TWO WORKMEN PERISH.
Others HeroicalIy Face Death in Effort
TO Save Comrade,

Baltimore, Sept. 2l-Peter Joyce
and Howard Smith, the latter COL
ored man, lost their lives at the bot
tom of a deep hole being dug to make
a sewer connection. Joyce entered
the excavation first and was instantly
overcome. Smith, seeing Joyce's
plight, Immediately went to his res
cue, only to be similarly overcome.
In succession two other workmen
risked their lives in the hope of saw
ing the two at the bottom of the hole.
Each Of these were lowered into the
excavation by ropes and each just
succeeded, before losing conscious
ness, in attaching a rope to one of
the first two who had gone down into
the pit, both of whom, however, were
dead when brought to the surface.
Gas accommodating over night was the
cause Of the double tragedy.

enty-second street Meeker was fol-
lowed by an interested and curious
throng. When Broadway was reached
the crowd was so dense that the oxen,
which the hale old man afterward de-
scribed as Dave and Dandy, had a
hard time to make any Roadway.
Meeker's trip ended at last at the Bat

days. Meeker's object in making his
unique journey Is to persuade the gov
eminent to build a national highway

FORCED TO LEASE MINES
Mexican MuIti-MiiIionaire Pressed by
Creditors.


Chicago, Sept. IA special to the
Record-Herald from New York says:
Pedro Alvarado, a Mexican peon,
who took millions from the Alvarado
silver mines of Parral, Mex, once
offered to pay the Mexican national
debt and astonished three continents
by his lavish display of wealth, is
now in debt and has been compelled
to realize upon his famous mine. He
owes about 100000 and because he
refused to mortgage or sell any of his
assets creditors prevailed upon him
to lease the mine, from which he has
taken nearly $18,000,000.
1t was about year ago that Alva-
RADIO offered to pay off the national
debt of Mexico. The offer was re-
fused and the Mexican kept on buy
ing silver mines and $4,000 rugs, con-
structing handsome hotels near his
mines and giving away large sums of
money.
During this time the silver mine
was being filled with water and his
royalties became smaller as work was
curtailed. Now the young man finds
that he is in need of funds and cred.
itors are pressing him for their money.

Hillsboro, O., Sept. 2'.-United
States Senator Joseph b. Foraker, ad-
dressing several thousand residents

to authorize the federal government

HARTMAN BUYS GEORGIA ROAD.
New York Paper Says He Is the Man
Who Got Thorne's Stock.

New York, Nov. ACCORDING to
the Times, E. H. Hartman was the
buyer of the Central of Georgia stock
sold last week by Oakleigh Thorne
and Marsden j. Perry, and he has
plans for the road in connection with
the Illinois Central lines The two
roads connect at Birmingham, Ala,
Georgia will give the Hartman lines
another outlet to the Atlantic.
A close associate of Mr.. Hartman,
when questioned regarding the pur-
chase Of the Central of Georgia, re-
marked that Mr.. Hartman had not
been idly watching the recent events.
The Times says further that in the re-
cent annual report of the Illinois Cen
trail Nov. / was fixed as the date on
which it's lines in Birmingham was to
be completed, and that with that date
comes the news that Mr.. Harriman's
influence in southern territory is to
be extended beyond Birmingham east
ward to the seaboard at Savannah
and westward by way of Chattanooga,
Birmingham and Montgomery.
1t is known that Messrs. Thorne and
Perry paid about s3,6O0,OOO for the
$5,O00,000 of Central of Georgia stock
which they purchased last summer
of the Richmond Terminal reorganiza-
ton committee, and it is presumed
in the financial district, the paper
says, that the Hartman interests
took over the road at not far from the
same figure.

Persecutetd.

New York, Nov. 4.-The mystery
surrounding the whereabouts of Ray

counts as result of charges made by
three little girls, has been increased
by the disappearance also of his valet,
Herman Ranke, who played miuor

cocks absence became known, was
unable to find Ranke at the theater.
Ranke's place in the cast of the play
was filled by a substitute. Whether
he has joined Hitchcock is a problem
which the police have to solve.
Flora Zabell, wife of the comedian,
again declared that she believed him
to be innocent of the charges made
against him; that he has not commit
ted suicide, but has suffered some
kind of foul play. If her husband
were found she would join him at once.
She said also that she has been great
ly annoyed by detectives with search
warrants to examine her trunks, by
defamatory letters and the receipt Of
misleading kilograms signed by the
name of her husband.
Mr.. Hitchcock's counsel said Sat,
urday that Bella Mackenzie called at
his Office Friday to deny the published
reports that she had left town in com
pany with Hitchcock The girl, he
said, declared that she had not seen
Hitchcock since his disappearance and
that she had no idea of his where

hiding in this city, fearing to go home
and face her parents.

PRIMARY BILL PASSES SENATE
illinois Measure Greatly Altered We,
Far From Becoming Law.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 2-The Ogles-
by direct primary plurality bill was
passed by the senate Friday with a
band-wagon rush and by an emergency
vote the measure now goes to the
house for concurrence in the senate
amendments. The bill received 40 af-
firmative votes, or six more than the
constitutional two-thirds majority.
Only eight negative votes were re-
corded. They were cast by Messrs.
Cruikshank, Curtis, Gardner, Hall,
Humphrey, Lish and Tiffany, Repub-
ltcans, and Frederick, Democrat.
The amendments the senate tackled
on the bill in sending it to third read
ing last night have weighted" it in
the eyes of the house and the general
belief is that the popular branch will
refuse to concur in the changes. Then
the senate will refuse to recede and
ask for conference committee. Two
amendments passed late Thursday
afternoon are looked upon as Sink
ers" SO far as concurrence by the
house is concerned.

LANDSLIDE KILLS $4,000
MOUNTAIN sWooPs DOWN ON
RUSSIAN TOWN..
Earthquake Disaster Results in Death
TO Entire Population Of
karatagh.

Tashkend, Russian, Turkestan, Oct.
31.-The whole of the town of Kara
tagh, in Bokhara, has been destroyed
and the entire population, numbering
about $4,000, was buried by noun
tain slide following the recent earth
quake there.
Only Governor and Mother Alive.
The governor Of Kartagh and his
mother were the only persons who
survived the disaster.
The province of Karatagh, in which
the city Of the same name is located,
has an area of about $4,000 square
miles with population of approx
mately 100000, exclusive of the
nomads. The inhabitants Of Bokhara
are made up of many tribes, consist
ing principally of Arabs, Persians and
Jews, who are engaged in the cara
van trade. This portion of Asia is
noted for its breeding of fine horses
and the production of shawl-goats.
In the long Karatagh mountain
range, which varies in height from 800
to $3.50 feet, may be seen many de-
serted cells and shrines which have
been used in centuries past as places
of worship. The famous peak of Hell
lenes Ida is to-day the mecca of the
surrounding peasantry, who at the
time Of the feast of the prophet Elias
gather to kneel at the dizzy height on
that peak to worship when the sun
shows itself above the horizon. 1t is
said that the ceremony has changed
little since it's inception in the pagan
period
st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-A dispatch
received here from Khokand, Turke-
stan, confirms the Tashkend re-
port of the almost complete destruc-
ton of Karatagh by landslide fol-

Karatagh mountain hanging over the
city broke loose, slid down and al
most completely buried the city of
Karatagh.
