f SPRINGFIELD, O., March ll.-JThe
race disturbances which have terror
, Ized this town for the last three days
as the result of the murder of Patrol
man Collia and the subsequent lynch
ing of the negro Dixon, who shot Col
lis, is held well in check by the thir
teen companies of state militia, and
the authorities are now of the opinion
that no more troops will be needed to
control the situation.
Both Chief of Police O'Brien and
Sheriff Routzahn believe, however,
that it would be a mistake to material
ly decrease the number of troops now
on band. There are unmistakable
signs that there is an ugly feeling on
the part of the men and the boys who
have composed the mobs of the last
three days, and the authorities realize
that the shooting of either a white
man or negro r even a street fight
between men of opposite races would
be sufficient to start the mob again on
a killing and burning expedition.
The burning of a portion of the levee
and the vacating of several other ne
gro saloons and lodging houses by their
proprietors has only partially satisfied
the mob, which was thwarted by the
military in its attempt to burn the
"Flickers' Nest," a row of buildings
formerly occupied by about fifty fam
ilies, but now completely deserted.
1 The police have arrested a negro claim
ing Cincinnati as his home and giving
iY. W. Smith as his name. He was ac
companied by several strange negroes,
and wherever they could gain an au
dience of one or more negroes on the
strtet thv rend a hltrhlv Inflammatorv
typewritten paper urging the negroes
to avenge the.lynching of Dixon and to
apply the torch to the white business
and residence districts in retaliation
for the burning of the negro quarters
on the levee. . y -.-..-s '
In the opinion of City Solicitor Ta
tum' neither the, city nor county can
be held responsioie xor tne burning or
the levee district by the mob. It is an
admitted fact that, while the public
sentiment is against the means em
ployed to put the negro out of the
way, there is universal rejoicing that
he is dead, and it is realized that it
will be extremely difficult to secure a
jury that will assess more than nomi
nal damages, if any at all. While a
special grand jury will sit Monday to
investigate the lynching, it is thought
that it will be impossible to indict ei
ther the leaders of the mob which did
the lynching nor the subsequent burn
ing.
Death Mystery on the Bowery.
NEW YORK, March 11. Within fif
ty feet of the spot where he was born
half a century ago Abraham Newman,
a money lender and diamond dealer,
who had amassed a fortune from trans
actions with citizens of the east side,
was found dead in the room where for
years he had done business, on the
second floor of the building at 2G0
Bowery. - Robbery had been commit
ted, but whether or not it followed
murder is a question which the police
have yet to solve. There were no
marks of violence on the body and no
signs of a struggle in the place. New
man had died in his armchair, and his
face was as placid as though he had
passed away in a pleasant dream.
Mrm. Blaine Cannot Tell.
WASHINGTON, March 11. Mrs.
James G. Blaine, formerly Miss Mar
tha Hichborn, is living here, at least
temporarily, with her parents, Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Philip Hichborn, and
the report has been circulated that the
beautiful daughter of the retired naval
officer has separated from the son of
the former secretary of state. When
Mrs. Blaine was asked about the re
port that she and her husband had
separated Mrs. Blaine replied: "There
is nothing I can tell you. I do not
know whether I am to stay here tem
porarily or permanently. We have not
made up our minds yet. I -would sug
gest you see Mr. Blaine, who is in New
York."

From Russian Billeting:.
LONDON, March 11. An official di
patch from St. Petersburg says the
czar has received the following mes
sage from Viceroy Alexeieff at Muk
den: "The commandant of the fortress at
Port Arthur reports that yesterday
morning at about 1 o'clock the outlines
of vessels, apparently torpedo boats,
were seen at sea within the area swept
by our searchlights. Our batteries
opened fire upon these vessels, but
soon ceased. Four of our torpedo boats
put out to sea at 2:40 a. m. and at
about 4 o'clock met the enemy west ot
the Llaotiehin lighthouse. After firing
several shots the enemy retired to the
south in the direction of Shandun. Oui
torpedo boats returned to the harbor at
6 o'clock.
"Later torpedo boats were again sent
to sea to reconnoiter. They returned
in half an hour, having learned that
the enemy's squadron was approach
ing. "At 8 o'clock the Japanese opened
fire upon our cruisers and the fortress.
The enemy had fourteen ships and
fired the entire time from behind Liao
tichin." Tokyo official dispatches say the
Russian and Japanese mounted scouts
were in collision north of Pingyang
on Wednesday night. After . a brief
engagement the Russians retreated.
No casualties are reported on either
side.
The report of Vice Admiral Kami
mura, in command of the" Vladivostok
naval expedition, has just reached the
navy department and states that the
Russian squadron remains safely with
in Vladivostok harbor under the pro
tection of the shore batteries, where it
lay during both visits of the Japanese
squadron. The admiral says that he
bombarded the harbor for forty min
utes and believes the fire was very ef
fective. At 5 o'clock in the evening
the Japanese discerned volumes of
smoke ascending over the eastern
mouth of the harbor, and it was
thought for a time that the Russians
were getting steam up to come out and
give battle, which was eagerly await
ed, but the smoke gradually died away,
with no appearance of any of the Rus
sian ships.
The Japanese ships searched the sur
rounding bays until noon, when they
again steamed back to the eastern en-'
trance of Vladivostok harbor. The
forts'there did not fire at the approch
lng ships, and no trace was found of
the Russian squadron. Admiral Ka
mimura then steamed south, reconnoi
tering Poisset bay and other inlets in
that vicinity, but found no trace of
the Russians. J
The Japanese journalists are rejoic
ing at the friendly tone observable in
the American papers which have just
been received in this country.
A Yinkow report says the concen
tration of troops at the Russian stra
tegical base has resulted in much suf
fering among the Chinese inhabitants,
especially at Liaoyang, where even
private buildings have been appropri
ated to accommodate the soldiers, and
thousands of Chinese are consequently
without homes.
Advices from Chefu report that two
Russian torpedo boats as scouts left
Port Arthur on March 7 in the morning
and have been unheard of since.
It is feared they have fallen into the
hands of the enemy.
It is stated at Port Arthur that Ad
miral Makaroff ordered the Retvizan
towed into the harbor and that this
order has been successfully executed.
ESCAPED RUSSIAN CRUISER.
British Captain Tells of the Japa
nese Warships' Voyage Home.
VICTORIA, B. C, March 11. The
Northern Pacific liner Olympia has ar
rived from Yokohama, with Captain
Hill, who brought the Japanese cruis
er Nisshln from Genoa to Yokohama,
on. board. He gives a most interesting
account of the trip, which includes a
race with the Russian cruiser Aurora
in the Red sea and the escape of the
Nisshin and Kasuga from possible cap
ture by the Russian squadron.
Captain Hill says that when the two
Japanese cruisers got through the Suez
canal they were closely followed by
the Russian squadron, which was evi
dently trying hard to keep in close
touch with them. The Aurora, which
enjoys the reputation of being one of
the fastest vessels afloat, attempted to
overhaul the two cruisers, which, how
ever, put on more steam and ran away
from her with the greatest ease. From
the firiiig up done on the Aurora it
was evident that she meant business.
Captain Hill had a long conversation
with the Japanese admirals when in
Japan shortly before leaving, and they
told him that the main object of the
Japanese operations at present was
Port Arthur. They were to capture
that place at any cost and were con
fident of their ability to do so. No ef
fort, the Japanese naval minister as
sured Captain Hill, would be spared to
reduce Port Arthur as quickly as pos
sible. It would then be refortified by
the Japanese, who would remain there
instead of following the Russians into
the wilds of northern Manchuria or
Siberia. The intention also is to re
duce Vladivostok as soon as possible.
In reply to the question as to wheth
er the superb gunnery of the Japanese
warships was due to the presence of
British or American gunners aboard.
Captain Hill said most emphatic,
that not a white man is employed oi
any .Japanese warship in any capacity
whatsoever. From the bridge to th
stokers every man is Japanese.
Damaa-e Between Fittston and Sun.
hury Estimated at S6,500,000.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., March 11.
Investigation' shows that the Pennsyl
vania, Lehigh Valley and Delaware
Lackawanna and Western railroads are
badly damaged along the line of tin
river and .that it will be several days
before traffic can be resumed. The road
beds are washed out in many places
and bridges are torn and twisted bj
the masses of ice. The total damage
in all towns between Pittston and Sun
bury is estimated at $6,500,000.
The up river gorges in the Susque
hanna at Sunbury broke last night ana
are now passing down the river' with
out causing much damage. The only
serious damage to Sunbury and vicini
ty was the destruction of the North- !
umberland bridge.
Three thousand men have been tak
en from Enola and other points along
the Pennsylvania railroad where im
provements are being made to cleai
the obstructed tracks on the Columbia
division.
The gorged ice piled on the tracks
near Harrisburg has reached a height
of twenty feet at many points between
Shock's Mills and Collins. Between
Chickies and Falmouth there are points
where the ice is over the tracks for a
depth of ten' feet. This ice during the
past two or three days has frozen into
a comparatively solid mass, and it
will require several days to put the
tracks in normal condition.
DYING MURDERER CAUGHT.
If Pneumonia Doesn't Kill Him He
Will Be Hanged. .
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., March 11. Facing
death from pneumonia and death by
the gallows, Mark Dunn, murderer of
Alfred Fenton at Rushville, Mo., was
landed in jail here after a capture al
most as sensational as his escape from
behind the bars here last Monday. He
is in a dying condition, but unless his
demise intervenes Dunn will be hang
ed in the jail yard here. Dunn's cap
ture took place at Guilford, Mo.,
where, after an exciting race, he had
taken refuge in a hotel, too weak to
offer resistance.
Shortly after Dunn's escape from the
jail here Monday he was taken ill and
was obliged to ask shelter at the home
of a farmer in Rosedale. A farm hand
who was present suspected that the
fugitive was. Dunn. A telegram was
sent to Sheriff Spencer at St. Joseph,
but Mike Estes, . a brothervn-law of
Dunn, to whose house Dunn had in the
meantime been removed, feared "that
his identity might become, known and
put the sick man in a buggy. Deathly
ill, he started on a wild drive across
the country, but. by .the time Guilford
was reached he dismissed his driver
and team and said he could go no far
ther. The murderer went to a hotel
and was there found in a dying condi
tion when the sheriff and his deputies
arrived.- . . : . . ..

It Is the Will of the Lord That Ton
Vote Republican Tiehet."
WASHINGTON March 11. One of
the most interesting and important
features of the investigation of the
Senator Reed Smoot case before the
senate committee on privileges and
elections as brought out In the testi
mony of E. B. Critchlow, formerly an
assistant United States attorney in
Utah, who told the story of the Moses
Thatcher episode. According to his
version, which ' was borne out by offi
cial records, Apostle Thatcher persist
ed in continuing as a candidate for
the United States senate against the
wishes of a quorum of the apostles and
-on that account was held to be "not in
harmony with his quorum." The his
tory of the campaign he made against
the wishes of his fellow Mormons, of
his defeat and his subsequent trial be
fore a commisssion of church officials
was given in detail, and then Thatch
er's submission to the . will of the
church was read and put in the record
of the Smoot investigation. This re
cantation showed Thatcher totally bro
ken in spirit and bowing Absolutely to
the mandates of the church in that the
consent of an officers' quorum must
be obtained. in order that he may con
tinue in good standing.
The purpose of the testimony was to
show that it was necessary, accord
ing to the rules of the church, for Reed
Smoot to have obtained the consent of
the church before he could have be
come a candidate for the senate.
In addition to the Thatcher episode
Mr. Critchlow gave the history of the
prosecutions in Utah of charges of
polygamous cohabitation since the pas
sage of the Edmunds law and the leg
islation in the territory and state
which affects Mprmonism or polyga
my. His story was concise and enter
taining, and he was interrupted but
little.
In response to an inquiry in regard
to Mr. Thatcher running for the sen
ate on a platform not in harmony with
the church, Mr. Critchlow spoke of the
influence of apostles, giving as an illus
tration that the apostles gave out the
instruction that "it is the will of the
Lord that you vote the Republican
ticket this time."
Mr. Critchlow said the Democrats
protested against the interference by
the church in such manner.
Andrew Jensen, the assistant histo
rian of the church, gave testimony
showing the supremacy of the presi
dent of the church.

WATERBURY
BACKS
Most Waterbury people hare bad backs.
Some suffer severely from" backache peihi, otiiers""
have attacks that harrass, annoy, but seem not seri
ous. Many grievous ' mistakes come through back
neglect - The apparent weakness . which causes ev
ery little strain on the back, every cold, every 'exer
tion . to bring backache palnz, is a tell-tale warning
from the kidneys. The kidneys are over-worked,
they become congested, and. if . you do not relieve
them, urinary disorders follow Diabetes Dropsy
Bright s disease! Doan's Kidney Pills not only cure
the backache, but cure the kidneys of every com-
plication that attacks them. v 1
Waterbury Proot
James Dews of 842 Baldwin street, says: '
"Doan's Kidney Pills are a fine remedy and I can most bigtly
recommend them. I suffered "considerably from severe pains
through my. loins and across" my kidneys, more severe during
changeable weather or when I caught cold, for it was almost sure
to settle in the small of my back, making It ache and feel lame and
so sore that I could hardly attend to my work. Doan's Kidney Pills
were so highly recommended to me that I got a box from a drug
store and used them. They relieved me entirely of the trouble.
You can refer to me as one that can recommend Doan's Kidney,
