REVOLT IN ROUMELIA.
An Extraordinary Movement Con-
ceived and Executed With
out BIoodshed.
Grave European Complications Likely
TO Arise-An Appeal from
the Porte.
London dispatch.l

The populace of Philippopolis. the CAPT.
tai Of Eastern Roumelia, almost to man
rose in rebellion yesterday. and seized the
Governor General, deposed the govern
ment, and proclaimed q union with Bulga-
ria. A provisional government was estab-
lished. The revolt was so well planned
that no disorder or bloodshed occurred,
everybody being in sympathy with the
movement except the government officials.
The foreigners in the city are perfectly
safe from harm, as is also the property OF
foreign residents. Immediately after the
organization of the provisional governments
the militia was sworn. In, taking the
oath of allegiance to Prince Alexan-
der of Bulgaria. 1t is generally be-
lieved in diplomatic circles that
RUSSIA arranged the programme of the ris-
ing and suggested the union with Bulgaria.
No definite statement can be made at pres
emit as to what action the signatory powers
TO the treaty of Berlin will take respecting
the matter.
Eastern Roumelia was created by the Con-
gress of Berlin, 1878, and was given an
autonomic government, though forming an
integral part of the Turkish Empire. The
Governor General was appointed by the
Porte, subject to the approval OF the treaty
powers.
1t is stated that Prince Alexander Of Bull
garia has been assured of the support OF
Russia, Germany. and Austria, He will
send an army to Roumelia, and will defy
the Turks. The Sultan Of Turkey has ap-
pealed to the powers to enforce the treaty
Of Berlin. 1t is not believed that Lord
Salisbury will interfere. The Liberals ap-
plaud the action of the Roumelians.
[Philippopolis dispatch.]
The insurgents in Eastern Roumelia,
acting under orders of the provisional gov
ernment have occupied all the strategical
points on the Turkish frontier, blown up
all the bridges which would likely be used
by force advancing from Turkey to the
relief Of the deposed government, and de-
stroyed the telegraph wires leading into
Turkey.
The Bulgarian army has been modified,
and a corps has been sent to the Roumelian
frontier. Prince Alexander has proceeded
to Philippoplis and has appointed M.
Strausky as commissioner. M. Strausky
is now President of the Roume!ian pro-
visional government.
Paris Dispatch
1t is feared here that the Roumelian
trouble will lead to a general European inn
broglio. The East is most infammable,
and serious results are anticipated.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE.
Singular Experience of an Ohio Woman
Whose Husband Has Been Dead
Twenty Years.
Washington telegram


telegram from Toledo relates the story
and was buried thirteen years ago but is
still writing to his family. The Sunday
Capital prints story quite as remarkable,
as follows: "A very rem arkable case has
come to my attention through a friend in
the Pension Office which furnishes Incl
dents for a novel as powerful as any Dumas
or Eugene Sue ever used. In 1864 Lieu
tenant from an Ohio village was killed
in one of the battles in Virginia
and bis body was sent home, buried with
military honors and handsome monument
erected over it by the citizens of the place.
Thousands of people paid their tributes of
honor to the young hero and looked upon
his face as the body lay in state in the Town
Hail. He left widow to whom he had been
married only year, and for more than
twenty years she has been trying to get
pension; but, although she keeps fresh tiow-
ers upon her husbands grave, she can not
prove that he is dead. The records in the
Adjutant Generals Office are perfect, and
affidavits can be furnished from thousands
of people who saw and recognized his life
less body, but every few months she re-
ceives a letter from him written in hand
as familiar as her own. Two letters never
come from the same place; now they are
postmarked in Colorado, then in Texas,
then in New York. Once she got note
from him dated at Washington. He APP
pears to know what is going on at home,
and always alludes to local occurrences
with a familiarity that is amazing. He
sends messages to old friends and gives her
advice about business matters which il
seems impossible for stranger to know.
She can not answer these ghostly missives,
because he never gives any clue to his
whereabouts, and no detective has been
able to find him. Her friends believe that
the writer is some crank or malicious per-
son who takes this way to annoy her, and
the distress the poor woman suffers cannot
be measured by any other human expert
ence. Long ago she ceased to open en-
velopes which came with the familiar ad-
dress, but sends them sealed to her at
torney, who uses every possible means to
secure a clue to the identity Of the writer.
may possibly be her husband are the
penmanship and the familiarity the writer
shows with the lady's private life but how
he could keep himself posted is another
mystery that cannot be solved. Several
times the writer has intimated that he might
soon pay her visit, but the next letter al
ways contains an apology for not having
done so. The woman has suffered agony
Of mind beyond description, and her life
has been ruined by this horrible mystery,
but of late she has become more resigned,
and would neither be surprised nor disap-
pointed If her husband should some day
walk in at her door.
