THE SITUATION IN BULGARIA.


SOFIA, Sept. 2s.-The bulgarian gov
eminent will formally assume an attitude
toward the demands Of Gen. Kaulbars
when those demands have been presented
in writing. This fact may cause a furth-
er delay of several days in the settlement
OF the matters in question. Gen. kaul-
bars yesterday said that the "object of his
mission here is no mystery. If Bulgaria
hoped for Russian support on vital ques-
tons she must ask It sincerely and with
out reservation The general empha
sized the word Sincerely because lat
terly things have occurred here which are
not calculated TO inspire confidence, but
to shock public opinion in Russia
The general, III conclusion, said that
1.-THE conditions named were necessary
for free expression of the public judg
ment and that he had embodied them in
"A note to the regency this morning that
Russia had no thought of naming Il can

tons were fulfilled. If they were refused

annual fair of the Iamoille Valley fair
ground company opened here Tuesday,
the 2Sth. As ha, often been the case, the
first day WAS very unfaVorable, being cold
and rainy. This delayed all the entries,
and the articles for exhibition. On this
account the time for closing the entries
was extended from Tuesday to Wednes-
day noon. There were not more than 400
$40 people on the grounds at any one time
during the day A good amount of stock
and numbers of articles came, however,
and an excellent start was made for a sue

weather.
Wednesday, the second day, was a de
cided success, both in the exhibitions and
the attendance. There We're fully POO more
entries than ever before in the several de
paltmcuts. The exhibition hail was
crowded with articles in all departments,
and was packed with people nearly all
day. The chef attraction OF the day was
a successful balloon ascension by Prof.

by Frank H. Davis of Winchendon, Mass.

Unprecedented Death.

London Spectator: One would have
thought it impossible that there should
be an unprecedented accident: but
it is said that the catastrophe on Loeb
Fyne, by which seven persons lost
their lives Saturday, had never occur
red before. 1t has been the custom oi
the ballies of Glasgow to attend the an
nual ..mOnster blasts" in the great
Crarae Quarries on that lOch, and this
year the custom was observed. Seven
tons of powder were fired at once, dis
lodging it is believed. some $4,000 tons
of granite, and after the stone had fall
en- the visitors strolled into the quarries
to see the result. Some 800 ladies and
gentlemen were standing about talking
when one after another was observed
to fall apparently dead, till nearly a
hundred bodies were stretched on the
stone.
They were at once carried out by
the quarrymen; but it was found tina,
seven were dead. and that thirty were
more or less injurud. q few severely.
The visitors had been asphyxiated by
the sulphurOus vapOr caused by the
blast, the shortest among them feeling
it first and most severely. Those who
died, died instantly. and one witness,
who tainted but recovered, testified
that the sensation was rather pleasan;
than painful. No blame attaches to
any one, the vapor having been re-
tanned longer than usual by the horse
shoe shape of the quarry, which stops
the breeze on three sides.
