MAD MULLAH LOST 1000 MEN
Rebel Forces Annihilated By British
Troops In Somaliland.
London, Jan. 12.—The war office
gave-out the following dispatch which
had been received from Majofiieneral
Egerton, commanding the Somaliland
expeditionary force, and which is dat-
ed from Jidballi, Somaliland, January
11:
“Advanced this morning 12 miles to
Jidballi. First Brigade commanded by
Manning, Second Brigade under Fas-
kins, and mounted troops under Kenna.
Total strength of the regulars 2200;
irregulars 1000.
“Jidballi held by 5000 Dervishes.
Mounted troops enveloped enemy’s
right and infantry advanced within 700
yards of his position. Dervishes ad-
vanced, but were unable to face fron-
tal fire, coupled with flank attack.
Enemy broke and fled and was pur-
sued 10 miles. Dervishes killed esti-
mated at 1000, mostly in the pursuit.
Many prisoners and 400 rifles taken.
“I regret to report that two officers
of regulars were killed and nine offi-
cers wounded; five of the rank and
file wounded; of native troops, seven
killed and 16 wounded; of irregulars
two killed and two wounded. Am in-
clinéd to think this is the Mullah’s
main force. The Mullah himself was
not present, but was expected at Jid-
balli.”
COASTERS HIT BY TROLLEY CAR
Eight Young Persons Seriously In-
jured at Newark, N. J.
Newark, N. J., Jan. 13,—A bob sled
laden with 15 young persons was hit
by a trolley car at the intersection of
‘Washington and Court streets. All
on the big sled were more or less in-
jured. Eight were seriously hurt. Of
these five were taken to hospitals and
three of them went home.
The most seriously injured are: Fred
Lessner, aged 16, right foot crushed
and head injured; Henry Shaffer, 10
years old, skull fractured; Peter
Smith, aged 18, head crushed, not like-
ly. to recover; John Boyd, aged 18,
scalp torn; Margaret McHugh, aged
15, right leg broken and also badly
bruised.
The car was on the Kinney street
line. Charles Pettigrew was conductor
and Michael Mulvihill motorman. It is
charged that an attempt was made
to cross ahead of the sled. Lessner
was steering the sled. Lessner at-
tempted, it is claimed, to swing around
the corner, but the momentum was
too. great, and he could not turn
squarely. The front sled was on the
car track when the collision took
place. All 15 persons on the bob were
thrown out. Lessner was pitched for-
ward and fell under the car.
SLAIN PLAYING SOLDIERS
Little Brother and Sister Killed By a
Girl. With a Gun.
Corry, Pa., Jan. 11.—“We’ll play sol-
diers, and Pearl, with papa’s gun, will
be the captain,” said a little brother
of Pearl, the 13-year-old daughter of
Fletcher Sparting, at Blue Eye, a ham-
let eight miles from here. To this
childish suggestion there was a ready
assent all around, and two children’s
lives have paid the penalty of “playing
soldiers.”
The father had returned from a
hunting trip and had set his gun up
near the spot where the children were
‘at play. One of them, as quoted, pro-
posed that they would play soldiers,
and Pearl picked up the gun, gave a
command to “halt” and pulled the trig-
"ger, with terrible results.
Her little brother, in the lead, was
killed almost Thstamly, his head being
“blown off. . :
“His next younger sister, directly be-
hind him, had an arm torn off and was
so badly injured that she died soon
afterward, and a still younger sister
was injured, but will live.
Pearl is heart-broken, and claims
she did not know that her father had
" eft a charge in the gun.
DEMOCRATS CHOOSE ST. LOUIS
National Convention Will Meet There
Wednesday, July 6.
“Washington, Jan. 13.—The Demo-
cratic national! committee furnished a
surprise, selecting St. Louis as the
.. lace for’ holding the national conven-
“ tioh of" 1904." The date fixed for the
convention: was. Wednesday, July 6,
at 12 o'clock.
. Previous to the meeting. of the com-
mittee. it seemed a.foregone conclu-
sion that Chicago would: ‘be selected
as. the place. of meeting, but political
exigencies entered into the situation,
and a majority of the committee voted
fot. St. Louis.’ For some hours previous
to the meeting of the committee there
. ‘was talk in the corridors and among
., and ex-governor of Ohio, Charles Fos-
‘ter,’ was. held here, the services be-:
ing. conducted at the Methodist Epis--
' copal church, in the presence of a:
large congregation, including many:
distinguished ‘men of Ohio and other:

‘Déniocratic leaders that ‘the conven-
tion in Chicago might be subject to

Mabel Bechtel's Lover Acquitted.
David Weisenberq Freed and Alois Eckstein Called
For Triai—Family Await Their Ordeal.
Auentown, Pa. Jan. 13.—The series
of trials to fix the responsibility for
the murder in October last of Mabel
Bechtel, the pretty 21-year-old silk mill
girl of this city, was begun before
Judge Trexler, in the Lehigh county
court, and before adjournment had
been taken, one of the accused, David
Weisenberger, one of the lovers of the
unfortunate girl, was formally arraign-
ed and acquitted of the murder charge.
Alois Eckstein, Mabel Bechtel’s fiance,
also charged with complicity in the
crime, was called to the bar of the
court, and the slow work of selecting
a jury to try him was in progress when
court adjourned.
After Eckstein’s case is disposed of
the aged mother of the dead girl, Myr-
tha, the 17-year-old daughter, and the
two sons, Charles and John, will be
tried for complicity in the sensational
crime. Thomas Bechtel, who was ar-
rested a few days after the murder
was discovered, along with the above
named persons, committed suicide in
his cell the day after he was ar-
rested.
Never in the history of the county
bar has there been so much interest
displayed in a trial as there is in the
present series of trials. A great
crowd was in attendanceall day wait-
ing for the now celebrated case to
start. Weisenberger was to have been
arraigned early in the day, but the
whole proceeding was blocked by the
trial of Eugene Bloch, accused of the
murder of a womar named Katie
Fatzinger. Immediately after the jury
in this case had solemnly filed out of
the crowded court room to consider
Bloch’s guilt or innocence, District At-
torney Lichtenwalner called Weisen--
berger to the bar. No time was lost
In securing a jury, and while the names
of the talesmen were being called,
Eckstein and members of his family
entered the court room. Mrs. Bechtel
and her three accused children, ac-
companied by her two married daugh-
ters, did not arrive until Eckstein had
been called to face the court.
The jury selected to try Weisen-
berger, all of whom were drawn with-
out challenge, were Irwin Dietz, Mar-
cus Diefenderfer, David Wanamaker,
Irwin J. Bruch, Oliver F. Kerne,
Charles Sell, Frank Houck, Stephen B.
Murray, Robert Fenstermaker, James
Jacoby, William Blose and Milton H.
Walt. Weisenberger was called to the
bar and pleaded not guilty to the
charge of accessory before and after
the fact. With this formality over, the
district attorney announced that the
commonwealth at this time had no evi-
dence to convict the defendant, and
asked that the jury render a verdict
of not guilty. Judge Trexler instructed
the jurymen accordingly, and Weisen-
berger was freed.
Without the loss of a minute, Eck-
stein’s case was called, and the bat-
tle between the commonwealth’s at-
torney;;and the defendant's counsel
Eckstein’s attorneys are
former State Senator Harry G. Stiles
and C. A. Groman. The charges
against Eckstein are similar to those
lodged against his rival for the love of
Mabel Bechtel. That the case will
be stubbornly fought is indicated by
the fact that out of the 34 men called
to serve as jurors,.26 were excused or
challenged. The eight men selected
are Lewis H. Peters, Chester Fritz,
Samuel A. Rabenold, Charles Heil,
John S. Mosser, John ‘F. Miller, Lewis
A. Rex and William Krum.
Bloch Convicted of Murder.
Allentown, Pa., Jan. 13. — Eugene
Bloch was found ‘guilty of murder in
the first degree in the killing of Mrs.
Katie Fatzinger at her apartments on
August 6 last, by cutting her throat |
with his razor, at which time Bloch
also made a desperate attempt at sui-
cide by cutting his throat and wrists.
The defense was that there was a mu-
tual agreement of suicide, and that |
Mrs. Fatzinger cut her throat herself.
A motion for a new trial will be made
later on.
ASA S. BUSHNELL STRICKEN
Former Governor of Ohio Suffers Two
Strokes of Apoplexy.
Columbus, O., Jan. 12.—Former Gov-

with apoplexy just as he arrived at

siclan’s office and then to Grant Hos:
pital. Mr. Bushnell’s former physi-
cian, Dr. Starling Loving, was sum-.
moned.

ond stroke and is unable to speak or
move, but can recognize his family.
His condition is such: that the end is
expected momentarily.

Japan's Auswer to Russia Ready.
Believed It is so Worded as to Prevent Immediate
Rupture— War Would be a Long One.
Tokio, Jan. 13.—The final conference
before the throne to decide upon the
response to Russia has been held. It
was attended by all the members of
i the cabinet, five of the elder states-
men, Admirals Ito and Ijuin and Gen-
eral Kodama. The conference was of
long duration and its result is un-
known. It is said, however, that the
response which was drafted was ap-
proved, and that it will soon be de-
livered to Baron de Rosen, the Rus-
sian minister.
This answer of Japan is regarded
as the final step in the negotiations.
Public interest in the outcome is at
fever heat, and developments are anx-
iously awaited. :
St. Petersburg, Jan. 13.—Mr. Kurino,
the Japanese minister, in an interview,
declared that if war should come he
believed it would be a prolonged one.
It was difficult now to see how it could
be decisive, he said, considered solely
from a military point of view. “The
majority of the people of Russia,”
added the minister, “and many per-
sons abroad, have underestimated Ja-
pan’s strength, the idea prevailing in’
some otherwise well-informed quarters
that Japan would be unable to put
more than 200,000 soldiers in the field.
This idea is entirely erroneous.”
Minister Kurino said he still was
hopeful of peace, but was confident
that if necessary the Japanese army
of more than 600,000 men would give
a good account of itself and do credit
to Japan’s military system and system
of compulsory education. He pointed
out that Japan’s coast defenses were
so strong that General Kurepatkin, the
Russian minister of war, had freely
admitted that even a coalition of the
powers would be unable to effect a
landing on Japanese soil.
The opinion prevailing abroad that
the termination of negotiations would
necessarily mean war is not held
strongly here, as Russia has never de-
clared what she intends to do. :
If Japan occupies Corea the belief
sia would not risk a naval engage-
ment, but would occupy Northern
Corea, Japan meanwhile possibly en-
trenching herself on the southern
slope of Gonsan, 115 miles northeast
of Seoul. While this is merely specu-
lated on in diplomatic circles, it is
given as one of the reasons for be-
lieving that even in the event of the
failure of the present negotiations the
desire of both sides to avoid the odium
of an attack might lead to a final de-
basis of the territory occupied.
Japan’s reply is expected in two or
three days, according to reliable in-
formation received here, and. there is
good reason for believing that the
reply willl be so worded ag to prevent
an immediate rupture, leaving both
governments in a position to continue
negotiations looking to a pacific sat
_tlement.
Gen. J. B. Gordon “Dena.
Confederate Leader Passes Away at Winter Home in
Florida. Succumbed to Attack of. Congestion of
the Stomach After a Short Illness. Will Be Buried
at Atlanta, Ga. Brief Sketch of His Career.
ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 11.—Lieutenant
General John Brown Gordon died at his
winter home near Miami Florida. His
fatal illness, which overtook him last Wed-
nesday, was conjestion of the stomach and
liver, following an acute attack of indiges-
tion, to which he was subject. General
Gordon had been unconscious nearly all
day. The beginning of the end occurred
when serious compitcations set in and his
physicians bad abandoned all hope, as his
kidneys refused to vecrete and the symp-
toms of uraemio poisoning were very decid-
ed. His death was quiet. He fell peace-
fally to sleep and all was over. ¥
General Gordon's remains will reach this
:city tomorrow. Definite arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made, bat it
is stated that the body will lie in state in
the state house for several days preceding
the funeral, the family of the deceased
chieftain having agreed to the request that
the former followers of General Gordon
may view his remains.
Terrell and the relatives of General Gordon
it was decided to hold the funeral exercises
in the House of Representatives, when, in
conjunction with the religious exeroises,
speakers prominent throughont the south
and veterans of the Confederate army will
deliver eunlogies.
General Gordon was born in Upson
county, Ga., July 6, 1832, of Scotch ances-
try which bad a prominent part in the
Revolutionary war. Young Gordon gradn-
ated from Geogia State University in 1852,
and a few months later was admitted to the
practice of law. Early in 1861 he enlisted
in the volunteer Confederate service and
was elected captain of his company. He
rose rapidly by promotion to be lieutenant
colonel of the Sixth Alabama Infantry in
December, 1861. He participated in the
struggle on the peninsula, bad a part in
the battle at Malvern Hill and was com-
.missioned a brigadier general November 6,
1862. He was in command at Chancellors-
ville and in the Pennsylvania campaign.
He was at the battle of Gettysburg, the
battlé of the Wilderness, and at Spottsyl-
vania Courthouse. In May, 1864, he was
promoted to be a’ major general and took
*part.in the importans battles which marked.
the closing scenes of“ the Civil war. His
‘bearing was characterized by boldness and
‘a’dash which made him the ideal of his
soldiers. In an official report of General
Hill, General Gordon was characterized as
‘“‘the Chevalier Bayard of the Confederacy’’
When hostilities were ended he called
his men about him and advised them to
bear the trial of defeat, togo home in peace,
obey the laws and rebuild the wasted
. country.
Since the orgamzation of the United
| Confederate Veterans, he has held the posi-
tion of its commander-in-chief, and his
frequent re-elections to that position have
. testified to the warmth of. affection in
which he has heen held in the south.

her name to the list of those seeking laurels
npon the stage. She's Mrs. 8. Cameron

marriage of United States Senator Simon
Cameron and a daughter of Bernard Lauth,
of Pittsburg, the founder of the American
Iron Works.
Mrs. Burnside, who is socially prominent
.| in West Philadelphia, and a leader in Catho-
lic charitable organization work, is with Da-
,vid Belasco in New York. At the present
time she has a part in “Sweet Kitty Bollair.”
of which Henrietta Crossman is: the star.
After rehearsing under Belasco. for several
months, Mrs. Burnside made her first appear-
ance a few weeks ago, winning instant suec-
cess.

Frank Dadeborn, Miss Frances R. Pember-
ton, who is now leading woman with Joseph:
: Jefferson, the elder.
