Illustrations of the Immunity Which
 the Robbers Enjoy-A Recent De- scent Upon Q Frenchman.
 CoNsTANTrNoPLE, Aug. 10.-The recent
 spasmodic attempt of the Turkish govern
 ment to suppress brigandage in Turkey
 and in the provinces under Turkish juris-
 diction has resulted as have its other at
 tempts in complete failure. Another illus
 tration of the immunity which these rob
 bers enjoy while pursuing their vocation in the dominions of the sultan has just been given near the scene of the recent robbery of the Oriental express at Tchers- skoi, between this city and Adrianople. The brigands recently made descent from their strongholds in the mountains and kidnapped Frenchman, named Ray mond, who cultivated @ farm near the Cheresskoi, and another man, named Ruff fic, who was employed by Raymond as an overseer. The two men made 8 desperate resistance before they yielded to the brigands, and in the struggle both Of them were severely injured. They were carried off by their captors to the mountains, where the amount of mon ey which they must pay for their ransoms of the band had settled this matter they dispatched Rufic to Constantinople with letter to the count of Montebello, French to Turkey, demanding the sum of S23, 900 for the release of their prison CTS. The letter stated that in the event of a refusal to pay the money Raymond, who was still held by them as hostage for the return of Ruffic, would be shot. The count of Montebello immediately demand ed an interview with the sultan and represented to his majesty that the Turkish government must take such measures as would secure the release of Raymond.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM.

Dastardly Attempt to Burn Big
 J.-The Fire Discovered by a Milk-
 man-Fright of the Tenants.
 HoBoKEN, August 10.-A dastardly at tempt to burn big tenement house was made in this city this morning. Ten families were compelled to flee for their lives and there were some miraculous es- capes. It was 4:30 o'clock when a milk man passing by 212 Park avenue, five story tenement house, saw smoke coming from the basement. He lost no time in giving an alarm and squad of police was soon on the scene. In the mean time the commotion had awakened the tenants and the greatest excitement pre- vailed.
 Women appeared at the windows of the upper floors and their screams were awful to hear, The fremen did heroic work. Ladders were raised to the win dows and women and children were hur- ried down. While a fireman was carrying woman down ladder, the ladder snapped, they fell almost ten feet and were badly hurt.
 After everybody had been taken safely out of the building the firemen had the fire very soon under control. Captain Hayes then began an investigation, and he says there is no doubt that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The woodwork in the cellar, where the fire originated, was saturated with kerosene oil. This is the third time that the house has been on fire It is only a week ago that mattress sat urated with kerosene oil was found blaz | ing in the cellar.

NEW ENGLAND CROPS.

The Hot Weather Too Late 10 do
 More Rain-Reports of the Situa- tion in Other States-Massachuse setts
 Reports Favorable.
 BOSTON, August 10.-The effect of the recent dry and cool weather on New England crops has not been very favor able. It is, however, too late in the season to greatly damage the crop as a whole.
 Potatoes are about made and are turning out very well. Tobacco is promising and will doubtless be satisfactory unless in- jured by early frosts. Cranberries will give an average yield. Other berries are plentiful and good.
 The hay has all been secured and in good order. In Kennebec county the crops will average 92 per cent. in quantity and 100 per cent. in qality.
 New Hampshire reports the potatoes and peas light crop and that corn and grain need rain. Harvesting has begun in some places.
 Massachusetts observers mostly send fa- vorsble reports, but higher temperature is desired.
 Rhode Island reports but little advance ment in crops during the past week.
 In Connecticut rain is badly needed. The soil is getting very dry, the springs and brooks are running very low and grass getting yellowish and poor. Apples will average short; grass fine, but not very plentiful; peaches very good general rains and warm weather are now needed to round out the crop season of New Eng land.

 LONDON, Aug 9.-Startling information is in possession of the Chilian legation in reference to a conspiracy to destroy the two Chilian ironclads, President Pinto and Errazuriz. It appears that the sum of 5000 pounds was offered to an English maritime officer, in the service of the Chilian government, if he would undertake to blow up the ErrAz- uriz. He refused the offer with indigna- ton. While the weasel was in the harbor of Lisbon suspicious boats were seen ap- preaching on several occasions at night. but the careful lookout on the vessel kept

 The Principals a White Man and n
 Negro.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 10.-A des- perate duel to the death took place Satur- day at Norfolk Landing, news of which reached this city late last night. The principals were D. B. Wall, who managed R. H. Shaw's plantation, and a negro named Reed, who had been working on the place. MT. Wall and Reed had a dispute about the length of time the negro had worked and failing to agree Reed shot Wall in the right side, mortally wounding him. But Wall was game. He emptied his revolver at the negro, then reloaded and was preparing to fire again when he fell dead. The negro went to earth at the same instant, one of the balls from Walls pistol having passed. through his body.

Thirty Cases of PrOstratiOn Reported to the PoIfce-Seyeral Fatal Cases

to tne fOhce-SeVeral Fata1 cases.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The highest ther- mometrical reading to-day was 98. At this hour the heat is still intense, and in the tenement house districts the population is all in the streets or on the house tops. Thirty cases of prostration from heat were reported to the police, and the ambulances of the different hospitals were kept busy carrying persons of all ages and sexes to those institutions. Three persons died on the streets before assistance could reach them, but this is only small fraction of those who died from the effects of the heat. It is estimated that at least fifty persons who were sick and weak had their deaths hastened by the hot wave.
 PLAINFIELD, Conn.,, Aug. 10.-To-day has been one of the hottest in years and the drouth is something startling. All late crops are burning up in the ground and early ones have ripened so quickly that they are badly dwarfed. The rivers, ponds and other millstreams are lower than for years. Ashland, Jewett City, Clay vile, Elmville, Central Village and other places have been compelled to stop their mills for want of water. All through the valley of the Yantic, Quinnebaugh and Shetucket river mills are idle. Pachaug. Lake, that covers Ii ,000, is nearly dry and unless rain soon comes the loss to crops and in wages will be great.

 While the Presidente Pinto was at Ton
 Ion, e party of men attempted to join the
 crew. They looked SO unlike ordinAry
 sailors, two of them being unable to con ceal their refinement of manner, that sus- picion was aroused, and the commander concluded to reject them, although in need of men. Proof afterward came to his knowledge that these men had been engaged to sink the ship. There is also reason to believe that the running aground at Toulon was owing to tresch- cry. The commander was so convinced of this that he sent 6 report to that effect to Paris. The Errazuriz is already safe as sea, and it is understood that the Pinto will soon be in a position to follow, and that their arrival in Chilli will put an end to the revolution.
 The German pioneers in East Africa are said to be disgusted, and anxious for an opportunity to return home They cannot stand the heat and miasma of the coast lands, while they are reluctant to pene- trate to the interior without more military protection and means of com munication than now exists. The earnest purpose of the German East Africa com pany in Germany is not shared by its rep resentatives in Africa and those who were so enthusiastic to volunteer seem equally desirous to go home.
 The ancient and unusual ceremony of reconciliation has been performed in & London church for the second time within few months, although it had not been performed before for many years. The first case was that of a man who shot himself during service in St. Pauls Cathedral. The church was purified, or reconciled, which is the ecclesiastical word. The second case of reconciliation was two days ago. A poor tramp, as if in rebuke to the quality of Christianity which he had met in London, hung himself in the porch of the parish church of St. Ethel burgs, Bishopsgate street. When found by the sexton, the tramp was dead. His death being assumed to have polluted the edifice. the bishop of London held the quaint reconciliation service, the tramp meanwhile having been buried with the paupers. Many members of the Church of England have protested against the ser vice, as savoring too much of the middle ages.

EVANSVILLE, Md, Aug. 10.-The col ored camp meeting here was the scene of a bloody fight yesterday while the crowd was waiting for the evening train to con- vey them to their homes. A party of ne- groes engaged in dispute over some ci- gars, and Louis Brown of Richmond, Va., threw stone at one of his companions, cutting an ugly gash in his head. This caused the rest of the gang to draw re- volvers and razors, and after half dozen shots were fired it was found that Brown was killed and three of his companions seriously wounded.

 LONDON, Aug. 10.-The St. James Ga zette takes very gloomy view of the con- dition of British trade and to-day there appears in its columns an article comment ing in pessimistic manner upon the out look for the manufacturing and other in dustries of Great Britain. It says: "Judg- ing from the returns issued by the board of trade it looks as though we have already reached the end of good times. The great decline in the exports from Great Britain is undoubtedly due to the operation of the Mckinley law in the United States. We have been told that that act would eventually prove a real misfortune to the United States, but its immediate object was to hit foreign manu- lecturers, especially those of Great Brit ain, and it is plainly evident that this ob- feet has been stationed n

 ST. PETERSBURG, August 10.-The grave situation created by the failure of the crops in Russia is causing the great est apprehension in all circles. The Grashdanin declares that the local ad- ministrations will be unable to make provision for the inhabitants of the dis tressed provinces by drawing upon the surplus of other provinces if spectators are allowed to export corn, or if the ar tifcisl rise in the price of corn is not checked. The paper demands that the government immediately place heavy export duty on rye. The Financial Mes senger declares that it will be almost impossible for Russia to export corn this year.

BLOODY MEXICAN DUEL.
Two Officers Fight With Swords Near Piedad - Colonel Manuel Blanco
 VanQufshed and Badly Wounded

vanquished and Badly Wounded
 by Colonel Francisco Nevoa-Arrest
 and Military Discipline to Follow.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-Advices from the City of Mexico say that duel was fought at Piedad, near there, on Thursday, be- tween colonels Francisco Nevoa and Man uel Blanco. The duel was brought about by dispute, the two colonels using Ian guage to each other of the harshest nature.
 Nevoa had for his seconds General Flores and Colonel Rodrigo Valdes, and Blanco was supported by Deputies Francisco Rom gro, celebrated duelist, and Antonio To- var, the author of the duelling code of Mexico. The arms chosen were swords, and, according to report, it was to be a duel to the death.
 The assaults after the signal for attack was given were ten. Blanco was wounded in the right, again in the throat and was laid out by thrust in the liver. He did not give up until he was so weak that he could not stand up, when the seconds or dered the duel to come to 8 close. Nevoa had several slight scratches.
 In view of the fact that President Dia2 forbade duelling in the army by special decree some months ago, it is probable | that the colonels will be placed under ar rest and punished.

The Princes Who Took Part in the
 Outrage Condemned to Dfe-The
 Decision of the Senaputty Com
 6rmed.
 S1MLA, Aug. 10.-The Marquis of Lans- downe, viceroy of India, has rendered his decision on the appeal of the Manipuri princes who were condemned to death for the part they took in the massacre of Chief Commissioner Quinton, political agent at Grimwood and other British civil and mil itary officers at Manipur in March last, the technical charge on which they were con- victed being that they had waged war against the queen and had abetted murder. The accused were tried by a military court of inquiry. The sentences of the sena- putty, brother of the regent of Manipuri and commander-in-chiefo of the Manipuri army, and the Tongal general, who gave the order for the massacre, have been con frmed by the viceroy and they will be ex- ecuted. In the cases of the regent and Prince Angao, Sena, the younger sena- putty, the viceroy has commuted the sen tences of death to transportation for life and the forfeiture of their property.
 Several of the manipuris and one ex- British Sepoy who took a prominent part in the massacre have already been exc cuted.

to make its standing solid and sure.
Mrs. Gibbons was one of the first found
