A Socialist Declares that Alsace-Lor-
raine Must be Restored to France.
BERLIN, Feb. ia meeting in the in
terest OF Herr Doerr, workman who is a
candidate for electionlto the Reiohstag, was
held at Bingen to-day. Among tho speak
ers was Herr Joest, socialist leader. In
the course of his address he declared that
the restoration Of Alsace- Lorraine to France
was necessary. He also said that the per-
sonal qualities of the French were incom-
parablY superior TO those of the Germans.
The French workmen, he declared, were
brothers of the German workmen, while
the German bourgeoiso were their enemies.
An extra force of police is ou duty in all
the principal thoroughfares tonight in con-
sequence Of apprehension of disorder due to
the elections.

RUSSIA AND BULGARIA.

A Demand for Payment of the Costs OF
the Peace Army's Occupation.
SOFIA, Feb. 19-Russia has demanded Of
the government Of Bulgaria the payment of
100000 roubles, arrears of money due on
account Of the Russian occupation during
1878 and 1879. The demand is in part re-
lated to the consolidation under one gov
ernment of Bulgaria and Eastern
Roumelia. By the treaty Of Berlin
of July, 1873, it was provided that Russia,
whose armies had just conquered
for these countries their freedom from OF
toman dominion, should maintain military
occupation Of Eastern Roumania for nine
months. The object of this was to guaran-
tee tranquility of the country, It being
apprehended that between the Turkish au-
thorities left in partial control and the
long-oppressed population, inspired by
partial freedom there would be murderous
conflicts if the conquering armies were with
drawn before the respective elements had
accustomed themselves to their relations.
As is usual in such cases, the expense of
maintaining the troops was to be assessed
upon the province. Russia has never pressed
this debt, but demands arrears now appa-
rently under n sense of irritation.

SHARON'S BIG SENSATION
THE REPORTS OF THE AFFAIR
RATHER EXAGGERATED.

The Taking Of Testimony in the Case
Concluded - Duckworth Testifes
That He Treated with the Commit
teemen as Friends and Feared No
Injury From Them.
AUGUSTA, GA, Feb. 10-The investiga-
tion into the Sharon postoliice trouble failed
to develop sensational features. Not a sin
gle defendant or attorney was present, and
not even dozen spectators had curiosity
enough to sit through the investigation.
The witnesses were Postmaster Duckworth,
his partner in farm, George T. Mitchell;
two clerks in his store, George T. Wilson
and b. l. Reese, and his landlady, Mrs
Matte Perkins. There was no evidence OF
violence or Attempted violence, and the
only facts proven are those freely admitted,
and which were published in tho news
papers at the time about the citizens meet
ings, the committees waiting on Duckworth
and the burning in effigy.
NOT AN osuNoUs LOOKING COFFIN
It was proven that Duckworth found a
paste board coffin on his door inscribed
Radicals must de- and that his two clerks
received letter advising them to leave his
employ, but it is also in evidence that Duck
worth is not dead, that his two clerks didn't
leave and that they have suffered no vio-
lence whatever, so that it all resolves itself
into the silly threats of thoughtless people
who have injured nobody.
Duckworth testified that when the com.
mittees waited on him he treated with them
as his friends, feared no INJURY at their
hands, and was not threatened by them.
HIS RESIGNATION.
He signed the resignation, he said, before
he thought what he was doing, and did it
because he Thought ID would make things
more quiet and peaceable in the community
When he subsequently got possession:of the
resig gnation aud tore it up, he was still not
threatened with violence, and regarded the
committee Of three who waited ON him as
his personal friends. There has unques-
tionably been a technical violation of the
United States statute in reference to intim-
dation by words or threats, but it has re-
suited in injury to nobody.
Not a single person has been
hurt or assaulted. The community Is keep
ing the even the tenor Of its way, the newly
appointed postmaster is In quiet possession
Of his office, and it Is highly probable that
the government will never bring the case to
trial In tho higher court. Tho attorney,
marshals and all interested have returned
to their homes.
