:1 E c: g m Officers Connected 'With Russian Repres- sions Will A (lespateh from St. Petersburg says: Nearly every minister, coiirtier and army oflici‘r whose name was even in- directly connected with the reprCSsions and punitive actions of the last. year is now under sentence of death at the hands of the 'l‘crrortsts. After M. Stolypin, who heads the list and whose life is not worth an hour's purchase, the most important condemnâ€" e-t man is General Alexis lgnaiicff, the leader of the so-called “Camarilla” or “Star Chamber,” which, though it has no oflicial status, meets regularly and forces its counsels upon the Czar. lgnatieff is a nephew of the Count Ignatieff, popularly known as “The Fa- ther of Lies," who negotiated the San Stefano treaty. Alexis lgnatieif is a ferocmus reactionary and anti-Semite. His name immediately comes up when- ever dictatorship is suggested. , Next in importance is M. Durnovo, late Minister of the Interior. He lived in lnterlaken under the name of Miller, with the result that an innocent French- man named Muller was shot dead by a woman Terrorist. Durnovo is corrupt, uneducated and brutal. He is the inven- tor of “punitive expeditions" against dis- contented centres of population. Gen. Rennenkampf became nown during the late war with Japan, where he commanded the Cossacks without the least success. His offence is that he led a punitive expedition along the Siberian Railway, shopting people with- out trial wholesale. He took innocent women and even school girls as hos- tages in his “armored train,” and threatened to shoot them if any attempt] was made‘ against his safety. The .armored train consisted of a saloon and four prison vansp which ‘were packed full of ir‘ien and women of all classes, from the curator of Tomsk University downward. Gen ltfellerâ€"Zakomelsky has also re- ceived a death sentence for offences Similar to Rennenkamf. At. Khilka he shot eleven men and boys without trial or enquiry. Governor Kurloff of Minsk, has been sentenced for organizing massacres {I cws. ' ' GIRL SHOT WARDERS. Lukheria Trostoff, a girl of 18 years, escaped last week from Kazan City Prison, after killin three warders and« g fwcre abo’ard the Maud, but with the ex- wounding a fourth. Mlle. Trostoff‘s asâ€" sociates outside the jail made a. tunel under dhe street over three feet in dia- meter, and finally worked their way to the floor of the girl’s cell. When, at niglit.,she attempted to escape, the roof of the tunel fell in, leaving a gap in the roadway. Warned from outside, the warder on duty‘ rushed into the cell, and not seeing the prisoner, fired all the shots of his revolver into the V tunnel. When the six bullets were spent, Mlle Trostoff, covered with earth, emerged from the tunnel and shot the warder through the head. Two other prison officials who came in without lighits she. also shot' dead, putting a bullet into the leg of a fourth, and es- caped into the town. DISARMED THE POLICE. I Grave agrarian disorders have broken out in Hie province of Viatka, the cen- tre of disturbances being the important district of-Mulbuish, with a population of over 100.000, where the inhabitants of seventy villages are reported to have Joined in the uprising, have disarnied and expelled the police, and are pillag- ing and destroying the residences if the land-owners and devastating the‘ country. Details are difficult to obtain, but it is rumored at \fiatka that the ad- ministrative police chiefs in the Mal- buish district and eight of their subor- dinates have been killed. The excesses began September 20, with a riot. over the enrollment of army reserves for their autumn services. . Disorders have also broken out in the adjoining district at Chistopol, in Kazan provmce. l ‘ POISON FOR POLICE. A espatch from Moseow says: A man engaged a policeman in conversation on Tuesday, and gave him ii pear. Aftert eating it the policeman became danger-l ously ill, poison having been inserted in the fruit.

Three Persons were Drowned on the Steamer Maud. A despatch from Montreal says: Three lives were lost by a collision be- tween the steamers Maud and Ottawan opposite Hudson. on the Ottawa River, about 3.30 on 'l‘hursday morning. The dead armâ€"Maggie. Benson of Oka, stew- ardess; B. Pawtry of Levis, eiigincci‘,. and a passenger named Barrett of Montebello. The Maud was so badly damaged that she sank within a few minutes after the accident- occurred. An idea may be formed of how quickly the water engulfed her from the fact that the engineer came tip on deck. to see what had happened, and then hur- ried back to get some personal effects. He was not seen again. Barrett. also impaired on the deck, but he rushed be- low 0 loosen a horse, and was caught. 'The stewardess mistook tier way in the darkness and fell into a hole canst by the wreckage, and met a terrible fate, going headlong into the midst of the livestock. / The Maud was owned by the Ottawa Navigation Company and the Ottawan by the Ottawa Forwarding Company. The former was coming dawn the river and the latter going up. Apparently a misunderstanding arose over, the signal: 1 for passing. so the two steamers camei together with sufficient force to cut a hole into the Maud several feet. deep near the hatchway. Twentyâ€"five passengers ception of Barrett all were safely trans- ferred to the Ollawan. The cargo con- sisted of 8 horses. 30 cattle, 150 sheep and 200 chickens, all of which were lost. The river where the accident occurred "widens out. into what is called the Lake of Two Mountains. The Maud had been engaged in the Ottawa River trade for twenty-five years. She is valued at $10,000, and will probably be a com- plete loss. ‘ -â€"-â€"â€"-+ $100,000 FIRE AT MONTREAL. Wipes Out Fourteen Buildings in Sn- burl) of the City. A despatch from Montreal says: A fire which broke out early on Wednes- day afternoon dcstroyed ‘14 buildings, either partly or wholly. in St. Louis de Mile End, a northern suburb of Mont- real. and rendered some 30 families homeless. The loss is estimated at about $100,000, partly covered by in- surance. The fire started in a small house occupied by A. Madame Belan- gcr. Some children were playing in the yard shortly before, and it is suppOSed they may have started the fire acciden- tally,“ The flames spread to soni: wooden sheds and to a stable in the vicinity, and by this time had made such headway that the local firemen were unable to cope with it. and the Montreal brigade responded to a call for assistance. Both brigades worked all afternoon before the fire was put under control. A woman 85 years of age was rescued from one of the burn- ing houses. .___.__.+___. SALVATION ARMY SETTLERS.

Reports received do not indicate any loss of life, but the difnmge to properly is enormous. All wire communication is seriously dis- arrungcil, and in some instances has l‘csulteil in cutting off cities completely. i‘xiinierous washouts have occurred. “19 interruption from this cause in one case extending thirty miles. _l’cii>acola, where the maximum velo- CIty of the wind was probably felt, re- ports a property loss of $3,000,000- New Orleans furnished numerous wild rumors during the day, but later reports there indicate that, while there was ccnsulerable damage to property. there has. been no loss of life. Wires be- tween New Orleans and the Gulf are down. and it may be several days be- fore anything can be heard from the ter- ritory between that city and the Gulf '2‘"? l or from the shipping which is riding out the storm in the open gulf. DAMAGE TO RAILWAYS HEAVY. The damage to railroads is heavy. Reports to the officials of the Louisville and Nashville Road from the superin- tendent of the Mobile and Montgomery division indicated that the loss approxi- mates $1,000,000. At Pensacola the Louisville and Nashville grain elevator has been de- stroyed and the trackage to Escambia Bay is ruined. The railroad wharf at Pensacola is reported a total loss. Further reports indicate that the roadâ€" bed between Minelte, Ala.. and Mobile. 3 distance of 30 miles, has been washed away. The Louisville and Nashville also suffered several washouts near New Orleans. The flew Orleans and North- eastern reports its tracks under water at several places near New Orleans. SllfPS LYING IN STREETS. A ,dcapateh from F'lomaton, Ala., says: A few refugees from Pensacola, Fla. fleeing from the fierce Gulf storm. which swept- that city, have reached here. Among them is D. J. Ligon, a travelling man, of Atlanta, who tells graphically of the terrors endured by the Florida port. Ligon says :â€"“I have just. reached thisâ€" point from Pensacola. Florida, where I spent a horrible night of torture, passing through the terrific hurricane, which lasted for hours, and, to add to the horror of the night, fire broke out. sending sparks at great speed over the hotel. At 3 o’clock all the guests were awakened and ordered (town. Tin roofs were flying in all directions. The rain came in sheets. Part of the town is under water. Ships suffered greatly. All wires are down and cars are not running. Windows by the wholesale were smashed, and thousands of trees are down for miles out of town, some falling on the wires and breaking the same in hundreds of places. The entire city is a mass of wreckage. Not a residence or busmess house in the city has escaped damage. Roofs are blown off, telegraph, tele- phone, and electric wires are a tangled mass. The water front is strewn with wreckage for miles on either side ‘of the city. and vessels are piled on ihe wharves, or where the wharves were, in utter ruin. I “When I was getting out of the City I saw great. Ships lying in the streets of Pensacola. The water front is gone. Every wharf has been destroyed.

SAVIGNAC CAIVI‘URED. His Revolvers “an "int Down. Tried to Seize When Officers A despateh from Ottawa says: Dr. J. A. Suvignac, who attempted to murder his wife and mother-in-law on Monday night of last week, was arrested on Sat-l urday evening by Detectives Dicks and Ryan, at Meloehcville, in Beauhiirnois] County, and is now in the Ottawa jail. Since Monday Savignac has been gradu- ally working his way towards the Unit- e-t States frontier. Hearing on Friday that he had been seen around Coteau, the detectives immediately posted off to that point. where they arrived Friday evening. Enquiries led them to con- cluded that their man had gone east, and before daybreak on Saturday they were on the road towards River Beau- dette, which is at the foot of the Soul. anges Canal. At this point they ascer- tained that the man they wanted had been ferried across the river to Meloche- ville by a man named f-lenry Lalonile Lalonde was found, and for a consid- eration undertook to take the detectives across in the drenching rain. Lalonde dows of houses that were surrounded by water above the first. floor. One can hardly dascribe the-scenes in the prin- cipal streets. They are full of wreckage and locomotion is almost impossible.” MOBILE IN RUINS. A dispatch from Mobile. Alabama, via Meridian. Miss, says: This city is practically in ruins as a result of the Gulf storm which swept it Thursday night. Some (3.000 or 7,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed. and the loss is estimated at from $3,000,000 to 85.000000. There are no reliable figures to be had as to the loss of life. Three negroes are. known to be dead, and there are rumors that fifty persons lost. their lives. but as things are, these rumors cannot be verified. It is feared, however, that when all is known the loss of life will be heavy. The city has been placed under martial law and‘ footers will be sumarily dealt with. Every church in the city has suffered, though Christ Church and St. Francis Street Baptist Church suffered more than the others. The damage to, Christ Church is estimated ht $40,000, ,St. Francis Street Baptist Church at $10,- 000. Mobile‘s shipping suffered more than anything else. Many of 'her river boats are now beached or sunken, all com- plete wrecks. ller (locks and those of; private corporations are fearfiilly torn up. The revenue cutter Alert has gone [down in Mobile River. She was rammed by some unknown vessel and sank im- llflt'fllnltlly. flei- crew is believed to have all escaped. The depth of water in the wholesale. district,/wliicli includes the entire sec- tion of the city from Royal Street to the river, was seven feet. ’ AWFUL DEVASTATION. During the hours between 6 pm. ,Thursday and noon on Friday trees fell. and roofs crashed by the hundreds through the streets, carried by the ter- rific wind. Thousands of pieces of slate, tin roofing. cornices. shingles, and, in fact. all kinds of blinds, were tor ~ from their fastenings, and window seriously injured and cut by the flying slashed as if tissue. Many people wer slate and tin roofing. , PROVISIONS ARE SCARCE. 1n the city many people and much live stock were rescued after heroic efforts. Provisions re running low. Restaurants feed nany. but have no. supplies on hand. ‘ Ham and eggs con- stitute the food supply. These, too, will soon become exhausted. Whole- sale houses 1ost many thousands of dollars from flood and willingly paid as high as $1.50 an hour for common labor. Even at this figure few men, white or black, would accept work. The wind of Thursday was of longer duration and more tornado-like, twist- ing everything in its path, and mo destruction than former storms of lik nature that haveivisited Mobile. The fruit trees and fall vegeta e~ crops all over Southern Alabama nd= Mississippi are ruined. So, also, IS the cotton, sugar-cane and other One large Mississippi planter made the assertion on Friday that he would! \Vlll- ingly accept $15 for his cotton cr p and feel afterwards that he had gotten the | best of the deal. /. All along the lines of the Mobile and. Ohio Railroad there were huge trees lying flat upon the ground with limbs torn off and twisted.
