FOR EIGN N.
THE TURKISH WAR


LONDON, Oct. ia despatch from Constau-
tinople says at an extraordinary council vester.
day IN Which the plan to grant six months
armistice was at first proposed, the council
agreed that six weeks armIstice, as proposed
by the powers, might from its shortness Sc
riously endanger Turkey in the improbable
event OF failure OF peace negotiations in the
council. 1t was decided that the Porte should
communicate to the powers the condition on
winch 1t would consent to six months arms
tice, which in its opinion, would have the fol-
lowing advantages: 1t would enable the Porte
to allay the excitement among the Mussulmen
ana not expose the Porte to the risk of having
10 resume hostilities during the inclement sea-
son, and afford an interval which would facil-
ltate an understanding upon the conditions of
peace ana general reform to be introduced in
the empire. A notification of the Porte's ac.
ceptance OF the armistice in this sense will he
made to the ambassadors today, 1t is believed
here that the Porte's conditions will be accep.-
ed. P'

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 11-Many lives were
lost by the burning of the Southern Belle II
is supposed that nearly all those who were
sleeping in the after part of the boat were
burned to death, as after the fire had once got
entirely under way 1t was almost impossible
to get at the bow of the boat, the only way of
from 500 to 800 bales of cotton. The boat was
new one and valued at $4,000. Insured for
$40, 900. mostly in New Orleans com anies. p.
Hobert, the pilot, held the bow of the boat
against the bank till all who could had escap
ed. He then leaped from the pilot house to
the lower deck and was severely injured.

NEW HAMPSHl RE.

NASHUA, Oct. 11.-Charles Fl. Hoitt, who
was arrested at Hollis a fortnight ago for
stealing horse and carriage at Norwich, CT,
made his escape on Monday. On his arrest
he feigbed sickness. The Connecticut officer
had the wool pulled over his eyes by the fell
lows dodge and allowed him to enjoy consider
able liberty.
Early on Monday morning he entered the
room of the gentleman in whose house he was
quartered, demanded his watch, which had
been deposited as security for his expenses, bid
his host good morning. telling him to tell the
confederates joined him on the road. The
fact of their presence leads to the belief that
desperate attempt would have been made to
effect his rescue if he had not succeeded in
making his escape. Hott is desperate fell
low and a noted horse thief.

ceeded with business Campbell will seek mis-
judgeshp through the courts
