On Wednesday evening about 9 o'clock
there was an alarm of fire in this town; but
when the drummer was most enthusiastic and
hadbeen joined by a horn blower and both
were performing with vigournear the Custom
House, a messenger came with all speed
to stop any further disturbance of the in
habitants, the fire having fortunately been
e~xtinguiShed. The cause of the alarm was
a fire in a small wooden kitchen in FREQ
Gut, which was destroyed partly by burn
ing and partly by the efforts of the neigh
bours to prevent the fire from spreading.
From the telegram received here on Thurs
day we learn that the first shots have been
exchanged between the Turks and the Rou-
melians. 1t is amusing to read that in a
country like Turkey the discovery that
enormous sums nave been misused is as
toun ding. 1t would, on the contrary, be
astounding to discover, that tn depart
ment in Turkey was properly and honestly
administered. Read the following utter,

potentiary at the Berlin Congress. "After

Child in Massachusetts.

DOVER, \. H., Oct 3.
-Four years ago Levi NJ. Williams of Farm
ington, Me, secured divorce from his wife
and a week later. through revenge, his wife
abducted from his custody their five year
old girl. No trace of either could be found
until Friday last, although Williams spent
$4,000 in hunting for his child. Friday last
n neighbor of Williams, who had been to
Indian Orchard, Mass, told him that while
there he heard that French Canadian family
had a little girl in custody who they had
adopted at its mothers in Pennington, Me.
Williams went to Indian Orchard, found the
family in question in their residence and
found his lost child. Both recognized one
another. The people having adopted the
child said its mother surrendered it to them
over three years ago and then left for New
York and has never been heard from since.

FROM SALT LAKE CITY.
Five MOrmOns Sentenced to the Full
Extent Of the Law.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 3.
In the third district caurt today Isaac Groo,
Alfred Best, Davis f. Davis, Charles Seal
and Andrew w Coley, convicted of unlaw-
full cohabtation, all refused to pledge them
selves TO obey the law in the future and were
sentenced to the full extent of the law
namely, six months imprisonment and $500
fine. In the tabernacle yesterday Apostle
Heber J. Grant said: "Woe to the Judge
who sits on the bench of the third district
court, we will not stand his abuse much
longer. He cannot insult honest men and
revile virtuous women with impunity by call
ing them bastards and concubines. CA few
SUNDAYS ago this same apostle proclaimed
himself bastard and said he gloried it it,
Apostle Grant then warmly landed those of
the brethren who had refused to submit to
the law and called upon the court to do its
worst. He continued, Judge Zane has
taken a course that has made him a coward
and unfit to be called man and condemna-
tion will fall upon him and the heads of his
children. Remember there is a limit and
this limit must soon be reached" His re-
marks were greeted with shouts of "Amen. -

LIBERTY OR DEATH.
Sixty COnvicts in Texas Make a Break for
Liberty-25 Killed and Wounded.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. ).
dispatch from Rusk, Texas, says
yesterday at the terminus of the Kansas &
Gulf Shore line, in Angelina county, sixty
convicts made a desperate break for liberty.
The men were being worked on the railroad.
The revolt occurred at 5 o'clock, just as the
prisoners had finished their supper, with
deafening yells they started up in body and
rushed for the neighboring woods. The
guards opened fire on the fleeing convicts
with deadly effect. The latest report says
that % of the convicts were killed or wound
ed. The prisoners ran in large body and
the guards simply empted their repeating
rifles and small arms into the moving mass.
Rumors of an intended mutiny in this camp
had been rife for some weeks past. These
rumors were strengthened by the fact that
many of the convicts were serving life SEN
tences, and were known to be desperate
characters Extra precautions were being
taken to avoid any uprising. Every means
possible is being used to recapture the 80
convicts who succeeded in eluding the rifles
of the guards The avenues of escape are
being guarded and posses are being organized
to scour the country.

FROM WASHINGTON.
New Arrangement Made by the Court OF
Commissioners of Alabama Claims.

WASHINGTON. Oct. ;.
All the principal attorneys for claimants
before the court of commissioners of Ala
bama claims have signed an agreement to pay
to jeremiah M. Wilson and Frank w. Her
kett, attorneys, certain sums of money to
loan or advance to clerks or other employees
Of the court, not to exceed the amount due
such persons salary, and authorized by the
existing law, any portion of the money not
used and all moneys received in return for
advances and loans made are to be divided
pro rata among the subscribers. This action
is taken on the ground that the expenses
hitherto incurred by the court, are in the
opinion of the attorneys just and reasonable,
and such as the court was authorized to in
cur; that all such expenses shall first be de-
Quoted from the money now in the treasury,
before the balance will be apportioned among
their clients; that by reason of such fact,
such expenses are in the end to be paid BY
their clients, and that unless some provision
is made for paying clerks and employees, the
court will not be able to dispose of its busi-
ness and the interests of their clients will
suffer thereby.

HEATH FAILURE.
Changes in the Stock Market-Gould's
Plans OF Relief.

NBw YORK, Get s.
A Wall street agency sent out the follow
ing, Monday morning 1t was said at Wind
sor Hotel that the outcome of Sundays con-
ference between Gould Commack and Heath,
would be the early resumption of business on
the part of Heath & Co. The market was bid
up on Saturday to cause such operators who
had not brought back stocks under rule for
Heath & Co. to cover. 1t is believed this
proved successful and that the short interest
in the room was greatly diminished. Several
prominent room traders who have been oper-
sting on the bear side, are reported to have
changed their position and to have gone
home, on Saturday, long of the market. Mr..
Gould and his friends are devising measures
to lessen the evils of the Heath failure.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Gen. Lew Wallace, ex.Minister, Gives
His View of the Situation.

NEW YORK, Oct g.
Gen. Lew Wallace, ex-minister to Turkey,
said today regarding the Bulgarian troubles :
81 don't think any action will be taken BY
Turkey until the signatory powers meet.
The Sultan has too much common sense to
rush hap hazard into war. He will aw ait the
issue of the conference. In case of a dis
agreement between the powers propably the
whole of Europe will be swept into hostilities
Russia, France and Italy on on side, and
England and Austria on the other. Germany
guided by Bismarck will endeavor to act as
arbitrator. Austria would Immediately take
possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
Russia would occupy Bulgaria and Roumeia.
The conference is most likely to result in
statu quo. The Sultan is as shrewd and capa-
BILE as any monarch in Europe. He is not de-
mented. That report was circulated some
years ago. and see its now revived. 1t must
be recollected that he is now between two
parties in his own country, one for war and
one for peace. Th ere is not monarch in
Europe who is called upon TO administer
government under greater difficulties than
he. have great confidence in his ability to
meet the present complications and deal with
them successfully. One of the worlds great
est wars will happen before the Crescent
disappears from the Bosphnrus."

THE VICE PRESIDENT
Tells What He Thinks About the Civil
Service Commission.

CoLUMBUs, Ohio Oct. 5.
Vice President Hendricks passed through
this city SATURDAY. evening, and in an inter-
view on general subjects stated he presumed
Congress would engage in a revision of the
tariff during the coming session. In refer
ence to the civil service commission and in
answer to the question, "Will the President
appoint men who entertain the same views
that characterized the Eaton, Gregory and
Thoman board?" Mr.. Hendricks replied
NO, sir. think Nr. Cleveland will appoint
men who while pledged to the principles of
civil service will have a business-like con-
cep.ion of the duties of their positions and
make their rulings more in harmony with the
the spirit that dominates political parties
than the old board did
will Thoman resign on his own accord,
or will the President ask for his resigna-
tion?"
"Oh, / presume Judge Thoman will re-
lieve the President of the embarrassment Of
asking for bis resignation, because in the re-
organization of the board he cannot hope to
be retained. The resignation of Messrs.
Eaton and Gregory of course means new
board and Judge Thoman. cannot think for
a moment, would want TO continue az a mem
ber after his colleagues saw ft TO place their
resignation with the president"

Interesting Newspaper Statistics.

OF the statistics of all the departments OF
the Census Bureau none is more valuable and
interesting than that which collects the data
of the press of our country.
There is no better way to judge of the sue
cess and prosperity of any section OF coun-
try than to examine the newspapers publish
ed in that section-as they are successful and
prosperous, so is the country and neighbor-
hood in which they circulate.
AS the reports of the Census Bureau are
issued but once in ten year il can be readily
seen that il We were obliged to depend on
them alone, we would lose much valuable in
formation and time, and would only receive
our information after il had been rendered
almost useless by its age. Thanks to private
enterprise and capital, however, we are able
to keep ourselves posted from year to year on
the data of the press throughout the country.
OF these private enterprises none Is more re-
lied upon or of more value then that OF Edwin
Alden 4 Bros. American Newspsprr Csta-
logue, which is published each year by that
pushing firm of Advertising Agents
