ATTACKED IN PERSIA.
THE AMERICAN MINISTER ROUGHLY
TREATED BY ROYAL GUARDS.
While Riding with his Daughter Minister
Beniamin's Equipagc Assaulted by the
Shah's Troop Reputation De-
manded and Made.

WAsHINGToN, Dec 21.-The following
is an official report by G.. w. Benjamin,
late minister to Persia, recently communi-
Gated by the President to Congress :
81 have the honor to report that
on the 12th of June was rid
ing out from Teheran in carriage to the
summer quarters of the legation, accom-
panied by my daughter According to
custom my carriage was preceded by two
outriders. AS we approached half way to
the coffee house | observed Il line of car
riages waiting by the roadside in the
shade, but us it was II common sight had
no idea that any precaution need be taken
was surprised therefore to see II troop of
mounted cavalry rush out and make II NiO-
lent attack ON my Outriders who imme-
diately cried out several times that the
United States minister was in the car
riage and had the right of Wap. The sol
dierS belonged to the royal guard aud I'M
mcdiately attcr | perceived the wives of
the Shah in carriages Although having
officially the absolute right to pass,
allowed to none except ministers
and their families, at the risk OF
immediate death To all others ordered
my driver to stop and give the officer an
opportunity to come to the carriage 10
But rs no attention was paid To TINS or
dercd my men to keep on thus throwing
the responsibility of amy results ON the
guards who, not satisfied with beating the
uutridcrs with the flat of their swords,
swarmed around the carriage itself with
loud cries and tlouriohing of weapons.
The lieutenant seized my carriage horses
and two even struck the driver himself.
Fortunately the man was alike skilliul
and intrepid and succeeded in controlling
the horses and in driving us safely out.
1t Is proper to add that when the chief
lady of the harcm saw what was going on
She despatched euuuch for an escort but
he did not arrive until too late. All my
men and horses were more or less bruised
and one man had his arm broken. Al
behaved well. | sent II note dcmandin-
prompt chaStlsment of the offenders. On
the following morning Sanict FL DcWlet
Il prominent Cabinet minister, called ant
stated that he hal been personally deput
ed by the shah to express The royal regret
and say our demands should receive i'm
mediate Alteration. The captain of the
royal guards also called and gracefully
apUlogzcd. Al who had taken part il
the assault, who could be identified, were
severely punished.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS Tragedy.


FoXBORO, Mass, Dec. 21.-There is
much excitement here over the murder of
Mrs. Elizabeth Arlington, II widow lady
about 50 years of age. The crime was
committed either at late hour Friday
night or early Saturday morning. Mrs.
ArriC gton was found lying dead in her
kitchen, by ii neghbOr who came to call
on her and found the doors unlocked
There were deep gashes i'll her head. No
clue has as yet been obtained OF the Grim
inal.
Further examination shows the walls
and windows to be spattered with blood
and on one of the window castings was the
print of three bloody fingers where the
murderer put his hand to drop the cur
tam, and in his haste he broke the string.
On one of the mats were bloody foot
prints, clearly defined, showing Il heel and
sole. The murderer tried to clean up the
bood-stains with ii cloth. 1t is thought
the murder was for money, but il 50 the
murderer failed to get amy, as about
S25 were found in II box on the table
which is believed to he all she had.
The most plausible theory is that she was
murdered for her money by some one who
knew she had received 1t recently and
about dusk on Christmas eve. What the
weapon was is not discovered, but il is
thought to have been with Il dull Ratchet,
the murderer striking two blows as she sat
in her chair, and others after she had
failed on the floor and while struggling in
her death agony.
