uscdtbe Birch.

According to correspondent OF the
Paris Temps a Russian, who did not be-
long to the official class, but who spoke
with profound accent of sincerity, re-
counted TO him that the st. Petersburg
police, with the object of establishing
the existence of revolutionary plot,
which, however, was purely fictitious,
had made free use of the birch in order
to force imaginary confessions from their
prisoners and from wounded men and
women who were being treated in hospi-
tails, and this in spite ofthe fact that the
practice of corporal punishment and tor
ture had been legally abolished by the
Gar.
One girl, a student, who had had her
breast partially severed by COssack's
saber, was taken away from the hospital
before she was halfcured and questioned
as to her connection with an anarchist
organization by commissary of the po-
lice. Her replies being unsatisfactory,
she was stripped and fiogged with birch
on the lower part of the back until sheer
agony forced her to declare anything
her torturers wished. She was then re-
turned to the hospital, where it was nec-
essary to place her on an elastic bed, so
dreadfuIly had she been trashed, A
student of the archaeological Institute
was similarly whipped and then sent
home in a dying condition
The preposterous stories as to the
amount OF money forwarded from Eng.
land and Japan, told by rioters, were all
extracted from the victims of the police
under the above circumstances.
The same Russian informant OF the
Temps stated that he visited fifteen out
of the forty-six hospitals in st. Peters.
burg in search of missing relatives, and
counted 2, 1875 dead, which would prove
that the grand total of deaths was very
different from 96, which the authorities
confessed to.

Brutal Practical Joke.

Half score of sailors who work
along the Hoboken waterfront were ar
rested for a brutal practical joke that
probably will result in the death of John
Hanson, young man who has been
hanging around the saloons OF River
street for the past week.
Hanson was asleep in saloon when
several men entered the place. They
we're all more or less intoxicated and be-
gan throwing things at the sleeping man.
He did not wake. and one of them Sug-
gested that alcohol be poured on his
head and set ablaze.
A bottle of the spirits was obtained
and the mans head was saturated. A
match was applied and the inhammable
louid blazed up. Shrieking with pain
the man jumped up and rushed out OF
the place. The flaming alcohol had run
down into his ears and on the back OF
his neck. ;, .,
He dashed across the street and rolled
himself in a snowbank. At first the
drunken sailors roared with laughter at
his agony, but when they saw his cloth
ing catch fire and heard his cries OF agony
they fled in all directions.
When the police arrived the man lay
unconscious on a snowdrift. His hair
was burned completely of and his fea'
lures had almost been erased by the
fame. His eyes had also been burned,
and if there were any chance OF his re-
covery be would be totally blind: :,
Hanson was hurried to st. Mary,
Hospital, where the surgeons say 1t Ii
question OF hours before his sufiering'
will be over. He recovered conscious
ness long enough to makea an antemorten
statement, on the strength Of which th'
arrests we're made.
