WAR NOTES.

The peace conditions which were con-
eluded between Russia and Turkey on the
18th, are stated, on excellent authority, to
include the following: Servia to be indie
pendent, without compensation; Montenegro
to receive Antivari, Nicsics and Spur and
portion of the territory bordering on Lake
Scutari; Russia to hold Batoum, Kars and
Erzeroum until a war indemnity of twenty
mill on pounds is paid; the Dardanelles to
be opened to Russia men-of-war; Bulgarian
autonomy to be conceded rather on the
principle of Labonon than Oh the plan of
the Constantinople conference, and Turkey
to nominate Christian governor for long
term of years, subject to ratification by the
powers. Bulgaria is not understood to in.
clude Thrace, but only to extend to the line
of the Balkans. Part of the Russians are
then to embark at Constantinople for their
return home, and the final treaty of peace
to be signed at Constantinople by the Grand
Duke Nicholas. This arrangement will sat
isfy Russian military honor without involv-
ing the occupation of Constantinople.

What Allied Her

Yesterday afternoon shortly after z
o'clock, woman was seen leaving a
beer saloon on the south side of Second
street, near King, and turning the corner
seated herself on the steps of the bakery,
at the southwest corner of Second and
King streets. She had not been seated
but a few minutes before she fell to the
pavement. A number of persons wit
messed the fall, among them being lady
who resides on King below Second, who
thought that it would be unjust to ALLOW
the woman to remain where she had
fallen, and so with the assistance of some
of the bystanders, she was carried to the
ladies house, who laid her upon the floor
with pillow under her head. When
she was carried in the house she inform
ed the lady that she had been drugged
and robbed of S5 and shawl. She soon
became unconscious and remained so for
a length of time. When she began to
come to, she commenced swelling and
also complaining of great pairs. She
became so violent that physician was
sent for, but gave as his opinion that the
woman had only been drinking. Upon
inquiry at the saloon above mentioned it
was ascertained that she had only drank
one beer, and that one in company with
a woman who came in with her. As to
to the shawl and money, no trace could
be found of it. The woman was very
well dressed, and did not have the ap-
pearance of being woman who was ad-
dicted to drinking. Her name is with
held on account of her connections in
this city. Was she drugged or not?

DR.. o. Phelps Brown, the well-known
manufacturer of patent medicines, is
dead. His laboratory in Jersey City was
one of the largest in the country, and he
had branches in London, Berlin, Vienna
and elsewhere. At an early age he was
apprenticed to Alfred Z. Bur, of the
Hartford Times, and he worked at the
case. Hoping to make fortune he aban-
doned the trade of compositor, and went
to Utica. There he made the acquain-
tance of DR.. Mitchell, and Joined him in
manufacture of herbal remedies. He
prospered in this business. About twenty
five years ago he started in jersey City,
and soon amassed large fortune. He
was the author OF the "Complete Herb
alist." He manufactured number OF
different medicines. Three months ago
he went to the White Sulphur Springs
in Virginia, for his health. He returned
to 'Breezemore,' his country residence, in
Saybrook, Conn.,, last week. He was
fifty-five years of age. DR.. Brown was

A Dismi ssed Suitor's Suicide
ON HIS KNEES AT A GIRLS FEET An

ON HIS KNEES AT GIRLS FEET AND
SHOOTING HIMSELF.
Frank Lane a young mechanic ofBridge-
port shot himself in the head on Sunday
evening, after his dismissal by his sweet
heart, Kittie Martin. The latter is an at
tractive girl of about 20 years OF age, who
works in paper bag factory.
On Sunday evening Lane called on her
at the house of j. Dunning, where she
boards. Mr.. Dunning, who was in the
parlor with them until within ten min
ites of the tragedy noticed that they were
teasing and bantering each other a great
deal.
After he retired the quarrel became
more spirited, and Lane slapped Miss
M drti a in the face. She says that she
does not brlieve he did it in bad temper,
but at any rate the slap angered her into
telling that if he struck her again it would
be- after they were married. Then she
told him that she wanted nothing more
to do with him and to emphasize herwords
she took off her engagement ling and
threw it In his face.
Her words and manner reused Lane to
sudden frenzy. When she tossed him
the ring he stepped to the door and lock-
ed 1t, then he pulled out his pistol, and,
dropping on his knees at the girls feet,
pointed the weapon to his head and fir
ed.
The shock so terrified her that some
minutes elapsed before she could rise
from the sofa or utter a sound. Then her
wild shrieks quickly brought the family
to the room and policeman from the
street. Lane was alive but unconscious.
His death is momentarlly expected.
