The Turkish War.

The New York Tribune, of the 8 st,
after a careful inspection of its foreign
files, has the following:
The news from the seat of war in Asia
far from the Danube there is nothing
favorable to the Turks. While the in
tellgence OF the defeat of Osman Pasha's
fotilla at Sinop, as reported by the previ-
Gus steamer, is confirmed in its essential
points, it is shown to hafe been grossly
exaggerated, and its true nature concealed
by the Russian bulletins. The superiori-
ty OF the Russians was very great, and
the valor OF the Turks no less desperate
than we supposed. Indeed, the affair
now wears the appearance of Russian
rather than Turkish defeat, for tw5 Of
the Muscovite ships were destroyed in the
contest.
The carnage among the Turks was ex-
ceedly great, five thousand of them hav-
ing been killedin thesingle fghtappearsby
the most authentic reports. Certainly, the
fighting was desperate and whatever the
bravery of the Russians, considering their
overwhelming superiority, they could not
fight with the same enthusiasm as their
opponents. On land, it is reported that
the Russians have gained signal advanta;
ges in the neighborhood of Akholzik; but
tits not pretended that they have recon-
quered that important fortress, and we
may, therefore, well regard their preten-
ded victory as mainly apocryphal. On
the other hand, we see no reason to disbe-
lieve the statement that the Circassians
and Turks are acting together, and that
they have captured Redut Kaleh, the
principal Russian fortress to the Black
Sea. Thus they have regained the most
of the ground lost by them during the
last seventy-fve years, and reduced the
Russian advances almost to naught.
Gale ON the Atlantic Coast--Loss of Life
and Ship.
We learn from Cape Cod that parts of
vessels have been drifting ashore all along
the coast. They were probably vessels
which were swamped, and the crews Of
which perished. 90 lives are known to
have been lost at that point.
A dispatch from Halifax says the gale
there, on the 22d and 23d, was of the
most violent character, sinking a number
of vessels along the wharves, and wreck
ing many along the coast.
The same dispatch says that the ship
Staffordshire, bound from Liverpool to
Boston, was wrecked off Cape Sable on
the 3Oth, and all on board, composing the
officers and crew, "a in number, and 100
passengers, perished.
The loss of property in wharves, &C.,
along the coast has been large. At Hall
fax the loss is set down at $40, 900.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN The Nj

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN The MEN.
During the voting in the Senate on the
choice of a President pro tenspors an in
cident occurred, which showed, in glaring
colors, the difference between the Wing
leader in that body, and the Democrat
called upon to preside until the Lieutenant
Governor was sworn in.
Mr.. Atkinson was nominated as the
Democratic candidate for President pro
'engore-Mr. Lawrence as the Wing can
didate for the same Office. The election
being viva voce, when the name of Mr..
Atkinson was called, true to the gentle
manly feelings and courtesy of his nature,
he voted for hisopponent, Mr.. Lawrence.
When the name of Mr. Lawrence was
subsequently called, instead of returning
the compliment, he, true to the want of
gentlemanly feelings which has ever char
acttrized him, voted for a Wing who was
not candidate. The incident is eharaa-
teristic of the men,-O. s. Democrat.
A ScENE.--The other night wedding
was to come off in Washington City, but
was checked up in most dramatic way.
The Rev. Mr.. Evans, the clergy officiating,
commenced the ceremony and proceeded
to the part where he calls on any one pre-
sent to speak out if knowing of the impede
ment to the consummation of the ceremony.
Whereupon fair one, who up to that time
stood timidly back in the crowd, rushed
forward and siezing the afrighted BRIDE
groom by the throat, dragged him i'm
mediately from the room and house, ere
the intended bride could come to his re-
scue. Since then, the disconsolate half
married young person has not heard from
her spirited away half husband
~ Of $40 convicts confined in the
Tennessee penitentiary, 58 were temper
ate before sentence, and 2O2 Incorporate,
and 1877 were drunk when they commit
ted crime. There are 43 whose fathers
were temperate; 179 whose fathers were
intemperate, of whom 72 were common
drunkards. There are 8 who have had
classical education, common English
education, 1o5 who can read and write,
So who can read only, and 65whocan nei-
ther read nor write. These statistics show
very clearly that intemperance and the
want of education are The two most fruit
full sources of crime.

MS Sneep-SKln, and kicked him out OF the
Aof
Though free man, Peter was brought
up in Livonia, and ran as fast possible
from the counts boots. The nigh was
pitch-dark, for the moon and stars were
hidden by heavy mist; and when Peter
thought of slackening his pace, neither
the hcf nor its dependencies could be seen.
There was red CLEAN on the plain before
him, however, which he took to be the
great pine-torch shining through his
mothers window. Old Roskin was at
home that day nursing their COW, which
had fallen sick, and Peter had sad intelli-
gence for her. He knew it would break
his mothers heart to leave the old cot
tage, and she didn't admire Ratanka more
than himself; but the young man resolv-
ed to go home and take her advice any,
way. The light guided him steady
through the mist, but Peter never thought
the way SO long. He quickened his pace;
the light grew larger and stronger. 1t
wasn't his mothers torch now, but the
blaze of huge fire, which, to Peters
amazement, rose from the bishops ruined
castle, at the entrance of which he found
himself, which dead horse and an up
turned sledge lay close by in the snow.

the subject and leaves tho outlay . matter Of ~
mncb mystery - ever. The only causes given for
the cost OF the road to Bpghsmton, exceeding, BY
several millions Of dollars, The sum estimated for the
sions, and the Datu Of the country through which
the road passes. 1t il also stated BY the company
that wien the estimates. whi,h were published just
before the oper ing OF the books for tho TIRES mil
lions stock subscription were made careful and ac-
curste survey had not been made but tho staements
of the preceding board Of directors were taken,
supp0eing item to be IN the main correct; but OK
peiience has shown that they were imperfect and
unreliable. This admission Is something; but 1t Is
net sufficient TO account satisfactorily for such an
enormous ncrease In the cost. A mistake of two
or three millions in the estimates for the whole
length Of road would have been, perhaps excusable;
but mistake Of between five and six millions In
the estimates for less than one half Of the line ex
bibits such GROSS ignorance that it Ii impossible to
account for II satisfactorily.
The president Of the company says, in his address,
that very considerable item OF expenditure is
found in the settlement Of the old indebtedness Of
the concern; the amount Of which was not accu-
rately known when the new stock subscrp lions were
obtained. This Is something new to us, a. doubt
less is to the old bondholders and those holding old
claims against the company. These d bonos, and
most of the Old claims are at this moment, unsettled
The board Of directors have recently adopted the
port Of committee appointed to provide for these
bones, &C., wceren it Is stated that tho resources
Of the concern having been exhausted, they cannot
be paid at maturity, and recommend that new
bonds, having Ave years TO run, be given in ex'
change This does not look much like the ex pendi-
ture Of large amount OF money IN liquid alton OF
these claims. Before going more into details re-
lative to the enormous cost Of this road In this ad
yanced age Of railroad construction we shall wait
the promised report of the president that we may
have the last and best data at our command.

' York AND ERIE RAILROAD,


The aggregate receipts in 1913 amounted to
$3l09l2 rs, from which deduct the earnings of the
first five months and there is left the sum Of
sl9445 rs, the income Of the last seven months
of the year. The increase in the receipts for the
first Ave months OF ls49, compared with 1s4s,
amounts to 44,649-equal to one hundred and
twenty. FIVE per cert. The same per cent increase
fol the remaining seven months would give income
for that time OF s437 523 l9equa to about $50 900
pei month which, added to the rece pts already real
lied for the first five months, would give total Of
$69S 10 for the year. II will at once be seen that
this sum will not be sufficient to enable the compa
ny to meet its current enge gements, such as run
ming expenses interest &c. 1t Is estimated that the
receipts for June amount to $4,000, and thai Ia
in onr opinion liberal and there must be for the re-
naming six months great increase on even that
sum, to give gross revenue for the year large
el ough to make both ends meet.
The immense amount of indebtedness hanging
over this company, upon which the interest is &C
cruipg,. requires large income annually over aud
above the running expenses 70 meet it, and the pro
liability Of realizing that revenue is at present ra.
