A correspondent OF the Neue Z.richer lei
tang, writing from Zigdidi, 10 the Government
OF the Caucasus. on the fourth Of April, de-
scribes a shocking massacre Of Jews which
occurred in the village of Satschcheri, in that
neighborhood. AT the beginning OF the month
the body of child was found In wood, and
seven Jews OF the place were accused by the
Christian villagers Of having killed and Sc
GREETED 1t for their Easter sacrifice. They were
arrested and taken before the district judge,
but Immediately dismissed, as 1t was testified
by medical witness that the child had died
from natural causes, and that the wounds
found on the body were the work Of wild ami
mails Rejoced at the issue OF their trial, the
Israelites OF the village assembled at the
house OF one Of their number to celebrate the
event by a dinner; but in the midst of their
feasting they were surprised by Q party 81
Christian villagers, who burst into the house,
axe in hand, killed six OF the inmates on the
SPOT, and grievously wounded many more.
The narrator OF the incident alleges that the
priest OF the Greek Church OF Satschcheri
was the instigator OF this act Of ferocious
fanaticism.

There was another rush Of peddlers and other

BIG FEE
It is said that two OF the lawyers who con-
ducted the suit against the city involving the
seizure OF the city's Waterworks stock. earned
the snug little fee Of 25 per cent on the amount
realized. 1t appears that the lawyers in aues-
ton, some three months ago. offered their SER
vices to number Of holders of judgments
against the city, asserting that they had dfscov-
cred some property OF the corporation that
could be levied upon. and that they would un-
dertake to conduct the case on contingent
fee Of Is per cent on the amount they might
collect The proposition was pooh-poohed at
first, and then the fee was deemed too large. but
finally, considering that the collection OF the
judgments was doubtful for many years to
come, probably. several OF the creditors pooled
their claims, to the amount Of about $4,000
and put the matter In the bands Of the lawyers
with the result which is already known.
