LONDON, Aug. IA correspondent
at Sistova telegraphs that Generals
Schakoakoy and Krudener have re-
taken the positions held by them pre-
vious to the disastrous battle Of
Plevna. Schakoskoy is now quarter
ed at Porodin, and Krudener is lying
at Tirsteuck, and are daily receiving
heavy reinfOrcements. The Russians
are straining every nerve to retrieve
their late disaster, and to deliver q
crushing blow before the Turks have
time to reap all the advantages which
might accrue from their chance sue
cess. Four more Russian corps,
which had been lying in Roumania,
are hurrying to the scene of opera
tions in Bulgaria, and
A sANGUINARf BATTLE
may be looked for in few days.
A correspondent at Kansanlik tel
egraphs that the Russians intend to
strike the Turks about Plevna and
Lovia. Gen. Skobeloff will have the
command, and it has been determined
that before pushing any further south
q vigorous effort will be made to
crush the Turkish forces north of the
Balkans.
From Gabrova correspondent re-
ports that the whole country about
Eski-Saghra is being devasted, and
the villages and country residences
burned by flying bands Of Bulgarians
and Circassians. The Circassians be-
gan the mischief by burning the Bull
garian villages south of the Balkans.
The long suppressed hatred be-
tween the races eeem likely to lead to
civil war between the Turks and Bull
garians. The latter seem determined
to make reprisals for the cuelties of
the Turks last year.
Gen. Gourka has destroyed the rail-
way between Jamboli and Philipop-
oils. The whole country between
Zanlik and Adrianople will soon be
destroyed, owing to the strife be-
tween the Turks and Bulgarians, un-
less the Russians press rapidly for
ward. The Bulgarians could not be
induced to rise before the Russian
defeat at Plevna, but the fear of q
Turkish massacre has now driven q
large number to take the field, think
ing it better to die like men with
arms in their hands than to be killed
in cold blood by the Bashi-Bazouks.

CHICAGO AVENUE CHURCH.
IT Is FREE FROM DEBT.
To the Editor Of T'le Tribune.
CHICAGO, Oct. l2.-An article published In the
Chicago alliance and recently copied by other
Gu icago papers purporting to be a correct list
Of the value OF Church property IN Chicago,
aud giving the debt of each church, places the
debt of Chicago Avenue (Moody's) Church at
S2!5 ZOO.
A. many Of our friends may not know the
faccls in relation to our church, We wish to make
the following statement:
Al. the time our building was completed VIC
were: in debt to the extent $4,000, including
S15.tD0 for borrowed money, to secure which
the church property had been mortgagcd NOM
inall1r for ss, 600, but VIC only drew $4,000, as
that was sufficient to meet the demands ut the
time.
1t ,ras Mr.. Moody's wish that the church
should not be formally opened until out Of debt,
and all effort Was made to raise the amount
needed.
Aftt several attempts sufficient amount
was ia ised by including our old church lot ut
low calsh value.
The mortgage. however, was given for five
years, and as the security was unquestionaoly
good, the Company holding it could not be ex-
pccted to give us Il release until it expired Inc
matter was laid before L friend OF the church,
VINO agreed to take what available assets VIC
then 1had OH hand, and, making up the balance
is his own subscription, assume the loan and
relieve us from auy further responsibility III that
direction.
This offer was gladly accepted, as he Was and
is amply responsible, and the church was dedi-
Gated virtually free from debt. To our many
| friends who have SO kindly assisted us in this
eutcrpr isc VIC would say that the present Off
| GERS propose to keep the church ont Of debt,
| and il we cannot branch out and do what we
| would like to, we will do what We can with the
r0ntrn1 ami, bn IT, I0lfrh lit lie,
We will 4pay rs we go.'' Jos. A. WEEKs,

Best Divorce Time on Record.

A District Judge, not thousand
miles from Salt Lake City, on certain
Saturday joined two persons of respecta-
bility together in the bonds of matrimo-
ny. The Judge did his best to fasten
them, and the parties were plant as low
ing natures could be. On Sunday morn
ing, however, the married gentleman
sought the Judge, laid complaint
about the newly made bride, and averred
with all earnestness and sincerity that
they could never live together as man
and wife, and must therefore be sepa-
rated forthwith, as the only good thing
that could be done for both. His honor
expostulated, and used his greatest pow
ers and influence to dissuade the parties
from separating. Both the gentleman
and lady were determined on separating
at once the conjugal knot. On Monday
morning, in chambers, the petition or
complaint for divorce was filed; in ten
minutes the summons was served; in half
an hour further the answer was filed,
and the parties appeared in Court, OF
chambers, ready for trial. The case was
heard forthwith, and a divorce decreed
strictly in accordance with law in every
particular. Married by law on Satur-
day, separated by law on Monday.-Sah
