REVOLVING RoUMANIAN PEAS
ANTS MET WITH DEADLY FIRE.
Many Women Fight With Insurgents
and Their Mangled Bodies
Writhe In the Dust.

Bucharest, Roumania.-Filed guns
loaded with grapeshot, according to
the official reports, are winning against
the revolutionary peasantry, whose
arms are mostly hay forks and scythe
blades. The insurgents were able to
hold their own against the troops at
close quarters, and even withstood
cavalry charges, doing terrible execu-
tion with long-pronged forks and
scythe blades strapped to long poles,
but the slaughter since the troops be-
gan using artillery appears to be terri
Tying them into submission.
In the district Of Vashica, where the
outbreay was particularly serious,
large numbers of insurgents have sur
rendered and have denounced their
leaders to the authorities, with the re-
suit that manw of the latter have been
arrested. The government hopes that
with the leaders in Jail the undisci-
plined bands will soon abandon the
field.
The selfstyled generals" usually
turn out TO be country schoolmasters
and village priests. Many women are
fighting in the insurgent ranks. and
some of them have been found among
the killed. side by side with their hus-
bands, sons and brothers.
Details of the attack made by the
peasants on Galatz show that pitched
battle was fought. The insurgents.
who were several thousand strong,
commenced the assault-at midnight, car
ried the outer earthworks by storm
and captured suburb, which they set
on FIRE after pillaging IL. Three bat
talions of infantry attempted TO stem
the peasants entry into the city itself.
but the fork and scythe rustics fought
desperately, hand In hand. and had al
most routed the troops when the gov
ernment ordered field guns, loaded
with grapeshot, to be fired at the in
surgents. who wavored and then fled.
The fire Of the guns wrought great
havoc upon the retreating masses.
A number OF conflicts between
troops and mnrauders continues TO be
reported. Two thousand insurgents nt
Gorj are said TO have been quieted by
the assurances OF the authorities with
out resort TO force. One hundred and
fifty more rioters have been wounded
ut Balleschtchi. several OF them killed
and many arrested. Artillery was
used at Cacuesu, Naloelele and else
where. and in some instances whole
villages are said to have been utterly
destroyed by the fire Of nine'ineh
shells.
Although the disorders are diving
down In some districts. the agitation Is
spreading in the provinces adjacent TO
the Carpathian mountains, which hith'
crto have been quiet. Much plunder-
ing and incendiarism has taken place
among the farms and In Isolated ham
let's. Troops are In active pursuit OF
the marauders.
With the object OF preventing so far
as possible the determination OF troops
and peasants belonging TO the same
districts, and also the possibility of
fighting between relatives belonging to
the opposing forces In the revolutionary
districts. the Moldayian troops belong
ing TO the Fourth army corps have
been transferred 10 Wallaehia. while
the walalehinn troops attached 10 the
First army corps have been retailed
for duty In Maldhyia.

One reason why stamps in the fu-
ture will bear the names Of the cities
whence they are issued is the difficult
ty thus put in the way of stamp
thieves. At present stamps consti"
tute one of the most readily negotiable
forms OF plunder obtainable owing, of
course, TO the universal use of postage
stamps and the consequent difficulty
OF tracing ownership. Even when
nearly 100000 worth of stamps were
stolen from the Chicago post office 1t
was impossible to get clews for detect
ing the criminal. The United States
IS not the first country TO place the
names of the cities OF issue on the
stamps. Mexico has done II for years.
Liberia has the names Of FIVE princi.
pal towns on the stamps designed for
their respective use. But no nation
hitherto has entered upon the plan
10 the extent proposed at Washington.
Fully 5000 cities will be provided
with distinctive stamps. In the case OF
&c Of the largest cities the name OF
the respective city and state will be
engraved as part of the basic design
of the stamp. whereas in the case OF
the thousands of smaller cities the
name will in each instance be printed
across the faces of the stamps after
they have been impressed in the rogu.

FIRST PROTEST UNDER NEW LAW
Minnesota Shipper Calls Upon New
Colorado Railroad Commission.

Denver.-The first protest under the
new railway rate law has been filed
with Governor Buchtel, and will be
taken up by the commission as soon
as il is organized for business.
The protest comes from man at
Cass Lake, Minnesota, whose name is
withheld, as the governor decided II
would not be advisable to disclose the
identity of the shipper in case u.
this kind 1t has not been decided
whether this will be permanent pol
icy Of the board.
The Denver & Rio Grande is the
railway against which the first com
plaint is lodged. In his communica-
ton to Governor Buchtel the shipper
says he was charged s1.30 on 1870
pounds Of honey from Delta to Pueblo.
when the rate from Grand Junction to
Minneapolis for this consignment as
per schedule, was only s1.77 per 100
pounds.
The shipper says he demonstrated
with the road. but could get no re-
dress, and asks the governor to In
vestgate the matter. His letter fol-

COLORADO NEWS ITEMS
To Stop All Political Fusior.

A bill that has passed on the second
reading in the Senate, and which bids
fair to get through on final reading, cal.
culated to prohibit fusion of any kind
in elections, is creating considerable
stir among the lawmakers.
This bill, which was introduced by
Representative Watson, prohibits the
appearance on the ballot of any name
on more than one ticket, and provides
that If candidate should be named by
two parties, the votes shall not be
cumulative. For instance, II candi-
date for sheriff on the Republican
ticket should be named for the same
position by an Independent, Prohibit
tion or other party. the votes cast by
each party would not be added to OBJ
tain his vote, but he would have to
stand or lose on the vote on any one
ticket.

THE POLICE COURT.
Frank Dances Wife Would Not Tes-
 tify Against Him.

Frank Dance was arrested last ev- ening on a charge for non-support of his wife since August After he was released on bail he went to his wife S home and beat her. In the city court to-day they sat side by side appar- ently the best of friends. Mrs Dance denied that she had ever complained to Prosecutor Meigs that her husband had failed to support her. So the complaint had to be nolled and one for assault will be issued. Ephraim Udelowitz was charged with breach of the peace, but seemingly Ephraim was in no hurry to get to court and as the court would not wait for him the case went over. Udelowitz, who conducts a clothing store ana shoe store at S10 Bank street, and Samuel Glickman, proprietor of a gents fur nishing establishment at 627 South Main street. were arrested by Detec- tive Dodds and Officer Gabriel. They are charged with violation of the Sunday law. The ywere locked up. but later released under bonds oi S2O0. Garret Henebry pleaded guilty to keepingan unregistered dog and he was put on probation to pay a fine of s5 and costs.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Case of James Enright Being Heard
 To-Day.


 Judge Curtis began business in the superior court to-day without jury and for the rest of the month he will be on court cases. Any one who is anxious to have his case heard now is the time for him to get after his law yer for a chance to get cases on the trial list will not be had again this year probably.
 The case before the court to-day was that of James Enright against the Tracy Bros company for dam- ages of 5000. Enright is young man of 27 years, strong and robust employ of the Austin & Woodruff Co employ of the Austin& Woodruff O. painters. He was at work on a stag. ing in the box shop on South Leonard street on the afternoon of December 13, 1905, when some one in the em- ploy of the Tracy Brothers company who was at work in the plant also happened by the staging on which Enright was at work and knocked against its support, throwing down the whole business and precipitating Enright to the cellar a distance of three stories. His left leg was frac- tured at the femur and amputation was necessary. He was laid up at his home for four weeks, eight weeks more in the Waterbury hospital where the leg was removed and four weeks more at his home.
