ST. PKTKnSM.'ltfJ. .tan. -2X- day
of uiisicak:iblc horror in St. I'etrrsburg
was Sunday, Jan. The strikers,
gomb'd to dcsperntloii ly n day of vlo
k'lice, fury mid bloodshed, an- in a state
of open Insurrection iigulust the jiuv
eminent.
It Is estimated that 1.5ihi people have
been killed or wounded. Popular ru
mors say that inauy thousands have
fallen.
A condition bordering on civil war cx
1ms In the terror stricken Russian cap
ital. The city is under martial law,
with Prince VasiU hlkolT as commander
of over .".o.ihiii of the emperor's crack
guards. Tronpn are bivouacking in the
t reels and at various plaivs on the
ivky prospect, the main thorough
fare of the city. (Ml the Island of Vas
sili Hstr.iv auvl in the iiiiliiMrinl sec
tions infuriated men have thrown up
b.:ir!ca.lr"s, which they are fiol.liim.
The empress dovvaner has hastily
Bought wifely at Tsarskoe Selo, where
Kmperor Nicholas II. ls living.
.Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk
Mirsky presented to his majesty the iu
vitatiou of the Workmen to appear at
the Winter palace Sunday afternoon
and receive their petit Ion, but the em
peror's advisers already had taken a
decision to show a firm and resolute
front, and the emperor's answer to
I00.0OO workmen trying to make their
way to the palace siiuure was a solid
array of troops," who met them with
rifle, bayonet and saber. The priest,
Gopon, the leader and idol of the men,
In his golden vestments, holding aloft
the eross and marching at the head of
thousands of workmen through the
Narva gate, miraculously escaped a vol
ley which laid low half n hundred ner-
roiih. The figures of the total number
killed or wounded here, at the Moscow
gate, at various bridges and Islands
and at the Winter palace vary. The
best estimate In 1,500, although there
are exaggerated figures placing the
number as high as 5.0OO. Many men
were accompanied by their wives and
children, and In the confusion, which
left no time for discrimination, the lat
ter shared the fute of the men. The
troops, with the exception of n single
regiment, which is reported to have
thrown down its arms, remained loyal
and obeyed orders. Rut the blood
which crimsoned the snow has fired the
brains and passions of the strikers and
turned women ns well ns men Into
wild beasts, and the cry of the in
furiated populace is for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle classes
Is with the workmen.
If Father Gopon, the master mind of
the movement, aimed nt open revolu
tion he managed the affair like a
genius to break the faith of the people
In "the little father," who they were
convinced and whom Father Gopon had
taught them to believe would right
their wrongs and redress their griev
ances. Gorky, the Russian novelist, express
es the opinion that these measures will
break the faith of the people in the em
peror. He said:
"Today Inaugurated revolution In
Russia. The emperor's prestige will be
Irrevocably shattered by the sheddine
of Innocent, blood. He has alienated
himself forever from his noonle. GoDon
taught the workmen to believe that an
appeal direct to the 'little father' would
be heeded. They have been undeceiv
ed. Gopon Is now convinced that
peaceful means have failed and that
the only remedy Is force. The first
blood has been shed, but more will fol
low. It Is now the people against the
oppressors, and the battle will be
fought to the bitter end."
The military authorities had a firm
grip on erery artery in the city. At
daybreak guards, regiments, cavalry
and infantry held every bridge across
the fr6zen Neva, the network of canals
which Interlace the city and the gates
leading, from the Industrial section.

AN ORMOND
TRAGEDY
Frank Croker Killed on the
Beach Auto Course.
CAR HIT MOTOR CYCLE
Crokcr's Driver Instantly Killed
and Cyclist Had Both
Les Broken.
ORMOND. Fla., .Ian. 2:t.-Trunk II
Croker of New York, son of Richard
Croker, the former Tammany chief
tain, an enthusiastic and fearless auto-
1st, who has shown his daring in auto
mobile racing ou road and track, lies
dead at this place. He died soon after
midnight from the effects of the In
juries received In an automobile accl
dent ou the Sea Reach race track. His
mother and sister arrived on a snecial
train today. His driver, Victor Uaud
01 .ew iork was killed instantly.
M. F. Stanley, a visitor here, nronel
ling a motor cycle, which caused the
accident, had both legs broken. Cro
kcr's seventy-five horsepower Simplex
rolled over and down the sand into the
ocean, and when it stopped it was half
submerged In water. Had Croker not
been pulled out from under the car he
would probably have drowned.
The upset occurred alout two miles
tins side of Onnond. Croker was
speeding his car ' northward, driving
himself, when he saw. far ahead, the
man propelling the motor cvcle. Cro
ker tried to turn out, but the cyclist
filially shot sideways to the right, di
rectly in front of the automobile. Cro
ker made a mighty effort to turn, but
at that moment the damp sand gripped
his wheel, wrenching one of the tires,
and the car turned sharply and then
flopped sideways, turning over until It
reached foot deep water.
Mr. Croker was found to have one
leg broken near the thigh, the other
leg injured and his arm broken. He
had a deep cut and a contusion on the
roreliead, and blood .was flowing from
his ears. He was unconscious for about
ten minutes. Finally, when a bystand
er rolled back his eyelids, he spoke
and gradually revived. There were also
Internal Injuries found.
Rauel, the driver, had ceased to
breathe when his body was pulled out
of the Atlantic. The cyclist, whose
legs were broken, was taken to a car
riage and speedily driven off.
Crokcr's body was bruised all over
In spots. The automobile still lie In
the ocean and is being viewed by a
crowd In the bright moonlight.
The accident ls likely to cause the
government to exercise jurisdiction
over the bench. The city has assumed
control, but legally has no control
above high water mark. President
Peck of the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile association -said he was satis
fied that n soft spot of sand, gripping
the tire, threw the car over.
Croker was one of the most daring
amateur autoiuobllists in the country,
.Hid has his motor boat here, Intend
ing to enter the Talm Reach boat races
week after nest. He made his first
Important appearance In the Vanderbilt
cup races last October. At the Empire
City track last fall he won the world
amateur records from ten to twelve
miles, when he was forced to slow
down. He was also Interested in golf,
dogs and horses. "
Mr. Croker's death came as a stun
ning blow to his friends here, for It
was reported by his physicians that he
was doing fairly well and that they
hoped for the best.
From the first Dr. Parks and Dr.
Miller realized that Mr. Croker's In
juries were very severe and the shock
great. It was evidently from the ef
fects of the tremendous shock that he
died.
An examination of Croker's racer
disclosed a most complete wreck.

A case of destitution appears to ex

father and mother both work, the for
mer in a mill and the latter, in a laun

in the coldest weather half clothed and
several of the neighbors are helping
the children by getting shoes, stock

There are fcur or five children, the
baby, and Edna, four years old. aD

clothing. Mrs Rose, when away at
work during the day leaves the vounc
er children in charge of an older
girl who does her best under the cir
cumstances to keep them warm.
I red Allen while driving his deliv
ery team up Silver street Wednesday
morning which was the coldest morn

She was running down the street and
crying bitterly. Her hands and limbs
were blue with the cold.
