THROUGH TIMES OF PERIL.
Christians All Over Turkey la Fear of
Massacre.


Massacre.
BOSTON, MASS, Dec. 6.-The following
letter was received in Boston this morning
from a reliable correspondent describing
the situation in Adana, Mersin, Tarsus and
vicinity, cities on and near the southern
coast of Asia Minor:
During the past month"; says the
writer, there has been no time for letters
even to my children. We are passing
through times of great peril and anxiety.
The Christians all over Turkey live in
daily and nightly fear of massacre. Bloody
outbreaks have already taken place in
various quarters. The houses of the Chris
tians in March were plundered by the
Turks and Circassians, five Christians were
killed outright, fourteen are dying OF their
wounds and some 200 more were wounded.
Among the killed was the leading native
priest IN all that region. a man who
labored with US there for fifteen years in
building up the theological seminary
of the American board, the girls college
and academy. A great pillar of missionary
work has fallen and there is one great
lamentation wherever the news is heard.
'In Adana and Tarsus the Christians
are kept in agony of fear, not knowing
what moment the massacre will begin.
The Moslems go armed to the teeth,
breathing out curses and threatening
against the Giaours.
Isolated Christians have been killed,
many have been beaten and many robbed.
1t has seemed for days together that these
were but the prelude to the worst things,
so you may imagine the universal terror
and anxiety. In the meantime the great
est anxiety prevails in military affairs.
The reserves are being called out and with
such rigor is the order executed that it is
apparent the Turkish are preparing for a
great war. The parting of these soldiers
from their families increases the excite
ment among the MosIems and their hatred
OF their Christian neighbors. Indeed, we
all believe that if the cruiser Marblehead
had not been in port at Mersin for the past
three weeks with the prospect of staying
while the trouble lasted there would have
been a repetition in these cities of the
scenes in Constantinople, Trebizond and
Marash. Meanwhile we are very anxious
for our friends in Hadjin and other places,
and we are always doing what we can to

DISTRESS OF FISHERMEN,
In Some of the Newfoundland
Villages There Is Abso-
lutely No Food.
Poor Clothes and Furious Gales In.
crease the Miseries of the
Winter.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 6.-The investi-
eating committee ordered by the crown
authorities to inquire into the reported
cases of distress in the small fishing vii
lagos distant from st. Johns made their
report to-day after tour of all the towns
and fishing hamlets where the distress
prevailed.
According to this report the worst has
already arrived and the famine is causing
the greatest distress in the fishing towns,
hardly one escaping its dire influence. In
some of the villages there is absolutely no
food left, excepting for what few fish can
be caught near shore, as the fish
ing industry Is practically suspended
pending the bank fraud troubles.
The fishing schooners lie idle
at the docks, as the owners have refused
to lease them for the winter season until
the mortgage dues have been paid, which
is practically an impossibility. as the
fishermen have lost nearly their entire
fortunes by the financial crash. The
winter season has already set in, and the
fierce gales accompanying it are causing
terrible effects. In addition to being
totally without adequate food supply, the
natives of the fishing towns are not
properly clothed; in fact, in no manner
are they prepared for the rigors of a North
Atlantic winter season. 1t is stated that
a British syndicate has agreed to loan the
fishermen money at a very low rate OF
interest to pay off the mortgages on the
vessels, as by the opening of the fishing
season the distress would in great part
be alleviated.

T,co Young Women of Lincoln DMped by a
StCtndttng Stranger.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. sc. W..
Thomas, alias G. H. Hall, man so years
old, who looks like a preacher, but says he
is an actor and claims Chicago as his
home, is nuch-wanted man in Lincoln.
His bride of two weeks awaits him and
friends of young girl whom he wronged
would like to get their hands upon him.
Thomas, along about Thanksgiving day,
met Miss Mary Adams, girl of some
beauty and 20 years, in Lincoln. They
were mutually impressed and together
went to Seward and were married. Ten
days of welded bliss was enough for
Thomas, who, after securing his wife's
money, watch and rings. deserted her,
leaving many unpaid bills. He returned
to Lincoln last Wednesday and his wife
followed him, but was too late to prevent
him from eloping with another girl, whom
he took to Plattsmouth, the pair register
ing there as &C. H. Hall and wife, The
second girl was in turn deserted after she
had entrusted her jewelry to the tickle
fellow. Both women are now in Lincoln
and Thomas, or Hall, is supposed to have
journeyed eastward.

BUCK ETSHOP AFFILIATIONS.

Stock Brokers.

Charge against Welt- -Kno,Cn Wheat aud
Stock Brokers.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 6.-Near the
close of business to-day there was received
in Wall street Chicago dispatch to the
effect that the board of directors had filed
charges of bucketshop affiliations against
one of the largest private-wire Chicago and
New York wheat and stock houses in
existence. The firm in question proved to
be Kennett, Hopkins & Co., who are men,
bers of the New York stock Exchange.
The representative of the firm was ques-
toned, and he telegraphed to Chicago,
receiving the following reply from F. G..
Kenneth, the head of the house in the
West: &c. B. Harris and 1 have been
cited to appear before the board of direc-
tors to answer to the charge of having con-
nection with R. c. Cunning, man who
used to work for us and who was said to
be running bucketshop. We loaned him
some money at one time, but he paid it,
with interest, long ago. We never had any
other connections with him, and have no
doubt we can satisfy the directors that the
charges are inspired by jealousy and
malice"

The Whaleback Christopher Columbus to
Remain on Michigan.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 6.-'There is no
truth in the report that the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus is to leave
Lake Michigan" said J. G. Keith. agent of
the big passenger steamer, last evening.
"The Christopher Columbus will run

City of Everett of San Francisco, who is
reported to be coming to Chicago in con-
nection with the Columbus steamer story,
is now on his way to this city, but his visit
has no relation whatever to the reported
transfer of the whaleback to the ocean. I
do not see any reason for the report being
started !"

SANFORD, FLA, Dec. 6.-Mrs. James
Davis was arrested near Mascotte, Fla,
yesterday while making moonshine
whisky. Mrs. Davis had rife near the
still and sprang for it when she saw the
officers. The latter were too quick for her,
and the woman was seized before she
could shoot. She managed though to
draw a knife from her bosom and inflicted
several wounds on the men before she was
disarmed.
Mrs. Davis s"moonshine outfit" was
unique, gun barrel playing prominent
part in it. She is about 80 years old and
handsome. She became the mother of
twin girls about three months ago, and the
Infants were playing near the still when
their mother was arrested. Her husband
claims that he knew nothing of his wife's
occupation. The officers say Mrs. Davis
has been making illicit whisky ever since
she was Is years old. A woman whose
son became intoxicated on Mrs. Davis
whisky made the complaint against her.

any definite campaign in the East, as the

siderable strength in New England and
will affect the Maine mans chances to a
