ALLENSTEIN VICTORY
GROWS GREATER
Germans Declare 10000 Russians Cap
tured, Including Two Commanding
Generals and 900 0fficers.

Washington. D. c., Sept. "A German
victory at Allenstein in which three
Russian army corps were defeated and
10000 prisoners, including two Russian
commanding generals, were taken, was
reported Yesterday to the German en-
bassy from Berlin by wireless via say.
Vile, L. l. The dispatch says:
"Official report of the victory at Al
lenstein shows that it was even greater
than known before. Three Russian army
corps were annihilatcd. Seventy thou
sand prisoners we're taken, including two
commanding generals, 800 officers, and
the complete artillery of the Russian
army.
sIn the west, Gen. Won kluk, it is re-
ported, against the French lanking at
tempt, advanced to Combles.'
Here part of the message could not be
clearly deoipheredl
Gen. Won Buelow completely defeated
a superior French force near st. Quentin,
after having captured an English infan-
try battalion. Gen. Won Hausen forced
back the French upon the river at Rethel.
'The duke of Wuertermburg crossed
the Meuse river, also advancing upon
Aisne. Ehe crown prince advanced be-
yond the Meuse soon after capturing the
entire garrison of Montmedy, which tried
to sortie. The fortress also was cap
tured. The crown prince of Bavaria and
Gen. Won Heeringen have been in con-
tinuous battle in French Lorraine.
"To.day, Sedan day, was celebrated
here with jubilation because of the VIC
torious news which arrived from the
east and west last night. The Russian
defeat at 0rtelsburg recalls Sedan by
the huge number of prisoners taken.
"The Brazilian military attaehe at
Berlin writes that the German victory
did not come as a surprise to those who
witnessed their manmuyres in peace and
declares that the effect OF the krupps
heavy artillery is astounding.
THE Times correspondent at Amiens
reports that: The Germans came over
us like a flood raised by storm. Dur
ing the first month of the war more than
3 900 600 German volunteers came for
ward. The chief of the German sanitary
department officially declared there are
many proofs that the English and French
are using dum-dum cartridges.
"The state of health of the German
army is good, noted hygienists accom-
panying the army"

KILLED BY STREET CAR.
James E. Fallon, Aged 81, Victim at
Quincy, Mass, Last Night.

Quincy, Mass, Sept. flames f. Fal-
Ion, aged 54, of "a Miller street, West
Quincy, was instantly killed by an cleo
trio car on Copeland street near Hose
3 and Ladder 3 at $3.50 last night.
Women passengers on the car became
hysterical over the accident.
The car was the second of two which
were going toward East Milton and was
in charge of Conductor Oscar Savoie and
Motorman Charles Watts.
Mr.. Fallon had waited for the first car
to pass, but the noise of a passing stone
team probably deadened the sound Of
the second, and his poor sight probably
prevented him from seeing it.
After the first car had gone by, he
stepped from the curbstone and walked
directly in front of the second car. Mo-
torman Watts said the man started in
front of his car so quickly that it was
impossible to avoid hitting him.
The car had to be lacked up to get the
body out. Rev. William j. Duffy of st.
Mary's church ran to the scene TO admin
lister the last rites of the Catholic church,
but Mr.. Fallon was dead when taken
from under the car.
Motorman Watts was arrested on a
charge of manslsughter and was bailed
out by Supt. Thomas Cannon of the
Bay State Street Railway company. The
bail was placed at $1,000. Mr.. Watts
has been motorman in this city for Is
years and was railrosding Is years be-
fore coming to Quincy.
Mr.. Fallon was a brother of eX-Rep-
resentative Peter T. Fallon of West
Quincy.

FRENCH TROOPS RETIRED

OF ROCK 20 FEET
KILLED QUARRYMAN
Thomas Truba, Victim at Boutwell,, Milne
g. varnum Quarry, Was in Quarry
Pit When Grout Box, Heavily
Loaded, Was Being Raised.

Thomas Truba, youthful quarryman
employed by Boutwell,, Milne 4 Vsrnum
in Graniteville, met death yesterday
when a stone, catapulted down dist9
OF 20 feet from grout box suspend, ~
the air, struck him on the head. De a
ensued less than half-hour afterwards,
The accident occurred on quarry No. i |.
Truba lost consciousness at once and the
measures applied by DR.. Z. II. Bailey,
who hurried to the quarry, were of no
avail The body was taken in Whit
combs ambulance TO East Barre, where
preparations were made for burial. The
funeral will probably be held tomorrow
morning.
Truba and his cousin, Antonio Perez,
were at the bottom OF the pit. One OF
the heavy steel grout boxes operated on
the scoop plan was before them and the
box itself was heaped to the brim with
loose stones when Perez gave the signal
to the derrick boy on the quarry brink.
Slowly the heavily laden box started
skyward and as it cleared their heads,
Truba and Perez withdrew distance
of perhaps 20 feet. Had they gone dis
tance of 90 feet farther in the same di-
rection, safety in a protecting cavern un-
der the quarry wall would have been
theirs. II was when the big box had
been hoisted to an altitude of some 20
feet that the topmost stone was seen
toppling over the side. Someone shout
ed, but the warning fell short of carry
ing to Trlba or Perez. Half way to the
bottom of the quarry, the stone struck
projecting ledge, its course was shifted
and before any of Truba's fellow work
men could realize what had happened he
was living insensible on the rocks. Perez
was standing only short distance away
when the stone felled his cousin by graz
ing him on the back of the head. Truba
was rushed to the surface, but it was
evident from a glance that the blow had
been fatal.
The young man would have been 81
years of age had he lived until next
April. He had been employed by Bout
well, Milne & Varnum for several months
and he had been in America some time.
His parents live in the town of his birth,
Santander, Spain, district whence hum
dreds of the mans countrymen have emf
grated to the Barre granite belt. Sur
viving also is q brother, who is employed
on the quarry where the accident oc-
Cured Truba leaves three sisters and
two brothers in Santander. He was a
companionable young man and compa
triots with whom he had become ac-
qusinted since coming to Graniteyille are
deeply affected by his death.

 LiVing at Too
 Great Speed

By the Rev. JOSEPH ANDERSON. Oldest
 Aumnas of College City of New York \. E are living at too great speed, w and all great centers of hu-
 manity are inclined to do the same thing. London has been doing 1t for forty years, but NEW YORK IS WORSE, and New York stands for the American nation.
 HURRY IS ONLY A CONDITION OF MIND. AND WE ONLY HURRY BECAUSE WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE HURRIED AND, IN DOING so, ARE LIKELY TO GIVE NO THoueHT-To THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WE TURN OUT OR ARE ENGAGED IN. THE ANXIETY AND THE DESIRE TO oUTDo THE MAN ALONGSIDE OF US IN THE MATTER OF TIME AND SPEED OPEN THE DOOR TO TEMPTA- TON. THE TEMPTATION o F BRIBERY APPEARS, AND WE ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE TEMP EATON TO USE UNFAIR MEANS IN COMPETITION IN ORDER TO FORGE AHEAD.

 AUCTIONING OFF OF NEW HAVEN R.R.
Governor Declares 1t Is Judg- ment That Dissolution Plan Threatens Manufacturers.

Waterbury, Conn, March 20-Feder- al proceedings against the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R.. in their present aspect, were condemned as too drastic by Gov. Baldwin of Con- necticut last night in an address be- fore the Chamber of Commerce.. He also said that the proposed board for Interstate trade regulation looked to him as a serious menace to the pros perity of the misunderstanding inter terests of Connecticut.
 He advised business organizations to ex xamine the trade regulation bill with extreme care. The present plight of the New Haven road took up the at tention of all the evenings speakers
 Gov. Baldwin. after touching upon the states development by reason of a great transportation system, said that it looked to him as if that sys- tenn was to be lost.
 LIFE BLOOD OF STATE
 Unless we can keep our transpor- fation service good, ? he said, I've can not keep our trade prosperous The railroads are the life blood of the state. IA great transportation system, dominated by one strong man, is all ways in some danger. His death may disarrange it.
 stJ Pierpont Morgan, 9 son of Con- neeticut. bore such a relation to the New York, New Haven & Hartford R R. He largely shaped it's policies and directed it's finances. His death un- shipped the rudder. The boat swung around. It is now lying in the trough Of the sea The waves are breaking over it; the waves of financial disor- Eder.
 .I do not think the chances of safe ty are being improved by the proceed- ings which are going on at the attor- ney- generals office in Washington. The federal authorities seem to me to be asking too much.
 PLENTY OF TIME NEEDED.
