Christians of Different sects Come TO
Blows In the Grotto.
LONDON, July eO.-The decision Of the
sultan to station a larger guard at the
grotto at Bethlehem, owing TO the large
number Of deaths which have occurred
there through the frequent fights between
Greeks and Catholics for possession OF
control Of that sacred spot, has created a
feeling OF disgust in the more civilized
countries The disputes, which have in
so many cases ended so fatally have hor-
rified the Turkish authorities, who cannot
understand the feeling which should actu-
ate two Christian sects TO deeds Of yio-
lence for the possession Of sacred spot to
which neither has any right that is recog
nized by any laws or treaties extant
One OF the strict obseryances Of the holy
place is the rigid requirement that any
person who enters shall do so in his bare
feet Recently Greek seeking entrance
removed his shoes, but neglected to take
Off his stockings.
This sacrilege so shocked Catholic de
votee that he drew a knife and attacked
the Greek, who ia the ensuing fight was
killed There have since been a number
OF sanguinary encounters, and the warfare
has grown so fierce that the Mohammedan
sultan has found himself at last compelled
to station guard at the grotto sufficiently
strong TO keep the Christian wranglers
from further deseerating the place they
I both profess 10 hold sacred.

NRw YORK, July 70 --Ex- Governor Wal
Ter came to New York last night by the II
o'clock train and reached the Gilsey
House at just midnight. He met his son,
Martin B., at the Grand Central station,
and the latter took the midnight train for
New London with his brother Tracy.
Martin B. Waller is the secretary and
treasurer Of the Long Island Brick COM
pany, Of Greenport, and it was reported In
yesterdays newspapers that he had disap-

that nothing was known of his wherea-
bouts, that an expert accountant was go

ports that a deficiency had been disoov-

ward.
GAS soon rs my son awoke in the morn
ing and found himself famous he tele-
graphed home, denying the sensational
story absolutely. There it not a word Of
truth in it. The most serious harm the
publication effected was IN the mention Of
the daughter OF President Sage, an intelli-
gent and sensitive young lady, who ought
not to have been made to suffer"
Cruel and Ridiculous story.
Earlier in the day Mr. Waller said at
New London:
Il am very much mortified that such a
cruel and ridiculous story should have OBJ
tained circulation, and especially SO since
my sons apparently inexcusable careless
ness has probably been the cause OF IL. He
has been absent for an unusually long
time on the business Of the company with
out reporting regularly, but not so long rs
IS stated In four weeks he has wired the
company four times, and on Saturday
evening he sent from East New York a
telegram announcing that he would be at
the Office OF the company on Tuesday. My
son Martin is not defaulter for a cent
and the suggestion that there is woman

There Is no confirmation yet of tn,

after the sting the most excruciating pains
shot through his arm and both sides In
q moment the pains had penetrated even to
his liver, which was seriously affected.
DR.. Fitch cauterized the wound and ex-

doctor says that the tarantula's bite Is not
very dangerous except when il is in an ex-

bit Mr.. Pastime was in rather torpid con.

Central America he was bitten twenty
times. but he knew how to treat the stins
