less". New York, Nov. 18. Dispatches
from Ruesia during tbe recent Jew
ish massacres gave only a faint idea
of the atrocities committed against
this race in the land of the czar.
Some of the survivors have written
letters to friends in America de
scribing tbe horrors tbey underwent,
These lettere, coming as they do
from those who witnessed tbe
slaughter of mothers, wives, fathers,
brothers and sisters, te'l with grim
frankness of the fearful scenes wit
nessed during the persecution of the
Jews by the infuriated Russian
mobs.' Extracts from eome of tbe
letters follow. Morris Levinson of
Philadelphia, received this from his
sister at Odessa:
"At the same time our father was
attacked in the street a mob ran in
to our boose and struck mother on
the head with such a blow that she
fell senseless. That was not' enough
for those brutal men. Tbey tortur
ed ber in the most horrible man
ner.
"I was knocked senstles?, . but
tbey left me there elone, thinking,
I suppose, that I was dead. Send
us some money for medicines and
food. If you have not any, beg of
your fellow Jews. Thank God that
you live in a free land, and help us,
who are destined to live like beasts'
The butchery in Grodno is de
scribed in this letter to Aaron Lipp
man, after the same came from bis
brother:
"They burst open their doors and
threw fihfl women and nhiuiran. from
the windows into the streets. One
with her child less than a week old,
waB thrown into the street. Both
were found dead a couple hours la
ter. Abraham Cbalman and Louis
Rappaport were killed while they
were trying to protect their daugh
ters, 16 and 18 years old. They
were tied in their houses to posts
and forced to witness attacks upon
their daughters, after which the
men were killed by having their
heads chopped off.'.'
Aaron Rolhenstein, a cousin of
Abraham and Pauline Chabrow of
No. 342 South Street, wrote-o them
of this Crime. The other woman
was their aunt. His letter ran:
"D ar Cousins: I v.eap like a
child as I write this letter, for a ter
rible calamity bas befallen our fam
ily. Mother was lying in a terrible
condition when the mob entered
our house, and after destroying all
our possessions, se.zed ner and put
her under most horrible tortures.
She was alone in our home and no
one was on hand to defend her.
She gathered her failing strength
and rushed into the street crying
for help. 1 be mob stoned her and
she was instantly killed."
The wife of the Rev. Jacob Chal
fin writes from Kovto:
"Two thousand dead and more
than 5000 wounded are the total
due to Kussian massacres in our
city. Kovno is no longer a city; it
is burned. There is no money in
circulation and in fear of another
attack the people are . quaking.
Write, Dear husband, if your friends
in America cannot do something for
us. for not until a hundred times
what has already been given ar
rives here can the misery be allevi
ated."
Herman Sachs, of Kiev, has
written to Samuel London, one of
tbe organizers of a downtown
'central relief committee:
"A Jewess earned Sarah Gold
man was taken to our hospital with
two spikes seven inches long driven
into her brain. A Jew named Kauf
man was found in the street with
his underlip cut off with a knife, af
ter his tongue and windpipe had
been pulled out with pincers
man named Selsrers was battered,
until be was a raving maniac, and
on a street corner a woman about
to become a mother was tormented
until she died. A carpenter was
surprised at his work and both bis
harjds sawed off with bis own saw."
Echo, Or.,' Nov.' 18. -An "Arctic
hite owl was killed by Henry
Pagley near tbia place yesterday.
This is tbe first owl of this kind
seen in this section for years. Its
coming is said to be tbe sign of ao
unusually bard winter.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 18. Twen
ty-five officers of tbe Guards regi
ment, the most trusted and tbe
most trustworthy of tbe czars
troops, met a committee of social
democrats in an aristocratic resi
dence on the English quay last
night, it has just been learned, and
told of the spread of revolutionary
sentiment among the troops. Many
men and officers are siding with the
wotkingmeu, the officers say, but
node of tbe regiment is yet ready to
desert the government in case of
conflict. .
dispatches from Ponza give only
a contused account ot me Agrarian
disorders in that province. They
speak of a false czar having appear
ed bat give only scanty details of
the number of his followers. An
order has been issued placing that
province and Saratoff under the au
thority, of General bafcharofi.
Carson, Nev., Nov. 17. J. P.
Seven er, Fred Roberts, Al Li n der
ma n and T. S. Gorman were bang
ed here today for the murder of
Jack Welch. The execution took
place within the shoeshop of tbe
state prison and there was no hitch
In the programme, save a delay in
the execution of Gorman and Rob
erts on account of an attempt made
to secure a stay for Roberts, who
had been exculpated in a confes
sion made at tbe last moment by
Gorman. . Tbe board of pardons
refused to intervene, however, and
at 1:23 P. M., Gorman and Robrets
were hanged, Sevener land Linder

Before the drop was made, Gor

Parker was unjustly convicted.

the trap was eprung.
"Good-bye, Roberts, meaning a
Carson attorney; "good-bye, Craig,"
meaning a Reno attorney, shouted
Linderman. Before the echoes had
died away in the old shoeshop the
trap was sprung and the bodies
dropped six feet.
In a moment physicians were at
their sides, and with watches in
hand they counted tbe pulee beats
until life was extinct.
"Gentlemen, the physicians pro
nounce the men dead. Roberts and
Gorman will hang at 12 o'clock."
With this brief announcement
from Warden ConBidine tbe crowd
dissolved and gathered in the open
air to await the execution of the
other men, which waB carried out
with equal dispatch shortly after 1
o'clock.
The crime for which the four
men were convicted was committed

TAMMANY FRAUDS
THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS IN
LAST ELECTION, PROTEST
ED, TO BE COUNTED
FOR HEARST.
A Recount of All the Ballots in
Every District Will Be Neces
sary Other News.
New York. Nov. 18. Thousands
of ballots, protested in the last elec
tion, are now to b9 counted for
Hearet, the municipal ownership
candidate and for District Attorney
Jerome.
Tammany lawyers today surrend
ered this point, recognizing the fu
tility of contesting their claim that
the ballots should, be thrown out.
It is now recognized that a ballot
marked in the circle over the muni
cipal ownership ticket and in the
Jerome circle is clearly intended to
be cast for the entire municipal
ownership ticket, except Clarence
J. Sheard, and for Jerome. This
will make effective all those ballots,
numbering over 8,000, hereto pro
tested as void. The importance of
this decision waB not overlooked by
tbe lawyers retained by Mr. Hearst.
Othei startling developments to
day marked the attempt to ascer
tain the bearing on the election of
the recount of tbe void ballots.
When the day ended it had become
evident that nothing but a recount
of all the ballots in every district in
which protested ballots have not
been plainly marked will he abso
lutely necessary, In 76 protested
ballots under consideration there
was nothing to show for whom they
bad been depoeited.
In speaking of this tonight, Clar
ence J. Shearn, bead of the legal
force acting for Mr. Hearst, said:
"Today's developments only for
tify my contention that there are
impregnable reasons for asking a
recount 01 all the ballots cast in
The fighTrfor
this recount will be begnn in the
courts oa Tuesday, or, if the papers
can bs prepared in time, on Mon-
ay."
New Yoik, Nov. I7. A thief
who entered the Security Storage
Company's warehouse in an ex
press package yesterday was caught
today as he was about to leave the
warehouse hidden in the same pack-
ge, alorg with $7110 worth of stol
en goods. Last night he climbed
out if his package, and, after rif-
ing the warehouse, again repacked
himself and his plunder. When
caught today be said his name waa
John Schmidt, and told tbe story
of his robbery.
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
two packing cases were tikeu to
the company's warehouse at 312
Spring street. Schmidt was in one
of them, which was fitted with
spring locks, so as to be opened
from the inside. With him were a
bottle of whiskey, a set of burglar's
tools and a dark lantern. The oth
er box was used for packing; hie
plunder.
Schmidt emerged last night and
plundered the place, and at 7 o'
clock this morning was safely re
packed with his plundei. But an
employe saw one of the boxes move
unaccountably as it stood alone on
toe noor, and, peeping tnrougn a
knothole in the top, he saw the
burglar's hat. He immediately
smashed tbe packing case open
Five minutes later an expressman
called, asking to remove the two
boxes which contained the burglar
and bis plunder.
The police went with the express
man to meet the man who sent him
after the boxes. This man gave his
name ar Robert Arnold, and was
found waiting at Bowery and Sec
ond avenue. He was arrested.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 18. At
the football game here this after
noon the grand stand, with fully
2ooo people, fell a distance of 15
feet. Cries of agony arose from the
injured. Both the members of the
Michigan and Wisconsin teams im
mediately tore the fence down and
a crowd of people rushed in to help
the injured. Ihe stand went down
so gradually that nundreds on the
lower tiers of seats-had time to
reach the ground. -
No one was. seriously injured
Scores of people, however, were bad
ly bruised and scratched in the
tumbhrjEr. These were hurried to
the dressing rooms and their inju
ries were attended to by doctors off
the ground, aided by the players.,
trainers and rubbers. After a lapse'
of ten minutes, due to the accident,
the teams lined up and play was
resumed.
Chicago, Nov. 17. A dispatch to
the Tribune from El Paso, Tex.,
says: At the bullfight at Cludad
Juarez yesterday, given for the
American Mining Congress, there
was a panic when Felix Robert, the
French Metador, who claims to be
the only metador of that nationali
ty, was tossed in the air and tossed
from the arena bruised and bleed
ing.
Later tbe bull, a ferocious beast
from the ranch of General Luis
Terris, governor of Chihuaharj,
made a run and plunged its long,
sharp horns through Metador Fran
cisco Aloncio Piquero, tossing him
into tbe air first, then dragging
him about the ring, blood stream
ing from the wounds in the man's
body. The spectators sickened at
the sight, and women fainted,
and screamed to be carried out.
The Arena was packed with Amer
icans from every section of the
United States, few of whom had ev
er seen a bullngnt, and tor a time
the situation was serious. Many
men rushed from the sickening
sight in horror, while the women
in many instances were carried out
unconscious.
- Order was finally restored, but
most of the Americans left, decid
ing that they had already seen
enough of the Mexican and Span
ish national sport, although this
was only the second bull up for
slaughter out of the four marked
for the metador's'sword.
Kiel, Nov. 18. The torpedo boat
S-126 collided with the cruiser Un
dine in the maneuvers here this
morning and sunk immediately.
One officer and 32 men are missing.
All are believed to be dead.
The disaster occurred during a
stage of the maneuvers in Kiel bay,
while the torpedo boat division was
making an attack upon the Undine
whose light was covered. Sudden
ly the Undine flashed her search
light upon the smaller craft. Tbe
bright rays of the powerful lamp it
is supposed confused the helmsman
of the torpedo boat and she turned
suddenly under the Undine's bow.
The Undine moving at a fairly rap
id speed struck the small craft
amidships with her bow and an in
stant later the boilers of tbe torpe
do boat exploded, throwing a huge
column of water high in the air,
while mingled with the debris could
be seen the forms of seamen, who
were seen engulfed beneath the
waves. It is believed that every
man missing of tbe 33 was killed or
drowned, as the suddenness of the
shock and tbe accompanying explo
sion of tbe boilers that so quickly
followed gave none of the doomed
men a second's time to escape.
A number of officers who were
thrown clear of the vessel were pick
ed up by boats that hurried to the
scene from vassals lying near,
and
were safely landed, although
suf-
fering from lDjunes.
