THE MORIER INCIDENT
Causes a Deal of Excitement
Across the BrinY.

BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The Post practically
accuses Sir r. D. Morier of forgery. 1t
says: "The wonderful jargon of the
Bazaine letter, bristling with anglicisms
and solecisms, cannot possibly have been
by Frenchman. Its language startled
the Parisians, but as they desired to ex-
onerate Morier at any cost they over
came the difficulty in a highly charac-
teristic fashion. 10 effect their object
they simply committed forgery.
The Journal des Debats quietly
touched up the letter from beginning
to end, Just as French professor would
correct an essay written by an English
schoOlboy, and then presented it to its
French readers with the text perfect in
form and diction.' The Post prints
two versions of the letter. The Kol-
nische Zeitung, which first published
the original charges against Morier, in
Inmates that the letter conveys the i'm
preston that it was written by an
Englishman, and that only the signature
is Bazaine,s. The Vossiche Zeitung
says: "This new accusation against
Morier is one of such exceedingly enOr-
nifty, that it can only fill German read
ers with feeling of profound shame,
and unless proof of its business is
Immediately rendered the charge can
hardly fail to have an almost infuriat-
ing effect upon foreigners" The Weser
Zeitung deplores the "palpable ami
mosity' displayed in the publication of
the charge, and says: "Such an odious
accusation should only have been
brought after careful examination had
furnished irrefragable proofs. or at
least substantial grounds for suspicion.
Was this broken man, Bazaine, wit
ness whose statements. ranging. as they
did. beyond all probability, should have
been believed without farther ado? 1t is
much to be regretted that the foreign
office having declined to speak, the set
tlement of the dispute is left to the
press. AT any rate the impression ap-
pears to prevail that the Kolnische Zeit-
ung was enabled to utilize, and did util-
ize, semi-0fficial sources of informa-
tiOn."
LONDON, Jan. 7.-The Journal DIES
Debats of Paris, publishes letter from
Gen. Casseron proving that the fighting
at Metz in 1870. began day before Aug.
l6, the date on which Mai. Define
represents Gen. Bazaine as say
ing he received Morier's intima-
tion of the approach of the Ger
mans. Similar statements are pub
lished by Vienna papers. Nest of the
Vienna papers, and also the st. Peters
burg press, side with Morier. The
Frankfurter Zeitung fears that the
MOrier affair will do little credit to the
German system of employing the press
officially.

Killed in West VIRGINIA.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 6.-From New
Hope, Mercer county, W. Va. the Post
learns of a frightful accident Saturday

have dropped from the arms of Wade
Shuifelbarger, exposing the bones, and
his death will soon come. Jerome Car
ter and William Carter were also seri-
ously injured. The explosion is said to
be due to the carelessncss of the en-
gineer in allowing the water in the
boiler to run low.

Wholesale Horse Stealing.

A gigantic horse-stealing industry is
thought to have been established in the
Coteaus along the Missouri River. A
great many horses stray away and are
never heard from; others are taken from
the stables and no trace is ever found of
them, and their complete disappearance,
and the utter impossibility of ever find
ing them after they have strayed away or
been stolen has been a mystery that has
caused considerable comment; but facts
have lately come to light which may ex-
plain some of the looseness of equine
property. = i
Different parties take number of old,
decrepit horses out among the hills which
are totally uninhabited, and any strays
that may be around will come to the
herds, when they will be caught and sent
out to other parties connected with the
gang, and in a few days they will have
the horses hundreds of miles from where
they were picked up, and then offer them
for sale with safely. Facts lead to the
belief that this organization leads from
near Pierre, South Dakota, to Great Falls,
Montana, and possibly to the British pos
sessions. Horses that are stolen nea,
Pierre are run North through the Coteaus,
travelling stated distances and by night,
and are stolen in the northern field, while
horses that are sold in the North are
sent South, and sold or traded between
La Mourc, North Dakota, and Pierre.
A vigilance committee of large dimen-
sions should 60 North and clear out these
