Ten Women Killed at Crossing.
A passenger train on the Pittsburg,
Shawmut & Northern railroad, near
Hornellsvillc, N. Y., Wodnosday night,
crashed Into n sleigh containing a
party of thirteen women, killing seven
of them outright and seriously injur
ing the remaining six, of whom three
have since died. The other three are
In a precarious condition.
The victims were members of tho
Ladles' Aid society of the Unlversalist
church of Horncllsville.
The place where the accident oc
curred Is at the crossing of what is
known as the Arkport road and Is on
the premises of the Babcock farm.
The road is level at this point and an
uninterrupted view of the tracks can
be obtained for so:ne distance cast
and west.
At. tho ofllclal investigation into
tho accident at Stephen's crossing
which resulted In the death of 10 of
Hornellsvllle's most prominent wo
men and the injury of three others,
tho engineer end the fireman of
the train testified that the whistle

fected by the terrible accident. Sev
eral of the funerals were held on
Saturday and business generally was

Battle of Hun River.
The five days' combat ending Jan. 28
wh.ch will be known as the battle of
the Hun river was fought on a plajn
broken only by southern amethyst
mountnlns around Yentai, the solitary
eminence of which Is the Llao Yang
Tower of bloody memory.
For five days Russian soldiers un
nvailtngly hurled themselves against
the defences and field artillery pound
ed them until the frosty air reverber-;
nted with the thunder of cannon, the'
din of bursting shells and the rattlo of
musketry.
The gunners nctually wept with de
spair at their impotence. Mortar bat
teries enmn up at a gallop In the hope,
of demolishing the fortifications. Night
and day the stream of shells was
poured against t10 earthworks but
without effect. The men seemed In
different to hunger or cold which lat
ter was of Arctic Intensity. Their
fingers, hands and feet were benumbed,
while stinging snow and dust blinded
them.
Tho slightest wound caused excru
ciating pain. Warm blood no sooner
exuded from lacerated flesh than It be
gan to freeze. Wounded could not be
left exposed and If they did not re
ceive attention within an hour they
died. The surgeons, their assistants
and nurses were almost powerless In
".ho bandaging of wounds, for they
were obliged to wenr leather gloves
tr mittens In order to resist the cold.
Tho men seemed to be living again
he horrors of the winter campaign
of 1812 against tho Turks. , Every
thing that could bo donwna done,
but man was powerless 'fir'thf face
of nature, which heaped, tortnrejr itpoji
the troops and defeated the well
tbonpht out. plan of the commander.
The battle yielded no palpable re
suit.. .
Russian Operations Suspended.
According to Gen. Kuropatklri's a-.
test reports, which indicate the wound
ing of a third Russian general, Dem
Lowskl, the operations at Sandlapu
and the fighting at Sliakhe have boon
momentarily suspended. The Rus
Flans successfully, repulsed the latest
attack of the: Jupflivefie eastward with
heavy low. " ' '

WORK OF TERRORISTS.
Assassination of Finnish Law
Officer of High Rank.
The Assassin and Official's Son Wert
Both Wounded In a Pistol Due
Following the Killing Regarded In
St. Petersburg as Precusor ef ar
Era of Terrorism.
Hclsingfors, Finland, Feb. 7. Sena
tor Johnssou, procurator of the Fin
nish senate and procurato general
of Finland, was assassinated In his res
idence at 11 o'clock yesterday morn
Ing.
The murderer, who was disguised at
an officer of the' army, sent in a card
bearing the name Alexander Gadd,
and at once ws admitted. After en
tering the room he faced the procura
tor general, drew a revolver and fired
four shots' in quick succession.
Each shot took effect and Johnsson
fell, dying almost immediately. Johns
son's son, hearing the firing, came to
his father's assistance, and the mur
derer fired at him, wounding him
slightly. The assassin at once was
arrested.
Johnsson was born in 185G and prac
ticed at the Finnish bar. He was high
ly esteemed and had held various
government appointments, Including
that of provincial judge. He was ap
pointed procurator of the senate in
1901 and in the same year was made
procurator general of the Duchy of
Finland. Johnsson was regarded as
a wise and patriotic official. It is un
dcrstcod that It was at his Initiative
hat the Finns exiled . by Governor
General Bobrakoff were allowed to re
turn to Finland.
When he became ennobled Senator
Johnsson took the name of ScJsiUon
sommcn.
The assassin and Soinincn's son
were both wounded in a revolver duel
following the killing. The motive of
the crime apparently was purely po-
lltical, the slain ofllclal being a promi
nent member of the government party.
The murderer appeared a't the pro
curator's residence at 11 o'clock and
sent in a card bearing in French the
name of Alexandre Gadd, who Is ln
the Russian service. The young man(
who was smartly dressed In an offi
cer's uniform, was promptly admitted,
to the official's private study, and on
his entrance fired four shots from a
revolver, one of tho bullets piercing
the brenst of the procurator, who ex-
p&red almost Immediately.
His 17-year-old son hearing the
shots, rushed in from an adjoining
room nnd fired three or four shots at
his father's assailant, whose right leg
Lwas broken below the knee by a bul
let. He also was slightly wounded in
the shoulder nnd a finger of his left
hand was struck.
The assassin fired the one bullet re
maining in his revolver at Soinincn's
son, wounding him slightly in the calf
of his right leg. He then endeavored
to escape, but fell unconscious to the
floor in the ante-room. There he was
seized.
Dr. Wasastjcrna was called Immedi
ately but found tho procurator beyond
need of his services. The assassin
was removed to the surgical hospital
where he lies guarded by police, an
swering no questions and evidently
unconscious. His recovery, however,
is thought to be certain. Up to the
present the authorities have been un
able to identify him. He is of dark
complexion nnd apparently between
25 and CO years of ago.
OF A POLITICAL CHARACTER.
Procurator-General Was Looked Upon
as an Exponent of Russiflcation
of Finland.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 7. The news of
the assassination of Soisalon Soinl
nen, procurator general of Finland,
though occurring before noon on Mon
day, was not known generally in St.
Petersburg last night, but may be ex
pected to produce an Immense sensa
tion when It becomes public, as It will
be regarded as tho precursor of an
era of terrorism for which the events
of January in St. Petersburg and
throughout Russia gave the signal.
Until the identity of the assassin Is
known It will bo impossible to estab
lish positively the motive for the at
tempt, but the present circumstances
In Finland render it almost certain
that the crime Is of a purely political
character and of tho same nature as
the. assassination of Count Bobrlkoff,
tho governor ' geiuiral of Finland, In
Juno of last year..'.
The Russiflcation of Finland has
been meeting with great opposition
and creating much bitterness, es
pecially since, tho formation of the
party of active resistance, recruited
from the bolder spirits of thu original
party of passive resistance and to
which the perpetrator of this latest
crime probably belongs.
At the conference of revolutionary
parties of Russia, comprising repre
senbitives of tho Finnish Active Re
sistance parly, tho Polish National
League, the Ri'sslan emancipationists
nnd other revolutionary organiza
tions, in Berlin last November a pro
gram for general concerted action was
drawn up, and the assassin of Soinlnen
undoubtedly was In touch with the
dissatisfied element throughout Rum-
Coadjutor Bishcp of Rochester.
Rome, Feb. 7. Tho popo has rati
fied the appointment of Very Rev.
''Thomas F. Illekey, now vicar general
of Rocbi ster, N. V., as coadjutor
bishop of that diocese.
ARGENTINE REBELLION.
Government Troops Dispersed the
Rebels at Mendoza.
Buenos Ayres, Feb. 7. Government
troops attacked tho rebels, who had
fortified themselves at Mendoza, at
dawn yesterday. Soon afterwards
the rebel leaders and officers fled to
tho mountains, whereupon the men
surrendered unconditionally. The
rebels, had sacked the local branch of
the national bank of Buenos Ayrej
end seized $300,000. Numerous ar
rests have been made and the city Is
now quiet.
Late information shows that the in
surrectionary movement is now re
stricted to Cordoba. Generals Wlnt-
ter, Benavldes, Garcia and Roca,
with largely superior forces, are sur
rounding tho city.
The rebels are holding Senator
Yofre.
The Buenos Ayres police have
seized a quantity of guns and revol
vers and also many copies of mani
festos and revolutionary documents.
Night trains on the line between
Buenos Ayres and Rosario will be re
sumed again tomorrow.
All the bankers here condemn the at
tempted revolution and express the
hetye that the energetic policy of
President Quintana will have the ef
fect of preventing any such attempt in
the future.
The only group of rebels In the
province of Buenos Ayres, 170 men
strong, has been defeated near Plro
vano station. Two officers and seven
men were killed and 121 surrendered.
The rest with Commandant Villamayor
are retreating and government troops
are In pursuit.
Tho Insurrection is admitted to
have been a failure and the govern
ment now has matters well in hand.
Yesterday the military rebels at Cor
doba endeavored to make terms with
the government by offering to sur
render If they were absolved and per
mitted to cetnin their ranks, threat
ening that if these conditions were re
fused they would hold as hostages
Dr. Alcorta, the vice president of the
republic, and other notable persons
surprised and captured In that city
an Saturday.
Prssident Quintana declined to lis
ten to any compromise, adding that
rebeda had no rights as combatants
and would be amenable to military
law.
The prompt suppression of the out
brciflv makes It evident that there
fs an nbsence of nil the usual elo
r.ients of a revolution. Popular sym
pathy Is entirely with the government,
which exhibited unexpected strength.
The rising was purely military and
happily was limited la its propor
tions. . Condition of Justice Hooker.
Albany, Feb. 7. That the serious In
lury of Supreme Court Justice War

dent near Utlca last Saturday morn

How Ilie Simikrr I'nllnhra 11 In IMpe.
"One of the fads of (lie dyed "in the
wool pipe smoker is to have a dazzling
polish on his pipe, mill It's curious how
he puts the gloss on," said a tobacco
dealer.
"Watch a veteran pipe smoker close
ly nnd you se-e him occasionally rub
the bowl of his pipe against Ills face,
usually on cneh side of bis nose. That's
how be puts the polish 011. The bent of
the brier and the oil of the skin
against which it Is rubbed work up a
rich gloss. A smoker's favorite pipe,
you will find, 1ms the sheen of rose
wood. It Likes mouths of rulibiii'.; to
woik up a looking glass polish, nnd
the longer the practice Is Indulged In
the more shiny the pipe becomes. I
don't know who originated the Idea,
but nil old smokers are on' to It, and
the pride they take In their polished
pipes Is nninziiig."- Philadelphia Record.

BETRAYED "MAFIA" SECRETS.
Love For a Girl Causes a Man to Tell
What He Knows of the Black
Hand.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 6. Through
the lovo of a girl the authorities of
Lackawanna county have obtained tho
secrets of the "Mafia" society which
reigned In Carbondale and which they
are now endeavoring to crush. . One
of the loaders of tho society, Joseph
Colandre, who Is a prisoner in tho
Lackawanna jail, has made a detailed
confession In the hope of being re
leased or getting only a short term.
Tho confession was obtained by his
sweetheart, Rosa Romaine, whom he
was to have married In June, and
who for, several days has been plead
ing with him to tell the authorities all
he knows.
Not until Santo Carisaro had been
found guilty and sentenced to five
years and nlno months In jail, and
Frank Muncula had pleaded guilty
and had been sentenced to four years
and nine months did Colandre weak
en and tell the secrets of tho society.
Colandro said the organization was
known to the members merely as "the
society" and not as the Mafia. He told
District Attorney Lewis that he had
been forced to join tho gang under
threat o' 'U-nth, and that he was com
pelled, In order to protect himself, to
go with them when they cornered a
man and niado him disgorge after
threatening him with Injury or tell
ing him his throat would bo cut. Ho
named John Costa of New York city
as the head of the society, who Issued
all tho orders and to whom tho money
collected was turned over.
Frank Moucula, who pleaded guilty,
ho says, was the leader of tho Carbon
dalo society and tho personal repre
sentative of Costa. Ho named other
members of tho society. Colandro
gave the district attorney a list of
the victims, the money they paid, tho
threats made against them, and every
little detail of tho ramifications of tho
society which he knew. These facts
will now aid greatly in tho prosecution
of the several prisoners awaiting trial. .
This confession may effect Colan
dre's release after a short term, but
makes him subject to tho vengeance
of the Mafia, and threats have already
been niado. Frank Muncula said flvo
years in prison was not long enough
to make him forget, and that when he
came out he would "fix" the man who
has betrayed the society.
