Rev. DR.. George Washburn, presi-
dent of Robert College at CONSTANT
nople, sends home a graphic picture OF
the pitiful condition into which Bull
garia has been thrown by Russia's
stubborn efforts to subject the coun-
try to it's sway. The great majority
OF the people, he says, would gladly
have retained Prince Alexander even
by force; yet notwithstanding the ter
xibleexcitement under which they have
been laboring, the Government has
thus far been able to maintain peace
and order; there have been no disturb
ances and no illegal acts, save the beat
ing here and there Of some person con-
cerned in the conspiracy against Alex
ander; and the Government has done
iits, best to conciliate foreign Powers
even Russia; has received relations
with 6eryia, maintained those with
Roumania and treated Turkey with
respect, and faithfully and patisntly
labored for the one object, 70 pre-
servo order and escape from the prss-
1nt crisis without sacridcine national
jpdepsndsaos. Z

Another Biz Boston Def.ulter.

General Manager Reed, treasurer of q
South Boston Horse Railroad company,
was arrested in Boston on the charge o.
embezzling 500 in cash and 500, 900 in
an overissue Of stock Of the company. 1t il
claimed that the embezzlement has been
going on for the past five or six years. Reed
has been treasurer OF the company ten
years, and has always been trusted with
all the funds. He was arrested at his home
in South Boston. He refused to say any
thing in regard to tho accusation. Mr..
Reed, in addition to his treasurership oil
the railroad company, has been for some
time engaged as q broker. The surplus oil

$50, 959. The total amount embezzled
was $1O4,0O0, of which $34, 500 is over

A correspondent OF the St.. Louis

homes and poured it into Partisan
hotels and shops with a zeal just

The money out of the country with

figures il they would look up the
amounts spent in Europe by the
American tourists. The great shops
of Paris have been crowded with
Americans all summer, and the dress
makers and milliners overrun with
American custom. At one of the

The circulation of the national
banks reached high water mark in
1881, when it stood at $327,42O,O 900.
During the intervening period the
amount has nominally been reduced
to about 1920, ooo, 900. In spite OF
this large apparent reduction, due to
the retirement offs per cent bonds,
the approximations expressed in regard
TO tho probable effect of such rapid
reduction do not appear to have
materialized. This is due, doubtless,
to the fact that in spite of such re-
duction there has actually been a large
increase in the circulating money OF
the country during the same period.
This increase has been in gold, silver,
and certificates, the amount thereof
being nearly 5000, 600, 600.

The reason given why the Southern
Pacific Company ceased the use oil
petroleum as feul upon it's steamers
and the one or two locomotives which
were fitted to burn it instead oil
wood or coal is a curious one. 1t ap-
pears that as a steam-producing ele-
ment it is successful. being in addition
comparatively inexpensive and Geo.
nomical. But either the flame from it
is SO intense, or there are chemical
elements in it which act injuriously
upon boilers-for engineers assert that
iron cannot withstand it and that
steel is not much better-they claim
that until some metal is discovered
which will resist it's action coal and
wood will necessarily have to be used.

The internal revenue officials are
surprised at the large amount OF rev.
enue which the Oleomargarine law
promises to produce. The estimate
is that it will yield not less than ST..
100000 a year and that the sun will
probably reach 81, 500, 900. The law,
it is further said, is likely to prove a
benefit to the better class of manufac-
turers by keeping out of the market
the products of establishments which
have been making an inferior article
by the use of poor materials.

United States Treasurer Jordan says
that the effect Of the offer to prepay
interest on the public debt would be
to distribute almost Immediately
about SIC. ooo, 900 among about
1000 banks and individuals in every
section of the country, and would, in
his opinion, be of great advantage in
the moving Of crops and other branch
es OF business. The secretary's action
be said, was entirely for the benefit Of
the business interest.

The Limited Trains Taken on.

The announcement has officially been
made that co mmenoing Sunday in st. Paul
the29th inst. the limited trains between st.
Paul and Min neapolis and Chicago would be
taken of. The reason assign ed was that
there was not business enough to warrant
the running of these trains during the win
ter months. The order withdrawing the
trains said that they would probably be
put on again April 1, to continue running
during the summer months. The chanc-
es are, however, that the twin cities
of the Northwest will not for q long
time again enjoy the privilege OF
a .twelve.hour train service. The
limited trains never paid. They were al.
together experimental, and it has been
conclusively proven that they cannot be
made to pay unless the public will submit
to an extra tax of at least 50 or 50. In
Guiding the limited trains there are now
running between the cities mentioned four.
teen trains during the week and twelve on
Sunday. This is altogether too many, for
one.half that number would easily a:com-
modatethe present limited travel.

Death Of Manager Hoxie.

II. M. Hoxie, general manager OF the
Gould Southwes tern system, died at 2:30
Tuesday morning the 22d inst, at his
rooms in the Metropolitan opera house
New York City. The cause Of his death
was exhaustion consequent upon an OPP
grafton performed on him at Saratoga. in
June last, by removing stones from his
bladder. He has also suffered from kid
ney disease for the last thirty-five years.
He left st. Louis in the latter part OF
May and came to Saratoga. After consul
tation with a physician he concluded to
have the operation peri ormed which re-
suited in his death. After the operation
Mr.. Hoxie was relieved and felt better for
q time than he had for years. He hoped
that by taking q rest he would regain his
health entirely.
In his early days Mr.. Hoxie lived at Des
Moines, Iowa, and for twenty years there
alter. He was United States marshal OF
Iowa in 1862. and was very efficient in
suppressing knights Of the Golden Circle.
Soon utter the war he left here to accept
position on the Union Pacific railway.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Indicted for killing Hsddock.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, Special Telegram, Nov.
lS.-The grand jury, which has been inses.
sion for the past ten days, reported and
adjourned, to-day. Public interest OF
course conferred in the Haddock assassina-
ton case, and a large crowd gathered in the
court room in anticipation OF the jury's
report. The result OF the grand jury's In
v%estigation in the indictment of John
Arensdorf for the murder OF George C.
Haddock. Indictments for conspiracy
were also found against HI. L. Leavitt, Fred
Munchrath, Paul Leader (Bismarck), II.
Sherman (Gander), Henry Peters, Louis
Platt and George Trieber. The four last
named have. not yet BEEN apprehended.
The grand jury made a patient and effective
investigation, and it's action is welcomed
and endorsed by the law-abiding element OF
this community. It is suggestive OF the state
of public sentiment here that there have
been innumerable rumors Of tampering
with the jury with q view to defeating in
dictments, and many have been led to en-
terrain doubts to it's action, but with the
evidence before the jury which it collected,
any other conclusion was practically i'm
possible. 1t had the evidence OF eye wit
nesses, the confession OF conspirators, and
a vast mass OF corroborative circumstan.
tial evidence. 1t is stated on the authori.
ty OF a member OF the jury that action at
all material points in these cases, includ-
ing the finding OF indictments, was unan.
imous. AS TO the question of bail, Judge
Lewis said tonight that he had not con.
sidered that matter yet, nor had he heard
from the attorneys On either side. One of
the attorneys for the prosecution later said
that the prosecution would ask that Arens-
dorf be held to trial without bail, and
that the other defendants should give
heavy bonds. The TACT that Arensdorf
has been suffered to 60 under light bonds
has aided him and his friends to maintain
an aspect OF treating the whole business as
a trivial and even IL jocular affair, and
thus to build up and solidify a sort Of sup
port in certain quarters OF the community.
As he made the rounds of the saloons he
moved with the air and court of a hero.
1t is reported that a number of other
persons will be indicted for complicty in
the conspiracy leading up to the murder,
but the prosecution prefers to wait for a
more convenient season. The trial on the
indictments found will probably not occur
before the last OF January.

CLEANED FROM THE MAILS.

attended the german at Old Point last Satur-

thing that has preceded it this season. The
beauty of the ladies and their exquisite toll

handsome and are treasured by the young
ladies as souvenirs of the happy event. Fully

OH PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Staunton has just met a severe loss III
her public school system by the election il
Richmond of her Superintendent, anc
Principal of the High School, to positions
there. Tears over spilt-milk are wasted
and so would be lamentations over the
loss of two such admirable school men as
W. A. Bowles aud Geo. 2. Perry. But
there is the future to attend to and oui
School Board will doubtless set about 1t al
once. First of all the School Board should
secure wide field for selection-as wide
as advertising can make it. ADVERTISE
ments shoald be put in those Journals
most read by school men, so as to attract
the attention of the profession at large.
The public schools are trust for the PEG.
pie and in doing the best for them we
should use the same means that are used
by any other business in attaining publ
city. The reputation of Staunton schools
as now become established throughout
the State. We must0not allow it to be
lowered from its high standard. We can
not afford to do it, in detriment to the
parents Of the children who pay for them.
Stanton wants, if it can be gotten, a
young man well equipped for the duties
and who if 1t is possible to secure such an
one, is a graduate of Normal School in
this or some other State. Staunton wants
no representative of the old time system,
at any prices. We would suggest to our
School Board that it follows the plan
favored in other cities-adyertise for gen.
tlemen to fill the vacancies and appoint a
day for the election. Just at this time of
year there are many competent men on the
lookout for employment in their profess
sion and it will not be hard to reach them
if the proper means are used. What
Staunten wants in both the places she has
to fill is men abreast of the times in their
profession, nor can she afford to have any
other sort.

The Right Spirit.

The Town Council of Waynesboro'. in
order to encourage the location Of manu-
featuring enterprises, have by unani-
nous vote relieved the "Waynesboro'
Creamery" about to be established by Mr..
r. G.. Wright. from taxation for term
of years.
What is necessary to build up our waste
places is that every community in the
Commonwealth should foster manufact-
uring enterprises. The conversion of raw
material into products of value must en-
nance values and promote prosperity. We
hear it is likely there will soon be estab-
lished at the same point by Northern cap
ital a factory for the manufacture of
shafts singletrees, handles, spokes, &C..
which will probably employ from 40 to 60
hands.
