[DISTURBANCE IN WARSAW Troops Fire on Crowds, Killing Nearly One Hundred. M V DAY SCENES OF TERROR Volleys Fired Without Warning on \ Orderly Procession of WorkmenBombs Thrown and Cossacks Retaliate by Killing: InoSenslve Cltliens, Shooting; Many In the Back. Warsaw, Poland.?Nearly 100 persons were killed or wounded by the troops in various quarters of Warsaw. * Tlie soldiers apparently were uncontrollable and violated all orders to act With moderation. They fired into Crowds of demonstrators, aud workmen in retaliation resorted to the use of firearms and bombs. ' Many women and children were among tl>e dead and dying. What approached a reign of terror existed that night; the city presented a most gloomy aspect, and the temper of the entire community augured ill. May Day opened with every prospect that the recent forebodings would prove unfounded. Glorious weather ushered in the celebrations, and all factories, shops and offices of every description were closcd. The streets were crowded from early in the morning with gayly dressed people and troops. Children everywhere enjoyed themselves in the warm sunshine. No street cars or cabs were moving. The presence of numerous patrols of Cossack cavalry and infantry was the only reminder of lurking danger. No untoward incident was reported until the afternoon. The first disturbances occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock, when a profession of several thousand workmen carrying red flags marched along Zelanaz street. The demonstration was quite orderly and proceeded without molestation for some distance. Suddenly several squadrons of Uhlmans appeared, without interfering with the procession, and took up a position along , th? sidewalks while the workmen fhrnnorh linoc i Then a company of infantry ap- : proached from the front, and immediately the cavalry charged into the procession, driving it with the flats of their swords into a disorganized mass. . When the cavalry withdrew the in- , far.try fired a volley, whereupon the demonstrators 'turned and fled. The infantry continued to discharge volleys ] into the retreating, shrieking multi- 1 ituile. { Thirty-one persons w^re killed. Many j jtvere wounded. The shooting is described as having 1 been quite unprovoked. It aroused the ( most intense indignation among all ] classes in Warsaw. Many of those < who were killed or wounded were shot \ in the back, showing that they were running away when they were struck. < Another terrible scene was enacted \ at 5. p. m. at the corner of Zlota and ] Sosnowa streets. Workmen fired from < behind a "wall at a patrol, which imme- \ ifliately opened fire on the passing -Crowds, killing or wounding twenty persons. The first bomb throwing occurred at i 9.35 o'clock, when a bomb was thrown ] into a Cossack patrol tear the Vienna \ Station. Three Cossacks and one po- j liceman were killed and two ladies who { were leaving the station at the time j were severely wounded by the explo- l 8ion of the bomb. s Cossacks and infantry fired a number of volleys, and it is reported thit many 3 persons were killed or wounded. Troops ] surrounded the whole neighborhood. 1 At 10.45 p. m. disturbances broke out i at the Zombkowska Gate of the suburb < of Praga, across the Vistula River. A < great crowd had assembled there, and i Was threatening the troops when Hus- i sars fired upon the crowd and killed 1 four and wounded many others. ] In Jerosolini street a man fired into a : patrol irom me rooi ot a nouse, uui without result. In Nawrot street a patrol killed a woman. It was reported by telephone from ' Lodz that a crowd there had stoned a military patrol, whereupon ihe soldiers Bred and killed two men and wounded & hoy. Later a similar scene occurred ' In P.alueki Square, in Lodz, where two : persons were killed. In Lodz at 9 o'clock a bomb was 1 thrown at a patrol, but it was not ef- : fective. The patrol fired into the crowd 1 and killed three and wounded two persons. A student, who was distributing proclamations in Wola, a suburb of Warsaw, was killed by a patrol. The day's bloodshed is likely very seriously to affect the situation and may cause a general strike. The temper of the people was raised to white heat, and there was much apprehension regarding possible events on the 114th anni versary of the proclamation of the Polish Constitution, when disturbances and demonstrations always occur. All the ground that had been gained since the disturbances of last January hajj_been tost. Michigan!*. Blow at Trusts. The lower home of the Michigan Legislature, at fipnsing, passed unanimously the Blan?*Antl-Trust bill, said to bo the most sweeping anti-trust measure ever passed in the country.

Point and Kills Himself. W?3 Uuiler Arrest at the Time Fo* Breach of Discipline and Feared Dismissal From Service. ?? Salt Lake, Utah.?Captain W. A. Ralbourn, of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, committed suicide at Fort Douglas after making a murderous assault on Lieutenant William H.>" Point, of the same regiment. The I/ieutenant was shot twice by his superior officer, one bullet penetrating the left thigh and another inflicting a deep flesh wound in the right leg. After Lieutenant PoiHt had fallen Captain Raibouru turned his revolver on himself, sending a bullet into his head three inches behind the right ear. He died in a moment. Captain Raibourn had been drinking heavily, and the tragedy was an outgrowth of his arrest on the charge of intoxication. Captain Raibourn was appointed officer of the day at Fort Douglas a few days ago, but failed to report for duty and was absent twenty-four hours without leave. He was arrested the following day, but was given the privileges of the fort under orders not to leave the grounds. Captain Raibourn broke his parole in the evening and came to Salt Lake. Lieutenant Point, who was sent after him with an ambulance, found him in a' Main street saloon, and the Captain was returned to Fort Douglas under arrest. He was ordered to remain in his quarters. Lieutenant Point's quarters were only two doors from those which Captain Raibourn occupied. The Lieutenant had just stepped out of doors early in the day when Captain Raibourn appeared carrying a revolver. His manner was threatening, and Point ex claimed: "Now, Captain, dou't do anything foolish." Raiboprn made no reply, but immediately began to shoot. When other officers and soldiers ran out, after hearing the shots, Captain Raibourn was lying dead and Lieutenant Point was lying in front of his quarters. Captain Raibourn's body was embalmed in the post hospital and later sent to Oakland City, Ind., where his mother and two sisters live. He has a brother-in-law in Chicago. 111. Captain Raibourn had sought to avoid a court martial and had forwarded to Washington, D. C., his resignation. It had not been accepted, and it svas supposed that a trial by court martial awaited him. Worry over the the probablitiy of a dishonorable discharge from the army is believed to liave unbalanced his mind. Captain Raibourn, who was thirty;hree years old and unmarried, enlist jd in the army in i?yi as a private. 3e and Lieutenant Point had served together in the Philippines and had been irra friends. Lieutenant Point entered the army as Captain of the Fifty-first Iowa Voluneers and later was appointed to the regular service. He had passed the examination and qualified for prom?? :ion to a captaincy. R?cord of Both Officers. Washington. D.

KM PATTERSON MISTRIAl After Thirteen Hours cf Deliberation Jury is Discharged, TH1RDTRIALOFACCUSED ACTRESS End of a Long and Expensive Legal Battle?"N?n" Faint8 Upon Hearing tho News and is Carried Back to the Touibs? Review of the Case?Recorder Goff Presided at Last Hearing. New York City.?Tho jury which has been trying Nan Patterson, the "Florodora" girl accused of the murder of Caesar Young, a bookmaker, on June 4 last, reported a final disagreement at 2.30 o'clock in the morning. The jury was then discharged. Nan Patterson was brought into court at 1.40 o'clock. The jury then reported that they wore unable to agree, but after a long talk between the Recorder and the j foreman, in which the Recorder laid stress upon the great expense to which the county had been in the three trials, the jury was sent back again, and Nan Patterson, who had been hastily summoned and was now almost in u fainting condition, was led back to her cell. When the jury came in at 1.30 after deliberating thirteen hours the court officers called, "Hats off!" Everybody was on tiptoe. Assistant District Attorney Rand came in with his associate, Mr. Garvan, and Attorney O'Reilly took his seat beside the vacant chair which was awaiting Nan I Patterson. The Recorder asked the foreman if the jury had been able to agree. "We have not," he replied. "I am j convinced thai there is no hope of an j agreement." . When the Recorder ascended the bench the defendant had not yet arrived and he called upon the court officer to explain her absence. "She is ill," the man said. "Is the Sheriff in court?" asked the Recorder. "He is not. I went myself for Nan j Patterson and was then informed that j she was ill," spoke up another court I officer. The Recorder then ordered a court I officer to go to the Tombs and bring the defendant into court if she was able to come. In a little while the Deputy Warden returned and said-that the Tombs matron was dressing the prisoner. j At last Nan Patterson came in, after ! fully ten minutes. She was on the I verge of collapse, and could hardly | drag one foot after the other. An atj tendant on cach side fairly lifted her I into her place. Recorder Goff then whispered someI thiug in the ear of Clerk Brophy. who i then announced that if there was any demonstration at any announcement that might be made the disturber would be immediately arraigned on a charge of contempt of court. Recorder Goff then read a communication from the jury. The missive said: ' After careful consideration of all the evidence in the case we have reached the point where we believe there is no likelihood that we shall agree." The Recorder then asked the foreman if he thought there was any possibility that they could be able to reach a verdict after further deliberation. "I hardly think so," answered the foreman. The jury retired, and in about fifteen minutes sent word to Recorder Goff that it desired to report again. Again Nan Patterson was sent for and brought into the courtroom. She was still in a weakened condition and had to be supported to a chair. The Recorder seemed displeased at the result and asked that the question be put to each juror separately. Ejich juror gave the same reply, "There is no hope of an agreement." "Have you anything to say?" the Recorder asked Mr. Rand. "Nothing." The same question was put to coun sel for the defendant, and then tue jury was discharged. As the jury started out Nan Patterson fell from her chair in a faint. Her couusel and the guards picked her up and bore her back to the Tombs, to which the Recorder liad remanded her. Kevioxr of the Case. "Xan" Randolph Patterson was accused of shooting her lover, "Caesar" Young a race track bookmaker, while riding in a cab in New York City on the way to an oev?an steamer on which Young was to sail for Europe with his wife on the morning of June 4. 1904. No actual witnesses of the shooting I appeared and the indictment and prosecution was based upon purely circumstantial evidence. After indictment by the Grand Jury the defendant was brought to trial before Justice Vernon M. Davis, Assist I ant District Attorney Rand prosecuting, and the law firm of Levy & Unger | defending her. A mistrial resulted, one of the jurors falling ill. After a second trial before Justice Davis a disagreement resulted. The entire prosecution is said to have cost the couuty and State over $100,000. Expect to Raise Sunken Ships.

Thieves Believed to Have Left Main Road and Escaped Through Woods?Other Recent Burglaries. J Oneonta, N. Y.?A band of masked robbers drove into the village of Gilbertsville, aboat eighteen miles from ^ here, at 3 o'clock in the morning, blew open with dynamite a safe in the private bank of E. C. Brewer, and made good their escape with booty estimated at between $5000 and $10,000. ? When the startled villagers were \ g awakened by the muffled roar of the jj explosion and liad been halted by tine a pistol fire of the retreating ^bandits, si they found that the robbers had com- * pletely isolated Gilbertsville from the h outside world by cutting all the tele- P graph and telephone wires. Efforts to * communicate with neighboring towns ? were futile, and when the village folk ? finally started in pursuit, tho robbers had gained a lead which could not be made up. Teams which had been stolen from horn? nnd nspfl hv the robbers in their approach to the village and their sub- ? sequent flight were found abandoned * by the roadside. Daylight found the bandits not far from Gilberisville, and it is believed they then left the highway and went Into the woods afoot. a It was believed there were live men in the band. That all were heavily "V armed was shown by the frequency of their fire when the first cf the villagers arrived in the vicinity of the bank. The u men first pried open the front door of ? the bank. Two holes were then drilled h into the heavy steel doors of the newly c installed "burglar-proof' safe, and into these the explosive was Inserted. The J explosion wrecked the safe and shat- ? tered every window in the building, Portions of the safe were found many e yards from the building. n The robbers gathered up all the P money they could find and started on ? a run just as the first of the awakened j villagers reached the scene. Plans for c pursuit were quickly made. Postmas- t ter W. S. Root and C. P. Root, his a brother, started for Mt. Upton, the * nearest railroad- station, six miles * away. They had gor.e but half a mile r when they came upon a team hitched ( to a telegraph pole. One of the horses f had become entangled in the harness i and thrown himself. The robbers apparently had made an attempt to right t the harness in the darkness, but finally j s .thanfinned the effort and made off. The | e team proved to have been stolen from t a neighboring barn. & Continuing on their way Postmaster c Root and his brother came upon a onehorse surrey near Mount Upton. An i axle of the vehicle was broken, and a e short distance away was the horse, be- i longing to a farmer In the vicinity, and t taken from his barn during the night 1 It was believed that after this vehicle i failed them the robbers made their < way into the woods, as no further trace ? of them could be found. Binghamton, N. Y.?It is certain that ~ three of the men who committed the ? Gilbertsvill? robbery are the profes- * sional postoffico and bank burglars who 3 blew open the safe of the postofflce at I Port Dickinson, adjoining this city, some days ago.
