A PRIEST ASSAULTED.


PROVIDENCE, October Is Esther Cahill do
nestle formerly in The employ of Father Rogers
Of St. Mays Catholic Parish, called at the house
OF the priest, last night, and asked an interview
and after few words. seized q lamp from the
centre table, and hurled it with great violence ct
Father Rogers head. The lamp inflicted severe
scalp wound and the burning oil set the priests
clothes on fire, and also communicated to the fur
nture OF the room. Father Rogers Immediately
rushed to an adjoining room, raised the scuttle
aud jumped into ci,tern containing eight feet OF
water, where he held on to the edge until help
came. The fire in the room was observed by the
neighbors, who came to extingush the flames, aud
rescued the priest.
Tue woman escaped. but early this morning
gave herself up to the police at East Providence,
saving she had killed the priest in Bristol, and
burned his house. She says she suffered from
pains in the head aud breast. inflicted a penalty
by Father Rogers, and she went to Bristol and
demanded be should stop it. As he refused she
killed him. The woman is doubtless insane. She
is said to be sister of the woman who recently
killed two children In New York. The event has
created great excitement in Bristol. Father Rog.

EASTERN AFFAIRS,
REPORTED TURKISH EFFORTS
AGAINST RUSSIA.
Russia Making Extensive Preparations
for War.

LONDON, October %. A Constsntinople des-
patch says ART Bey, president Of the Red Cres-
cent committee, has gone to coca, ostensiby to
,uperintend the execution of sanitary arrange
ments, adopted at the approach Of the Courban-
boiram festival.
HIS real motive, however, IS to confer with the
pilgrims from luda, Afghauistan and Central
Asia, who will reach Mecca in large numbers next
month, to iniiuetce them ftvorably towards the
hriiish policy, and adversely wards that Of Rus
sia.
The Standards despatch from Vienna is to the
effect that Russis's military preparations are SO
vast that one doubt that sh is bent on fur
thef conquest The only question appears to be
whether she will wait until spring, or commence
war before that time. The excuse will probably
be the outbreaks among the Bulgarisns, gotten
up by Russian agents.
A camp of 100000 men is forming at Kischenef
to replace the troops who crossed the Balkans
southwark. Russia refuses to evacuate Dabrud-
scha or Roumania. until Roumania has concluded
an offensive or defensive alliance.
Russian agents openly claim that Moldavia, as
far at Sevett, must become Russian.
The Times says Russia ventures to stand in the
way OF the execution of the Berlin treaty because
she trusts to the ioroeafan of others. A word
spoken in earnest by England or Austria, would
bring her to her senses in moment. 1t 10 pre-
posterous to assert that our hands can be died by
the Afghan difficulty. We must force ourselves
upon Afghanls.an to the exclusion Of others who
have no right there. Our cause is clear. When
we shall enter upon It is snother question. 1t is
certain, however, that = decisive campaign will
not commence before spring.

quence of the gravity of the situation between
