"ARTs, March 2G.-Prompt vengeance
has fallen upon Ramiasatra. governor Of
the province of Bclanonc. Madagascar.
who, according to news received here on
March 1, massacred 27S persons, includ.
ing men, women and children. belonging
to the leading families. Dispatches Just
received here state that R-roiusatra. to-
gether with his brother, who is supposed
to have insugatsd the massacre, have
been executed on the spot where the
wholesale killing took place under the
cruel governor : direction.
The cause Of Ramiasatra s~angulnary
conduct originated in the fact that he
hercsly resented a petition from the pDpu
lace addressed to the government asking
protection from his repeated acts Of
cruelty. This so cnrarcd the governor
that he commenced to slaughter men.
women and children, aud continued so
doing for several days. 10 many eases
the aROnIes of the victims were pro-
tracted by the governors causing their
limbs to be gradually di-mcmbered,
their heads to be slowly sawed
off and by sdbiectiug them TO other acts
of torture. During the course Of the
massacre many OF the women who were
put to death were first outraged. In the
case OF all the victims their bodies were
thrown to the dogs.
In addition to these atrocities, the sur
vivors were compelled to erect n trophy
composed Of the heads Of the murdered
people upon a spot near the s3cnc of the

CAPTAIN F. L. NORTON sailed away
from New London for Toulon six months
ago in his "non-capsizable, unsuitable"
steam life boat and has not been heard
from since. His wife and niece and a
crew of eight men went with him, and
they had provisions for thirty. eight
days. The captain'swill has been fled
for probate. We cannot help feeling
sorry for the ladies who lost their Liver
by reason of their faith in this visionary
man, but for him we have no regrets
He was humbug and the astonishing
thing about him was the success with
which he humbugged other people. His
so called non-sinkable boat was con-
trivsnce which anybody could see was
exactly the opposite-the most sinkable
boat imaginable. Yet naval officers Of
ability were led to indorse it as good
thing and capitalists advanced large
sums to keep the captain" going.

Two OF Them Severely Handled by En-
ragged Coke strikers.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, May 20.-A mob Of
strikers kept the police busy all the af-
ternoon. First they chased a negro
"blackleg" named St. Clair to lynch him.
The fellow was rescued by Officer Gay.
Then they set after Ike Grassland, an
other "blackleg'' coker, to save whose
neck and hide it required the united eff
forts of the borough policemen and q
posse of citizens. Finding that Grassland
had been taken away through the back
yard of the Scottdale House, the mob
made q wild break for two deputy sheriffs
who have been doing duty at the Sum-
NIT Works. H. ~
These fellows they severely pounded
until the fire department scattered the
crowd by turning the hose on them. As
the blood, stained sheriffs were being car
ried away by policemen, the mob came
down on them again and gave them an
other clubbing. Both men are badly
used up. During the riot one of them
shot a striker named John Ghost, severe
ly wounding him. ,s5e

when Mr. Blaine left Washington that he
