BALKAN TROUBLES
The Porte Must Suppress the Dis
orders or Hear From the Pow ers.

Lord Salisbury has been compelled
by the continued reports OF Moslem
outrages In Armenia to send vigor-
Gus warning to the Turkish govern
ment. He is mainly responsible for
keeping that country under Turkish
rule, Loris Malikoff, the Armenian
general in Russia's services having
practically driven out the Turks at
the close of the last war. Salisbury
is the father of the Armenian conven-
lion, which provides 70. the inlerven-
ton Of the great powers in case OF the
failure OF the porte 10 maintain order.
This Intervention, he now warns the
sultan's government, will have 10 be
resorted to il Turkey should be unable
to suppress the disorders which now
prevail. In the meantime murder
and rapine reign in Erzeroum. The
Christians are fleeing for their lives
and Russia is massing troops on the
frontier ready TO cross at short notice.
Ominous news also comes from Bull
garia, which appears to be on the
verge OF insurrection. Prince Ferdi-
nand is enjoying himself in Vienna,
and the belief is daily growing that
he will never return TO Sofia. The
sultan has summoned the grand coun-
ell to consider the threatening aspect
of affairs, but he is powerless to do
anything but utter feeble protests. To
add to his troubles, the Greek Pat
riarch threatens to resign unless the
Bulgarian Christians 10 Roumelia are
granted full liberty OF conscience.

Orchard

A double murder took place nine
miles west of Peach Orchard, Ark.
One Sturns shot and killed V. Timm 8
aud woman thai went by the name Of
''Pit." Sturns accused the woman OF
opening his trunk, and blows passed
between them. The woman told
Tlmms OF the trouble and they started
TO the house to punish Sturns. The
latter made very little resistance, and
the trouble would have ended here had
Timms not attempted to chastise
Sturns' younger brother and nged
mother. When Timms struck Sturns'
mother, 1t aroused the anger OF young
Sturns beyond control and seizing a
Winchester rifle, he shot Timms
through the base OF the neck. Timms
wrencheG the rifle from Sturns and
shot at him twice. but was too weak
to aim true. Sturns ran into the house
and seeing a shot gun grabbed it and
started to run again, and In lodging
around the house he came upon the
woman, and 1t Is supposed shot her,
as q gunshot was heard. When other
parties rushed to the scene OF the
trouble the woman was found to be
dead, having been shot In the side.
Timms wits found few feet from the
woman drenched in blood. Sturns has
been arrested and Is now In Jail.

HYDROPHoBIA IN CATTLE
One Hundred and Thirty Five Head
Qnarantined Near Villisca.

The state veterinary surgeon has
ordered 1875 head OF cattle, owned by
Mr.. McNutt, who lives on the Beal
farm, Taylor county, quarantined, as
twenty head have already died OF
hydrophobia. Another fence has been
built around the lot in which the cat
tie are confined and the dead cattle
burned. A mad dog bit two hogs AZ
the Carlisle place near there a few
days ago, and was not killed. One OF
the hogs went mad and died. There
is no knowing how many animals this
dog may have bitten. Assistant State
Veterinary Surgeon Stewart, who
visited the scene, said: "Yes. was
informed that there were several head
OF cattle near Villisca afflicted with

REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Major Andres Sword Found in a
New York Suburb.

Henry Reipe, who keeps boat
house and fishermens' resort on the
Passaic river at Avondale. N. Y,
while hoeing among his vines a few
days ago, came upon long, narrow
piece OF rusted metal. After cleaning
off the gravel, dirt and mold, he saw
that he had an officers sword of revo-
lutionary pattern. The sword was of
the regulation size and had an old
fashioned English handle. II was
stuck almost fast in a metal scabbord:
Excepting about six inches just below
the hill it was in perfect condition.
Reipe polished it with cleaning pow
der and was rewarded for his pains by
the discovery OF this inscription in old
English letters on the blade: major
John Andre" There Is no other let
ter or mark on the sword. Major
Andre is said to have traversed all the
ground In the neighborhood OF Reipe's
place, so II Is thought there is little
doubt that the old sword once swung
at his side. Reipe says the sword lay
about one foot under the surface and
sixty feet from the river shore.

Queer Franks OF Mark Twain.

Whenever Mark Twain has largs
dinner party ut his home In Hartford,
says the N Y. Commercial advertiser.
particularly when he has any English
men for guests, he Is In the habit, II *
said of rising Mt what he considers the
proper moment, without any warning
or explanation, and beginning set
speech Of humorous kind. He usu-
ally occupies from fifteen to twenty
minutes, aud does his best TO enter
tain and tickle his auditors. Some.
times his efforts, always premeditated
aud carefully prepared are highly sue
cessful; sometimes they are not.
Humor cannot be fabricated to order.
But they are inyarlbly laughed nj, Of

OF common politencss that they should

al; and this is unquestiouably original.
No man that ] have ever heard Of.
either here or abroad, regularly makes
formal speeches ut his own table, espo-
cially without premouilion. Twain
evidently thinks he has reputation TO
sustain and he sustains IL In the extra.
ordinary manner described He might
be funny IL he chose. while keeping
his seat; the position would not mar
his fun. But that would not be sufli-
cicutly emphatic to suit him, so he pre-
fcrs TO impress his guests with full
consciousness OF his premeditated de-
termination to do something worthy Of
the occasion. II may DO that he is
thus seeking to advertise himself by his
post-prandial harangues-a disposition
with which he Is sometimes credited.
Doing the thing in that way is in itself
so comical that he could not hope. how
ever prcposterous his jests might bs.
to say anything half so good.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Horrible Death of a wealthy Ken.
tucky Farmer.

Bernard Clifford, a wealthy farmer
near Lagrange, Ky, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed. He was
just going ipto his stable with his lit
tic stepson, Willie Smith, when the
light was seen 10 envelop him and the
crash was heard. The current struck
him just over the left ear, burned a
hole through his head, glanced down
the left arm, tearing the flesh from the
bones. In twinkling it was done.
and the unfortunate victim suffered no
pain. His stomach was frightfully
INITIATED and was literally burned
out. Besides this every stitch OF
clothing was torn TO shreds aud the
shoes were wrenched from the bloody
feet. The boy was knocked down by
the shock, but he managed TO rise,
and he had been on his feet again but
n moment when another current struck
him. This rendered him insensitle
and he lay in semLconscious state
for over one hour.

STORY OF A GIRLS CRIME
After Three Years she is Hunted
Down ana Arrested.

Leda La Montague, handsome
young French Canadian girl, was ar
rested at road house near Newton
junction. N. H., the other day. The
arrest was made by Superin endent
Cornish, OF the Boston Office OF Pinker-
tons detective agency, and it marks n
new stage in most extraordinary
tragedy. About two years and half
ago she married one Of her country
men. Napoleon Michel, and the couple
lived at Wolfstown, Quebec. Leda
had brother named Remi, OF whom
her husband seems to have been sus-
piclous. The result was family
bruil Matters ran on until the night
OF July Is, 1888, when RENT called Mt
his sisters house. Without any ap-
parent cause RENT shot Napoleon.
RENT then proceeded to cut the I'M
fortunate mans throat. Leda assisted
hor brother to drag the body back to
the house, and there they placed II
between two mattresses, setting these
on fire. Remi fled, while Leda went
to n neighbours house. Napoleon was
not as dead as the would be murderers
thought. for he revived enough 10
make his escape from the blazing
house, He crawled TO neighbor's,
named Boucher, aud there his wounds
were dressed. Leda In the meantime,
supposing that her husband had per-
ished with the burning OF tho house,
sought Boucher's family and told them
the sorrow that had befalien her In
the accidental destruction OF her home.
Mr.. Boucher did not tell her that her
husband was with him and that her
crime was known, but quietly had her
arrested. She told such plausible
story that the crown prosecutor ac-
quilted her OF murder and she left for
the States. RENT concluded that, as
his sister escaped, he could. The
Canadian government had offered ST.
900 for his arrest, and so he laid In
with a relative TO Inform the officers
OF his whereabouts, so the La Mon
tague family could get the reward, but
the police refused to release him, and
he will have to answer to the charge
OF murder and arson The Canadian
officials then began the hunt for Leda.
The Dominion officers hunted her for
more than year, but never n trace
OF her could they find. Finally they
traced her TO Newton Junction where
the urreSt was made.
