Thirty six Sentences to Death Handed Down Throughout Czar's Disturbed
 Empire.
FIVE WERE ONLY ROBBERS
Second Unsuccessful Attempt to As- sassinate P,atigorsk's Chief of Pollce-Seyeral Ex-
 cautions.

St. Petersburg Aug. l9.-The hand ing down of seventeen more sentences of death was reported to-day, making the total for one day, yesterday, throughout the empire thlrty-six, and constituting a sinister record.
 One sentence was signed at Khar- koy, two at saratov three at Kiev, seven at Warsaw, five at Wilma. five at Piusk and thirteen at Lodz, The two men sentenced at Saratov were sailors attached to the Black fleet, who had been found guilty in taking the lead in an attempt to pillage an estate. The three men at Kiev were found guilty of attempting to murder q for ester; the five Warsaw men of rob- bery accompanied with violence, and the ten men at Lodz were condemned to death for an armed attack on a railroad train Tho dispatches do not mention the reasons for the Khartov and Piusk sentences.
 There were two executions yester- day at Warsaw, one at riffs, and sev- eral at St. Petersburg. The news papers have ceased to publish statis- tics of this kind in order to maintain their circulation in the provincial elt- ies, where the publication of death sentences Is prohibited. This regula- ton does not apply to St, Petersburg or Moscow, but even so the papers. because of their out-of-town circula- ton, have eliminated any reference to these matters.
 A second unsuccessful attempt was made yesterday evening to assassinate the chief of police of Pyatigorsk, M. von Oglio, Three men emptled their revovers at the chief, but failed to hit him The police shot down one of the revolutionlsts, but the other two escaped,

WARNING TO POINT Another Man Points Out Dan- ger of Defeat to the
 Machine.
NOW couRTIne DEFEAT
Suggestion Again Made That Woodruff Run on an Independent
 Ticket.
New Haven, Aug. 1s, 'oS.

NcW IldNSH, hu6' 10, Vo.
 Editor of the Journal Courier.
 The "A warning" in this mornings Courier is to the point the Common people" Republicans and democrats combined, prefer Governor Woodruff to any other man for our next gover- nor. It seems a very small number of men, the machine" so called, dic- tate to us all who we may vote for. Governor Woodruff has been tried and not found wanting" and he of all men now talked of for the next gov ernor of Connecticut should receive the nomination. As "Realvest' states, If the democrats have respectable nominee" etc. Why not have a peo- ple's ticket and run Governor Wood- ruff in case the machine refuses to put him in nomination. There arc enough voters, republican and demo- crat, in Connecticut to give the gov- ernor handsome majority over all. We are tired of this machine way of doing and now let the voters get together and outvote that bunch. The writer has known Rollin Woodruff since he was fellow drummer on the

road and no man lives who is more upright and square than hs He has surprised us all as when his name was first mentioned for governor of Connecticut we thought 1t was jn- tended more of joke than serious. but time proved he was the man for the place and by his many and noble acts he has proved himself "one of the best" if not the very best gover- nor Connecticut ever had. We know what he has done and we can depend upon him to make good all of his promises. Then why take chance with an unknown quantity. One of the other two men mentioned is certainly not worthy of the exalted position of governor of Connecticut If the news- papers about the country are to be relied upon. From all of the reports of his foolish "boy play last winter In Washington the Common people" and the writer is one of that number, cannot understand why the machine us to vote the ticket in case that party Is at the head
 The old and steadfast Journal Courier is to be congratulated I re- fer to the strong arguments put out by the Courier In favor of Governor Woodruff. If any one has any doubt about how the common people feel in regard to Governor Woodruff, let them look over the list of New Ha- ven business men who signed the sheet calling the attention of the peo- pie in Connecticut to the fact that they wanted Governor Woodruff 10 succeed himself, A long list of our representative business men, whole sale and retail merchants all over the city, also bankers, brokers and busi- ness people generally. Let the ma chine take care before they have gone too far and lose the election this fall The writer sincerely hopes to have the pleasure to again vote for Gover- nor Woodruff of Connecticut at this falls election.
 Yours truly,

A mining journal published at Scranton has been calling attention to the curious fact that in coal mining communities there is q marked deficien- cy in the mortality from tuberculosis as compared with that of other localities.
