The Turks in Trouble.


London, Nov. SIT is believed that
Turkish resistance is approaching an
end. The annihilation of the Turkish
army in Armenia substantially ends
the campaign in Asia, although it may
be a few weeks before the Russians
occupy all the principal points. 1t is
so patent to all parties that the Turk
ish power is broken; that the terms
upon which Russia will make peace are
now the subject of discussion in the
London journals. The Turcophile or
gans claim that the subjugation of Ar
meniais more dangerous to British in
terests than a Russian occupation Of
Constantinople, for while the latter
affects Continental Europe, no power
except Great Britain is affected by the
Russian advance in Asia. A very
strong united effort is being made to
stir up a war feeling in England. 1t
is argued that every town in India will
he unfavorably affected by the Turkish
downfall in Asia and that the result
will lie most dangerous to the English
hold on the Indian population. The
Russians have concluded the invest
ment of Plevna with a force of l3O, 900
men. II is impossible for any supplies
to get in or for Osman to get out, and
unless the Russians commit some ex-
traordinary blunder the capture Of
Osman and his army is u near certainty.
His very line of retreat across the Vid
is securely held by the Russixps, with
an overwhelming force. Once across
the rsver he would have to fight
his way through forty miles of country,
every foot bristling with Russian earth
works. The terms of peace being dis
cussed, are the Russian occupation Of
the principal seaports of Armenia, the
autonomy of Bulgaria under the rule
of a Prussian Prince, and ample guar
antees to the Christians of European
and Asiatic Turkey against Turkish
oppression. ..g4
London, Nov. S.-To-day's news
shows that Russia has got firm hold
of Armenia, including Kars, whose
garrison henceforth can do nothing for
the Sultan's cause, even if it fails to
surrender, nor is there any possible re-
lief for it, since all its approaches are
in Russian hands and strongly guard
ed. On the Danube also, the Russians
have obtained further strong foot
hold by the occupation of Rahova,
about sixty miles above Nikopolis; be-
sides increasing the Russian facilities
for obtaining supplies, it cuts Osman
Pesha off from retreat toward Widdin.
Osman's inaction while thus. being
penned at Plevna looks as il he in
tended to risk all on desperate sortie,
in the hope of overwhelming Russian
stolidity bya rushing ferocity of attack.

Heavy Smuggling.

st. Albans, November IA dispatch
from Rouse's Point says: Rufus Hea-
ton, an extensive merchant, has sus-
pended liabilities Sl95, 900; assets stated
at Sl00, 900, but they will probably not
realize that.
The large storehouse owned by
Heaton at Rouse's Point, was recently
burned. Later developments indicate
that there were some irregular transac-
tions obliterated by the contlagration,
as it is stated that United States gov
ernment officers were about to seize
this store, believing it contained
smuggled goods.

Boschee's German Syrup can now be
purchased right at home; it is the most
successful preparation ever introduced
to our people. 1t works like a charm
in all cases of consumption, pneumonia,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe coughs,
Group and all other throat and lung
diseases. No person has ever used this
medicine without getting immediate
relief yet there are great many poor,
suffering, skeptical persons going about
our streets with suspicious cough, and
the voice of consumption coming from
their lungs, that will not try it. If
you die, it is your own fault, as you
can go to the druggists, Addoms &
Glover, and get sample bottle for 10
cents and try it; three doses will relieve
any case. Regular size only 70 cts. s2tf

Political.
Reviewing the Battle Ground.

Reviewing the battle IrOund.
New York, Nov. S.-The Tribune
thinks Roscoe Conkling has made great
gain by the canvass. With everybody
expecting his annihilation, he has re-
duced the adverse vote on the State
ticket, carried the Senate and saved
fighting ground for himself next year.
He is able to point to the popular vote
and declare that he is stronger in New
York than Hayes is in Ohio. His OPP
ponents hold that, except for the
Rochester Convention proceedings, the
Republicans would have swept the
State.
George William Curtis editorally
commetds on the nomination of Roose-
welt for collector Of customs, but criti-
cising the merits of the nomination for
surveyor, and Princes for naval officer,
upon the ground that they don't repre-
sent civil service leform, They are
politicians, usually honest and efficient
with the men they displace, but only
representing the wing of the. party
most favorable to the President,
One favors the use of patronage
for the benefit of the party; the other
holds that subordinate civil service
should be non-political. Thence no
middle course. The appointments
should all be made strictly in accor-
dance with one or the other of these
views. No principle or policy is estab-
lished by appointing collector to- suit
one, and selecting other officers to suit
the other.
New York, Nov, s.-The SUMS charges
to the effect that Senator Herman and
the Democracy identified their cluse
with that of the President by appealing
to the Hayes Republicans to vote their
ticket, their small majority and their
failure to obtain legislative control of
New York state.
The Tribune says everybody has un-
derrated the continued and tremendous
vitality of the Republican party. AL
most universal defeat at the North had
been expected on all hands since mid
summer. Every variety of discourage
ment attended the canvass. The party
was without leaders, for the old ones
were withdrawn by their Interpretation
of the civil service order, and the new
ones did not know how it was to be
done without money. 1t was discor-
dant, many of the more active menu
bers being distrustful of tho admins
tration, and the Jealous doctrinaires
being angry at the old leaders,
and neither party working lest
the other should profit by it. Then
the set of the tide was heavily in
favor of Democracy, and not a few had
reached the conclusion that the time
for the Republican party to die had
come. Yet it sweess Massachusetts,;
heavily reduces the adverse majority in
New York and saves the legislature
from Democratic grasp. 1t leaves the
Democrats with less than half their
anticipated majority in Pennsylvania.
It even holds New Jersey steady. 1t
makes handsome gains in Wisconsin.
Rightly considered this is a series of
victories Of defeats. The party
was strong enough to win. The men
who made up the Republican majority
throughout the North have not gone
over to the Democrats and have no in
tention Of doing SO. If they could
have been kept united, every Northern
State on Tuesday would have recorded
an administration victory. - - ~

THE U. P. ROADS.
The Gentleman from Colorado in the
...r.. Arena,

.H.r. Arena.
Washington, Nov. THE resolution
offered by Senator Chaffee relating to
the Union Pacific railway and its
branches, is a measure intended to
compel compliance with law, under
penalty Of immediate forfeiture of all
rights, privileges, franchises and lands
received from the United States, to-
gether with all property of every kind
belonging to the companies. 1t is
designed to test the question of the
powers of the Executive Department
to execute the existing laws regulating
the operation of these Pacific railroads,
and points to further legislation for the
removal of all legal impediments, if
any should be found. which prevent
the President from enforcing the acts
of Congress.

BLACK HILLS NUGGETS.

Wages in the principal mines at Lead
City have been reduced fifty cents per
day.
Since the Cheyenne stage has taken
the new road, Mountain City, station
on the old road, has been nearly aband-

Quite an excitement was occasioned
by the discovery Of a large body of rich
quartz in lode on Sawpit gulch, re-
Gently. t-..
The town of Pennington is rapidly
improving in appearance. Several
large two-story buildings have been
erected recently.
A lot on Mill street, Lead City, was
sold few days since for six hundred
dollars. The purchaser Intends to
erect large livery stable.
Mrs. Xeripha d. Rollins has CON-
menced suit against George Moser for
slander, fixing her damages at $40, 900.
The case will likely be fought very
bitterly. ..
Messrs. Girdler s. Orr were ON We'd
nesday last offered thirteen Thousand
dollars for one fourth interest in the
Eldorado mine, situated in Poorman
gulch. The offer was made by cap
italist from Cleveland, Ohio, and re-
fused.
James Porter, a driver in the employ
of the Bismarck stage company, while
carelessly handling rifle a few days ago
discharged the piece, sending the ball
through his body, causing wound
resulting in death.
Mrs. Scott has removed to Jenny's
Stockade. Mr.. Jas. Mathewson, the
former owner of the hotel and ranch at
that place, has sold the entire outfit to
the lady, who will now reft and re-
model the place, and put it in first

forget Mrs. Scott, proprietress of the
Scott House, Deer Lodge, than which
no Letter hotel was ever in existence in
that country. Deadwood Pioneer.

THE usual rigid discipline that pro-
hibits burial service in the Episcopal
Church over the body of a suicide part
ly relaxed in New York at the funeral
of the late Mrs. Leroy, who drowned
herself in the Central Park, in consid-
Grafton of the probable fact that she
was deranged when she committed the
act. The musical part of the service
was, however, omitted, and there were
no flowers and no regular pall-bearers,
the ceremony being of the plainest pos
sible character.

ANOTHER bonanza.

Big Strike in the ophir Mines.
San Francisco, Nov. s.-A spurt in
Ophir stock is attributed partly to the
manipulation Of short interest by the
bulls and to reports of a rich strike in
the mines. A Virginia press dispatch
this evening says the east drift on
1900 foot level has run into ore assaying
from S14 to s24 per ton, some choice
samples going to $50. The drift has
been bulkheaded, pending arrange
ments for advantageous working. A
number Of experts are on the ground,
but no one has as yet been admitted to
the mine. There is much excitement
in Virginia over the strike. Its not
considered absolute proof of the pres
enee of valuable ore body, but in con-
nection with other indications its dis
covery is deemed probable.

LAST Saturday night a young girl
was found on the streets in Chicago
manifesting every symptom of hydro
phobia. She was barking, frothing at
the mouth and running from side to
side, as if unconscious Of her actions.
She was taken to a hospital, treated for
hydrophobia, but as she drank water
freely Sunday night it was found that
the terrible disease she was supposed to
have was really only fit of hysteria.

An Unanimous Vote.

1t is rarely that any legislative act is re-
pealed by an unanimous vote, but it hap
pened in the Staunton Council Tuesday
night. It appears that that body recently
adopted an ordinance making it Unable
offense for wagons to stand around on the
paved streets, being aided and melted
thereto by q petition numerously signed,
in which Postmaster YosJ characterized
the said standing in front Of the Post Office
as "a public obstruction" When the coun-
try people heard OF this they became indig-
nant. AT Weyer's Cave Station the names
Of the councilmen who voted for it were
posted UP and the people warned not to
patronize their stores. At camp meeting
Sunday a petition for its repeal was signed
by every countryman it was handed to, and
Fifteen hundred names'' says our inform
ant might have been obtained. 1t is needs
less to say that motion offered by Coun-
Gilman, R. f. Larew, Tuesday night to
repeal the ordinance, was unanimously
adopted and our country friends can now
drive in in peace and comfort without the
fear Of the law.

Pianos Manufactured in Staunton,

Prof. 2. W. Walter has just finish ed an
upright. OR Boudoir piano, which is the
work Of his own hands, except the iron
frame, and the Action. The iron frame
was cast at the Staunton Foundry, and
the Action is from an Action Factory at
New York, which supplies ninety nine out
of one hundred of the piano manufactures
in the country. The whole piano is fine
piece Of workmanship, and the musicians
who saw it pronounce the tone fine and even
and the touch good. The wood is mostly
from our Virginia soil, well seasoned, and
nut up in such manner that there will be
no doubt about the durability Of the
crane" This we saw in two unfinished
s'cases,'' which Prof. W. has at his house.
and which will be finished in short time.
The strings are of the most celebrated
Nurenburg factory, which are now mostly
used in this country, as they stand our eli
mate best. 1t is the opinion Of those who
ought to know, that the instrument will
stand the severest test.
Upright pianos have of late become the
fashionable instruments in Europe and our
larger cities, but their high price has pre-
vented their general introduction. The
leading factories hold them at prices from
$500, upwards, and when you consider the
princely fortunes most Of them have made,
and the heavy expense of rent and labor in
the large cities, it is no wonder that Prof.
Walter offers this piano at the small price
of $780, We are glad to chronicle this new
branch of mechanical skill in Staunton
and hope our citizens will bear in mind
that they can get an article at home, which
is as handsome piece of furniture, as
good an instrument and much cheaper
than those for which they send their mo-
ney to Northern cities.
