BOLD ATTACK.
BOSTON, Mass Sept. 8.
The annual illumination at Nantasket
Beach Monday night drew together about
twenty thousand people, The display and
festivities continued until late hour The
facilities for transporting so large a crowd
was altogether inadequate, and it was mid
night before many OF the spectators could
leave the beach, A party of ten ladies and
gentlemen from East Weymouth char
tered the large stage Minnie of that
place and left the Hotel Nantasket at about
one O'Clock. They had proceeded as far as
the foot of the Old Colony House hill, where
there isa thickly- wooded and very lonesome
spot, and where the road runs for mile
and half through dense forest. There
they came upon gang of twenty-five or
thirty desperate characters some of whom
were in an express wagon and others on
foot. As the stage drove up these men made
a rush for it. Two of them seized the horses
by the heads, while the others surrounded
the stage, cursing and threatening to shoot
the driver when he attempted TO whip up
his horses.
Edward Hawley, who was standing on the
steps In the rear, was seized by two of the
ruffians, who threw him down upon dle
ground and beat him severely, tearing off
most of his clothing and kicking him bru-
tally about the head and body. His nose
was broken and he was otherwise terribly
injured. During the scutf1e the men secured
his watch and chain and pocket-bOok, con-
tanning a large sum.
In the meantime the rest Of the gang had
set upon other gentlemen in the stage, who,
boing altogether unaTmed, could make no
resistance James Burke, Thomas McFawn
and David Queen were brutally beaten, and
suffered serious injuries. One of them was
robbed of valuable pin and three lost their
watches and other jewelry, and what money
they had The ladies were very roughly
handled, and robbed of their jewelfy,
watches and purses. The robbers only
laughed at their pleas and swore louder.
The men at the heads of the horses pres
emily relaxed their yigilence and their grip
on the brides and the driver of the stage,
taking instant advantage of this, whipped
up his horses and ratified off down the road
at a full gallop. The robbers jumped into
their express wagon and drove swiftly after
the flying stage for over a mile, but on
nearing the town of bingham they stopped
the pursuit Many of the ladies were seri-
ously Frustrated by fright

The Armenian Administrations on Foot
 to Appease the PeopIe-The Porte MOv-
 ing Quietly but FOrctbly.
 CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. 25.-The serious character of the disturbances in the Armenian provinces has occasioned so much alarm that the Porte has again promised the introduc- of the empire and Monseigneur Nersse, the Armenian patriarch, has at the invitation of the government issued pastoral letter rec ommending the populations under his spirit ual guidance to remain quiet, and promising at an early day the amelioration of their con- dition. The removal by the Porte of Preshid Pacha, the Kurdish governor of Marasch, is considered by the leading Armenian residents here step in the right direction, as he would undoubtedly, had he remained in office, by his disgraceful conduct of affairs have brought about an uprising among the noun taineers of Zeitown, commonly called the Montenegrins of Asia on account of their warlike procivities, and who some fifteen years ago routed the Turco -Circassian army
 twelve thousand strong, sent against them by the Turkish government. Instructions have been sent to the governors of the five principal Armenian provinces to continue making arrests and at the same time to avoid the appearance of pressure especially as re- gards the inhabitants of the towns, in order not to open the eyes of Europe to the im- portance of the insurrectionary movement and thus court foreign intervention. Not withstanding these precautionary measures guerilla bands have already made their ap- pearanee in the mountainous district called Dersio in Upper Armenia, which on account of it's important strategical position has late- ly been raised to the rank of villa. At one time it was question of sending Marshal Dervisch Pasha to the disturbed provinces, but the idea was abandoned, the Turkish government being afraid lest the sanguinary disposition of the marshal might dictate acts which would call for protests from Ar menian merchants and commission agents who are natives of Erzeroum and Van and who are established in business in Constanti- nople. These it is said are suspected of supplying arms and uniforms to the revolu tionary committee for the use of the insur- gents. The persons arrested here have not been imprisoned in the capitol, but have been sent of secretly to the provinces at night in charge of an escort.

The Winter Carnival at Montreal.
 MONTREAL, Jan. 25.-This was the third day of the winter carnival and the interest in
 the festivities continues unabated. The first
 event of the day was acivic banquet given to
 the mayors of cities and other distinguished
 strangers at the Windsor Hotel. The Mayor
 of Montreal presided, and most of the city
 officials as well as the citizens committee were present. Among the visitors from the
 United States present were General Eckert. General M. Wellss, Judge Baker, Hon. B. Smalley and H. Fairbanks of Vermont, and Judge Brady of New York. All the Ameri-. can speakers praised the carnival, saying that it had exceeded their expectations and ex- pressing the hope that it would be repeated next year. The principal event of the day was the racing on the frozen surface of the St. Lawrence this afternoon, which was wit messed by fifteen thousand people. There were nine races on the programme and over two hundred horses were entered. The purses amounted to over $3, 900, and there were also some handsome cups among the prizes. The feature of the curling games to day was the defeat by the Ogdensburg, N. Y., club of the crack Granite club of Toronto by three points. This evening the curlers dined as guests of the Caledonian club. In the even ing there was a grand masquerade skating carnival at the Victoria skating rink. Many of the costumes, which represented almost every period of American and European his tory, were very elegant, and the brilliantly lighted rink was crowded with spectators Several trains of cars made trips over the ice railway to-day, all well filled with passengers The ice palace was again illuminated to night and attracted thousands of visitors.

The Fate of Two Cattle SwIndlers.
 ABINGDON, Jan. 25.-Information from Russell county to day asserts that two men reported to have been lynched in that county were removed beyond it's limits some days ago by the authorities. The offence of the supposed victims was cattle swindling. Fear ing that the people would remove the two prisoners from the Russell county jail the sheriff of the county quickly slipped the men out one night and carried them into another county. A mob had been raised to lynch the swindlers that night. Hearing that the off, cers had visited the jail the would-be lynch CTS took it for granted that they belonged to another party, but on the same mission, and returned home satisfied that the work was well done.
 BRISTOL, Tenn, Jan. 25.-It is asserted here that the two Russell county cattle men were certainly taken out of jail by 8 mob on Thursday night and lynch ed Men from that county say that they saw the mob when they re- moved the prisoners from jail, who tied thera and carried them of to the mountains either to make them give up the SIS. 900 out of which they had swindled the graziers of Russell or to lynch them.

Y., against whom suit has begun in the Superior court for $34, ,O0O. Charles A. Mum, agent for Dows & Go. makes affidavit that early in 1879 Dows E Go. made an arrangement with Wheeler by which tha latter was to act as their Syracuse agent and in October of the same year Wheeler began systematic course of swindling. He ordered large deals from fic- titious parties, taking from the deposits of genuine customers enough to pay something for the false. He kept his customers in ig- norance of his distractions by forged state ments and pocketed the entire deposits. During November and December, 1879, he got $1, 150 from G. 0. Garnett to invest in pork and lard. He put it in his pocket and it cost Dows $ Go. $1. .233 to settle with Gar nett. Dows & Go. discovered the swindle in the beginning of the year 1880 and Wheeler confessed, begged they would not disgrace him by public prosecution and promised to refund his peculations up to date, amounting to BPS, 634.

Protection Wanted for Insura

Protection Wanted for Insurance.
 BOSTON, Jan. 25-In summing up the sta tistics of the mutual marine and joint stock fire and marine insurance companies of this city, the Ird0eler says: ''Of the 15 companies only five show small increase of surplus over last year, and ten decrease. The total increase in capital and net surplus of Boston companies in the past year is $S55, 152 and in the past five years $2,140,- 167. In that time only two companies have increased their capital, and seven com panies have retired from the field al- together. A consideration of these facts leads to the conclusion that rates of premium have been reduced to point where they af- ford only small margin of profit, and that unless our companies are afforded some re- lief from burdens of taxation and competi- tion by better protected (and in some cases less reliable) foreign companies they will be still further reduced, both in numbers and wealth. n
