Stern Military at Warsaw
Deals out Death SentenC-
es in Great Number
MOST OF THEM ARE JEWS
THE TERRIBLE MASSACRE AT
LCE-SENTEhCES MAY BE
COMMITTED.

Warsaw sept. 1S.-Arraigned Tor
trial before a military court composed
of officers who recently organized the
terrible massacre at Siedlce, 200 per-
sons, arrested while the outbreak
there was in progress, were condemn
ed to death for alleged acts of vio-
lence committed during the massacre.
That the officers who arranged the
program would condemn their victims
to death for the purpose of making it
appear to the world that Siedlce was
full of violent revolutionists, whose
activity made the massacre justifi-
able, was foregone conclusion. Those
who have been sentenced are for the
most part Jews, relatives and friends
of the unfortUnates who were killed
or wounded during the massacre. The
passing of the death sentence on the
prisoners has aroused a storm of pro-
test. as the injustice of the act is so
apparent It is believed the authori-
ties at st. Petersburg will order a
communication OF the sentences.

Tne planet Jupiter was carousYng
UP and down the milky way last night
in a manner that attracted the gaze
of many of the curious persons of the
city He was first noticed in the due
west and seemed to circle upward
for a space and then downward and
out of view.
1t was thought that account of the
rapidity with which the planet NOV
ed, and the unusual twinkling that it
might be an air-ship. 1t seems that
it is peculiar of this jewel of the
heaven TO rise a~d set without the
waste of time credited to his lesser
satilities.
