Town of Karatagh, in Russian
Turkestan, Reported Entire
ly DESTROYED.

The whole town of Karatagh,
in Russian Turkestan, has been
destroyed, and the entire popula-
ton, numbering about $4,000,
was buried by a mountain slide,
following the recent earthquake
there.
The governor of Karatagh and
his mother were the only persons
who survived the disaster.
The shocks occurred October
20 and FL, and did great damage.
So far as known however, only
two persons were killed at that
time. The victims were struck
by falling masonry. Most of the
people fled to the open country,
bnt afterward returned to their
homes. Karatagh is in a noun
famous country and the earth
shocks are believed to have so
loosened the rock and earth that
practically the entire mountain
side toppled upon the city.
After hanging poised over the
city for several days, the noun
tain started so suddenly the in
habitants had no time for flight.
Communication with the
stricken district, never speedy, is
now completely cut off. 1t will
probably be many days before
details can be learned. Rescuers
are on their way to aid those
who may yet be alive The story
is generally accepted however,
that the community's annihilia-
tion was practically complete and
that the number of dead will not
be far, if any, short of 10000.
, Karatagh is situated 100 miles
southeast of Samarakand in Rus
sian Turkestan, where sevese
earthquake shocks occurred Oc-
tober 20 and 2l. The disturban-
ces were recorded by the Wealth
er Bureaus instruments in
Washington. They were believ-
ed to have originated in the
southern Indian ocean.

same day from St. Petersburg

76,925 Vote for Rail Strike.

Richard Bell, general secretary
of the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants of London,
Sunday announced that of the
SS,134 votes returned in the re-
cent referendum on the proposed
strike 1896 were in favor of go
ing out. Eight thousand seven
hundred and seventy-three bal
lots opposed the strike and the
remainder were spoiled, This
does not include the 100000 rail-
way workmen not belonging TO
the society.
This announcement was made
at a great meeting held in Albert
hall and attended by deputations
from all parts OF the United king
dom.
Mr.. Bell declared that the ex-
ecutive committee of the society
was we'll satisfied with this re-
suut. but it had resolved that no
further reference should be made
to the situation pending the inter-
view on Nov. 6 between Mr..
LLOYD George. president of the
board of trade, and representa-
tives of the society. He said he
hoped the mandate would not be
put into operation, but he was
satisfied that if it became neces-
sary to take this step the men
would stand by their colors.
The meeting passed a resolu-
ton heartily pledging its support
to any action the executive COM
mittee might deem necessary.

Russian Mutineers are Placed on

dead number nearly one hundred.
The ringleaders are certain to be
shot. The followers will prob
ably be sentenced to penal ser

was any connection between the
outbreaks is not yet clear. The
land battle beginning with the
mutiny of battalion of sappers

Several buildings had been

Roosevelt Bars Cat Ashes.

Public Administrator William
M. Hoes has disposed of the en-
tire legacy left by the late Mrs.
Lulu b. Glover, of New York, ex-
cepting the ashes of cremated
kitten. He has failed to get rid
OF this interesting relic. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, to whom Mrs.
Glover, committed suicide in her
apartments at New York on Dec.
10, left her estate, has firmly re-
fused to add the funeral urn
which contains the ashes of the
feline pet to his stock of curiosi-
ties.
Although it is not within the
province of the public adinistrat-
or to deal with the estates of
those who have made wills, Mr..
Hoes at the request of the presi-
dent took charge of the property
left by Mrs. Glover. He said
Sunday that he had found the es-
tate was valued at more than &c.
600, and that within the last few
days President Roosevelt had
notified him that he would give
the money to a charitable institu-
ton.
But the urn which contains the
ashes OF one of the many cats of
which Mrs. Glover was fond is
too much like white elephant to
appeal to the president. He no
tilted Mr. Hoes last week that he
expected him as executor of the
estate of Mrs. Glover to find a
resting place for the ashes of the
kitten. Mr.. Hoes has offered the
relic to several physicians. He
has found that there is no gen
eral demand for the ashes of kit
tens, SO he has taken charge of
the urn himself and is using it as
a paper weight.
According to law the cremated
kitten is the property of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and he may at
any time he chooses claim the
residuary ashes. This, Mr.. Hoes
is sure, the president has no in
tention of doing. Mr.. Hoes says
he will keep the ashes if he is un-
able to persuade anybody to ac-
cept them.
Mr.. Hoes efforts to discover
relatives of Mrs. Glover have ex-
tended over period of several
months, but have been fruitless.
AT this time there is little known
about the woman more than was
known when she was found in her
apartment after she had tried to
kill herself. She died in the Har-
lem hospital, leaving a will which
gave her estate to President
Roosevelt, many photographs of
whom were among her belong
ings.
Mrs. Glover had a penchant
for. cats. At her death several
live ones were found in her rooms
and several days later there was
discovered the urn whick con-
tains the ashes of the kitten.

HALLOWEEN DOIN'S.

Ghosts, witches, fairies and
brass bands were rulers supreme

An amusing incident in which
two of our leading citizens hgur-
ed is told. About 9 80 Thursday
evening, cumbersome matron,
with long. flowing black beard
was seen walking north on Mich
igan street. When she reached
the State bank corner she began
cutting figure SIS and other pref
tvs. Finally by way of diversion
She laid herself down in the mid
die OF the street, and proceeded
into the land of slumbers. Sher-
iff Voreis appeared on the scene,
having just returned from War
saw, and suggested to the sleep
ing beauty that she should ac-
cept pair of steel bracelets as
a token of his esteem. At this
suggestion the figure resurrected
itself, DOTTED its beard and wig,
and revealed tn shining bald
pate of Charles Cressner.

THE GERMANS KNOW
A Message From Above Saws
That He Was Only Badly
Frightened.

A large gas balloon, possibly
the German Pommeron, passed
over Plymouth Wednesday night
and dropped letter addressed to
the Tribune, which was picked
up by an employe of this Office.
The message was written in Ger
man, and a friendly translator
was called in, who rendered it in
to English, which. ran to this eff
feet.
We, Heinrich Val Blatz. and
Gustavus Anhauser Busch, were
sailing over the city of Argos,
Monday evening last, in our bal
loon when we noticed a serene
looking gentleman, carrying a
small hand valise, walking south
on the main street of that city,
approaching church nearby.
There was quite crowd collect
ed in the church, and one would
surmise that the aforesaid gentle
man was about to enter that
church. In little shop near the
church were couple of boys<F-
identity fling saws 1--WE fonly
guess at their occupation, judg-
ing by the noise that was made.)
AS the gentleman drew even
with the shop, the boys must
have dropped large saw, for we
heard the clatter some 500 feet
above the earth.
We could only sympathize
with the gentleman and his va
lise, both of whom were SO fright !
ened that the former ran away
from the latter, leaving also, his
hat behind. Upon reaching the
church, the gentleman was met
with interrogations as to the abb
sence of his hat, and his good old
law books, the latter of which
were 10 be read from.
Now as this may be written
down in the history of your ooun-
ty, in order that no erroneous re-
port maybe made of the same,
we give the event as it happened,
and appeared to us. We address
this letter to the Plymouth Trib-
une because we, even from the far
shores of Germany, have heard
of the truthfulness and honesty
of your pape.-.
Hoping we have done you
some service we remain.

Came Near IL.

Wit and humor are such elemental,
fundamental things that it has al
ways been found difficult TO analyze
them. Upon some points, however,
those who have essayed this puzzling
task agree, for they all hold that wit
is an intellectual, humor an emotional,
quality; that wit Is perception Of re-
semblance and humor a perception of
contrast, Of discrepancy, Of incongru-
ity. The incongzuity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice between
promise and performance, and perhaps
1t might be added that 1t Is always or
almost always moral incongruity. In
the case both of wit and humor there
Is also pleasurable surprise, a gentle
shock which accompanies our percep-
ton of the hitherto unsupported re-
semblance or incongruity. A New
England farmer was once describing
In the presence Of very humane per-
son the great age and debility Of a
horse that he formerly owned and
used. "You ought to have killed him."
