W ’ “dualism BUTCHERED ne Hundred and Fifty Thirty Are Dead and O I Seriously Injured I A despatch from Berlin says: Another meassacre of the Jews by the Russians has taken place at Kiev, according to information re- ceived on Wednesday by promin ent Jews of this city. The latest outrage began on last Thursday, the Jewish New Year’s Day, and lasted for three days, during which time 18 Jews were killed outright, 12 so severely inâ€" jured that they subsequently died. and 150 seriously injured. There were a thousand less-er casualties, besides the destruction of several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Jewish property. Tlie.chs had but «scant means of defending. themselves, and succeeded in kill ing but three of their Russian as- sailants and injuring a score. The reactionary party is respon~ sible for the latest anti-Jewmh outbreak. It became enraged at' the chs for their support of tne; reform movement, and decided to! inaugurate the Jewish New Year" with another attack on the Jew=, at Kiev, Russia. several of which have darkened Kiev’s history in the last few years. Hundreds of peasants were hirer.l by the reactionary party "and they led in the attack on the Jews. At the height of the mob’s frenzy.100 Jewish women and girls were seizou l.ythe drunken riotcrs, stripped of their clothes, chain-ed together in a long line. and paraded naked through the streets, while .the crowds of Russians jeered, rev1led and spat upon them. Two Jew1sh boys who sought to defend the wo- men against this outrage were seize-d by the leaders and thrown 'into a nearby bonfire that had been built of the plunder of sacked Jew- ‘ish houses, and roasted alive, while the mob danced about the flames. One of the first acts of the mob, , which had been made drunk before being turn-ed loose for the murder: ous work, was to rush to the syna- gogue, where the rabbi was butch- ered and the congregation driven from the building. The edifice was then demolished. W MRS. ROBINSON SENTENCED To be Hanged for the Murder of Two Grandchildren. ’ A despatch from Sudlbury says: At 11.30 on Fri-day night Mr. Jus- tice Ma'gee passed sentence on Mrs. Annie Robinson, that she be hanged on the 24th of November, for the murder of the infants of her two daughters, Jessie and El- len. Mr. Justice Magee expressed his extreme sorrow for the pitiful position of Mrs. Robinson, a weâ€" man of forty-five, he said, broken in mind and body and facing the most serious of all sentences. He spoke of the recommendations of the jury for mercy, but did not build up the prisoner’s hopes for executive clemency. Mrs. Robin- son stood in the corner of the dock, her elbows resting on the rail, and with bowed head buried her face in her handkerchief. Her tears and sobs were those of a broken heart. There is no doubt that every effort will be made to have the sentence commutedl. Feeling here is very strong for her. -__~_Jk_____ LOST IN FROZEN NORTH. Years A go. A despatch from Ottawa says: It is now almost certain that George Caldwell, an official of the Marine Department, of Ottawa, has perished in the Canadian North with two natives, who set out w1th him three years ago to cross Can- ada from Hudson Bay to the Great Slave Lake, and down to: Edmon- lton and civilization. When last heard of, .a white man, supposed to be Caldwell, was report-ed to be with two natives on Baker Lake, and making their way to the North- West Mounted Police post at Ful- lerton. It was hoped that they had spent the Winter at the post, and despatches from Fullerton were anxiously awaited. Word has now been received by the department that neither Caldwell nor his comâ€" panions have been seen or heard of at Fullerton. q«.__.__ wrrxnss BURNED our. _â€" Newspaper Suffered Heavy Loss. A despatch from Montreal says: The Montreal Witness office was Montreal Ottawa Oillcial Left on Trip guttered by fire, which broke out about 6.30 on Thursday night. The damage is estimated at from $50,- 000 to $75,000. Several neighbor- ing stores and offices also suffered. The fire was discovered at 6.30 by men working in the job room, but how it originated is a mystery. The flames began their work on the top floor, and in an incredibly short time the whole upper flat was wrecked. The- roof then fell ‘ in and added to the damage. Flames ate their way down through the other floors to the press room in the basement. In addition to the damage by fire, the loss by water will be considerable. Arrange- ments have been made with The Gazette to publish the paper for the present. There was an insur- ance of $150,000 on the building and contents. ' V TO BUILD hiEN-OF-WAR. A Montreal Company Will Estab- lish a Plant. A despatch from Montreal says: It is stated here that a. number of prominent shipping men are form- ing a big ship-building company. They are planning to build a plant capable of turning out men-of-war, and in fact every kind of steam- ship. Sir Montagu Allan, inter- viewed on Wednesday, admitted that many prominent Canadians had been discussing the project quietly for some time, and had promised to unite in financing the scheme. “There has been nothing definite done yet,” he said, “but I hope very shortly to see the com- pany well under way.” Sir Mon- tagu said that as yet no decision as to the site of a shipbuilding plant had been determined on, but admitted that a large one would undoubtedly be established. ___._,.‘,______ WALKED UNDER CAGE. S. Rindcll, a Young chdc. Has His Neck Broken at Cobalt. A despatch from Cobalt says: Rind-ell, a young Swede, aged 23. who had only been a short time in the country and had just startâ€" ed work in the Cobalt Central mine, met instant death on Wed- nesday afternoon about 2 o’clock. Rindell had been watching the cage going up and down and finally walked under it as it was descend- ing. His neck was broken and his head badly crush-ed.

A despatch from New York says: Twelve hundred persons at- tended the banquet given on Thursday night in the grand ball- room of the Waldorf and adjacent rooms in, honor of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, by the Arctic Club, of America. The doctor made a. speech, but added nothing to what he has already said about his dis- covery. He didnot think he should have appealed to. anybody for a li- cense to‘look for the Pole, and ad. ded :â€"“A big ship is no advantage. An army of white men who at best are novices are a; distinct lain- drance, while a cumbersome luxury of equipment is fatal to progress. We chose to live a life as simple as that of Adam, and we forced the strands of human endurance to scientific liimits. ' If you will reach the Pole there is no other way. We were not overburden-ed with the ~ aids to pleasure and comfort, but L-edid not start for that purpose. The. expenditure of a. million dol- lars would not have given us a greater advantage.” Lying acrossth-e grave of his young wife in Beechwood Cemetery, with a bullet hole through his brain, E.j B. Hamilton, a former resident of Ottawa and latterly employed in, New York by a boot and shoe com- pany, was found dead on Thursâ€" day afternoon by the caretaker of the cemetery. A revolver lying be- side him on the grave told the story of the ,su'cide. Hamilton’s wife died a few months ago, after they had been married less than a year. On Wednesday he came from New York to look at her grave in the cemetery here. At noon on Thursday he called on the clerk at the cemetery and asked for the bill for the care of the plot. A few moments. later a pistol shot was heard near the grave of Mrs. Ham'- ilton, and'rt-he lifeless body of the despondent husband was found a few minutes later prone'over the grave. The deceased was 35 years of age, .and was formerly a. mem- .ber of the Ottawa police force. Chief County Constable Hamilton is an uncle. 7â€".
