CARVING TURKEY,

The Representatives of the leading Eu-
ropean States bled IN Berlin yester-
day, to dismember Turkey-ss from present
appearance not much of the old Ottoman
Empire will be left to the Sultan. One OF
the first questions that will be disposed Of
by the Berlin Congress will be that OF the
right OF Greece to participate in the de-
liberatons of the body. English, French,
and pelhaps German influence, will prob
ably be used in favor of such admission, for
Greece has very positive interest In the
disposition of some Of the important issues
that will be decided by the conference, and
the value 10 England of the maintenance OF
t,reciau claims in the event CT partition OF
Turkish territory must be very great
Greece has certain natural and historical
right to that part of her natural territory
which is row held by Turkey, and she can
make out nearly as good case in claiming
kipship with the population of those regions
as Russia can in insisting upon Ter relation
shin to the Slave. If she could get back all
her ancient territory, together with the
island of Crete, it will be blessed thing
for the Hellenic peoples who have suffered
from Turkish tyranny,

by DR.. J. Whitfield Ward, which should be

LANCASTER PIKE. - tsa7 Fn
Yesterday morning about II O'Clock
fatal and sad accident occurred on James
Grifin's farm, near Mt. Pleasant, on the
Lancaster pike abont six miles from this
city. George Pyle the victim, was superin-
tending the cutting Of some hickory timber
in a piece of woods on Mr.. Griffin's farm
Previous to the occurrence Pyle was seated
on the ground with bis back to o tree, d.
rectly opposite q large tree which had been
very nearly sawed off. Henry Morris col
ored laborer, placed a wedge IN the part
sawed, to throw 1t In direction, so that no
one would be harmed, Pyle directed him to
place it In different place, which he did.
Morris commenced hammering on the
wedge, Mr.. Griffin warned Pyle to get out
of the way, which he paid no regarl to,
saying, II know which wav It will fall, I
cut a good many Of them" The tree sud-
denly gave way-Pyle made an effort to
move, when It fell on him lengthwise, kill
ing him instantly. His companions at once
went to work and extricated him, and we're
surprised to find but few bruises on him.
Coroner Rose was notified, and held an In
quest last evening about six O'Clock. A
verdict was rendered in accordance with the
facts.

THE BEARS BANNER
Now Waves Triumphant Over
Schipka Pass.
The Russian Hosts Defeat the Flower OF
the Turkish Army and Are Now
Beyond the Balkans

Bucharest, Jan. 1.-The capture o.
Schipka Pass is confirmed. A heavy
Russian force on January 30th, moved
along Trojan's Pass and crossed the
mountains, after suffering incredibly
from the severity of the cold. This
force on Tuesday struck the rear of the
Turkish position at Schipka, while an
attack was commenced by Radetzky
four hours later, on the same day. The
fighting is reported as not severe. con.
sidering the numbers engaged. The
Turks being surrounded, became de.
moraliZed and surrendered after short
but bitter resistance.
The losses of the Russians are report
ed as 800 killed and 1000 wounded.
The heaviest fighting was on Radetzky's
right, in dislodging the Turks from the
heights overlooking the Russian posi-
tion. The rear of the Turks was at
tackled by Mirskov. Not being forti-
fed, and in comparatively open ground,
the Turks experienced the heaviest loss
in killed and wounded. The capture of
Schipka imperils Suleirnan's position at
the headwaters of the Isker at Samova,
and will at once force him back on
Adrianople.
The Russians are short of supplies,
and not able to advance. A force OF
Cossacks has been sent south to harass
Suleiman's line of communication and
secure supplies from the country.
Pera, Jan. 1.-THE loss of Schipka
is regarded in Constantinople as worse
than the surrender of Osman Pasha.
The Turkish force in the pass consist,
ed of 16, 900, nearly all veterans, and
the most valuable troops in the service.
They fought desperately, but were out,
numbered five to one.
There is great danger that the Turk
ish army will either be dispersed or
made to surrender, as the Russians are
near Adrianople, and can cut off their
retreat. The only hope of their safety
is in the Russians inability to push
southwark from the Balkans, owing tc
lack of supplies. An enormous nun
Der of fugitives are leaving the country
about Tartar Bajardjik, whose suffer,
ings, owing to the severity Of the
weather, will be unparalleled.
The loss of Schipka insures the domi-
nance of the peace party, and makes
peace more certain from the Turkish
side, unless the Russians, stimulated
by their late success, may demand i'm
possible terms.

Eminently Correct.

The Cheyenne LEADER says Gen.
Evans strongly recommends the Union
Pacific people to build their contem-
plated Black Hills railroad from Sidney
and the LEADER urges as the proper
thing for Cheyenne to do, to start a
narrow-guage road toward Bozeman at
once. Cheyenne has been more fortu-
nate than most western cities, having
had her railroads built without the ex.
penditure of any of her own money. II
she now shows q reasonable public spirit
and determines to help herself, her fu,
ture will be all the better for it. If,
however, she relies on the Union Pacific
or other corporations to continue
building railroads for her gratis, she
will be disappointed in ever becoming
great commercial city. [Denver Times.
