Metcha, in the vicinity of Rustchuk, and
were repulsed after six hours engagement.
Losses on both sides were heavy. Snow three
feet deep on the Balkan Mountains, and all
military operations suspended In thai quar-
ter. 1t is reported that the surrender OF
Kars was due to the treachery Of Turkish
Pasha, who'was bribed by the Russians to
abandon the commanding fertilization after
merely nominal resistance.
A Russian official dispatch of the I'd
says: After the capture of Pravatz the
Turks abandoned Navatchas, Skoivena and
Orchanie, retreating to the Balkan defile
near Uretchask. The country between the
rivers Isker and Oquest Is quite free from
Turks. We have occupied Belobro and

A GALVESTON dispatch of the I'd says
that up to that date nothing has been
heard from Lieut.. Bulls and Colonel
Young, who sometime previously cross
ed the Rio Grande with detachment
of United States troops in pursuit of
thieving Lipans and Mexicans. 1t was
believed that they had either
been killed or captured. A
fight between the adherents
of Lerdo, under Gen. Amador, and the
Government proper under Gen. Fall
con, had taken place about 20 miles
from Matamoras, in which the insur-
gents were routed and many killed.
The result is said to have been part of
an deliberately planned revolution by
Escobedo, which was to be developed
simultaneously along the entire border,
but was frustrated by the energy Of the
Government commanders. ..

Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever

Diphtheria and scarlet fever have be-
come sporadically epidemic in this
country, but the most afflicted of large
places are Brooklyn, L. l., and Pater-
son, N. j. In the former city, between
Jan. and Oct. 1, 1877, there were 1,6O5
cases of diphtheria reported at the San
itary Bureau, of which 5S1 proved fatal,
and of 1920 cases of scarlet fever 5SS
were fatal. In Paterson diphtheria is
making great ravages, and in a large
majority of instances the cause of all
these woes is defective drainage, stag
nant water, or impure surroundings of
some kind. The science of affording
healthful conditions of living is appa-
rently in its infancy.

Historical Society has a prehistoric
copper ak, weighing five pounds and
one ounce, the largest on record the
old ak in the collection of the society
was the largest up to date, and weighs
four pounds and u ounces. This AK
was discovered by one A. E. HOLSTER,
by the side of a country read near To-
man; the road had been cut through a
ridge, and late heavy rains had washed
away the soil in the side-ditch and ex-
posed the edge of the AK to view; two
copper rods, about IL inches long and a
half inch in diameter, lay cross-wise atop
of the ax.

Cool in San FranciscoP Yes; too
cool half the time for comfort and fog
every day, morning and night-fog
thick, damp, nasty and clammy. Scor-
pions in the country-sting with their
