TAlNs FRIGHTFuL INJURIES
AT ALBA

abba, April 16.-(special.)-s. G..
West, of Charlton, travelling repre-.
sentative of the Kemp Harvester Co.,
of Waterloo, suffered the amputation
of both feet early Sunday morning
when he fell under Burlington pas
senger train No. at the depot in this
city. He was trying to board the
train when the accident occurred and
several cars passed over his limbs.
The right leg was severed between
the knee and ankle and the left at the
ankle joint.
Baggageman William OFT heard the
cries Of the injured man just after the
train had left the station, and imme.
diately summoned aid. Mr.. West was
taken to the Office Of Drs. Powell &
Powell, where his injuries were
dressed. His wife and other rela-
tives were notified of the accident and
came at once to Abba Mrs. West
was accompanied by her 13 year old
son and her sister, Mrs. j.. O. Grips,

prominent tailor, was assassinated and
two negroes are in Jail. Later an old
peddler was killed, and negroes were
accused of that crime.
This created a strong anti-negro
feeling. 1t was in fear that Saturday
night tragedy would be enacted that
caused delegation of negroes to try
to prevent an anti-negro play from be-
ing given here. The play which was
given intensified the bitter feeling.
A Day of Terror.
Sunday was a day of terror in
Springfield. The news that Miss Ma
bel Edmondson, the white woman as
saulted, had positively declared that
the men hanged Saturday night were
innocent spread like wildfire through
the negro settlements late Sunday and
aroused the blacks to a frenzy. Only
the efforts Of few of the cooler-head-
ed leaders prevented the negroes from
making an attack on the whites, and
it is doubtful if these same leaders
can continue to hold their followers
in check.
Martial laE was practically declared
and the town was placed in the hands
of the soldiers, who are aided by $50
extra deputy sheriffs, sworn in Sunday.
No further disorder of an organized
character OCCURRED during the night.

RECENT EVENTS IN RUSSIA
BRING DECLINE OF RE-
LIGloUs FERvoR

st. Petersburg, April 16.-The most
val in the Russian capital was a
marked decline in religious fervor
shown by the populace. This Is attri-
buted to the revolutionary propagan-
da, which, in striking at the roots Of
the state, touched also blind devotion
to the church.
The Easter festival, the anniversary
OF the Jewish massacres at Kshiney
and other places, happily was not
stained this year, so far as was report
ed up to. midnight, by anti-Jewish ex-
cesses. The measures taken by the
central government and the orders
sent to the provincial authorities to
take every precaution, with the added
warning that they would be- held per-
sonally responsible for outbreaks, ap-
parently were effective, though the
danger will not be over until the East.
or holidays are passed.
Durnovo's Act .signif7cant.
The high church feast was celebrat.
ed today in the usual fashion, with
much eating and drinking and the ex.
change Of the kiss Of peace.
- =
The streets Of the capital have been
alive since early morning with the
cabs Of government officials and clerks
making their congratulatory calls on
their superiors.
Minister of the Interior Durnovo
however, published notice to his sub.
ordinates stating that it was not ne.
cessary for them to call on him. His
retirement from Office has not been
announced, but this decltnation Of con.
gratulations is regarded as another in.
timation that his REIMBURSEMENT Of Of
flee is a matter Of a few days. Count
Witte for the moment seems to have
downed his rival, the elections hav.
ing strengthened his position greatly
and enabled him to lay the blame for
repressions on M Durnovo.
