AVALANCHE OF GORE ONLY “COMMON LAW” WIFE. Flows in Streets of Lodz Dur ing Fierce Rioting. , CORPSES PILED IN HEAPS Notorious “Rod Sunday" In 8t. Pe tersburg is Ttotally Eclipsed by Bloody Scenes In Russian Poland City. Advices from Lodz. Russian Poland, state tbat since the arrival of rein forcements Saturday morning fighting in tho city stopped, but the outbreak is by no means Quelled and fresh col lisions are expected momentarily. Es timates of the number of victims vary, but the slaughter was appalling, the Cossacks and troops firing at close range into great crowds. Some esti mates fix the number of killed aad wounded at 2,000. The city resembles a shambles and the terrible scenes of Thursday and Friday will never be wiped from the memory of the Polish people. Alto gether there are ten regiments en camped In Lodz. Saturday at Baluty, a suburb of Lodz, four Cossacks were killed and sixteen others wounded by a homo which was thrown into their barracks. Twenty-three of their horses were killed. The funerals of victims of the shoot ing of Thursday and Friday took place Saturday surreptitiously in various outlying villages. The trouble began at Lodz Tuesday after the funeral of the victims of the conflict between troops and terrorists the previous Sunday. The Christians were permitted to bury their dead, but the Jews were prohibited from doing so, and the police secretly in terred the bodies of the Jews at night, which excited indignation and terror ists riots were initiated Thursday. The most serious phase of the riot ing developed when the crowd delib erately pillaged liquor shops and num bers of persons, Inflamed by drink, led a crowd of at least 50,000 to fur ther and more serious attacks. Police and military were attacked wherever they appealed in small force and In dividual members were killed. After pillaging the liquor shops the crowd set Are to them and prevented Jthe firemen from extinguishing the "Hazes. This was repeated deliberate- ^atjaan^^laces Spicy Testimony in Suit Against Mil llonairs Oliver for Alimony. The biggest alimony case ever filed In Fulton county, Georgia, was be gun early Saturday morning before Judge John T. Pendleton, in the civil branch of the superior court at At lanta, and the allegations are sensa tional and spicy. Mrs. Nonnie Oliver, an Atlanta wo man, Is suing WHUain J. Oliver, a mil lionaire railroad builder of Knoxville, Tenn., for $160,000 alimony, alleging that she is his common law wife. Oil ver, in turn, makes sensational charg er against the woman's character ahd alleges tbat the suit is an effort to blackmail him. Mrs. Oliver, who was a Miss Rasp berry, of Atlanta, alleges that in the presence of her mother and brother, Oliver took her hand, in March, 1903, and said: "This is my vife. She has made me what I am. and she is my wife.” Mrs. Oliver exhibited in court a number of letters from Oliver, ad dressed to her as Mrs. Nonnie Oliver, and signed as "Your Loving Will.” Upon the stand Mrs. Oliver testified* that Oliver told her the reason he did not want a marriage ceremony performed was because his first wife had been dead but a few months, and he did not wish to have public senti ment against him by marrying so soon. She said he showered money bn her, giving her $500 a month. Upon cross-examination Mrs. Oliver admitted testimony not to her credit. The names of a number of prominent Augusta people were mentioned dur ing the progress of the trial. She admitted tbat while conducting a house in Augusta she had known Oli ver and swore that he had cut her throat there. She stated that she had been arrested In Augusta, but that her fine had been remitted when she left that city. Mrs. Oliver is about 45 years of age. She is rather stout and very dark, almost swarthy. Oliver, the defend ant in the rase, is reputed to be worth considerably over a million dollars. He is a railroad contractor, living in Knoxville, Tenn., and has a wife and two children. He appeared great ly worried at the publicity of the case. RUSSIANS ON THE RUN! on Friday t*^ *ury of the mob found 'full vent and even children caught by the contagion were seen kissing red flags and heard swearing that they were ready to die for liberty. A Jew ish girl mounted a box in the mar ket square and addressed an immense crowd. , Suddenly the police appeared, fired a volley and the girl fell dead. Mar ket gardeners coming in were stopped and their carts used in building bar ricades. Wires were stretched in front of these barricades and the cavalry were unable to charge. Mean while the mob had secured arms and revolvers were freely used. Finally the military secured the upperhand, but not without considerable losses to themselves and fearful slaughter to the rioters. The soldiers exhibited the utmost carelessness as to whether they killed peaceful persons or rioters and as a consequence many women and children were among the dead. Sunday’s dispatches stated that the most serious phase of the fighting between the military and strikers is at an end, but there are still isolated attacks in the suburbs. At Baluty, Sunday morning, Cossacks attacked a Jewish family of five persons, who were driving in a cab to the railway station, and shot and killed all, in cluding the cabman. At Pabjanice, near Lodz, workmen attacked two po licemen and shot and killed one and wounded the other. There is a gen eral exodus from Lodz. Twelve thou sand persons have already left and j all trains are crowded. Tokio Hears of Jap Successes Plains of Manchuria. The following official dispatch was received in Tokio Sunday from the Japariese headquarters in Manchuria: “The enemy holding the northwest eminence of Manchenzou was attack ed and dislodged in the afternoon of June 22, but a portion of the enemy holding the hills to the west offered stubborn resistar^ — J finally ^ken by assault.

Births in New York city at the rate of one every five minutes are lecorded by the health department for the past week during which period 2,011 were reported. It was announced at the health de partment that the birth rate of New York has now risen to about 31 per 1,000, and is higher than any other city in the United States. Five or six years ago, when there was so much talk about the race suicide, ths birth rate was only 26 per 1,000. KILLED HER FOUR CHILDREN. Colorado Woman Enacts Dreadful Tragedy and Attempts Suicide.

WORK OF A TRAIN WRECKER. The regular vacation of the court of general sessions in New York will be suspended this yew so that the court may be available if District At torney Jerome begins prosecution in connection with the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This action was taken upon the request of District Attorney Jerome. District Attorney Jerome, in making his motion to suspend the court’s va cation, said he had a letter from Governor Higgins, offering to place the evidence obtained by the superin tendent of insurance, Hendricks, at Mr. Jerome’s disposal. Mr. Jerome added: “It is my desire to have that evi dence, and it is my intention to go through it very thoroughly. "The widespread attention called to this matter makes it mandatory on me to examine the whole affair. I am not in a position to know whether there has teen a violation of the law, but it is my duty to find out. Before the governor addressed his letter to me I had the matter under con sideration, having sent for a copy of the official report of the investiga tion. It may be that there is noth ing in this affair to call for the action of this court. "It is unusual for the governor to address such a letter as this to the district attorney, and it focuses pub lic atteation pon me. I have made arrangements with Justice Day of the criminal branch of the supreme court, and he will continue the June term of that court through the summer. The powers of both courts can, if neces sary, be invoked. It will take me some time to learn whether I will need the assistance of the courts or not.” Attorney Julius M. Meyer was at his office Friday engaged in going over the proceedings of the investiga tion of the Equitable Society. When asked how soon he would begin ac tion against the Equitable officers scored in the Hendricks report., Mr. Meyer replied: "Action will be taken as soon as.it ^ physically possible, and it will not a matter of weeks, but of only have I got to go over the dricks report, but the testimony which preceded that report upon which the report is based.” He was of an opinion that separate action would be taken, one for the restitution of the funds wrongfully elicited and another for the debarment proceedings against officers of the so ciety. In commenting on this phase of the situation, Mr. Meyer said: "This is a novel action, and It is the first time in the history of the state of New York where a debarment proceedings against officials of insur ance companies will have been taken. Under the insurance law the applies tion of which has never yet been put in practice, the attorney general has power to debar officers of an in surance company who have been found derelict in their duty, and this debar ment not only precludes them from holding positions as officers, but also debars them from acting as directors not only in the company from which they have been debarred, but from any other insurance company doing busi ness within the confines of the state, and the attorney general is the one to enforce the action.” Vesuvius Preparing for Business. The prefect of Naples has ordered the population in the vicinity of Mount Vesuvius to prepare to leave their houses, owing to an alarming increase in the discharges from the crater. GOVERNOR CARTER RESIGNS. Chief Executive of Hawaii Deems It Expedient to Give Up Office. It became known in Honolulu Friday Gov. Carter had mailed his resig nation to President Roosevelt. He will leave June 28 for Washington to discuss the matter of his retirement. Governor Carter says the resigna tion was the culmination of a long series of events which led him to the conclusion that he could be of more service to the territory of Ha waii outside the gubernatorial chair than in that position. MORE RIOTING IN LODZ. JEROME TO TAKE A HAND Governor Higgins, in Letter to New York District Attorney, Suggests Such Action—Case Without a Parallel. Troops Shoot Down Many Strikers in Russian Poland City—Martial Law Will Be Declared. A dispatch from Lodz, Russian Po land, under date of June 23, is as fol lows: “Since early this morning this city has been in & state of panic. The strike is general and all the fac tories and shops are closed. Barri cades have been erected at many points. Rifle volleys and revolver shots are heard continually. Many persons have been killed or wounded, but it is impossible at present to as certain the number with any exacti tude, owing to the general character of the disturbances. The mob sacked a nr/her of liquor stores and broke street lamps. Street railroad traffic Is interrupted.” A later dispatch says: “Troops have stormed the barricades erected in the principal streets by the strikers. Fifty persons have been killed and two hun dred wounded. Martial law will be declared.” According to advices received in St. Petersburg the situation in Poland is again exceedingly serious. Censored dispatches from Lodz, though, giving few details, indicate that fierce street fighting was in progress Thursday be tween the military and the striking workmen, who baricaded the thor oughfares in various quarters of the city and offered resistance, which, the troops met with volleys. The list of dead and wounded presumably is heavy, but not even an estimate has yet been received, Russian corre spondents telegraphing that the streets are entifely in the hands of the military and the mob, and tha* it is unsafe to venture out to obtain details. Lodz has been in a turmoil for sev eral days. The strike, which em braces 60,000 workers, appears to have entirely lost its economic nature, ana is now a vast political manifestation. All forms of public business activity have been suspended, the peaceful in- habitaants remaining indoors in fear of their lives. The political zeal of the manifestants has become inflamed by intoxicants from the vodka shops, which were broken into and pillaged. At Warsaw a strike has commenced and disorders are looked for and thc» trial of Okrjey, who threw a bomb at a police station March 26, will prob ably result in other bomb outrages. A man was arrested Thursday riGfft- ing, armed with a bomb, which' wa9 ' evidently intended to be used in ifourt during the trial. I SOUTH CAROLINA l l STATE NEWS ITEMS.

The protected cruised Charleston, which is to undergo speed and endur ance tests off the coast, has arrived at the harbor of Princetown, Mass. A representative of the Newport News Shipbuilding ana Dry Dock company, which built the vessel, reported that on her pasage up the coast, the cruis er averaged 22 knots an hour, which is the speed called for in the govern ment contract. Charged With. Murderous Assault. Thomas J. Davenport was arrested a few days ago at his home in New berry county by Sheriff M.' M. Bu ford on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Daven port was released later In the day on a bond of $5,000. M. A. Carlisle and James McIntosh of Newberry are the bondsmen. The offense for which Davenport was arrested, it is charged, was com mitted last July, Smith receiving a bullet wound through his body as a re sult of an altercation between the men about a plantation road. For a long time the life of the wounded man was despaired of. Davenport is a prominent farmer of the county. Smith is an extensive planter, and is a member of Governor Heyward’s staff. Davenport’s bond was given for his appearance at the next term of court at Newberry. ng ington was officially advised rwu that as the result of the investigation into alleged frauds in connection^ with the government of the Chickasaw na tion, Indian Territory, ex-Governor Moseley, Treasurer Ward and Govern or Johnson of the Chickasaw naMon; United States Marshal Colbert, Ank er Purdom and Attorneys Mansijeld, McMurray and Cornish and have been indicted for re-is school and general fund warranty the Chickasaw nation. j The school warrants were isgi j in lieu of immediate payments fo^ rious educational purposes. A co; erable amount of these had accum ed, and congress at its last se appropriated $330,000 of the Ch saw nation funds to meet their meat. The estimate made at th terior department is that so far now known about $60,000 of school warrants have been fraudt ly reissued. Sunday Freight Trains Barred. A Columbia dispatch says: The wave of , moral rectitude sweeping over then state and threatening to throttle the dispensary has reached nd enveloped and arrested Sunday eight trains through the instruren- ity of the railroad commission, ch issued an order forbidding any freight: train to run any hour on Sun day is in the fact that he hired two negroes to work on the farm, and protected them, even allowing them to sleep on his premises. Granger was respected, and had many friends, but appears to have angered a certain element that had made it a risky thing for a negro to enter the “dead stretch, which is said to He between Bayboro and Loris. Another account says: The idea of race prejudice having been the cause of the death of Preacher Granger, who was shot from ambush near Loris, Horry county, appears to be dissipat ed by the coroner's verdict, which places the blame for the killing upon Commander Johnson, a man with a grudge against Granger and a wo man who is lodged in jail as an ac complice. No other arrests have been made. Navy Yard Row at Charleston. A Washington dispatch says: Act ing Secretary of the Navy Darling conducted a hearing in the matter of the alleged differences between Civil Engineer Walker of the navy, and the New York Continental Jewell Filtra tion company, in connection with the construction of the dock at the navy yard at Charleston, S. C., for which that company has the contract. It has been claimed by the con tractors that Lieutenant Walker was too severe in his exactions in certain particulars. An order was recently is sued transferring him to another sta tion, but an appeal was made to the president to have Lieutenant Walker retained at the Charleston yards, when the president directed that the order for his transfer be held up until he had been advised of all the facts In the case. It was claimed that the lieutenant only did what he deemed to be his duty. Those heard on behalf of the com pany were: John Coughey and W. P Anderson, president and vice president respectively of the company, and the company’s consulting engineer. Lieu tenant Walker and Civil Engineer Harris, who also was attached to the Charleston yard, gave their ments. Communications addressed to the president on this subject will be con sidered by Mr. Darling in connection with statements made at the hearing. The acting secretary declined to en ter into details of the case as laid be fore him, and would not indicate what conclusions he had reached, as he will make a full report to the pres- j ident on the subject.

"City of Columbia” Launched. Nearly every business house in Co lumbia was closed for a half day in order that all citizens might have an opportunity to witness the launch ing of “The City of Columbia,” the steamer building there, which will ply on the Congaree river between Co lumbia and Georgetown. W. A. Clarg, president of the chab v ber of commerce, delivered an address in which he recited the efforts of Co- fumbia’s business men have made in opening the Congaree to navigation. As the boat glided down the ways, Miss Janie Murray .daughter of Dr. W. J. Murray, president of the Colum bia, Georgetown and New York Steam- boat company, broke a bottle of champagne and christened the boat “The City of Columbia.” But for a slight accident the launch ing would have been a complete suc cess.
