Constantinople Garrison Is Deserting to the Side of the Invading Army, | Taking With Them Arms and Am-' munition—Revolutionists Guarantee Safety of Population and Foreigners. Constantinople, April 21. — Sultan Abdul Hamid is waiting in his palace for whatever may befall. He has not taken to flight, and his grand vizier, Tewfik Pasha, has announced that, without fear. the sultan will remain with his family and accept resignedly | the fate which has been prepared for him and his country. Tewfik Pasha and the minister of | war, Edhem Pasha, who sent in their | resignations to the sultan, decided to | withdraw them, and the grand vizier is spending most of the time with his majesty. Nazim Uasha still is in com- mand of the garrison, but no prepara- tions have been made to offer any re-! sistance to the advance of the Salon- ika troops. The Constitutionalist lines now envelop the city, but the com. mander-in-chief, General Husni Pasha, is still at Hademkoi, and there is little likelihood that the invading army will enter the city before tonight or to morrow, Demand Punishment of Mutineers. It is understood that the Salonikins bave submitted to the government a list of persons whose punishment is demanded for complicity in the recent mutiny. This list includes deputies, journalists and theologians. But appar- ently there is the utmost good feeling between the invaders and the residents of the city, many Of whom visited the camps of the Saloniki troops and were received hospitably by the soldiers. Two proclamations, signed by the commanding general of the army of in- vestment, and addressed respectively to the citizens of Constantinople and the garrison, were issued. They have had a reassuring effect. That sent to the war office for distribution to the garrison denonnces as “criminal and monstrous the acts committed under the cover of demanding that the Sheri law supersede the constitution, by bands of executioners, vile, conscience less agitators and partisans of abso- lutism, who deluded the soldiers and populace so that the parliament was stained with blood, the nation plunged in mourning, and a blot made on the Ottoman army, whose honor had re mained intact for the last 600 years.” Assures Safety of People. The proclamation to the populace explains that the object of the invest. ing army is the re-establishment of the constitution, which is in accord- ance with the Sheriat, and the pun. ishment of the traitors to the country. It assures complete safety to the inno- cent and oppressed population and to foreigners. and adds that those who, disguised as ulemas, to serve their personal ends, committed a reprehen- sible act, will be punished. Tewfik Pasha, commenting to one of the ambassadors on the rumors that the sultan was no longer in the palace, but had taken flight on Sunday, said that the sultan was not physically timid, and would remain with his fam- ily and accept whatever situation was prepared for him. The Constantinople garrison is de. serting to the side of the Constitution: alists. The capital troops have been leaving the city in small batches since early on Sunday, but the outward flow get in heavily Tuesday. It is estimat- ed that about 4000 men have gone over to the invading army without opposi- tion from their officers or comrades. One party took along a battery of ma- chine guns, with horses and full am- munition wagons. None of those at. tempting to join the Constitutionalists without arms were accepted. Quake and Volcano Spread Terror. Mexico City, April 21. — A severe eruption of the Colima volcano, fol lowed by an earthquake shock, has spread terror and confusion among the inhabitants of nearby towns and v I lages, a number of whom deserted their homes and fled to points outside the affected zone. Just as soon as con- fidence was being restored the region was shaken by a violent earthquake, and hundreds who had returned to a sense of their security once more were thrown into a panic.

Cefen-e. Edward Russell, aged twenty-six years, was shot by J. E. Craig, who surprised Russell and Mrs. Craig to gether in the latter's home in Altoona, Pa. Russell died in the Altoona hos pital. Craig, who is twenty-five years of age and who has been employed as a | locomotive fireman in the Pennsylva- nia railroad yards in this city, has for some time suspected the conduct of kis wife, the information of her wrong: doing coming to him from his brother, who has been making his home with the couple. In the evening the hus left home to go to work as usual, but at 9 o'clock returned home, and finding his wife had zone out, se creted himself in an upper room and awaited her return. His brother, wuo had remained in the house, had re tired for the night. About midnight Mrs. Craig returned home, accompanied by Russell and an- other young man and woman. Mrs, Craig put her three-year-old daughter to bed and then joined her compan: fons in the parlor on the first floor. A few minutes later Craig slipped down stairs and, hearing voices in the par lor, which was unlighted, went in and, striking a match, saw Russell and Mrs, Craig together. Russell sprang at the husband, and the two scuffied for a moment, until Craig got out his revolver and fired, the bullet entering Russell's left temple. During the brict struggle the other couple escaped from the house. The young husband sent his brother out for a physician and to notify the police authorities, and re mained with the injured man until the police and hospital ambulance arrive?, The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that Craig fired in self-defense, and he was released on $2000 bail for trial. Man Slain; Body Buried !n Cellar. As a result of the alertness of James Gargulajos, a bootblack, Mrs. John Pishotta and her brother, Ange lia Formatore, who recently came to Carlisle from Pittsburg, are now in the county prison at Carlisle, Pa.. charged with the murder of Mrs. Pishotta's husband, John Pishotta, a wealthy Greek confectioner of this place. Gargulajos was employed by Pish otta. He was awakened by several re. volver shots in their room. Three of the bullets passed through the parti tion and flew over his head. Cowering with fear, he lay quiet in hig bed, and about a half hour later heard a sound as of a body being dragged down: stairs. Mrs. Pishotta and her brother were arrested and taken to the office of Magistrate Hughes, who held them on the charge of murder. A search of the building was made and the blood-cov- ered body of Pishotta was found in the rear cellar under a large pile of stones, boards and boxes. Big Blaze at Rochester, N. Y. Swept along in the face of a twenty: five mile gale, fire destroyed several sections of Rochester, N. Y., and did damage estimated at $500,000. For a time it was thought that a great por tion of the city would be swept, and aid was summoned from Buffalo and Syracuse. One hundred families are homeless and militiamen are in the affected zones guarding what little the people saved of their household goods. Buildings which were destroyed, in addition to about fifty residences, were the Palmer building, Temple Berith Kodesh, First Reformed Church of America, the Ward apartments and the First German Lutheran Zion church. The St. Peter's Presbyterian church, the Palmer lumber yards and several small firms on Main street were damaged. Dons Son's Clothes to Drown Herself. Suffering from the effects of an ac- cident which occurred a year ago and in which she was severely burned, Mrs. Harver Renner, aged thirty-six years, of Alientown, Pa., slipped away from her nurse and, donning her son's clothing, went to the Little Le- high river, a mile from her home, and drowned herself. The woman feared that she could never be cured and had been under guard for several weeks for fear that she might do herself harm. Her son's cap, which she wore when she left home, was found on the bank of the stream, and footprints leading to the water's edge showed where she had taken the fatal plunge. Johnson and Ketchel to Fight. After many days of wrangling be- tween the managers in New York an opponent has been found for Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world. Stanley Ketchel, the middle- weight title holder, was matched to meet the negro in a twenty round bat- tle at Coffroth’s Arena, Colma, Cal, on Oct, 12. After considerable discus- sion as to tha division of the purse the men decided upon a 65 and 35 per cent basis, Willus Britt acted on behalf of Ketchel, whit¢ 'ohnson looked after his own interests. Believing that the match will draw a larger amount than the $25,000 guaranteed by Promoter Coffroth, both Britt and Johnson de cided to fight for 60 per cent of the gross receipts. Each man posted a for feit of $5090 to go as a side bet. Two Killed in Railroad Wreck. Two persons were killed and several others slightly injured when the “Queen of the Valley,” a night express on the Reading railway, was wrecked in the southern part of Harrisburg, Pa., within a moment's ride of the Reading station. The dead: Engineer George Rock tassel, of Reading, and Fireman Le land Winand, of Harrisburg. Nene of the injured are lbrionaly hurt. The cause of the wreck is said to be that when the engineer applied the air brakes upon approaching the sta- tion the brake rigging dropped to the tracks. The ties and rails were torn up for a hundred yards; then the rig- ging apparently caught upon a switch point and overturned the engine and tender. Boys Killed Sleeping Father, John Craig was shot to death in his home at Roaking Fork, near Roan- oke, Va., and his two sons, Patrick and Arthur, aged nine and twelve re- spectively, were arrested, charged with the killing and placed in jail. It is sald the father had been brutally treating the boys, and while he was asleep they planned to take his life. One of the boys, it is alleged, pointed a revelver at the father and pulied the trigger, but the cartridge was not ex- ploded. The other boy, it is charged, then shot the parent through the head, killing him instantly. Gotch Retains His Title. Frand Gotch, of Humboldt, Iowa, re- tained the world's championship by defeating Yussiff Mahmout, of Bul garia, in straight falls in a fast and furious match in Chicago. The Bul garian was as a child in the hands of the American. Gotch won both falls with a crotch and half-Nelson holds in 8 minutes and in 9 minutes, 10 seconds. The vic tory of the champion is all the more notable inasmuch as he did not use his famous toe hold in bringing about the downfall of the powerful foreigner, whose shoulders had not hitherto been put to the mat in America. Woman Arristed For Murder In Russia Philadelphia, April 20.—Betrayed by a fellow countryman, Felicia Bekier, a Russian woman, was arrested here on the charge of killing a sergeant of the Russian army six months ago in StL Petersburg.

National Institution In Trouble cause of “Bad Investments.” Lancaster Pa., April 20.—The Lititz National bank, of Lititz, failed to open its doors. It had a paid up capital of $105,000. No statement has been prepared, and the only information so far vouch: safed is that the bank had made some bad investments. These investments are understood to be certain local in dustrial enterprises which the bank backed. While none of the enterprises which the bank financed have failed, the se- curities given for the loans were of such a character that the bank could not realize on them. Rumors have been afloat for some time about the condition of the bank, and as a result there was a run on the institution last week, which became very heavy on Saturday, when it was determined to close. In banking cir cles it is believed the depositors will be paid in full. Coal Train Conductor Shoveled $98 Into Furnace. Norristown, Pa. April 21.--Ninety: eight dollars in crisp greenbacks blazed up with a shovelful of coal when Levi Miller, a coal train con ductor, tried to help his fireman get up steam Be: The money was in a wallet, placed in the inside pocket of his unbuttoned coat. As he swung a shovelful of coal toward the open door the wallet slip- ped out, fell upon the coal and was tossed into the furnace.

Ada, Okla., April 20.—Two hundred citizens of Ada, nearly all of them of the better class, thoroughly disgusted with the “justice” meted out to crim inals in the smaller towns of Okla homa, took from jail and hanged four wealthy land owners for the murder of Deputy United States Marshal A L. Bobbitt. The lynched men were: J. B. Miller, Fort Worth, Tex.; B. B Burrell, Duncan, Okla.; Jesse West and Joseph Allen, of Canadian, Tex. The lynchers shut off the electric street lights, cut the telephone com munication and quietly gathered near the jail. When all had assembled 2 large man swaggered out of the dark ness and said: “Are you all ready?" A confused buzzing was the only an swer. The men silently made theh way toward the jail. A high board fence surrounding the jail was partly thrown down and the crowd entered the inclosure. The leader advanced and pounded on the jail door. Only Guard McCarthy was on duty. “McCarthy,” said the leader, “open this door at once. We mean business Hurry; it's near daylight.” “You might as well go home, boys,’ responded the officer. “This door will never be opened from this side.” After a conference three of the mot threw themselves against the frail jail door, and the mob rushed in. Guard McCarthy was knocked senseless with a revolver butt. The four prisoner: were quickly taken out, although West fought desperately. “If you're going to hang me, do if quick,” said Miller. The mob led the four men to a barn a few hundred feet away, and stood them in a straight line. “Tell us what you devils know abou! Lyon & Co. Bobbitt's murder,” leader. shouted the mot ' | Dispateh West answered for the four, say | now, with a first-class magazine , it | paper in the United States equal to the without this vew feature, and ing: “We don't know who you mer | will certannly be far superior to any. The are, and we don't care. For myself, || know if I had a six shooter a few o! you would bite the dust, but that’s talk, as long as my ‘shooting iron’ is ir Texas. You boys appear to have s job to do. Why don’t you do it? We won't tell anything, and you — —" “The ropes,” the leader broke in and the four prisoners were carried te a beam and strung up in a row. Just before the rope was placed about his neck, Miller calmly removed a diamond stud from his shirt front and requested that it be sent to his wife in Fort Worth. From his necktie he drew out a diamond scarf pin, with the request that it be given to Guard McCarthy for his kindness to him. As soon as the men were dead the mot disappeared. At daylight the bodies of the lynched men were cut down. Charged With Stealing 73 Horses. Kingston, R.
