Confirmed by Turkish Soldier.

The correspondent in Armenia of the
London Daily News has sent to that paper
a story told by Turkish soldier who took
part in the Sassoun outrages and who has
since quilted the army and fled across the
Russian border. His story confirms the
worst accounts of the outrages. He tells
how the Turks sent the Kurds to do the
rough work of burning the Armenian viii
lagos and numbering the inhabitants. 1t
was Turks. he adds, who cut off the fugi-
tives as they were trying to escape. De-
scribing the outrages in the village Of
Djellyegoosean, the scene of the pit mas
sacre." the Turk says that the two i'm
mense trenches were dug. and the soldiers
were told off into parties to butcher the in
habtants. For over a week one party or
another was marched at nightfall to the
trenches, where the soldiers were ordered
to bayonet or butcher patches of unarmed,
helpless ArmenianS.

Poor Starting Mt St. Asaph...

Those who attended the second days rae
Ing of the Virginia Jockey Club at the St.
Asaph's track yesterday experienced de-
cidedly wintry weather. 1t was cold and
raw. and several times snow f1urries passed
over The fields were small and probably
will be for several days yet, but the racing
was fairly Interesting, and as four favor
ties and a second choice won, the fifteen
bookmakers had a rather bad day of it,
While the work of Starter Fitzgerald on
Monday was as good as that of the high
priced wielders of the flag heretofore seen
here. yesterday it was just as bad. Mr..
Fitzgerald is evidently capable and of good
judgment, but he is seriously handicapped
by a timid or incompetent assistant, and no
starter, however able, can do fine work
without the assistance of courageous, en-
ergetic and competent assistant starter. In
the second race the very bad start alone
beat the favorite, Dutch Lady, and the
start in the fourth race was bad, although
Wah Jim could evidently not have been
beaten. The weight was too much for
Hoey III the fifth event, and Pay or Play,
whose odds from 10 to 40 to 1, won
easily, the favorite finishing next to Last.
The winners were: Tarentum, l to 9: Capt.
Jack, 3 to l; Pekin 8 to 5: Wah Jim, to 2;
Pay or Play, % to !, and Tinge, to 5.

Pacific Railroad Appeals.

The appeal of the Northern Pacific Rail-

missioner of the general land office patent
ing certain lands near Helena, Mont, to
John ]. Hall. has been dismissed by the
Secretary Of the Interior. Four other ap-
peals of the company, who contested for
lands near Helena, Mont, which was pat
ented to homesteaders, have also been dis
missed. There are now quite a number of
similar cases which have to be decided,
but it is said that all of these will be de-
termned upon the basis of a decision made
some months ago. in which the settler re-
ceived the benefit of the verdict.

the Venezuelan coast is accepted as clear
indication that the authorities do not see
any necessity for any naval representation

Gen. Grosvenor in the Race.
Gen. Grosvenor is the latest addition to
the contest for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Indeed. he has not yet personally
announced himself as a candidate for the
honor. There is little reason to doubt that
he Is In the race, however. Ex-State Sem
ator Jere. Carpenter, an admirer Of Gen.
Grosvenor, resident in his congressional
district and a close political friend, made
the announcement here Just before the ad-
5ournment of Congress that Gen. GEosyenor
was candidate. and proposed to go to
work In earnest as soon as relieved of his
congressional work. Municipal election
campaigns are on in Ohio now and while
state politics will cut little figure in these,
1t is regarded as bad policy to try to push
anything connected with party nominations
pending these municipal contests.
So far only one name has been mentioned
In connection with the nomination for heu-
tenant governor. That Is State Senator
Thomas H. McConica of Fulton county.
1t is probable that some Of the defeated
candidates for governor will become can
didates, after the party leader is chosen,
for the second place.
For only one other place on the republi-
can state ticket has there been any sharp
contest so far. That is for auditor Of state.
There are only two candidates. They are
w. d. Guilbert of Noble county, who is
now chief clerk in the state auditors Of
fee, and Maj. c. w. F. Dick of Akron.
Maj. Dick has been executive chairman of
the republican state campaign COMMITTEES
for three successive years, leading the par
ty to the most remarkable victories in its
history. He will probably have Gov. Nc
Kfnley's support. Next to that for the
gubernatorial nomination, the contest for
the nomination for state auditor will be the
most interesting in the convention. ...-...,
The State Convention.
The date Of the republican state conven-
ton has not yet been fixed. 1t is generally.
understood that it will be held here early
in June. The state central committee Will
meet and fix the time and place immediate
ly after the municipal elections the first
week in April.
On the democratic side but little seems
to be going on in this state. The party
seems to be thoroughly apathetic. No talk
of candidates for the nomination for gov
ernor or the other places on the state tick
ct Is heard. The two overwhelming de-
feats the party has just suffered in the
state seem to have completely discouraged
arouse the party to action this summer the
chances for the election of a legislature

A HOME ENTERPRISE.
The Pine sIun Boiler ana sheet Iron
Works.

The citizens OF Pine Bluff should
feel an interest in any enterprise that
aids in building up our city, in a
manufacturing sense, and that gives
employment to men who, living
here, naturally spend their earnings
with our merchants. Such an enter
prise is the Pine Bluff Boiler and
Sheet Iron Works, owned and
operated b. the Lefaurin Bothers.
While this enterprise is young in
years, its fame has gone abroad in
the land, until today, it is turning
out work that is being shipped to
ali parts Of the country.
The works opened up with only
four employees on the payroll, but
the NUMBER has increased from time
to time. until today there are fifteen
skilled workmen engaged who are
kept constantly busy filing orders
and doing repair work.
Yesterday the Pine Bluff Boiler
and Sheet Iron Works received an
order to send four OF its best work
men to Little Rock to repair the
four boilers OF the Arakanas Cot
ton Oil Company This in itself
speaks well for the enterprise. 1t is
also a big advertisement for Pine
Bluff.
Another thing that our reporter
has discovered to be true, is that
this enterprise has Just finished
repairs to the amount OF $500 on
locomotive for the Gurdon branch
of the Iron Mountain road, which
was sent here fer that purpose.
The Dilley Foundry Company, OF
this city, also did repairs to the
amount of over 5000 on the engine.
The Pine Bluff Boiler and Sheet
iron Works is doing an immense
business in making dry kiln trucks,
and recent orders for trucks have
been received from the following
places:
one hundred and sixty trucks for
Pensacola, Florida; one hundred for
Biyens. Texas; one hundred for
Cox. Georgia, aud smaller orders
from several other cities in different
parts OF the South.

all it can to aid home enterprises,

Ii all our business men would but
patronize home institutions, in
stead of following the old Southern
plan Of sending their orders abroad.
the cry of har1 times would be heard
no more in Pine Bluff and cur city
would prosper as never before in Ter
history. Just as good work can be
done here as anywhere in the land,
yet, granting that it is not, people
should put up with slightly inferior
articles to keep money at home, and
aid struggling enterprises to get a
start.
