from the Russian side, where operations
have been confined TO Reconnaissance by
which the Russians are kept fully posted
of the dispositions of the Turkish com.
manders. The same cannot be said for
the Turks, who see regiment in every
Cossack and shut their eyes in ter
ror. They have not, like the Russians,
any friendly population to assist them
with information. The disposition and
state of preparation of the opposing
forces leads to the belief that there will
be heavy cannonading all along the Dan.

various directions, under the cover of
of which there will be Simultaneous at.
tacks by the Russians in force at Oltenit-
"a, Rustchuk, Sistova and Turnu Magu.
relli, with diversions at Kalafat and
lbrail. 1t is not probable that anything
of Importance in the way of crossing in
force will take place for the next week.
Whatever may be the other points at
which crossing will be finally attempted,
Rustchuk seems particularly unlikely to
be left unmolested, as on the possession
of Rustchuk will depend the command
of the railway which is of the greatest
Importance to the Russians. In refer
ence to the report which states that an.
other crossing is confidently expected at
Hirzova, with the view of gaining the
short line railroad running from Tchern-
wada to Kusendami, any attempt at an
resistance would probably cause
such an attempt in force to be aban-
doned, as march through the fever.

A Fire Horror in Connecticut.
BRIpgEpoRr. Conn. June

BRIDGEPoRT, Conn, June &.
A terribly disastrous fire occurred here
last night. AT 11:30 fire was discovered
in the fourth story of Glover, Sanford
& Sons hat factory. An alarm was
sounded, and the whole fire department
responded. The water supply proved
insufficient, and the fire obtained the
mastery. The flames were first seen in the
dyeing or mixing room in the fourth
story of the main building, and were
communicated by the dummy to the floors
below. The main building was $50 feet
long, fifty feet wide and four and half
stories nigh. ...r......f
While volunteers were removing the
goods from the office, one-story struct-
ure, the back and front walls fell out,
leaving the two highest walls unsup-
ported. One adjoining the Office leaned
outward, and, while shrek went up
from the spectators, fell upon the roof
of the office, crushing through to the
basement and burying those within in
the debris. At the same time the east
end wall fell, carrying the fire into the
wing. This was also completely de-
stroyed, together with the engine and
boiler room adjoining.
The wall fell about 1890, and as soon
as possible search for the missing was
commenced, but il was five o'clock be-
fore the first body was recovered. Dur
ing the next hour eight were found, and
by 1870 two others had been taken from
the ruins.
Thu naLnes of chose recovered are j y.
Acker, limbs burned on 10 tho knees;
George Acker, son of o. j., crushed; John
Gallagher, Edward OToole, Charles F.
Dart, Hugh Smith, John Maloney, VIM.
Mcintyre, and John Tomln; the latter
was burned beyond recognition, but was
identified by watch and ring. One
other body, supposed to be that of
young man named John Killenbeck, was
found with the limbs burned off. An.
other body was so crushed and burned
as to be unrecognizable, but is supposed
to be that of a man named Coyne.
The Sanfords' loss on building, ma.
chinery and stock will reach about $780,
900; insurance $150,000. There were
about $4,000 hats ready for shipment,
most of which were destroyed. The hat
shop gave employment to $50 hands,
and was to have started on the 11th with
a full force. The Sanfords had hose on
every floor, but no water could be had.

The Missouri Train Wreckera.

G. W. Rogers, General Superintendent
of the st. Louis & San Francisco Rail.
road, has just received information of
the capture of four of the band of mis-
crcants who ran the train off the track
near Wood End Station, on that road, last
Saturday night with the evident intention
of robbing it. 1t appears that a young
man named Oliver, about twenty years
old, who lives near Richland, was sus-
pected of having something to do with
the diabolical deed, and was arrested
Monday and taken to Richland. Since
then he has confessed and given the
names of the parties engaged in the affair
George Gibson, Allen Greenstreet and
James Long have been arrested, and are
now under strong guard at Richland.
There are four others who were con-
nected with the gang, but they have not
been captured yet. Young Oliver says
an ex-cohvict put up the job. The in
tention was to run the entire train offthe
track, and then, under the guise of as
sisting the wounded, rob the passengers
and plunder the train. Detective Eagan
of this city and Deputy U. s. Marshal
Langston of Springfield, Mo-, are
working the matter up, and are on the
trail of one and expect to overhaul the
other four scoundrels very shortly. All
the parties concerned live at or near
Richland, small town near the scene of
their fiendish work.
