men, and the police were sent for He told q
story to the effect that he had been sleeping on
the floor down stairs, but was awakened by
smoke and ran up stairs to extinguish the
flames 1t was then, he said, that he first dis
covered the dead bodies of his wife and two
children. The police, however, have a
different idea of the crime, and at once
placed Smaus under arrest. They were con-
fdent triple murder had been committed
and say that the murderer set fire to the
house to conceal the crime. Smaus is a
laborer, thirty-ve years of age, and ap-
parently very ignorant.
The family consisted of four children and
the parents. A boy, eight years old, and a
thirteen-Weeks' sold infant were uniniured,
but were left in the building after it had
the miserable quarters about three years.
Quarrels have been SO frequent that the
neighbors gave them little attention.
On the floor were two hammers covered
with blood, broken lamp, and blood on
nearly every piece of furniture and every
foot of the floor. The room was il terrible
disorder, showing that a desperate battle
took place between the murderer and Mrs.
Smaus.
1t is reported that the boy told the police
that his father killed his mother. ''He hit
her onthe head three times with the hatchet,"
sobbed the little fellow. Neighbors think
jealousy was the cause of the deed.

A FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY:
Forty Miles Square of Asiatic Turkey
Torn Up by an Earthquake.

Milo A. Jewett, United States Consul at
Sivas, Turkey, reports to the State Depart
ment that he had just returned from visit
to the almost inaccessible district in Asiatic
Turkey which was devastated by an earth
quake three months ago. and he tells of suf-
fering almost unprecedented.
The effects of the disturbance, he says,
were confined to a mountainous territory
about forty miles square OF which Malatia
and ALBANIAN are the principal villages.
Two thousand houses were entirely ruined,
5000 others were rendered unfit for habita-
ton. 913 people were killed and much
greater number wounded. and 300 cattle.
horses, sheep and goats persisted.
Weeks of severe suffering have followed
the catastrophe. aggravated In that noun
famous country by snow and rain. A result
of the exposure has been the death of large
number of children.
The Turkish Government sent army tents
and issued daily rations of bread to the
stricken people, and the Sultan sent pecuni-
airy assistance. The suffering is by no means
ended. as the loss of human life and of work
ing cattle will prevent the reaping of reason
able crops.
