MISSIONARIES IN DANGER.
The House Of an American in the Prov
inoe Of Konia Burned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The secretary
Of state yesterday received cablegram
from the United States charge d'affaires
at Constantinople informing him that
the house Of DR.. Bartlett, an American
missionary at Bourdou-, province Of
Konia, Asia Minor, has been burned,
and that the lives of the missionaries
are in danger. He believes that il
prompt action is not taken the mission
ary cause and the lives of the mission
aries will be in serious danger in other
places.
The building of DIR. Bartlett's resi-
dence was originally stopped by the
local authorities. On application being
made for permission to complete the
same, il was refused unless DR.. Bartlett
would furnish bond or guarantee to
neither hold religious worship nor in
struct children on the premises. The
legation applied to the sublime port
for such permission, claiming that the
treaty rights of Americans extended not
only to the purchase of land but to the
enjoyment of the same. The permit
which was finally granted by the sultan
and it appears that after the receipt of
this permit by the local authorities, the
mouse was burned.
Secretary Foster promptly cabled the
charge to make urgent demand for
effective protection, indemnity, punish
nent of the guilty parties and repri-
mand from the authorities. The United
States cruisers Newark and Bennington
now on their way to Genoa, will be
ordered to the vicinity of the outrage to
support this demand. Secretary of
State Foster said Inst NIGHT that tha
complaints Of infringement of treaty
rights of American missionaries in Tur-
key had been accommodating since 1883,
and one notable instance is that of the
outrage upon Rev. Mr.. Knapp and DIR.
Reynolds by Moussa Bey, in this same
province of Asia Minor. 1t had taken
seven years to secure the punishment
of the offenders, aud the United States
was now determined to see if American
citizens had any treaty rights which the
Turkish authorities are bound to respect.

Bake kettles to supplement the brich
ovens to this day are used on southern
plantations. These kettles or ovens are
placed upon the Goals in huge freplaces,
on the covers of which were put Goals
so that both top and bottom would bake
alike.
Johnnycake and shortcake were often
baked upon a beard tilted in front OF
the fire upon the hearth. The turning
of these cakes required a sleight of
hand trick incomprehensible to my
youth, but my mother always did it
deftly enough. Small tin bakers, closed
on three sides, were afterward sub
mitted for the johnnycake board.-Troy

BUYING WORTHLESS BONDS.
Iron Halls Money Put to Very Bad
Use. ..... .-

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-The investi-
cation OF the affairs of the Iron Hall
was resumed before Judge Taylor yes
tcrday morning, with Supreme Justice
Somerby still on the stand. His admls-
sions were important He stated that
when the Sl70,O0O was loaned to the
Philadelphia bank it was presumed by
the supreme officers to be individual
money of Supreme Cashier Davis, bnt
that all knew that it was Iron Hall
money and winked at the transaction.
The $S8,000 that was sent to Secretary
Hayes, at Philadelphia, to be invested,
he stated, had been invested in bonds of
the Mutual Bank. Under close ques-
tiouing and with reluctance he admitted
that the bonds were absolutely worth
less. He further admitted that he was
compelled to discharge his son-in-law,
McMeacham, supreme adjuster, in order
to gain the consent of Walker and Davis
for the loan of $l70,000 for the bank.
The plaintiffs produced documentary
evidence to show that 5000, 900 had been
drawn ostinsibly as Il loan to the bank
and receipted for, but that 100000 of
this amount was never accounted for.

Perhaps the most interesting war relic
in Maine is Union flag mado from the
undershirts of tho prisoners at Salisbury
prison. The prisoners had set day
upon which they intended to rise and
overpower the guards. The flag was to
be used as a rallying signal, But before
the day arrived orders came for them to
be exchanged. The flag was brought
homo by Lieutenant George B. Kennis-
ton, Of Boothbay, member of the Fifth
Maine, whose property the flag now is.

General Carnes Threatens to Shoot
Every One Down.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 20,-General
Carnes is monarch of all he surveys at
Coal Creek. He occupies meadow mid
way between the village and Fort An
derson. Passengers on the last train,
which left there at 8 o'clock, say that
he had taken about a hundred of the in
surgents prisoners, and is guarding
them near his camp. The garrison Mt
Fort Anderson has been increased to 2G0
m en-, and 100 picked men are guarding
the depot and railroad property.
Soon after his arrival he demanded
the release of Captain Anderson and
gave the the miners until l o'clock to
produce him. One o'clock came. 3
o'clock, passed by and the miners had
not turned over the captive. He then
ordered mis- men TO arrest men promis-
cuously, until 100 men had been taken
into custody. He addressed them as
follows: lyon promised to release
Captain Anderson at / o'clock. You
have broken faith with me. You shall
produce him in one hour or / will pro-
ceed to burn every house in town and
will shoot every one of you down."
In less than an hour committee sent
out for the purpose marched into camp
and surrendered the prisoner He i'm
mediately assumed command at Fort
Anderson. He had been concealed in u
little farm house on the outskirts Of the
village.
General Carnes has Bud Lindsey,
leader of the miners, under arrest at
Coal Creek. He is a deputy United
States marshal and thoroughly des-
perate character. He has killed several
men. 1t was he who proposed hanging
Captain Anderson yesterday, and was
only prevented by his brother, who is u
good citizen and postmaster at Coal
Creek.

the dead and wounded into Coal Creek
under flag of truce.
The miners were the first to retreat
when the firing commenced in earnest.
Large numbers of them rushed down
the valley into the village and right into
the hands of General Carnes. The third
man reported killed is causing some
talk. Many of the soldiers say they are
sure three men fell and General Carnes
reports it officially. A soldier who
walked nearly all the way from Coal
Creek says man in citizens clothes,
who was on the edge of n precipice near
him when the firing commenced, was
struck by bullet and fell headlong to
the stones some twenty feet below. He
is sure the man WAS killed.
Walthall, ono of the men killed, went
to the front of the column without a
gun. A coroner's inquest was held over
the bodies of Walthall and Givens as
soon as they arrived here. The jury de-
cided that the deceased came to their
death at the hands of parties engaged
In lawless attempt to take Fort An
derson. Walthall's body was shipped
to Abingdon, Va, last night.
