BLOODY WAVE j:
ROLLING BACK,
The Shaine of Russia.
Stories Come of Horrors Almost Un
thinkable. At Temskthe Popula
tion ar.d Military Stand by
and Watch 600 People
Die In a Blazing
Theatre.
St. Peterburg, Nov. 8.?(2:00
p. m.)?The revolutionary wave
continues to subside except in
the Caucause.
As details of what happened
throughout European Russia
during the upheaval arrive the
story grows more revolting.
In the Baltic provinces murder,
riot and incendiarism prevail.
In Poland even the clergy,
Catholic and Protestant, par
ticipated in the manifestations in
favor of the autonomy of the j
ancient kingdom. In south
western Russia hardly a city or
town escaped Jewish massacres.
At Tomsk, Siberia, according
to the latest reports received
here, the whole population of
40,000 and the military stood
by while six hundred men, women
and children were burned in a
theatre. The court house at
Tomsk and the mayor's resi
dence, where the students and
revolutionists took refuge from
the mob were burned and those
who tried tolly were killed in the
streets.
In Moscow the Social revolu
tionist and t.he Black Hundred
and the Cossacks and police
force fought bloody battles.
The decent of the butchers of
Moscow with their knives and
axes upon the students, was one
of the most horrible chapters
but not as pitiful., however, as1
the attack of the Black Hundred
on a procession of school children
carrying red hags. When the I
school children sought to escape,
a cordon of police barred the way
and the youthful martyrs were
beaten into insensibillity and in
some cases actually torn to
pieces.
In the Alexander Gardeu at
Moscow, Cossacks lay in ambush
in the shrubbery and set upon
their victims with whips. Many
were beaten to death and others
were hardly able to crawl away.
The reports from theCaucaus
show there is no immediate pros
pect of suppressing the present
state of anarchy. Battles be
tween Tartars and Armenians
continue, and the distruction of
the railroads and lack of troops
make it impossible for the auth
orities to cope with thesituatiou.
Count W'it.te is continuing
negotiations with the Zetnsto
Constitutionalist party with
brighter prospects of at least
partial success. He makes no
concealment of the fact that he
regards their support as being
almost vital to the achievement
of the task which he is under
taking. The court is now hold
ing a series of conferences with
Priuce Eugene Troubetsoy,
brother of the late I'riuce Sergi
us Troubetskoy and the idol of
the party whom theCount wishes
to take the portfolio of education,
and with Prince Polgoroukoff, i
Prof. Miliukoff and M. Stakovich
who were summoned from Mos
cow and M. Struve, editor of the
Osvohojdenie, the organ of
"emancipation," published in I
Paris, who arrived here last!
night after four years exile in the
cause of freedom.
The conservative wing of the (
party Is becoming less intrau
sigeant in its attitude toward
Count Witte, although demand
ing the fulfillment of certain con-,
ditious before givin" im open

primarily on the removal of the j
"wolves" of the old regime as J
they term the governors and |
police officials of many provin-i
ces and cities who are not in
sympathy with the new order of
things and who are charged v?itii(
deliberately inciting the worst
elements of the population with
the full connivance of the police (
aud troops under their control
to make attacks upon the "in
tellectuals" and Jews which have
filled the country with tales of
horrow and bloodshed for the
last ten days. This condition, (
Count Witte is anxious personal- j
ly to meet, as he fully realizes
that the obnoxious officials are
obstacles in his own path. With :
the Count's promise to support
a demand for a constituent as
sembly when the national asseru-!
bly meets in, January some are
content, and a distinct dispo
sition is manifested on the part!
of certain leaders to hold up j
Count Witte's hands and work
with him in the introduction of
the new regime.
Odessa, Nov. 8.?Outward calm
has returned here but the tension
is still great. Reports that the
Jews are preparing for terrible
vengeance on the Christians are
being industriously circulated
among the lowest and most
ignorant classes, and it is feared
they may lead to a recrudescence
of anarchy. These reports de
clare that the Jews intend to
blow up the churches and distri
bute poisoned food stuffs to the
Christians.
Prefect Niedhardt to whom
much of the responsibility of last
week's occurrences is attributed
is still in office despite urgent de-,
mands for his removal. Appre- j
hensive of fresh outbreaks the
city council has secured the
promise of the governor general
to place military guards at all
places where numbers of Jews
recently rendered homeless are
now being sheltered.
Stopped the Fakirs.
Sheriff B. A. Home gave a rep
resentative of Van Amburg
Show, which exhibited at Mon
roe Tuesday, some straight talk
that was needed and which did a
whole lot of good. When the
representative of the show called
on Sheriff Home to pay State j
and county tax, he told the offi
cer that there were seine "little |
trix" with the show, but that the
officers were always fixed about
those things and that it would be
all right. Sheriff Home theu
proceeded to make a few broken
remarks. He told the showman
that he bad heard of his "little
trix" and that information had
reached him of certain gambling '
and fake concerns along with the
show. "Now, see here," said the
sheriff. "I have a number of
deputies out yonder at the show
grounds and if there is any |
gambling, skin games or faking
carried on out there, the whole
push goes to the jug " The show
man promised to be good. There
has gone up a great hue and cry
from some other places where
this show has been, about peo
ple being fleeced by fakirs around
the show, but there was none of
that kind of business here.
Doubtless the few and pointed
remarks of the officer is responsi
ble for this state of affairs while
the show was here. There were
a number of regular and special
officers out at the giounds last
Tuesday itching to arrest a
fakir.?Monroe Enquirer.

RELIEF FOR ODESSA VICTIMS.
Eight Hundred Families Ruined and
Wealthy Merchants Bankrupt.
Odessa, Nov. 7.?Odessa con
tinues quiet. Railroad traffic is.
entirely restored.
The town council and the
newspapers have opened collec
tions in behalf of the victims of
laet week's slaughter- The mun
icipality headed the list with
f12,500, and has established
temporary refuges and food
kitchens.
The losses total many millions, i
and no less than 800 families
are ruined. Some wealthy mer
chants have been reduced to
poverty.
The newspapers inconsequence
of the governor's warning, ap
peared to-day without a word of
reference to the greatest disaster
which has visited Odessa since
its foundation.
1 he Archbishop 01 Odessa has
published an appeal to the
Christians, denouncing the mas
sacres and invoking peace.
The reactionary mayor, Kryz
hanovsky; Chief of Police Golo
vin, and Curator of educational
Institutions Solsky have re
signed.
Four hundred and four Jews,
victims of the massacres of last
week, were buried today. A
majority of theshops wereclosed,
including to Christians. The
scenes of grief were heartrending
and almost indescribable as the
bodies were placed in trenches,
each trench containing seventy.
Similar funerals will continue for
three days. Some 240 of the
bodies were in such a condition
that they could not be recog-;
ni?ed.
On each grave wreaths were
placed, bearing the inscription:
"Martyrs to the Faith.?Victims j
of the Autocracy."
A Boy and His Sweet Heart.
Many years ago one of the best i
of mothers fell "asleep at the
gates of light." All of her chil
dren, of course, revered her
memory; but one of them was
the babe of war time birth, and
owiug to the anxieties and ex
citements of the period, and the\
continued absence of the father, j
extraordinary affection and de
votion was, doubtless, lavished
upon him.
Perhaps it was because of this
that after the mother's death,
and for many years, this boy
never retired for the night with
out placing at his bedside a chair,
under the childish impression
that his mother would occupy it
and watch him to sleep.
When other boys would write
in sand or carve on trees the
names of sweethearts dear, this
lad would trace with knife or
stick the name of his sweet heart
?his mother's name.
When but a boy he chose his
sweet heart's name as one to be
given to his own daughter; and
when in later years he wrote
some tales of love and life, his
heroine, good and true, bore with
signal honor and renown the
name he loved so well. So,
through boyhood's days this
precious memory was enshrined
within his heart; the purity, the
devotion, the sacrifices, the sor
rows of this patient, God loving
and God serving woman wasever
before him, often deterring him
from evil and sometimes inspir
ing hiui for good.
"Happy he with such a mother!
Faith in womankind beats witu
his blood, and trust in all things I
high comes easy to him."?Rich
ard L. Metcalfe.
"I Thank the Lord!"
cried Hannah Plant, of Little
liock, Ark., "for the relief I got
from Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It
cured mv fearful running sores,
which nothing else would heal,
and from which I had suffered
for 5 years." It is a marvelous}
healer for cuts, burns and:
wounds. Guaranteed at Hood j

HENDERSON COLE LEAVES US
Accepts Position As General Mana
ger of the Wilmington Furni
ture Company.
Mr Henderson Cole took his
final leave of our town for Wil
mington, his new home, last Sun
day. We regret to lose Mr. Cole
from our midst. For several
years he has been a citizen of
Smithfield, during which tine- he
has ranked as one of our leading
bu-iness men. He has been iden
tifled with manv of the town's
enterprises, leading in some of
them.
Mr. Cole is, and has been for
quite a while, secretary and
treasurer of the Chamber of Com
merce; secretarv and treasurer of
The J. H. Edgerton Co., Presi
dent of the Johnston County
Fair Association; an Executive
man of the North Carolina Agri
cultural Society; and S. W. Fel
lowship Lodge No. 84 A. F. &
A. M.
if- n. i t_ i
w mm i.ur. ooie nas maae a suc
cess of everything he has under
taken, he reached the climax as
owner and manager of theSmith
field Furniture Company. His
furniture business increased by
leaps and bounds until it became
one of the leading furniture
houses in Eastern North Caro
lina. He shipped (juantities of
goods along the Wilmington &
Weldon railroad and into Wil-)
mington, as far south as Dillon, j
S. C., and as far west as Durham
and Henderson. He kept him
self thoroughly posted as to j
every feature and detail of the |
furniture business. He is con
sidered a very good judge of
furniture and has always been re
garded by the manufacturers as
one of the cleverest buyers visit
ing the makets.
Air. Cole was the first president
of the North Carolina Retail
Furniture Dealers Association,
and was one of theleadingspirits
in its organization.
He goes to Wilmington to be
come Secretary and Treasurer
and General Manager of the Wil
mington Furniture Co. His
familiarity of goods, hissagacity
as a buyer, his inhereut propen
sity to sell cheap, are bound to
bring him success in his new Held.
He carries with him the confi
dence. the good will and the|
friendship of our people.
The Bosses Will Not Forget.
I was certain that the people
would not back up tne attempt;
of the bosses to force me from i
office. Coming as it does straight j
from the hands of the people, in
spite of the opposition of bosses (
and machines, my election is
peculiarly gratifying. The dis- j
trict attorney's uilice will goon
for four years more uuder my di-|
rection, uuder the same system j
that has prevailed forfouryears. I
There is nothing more to be'
said, save that it was a test oft
strength between corrupt bosses
on one side and an aroused pub
lic opinion on the other. There |
is no trifling with the people \
when they have been roused, and
my election is a lesson that the
bosses will not soon forget.?

Hearst to Contest.
New York, Nov. 8.?That a
bitter tight will be waged in the
courts to decide whether George
B. McGlellan or William Ran
dolph Hearst is to be mayor of
New York for the next four years
is now assured. The complete
returns give McClellan a plurality
of 3,485 votes, the smallest ever
recorded for a successful mayoral
ty, candidate and a result which
might readily be reversed by a
recount of the baBote, ^
Mr. Hearst today announced
his intention to take an immedi
ate appeal to the Supreme Court,
his managers having declared
that they had secured evidence
of illegal acts against 1,000 in
spectors of election, and that
30,000 Hearst men, who went to
the polis to vote for Mr. Hearst
had found that their names had
already been voted.
Most of this fraudulent voting
is said to have been done in East
side assembly districts, especially
in the eighteenth, Charles F.
Murphy's home district, and in
the sixth of which Timothy I>.
Sullivan is the leader.
Mr. Hearst's proposed action
met with warm approval in many
quarters, even among those who
opposed his election, and he re
ceived many assurances of sup
port. District Attorney Jerome
expressed himself in terms of
strong approval of Mr. Hearst's
program and declared that he
would immediately institute a
searching investigation of the
alleged Democratic frauds. He
also ordered the returns from the
eighteenth and sixth districts to
be carefully guarded.
Ira (i. Darrin, the newly elected
district attorney of Queens coun
try on the Republican ticket
made a similar statement. Wil
liam M. Ivins, the defeated Re
publican candidate for mayor,
also commended Mr. Hearst's
action, and expressed the belief
that a re-count would show that
Mr. Hearst had been elected.
After a secret session of the
executive committee of Tam
many Hall, held this afternoon,
the following statement was
issued:
"The executive committee of
the Democratic organization pro
tests against the outrageous
published threat of the defeated
candidate of the Municipal Own
ership League to overthrow the
will of the people, as expressed
by the vote cast on election day,
and directs, the committee to
exert its efforts and take such
steps and institute such proceed
ings as will safeguard theelection
of George B McClellan as mayor
of New York.
"We also call on the commis
sioner of police and thecustodian
of the baliot, to preserve the
same intact from all interference
by any one from any unauthoriz
ed source."
Home of the leaders, after the
meeting expressed the opiuion
that the returns showed censure
of Mr. Murphy's leadership aud
that he should, as a result, step
down and out, and make room
for a man against whom nothing
could be charged. They thought
that it was time for George B.
McClellan to assume the leader
ship himself.?Associated Dress.
