■ VOLUME XV. 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. r -c6me ’round^thte-fevenlng.' oui^Ufleft- DQ-rtraent were , ^Reaching the how the other games in the Georgia State League came, out Detailed tele graphic accounts at The Office. tf Mill Supply Department: Genuine Gandy Belt, Atkin’s Cir cular and Cross Cut Saws, Marsh Steam Pumps.

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- Harvesting Ma chinery, Thresh ing Machines in stock, all sizes Gasoline Engines, owers an d Tank s Albany Machinery Co. 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.
