Austria's Threats.
LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Advices from Sofa
state that the armistice between Bulgaria
and servia was only concluded after the
Austro. Hungarian Minister to servia had
notified Prince Alexander thatif the Bull
garians advanced another kilometer the
Austrian troops would cross the frontier
and fight the Rulgsrians. The Minister
added that the capture OF Prot had saved
Prince Alexandera military honor and as
Sured his reputation. Dispatches receiv-
cd in Vienna early to-day explain Aus
tria's haste, which eliminated at $3.50
o'clock p. n. in the Armistice. They stat
cd that the Bulgarian garrison at Widdin
made q desperate sortie, but was repulsed
after desperate fighting, in which many
bayonets were crossed and hRnd-to-hand
struggles occurred. The slaughter was
terrible on both sides.
The Turkish war preparations continue
on large scale. Seventy thousand troops,
5000 horses and lS0 cannon have been
landedIa Salonica during the past few days.
The Turks are confident Of being able to
repel single attack by either Greece or
Eervia, or combined attack by both.
Turkish troops are being massed in the
vicinity Of Noyi.Bazar.
In second dispatch from the front it is
now reported that the proposed armiBtice

THE PRKsID ENr's MESSAGE
Not to bo Sent to congress UntiI the sSOoa
Day Of the Session.

Not to bo sont to congress Until the HSooad
Day OF the Session.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-It is definitely
ascertained that the Presidents message
will not be read to Congress before the
second day OF the session. Heretofore
there has always been considerable doubt
as to the exact time. when the message
would be received. Correspondents have
always been worried with dispatches from
their newspapers, inquiring the exact time
when the message is to be put in, so as to
make room fof the evening telegraphic
service. Representations OF the difficulty
under which newspapers labored, have
been made at the White House, and Col
cnel Lamont appreciating the advantage
OF foreknowledYe, says that il Congress or
ganizes on the first day, the message will
be sent in on the second day OF the ses-
sion. Heretofore everything depended on
the time Congress succeeded in perleGtlng
ito organization. AS soon as this was al
iected the joint committees would be
formed to notify the President that the
Houses were organized, and ready for any
thing that he might communicate to them.
There has always been some doubt as to
the hour Of organization, and, therefore, =
matter OF doubt has always existed as to
the precise time when the message would
be received by the two houses. That
question will be sottled now 10 the satis-
faction OF the newspapers OF the country.
They can make their arrangements for the
printing Of the message on the second day
OF the session.

bismarck Says They Cannothe Admitted to
German Colonies.
BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-In the ReiChstag to-
day Prince Bismarck, replying TO ques-
ton regarding the treatment Of mission
aries in German colonies, pointed outthat
what was forbidden in Germany could
not be done in the colonies. This, how
ever, did not apply to Catholic missions
generally. The matter was not religious
but an international question. The JeSuits
we're always notified that they would not
be admitted into the colonies. Moreover,
the Iesuits in question were naturally
Frenchman, and in view Of the ant.Ger-
man feeling prevailing in France, it was
only prudent to keep such elements ot dis
order at distance.
A lengthy debate took place in which
DR.. Windthorst, leader OF the Clerical
party, defended the Jesuits, and COM
planned that evangelical missions were
favored by the Government, To this
Prince Bismarck replied that only JeSuits
were excluded from the colonies.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-By to-day 8
mail advices from China it is learned that
the steamer Greyhound, Captain @. W.
Sieder, trading between Hong Kong and
Pakhoi, left the former port October II,
on one Of her regular trips, with 100 pass
engers and general cargo. When the
steamer was about 70 miles southwest OF
Hong Kong about 40 apparently innocent
passengers scattered over the vessel and
suddenly opened fire on the unsuspecting
officers with revolvers. The Captain at.
tempted to reach the chart room 10 arm
himself, but was met with volley from
the pirates, stabbed and thrown over
board. The only other white officers on
board were the first and second mates and
the chief and assistant engineers. The
chief officer and assistant engineers were
forced at the point OF rsyolVers to work
the vessel, while others remained until
the passengers and the Chinese crew Of
25 men were battened down in the hold.
The pirates then rausacked the steamer.
The vessel was turned about and when
about 40 miles from Hong Kong another
vessel came alongside and took off the
pirates and their plunder, valued at Sl0,-
900, and sailed away. The pirates were
in possession nearly nine hours. The
Chinese authorities have captured two
junks containing tho property pirated
from the Greyhound and six men who
were concerned in the outrage. They
have been taken to Canton, where they
will probably be beheaded.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 29.-The President
this afternoon determined not to make the
trip to indianapolis. To the representa-
tives OF the Associated Press he said: "In
the first moment OF the shock OF Mr.. Hem
dricks' death yielded to my inclination
and declared my intention to be present
at the funeral. OF course, in reaching
that conclusion, l did not put out OF view
a peremptory press OF public business, or
what l deemed . sufficient con-
sideration OF my duty to the peo-
pie. The public business, thought, l
could dispose OF by additional application
and more hours Of work, and considered
it to be my duty to the people to answer
apublic sentiment OF respect. am salts
fed now that was at fault in considering
the question in that l did not take as COM
prehensive n view OF tho duty owe the
public as should; that is, did not look
at every phase OF it, and am afraid my
strong personal desire somewhat clouded
my judgment. am now reminded by
some Of the best and most patriotic and
thoughtful Of our citizens that the real
and solemn duties Of my office are

living in his State aud city, and their en-
dorsement by the notable and patriotic
woman, who, in the infinite sorrow Of her
widoWhood, reflects thespiritand character
OF her honored husbAndin hersolicitude for
the public good. ] am now certain that
neither my desire nor the sentiment re-

NoRwIcH, 0HIo, Nov. 29.-Quite sen
sation was caused in this village this Af
terAoon, by the discovery that Mrs. Birdie
Shreyer, wife OF Solomon Shreyer, had
taken poison with suicidal intent.
Doctor Geyer was summoned imme'
diately upon the discovery, but his efforts
to save her life were unavailing, and she
died about o'clock. Mrs. Shreyer was %
years Of age and the daughter OF John
Scott, wealthy resident Of Cambridge,
Ohio.
No cause is known for the rash act ex-
cept that she had been respondent at
times, on account OF her husbands diasi-
patton.
About an hour after Mrs. Shreyer died,
her husband was found lying in his room
in an insensible condition from the effects
OF q large dose OF chloroform, with
which he had attempted to take his life,
prpmpted by remorse for the action he
had caused his wife 10 take. Shreyer is
nov in q critical condition and there Is
very little hope Of his recovery. They
have only been married little over
year and were well-to-do.

Saturday evening there was bloody cut.

Martins Branch, KSnAwha county. Mr..
Jack Gotf's school closed on that day, and
the teacher and neighbos Of that vicinity
set big dinner on that occasion and in

great many people went to partake oil the
good things that were in store for them.
Everything went on nicely until after din

Some Of the boys had taken on too much

Z. B. Crane made mention that his horse
could outrun Burl Asburry's hone. As
bury remarked, "You are q d. liar"
Immediately Asburry, his brother, and
two OF the Bailey boys made rush at
Crane with knives drawn. Crane Knocked
two OF them down with his fists, and
fought the four men like lion, having
nothing to defend himself with but his
fists. Friends separated them at last, but
not until the gallant Crane was cut in
many places, one deep cut In the back
Is inches long, one stab in the breast and
one on the head. His shirt collar was cut
in two twice, scratching his skin slightly.
His left arm is cut and hacked in many
places, the muscle OF the arm being cut
square in two. None Of the parties have
been arrested as yet. 1t is nothing un-
common here in Kanawha to see q man
shot down or cut all to pieces. It has been
done recently in the city Of Charles

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-That for q few
days the Gould brokers in Wall street
have been bearish on the stock market
may possibly be accounted for by the fact
that Gould himself is about to quit Wall
street. The Stock Exchange firm OF W.
Z. Conner & Co., in which Jay Gould is a
special partner, with a capital OF 100000.
and George ]. Gould general partner,
will be dissolved at the end OF the year.
The partnership expires December 81, and
it will be renewed. Both oil the Messru.
Gould will formally sever their relations
with Wall street, and will hereafter devote
their time and energies principally to the
management OF the three corporations in
which MIR. Jay Gould Is most largely in
terested. Messrs. Conner and Morosini
will, in all probability, continue business
together, but the formation OF the new
firm has not yet been completed. In
speaking OF tine matter to-day, Mr.. Gould
said:
~ have decided To leave Wall street. I
have been down there twenty-five years,
and now that am about so, think am
entitled TO retire. Let someo the younger
men take care Of things down there. So
far as the market is concerned, have

doing things that did not do, and as l
had closed up l thought 1t best to come
away, and while lpropose to rest some, to
devote myself to the companies that | am
interested In. The firm does not need me,
as Mr.. Connor and Mr.. Morosini are rich
and have ample capital 10 continue the
business. Just what arrangements they
have made do not know; in fact, don't
think they have completed them yet,
They may continne as specials, taking
in some Of the younger men TO do

feeling toward both OF them, and
they have my best good will. George will
come up here with me and tAke an active
part in the management OF the companies
in which we are nterested-Missouri Paci-

"Although Western Union is doing
business at less rates than year ago, it Is
making about as much money. The re-
ports from our test offices last week show
an increase Of $l2,0 900 in receipts as COM
pared with last year. Competition, doubt
less, makes US look sharply after our SER
vice, and may be good for that reason; but
