CUT DOWN BY A TRUCK.
Little Joseph Scholder Meets His
Death Under Its Heavy Wheels.
PI ay ins' Near the Sidewalk When He
Was Struck by One of the Mules and
Thrown Under the Wheel—His Suf
fering Was Intense Until He Died.
Caesar Beatty, the Negro Driver, Did
Not Stop to See What He Had Done,
but Hastened to the Wagon Yard,
Where He Dropped His Dines and
Skipped Out.
Joseph Scholder, a little 8-year-old boy,
whose parents live at No. 28 Margaret
street, in the western part of the city,
was run over by a heavy cotton truck
yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock and
received injuries which resulted in his
death about f> o'clock last night.
The little fellow was playing with some
of his friends on the sidewalk on the
southsideof Margaret street, and was at
the time near the edge of the walk on the
wooden curbing. Two heavy cotton
trucks turned the corner of West Broad
street into Margaret, and went down the
slight incline at that point at a pretty
rapid speed.
TUB DRIVERS RACING.
Friends of the boy’s parents who saw
the accident say the two drivers seemed
to be racing down the hill, and were
going at a rapid rate almost abreast.
When the truck on the left reached the
point where the children were playing
the mule nearest the sidewalk lurched in
close enough to strike the boy and
knock him under the wheel. The
front wheel of the heavy truck
driven by Casar Beatty, passed over the
little fellow about the abdomen, mashing
him fearfully. Beatty did not stop to see
to what extent ho had injured the boy,
but hurried on faster until lie reached
the yard at Farm and Margaret streets,
into which he drove, dropued the team
and hurried off.
The little fellow was picked up and car
ried to his home, which was Just across
the street. He was in a terrible condi
tion and was suffering intense agony.
Besides the mashing to which he had
been subjected he had severe bruises
about his arms and legs.
HIS UM CRUSHED OUT.
Medical aid was summoned and he was
given every care and attention, but could
not survive the severe injuries, and died
last night about 6 o'clock.
Both the trucks which were going down
the hill belonged to Mr. Frank M. John
son, whose yard is at Farm and Margaret
streets. Ho said that Beatty drove
into the yard and informed him of
what had happened and left tho place
at once, as he supposed, for
his home. Beatty, he says, told
him that the affair wns entirely
accidental, and that the children started
out from the sidewalk toward the street
just as he drove up. He said ho was not
driving fast and did not have time to get
out of tho way or stop, and that the child
was struck by the mule and knocked
under the front wheel, which passed over
its body.
BEATTY IN HIDING.
The police made a thorough search for
Beatty last night, but without anv re
sults. It was learned that ho lived in the
southwestern part of the city, but a
search there developed tho fact that
while his family was living in that quar
ter he had left it and was living
out on the White Bluff road. A
search out there failed to find him.
Last night about 7:30 o’clock. Policeman
King of the Central railroad force re
ceived a message that Beatty was hiding
in tho hay loft of the wagon yard on
Farm street. He went up to make a
search but found that the negro had just
left, and was supposed to have started
out toward the White Bluff road.
Policeman King took up the trail but
failed to locate him.
A FOOT OF BAIN SO FAB.
The City Washed and the Swamps
Filled With Water.
The rainfall for one hour yesterday af
ternoon was over an inch. Tho total for
the day was a fraction less than 1 l.j
inches. So far this month tho rainfall is
tho greatest ever known in July, and
makes up the deficiency for the year. The
fall since July 1 is very close to 12
inches. The average for July is about s>£
inches.
There has been more rain throughout
this entire section than has ever been
known for a single month. In the vicinity
of Augusta yesterday the fall was 2
in< hes. Hardeeviile, S. C , reported nearly
2 inches, and Thotnasville a fraction over
2 inches. One place in Louisiana
reported four inches in a few hours - al
most a cloud burst.
The heavy rain here washed the streets
in a good many places and did consider
able damage in that way. The rains this
month have caused the city many thou
sands of dollars damage. A heavy rain
like that of yesterday afternoon and that
of July 10 losts the city ail
the way from SI,OOO to $3,000 in the break
ing of sewers, washing of streets and
overflowing lands, and necessitating the
digging up of the grass which grows
everywhere on the streets.
The lowlands in the county have been
flooded since the heavy rains began, but
the drains havo carried the water
into the swamps, which are filled.
The county works have not suffered
any damage except the delay in the drain
age work. The convicts are now em
ployed on tho Casey canal and on the
canal draining the Lamar swamp. About
forty are at work west of the city, and
between sixty-live and seventy on the
Casey canal.
TO BE HEAitD TO-DAY.
The Preliminary Trial of D. A. Tyaon
Before Commissioner Connolly.
\V. E. Hutcheson, who was charged
with being implicated in the fraudulent
use of the mails with D. A. Tyson, who is
now in jail on that chargo, was brought
to the city yesterday from Rixville, by
Deputy Marshal Buckner, aud after an
investigation into the charge against him
he was allowed to go on his own recog
nizance.
This course was taken because it was
believed Hutcheson had been useu as a
tool, and that he was not aware of the
nature of the transactions that were being
carried on in liis name. He stated that lie
allowed Tyson to use his name and had
given him a power of attorney to do so,
but denied Knowing that there was any
thing crooked about the business. He said
it was straight so far as he knew any
thing about it.
He will remain hero as a witness before
the commissioner, who will conduct an
examination in tho matter to-dav. The
preliminary examination will be held be
fore United States Commissioner M. A.
Connolly, in the grund Jury room of tiie
United States court house, at 1 o’clock
this afternoon. Besides Huteaeson
und Neal other witnesses will he
present. The |iostofficc inspector wiio
has worked up the case lias been making
diligent inquiries among the merchants
here who have been taken in and has an
abundance of evidence in Ids possession,
which will la- produced at the hearing.

FOB ASSAULT TO MURDER.
Mackey Jackson Turned Over to the
Superior Court.
Mackey Jacksdn was turned over to
the superior court by Recorder Wilson
yesterday morning, on the charge of as
sault with intent to murder, for shooting
S. W. Everitt, J. P. McGovern and Simon
Jackson, colored, at West Savannah Sat
urday night. Mr. McGovern was not
able lo appear in court, on account of the
pain of the wound he received in the af
fair Mr. Everitt made his statement of
the affair, which was substantially the
same as the one already made to the
Morning News bv him. Mr. Everitt
was severely bruised by being knocked
down and kicked in the affray.
Mortorman Howell, who was in charge
of the car, corroborated Mr. Everitt’s
storv of the affair. Mr. Howell said
when he first saw Mr. Everitt on ttie
ground being kicked about by the negroes
lie supposed it was another negro He
did not see Mr. Everitt with a pistol any
time during the fight ho said.
Jackson told his story substantially as
he told it to a Morning News reporter
the day before. He claimed that Mr.
Everitt made the attack upon him and
shot him through the hand and that he
was shot by someone else while endeav
oring to prevent Mr. Everitt from shoot
ing him.
There have been no further arrests in
connection with the affair. Simon Jack
son, who was shot through the loft lung
it is supposed by Mackey Jackson, is still
alive, but it is not likely that he will live.
Dr. U.iG. Norton, who is attending him,
says there is a possibility of Jackson’s re
covery, but the chances are much the
other way. He had not spoke in twelve
hours when Dr. Norton saw him last.
Simon Jackson has not told his story of
the affair so far as known.
MR. DOOLAN’B TRIAL.
To Take Place This Morning Before
a Bench of Magistrates.
The preliminary trial of Mr. J. J.
Doolan on charges of criminal libel pre
ferred by Mr. Jas. W. Melntire in Justice
Naugiitin’s court, will take place this
morning before a bench of magistrates,
consisting of Justices Naughtin, Reynolds
and Waring Russell, Jr. Judge Elsinger
was first named as the third Justice to
sit at the hearing, but objection- having
been made for some reason by Mr. Jlc-
Intire, Justice Russell was named in his
stead.
The hearing will take place at Justice
Naughtin’s office at 10 o’clock. The list
of witnesses tor the defendent was
handed in to the justice yesterday after
noon. and subpoenas were at once issued.
It is said that the majority of these wit
nesses, of whom there are about twenty,
are employes of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad.
Mr. Melntire was to have been repre
sented by Mr. J. K. Saussy, but Mr.
Saussy is engaged at present in the Hover
will case and cannot be present this morn
ing. Mr. Melntire said last night that he
would prefer not to postpone the
hearing, and will endeavor to have an
other attorney appointed. The charge, it
will bo remembered, grew out of a pub
lication made by the defendant to the
effect that Mr. Melntire had, while in
charge of the registration books as regis
tration clerk, knowingly registered per
sons who had flot paid their taxes, which
was in violation of law.
ORDERED TO FLORIDA.
Special Treasury Agent S. W. Paul to
Have Charge of the Ninth District.
Mr. S. W. Paul, special agent of the
treasury, who has had charge of the
Eighth special agencyj district for the
last year, with headquarters in Savan
nah, has been ordered in charge of the
Ninth district, with headquarters at
Tampa, Fla.
The Eighth district comprises the two
Carolinas and Georgia. The Ninth dis
trict, to which Mr. Paul has been as
signed. comprises all of the customs col
lection districts in Florida, with the ex
ception of Pensacola, and is one of the
most important districts on the coast and
the most important in the southeast. Mr.
Paul will loave'for his new field within the
next week or ten davs. So far as known,
his successor at Savannah has not yet
been named.
Mr. Paul has been in charge of special
agents’ work in this district since July,
1898. and has made an enviable record.
During his residence in Savannah he has
established a wide acquaintance, both
among business men and socially, and it is
with regret among ids friends that he
leaves. The territory to which he has
been assigned has been without a special
agent in charge since last November. In
that time the work of the district has
been chiefly looked after by Mr. Paul,
under instructions from the treasury de
partment, so that he is already thoroughly
acquainted with the district and with his
duties there.
TO POINT OUT THE CHANNEL.
Capt. Darter Invitee the Pilots to
Accompany Him Down thrßiver.
Cupt. Carter will, go down the river to
day on a tour of inspection of the govern
merit work. He has extended an invitation
to any of the pilots who are unfamiliar
with the channel to accompany him, and
he will point it out. The invitation
is extended in the interest of the
commerce of the port, the report having
come to Capt. Carter that some of the
pilots are unfamiliar with the exact
chaunel.
Capt. Carter was asked last night if any
soundings will be made. He replied that
ins time is limited and it is doubtful
whether there will be any.
if there should he time, however,
the depth of the river may be
taken at a few points to show the amount
of water in the channel. The Angler will
leave the city at 10 o'clock and will go as
far as Fort Pulaski and Tybee Knoll, re
turning in the afternoon.
ADDING TO ITS MEMBERSHIP.
Municipal Matters Discussed by the
Citizens Club.
The Citizens Club held a meeting last
night at Odd Fellows hall, at which
about two hundred members were pres
ent. One of the members said 110 appli
cations were acted on favorably and the ap
plicants were made members of the club.
The club will meet every two weeks, and
from now on will outline its plans for the
city election in January. Speeches were
made last night by the president, Mr. \V.
VV. Osborne, and by Hr. 1.. A. Falligant,
who spoke principally upon matters rela
tive to the city government.

Four bids for tho building of the sklda
wa.v bridge from Isle of Hope across to
Skidaway Island are in t)i*s hands of tho
county commissioners, ami will be opened

Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It is
understood that the lowest bid for the
work is considerably less than w.oou.
The bridge will probably be built within
a short time.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1894.
FIGHTING FOR AN ESTATE.
The Contest Over Samuel Hover’s
Will Begun.
The First Day Taken Up by the Plain
tiff in Establishing the Will and by
Hover’s Heirs in Proving Him an
Habitual Drunkard and Incapable
of Making a Will—The Estate Valued
at 810,000 Where It Will Qo if the
Will Is Sustained.
The Hover will case was taken up in
the superior court yesterday before a
special jury empaneled from the grand
jury, consisting of Messrs. John W. Hin
son, Joseph Pnillips, William O. Van-
Vorst, Edward H. Smith, John Hender
son, Eben B. Peek, Elbridge G. Cabaniss,
William C. Lyon, Augustus G. Guerard,
Salomon Cohen, William L. Wilson and
H. C. Morgan.
The first part of the day was taken up
by- the plaintiff in establishing the will
and making out a prima facie case. The
■witnesses for the will and codicil. Messrs.
T. D. Rockwell, W. O. D. Rockwell, J. M.
Dreyer and Edward S. Elliott, were
sworn to prove the will. There was an
objection made to Mr. Elliott’s being al
lowed to testify, he being the attorney
for the executors, but the objection was
overruled by the court.
In the afternoon the witnesses for the
defendant, Lily M. Hover, who appeared
by her guardian ad litem, Mrs. Laura E.
Hover, were sworn. Those who testified
were Jack Lewis, O. T. Shaffer, G. W.
Sanders and B. P. Maull, who was
Holer's partner in the bakery business.
Mr. Edward S. Elliott appeared for the
executors of the will, Messrs: J. R. Saussy
and C. N. West for Mr. J. S. Schley, the
plaintiff, and Maj. P. W. Meldrim for the
defendant.
Tlie defense bases its case largely on
the ground that Hover was a habitual
drunkard, and that for months prior to
his death he was never in a condition of
mind or body where ho could rationally
or properly attend to his business. it
was proven beyond a doubt that Hover
was a slave to the liquor habit.
The plaintiff is endeavoring to
show, however, that he was sober
at certain times, mainly in the morning,
and that while sober, he was of suffi
ciently sound mind to transact business.
Incidents in the last few months of his
life, however, are being brought out to
show that liquor had so affected his mind
that he was partially insane even when
so her.
The will, it will be rememberod, left a
third of his estate of about 810,000, to his
wife and daughter and the remaining two
thirds to Mr. John Sullivan Schley. The
court took a recess at 6 o'clock and will
resume the case this morning at 10
o’clock.
CAN RIDE ANYWHERE.
Passes Signed by W. S. Bissell Good
on Any Transportation Line.
There are few people perhaps who know
that there is a class of officials who have
what might be called carte blanche over
all the transportation lines in the United
States and many of those in Canada and
Mexico, yet such is the case, and the post
office inspector, who keeps an eagle on
tho mail service for Uncle Sam, is the
only person who enjoys this extensive
privilege.
Even the presidents of great railroads
and railroad systems do not carry in their
inside pocket passes on every transporta
tion line in the country, but to the nost
oftice inspector is granted this sweeping
and universal privilege, and in his case
one simple pass suffices for all lines.
The pass carried by Postoffice Inspector
J. W. Bulla was accidentally caught sight
of on a suburban train the other day, and
he, when questioned, explaining its com
plications or rather its simplicities, for it
contains but a few brief lines of instruc
tions to all transportation companies
which earry United States mails or have
facilities for carrying mails, to furnish
transportation to the inspector who pre
sents It for passage.
This is done by contract with the gov
ernment, and all transportation com
panies which carry any mail at all include
this in the contracts which they make
with the government. The brief instruc
tions to such companies arc signed by
Wilson S. Bissell, Postmaster General,
and a conductor never hesitates to recog
nize such a pass when it is presented.
Anew conductor on one of the western
lines refused to honor one of these uni
versal passes not long ago and demanded
fare of the inspector who presented it.
The fare was willingly paid and a receipt
was taken. The fare was refunded to the
inspector within a day or two, and at the
same time the conductor received a letter
instructing him to study up on his busi
ness.
There are about 114 of these inspectors,
and each has such a pass. These are all
the passes of this kind there are in ex
istence. They are honored ou every road
and steamship line in the Uuited States,
and some of the lines are liberal enough
to carry the family of an inspector on
them too. A number of tho lines in Mex
ico and Canada readily honor them.
These inspectors, too, aro the only per
sons outside of the mailing clerks who
are allowed to ride in the United States
mail cars.
A COUNTRY ROBBER CAUGHT.
Pity Some of the City Burglars
Couldn’t Be Caught, Too.
Henry Davis was arrested by Officer
M. J. Lee of Justice Etidres’ court yester

pocket, the vest having been hung at the
head of the bed, was missing. Flowers
reported the ease to Justice F.ndres, who
set Officer Lee to work it up.

THE KNIGHTS GRAND CONCLAVE
Pythians of the United States to Meet
in Washington.
The Knights of Pythias in every sec
tion are preparing for one of the grandest
conclaves in Washington Aug. 27, and lor
several days following, that has ever been
given within their history. It is the
eighteenth biennial conclave of the
Knights of Pythias of the United States,
and the knights in every section of the
country are looking forward to it with
great expectations.
It is expected that Washington will he
besieged with more people than ever
gat he rod there except on the occasion of
the inauguration of a President. Georgia
will send up full delegations from every
city. Some of the Savannah knights
will go from this city to Atlanta, where
they will take the special train to Wash
ington, while a large number will go di
rect from Savannah to Baltimore by the
Merchants and Miners’ line, which has
offered a special excursion rate* for the
occasion of #l7 for the round trip. A
great many will perhaps take this route in
order to avoid the dust and heat of the
railroad travel incident to tills season of
the .vear.
Atlanta expects to send about 100 dele
gates and Savannah promises to do about
as well A great many members of the
uniform ranks, Teutonia and DuGuesclin
divisions, expect to attend in uniform.
The other lodges will all have representa
tives present at the conclave. Besides
the knights a great many people will take
advantage of the low rat’s offered by all
routes to Washington. Lodges from all
parts of the state will be represented,
many of them by large delegations. A
feature of the grand conclave will be the
encampment of the knights of the uni
form rank upon the broad, open space sur
rounding the Washington monument,
overlooking Washington city.
The programme for the occasion, though
not yet fully arranged, will be an elabor
ate one, including banquets, prize drills,
excursions, fireworks, with the grand
parade of Aug. 28 as the crowning event.
The parade will form at the capital with
about 80,000 knights, 15,000 of whom will
wear the uniform and equipments. The
next day will take place the prize drills, at
which #B,BOO in prizes will be distributed
to the best drilled companies, the first
prize being #1,500.
One feature of the encampment about
which little has been heard up to this
time, is the meeting of the supreme tem
ple of Pythian Sisters, which will he in
session concurrently with sessions of the
supreme lodge of the knights. The
Pythian Sisters is the name of an organi
zation that is of recent birth, but which
has developed rapidly since its inception.
It is destined to be to the main Pythian
order what the Woman’s Relief Corps is
to the Grand Army of the Republic.
The order of Pythian Sisters will come
before the supreme lodge at this session
with a request for recognition as an aux
iliary body, and their request will be
granted, provided certain differences
now existing between the Pythian Sis
ters and the Pythian Sisterhood can be
straightened out. These two bodies have
been acting in rather an unsisterly fash
ion, and are at present rather antago
nistic than otherwise. The Pythian
Sisterhood is a rebellious offshoot of the
order of Pythian Sisters and claims equal
rights with the older organization.
A NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
The Lodges Pass Resolutions in Re
gard to It.
The meeting of the Masonic fraternity
at the Masonic temple iast night for the
purpose of taking steps looking to the
erection of a larger and finer temple was
largely attended. Mr. George A. Breck
was made permanent chairman, and Mr.
W. C. Travis permanent secretary. The
following resolutions expressive of the
purpose of the meeting were adopted:
Whereas. At a conference of the committees
appointed by Zerubhat el. Clinton. Landrum
and Ancient Landmark lodges, and Georgia
Chapter, Georgia Council and Palestine com
mandery, It was decided that the proposition
of Solomon's lodge in inference to the rent of
the lodge room, would not be accepted: and.
Whereas, It is necessary for the several
Masonic bodies to come to some understand
ing conjointly, and to co-operate with each
other for the purpose ot providing suitable
and adequate lodge facilities; therefore be It
Kesolved, First. That this mass meeting of
the fraternity do nereby ratify and Indorse
the action of the joint committee, and does
also recommend that the several Masonic
bodies co operate with each other and pur
chase a suitable site and erect thereon a
Masonic edifice: anti.
Second. That the presiding officers of the
several bodies. Solomon's lodge included, or
their representatives, constitute a committee
to formulate a plan providing means and
regulations for the erection of the said struc
ture, ami for the government of a board of
trustees to control the funds necessary; and,
Third. That the said plan. In all its details,
be submitted to the several Masonic bodies
for their action, at the first meeting of each
body in October, 1891.
The idea seems to be to have Solomon’s
lodge, which owns the present temple,
dispose of it and invest the proceeds, to
gether with the funds the fraternity may
decide to raise otherwise, in a iarger and
handsomer temple to cost about $lOO,OOO.
The arrangements of the present temple
are not as convenient as are desired by the
lodges and hence the movement iu favor
of anew temple.
CIRCLE NO. 7’S WORK.

Judge A. H. MacDonell of the city
court is attending the meeting of the
Georgia Bar Association in Atlanta.
Judge MacDonell delivered a most inter
esting address before the last meeting,
which was held at Rome, on the subject
of ‘Discretion in Punishment.” He is an
able advocate, and his presence at these
assemblies is always noted.

A bill of exceptions was filed yesterday
by Mr. Edward R. MeKethan in the case
Eddie Davis, convicted of the murder of

The Retail Druggiat ae an Advertiser.
The druggist does not avail himself as
he should of the uumerous opportunities
for effective, trade winning advertising.
The country druggist is contented
with the moss-grown, stereotyped
card in bis local paper. Tho city
druggist relies upon some sort of a win
dow display and cheaply prepared pla
cards for drawing the passer-by into his
place of business. This is the general
rule, though there are mauy exceptions;
it is these exceptions which we would
hold up as examples of what can be done
by persistent and suitable advertising.
Those druggists who have made the sub
ject a study have found it pays. It is the
experienceof all branches of commercial
industries that advertising pays, and the
druggist has exceptional opjiortunities
and exceptional material for attractive
and effective work. The public look upon
tho druggist as a man of mystery, and
products which are to him but the tools
of his trade, of every day familiarity, are
to his customers objects of interest." The
ordinary drug store contains a vast
variety of articles with which profitable
window advertising may be done. This,
supplemented by well considered an
nouncements in the columns of the news
paper, is a factor of highest importance
to success.
Opinions as to what is the best kind of
advertising fur the druggist, naturally,
and of necessity, differ very greatly, but
if as much attention be given to the sub
ject as is devoted to other branches of the
business, there can be no question of the
ultimate result. If tho druggist would
take a port ion of the time which j )0 „ow
devotes to bewailing his lot and wonder
ing how tie can get the old time price* for
patent medicine*, and devote it to a study
of advertising, be would, if experience of

FAR WORSE THAN SIBERIA.
Is Russia’s * New Convict Colony,
Saghalin, the Island of Ice.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
St. Petersburg, July 10.—Siberia too
good for convicts! That is the latest
declaration of the czar's government.
The old convict colony, the very men
tion of which leaves a bad taste in the
mouth, is to be turned into a "paradise”
for agricultural settlers and mining
sharps by the aid of the new Asiatic rail
way crossing it, while Nihilists and other
refractory members of Russian society
will in the future be accommodated on
the Island of Saghalin, which, also, re
joices in the names of Karafto and
Taraika. Its nature is a mystery, even to
many school books and encyclopaedias,
and ethonologists differ as to the classifi
cation of the tribes of aborigines found
there. So horrible and revolting to civil
ized nations is Saghalin that the Czar
consented to its adoption as an open air
prison only after the assassination of Car
not and the discovery of the recent plots
against his own life.
Another point that argued in its favor
with Alexander was that no George Ken
nan will be likeiy to penetrate into the
wilds of the North Pacific island, access
to which can be completely guarded on
all sides. There will be no more investi
gations and graphic descriptions of Rus
sian convict life hereafter, and, conse
quently, no more petitions and remonstra
tions by sentimentalists for the allevia
tion of convicts’ sufferings.
geographical situation op sagiialin.
If Alexander hates anything it is to
have his authority questioned and liis
humanity doubted. To further explain
matters, Saghalin is an island resembling
in shane Long Island, N Y., off the coast
of Russian Manchuria, the eastern termi
nus of the czar's possessions, north of
Japan. The Gulf of Tartary separates it
from the mainland, and its eastern coast
is washed by the Sea of Okhotsk. The
people and the convicts of Siberia never
speak of the island other than “The Hell
of Saghalin,” and its climate is said to
be so much worse than that of Siberia as
to rob this appellation of an exaggerated
character, even in the mouths of those
lost ones.
Heretofore Saghalin has been pressed
into service as an open-air prison only in
most extreme cases, where capital punish
ment, by degrees, of course, was intended,
Now,the exigencies of the great empire of
the north, demanding the purification of
Siberia, all sentenced to deportation are
carried off in the wilderness without pre
ference to the length of sentence, the
nature of crimes or offenses they were
accused of, without reference to sex or
former status in society.
“It is simply impossible for a human be
ing, not born on the island, to last there
more than a year ” This is the official
report by the governor of Manchuria.
“Very well: change the guards every
three months.”
can’t endure confinement there.
This is somewhat of a concession in
Russia -the care for life and health of
prison keepers.
Statistics prove that the number of
Brodjagans—that is, would-be fugitives
from Saghalin—exceeds that tof Siberian
runaways by 150 per cent., in spite or the
limited number of persons at present held
captive there. Most of these poor
wretches try escape as the only means of
securing a quick finale of their tortures,
for suicide is made impossible by the
eternal vigilanco of the guards. Usually
a party of from three to ten seek salva
tion in flight in order to be able to offer
resistance to the sentinels placed along
the coast and the savage aborigines in
habiting the wilderness they set out to
reach. The country is sparsely inhabited
by Oroks, a nomadic tribe employing the
reindeer; by the Ainos race, and by
Gilyaks, all fishermen and hunters not
averse to occasional nannibalism.
If they break through the chain of
guards in summer they first seek refugo
in the Taga, a still unexplored forest
teeming with wild beasts, reptiles and
poisonous insects. There is, also, much
game, by which they hope to live until
midwinter, when the Gulf of Tartary
freezes over, offering a problematic means
of escape to Japanese territory. In win
ter they make direct for the coast, though
the nearest land across the gulf, which is
shallow water that easily freezes, is 100
miles distant.
SLIM CHANCES FOB ESCAPE.
There are lots of sentinels stationed on
the ice bridge, who have orders to shoot
dowu any human being seen. Still, two
or three prisoners have escaped by dodg
ing behind masses of snow and ice, or,
what is far more probable, by bribing of
ficials.
The Russian government means to em
ploy tho convict colonists in tho rich coal
mines discovered on the island and in lev
eling the forests. The hundreds of stu
dents and petty officials concerned in the
recent conspiracy against the czar will
get a taste of that work shortly.
At the present moment the most inter
esting colonist of Saghalin is Sophie Bluh
stein. a full-blooded Russian in spite of
her Herman name. Sho first achieved
criminal renown by pressing her atten
tions upon the Shah of Persia during the
latter’s visit to St. Petersburg. Sophie
had avowedly no intention of adding
his majesty to ner list of admirers,
but sought his acquaintance merely
for the purpose of relieving him, if
possible, of some of his diamonds. She
was foiled in her efforts, but succeeded in
having her private car attached to
the Shah's special train, (-'or this piece
of enterprise she was banished to Siberia
for a year, and while there organized a
band of cutthroats and robbers, whoso
services she controlled on the continent
after their terms had expired. She is
said to be the sharpest criminal living
and in sending her to Saghalin the Rus
sian go srnmont claims to have conferred
a lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes.
