Major Besseri represents his coun
trv as snxious TO avail herself OF a
proper armament in time of peace, be
iieying it necessary to be prepared for
suitable defense. Her army at pres
ent is about 100000, with great
decentralization among her soldiers and
a disordered condition of the people
generally. The armyis being reduced
so as to lessen the expenses Of the
government. In the interview re-
ferred to, Major Besserl said that the
financial condition of Turkey, consid-
ering the fact that the richest portion
of the territory had been taken from
her, was far from gratifying, but the
government we're hopeful, and deter
mined as far as possible to be at peace
with all nations.

me Great RaiIMay Sale.

The capital stock ofthe Nashville
Chattanooga and st. Louis railway Co.,
which extends from Chattanooga to
Hickman, KY, is less than $4,000, 900.
That said to have been purchased by
the Louisville and Nashville road
on Saturday, a week ago, is $3.50
600 or more than a majority of the
whole. One-third of the purchase
money was to have been paid at the
time of the transfer and the remainder
was sold on time. In regard to the
colossal transaction the New York
Herald of Wednesday last says
Various rumors were afiOat on the
street to-day concerning the results Of
the conference of Mr.. Bryson (acting
for the stockholders of the Nashville
and Chattanooga with President
Stamford and Vice President New
comb, Of the Louisville and Nashville.
The statement that any Chattanooga
stock was sold at the conference is
authoritatiyely denied. There was no
sale, although 50 and upward is said to
have been offered for all the stock
held by those whom Mr.. Bryson rep
resents. The impression that Presi-
dent Cole. of the Chattanooga road,
sold out with the others is incorrect,
as that gentleman telegraphed his
friends to-day that he stands and shall
continue to stand with his stockhold-
ers whatever be the result to himself.
Messrs. Standiford and Newcomb have
~telegraphed him, requesting that he
will remain in the presidency of the
company and pledging themselves to
honestly and faithfully manage both
roads in the interests of the respective
shareholders. Colonel Bryson was
authorized to telegraph to the same
effect. The Louisville and Nashville
people state that the road they arc
attempting to control is valuable and
that they intend to develop its fullest
powers. With combination, not COM
petition" as the motto, they claim
both roads will be enormously en-
HANGED in value. Colonel Cole has
been asked to come on to New York.
and he has expressed his intention Of
doing so as soon as possible to confer

Arms for Turkey.

PROVIDENCE, X. L., January lS.-
The contract entered into between
the Imperial Ottoman government
and the Providence Tool company 4
few years since, for furnishing Tur-
key with 600, 1000 American rifles, has
now been fulfilled. The Providence
company, however, is expected
to be employed for some time to
come in filling orders for arms for the
Turkish government. As many as
twenty-seven officers of the Turkish
army have been stationed at PrOyi
dence whose dutyit has been to inspect
the rifles as fast as they were turned
out at the manufactory. Seven years
ago, when Turkey gave her first order
for American arms. there were only
three Of her representatives here.
This number was increased from time
to time, until the force of inspectors
reached twenty-seven. In an inter

Another Parson who Kisses the Pretty
Cook in a Fa:herIy Way.
New York Tribune 2lst.

NEW lOIk lIlDuue ALelsl
Another Jew jersey minister is in
trouble, and this time it is the pastor
of one of the largest and wealthiest
congregations in Hoboken. The Rev.
Gustav Hafermann was appointed to
the ~pastorate of the German Lutheran
church ia that place four years ago at
a salary of $1,000 a year. The church
stands at Hudson and Eighth streets,
and adjoining is the parsonage, a hand
some red brick aud brown stone house.
A few months ago a young woman
named Ida Stigmann, a good looking
brunette, age eighteen, who was then
living with her parents in Cottage
row, Hoboken, was engaged as a cook
in the family. The Rev. Mr.. Hafer-
mann, it is said, seemed much pleased
with the new servant. A few weeks
ago, however, the cook told her mother
that the pastor often kissed her. She
told her that if anything Of the kind
happened again to 90 to the pastors
wife and tell her of it. The cook did
as directed, and the next day she says
the pastor kissed her again: So she
ran into Mrs. Haiermann's sitting
room and told her what had taken
place. The pastors wife was furious,
and, going into her husbands study,
was heard to express her mind freely.
The cook then went home to her pa
rents, with whom she remained until
a few days ago, when she left the
town.
The matter coming to the ears of
the church trustees, they called a
meeting, which was held in the
basement of the church on Monday
night. No outsiders were admitted.
Dir. Hafermann had been cited to APP
pear, but he only sent a long letter ac-
knowledging that he had kissed the
cook upon several occasions; be de-
clared that he did it out Of pure
Christian motives. He regarded her
as a daughter.
The trustees decided that as the
pastor had two daughters already, and
as the cook had a father also, the ex-
cu9e was hardly sufficient. They ap-
pointed a committee Of three to ask
the pastor to resign. Mr.. HafermanI
received the committee at his house
and said that if the committee wished
him to 90 away he would do so.
Shortly after these disclosures were
made, the father Of the young woman
went to the pastors house and de
manded an explanation. He received
one similar to that furnished TO tn,
trustees, and he was not at all salts
fed with it. G. Muller, a wealth,
sugar refner ofthis city, who is chair
mar Of the board of trustees, was on
of the committee that waited upo,
the pastor, and requested him to re
sign. The secretary Of the boar
stated last evening that the trustee
were satisfied with the explanation tn
pastor had made, but that they b.
lieved him to be very eccentric, an
thought it would be best for him to g
away,
