TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
A Lonely Miser of Wheeling Horribly
Maltreated for Money.

n AOhelJ mIseF OF WnoellnS Horribly
Maltreated for Money.
WHEELING, VIVA, Dec. pa second
horrible outrage and robbery bv highway
men in the past three days has reused the
people of Wheeling to a terrible pitch.
On Sunday SIX masked men entered the
home of Mrs. WOrkenOur, in East End,
and after horribly beating the family
stole about $4,000 in gold. Last night
four men, evidently of the same
gang, broke into the house of Elijah Mar
ting, bachelor miser of this county, and
finding only 1882 on his person, put him
to the most horrible torture to force him
to reveal the hiding place of his gold. He
was tied to the bedpOst, stripped, and a
red-hot poker applied to his back and
thighs In no less than twenty places. Hot
oil was also poured down his back, and
his sutferings were terrible in the ex-
treme. He evidently had no money con-
cealed or this would have brought it.
DEALT A PARTING BLOW.
In their anger at their failure the bur-
glars struck their victim heavy blow on
the head and left him hanging in his
fastenings in an insenslble condition. He
was found six hours later nearly frozen
and half dead, and his condition is dam
gerOus. Martlng is nearly 90 years old.
These robbers work with impunity, as all
effort to locate or capture them seems
useless. The county cOnstabulary is pOw-
erless. and dwellers in isolated houses are
in constant dread. The deeds of the West
Virginia red men are being Outdone in
the metropolis.

EGYPTS FINANCES.
The Proposals which England Makes to
the Powers of EuroDe

PRIs, Dec 23.-Ld NGti0ndle says that
France has rejected England's proposals
with reference to the financial difficulties
of Egypt. According to the English pro-
posals, the burdens of Egypt are classi-
fed as follows:
First. Interest at 81 per cent. on Co.
| OO5,OOO, constituting a contemplated loan
guaranteed by England, the revenues of
the domains and Daira being assigned to
meet it and being up to the requisite
amount, paid into the Bank of England.
Second. The privileged debt with the
domain debt added, as also the loan of
t4,OOO,O00 for the Alexandria indemni-
ties, which will be issued at 1.10.
and like the privileged and domain
| debts Will bear per cent. interest without
| reduction.
Third. The unified debt augmented by
the Dlara debt and interest reduced to
| 81 per cent.
Fourth. Interest on the Suez canal
shares reduced from to Az per cent.
Ftrth. The cost of the administration.
amounting to about $4,000, 900, including
tl20,OO0 for the surplus of the annual cost
of the military occupation.
Stcth. The residue divided pro rata to

| agement of the domains, Diara and rail-
ways. Such is the substance of the
proposals on which the powers have for
some time past been exchanging views.
The statement Of La NdtiOHdIe that
France has rejected England's proposals
is not believed here.
La Temps declares that the English
proposals are unacceptable, but that
France can only act in concert with the
powers.
lt is believed at Cairo that Germany
and Russia intend to renew their demand
upon the Egyptian Government for adj
mission to the management of the Caisse
de la Dette Publique. They will ask
Egypt to give her consent to their admis-
sion, and likewise to procure reply from
the powers which have not yet expressed
their consent.

ports that the delay in the concentration
