A RELIGIOUS SACRIFICE
Great Excitement Prevailing
at Adrianople
Over the Alleged Murder Of a
Greek Girl.
Hebrews Accused of Strang-
ling the Child.

ADRIANoPLE, July 24.-Great excite
ment prevails here over the tragic events
growing out of an accusation that Jewish
butchers killed a Greek child at a religious
sacrifice. The governor of Roumelia has
proclaimed the district under military law,
fearing that otherwise the inhabitants
would rise against the Jewn. The alleged
murder occurred at the village of
Mustapha, Pasha, about twenty miles
from this city. The corpse OF a Greek
girl, s years of age, was found in the
rcer and doctors declared that she had not
been drowned but strangeld and thrown
into the water. All the butchers in the
place were Spanish Hebrews. except one,
a Greek named S%tetanos, who swore that
the girl had been strangled in
the manner of Jewish blood
offerings. and that the murder was
undoubtedly a religious one. In the
midst OF the excitement Stefanos sud-
denly disappeared. and later his corpse
was found In a sack on the bank OF the
river. the body being covered with stall BIS.
Suspicion fell upon the men whom Ste
fanos had accused, and FIVE of the Spanish
butchers and two of their apprentices
were arrested. One apprentice, a lad
named Gianui. confessed that the five
prisoners had murdered Stefanos and
paid him (Gianui) to carry the body to
the river. The mystery of the girls
death is vet unsolved.

ST. LOUIS. July 24.-George Ross met
a horrible death yesterday. His employer
sent him out to drive a stray horse from
the yard adjoining the residence. When
Ross approached the horse it rushed at
him and bit him in the forehead and
cheek. Ross started to run across the
field and the horse pursuing him knocked
him down and attempted to trample on
him. Ross succeeded again in getting out
of the way and jumping to his feet tried
to escape. The horse. however, pursued
him and bit his shoulder. tearing a large
piece of flesh from it. The man screamed
in agony and the attention of a negro who
was passing was attracted by it. He
instantly jumped the fence ana picking
up a piece of rail started toward the man
and beast on a run. Before he could
reach the man the horse had knocked
Ross to the ground and this time struck
him on the head with his hoof. instantly
killing him. Just at this juncture the
negro arrived on the spot, but tripped
over the rail and fell to the ground,
striking his head on a stone and was
rendered unconscious. The horse paid no
attention to the negro, who. after the
Infatuated beast had been shot, was
brought to unInjured. Ross body was
~shockingly bruised and bis whole right
cheek torn out, his shoulder gone, his
head crushed in like an egg shell and the
brains scattered about on the ground,

The memory of their joint past GER
tainly ought to have brought Bismarck
to h bier of Moltke, apart altogether
from personal feeling. Of that. in the
sense of friendship, there was not much
between the two men. Often their re-
lations were very much strained, and
there was n period at Versailles when
they were not on speaking terms, and
communicated by letter. The king and
Moltke habitually thought together.
Bismarck often differed from them, and
when he put down his foot he was the
master man. Wilhelm and his general
were set on entering Vienna after KONG
gratz, but Bismarck overruled them,
and concluded the convention of Nikols-
burg.
They were keen to go to war with
France then, because of her oficious in
~terposition and heated threats; indeed,
the order went to Room to mobilize
$50, 900 fresh troops. Zone at a time"
was Bismarck's fat, and he prevailed.
Again in 1857 he OVERRIDE the joint ca
gerness of monarch and general to have
it out with France. When it was neces-
sary, as on the night of Sedan, when
poor Wimpfen was the toad under the
harrow which the pair dragged back
ward and forward, Moltke and Bis
marck joined hands. Busch's book
is full of expressions of irritation
against Moltke on Bismarck's part dur
ing the Versailles period, and the latter
never forgot nor forgave Wilhelm's
words to Moltke in the Galerie des
Glaces, that to him he owed the i'm
perial dignity. World.

He says there are numerous pockets dis

by a volcanic upheaval of the lower strata,
throwing the gold mineral to the surface.
The excessive heat melted the gold, causing
1t to flow over the ground like a stream of
lava. He states that this district, which
is near Bluefields. is destined to become
as celebrated as the bonarza mines OF
California. He Is about to send ll2 ibres
of gold to the United States mint to be
