An Interesting City.

The town of Nissa, Bulgaria, where
the invading Servians were lately defeat
ed by the Turks, has had remarkable
history. II has a fortified citadel on
the banks Of the Nishawa, and is an
important strategic point. Constantine
the Great, who adorned the place with
magnificent buildings, was born al
Nissa. There the Emperor Claudius III +,
in the wear POS, defeated the Gotbs,
$4,000 OF whom were killed. Attila
destroyed the place, but 1t was rebuilt
by Justinian. There Julian the Apostate
received the news of the death Of his
adversary, Constantine. The Crusaders
marched through the town repeatedly.
It was conquered by Sultan Amurad in
1875, when the Servians and Bulgarians
were compelled TO pay him tribute.
The town fell into the hands of the
Christians when Nladislay, King of Po-
land and Hungary, joined with the
Voyvod Hunyod To destroy the Turks in
1886, but came into possession of the
Turks again in l4ii. IL remained so
until 1852, when the Grand Nizier was
defeated there by the Germans. In
1890 il capitulaied 10 the Turks. IL
was retaken by the Austrians in 1887,
but again surrendered. Near there the
Servian Prince, Stephen Singelich, in
trenched himself in 1879, but, being
overcome by superior force, blew up his
intrenchments with powder, destroying
himself and his assailants. IL was then

Held by a Chain.

Al ? O'Clock yesterday afternoon quite
a sensation was created by the appear.
ance on the street of Officer McCor-
mack, leading a little bareheaded boy
by a chain, which was secured around
the lads neck 10y heavy paddock, and
that portion of the chain that touched
the flesh was wrapped with cloth 81 AS
10 prevent il from abradng the skin.
The appearance of any one in chains
always attracts attention, and Nv the
time the officer reached the CheStnut
Street station, the street was fairly
blocked with people. The officer stated
that the boy had been found WANDERING
on Christy Avenue, near Seventh Street.
and was taken in charge by citizen.
On being questioned the lad said his
name was Willie Duering; that he wa,
: years old that he lived AT the corner
Of Fifth and Poplar Streets that the
chain had been put on him by another
boy only short time before, and that
he had been out 10 Lindell Park taking
a walk. The statement relative 20 the
chain was evidently untrue, as it had
rusted on his neck and discolCred his
shirt collar. Being questioned little
closer he said his father was a tailor.
doing business at the corner of Fourth
and Cedar Streets. lie said that he
was sometimes afflicted with spasms.
and this is probably the explanation Of
the chain. The heavy iron yoke
around such a slight neck, and the ap-
pearance of the other end of the chain,
which indicated that it had been Sc
cured somewhere, provoked many in
dignant remarks from citizens who
were attracted 10 the scene and the ex-
PLANTATION relative to spasms was not
regarded as at all sufficient Tools
were procured and the chain was taken
off, after which the boy was locked up
70 await the arrival of his parents
The father arrived during the after
noon, and his explanation of the matter
was that the boy was subject 10 period
zeal fits of insanity, and was under
treatment ut private asylum near Lin
deli Park. He knew nothing abou, the
chain or how the boy got away. His
son was delivered TO him and be took
him home.-St. Louis Republican
