dividual units, even of the guard regi-
ments, is questioned.
During the disturbances following
the issuing of the emperor's manifesto
some of the provincial governors de-
clined to call on the regular body Of
troops. preferring to rely upon the
Cossacks to quell disorders.

Have Fun at Home.

Chicago Journal.
 Don't be afraid of a little fun al home. Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your hearts, lest a hearty laugh shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there! If you want to ruin your sons. let them think that all mirth and social enjoy ment must be left on the threshold without when they come home at night. When once a house isFregarded as only A place to eat. drink and sleep In. the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and reckless degradation. Young people must have fun and re- taxation somewhere; if they do not find 1t at their own hearth-stones 1t will be sought at other and less profitable places. Therefore. let the fire burn brightly at night and make the home stead delightful with all those little arts that parents so perfectly under stand. Don't repress the buoyant spir- its of your children. half an hours mer- riment round the lamp and fireside or home blots out the remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the influence of a bright little domestic sanctum.

 During last night some thief entered the home of L. Thalheimer on Church street and went through the house. but got away with very little booty. The thief entered the house through a kitchen window. The window had been left unfastened and entrance into the house was an. easy matter for the bur glar.
 After entering the house the thief prowled over 1t until he came to the room occupied by MT. Thalheimer. who was the only occupant of the house at the time. After entering the room the thief took the gentlemen's trousers from a chair upon which they were hanging and carried them down stairs, where he went through them at his leisure. This morning when MT. Thal- heimer began to dress he missed his trousers. A search was made for them and he found them later downstairs. About the only thing that was missing was a purse which was in one or the pockets of the pants. The purse con tained about s4.G0 and a note. On the floor by the side of the chair in MT. ThaIheimer's room there was found his spectacle case, which had dropped from one of his pockets.
 Mir. Thalheimer remembers hearing during the night slight noise. which was probably caused by dropping Of this case and when he heard the noise he moved. His moving doubtless fright ened the thief and caused him to take the trousers down stairs before he went through them.

 1,ss Bessie Lamar Bancroft passed away at fo:3o o'clock last night at the family home in this city. Her deatn was exceedingly sad and especially so from the fact that but few Weeku since an elder sister died and her re, mains were inferred while the invalid was lying in another room totally uh- conscious of the sad event. Miss Lamar was IT years of age ana the youngest daughter of Mrs. Gather inc o. and the late Charles Bancroft' twelve weeks ago she became i'll with typhoid fever and in spite of the phy- sicians' skill and tender care of her mother and relatives. the dissolution came, but not until another beloved daughter had been borne from the fam- ;Iy home, a victim of the same disease Bessie Lamar Bancroft was truly a lovely and lovable young girl Just nearing young womanhood she was the idol of her home and her warm per sonal friends were many throughout the city, She was of an unusually sweet disposition and her death is sin cerely mourned by all who knew her The deeply bereaved mother, brothers and sisters have the profound sympa- thy of hosts of friends in Mobile.
 News was received here this morn- ing of the death at 3:30 o'clock at her home in New Orleans of Mrs. Mary Catherine Cowley, the wife of George E. williams. Her death was due to yellow fever. It was hoped, from news had here yesterday evening, that she would recover and the sad intelligence this morning came as a shock to hei parents, relatives and hosts of friends here and in Toulminville.
 Mrs Williams was the eldest daugh' ter of MT. and Mrs. John Cowley ot Toulminville and a most lovabie young lady She graduated at the Convent of the visitation near Mobile and was the pride. not only of the good sisters but her sohoolmates as well.
 On April 30, 1901, she was joined ir marriage at the family home In the presence of many friends to MT. Will Hams and with him went to New Or leans, taking with her the loving wishes of her numerous friends for a long and happy life. One child, with the father, survive her in New Or leans. Besides these and her parents five brothers, Messrs. John R.. James A. William. stanislus P. and Loyola T Cowley, and three sisters, Mrs. E. P Koch of Pensacola and Misses Amber R. and Annie E. Cowley, mourn hel sad and untimely death. Among hei host of relatives here she has ar aunt. Sister Mary Alacocque Gin the world Kate Cowley) of the Convent oi the Visitation.
 Just ten days ago in Pensacola. Fla. another aunt, Miss Easter Cowley. died very suddenly while visiting her niece Mrs. Koch. the remains being brought here for interment.
 The saddest feature of the death oi Mrs. Williams Is that her parents ana relatives, owing to existing conditions in New Orleans, cannot go to the be. reaved father and child. The remain! of Mrs. Williams were inferred today in New Orleans because of the regula' tions of the Board of Health of that city.
