DROWNED IN A VAULT.
Horrible Fate of Nine Little
Girls In Country School.
Russia's New Army Wreck on the
New York Central 58 Deaths From
Collision on the Southern Railway.
Judge Parker's Letter Democratic
State Nominees.
At Pleasant Ridge, seven miles north
of Cincinnati, nine, possibly 10, school
girls were suffocated In n vault during
the forenoon recess Friday, and a
score of others narrowly escaped the
same- horrible death.
All of the victims woro from prim
nry grades. On opposite sides of the
spacious grounds In the rear of the
fichool building are two outhouses
When the recess was given about 3C
of tho smaller girls were in the out
house assigned to them, when sudden
ly tho floor gave way, precipitating
them Into the vault below.
This vault Is 12 feot deep and walled
up with stone like a well. There was
In It four feet of water that would
have been over the beads of the chil
dren falling Into It singly, but those
falling foremost filled up the vault par
tially, so that others were not entire
ly submerged. The girls fell eight
feet from the flooring, and the strug
gles of those who were on top kept
at leant nine underneath until the
wore dead.
Tho screams of the girls were dimly
heard within the vault and they were
most of them unable to speak when
rescued. The teachers were soon rein
forced by the entire population of the
town, the police and fire departments
tendering most effective service. The
firemen drained tho vault, so as to be
sure that the rescue wan complete.
I'p the ladder climbed the little
ones, drenched, gasping for breath and
fntntlng as soon as taken Into the
fresh air. As fast as they came within
reach of the door those standing there
reached down and lifted them from
tho ladder, and passed them out to
waiting friends. It was not possible
to go down into the vault at first for
the reason that one would Impedo the
little ones who were climbing out.
Finally the last girl that could get to
the ladder got out and then the men
went' In and brought up those that re
lnalned.
Russia Organizes a New Army.
The division and reorganization of
the Russian Manchurian army, regard
lng which there have been rumors
ever since the battle of Liao Yang
was officially announced Sunday.
Tho reorganization amounts to for
mal notice to the world, as the emperor
frankly explains In his rescript, that
he intends to vastly Increase tho num
ber of troops ut tho theater of war in
order to force tho struggle to a sue
cessful Issue In tho shortest possible
time.
Probably 'JOO.OOO additional men will
be placed in the field. Five corps
the third, fourth, fifth, eighth and six
teonth are already destined for the
front, and tnlk is that five more corps
will bo sent forward. Eventually the
creation of this second army Involves
the selection of a commanded-ln-chle
Not only is there no Intimation In the
rescript that General Kuropntkin will
have command of both armies, but he
Is distinctly plnced upon the same
footing as General Grinpenberg.
Japs Control Water Supply.
As a result of the battle before Port
Arthur on Sept. 19, the Japanese suc
ceeded In capturing several important
positions, and the Russians ten
ure of the big forts guarding the north
northeast and northwest, sides of the
town Is seriously threatened.
Chinese Information places the Jap
anese losses under 3,000 for tho three
days fighting, and this comparatively
small casualty list is due to the ex
cessive care used by the Japanese In
making their preparations for the ad
vance. Possibly the most Important capture
during the three days fighting was
that of Fort Kuropatkln, which, while
of minor value with regard to prevent
lng the entrance Into the town of the
Japanese, has been constructed foi
the purpose of protecting tho source
of the garrison's water supply. The
control of this water supply Is now In
the hands of the Japanese.
Wreck on New York Central.
Six peoplo who were Injured In a
wreck on tho New York Central rail
road a short distance east of Lyons

Judgj Herrick's Name.
The name of the Democratic candl
date for governor of New York state
will appear on the ballots as "D
Cady Herrlck," with a hyphen joinlni
tho "D" and the "Cady." Tho genera
lmprn-ston has been that the D li
Judge Herrick's name was the inltia'
letter of Daniel, but this is not thi
case
D-CADY HERRICK.
In conversation the Judge explalne
that he was not named after Danle
Cady. the late wellknown merchant o'
Amsterdam, as has been supposed
His given name Is taken from that o:
David Cady. a close friend of his fa
ther. The senior Mr. Herrlck. I
seems, had an aversion to donhh
given names, and still wishing t(
name his son after his old friend
called him "I) Cady " This Is th
way that Judge Herrlck always signi
legal papers and the form in whicr
his name appeared on the official hal
lot when ho ran for district attorney
In 1880.

Judge Parker's Letter.
Alton B. Parker, In his letter ac
cepting the Democratic nomination foi
the presidency, criticises the Repub
lican party on its stand in connectlor
with tho tariff, tho acquisition of tlu
Panama strip, government expendit
ures, the postal frauds and reciprocity
To sustain his former declaration thai
tho common law could be applied tc
the restraint of trusts, he quotes fron
a decision of the United States su
preme court. He accepts President
Roosevelt's challenge In regard to tlu
latter's executive order about pen
sions, and says that. If elected h(
would revoke the order, and woulc
tiso his influence to have an ago in
distinguished from a disability pen
slon law properly adopted. He seei
danger In imperialism and declarei
for a promise of independence to the
Filipinos such ns the Cubans enjoy.

INTERNATIONAL MATTER.
State Department Takes Notice ot
Fining of a Legation Secretary.
Washington, Sept. 27. Notico o)
the action of a special Justice at Lee,
Mass., In fining Hugh Gurney, third
secretary of tho British embassy, fot
speeding and contempt of court, was
received at the state department In 8
telegram from Mr. Raikes, first secre
tary of the embassy, who is at Len
ox.
The department Immediately trans
mitted this telegram In substance to
the governor of Massachusetts with
tho suggestion that he do whatevei
might be necessary to secure) the dip
lomatlc immunity of Mr. Gurney.
It Is believed at the department thai
the matter may be far more serious
than the local officials at Lee seem tc
regard it. In the first place by constl
tutional and statutory law the per
sons attached to an embassy are ex
pressly relieved from any legal re
eponsibility, and the exemption ever
extends to domestic servants.
Section 4.0C3, revised statutes, de
dares that any writ prosecuted In any
court of the United States or of a
state or by any Judge or Justice, In
tended to cause the arrest and lm
prisonment of any public minister oi
his servant shall be void.
The succeeding section provide!
that every person by whom any sucr
protest Is obtained or prosecutec
whether as party or attorney am!
every officer concerned In Its exeeu
tlon "shall be deemed a violator ol
the law of nations and a disturber ol
the public repose, and Bhall be lm
prisoned for not more than three yean
and fined at the discretion of court.'
It will remain for the governor ol
Massachusetts to take Initial action lr
this case, which will require promol
redress. The last Important prece
dent occurred In 1892 at the picnic re
sort of Bav Ridge, near Baltimore
when Dr. George, an attache of the
Swiss legation In Washington, was ar
tested by a deputy sheriff on the
charge of being a pickpocket and was
searched and otherwise treated in o
humiliating manner by the local au
thorltlea.
The state department secured hit
release at an early moment throng!;
the governor of Maryland, who alsc
caused the dismissal of the offendinf
deputy and extended an apology foi
tho Incident.
Though the Swiss minister mlghl
have pressed further punishment, he
accepted what had been done as suffl
clent, but the matter was deemed ol
such Importance that ho could not
give this notice to other governments
until the Swiss federal council haf
formally considered the case and ex
pressed Itself satisfied.
M. PLEHVE'S MURDER.
Russian Police Claim It Was Work ol
a Band of Conspirators In Geneva.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 27. While
some of the features of the plot whlc!
culminated In the assassination of M
I'lehve, the minister of tho Interior
still baffle the police, the authorities
profess to be now perfectly certair
that the conspiracy was hatched lr
Geneva by half a dozen Russians
mostly Jews.
The authorities know the names anr
addresses of tho conspirators, but ar
unable to take legal action agalnsi
them owing to the failure of tho lawf
of Switzerland to Interfere with po
litical refugees, and therefore Rus
slan terrorists are at liberty, fron
their haven in the Alps, to conMnuf
the work of assassination of Russian
ministers so long as they are able tc
find emissaries willing to risk theli
lives, the organizers never venturing
to carry out their own designs.
Six men who engineered the Plehve
plot, according to the result of the
Russian police Investigation, are de
clnred bpyond shadow of doubt to have
organized the series of politics
crimes, with the exception of tho mur
der of M. Bohrlkoff, the governor gen
eral of Finland, began wllh the nasaa
slnatlon of tho governor of Ufa, or
May 19, 1903, and ended with tbo blow
lng up of Minister Plehve on July 2i
ot this year.
Gerehunln, whose plot resulted lr
the assassination of Minister of thf
Interior Siplagulno April 15, 1902, now
turns out to have been only an em
Issary of these Geneva terrorists
For the first time the fact Is now rc
vealed that M. Plehve's murder hac
been preceded by four abortive nt
tempts to encompass his death, whler
the department of political police
frustrated In the nick of time by the
arrest of the would-be assassins, whe
were quietly lmpr'soned.
Only one of these attempts has
hitherto becomo public and that was
revenled by the accidental exploslor
of a bomb In the Hotel Dii Nord, lr
St. Petersburg. SasonofT and two ol
Ids accomplices continue to malutair
obstinate silence rcgarling the nssai

that he threw a bomb Into the cana
