Georgrj Kecnan, the noted Siberian trav
eler, now in Minneapolis, L is received
farther particulars of the flogginfe to death
qc a female prisoner in Siberia, faiis let
ter he has given to the press. To an Asso
ciated Press reporter he said:
"I have fast received from a Eussian ac
quaintance in Paris the following letter
with regard to the reported flogging to
deata of ITadame Sigida at the mines of
Kara in eastern Siberia. I have every rea
son to believe that my correspondent is
trustwortny, and that he has received
directly from th? province of the Trans
Baikal the information that he sends me,
bet farther tbnn this I know nothing. The
story of the flogging of iladame Sigida and
the suicide of her companion Tnq been
officially denied by the Journal de St.
Petersburg the organ of the Russian for
eign oflice and by the St. Petersburg
Xovoe Vremya, but these denialti, unfortun
ately, do not carry as much weight as they
would if the Eussian government hai not
denied the story of the slaughter of politi
cal exiles in Kayutsk last ITarch a
story that I am prepared to prove before a
committee of of tho International Prison
Association."
The letter is as follows:
Pjlhis, Feb. 13. 1S93. My Dear Mr. Eennan:
I hasten to seed you the detaild tvo received
hers yesterday fiom Siberia of the tragedy at
Kara, with regard to which I Tvrote you briefly a
fevdays ago. We learn from a trustworthy
Eource that, upon the suggestion or initiative
of L'aron Korn", governor-general of the Amoor
provinces, it was decided some months ago to
put ail the political offenders at the mines of
Kara upon tho footing of common convicts.
Upon this decision orders ware received from
St. Petersburg to turn the political convict
womoa over to Commandant Tomilin, the di
rector of the common criminal prisons, an ! to
have them shut np in the cells occupied by
fexnalo convic s of the common criminal claai).
The Kara, tragedy wca the result of this order
which was mado known to the political prison
ers on tho Hth of last October; niTo than half
of the male I'olitical convicts proposed, at once,
to commit suicide ; but oa ail would not a.eo
to this, it was linally decided to await deQnite
action on the part of the prison authorities.
Tho men gave notice, bowev. r. that they would
kill themselves at the first attempt to carry
the order into ex cation. About the same time
severi.ies bgm in tho women's political
prison. Mme. Kavalskaya, by order of Gov.
Gen. Kcrff, bnd bejn transferred from Kara to
the Vtrihni Cd.n'k prison, and this had pre
pared the way for the events that follo-ved
As Eoon as her female companions learned the
harrowin'details of her removal to Verkhni
Cdin'ik, the crcumstances of which were aa
follows :
Boron Korff paid a visit of insrestion to tho
women's political prison at Ct Kn and en
ter d th3 cell where Madame Kavalskaya was
lying sick In bed. It is a strictly enforce 1 rale
in all Jlnseian rrisons that when an offieir
and especially an officer of high rank entsra a
cell evi ry prisoner shall rise to hia or her feet
and stand in tho attitude of attention. Madame
Kava'skaya. who was in an adTiinced sta;e ot
prisan consumption, neither rose from her bed
nor noticed in any way the governor general's
entrance. Baron Korff, ignorant perhaps of
the unfortunate weman's phynical con -ition,
asked her roughly whether she did not know
who h. id entered thd cell and why she did not
get up. Madame Kavalskaya replied wearily:
"It makes no difference now whether you are
the governor-general or only a turnkey; lam
unable to get up.''
Baron Korff, irritated apparently by what
seemed to him impertinence, ordered that
Malama Kavalskaya be taken to the Verkhni
Cdinsk pribon and the e be pet into solitary
confinement. The order was executed by Ma
siukof, the commanding 0l5-er of tho Ust Kara
prion, with great brutality. Madame Kavals
kaya was herself unable to walk, and the was
thereupon taken out of her bed by two soldiers,
carried dawn to the bank of the Shilka river in
a sneet, and put into a small boat for transport
ation to the Verkhni Cdinsk pricon. -Her com
panions held CommandantMasmkof responsible
and appealed to the higher authorities for the
letter's removal. When their appeal was unre
garded they proceeded to enforce it by means
of a hunger strike 'voluntary self-starvation)
and a hunger strike of unheard-of duration.
They fasted the first time sixteen days, when,
at last. Commandant Maaiukof tendered his
resignation. The higher authorities refused
to accept it and the hunger strike was
renewed for eight days more, at the ex
piration of which time the women were
notified that the obnoxious Commandant
Ma6iukof would be removed to another post.
The promised removal, however, did not
take place, and again the hunger strike
was renewed. This time it continued twenty
two days, but most of the women were kept
alive in spite of their refusal to eat, by the ad
ministration of food artificially. At the end of
this terrible hunger strike cn!y Madame Sigida
and Madame Solova wera able to stand on their
feet. Madame Sigida asked for an interview
with the commandant and in the course of it
struck him in the face. Whether the blow was
provoked by some'hing that he said to her, or
whether she intended to sacrifice herself with
tho hope of bett:r ng the condition of her com
panions, is sot known. The hunger strikers
were not aware of her intention to strike the
commandant, if she bod such an intention
when she loft them. Madame Sigida was re
moved to the common criminal prison at Cst
Kara, aa were aiso Medames Koluziinaya and
Fniirnitskaya, and, according t ) one account,
Madame Kavalskaya. The result of the blow
given by Madame Sigida to Commandant
MaEinkcf was a telegram from Gov.-Gen. Korff,
directing that she be flocged. The prison sur
geon made the cus ternary examination other
and reported that she wa net in condition
to endure the punishment. Barca Korff was
notified of the surgeon a decision nzid cf his re-
nsal to be pre. ent at the Hogging. He there
upon telegraphed
"Carry the order into execution without the
presence cf the doctor."
Madam Sigida was then fiocged under the su
pervision of the assistant of the common crim
inal prison an officer named Vcrtofaki. (An
other Ittter gives the name of the assistant di
rector as Bobrof a i). She died two days later
from heart failure and almost immediately af
terwards Mesdames Smimitnkaya, Kalurhnaya
and Kavalskaya poisoned themselves. The
other women were so isolated that they did
not know what had happened, but news of the
terrible tra;edyreached tee men's prison, and,
according to information furnished by the pro
cut er, thirty of the male political convicts took
poison. Only two of them,.howeTer Kaluzhnoi
and' Eoboklor died. The others were saved by
medical treatment. Hecker. who was living
outside the prison, in the "free command," shot
frimsftf in the head, out as his weapon was a
very """ and cheap one the wcxmd wa3 not
fatal. In the words of one of the Kara political
convicts r "This is the beginning of the end."

fireman "Walker, who wiil probably be
the leading witness against Commander
HcCalla before the court of inquiry, ma'a
affidavit to the story of his treatment, in
which he presentel the statement that ha
was not drunk when arrested and put in
irons, and then. Bays :
"I Was trying to explain to Capt. M"c
Calla, but he was drunk himself, having
just come from a ball ashore. He paid no
attention to what I said, bat ordered the
officer of the watch to cut me down. His
orders wera not obeyed and Capt. McCalla
sent his orderly for bis sword. At this
time I was chained hand and foot to a
nice-inch gun in the starboard gangway
near the starboard ladder. The irons wera
tho latest pattern of prison shackles with
spriog locks. Three pairs were on me
one pair on my legs, another on my hands,
snd another chaining me to the gun. "Capt.
AlcCalla shouted:
" 'Stand clear while I cut him down.'
"He then walked behind me. T was
chained in such position that I could not
see what he was doing. Ha. deal: me a
terrible blow on the back of tho bead, lly
cap had fallen off and the blow cut deep
into my head. Blood instantly began to
flow in a torrent down the back of my
neck.
"'You should be proud of this,' I said,
after he struck me. 'You are spilling the
bioud of a good southerner.'
"As I said this Captain McCalla ordered
the marines standing by to gag me and one
of them put his bayonet ia my mouth and
tied it behind with a piece of hemp. I did
not curse ilcCalla, but after I was
gagged he struck me a second and third
blow. As he struck the second time First
Lieutenant Ingersoll cried out 'For God's
sake don't kill the man,' and turned his
head away so as not to see. As Captain
ITcCalla struck me again and brought me
to my knees, I heard some of my mates
forward shout, 'Now you have done it,' to
the captain.
" 'Yes,' sung out ITcCalla. Then he
added, speaking to the watch: 'Get that
man there and I will do him the same way.'
The officer cf the watch ran forward ta get
the man, but he got away. Before I
became unconscious the captain or
dered the master-at-arms to bail up salt
water. As the buckets were drawn up and
placed on deck, Capt. jlcCalla himself
took them and threw water on me. By
the time he finished with this the loss of
blood and the shock of the cold water had
driven me entirely out of my head. After
that 1 remember nothing until two days
Iater.-
As soon as he could he deserted.
DECLARED SAE.
Minick Convinces the Court That He Knows
Too Much to Be a Crazy Man.
The sensational commitment case of W
J. J. Alinick to Dixmont as an insane pa
tient came up in Pittsburg, Pa , when the
psendo patient appeared before Judge
White and was asked to prove his standing
as a sane man. Alinick was committed at
the instance of his wife, and upon the
statement of two reputable physicians as
being dangerously insane, but the all
powerful habeas corpus produced him in
court. Mrs. Minick was the first witness
against her husband, and charged him with
a category of ills, from melancholia to in
fidelity. She confessed, however, that
she had once given birth to an illegitimate
child. The daughter was then called, and
among Alinick' 3 peculiarities she said he
had a penchant for cooking his, own meals.
Judge White turned a scathing fira of
cross-examination upon both the women
and upon Bra. Sandels and ale Cord, who
committed the man. He also scored what
he called the general practice of physicians
to commit a man upon hearsay evidence,
and was especially severe in this case, as
tho man was thrown into an asylum be
cause he was. as the doctors said, a nono
mauia:. When asked upon what subject
e was ma d, they said, "marital infidelity."
Minick was then called to the stand, and
in a very qaiet manner upset the entire
case of the prosecution. He made one re
mark that they had been married some
trenty-three years and his wife had been
unfaithful to him at intervals. Minick
then brought several names into the dis
cussion, among them a prominent minis
ter, and offered to bring witnesses, but the
court said that they were not needed, and
peremptorily ordered the man's release.
The court-room was jammed to suffoca
tion, and the liberated man waa nearly
carried away by a rush of friends. Not
withstanding the acquittal, public opinion
is divided.
A CHICAGO DIVORCE.
A Prominent Garden City Coopte Dissolve
Their Marital Relations.
Mrs. Came L. W. Lirhgow, a well
known and wealthy Chicago lady and her
husband, Albert G. Litbgow, met in Judge
Collins' court and mutually agreed that
the marriage ties that bound them must be
severed. The couple were married in 1S80.
Lithgow got a wife worth several hundred
thousand dollars and with an income of
$15,1)00 a year. Mrs. Lithgow claimed
that see got a husband who did little but
spend her money as fast as it came in.
Lithgow is a board of trade operator, and
in her bill for divorce Mrs. Lithgow
claimed that he divided his attention be
tween 'change and disreputable women.
Shortly after their marriage he entered
upon a wild career that lasted until 1889.
Then Mrs. Lithgow decided that something
must be dode before all her property was
gone, and she firmly informed her husband
that his career must cease. He said that
he would reform, provided that Mrs. Lith
gow would deed over to him about one
fourth of her property- Mrs. Lithgow
complied, but no sooner hid Lithgow se
cured the money than he started in once
more. Litbgow is adjudged guilty of
adultery, and the two children were given
to Mrs. Lithgow, who was granted a de
cree. The little matter of the transfer of
one quarter of Mrs. LithgoVs property to
the defendant was set aside, and in con
aideration of his release of the property
Mrs. Lithgow was ordered to pay over to
Lithgow $21,453 within thirty days. Lith
gow seemed well satisfied.

CLEARED tJB,
The Assassin oa His Death Bed Stake
Confession A Fatal Railroad Wreck
Other 7?ws
After twenty-four years the mystery cur
rounding the assassiaatidn of Dr. Jos.
H. Levering, 61 Lower Merion, has at last
been solved. The murder was one of the
most noted of its day by reason of the
sensational features surrounding it. The
veil has been lifted by the deathbed con
fession of John Q. Henderson, who has
just died at that place within a short dis
tance of the scene of the tragedy.
Feb. 13. 186G, Or. Laverinz, who had
been making a professional visit, was ia
the act of putting away hia team for the
night, and while coming out of the stable
the report of a gun wai heard from behind
a stone wall within ten feet of the
door ia which the doctor stood.
The doctor's residence waa close to
Henderson's store between the villages of
Bosemont and Whitehall. The unusual
report of a gun within the yard of the
dwelling aroused the family and the life
less body was found two minutes after the
shooting. Alarm and excitement drew a
large crowd that evening and every house
hold joined in scouring the neighborhood
for-the assassin, Henderson assisting. "An
inquest was held and after a searching in
vestigation nothing could be ascertained to
permit the smaller t suspicion falling upon
anyone. The excitemeat occasioned by
the shooting was slow to die out. The
leading citizens of the locality, including
Henderson, issued circulars offering a re
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the
murderer.
m With the lapse of time the murder sank
from public attention, but gossip re
counted manj interesting incidents in the
relationship which had existed between
Henderson and Levering. Henderson was
the proprietor of the viljage store and was
of good repute. When the war broke out
Dr. Levering was drafted and Henderson
went to the army as his substitute. Among
the other considerations for this service
the doctor was to have charge of Hender
son's business and his family. It was said
at the time that Henderson be
came jealous of the doctors attention
to the family, but he afterwards
showed no evidence of such feelings. The
crime was not attributed to him. Hender
son resumed his business, and five years
subsequently illness compelled him to re
tire. He moved to Philadelphia, but le
turned to his former home and once again
became a leading citizen of Lower Merion.
Fearing that this illness was to be his
last he called in bis family to his bedside
and in the presence of the family physician
confessed to killing Dr. Levering in cold
blood. He described the tragedy minutely,
and also confessed to sending Dr. Levering
on a decoy call previous to the shooting.
Henderson exaired a little before midnight.
He gave no reason for his bloody deed and
the confession has caused as much of an
excitement as did the crime itself.
SIX TVEKE KILLED.
Aa Accident on the lake Shore Railroad
With Fatal Results.
A train on the Lake Shore from the west
broke ia two aear Bayview, N. Y. The
front part of the train, consisting of the
engine, tender, smoker and two day
coaches, were quickly brought to a stand
still. The rear half, composed of five
heavy Pullmans, came down on the grade
and crashed into the second day coach.
The Pullman being heavier, lifted the day
coach into the air, and they now lie one on
top of the other and both having telescoped
the first coach. Both day coaches and the
Pullman were full of passengers. Six per
sons were killed and a number wounded.

To Torn a Scalawag: Loose.
The Ohio board of penitentiary managers
has made an order recommending to Presi
dent Harrison the pardon of E. L. Harper,
the former president of the Fidelity bank,
whose wreck by a Chicago wheat deal in
the summer of 1887 is still well remem
bered in speculative circles.
The action of the board is the result of a
long effort on the part ot his friends, and
was probably successful from the fact that
the present board will soon be legislated
out of office. Harper has always had a
strong "pull" with the present penitentiary
management, but public sentiment has
so far kept the board from appealing to
the president on his behalf. It is be
lieved that with other efforts for his par
don on the part of influential friends ia
Cincinnati and elsewhere Harper will soon
be released by order of the president.
The action of the board was intended to be
secret, but leaked out through the steno
grapher employed ia the prison.

A T-euisvUle Bank Teller Flees to Canada'
William H. Pope, teller of the Louis
ville, Ky., City National bank, a trusted
employee and frequenter of the best social
circles of Louisville, is gone. His absence
from the bank yesterday morning excited
no eommentj as it wan supposed he was at
his sick sister's bedside or in the country,
detained by the flood. When no word was
received from him at 10:30, the officers of
the bank became suspicious and opened
the vault. A hasty examination shows that
between $40,000 and $60,000 in large bills
are missing, the gold and silver coin being
left intact. A careful examination will be
required to get at the entire amount Pope
took with him.
It was learned that Pope left on the 7:53
o'clock train Saturday night for Chicago,
where it is supposed he stopped witi Lis
brother Samuel over Sunday, leavinz at
noon for Canada. Pope was 38 years old
and bad been with the bank since 18S1. Ed
had"" been leading a Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde life for many years as many compan
ions are aware.
It was learned that Pope did not go to
Chicago art was thought, but left SaturJay
night for Cincinnati, where it ia believed
he took the train for Detroit. It is ru
mored that the carriage which took Pope
to the train from his Jefferson street room
contained a woman.
The Fidelity and Casualty Trust com
pany, of New York, was Pope's surety for
$20,000. The company will spend twice
the amount of Pope's bond to secure bin
arrest, the agent states. The bank officers
state that the amount of the embezzle
ment, in round numbers, is $60,000, and
they think Pope carried that amount with
him.
REFUSED TO BE DEAD.
A St.
Loaisan Makes His Reappearance
After Burial.
The St. Louis press is puzzled over the
case of John J. O'Connor, which is cer
tainly a most remarkable one. It was
claimed that he had died, and that his
body was taken to the morgue, where he
was identified by his wife, who had him
buried in Calvary cemetery. A few days
later it was claimed that O'Connor was
alive, that his wife had been mis
taken, aad that the man who was taken
to the grave was not her husband. It
now transpires that there is every
reason to believe that O'Connor waa
not buried by proxy, but in his own
proper person some time between the night
of Monday, Feb. 10, and the afternoon
of Wednesday. O'Connor ras seen and
stated most emphatically that the grave in
the cemetery is empty and he exhibited a
cut which had been made half way across
the abdomen. He is of the opinion that
he was really buried and that his body was
taken up and conveyed to a dissecting
room while in a state of suspended anima
tion, and that when the first incision was
made it caused a flow of blood which re
stored hini to consciousness. He stated
that he went to a lodging house Monday
evening and that he knew nothing more
until Wednesday night, when he found
himself seated on the court-house steps in

RELIGIOX AND THE STATE.
A Hebrew Minister's Warning to the
American Congress.
Kov. Dr. Tobias Schangarber, of Balti
more, lectured at the Ham Sinair temple
on "Religious Movements in Congress."
He said that the introduction of bills
savoring of religion would shake the very
foundations of our government and work
for the establishment of anarchy. These
legislators forget, in their zeal for
their religion, that they are endangering
the existence of a grand strncture. The
standards of their religion are pessimistic
full of darkness and gloom. Where its
precept3 are not stroDg enough to require
adherence, they would call in the strong
arm of government for their heavenly
work. Not by all the Blair Sunday rest
and education bills that were ever devised
will a condition ol affairs be instituted to
the credit of government by joining our
public schools to the church of non-sectarian
Christianity. Force is a weak
weapon; we have enough law we want
more liberty. Chain the mind of a free
thinking man, and it will soon break
through and hurt the tyrant.

famous lottery bill will be reintroduce I in
the legislature March 4 or soon thereafter,
and that M. A. Dauphin, president of the
Louisiana State Lottery companv, is now
in the city. Circulate and forward a pro
test to the secretary of this committee at
once. Arrange to have the leading citizens
ready to come to Bismarck to exert their
influence against the bill."
. The cilizjns here are considerably ex
cited and the sentiment seems to be that
the bill will pass if introduced again.

Handicapping the American Cattle Trade.
In the commons Leng the member for
Dundee, asked whether the condition of
Americaa cattle- justified a regulation pro
viding for the slaughter at pjrts where
landed. Chaplin, head of the agricultural
department, replied that the Americaa gov
ment is not complying with tbe conditions
of the act of 1878, and therefore the pres
ent restrictions could not be relaxed. In
1889 forty-seven cattle from America af
fected with pleuro-pneumonia arrived in
England.
