COSSACK HORRORS.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN RID-
DEN DOWN.
LIVE MEN THROWN INTO
FURNACES.
London, March 17. During the recent strike at Lodz the Cossacks committed terrible outrages. A number] of women and children collected in the yard of the Poznauski factory. The manager thereupon locked the factory doors and blew the factory's siren. This call attracted a force of drunken Cossacks, who rode into the yard and trampled down the women and children, 14 of whom were killed. Some of them were driven into the river, and six were drowned.
At Catherine works, _ Sosnovitch, 17 of the workmen were killed and wounded by volleys from the Cossacks. The victims were then plundered. Some of them, though still alive, were thrown into the furnaces. Their charred remains have been found.
