As the Archbishop was about to return 70 the

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22.--Reports re-
ceived here from TamboR and its adjacent
provinces announce that the Seemtvos have
provided for resolving Of land to furnish
supplies Of grain until January next. After
that date there will be the greatest difficulty

BAD BREAD.
An analysis OF the bread sold in many
places by unsorupulous merchants reveals
the fact that absolutely poisonous mixtures
are sold. Several merchants have been
arrested at Morshsusk, and will be summa-
rily tried. Many specimens Of such bread
consist Of 70 per cent. Of earth
and sard and 80 per cent. of
refuse farinaceous products. Among the
many conjectures regarding the causes of
the failure Of the crops it is suggested that
the drainage OF hundreds of versts of the
vast swamp of Pinsk resulted In fiooding
the Dnieper in the spring and the elowness of
water late in the summer. thus causing a
diminution in the rainfall iu the eastern
provinces. Almost all Of the government
officials have voluntarily contributed por-
ton of their 8alaries to the famine fund.

CHARLESTON, 8. c., Sept 22.-Mrs. p.
N. Gorse, a weI-known and popular lady
of this city, committed suicide to-day by
hanging herself in the kitchen of her niece's
house on Pitt street. Mrs. Gorse was IN
happy in her marital relations with her
husband, and on July last they agreed to
a separation. Mr.. Gorse went to a North
Carolina resort for the summer and is still
absent from the city, while his wife went
to live with her niece on Pitt street. Mrs.
Gorse, who was about 40 years Of age, was
greatly affected by her separation from
her husband. and continued to brood
over her troubles, despite the efforts
of her friends to convince her that she was
not SO unfortunate as she thought herself.
Yesterday afternoon she was missed by nsr
niece from her room, and, on searching the
house, her body was found in the kitchen
suspended by short piece of clothes-line,
one end Of which was tied about scautling
which runs along the wall. 1t was as de-
liberate and cody executed suicide as
ever occurred in this city. Mrs. Gorse was
worth between $40, 600 and $4,000.

a Survivor Accuses the Sailors of

LONDON. Sept. ga Dutch journalist,
who is one Of the survivors of the Italian
steamship Thoramina, recently sunk after a
collision off Cape Colournal, on the coast of
Greece, by the Greek steamship Thessalia,
has written letter in which he makes serl-
GUS charges against the Italian officers. lie
says that the Thoramina's crew, led by the
first officer, basely deserted the captain, and
that they clambered like rats on board of
the Thessslia. Only handful Of sailors,
the journalist adds, remained loyal, and
they were unable to lower the Thoraminas s
boats, which were filled with miscel-
laneous articles. and so securely
fixed and sheltered from the sea that it was
impossible to launch them. Continuing, he
says the passengers could not find any life
boats or life-saviug apparatus Of any kind,
aud he attributed the great loss of life,
to these defects. In conclusion he
comments strongly upon the we'll
known company to which the sunken
steamer belonged for sending q steamer 80

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Although there
have been several kilograms received from
Chile at the headquarters of the Chilean
congressional envoys in this city during the
past few days, none Of them make any spe-
cifc mention of the suicide of President
Balmacela on Saturday. One of them,
however, which came to hand this morn
ing, may have socle bearing upon it.
TINS was dated Santiago, Sept. 81
and was signed George Montt, president Of
the junta. 1t was very brief and simply
said. Tranquility prevails" Julie Foster,
who is assisting the ENJOYS here, and who
just now is in charge of their headquarters
in the absence Of Pedro Montt from the
city, is Of the opinion that the dispatch refers
to the condition of affairs in Chile after tie
death of ex-President Bhlmaceda and that
the reason why President Montt makes nc
meution OF the tragedy is because he as
sumes that it Is already very we'll known.
At late hour last night Acting Secretary
Wheaton received cablegrsm,from United

Milwaukee. Wis, on Aug. 26. the date of
Boyer's departure from Harrisburg. Do

CORRESPONDENT MADE PUBLIC.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept %. The Nc

which has been in the hands of District At
torney Graham for some ii me, and on W which
he sought to establish cases against
the SaaitAa.s Eeecral aud an ex-state
treasurer, WAS to>day made pub
lic and affords some interesting
reading. The authorities believe that the
letters show that there was colIrsion be-
tween McCamaut and Bardsley in procuring
rebates from certain newspapers for mer-
camille advertising. aud an arrangement be-
tween Livezey and Bardsley whereby the
public funds were allowed to remain unla W.
fully in the lsttsr's control until the interest
accounts could be closed by the various de-
positories. The correspondence was found
among the papers in the ex-city treasurers

ginning about one month aftsr he entered
upon his office, Feb. 2, 1889, continues until
Sept. 25, 1890. A accompanying tho CORES
