Canonsburg, 1'a., July 30. -Coroner
Sipe and Constable Miller drove into

Dempster, a 10 -yetis' -old negro, who had
been arrested for tine murder of Mrs.
Samuel Pearce and two. children, and
the shooting of a third child, last even-
ing. Dempster was taken to the county
jail at Washington, Pa,, leaving here
on a trolley car at 8 o'clock.
'While no bloodstains were found on
the prisoner suspicion first rested on hint
last night when it was learned that he
was the last person seen about the house
before the tragedy. Dempster was a
helper on the Pearce farm.
Ire was taken from his bed about 2
this morning and after a severe exam-
ination, is alleged to have made a com-
plete confession.
According to the story told in his
alleged confession young Dempster at-
tempted an assault on the four year old
daughter, after the departure of • Mr.
Pearce, but was frustrated by the ano-
ther) who \vent to a bureau to get a re-
volver to shoot him. The negro says he
secured the weapon first and after kill-
ing the mother and the children, sot fire
to the house to hide the crime.
The feeling against Dempster is very
bitter.
Washington, Pa., July 30. -Elmer
Dempster was safely lodged in jail here
at 9 o'clock, the officers ,had an excit-
ing trip from Canonsburg, Two at-
tempts were made to take the negro
from them.
Shortly after leaving Canonsburg, a
crowd of about 20 men boarded the car
and dragged the prisoner and officers
from tile car.
A fierce struggle followed, but the of-
ficers succeeded in keeping possession of
the negro, and finally drove the mob off

Washington was reached nearly 300 peo-
ple had gathered at the court house, but
the crowd was excluded by taking the
prisoner through the basement to the

RUSSIAN PEOPLE. 1 �'
Czar Will Now Inaugurate Policy of
Brutal and Bestial Reprisals, He
Says -High Class Hangmen and
TT Thieves,
New York, July 28. -Maxim Gorky,
the Russian author, to -day made pub-
lic an appeal directed to the people
of America to "Help the people of Rus-
sia to fret its body from the parasites
which suck its life blood." The appeal
was in part as follows:
""The czar has dispersed the dolma.
"This small man, trembling on ins
throne for his life and power like an
aspen leaf, has with one stroke of els
pen destroyed all semblance of law in
Russia and called into life a new series
of murders, robberies and outrages. The
Russian government will now inaugur-
ate a policy of brutal and bestial ie -
prisals. The hangmen and thieves sur-
rounding the throne and supporting it
with bloodstained hands have of late
heard many bitter and insulting truths
from the lips of courageous and honest
amen. They will avenge themselves for
it, and their vengeance will be severe.
Embittered, accustomed to shed blood,
and encouraged by the reign of lawless- •
cess, they will once more appall the
world by their deeds. They will com-
mence to annihilate and destroy the
iders of the people, and having de-
4roycd the leaders they will again de -
h people, whoare dream- ale war on ) e e
to
,
ing of peace and civilization, and who
had been so impatiently hoping for the
triumph of justice. The black, blood-
soaked wings of death will flutter over
the country for months. The exhausted
earth will swallow thousands of corpses
of men whose only crime was the de-
sire to live a human life. Many women
and children will perish from bullets,
swords and clubs. Many crying out -
rages will be perpetrated, The world
will be seized with horror and indigna-
tion. Here and there public meetings
will eloquently denounce the czar and
d
his band of savages. The speakers will
be rewarded by applause and the public
will leave the meetings in the proud
conviction that they have responded to
the callof theunfortunatetr
people of
a
foreign land and thus discharged their
duty to humanity, At the same time
the blood. of the Russians will flow in
wide streams."
"Aro We civilized people or are we
not?" Gorky then asks. Ho declares
that he thinks not, and that the pro-
pie
rople who live quietly when everything
around them is soaked with blood are
.-.i-supply satiated animals.
"If such crying horrors occur as
those which we now witness in Rttssia,
true men and women cannot rernein
quiet at their sight," he asserts. IIe
closed with an appeal for help for Rus-
sia and asked, "Are there in this eotut-
try living men and will they hear me?"

STABBED BY RIVAL.
FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN HUSBAND
AND A RIVAL.
Cincinnati Woman Views From Window
Deadly Combat Between Man She
Wed and One She is Said to Have
Loved.
Cincinnati, July 29. -Edward Day, an
expert mechanic of Iladdenfield, N. J.,
was fatally stabbed this morning 'by
Elmer Pittman, whom Day claims won
the affections of his wife, Mrs, Gertrude
Day, andinduced her to leave her
home in New Jersey six months ago;
and come to Cincinnati. The stabbing
'occurred duiring .It idespiet oto shrapnel
between the two men in front of Mrs.
Day's home at 109 East Ninth street.
Site stood at a window and watched
the duel between her husband and his
rival. After the former was taken to
the City Hospital she visited him and
spent several hours beside his cot, but
no one was permitted to overhear their
conversation.
The fight between Day and Pittman
was the climax of a rivalry that began
during courtship days, when Mrs. Day
was Gertrude Matlock, one of the pret-
tiest girls of Haddetfield. Both men
were suitors for her hand, but Day,
the older, was the successful ont. After
they had been married for several
years the wife suddenly disappeared
from house. For months Day searched
for her, but secured no trace of her
whereabouts, until a month ago, when
he learned that she had come to this
city. He found her living on Rich-
mond street, and also found his old
rival, ElImer Pittman. The husband
caused their arrest, but the charge
against them was dismissed in Police
/,Court.
Mrs. Day moved to Ninth street and
Pittman was often seen going in and
corning from the house. Day was also
a frequent visitor there, pleading with
his wife to return to him.
This morning Day met Pittman corn-
ing out of the house. There was a few
brief words and the men clinched in a
desperate struggle. Day, who is much
the stronger, had the advantage of his
opponent until the latter drew a long
knife and plunged it into the abdomen
of his adversary.
Pittman was arrested and will be
held on the charge of stabbing to kill
pending the outcome of Day's injury.
The prisoner says that he is an airship
inventor. His plea to the charge agains'
hint will be self-defense.

they are regularly' employed men, who
have been in training for weeks, though
not wearing uniforms. Every car is in
service as usual, and not only are we
able to man them, but we have been able
also to provide the usual noon relief. We
are fully provided with men, most of
Whom are our old men." Mr. Magnus
Sinclair, representing the union men.
said: "The strike is still on. While
some of the men have gone back to
work, and while with the additional im-s
ported strike-breakers the company are
able to make a show of running cars, the
carrying of passengers is very small,. A
meeting was held this morning at head-
quarters, at which over fifty members
were present, who expressed their full
determination to remain loyal to the
last."
