PHONE NO. 495.
Last evening about G:30o'clock
at the Bradley restaurant on
Commerce street Abe Carman, a
bricklayer of this city, was stab-
bed by a man named Step
Onesby and fatally wounded.
The knife entered his chest
i j jsi above the left nipple and at a
i late hour last night his attending
physician, Dr. Higgins, stated
that it was impossible for him to
live but a short while, as th*
knife had penetrated vital parts-
The occurrance is a deplorable
one indeed.
From the most reliable state*
rnents the Hesperian represents
tive could get last night, was
that Carman was trying to sepe-
rate Arch Hunter and John Mey-
ers, who were lighting, when
Step Onesby euterferred. This
b ought about the difficulty be-
tween Carman and Oensby
which resulted in Carman receiv-
ing the knife wound, and who iS
how ij ing at the sanitarium in a
dying condition.
Several arrests were promptly
| made by the officers, but all
were turned loose except Step
Onesby, who was placed in jail
pending further investigation,
Carman has a wife and two
children.
Onesby is a lad about 20 years
old and is single.

THE ROAR
OF BATTLE
THE REQUIEM OF REDELS SLAIN
Thousands Mowed Down By Ar
senal Canon.
Moscow, Dec. 25.—Midnight.—The situation is hour-
ly growing worse. The insurgents hold several quarters
of the city and fighting continues desperately.
Two large arms stores have been pillaged and the
weapons distributed among the men, who have erected
barricades along the Sadovia, which encircles the whole
city and surrounding country.
The military has succeeded in insolating various sec-
tions, preventing communication. From the heights
colored signal rockets are showing instructions to the
isolated commanders.
The searchlights on the Soukaroff and other towers
illuminate the streets where fighting in progressing.
The roar of cannon continues. Machine guns are be-
ing used to clear the Sadovia. It is impossible to esti-
mate the number of dead and wounded, but it probably
will run into the thousands.
lu a square in the heart of the city the insurgents
are making a desperate fight from a house, using an Eng-
lish machine gun from a window against a battery which
is cannonading them.
fit- Petersburg, Dec- 25.—With
Moscow’s baptism of blood, the
revolutionaries made good their
threat to transform the strike
into armed rebellion, and the
next forty-eight hours should
determine whether they can
marshal sufficient strength to
plunge the country into an actual
state of’civil war and seriously
threaten the immediate downfall
of the government.
The government professes
confidence that the whole attempt
will fail, owing to the woeful in*
sufficiency of arms in possession
of the proletariat and by reason
of the loyalty of the army as a
whole, kutits calculations might
again be rudely upset. A few
arsenals might be seized to fur-
nish arms or the open support of
a few regiments might start a
landslide in the army. Certainly
the shrewdest of the revolution-
ary leaders fully appreciate that
the issue must be decided oy the
attitude of the army, which is
yet to cast its die.
Instructions have gone forth
that risings must occur every-
where in order to test the troops
and if a foothold can be secured
it is the intention of the revolu-
tionaries to set up a provisional
government and proclaim a re-
public.
Thus far reports from Moscow
do not clear up the vital point as
to whether any of the troops
there actually refused to obey
commands, although there are
persistent rumors that they did.
Revolutionary leaders here claim
to have confirmation of a report
that a free grenade brigade and
some Cossacks mutinied and are
now locked up in their barracks
While the military succeeded
everywhere in driving the in-
surgents from their barricades
in Moscow Saturday night, the
defeat evidently was not a decis-
ive one. as barricades were again
thrown up in dozens of places
this morning and fighting was
renewed before 11 o’clock.
LOS ANGELES
HOTEL DURNS
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 25.—In
the largest hotel fire in the his-
tory of L >s Angeles, the Van
Nuys Broadway hotel, one of the
first class hostelries of the city,
located at 412 422 South Broad-
way, in the heart of the business
district, was almost completely
destroyed yesterday. One hun-
dred and ten guests, most of
whom were stilT in bed at the
t’me the fire broke out, escaped
in scant clothing to the street.
Many of them got out in their
night clothes and practically all
suffered the loss of their entire
baggage and personal belong-
ings. Five firemen were injured
during the progress of the flames
by the collapse of the rear of the
second floor. They were precip*
itated into the basement and all
suffered more or less serious in-
juries.
Furious Fighting.
SHERMAN GETS
A GOOSE EGG.
The foot ball game which was
played yesterday by the Gaines-
ville team vs- the Sherman team
was witnessed by a large crowd
who were very demonstrated in
their enthusiasm aud manifested
an interest from the beginning
to the final play of the game.
Burch, Jones and Staniforth
did the star playing for Gaines-
ville, while Sherman played bet-
ter in the second half and had
there been more new suppoit
when Thompson came the score
would have probably not been
17 to 0 in favor of Gainesville.
Sherman principally lost their
equilibrium before they lost the
game
The Gainesville boys may in-
deed boast of a place in the first
ranks of Texas.

HER DREAMS
CAME TRUE
Lawrenceburg, Ind. Dec. 25.—
The body of Mrs. Martin Holmes
was brought here from her late
home in Witt, III, and interred
in the family burying ground in
M nchester township.
Mrs Holmes was accidentally
shot by her son while he was at-
tempting to draw a loaded shell
from a gun. In forcing the shell
it exploded just as his mother
entered the room and the load of
heavy shot entered her body.
The young son is almost crazed
with grief.
It is authentically stated by
relatives that she foretold her
death, having been warned in
dreams on three successive
nights which she related to them.
On the first two nights dead re-
latives appeared to her while she
sleot and on the last night a
black robed figure of death stood
by her. She interpreted the vis-
ions as meaning of death.

St. Louis, Dec. 25.—Circuit
Attorney Sage appeared before
Judge Reynolds in criminal
court today and asked that a
nolle prose he entered in the
case of Mrs. Lillian Sprague-
who fired three shots at George
Morton. She was charged with
assault with lut.nt to kill. The
order was entered.
Mr Sager filed with the re-
quest a memorandum in which
he says:
“If it were not for '.he public-
ity given this case it would be
treated as any other case of the
kind, and the order would be ask-
ed without comment. I want it
distinctly understood that this.^
office is showing no leniency,^)
this case, but that this action is
taken solely because we cannot
get a witness who is out of this
jurisdiction- As we cannot hope
for a conviction on the unsup-
ported testimony of George Mor-
ton, and as Mr- Buren of Louis-
ville, Ky., who witnessed the
assault, refused to attend the
trial, we are in a position where
this order must be asked.”
Mrs- Sprague was acquitted
in the police court on the charge
of discharging fire arms and
soon after gave up her flat and
went to Chicago Morton re-
signed his position with the M.
K. and T-, and entered the em-
ploy of a concern having head-
quarters in Chicago.
A MERGER,
^oronto, Dec. 25.—The Central
Committee, composed of repre

ed should 1 e known as the “Unit-
ed Church of Canada.”
The revised confession of faith
of the American Presbyterian
church was used. The new
church will be governed by the
‘ General Conference” after the
Methodist form, with a president
as the chief officer. Below i9 to
be acouncil after the C ngrega-
tional idea, with a chairman at
the head. Th; next body is to be
a “Presbytery” governed by a
moderator.
The plan will be submitted to
the several denominations
throughout Canada for approval,

en.
