Murder OF Six Girls In Russia.

An Odessa letter to the London Doiiy
Neys says: A few days ago seven girls,
employed at sugar factory in Balta,
left that town in the evening to return
to their native village at some distance.
The girls, belated on the way, resolved
to pass the night in The fields and pro-
coed at daybreak. They had located
themselves near haystack in field adj.
joining the highway, and, having some
slight fears of robbery, placed their
united weeks earnings in the hands of
one of their number for greater safety.
The unfortunate girls were all fast
asleep, when they were tracked by q
number of young men. The girl who
had secreted the money in her dress had
taken the precaution to cover herself
with hay. The miscreants, finding no
money on the persons of the other six
girls, murdered them in cold blood.
They then fired the stack, and in the
conflagration and smoke the surviving
and terrified girl effected her escape and
reached the village in safety. An alarm
was given, and the murderous band
were all arrested. The survivor had
recognized the murderers, who were all
employed in the same factory as their
victims.
