PiIIaging and Attacks on Jews Cease
 Except In Isolated Cases.

St. Petersburg, June 19.-2:45 a. m.- A dispatch from Bialystok to the Asso- ciated Press dated at o'clock last evening, but delayed by the censor, says:
 ''The day passed without any import ant renewal of disorders. Pillaging and attacks on Jews have ceased ex- cept in isolated cases. Thetroops ap- parently are in full control of the situ- ation, but small bands of armed revolu- tionists are still making a fight against the troops, firing occasional shots, but without casualties. Funerals have pro- ceeded throughout the day without event, each procession being escorted from the hospital to the cemetery out side the townby 8 detachment of troops. A force of Cossacks and dragons, with horses saddled, stand constantly at the enhance of police headquarters in in stant readiness to sally forth at the first alarm.
 Normal life is being resumed in Bi- alystok. A few stores have opened, provisions have arrived, and few cabs are appearing in the streets.

 lures pursued by the management dur ing the past six years.
 Since 1900 the capital stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad company has been increased from $129, ,000,000 to $303,- COG, 1000, an increase of $174000, ,000 The bonded debt has been increased from $8S ,O00, ,o00 to $192 100000, an increase of $l04 1000, ,O00; but of this amount $13,OO0- 900 is due to the assumption of the bonded debt of branch roads formerly controlled by the company through stock ownership, but which have now been absorbed, so that the actual net increase in the bonded debt is S91 ,000,- 000
 F The aggregate increase in bonds and stock, including premiums on latter. amounts to $S00, 0,0O0,0 000 Of the proceeds of these issues about $122 2,000,00 was ex- pended on improvements and additions to the property, which have been fully described in the annual reports of the board of directors, and all of which were absolutely necessary to the proper handling of the largely increased traf- fic, and to the construction of the New York tunnels and terminals, and the purchase of real estate connected there with. About $40 900 has been in- vested in the stocks of other companies which are yielding satisfactory return and which are worth much more than their original cost The remainder ap- pears in advances to subsidiary com panies, in increased shop and roadway inventories, and in cash.
 As to the results obtained through these large expenditures:
 "In the first place the company is now in a position to fully perform its pub lie duty, as it's large traffic is being moved with an ease and regularity never before attained. The financial re- suits are equally satisfactory, as will appear from the following brief state ment of facts:

 The news of the capture had reached the center of the city when the prison CT and the boy arrived at the city hall, and a great crowd had gathered Keane, white with fear, trembled so that he could hardly walk, and begged the de- tectives not to let them kill him.
 With the boy he was taken into May or Weaver's office, and the mayor inn mediately communicated by telephone with MT. Muth, who hastened to the mayors office. The meeting between father and child was most affecting. When his father had ceased to hug and caress him Freddie drew several small coins from his pocket, and showed them to MT. Muth, saying in his childish way that the man had given them to him.
 The child bore no evidence of ill., treatment beyond lack of sufficient nourishment He had been fed on bread and milk which Kean had stolen from doorsteps.
 The abductor as he sat to bb pho tographed, was the picture of misery. His clothing was greatly worn, and hia collarless shirt was filthy. He shrank from the gaze of the detectives and neWspapermen, and when making his 1 statement to Superintendent of Police Thayer he broke down and sobbed. He seemed to be in mortal fear that some one intended doing him personal injury, 1 and pleaded for protection.
 Not since the abduction of Charlie Ross has the community been So wrought up by the commission of a criminal act. The newspapers, in order to aid the police in tracing the l1idnap- per, published misleading stories for the purpose of throwing Kean off his guard. In the letters which the kid napper wrote to MT. Muth he threaten ed to kill the boy if his demands were not met, and demanded that MT. Muth tell the police d fictitious tale about the disappearance of his son in order that the detectives might be withdrawn. l Kean told the police in his statement l that he abducted the boy primarily tc secure the $400 he had embedded from l Charles J. Cooke. In addition, he said he is in debt, with no means of privid- | ing for himself. He said he never in- tended to harm the boy, and declared the statements he made in his letters l to MT. Muth that the child was being I dosed with whiskey were untrue. He kept Freddie quiet by giving him candy and pennies
 Previous to Kidnapping the Mutt child he had attempted unsuccessfully to abduct Louis Kolasky, six-year-olC boy, whose parents he believed were well-to-do.

 Bridgeport, June 18.--Coroner Doten this morning began an inquest upon the death of Charles E. Weidlich, who was killed, and a number of injured in the overturning of a trolley car just over the Fairfield town line yesterday afternoon.
 Motorman Albert Crossman and Con- ductor James T. Mccoy were examined but their testimony shed no light upon the cause of the car jumping the track. They stated that at the time it was coasting down hill with no power on, at from eight to ten miles an hour, and that the motorman had it under control with the brake. They stated they saw no obstruction of any kind upon the track and that the car was not sWaying or rocking.
 It Is said that Miss Swartz of New York sustained a severe fracture of the hip and it is thought that her con- dition is serious.
 Superintendent Smith of the trolley company said to-day that he was un- able to explain how the car left the track as the car had recently been overhauled and was ill good running condition He said he was satisfied that the motorman was running well within the speed limit and that he was exercising full care in handling the car.

BOTTLE NIGHT CELEBRATED.
Police Watch Pierson Hall and Talk
 Notes.

ANQISSs
 Bottle night was very quietly cele- brated on the campus last night. This was probably owing to the fact that a large number of the upper classmen got through their examinations early this year. Some bottles were thrown, how ever. Just enough, in fact, to keep up the custom.
 On York street the matter was differ ent. Bottles kept coming and many came dangerously near to passers-by. One fell on a trolley car with terrible crash. A police sergeant and two off, cers stoon in front of 25o York street with bottles flying all around them and took notes of the rooms from which they came. There were no arrests.

from kitchen stove In small pro-

of the main house. The flames had i
fairly good start when the alarm
sounded. and by the time the firemen
were on the scene, had worked to the

could be confined to the projection in

hard work the firemen did, the flames
extended to the main part of the house
and Quilted the upper part Of it, while
smoke and water damaged the lower
part. The exterior of the building was

The house is owned by Arthur L.
