Mr.. SCOTS Views of Heaven.

A glimpse of heaven is rare If not IN.
heard of privilege, yet John A. Scott, .
we'll known and reliable old Philadelphia
who resides at 2427 North Seventh street,
claims to have enjoyed that extraordinary
distinction.
Two years ago Mr.. Scott was so III that
the doctors and bis family had given up
all hope Of his recovery. The night on
which the grim reaper was expected the
old man fell into trance, and all felt the
end had come 1t was during this tenn
porary lapse Of life that Mr.. Scott found
himself ascending a grand marble stair
way leading to the gates of heaven There
he found St Peter and begged to be adj
mitted The venerable gatekeeper refused,
but the eager supplicant mentioned a
number of high church dignitaries with
whom he was acquainted on earth and
claimed they were particular friends OF
his Peter finally admitted him for a
short stroll through paradise. Mr.. Scott
says everything was golden hued and sur
passingly beautiful. There were myriads
Of angels fitting through the air, enjoy
ing siesta on the glittering highways or
disporting in a crystal lake There was
not man among them. While Mr.. Scott
was contemplating this startling condition
of celestial affairs st. Peter tapped him
gently on the shoulder and told him his
time was up Mr.. Scott was so charmed
with the interior beauty Of heaven that he
backed slowly away from the gate and fell
down to the bottom OF the big stairway.
The next day he was convalescent.-

MAN WHO 1NvEN led SCOOPS.
He Had no Telegraph But He Arrived Not
outstanding.

New York, Jan. Sc. S. Craig, who
died early this morning, at the age of
18, was the originator of the fast
news service in the United States-a
field in which his efforts antedate the
introduction of the electric telegraph
by few years. The medium Of COM
munication he employed in those days
was carrier pigeons. At first his oper-
atoms were between New York and Bos
ton and later between Boston and Hal
flax. At first he was engaged upon his
own account but later, in 1S47, he enter
ed into an arrangement with Williram
Swain and a. S. Bell, joint proprietors
of the Philadelphia Ledger and Balti-
more Sun which by degrees developed
into the Associated Press. Just prior to
engaging in this service Mr.. Craig had
been associated with T. o. J. Smith and
the rivalries of the two men constitute
an interesting chapter in the history
of news gathering. 1t is related of him
that one occasion when his rival, back
ed by Boston and New York papers,
had chartered a steamer to express
European news from Halifax to Bos-
ton, Craig travelled overland TO Hall
fax, taking some carrier pigeons with
him in a basket. At Halifax he took
passage on the steamer Inward, bound
from Europe, and when it was within
safe distance of the Massachusetts
coast he let loose his pigeons freighted
with the cream of the news from the
old world. They beat the chartered
steamer to land and the newspapers
served by Craig were nabled to score
"a beat" upon their rivals. This sue
cess so added to the prestige Of Mr..
Craig that the opposition papers gave
up their chartering of steamers and
left the field in the undisputed possess
ion of Mr.. Craig.

HAMPTON IS FREE
BUCHWALTER DECIDES FOB THE
PRISONERS SAFETY.
Finds Both Indictment and Requisition De
Broader Ground of Moral Duty, as He
Sees 1t. to Save Hampton From a Violent
In Which Lynching Followed--Decision
Draws q Large Crowd Owing to the
Great Interest in the Case.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 5.-Judge Buch-
walter today delivered an elaborate
opinion in the case Of the extradition
of the Rev. A S. Hampton, colored,
demanded by Kentucky for shooting
and wounding Mr.. Durham in Green
county. When Hampton was first be-
fore the court the court refused to de-
liver him unless he had assurances
from the governor of Kentucky and
from the judge Of the trial court that
Hampton would be protected from mob
violence and that he would be given
a fair trial The court said no such
assurances had been received He
found both the indictment and the
requisition defective in form, but on
the broader ground Of securing the
rights Of the prisoner, the court held
that he was justified in refusing TO
surrender Hampton. The -presump
ton that he would die without legal
process if sent back had not been re-
butted by proof of any kind.
The court cited statistics OF nineteen
lynchings in Kentucky within a COM
paratively short time and recalled the
fact that one Of the victims had been
surrendered by this court. The court
felt the obligation to perform a moral
duty in this case which could not be
enforced by mandamus or other pro-
ceedings. He was willing to remand
the prisoner upon proper indictment
and requisition If the governor or other
authorities had provided force to pro-
tect him from violence and insure an
impartial trial. This had not been
done and the court felt bound TO dis
charge the prisoner. So much inter-
est was taken in the case that other
judges left their benches to listen to
the delivery of the courts decision.

THIS IS ANOTHER STORY.
Turkey Gives Fresh Symptoms of Being
Vulnerable to Public Opinion.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The following
official telegram was received at the
Turkish legation in this city dated Con-
stantinopie:
Certain newspapers have maintained
lately that the number Of Armenians
IN Turkey reaches many millions and
that they are badly treated. Both as
sertions are false. According to relia-
HE statistics the Armenians living in
Turkey are little over 800 600 of whom
zoe 400 are established in Constantine
pie itself. Those of the Armenians who
reside in the provinces are distributed
ali over the country so that nowhere
90 they constitute the majority Of the
popula ton. The fact is acknowledged
oven by Turkeys detractors. That the
ottoman Armenians have schools and
y literature not only proves that they
are not exposed to veXatious reatment
but that. on the contrary, the Turkish
government favors their institutions,
wishes them TO preserve their language
and nationality and has secured their
well being.

London, Jan. 5.-Prof. Minas, editor

has received the following advices from
Armenian sources:
Zekki Pasha, commander of the 4th
army corps, has had given to him the
medal of husbandry.
Chendi, a Kurdish brigand at Bog
hazkezen. ordered an Armenian named
.Apcar to be killed for protesting against
Chendi's misdeeds.

i2as at Daghvergan, one at Armition
ard another at Keuchar.
The number of men, women and chill
dren who were cut down by sabres or
bayonetted in eleven villages of the
Sassoun district was 80.
It is now proved that the people from
the Sassoun district, who, during the
retreat TO Mount Andoka, fought brave
ly for nineteen days and who gave
themselves up TO the enemy on Aug. II,
were deceived by the proclamation of
Zekki Pasha promising them amnesty.
The Turks then outraged the women
and starved and tortured them for three
days. Sixty young men We're finally
killed by the sword and their bodies
were thrown into a well.
The villages OF Shenik and Gleigou-
zan have been burned to ashes with
their four churches. Thirty-three
other villages have been sacked and
destroyed.
Khokoko, mayor of Agphi, his broth

The Turks blinded Priest Ohanes Of

did so while chanting Praise the

pieces with a sword.
