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.
Man's Body Found In River.
Harrisburg, Pa.. April 21.—The body
of H. A. Ford, a clerk in the office of
General Superintendent Creighton, of
the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona
was found in the Susquehanna rive:

berland Valley railroad train in this
city.
Operators Postpone Meeting.
New York, April 21.—The meeting
of the anthracite coal oerators, which
was to have been held in this city to
morrow, has been postponed until next
Tuesday, April 27.
Florida Elects U. 8. Senator.
Tallehasse, Fla, April 21.—Duncan
U. Fletcher, of Jacksonville, was

legislature.
2000 Massacred by Tribesmen.
Advices to the Russ in St. Peters-
burg from Teheran report a mas-
sacre of 2000 persons, including women
and children, by Turcoman tribesmen
at Astrabad. There is no confirma-
tion here of the massacre, but the Rus-
sian government is sending a detach-
ment of troops to that place.

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

Russian woman, was arrested here on

filiated with the revolutionists. In an
ticipation of an uprising of the people

sent a squad of soldiers to seize
Bekier. His wife picked up a rifle and
shot the sergeant three times.

Thomas Stewart, two brothers resid-
ing near Buckingham Court House,

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. For a moment
the glare blinded him, and when he
was able to see what he had done it
was too late to rescue his month's pay.
Steel Plant Closed.

Canonsburg Iron and Steel company
closed its plant, throwing 400 men out
of work. The company has offered to

Mob Stormed Jail, Knocking Guarc
Senseless, and Seized Four Wealthy
Land Owners and Quickly Executec
Them.
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!

“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.
