In disturbances in various quarters of
Warsaw today. The troops apparently
were uncontrollable and violated all
orders to act with moderation. They
fired into crowds of demonstrators
and workmen in retaliation resorted to
the use of fire arms and bombs.. Many
women and children are among the
dead and dying. What approaches a

No untoward Incident was reportted
until afternoon. The first disturb
ances occurred between 1 and 2
o'clock p. m., when a procession of
iseveral thousand workmen carrying
"red flags marched along Zelazna
street. The demonstration was quite
orderly and proceeded without mo
lestation for some distance. Suddenly
several squadrons of Uhlans-appeared
but without interfering with the pro
cession.and took up a position along
the sidewalks while the workmen
passed through the lines. Then a
company of Infantry approached from
the front, and Immediately the cavelry
charged into the procession, driving
it with the flat of their swords into a
disorganized mass. When the cavalry
withdrew the infantry fired a volley5,
whereupon the demonstrators turned
and fled. The Infantry continued to
discharge volleys into the retreating,
shrieking multitude. Thirty-one per
sons were killed and many wounded,
and of the latter It is believed that fif
teen will die.
The shooting Is described as having
been quite unprovoked. It has arous-
ed the most intense Indignation among
all classes In Warsaw. .Many of those
who were Kinea or wounded were
shot lh the back, showing thaKthey
were running away when they were
struck.
Another terrible scene was enacted
at 5 o clock p. m., at the corner of
- Zlota and Sosnore streets, when work
men fired from behind a wall at a
" patrol, which, immediately opened Are
on the passing crowds,. killing
wounding twenty persons.

The first bomb throwing occurred at
9:35 o'clock tonight, when a bomb, was
thrown Into a Cossack patrol near the
Vienna station. Three Cossacks and
one policeman were killed and two
women who were leaving the station
at the time were severaly wounded by
the explosion of the bomb. Cossacks
ana infantry fired a number of vol-
leyfe, and it is reported that many
persons were killed or wounded.

At 10 : 45 o'clcok p. m., dsturbances
broke out at the Zombokowska gate
of the suburb of Praga, across the
Vistula river, A great crowd had as
sembled there, threatening the troops,
when Hussars fired upon the crowd
and killed four and wounded many
others. ,
It was reported by telephone from
Lodz this afternoon that a crowd there
had stoned a military patrol, where
upon the soldiers fired and killed two
men and wounded a boy. Later a
similar scene occurred in Baluki
Square ,in Lodz, when two "persons,
were killed. .
In Lodz also, at 9 o'clock tonight, a
bomb was thrown at a patrolj but it
was not effective. The patrol fired
into the crowd and killed three and
wounded two persons.
A student who was disturbing
proclamations in Wola, a suburb of
Warsaw tonight, was killed by a
patrol.
In Nawrot, street, Warsaw tonight,
a patrol killed a woman.
Today's bloodshed Is likely to overy
seriously affect the situation and may
cause a general strike. The temper of
the people is at white heat and there
is much apprehension regarding the
possible events of May 5th, the 114th
anniversary of the proclamation of the
Polish constitution, when disturbances
and demonstrations always occur. To
night there is every indication ot
trouble. All the ground that had been
gained since the disturbances of last
January has now been lost. Passenger
trains are leaving Warsaw tonight and
these are crqwede with refugees and

VAGUE RUMOR OF
ELECTION TODAY
Nobody Knows, Notody Voted,
and Candidates Average

Public Stays Away From Polls,
Saloons Close and Repub
licans Look Sad
It was rumored about, town today
that a municipal election was being
held but diligent inquiry on the part
of The Sun failed to verify the re
port. Finally a disgusted salocn-keep"
er, on being asked why " he was not'
dispensing red-eye cr corn liquor at a
dime per three fingers, announced that
the reason for the same was that the
elecion is . being pulled off and all
saloons therefore are closed. '
There are .presumably, polling
places open- in each ward and The
Sun was informed by telephone at
one o'clock by a hilarious Boyden man
that up to date the returns from his
ward he did not say which indicat
ed that Boyden had a clear majority
of two . votes in the ward and was
thus elected, unanimously, whether or
not anybody voted in the other wards.
No red devils or other motor cars
were needed today to drag the hesit
ating voter to the polls. People Just
naturally- stayed away and did not
seem to give a hurrah whether anyV
body were elected or not. The alder
manic candidates got scared that they
might not get any votes a all and It

CHANGES IN LAKE LEVELS
(Cleveland Leader.)
There is nothing surprising in the
announcement that Canadian commis
sioners who are Investigatling waters
adjacent to tfie American-Canadian
boundary line express deep interest
in the effect many public and private
improvements are having, or will have,
upon the level of lakes and streams,
the use of which the dominion holds
in common . with the ' United States.
There 'would seem to be good reason
for carrying Into effect the suggestion
heretofore made that a bin&tional
commisssion should be appointed that
snould have charge of the navigable
waters under the dual sovereignty and
without whose permission no notewor
thy diversion of waters or change of
levels would be possible.

Manning, May 1. Mrs. Caroline
Bost died at her home Saturday' night -
after a short illness with dropsy.
Although she had been in failinjr
health for a' year, yet she did not taka
to her bed till a few days before her
death. On Easter Sunday before she
partook of the, Lord's Supper around
the' family altar, and little did her
pastor then think a week hence her .
spirit would be with God who gave
it. At best our days are few and
full of trouble.. Mrs, Bost was bora
January 1 1831, being of age 74 years
3 months and 28 days. She Is surviv
ed by one daughter, 3Irs L. W. Lingle
and her aged" husband who now is
nearly, eighty, and who for four years
past , has-suffered the total loss of his
eyesight. She also leaves six grand
children, and four great-grandchildren
These with her many relatives and
host of friends, mourn the loss of a
kind Christian woman A loss to us
but her eternal gain, v In 1850 she was
married to Moses A. Bost and was the
mother "of seven children, all ofwhlch
withone exception have preceeded her
to the spirit world. She was received
Into the Lutheran church In Infancy
by baptism, was catechlseed and con
flrmend in Organ Churchby the lament
ed Dr. Samuel Rathrock in 1846. She
was at this time 15 years of age, and '
was one of a class of 75 young persons
confirmed at this place and time. In
this communion she was .faithful and"
constant until death. Later she with
her husband moved her membership to
Salem. She was a devoted Lutheran,,
and to the very last was a faithful
attendant upon public worship In
many respects she was an ideal church
member, model : Christian, "devoted
wife, kind mother, good neighbor and
was blest with" a modest and reserved -disposition.
By her Christian charact

precept as by example, and the in
fluence she exerted in the community,
f though silent, was effective, and Will
continue , to bear fruit since, she - has
pasSed away and there ' are but few
to take their places. In such lives of
faith and consecration is manifested
the satisfying and sustaining power o
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and Is
fresh and inspiration for us yet in
the. flesh. Sunday at 4 p. m., a large
concourse of people assembled to pay
their last respects to her memory, and
to testify to the esteem in which she
was held as neighbor and citizen. The
funeral services were conducted from
the church by .her pastor, Rev. H JL
Trexler, assisted by Rev. C. La Miller,
of Chestnut Hill. The interment was
made in the cemetery near the church
Her place is now, we believe among
