ST. PETERSBURG. April 21.--
News was received this afternoon to
the effect that Persian brigands who
yesterday advanced to attack the
Russian forces in Persian territory,
we're driven back with heavy losses
and retired to the mountains. A
Russian detachment from Belesuvar
has again advanced short distance
into Persian territory, where 1t Is
waiting for reinforcements. There Is
no sign yet of the heralded Persian
expedition to aid the Russians. It
seems that the Persian troops quar-
tered at Tabriz are barely adequate
to preserve order in that city. They
are said to be Ill disciplined and the
governor of Tabriz is afraid to send
them. out against the mountaineers.

Meet Dealh on Railroad

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb 22.--Sayed
from drowning after terrible strug-
gle in the icy water of the Monon-
gahela river at Elizabeth, Pa, near
here, only to be run down and killed
by a train on reaching shore, was
the fate last night of j. w. Dranar
and F. B. Garrett, two government
employees at lock No 3. G. E. Stoner,
a companion, who saved the men
from the water, also was hit by the
train and probably fatally injured.
The men had quit work for the fay
and when Draper slipped from the
lock into the river Garrett plunged
into the river after him. Eventual
ly Stoner rescued both men by the
aid of a boat hook. Then all three
started to walk along the Pittsbure.
Virginia and Charleston railroad
tracks to Elizabeth. The approach
of a fast train was unnoticed and
the men were hurled into the air.
The bodies of Draper and Garrett
were horribly mutilated while
Stoner's shoulder blade was broken
and his head badly cut.

Life Sentence

Toulon, Feb. 22.--Charles B. I'LL
mo, an ensign in the French navy
has been found guilty by a court
martial of attempting to sell naval

Ion on October -, on the charge of

forwards arrested at yendome on SIM

that Ullmo had offered to sell infor-
nation concerning the defenses of
France to German agent.
Ullmo made a partial confession
TO the charges brought against him.
and as result the French authori-
ties decided to order the reconstruc-
tion OF the French naval tactics.
