M. Stolypin. the prime minister OF
Russia. was shot down in the munich
pal theatre at Kief last Thursday night
by a lawyer named Bogroff. There
was a special performance on In the
theatre and the cZar was present with
many of his councillors. Precautions
had been taken to keep out anarchists
and other enemies of the government,
and many prominent Russians VINO
would have been glad to get admission
were excluded. While the play was In
progress, the assassin, who had been
occupying a rear seat, advanced TO
where Stolypin was and began firing.
Stolypin was hit twice, once in the
breast and once in the wrist. AS soon
as he realized what had happened, he
arose, faced the car and made the
sign of the cross. The czar, 1t Is said,
grasped the situation instantly and to
prevent a panic instructed that the or.
chestra be- told to play the national
air. This was done instantly, and the
uproar did not develop. Bogron was
captured Immediately after he mad
fired the shots. A Gordon OF soldiers
was thrown around the theatre, and
the people were examined as they
passed out one by one. At first it was
given out that Stolypin would certain
" recover; but there was q change Tor
the worse on Saturday, and on yester-
day he died.
-Catania, September Is: Although
the eruption Of Mount Etna seems to
be losing something Of its activity,
and the earthquakes are less frequent
in occurrence, the immense flood OF
lava which has spread down the
mountain continues its work OF de-
struction. There are now five main
streams stretching for miles over the
country. Professor Ricco, director 3f
the observatory, who has spent TWO
days in the top Of Mount Etna max
ing observations returned to the op-
servatory yesterday. He said the ini-
tial speed of the lava at the mouth Of
the crater has slightly diminished,
but that material is still being poured
out in perhaps as great quantity as
on the first few days. Several cones
have formed near the new craters
varying from 65 to 100 feet in height.
Monsignor Arista, bishop of Acireate,
who came here at the beginning OF
the outbreak, continues his work OF
comforting and assisting the peasants.
A great procession. bearing a statue
OF Christ. marched in front Of the ad-
vancing lava, and offered prayers for
the immediate cessation of the flow.
Hundreds proceeded to the home OF
a blacksmith, where 1t is said, mira
Gle occurred. The lava had passed
around this house and the peasants
believed this was due to picture of a
saint hanging on the door, but this
afternoon the lava stream again turn
ed, completely destroying the black
smiths home.
New York, September II: The
cotton goods markets were stronger
and little more active during the last
week. OF the 100000 pieces Of print
cloths sold at Fall River, half were
for future deliveries and advances of
/ lie cents were paid on narrow
cloths. There were sales Of from 5000
to 5000 bales Of heavy and light
weight sheetings for delivery to China
in October, November and December,
and other business pending. Prices
on heavy weights for exports have
been established on basis of cents
for sheetings and ga cents for 40
sheetings. The price revision on ging-
hams has been followed by very gen.
eral ordering for future delivery on
staples and dress styles. There has
been a further revision on fine printed
batistes for spring delivery, this time
a reduction Of IA cent a yard to a
basis of "A cents being made by one
of the large western houses. The cut
has been met on eastern markets and
1t is now contended that these cloths
are being offered below cost for long
future shipment. Jobbers are appar-
emily satisfied that cotton is not to fall
to the low levels anticipated a month
ago. Yarns are steadier and there is
more business being placed for future
delivery Staple prints, percales and
low priced print goods generally are
in broader demand. Mills are resum-
ing operations and there are many in
dications that the radical price reVi-
sion is stimulating trade.
The coroner's jury is still making
it's investigations in the Myrtle Haw-
kins case at Hendersonville, n. c. The
case was re-opened last Friday after
noon and q lot of new testimony was
taken. The most sensational tale was
that of Robert Waddell, farm hand in
the employ Of the McCalls. His story
was to the effect that number of peo-
pie were at Mrs. McCalrs Wednesday
night previous to the finding of the
body on the following Sunday, and that
he was sent away from home. On his
return he was awake to a late hour,
and he heard voices at the bridge near
the house, and the noise of vehicle.
Some gunny sacks of which he had
charge in the barn had disappeared a
day or two later, and he afterward
found them in another place. He no
ticed also a horrible stencil. The sug-
gestion was that the human body had
remained in the building until morti-
fication had set in. He also told of a
plank missing from the barn, the in
ference that the plank had been used
to carry the body on. Others who We're
present at the Mccall house that night
contradicted the farm hands story in
toto. The main feature of the first ses-
sion of the reopen inquest was the pro-
duction of a letter found in Myrtle's
