ALBANY, GA.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JUNE 8, 1906.
mv
NUMBER 195.
SITUATION IN RUSSIA
IS BECOMING ALARMING.
INCREASED REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITY IS
NOTICEABLE THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE,
•MOSCOW, June 8.—There is a noticeable increase
in revolutionary activity here, and it is evident that the
leaders are preparing to take advantage of the first op
portunity to start an armed uprising.
■ Factory workmen are being systematically armed
with Mauser rifles and drilled under army reserve men.
. Revolutionary meetings are held nightly in the indus
trial sections, and emissaries have been sent out, into
all parts of the country to incite the larid-hungrv
peasants to appropriate land and to strike on the big
estates.
The leaders evidently hope for a complete rupture
between the governemnt and parliament, which will fur
nish the necessary opportunity for an uprising.
The situation has greatly alarmed business men
and the big landlords of the country.
He Brings About Peace Be
tween the Operators and
Striking Miners in South
western Mining District.
Kansas City, June 8.—John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, succeeded in bringing about peace
between the operators and miners of
the Southwestern Mining District,
whereby the 1903 scale is renewed for
two years from the first of last
March, and 30,000 miners, idle since
April 1, in Missouri, Kansas, Indian
Territory and Arkansas, return to
work.

CLOSE CALI:
Assistant Chief L. S. Wel
don Jumped from Truck
and Was Run Over by the
Heavy Vehicle.
Assistant Chief of the Fire Depart
ment L. S. Weldon was painfully In
jured yesterday afternoon while run
ning to a small blaze on .Flint street.
That he was not instantly killed seems
miraculous.
When the alarm was received As
sistant Chief Weldon hooked up the
big bay horse to the hook and ladder
truck, and left the station immediate
ly in the rear of the hose wagon on
which the other members of the de-

street, the horse broke into a run anti
rapidly overhauled the wagon.
Then it was that the assistant chief
discovered that the lines had not been-
snapped into the bit. He remained in
his seat until he realized that not to
jump was to court death. He there
fore sprang from his lofty perch just
as the truck was in front of Hall’s
warehouse.
But in jumping, the unfortunate fire
man’s feet became entangled in the
lines, and he was thrown immediate
ly in front of the wheels of the truck,
which passed over his chest.
Those who witnessed the accident
were horrified, not doubting that the
fireman had been killed, but to the
surprise of all he staggered to his feet
and walked toward the side of the
street.
He ^vas-placed on a litter and car
ried to his home. It was feared that
he had sustained internal injuries, but
this morning the gratifying announce
ment was made by City Physician
Hilsman that no evidence of serious
internal injury had developed. It is
therefore probable that the injured
man will be out in the, course of a
few days, though he will feel the un
pleasant effects' of his trying experi
ence for some time.
THE LOUISIANA
STATE CAPITAL
MATERIALLY DAMAGED BY FIRE.
THE LEGISLATURE MET TODAY IN THE ELKS’
THEATRE AT BATON ROUGE.
BATON ROUGE, La., June 8.—The saving of the state capltol from
complete destruction by fire last night was accomplished In a spectacu-
' lar manner, Governor Blanchard, assisted by many legislators dressed In
their night clothes and by thousands of Baton Rouge citizens, supple
menting the fire department.
The fire started from defective Wiring near the roof of the Senate
chamber, destroying tho east wing above the first floor. The damage is
between $50,000 and $100,000. Governor Blanchard directed the saving
of valuable papers.
The Legislature, now in session, met today In the Elks’ theatre.
The eapitol was first .built In 1847, and was burned during the civil
war. The present structure was erected in 1880.' .
I
CHANGE-HANDS,
Known That Local Parties
Are Conducting Negotia
tions With the Manager
of the Albany Team.
There is persistent talk of an ap
proaching change in the management
of the Albany baseball team, and it is
known that negotiations have been
opened by local partfes with Manager
J. W. Thomas for the purchaso of the
franchise.
Just what will be the result of these
negotiations can not, of course, be
foretold, though it is regarded as prob
able that some agreement will be
reached whereby the franchise and
management will pass into the handB
of local parties. ,
It is realized that much of the trou
ble which has beset the Albany team,
including its inability to play winning
ball and such unfavorable winds as
have at times beset Its course, has
been due to the -fact that Manager
Thomas could not he with the team
to personally direct it. It is the opin
ion of those who are familiar with the
situation that had other conditions
surrounded the team, it would now be
in much better shape generally, and
occupy a much higher position in the
percentage column of the Georgia
State League.
It Is possible that Manager Thomas
will be. in Albany in the course of a
day or two. If he can not come, ne
gotiations will bo carried on by tele
graph, arfd it is probable that local
parties will be found ready to take the
matter in hand, and either organize a
stock company or take tho franchise
as a private business venture.
As for the team, it is now badly crip
pled as the result of accidents that
have befallen several players, though
the fact is appreciated that with
proper management and encourage
ment it would easily be one of the
best in the league.

THE PRESIDENT SENDS A LETTER TO HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—Responding to
a request from the House agriculture committee, the
President today forwarded to Representative Wads
worth, chairman of the committee, the report of the
Department of Agriculture regarding Chicago packing,
house conditions. The President accompanied the re
port with a letter in which he points out that there is
no conflict in substance between it and the Neill-Rey-
nolds report.
He says that in the latest report the packing house
proprietors are manifesting “almost humorous haste to
clean up, repave and plan future changes.” The report i
says “the haste would be amusing if not so near tragic.”
The. President says that enough has been devel
oped to call for an immediate enlargement of the powers
of the government in the inspection of all meats which
enter into interstate and foreign commerce.
