THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1903. oMl WIFE MADE EFFORT AT SUICIDE Colonel Griffith of Los Angeles Has New Explanation. ELEGTRIG CARS MEET ON GURVE Four Persons Are Killed and Nineteen Badly Injured. Oollision Is Due to a Mis- understanding of the Starter’s Orders. — e PELHAM, N. H., Sept. 6.—Through a bead-on collision to-day two electric cars, each running, it is said, at a rate of more than twenty miles an hour, four persons were killed and nineteen were so serious- ly Mjured that they are under physicians’ | care and several of those are expected to | die. There were seventy passengers on the two cars and many others received cuts| and minor wounds which did not prevent | their going to their homes. The accident occurred on the line which runs through | | this town between Lowell and Nashua ! and ome of the cars which was coming from the latter cith, was nearly filed with | people on their way to a summer resort. The collision was due, according to the officials of the road, to a misunderstand- | ing of the starter’s orders by the motor- | man of the car bound for Nashua. The car starter endeavored to rectify thie mistake off the power and trying to recall the ua bound car, but it failed. | The accident occurred at a curve on ner side of which were long stretches of straight track.

The three Sen- ators from Panama, with one exception | (and he was bitterly opposed to the| treaty), and the six members of the House of Representatives have assidu- ously worked for the ratification of the | treaty. Their defection at this time, Dr. | Herran realizes, would be a serious blow | to the prospects for ratification. The one | Panama Senator who has”opposed the treaty has never lived in Panama, al- though being elected to the higher body from that department. The defection of the Panama delegates, it is suggested | here, might be in the nature of a protest | over the attitude of the opposition to the | treaty, with the possibility of secession from the National Goyernment. Dr. Herran still clings to the hope that a way will be found whereby the present treaty will be ratified. He lays much stress on the possibility that the Senate may agree to a measure to be subse- quently passed by the House, where there is said to be a majority for the treaty, giving President Marroquin authority to negotiate directly an instrument along the lines of the present treaty. ———————— LONDON, Sept. 7.—The Daily Mail appeals this_morning for the formation of a British syndicate to forestall the attempts of an Ame:- jcan company to buy up all the Dorsetshire and Devonshire “ball el mines with a_view to ebtaining control of the British pottery trade.

Bulgaria would never declare war, he added, but if war were declared against her she would accept the challenge fear- lessl As an evidence of Bulgaria’s peaceful intentions, the council decided that upon the first symptoms of disorder on the frontier martial law wouid be proclaimed at Burgas, Kostendil, Philippopolis and Sofia. The ministers expressed the opin- fon that the powers would suon reach the conviction that the Macedonian question could not be decided without their inter- vention. The Autonomye publishes the names of fitty villages burned by the Turks in the following districts: Resen, thirty vil- lages: Kostur, fourteen; B8rushewo, six and one monastery. The Turks burned four villages In the district of Strushkop- olis and murdered the priest. The popu- lation fled to the mountains. The Turks have destroved all the flour mills in the district of Resen and also every church, A fight is reported to have taken place at the village of Vetresko, tn the district of Kumanovo, between a nody of insur- gents and a Turkish battaron. It lasted four hours and the Turks lost heavily. Reports have reached revolutionary headquarters here of atrocitiss by the Turks in the village of Velmostl, in the district of Debre. The troops and Bashi Bazouks are said to have surrounded the village and part of them entered and be- gan plundering the houses and attacking the women. The other soldiers remained outside and killed those Innabitants that tried to escape. The Turks then set fire to the village in four places, burning twelve women and children. One child was hanged. Altogether sixty peasants were killed and their bodies were left ly- ing on the streets. e MASSING ON THE FRONTIER. Turkish Troops Are Ready to Pour Across the Border. LONDON, Sept. 7.—Special dispatches from Constantinople published here this morning all concur concerning the grav- ity of the situation and that the warlike feeling has been increased by the fact that the Sultan last Friday reviewed and presented colors to two new hussar regi- ments recruited from the tribes which produced the Ottoman dynasty, this be- ing the first time that the Sultan has presided at such a ceremony. The Turk- ! ish papers are making patriotic appeals to the loyalty and devotion of the nation. It is sald that an infernal machine was found in the baggage of a Bulgarian pas- senger on the Greeck steamer Margarita, bound from Burgas to Piraeus. The machine was thrown overboard and the passenger arrested. In consequence of the bomb outrage on the steamer Vas-- kapu the Austrian Lloyd Steamshlp Com- pany refuses to take passengers’ baggage between Bulgaria and’Constantinople. A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Constantinople says the military party is clamoring for war, but the Sultan still hesitates. Nevertheless troops are belng massed along the frontier in readiness to take the fleld. ? Advices from Salonica are that the au- thorities have received from Constantino- ple orders to prepare lists of the Arme-' nians and Servians living in Salonica, who will be subjected to the strictest po-, lice surveillance. On the Sultan's fete day the Manf: clubs, composed of the lowest elements of Turkish population, had made an or- ganized preparation to massacre the Christians, all of the members being pro- vided with a uniform pattern of cudgels, as was done at the time of the Armenian massacres in Constantinople. It is sup- posed that the Manfas were overawed by the military precautions, as nothing has occurred. It is announced from Gettinje, Monte- negro, that the Montenegrin Foreign Ml ister, M. Vukovitch, has started for Con- stantinople. From Athens comes the news that the Greek Government has been officially in- formed that the Grand Vizir has ordered an investigation of the Krushevo atroc ties and the punishment of the officers concerned in them. The Sofia correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sends an Tnterview with M. Tartarscheff, a member of the internal Macedonian revolutionary committee, in the course of which the latter declared that the advent of winter would by no means put an end to the struggle. It might modify it, but the Macedonians were in earnest and would not be deterred by the weather. With reference to the atrocities attributed to the insurgents, M. Tartarscheff said they might be excus- able, but were certainly explicable by the Turkish savagery which provoked them. A Varna dispatch to the Times says in- quiry shows that some members of a Macedonian band, with their baggage and ammunition, were aboard the stcamer Vaskapu and this circumstance seems to indicate that the explosion was acci- dental. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Mon- astir, telegraphing under Saturday’s date, says: ‘“There is no doubt that a Turkish war of extermination is proceeding in the | Okrida district.

Two Rifls Bullets Cut Short SALT LAKE, Sept. 6.—Former United States Senator Arthur Brown's notorious intrigue with Mrs. Annie Bradiey, a scan- dal which extended from New York to Ban Francisco, terminated to-day in an entounter in which the Senator cast off the woman, but lost four front teeth M | severing the relations which have exist- ¢4 between the couple for several years. | Brown's infatuation for Mrs. Bradley | has been a common scandal for years. Mrs. Brown, who is a soclety Womam, attempted to break off the liaison | and on three occasions had Senator | Brown and Mrs. Bradley arrested on | criminal charges. Both are now under | bond in these cases. Mrs. Brown de- | clared she would break the hold Mrs. Bradley had on the Senator If it took t! rest of her life. Steadily she has foug! Mrs. Bradley and finally she succeeded | in exacting a promise from Brown to | cast off Mrs. Bradley, under a promise to dismiss the charges now in court. | } To-day the former Senator sent for Mrs. Bradley. She visited him In his o! fice. Goaded to desperation by the insults | heaped upon her by the man who sought | to renounce and discard her to save him- | self from occupying a cell in the peni- tentiary, Mrs. Bradley declares, she as- | saulted Brown during the interview. At- taches of the office soon forced the wom- an to desist in her attack, but not before she had disfigured her enemy to the ex- tent of breaking four of his front teeth. No arrests were made. { —_———— YELLOW FEVER IS STILL EPIDEMIC AT LIANARES MONTEREY, Mexico, Sept. 6.—A fund for the yellow fever sufferers of Lia- nares, where the disease is epidemic, has started by prominent eitizens of this city.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The adminis- tration is awaiting with some interest re- | ports from United States Minister Leish- man at Constantinople and Admiral Cot- | ton, commanding the American squadron in Turkish waters, and whose cruiser: the Brooklyn and San Francisco, are now at Beirut, as to the condition of affairs in their respective localities. thing came from either of them to-d: On their advices will depend the disposition of Admiral Cotton’s ships—whether they remain in Turkish waters or to return their regular places on the European sta- | tion } ams (Turkish regular troops) are in most | to | cases committing unheard of atrocities, which are not solely the work of the Bashi Bazouks, as the authorities are seeking to prove. The plight of the sur- vivors is terrible. Not daring to leave their houses and subsisting on grass and water, they resemble people in the last stages of famine. The Turks are also losing heavily, judging from the number of wounded arriving here.” Among the instances he gives in support of his statement the correspondent re- lates that a priest's son in one village was flayed alive and kept in this horrible condition for several days, to the delight of his tormentors, until a merelful Tu shot him dead. The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that the wedding story given out by the vali of Beirut as an explanation of the outrage on United States Vice Consul Magelssen is proved to be false, and the Vice Consul's ant is belleved to be known. It is expect- ed that the United States will peremp: ily demand the dism! al of the vali, who, continues the correspondent, by common consent is ruining Beirut. His would also strike a blow at the influence of the Arab Izzet, a palace fa- vorite, whose creature he is. A letter from Beirut, dated condition of is August 29, affairs there andalous. It s ot only bribery and corruption are rampant in every branch of the adminis- | tration, but a certain lawless is man- | ifestir If among the Moslem element, which is sure to cause trouble in the fu- ture.

The house of the Itallan Consul was late- Iy rified by burglars, and on August the American Vice Consul was fired at.
