Portland, Nov. 29-J. H. Dow, formerly
with Cook Everett & Pennell of this city,
has been In the employ of &. NJ. Roof &
Co, liquor dealers of New York. There
have been reports of defalcation by Dow.
A Portland apothecary has printed

their agent, declaring that Mr.. J. H. Dow
was no longer in their employ, that they
would not honor any dealings done by

ment of this apothecary's indebtedness to

The amount was something over 5000.
The apothecarys books showed that he
owed the firm of c. NJ. Roof & Co only

REIGN OF TERROR
Daily Expected to Reach Even Streets
of Constantinople.
Powers Arranging to Spring Great Surprise
on the Sultan.

Boston, Nov. 2a.-The following rcli-
able letter was received, today, from an
American resident in Constantinople:
The most pressing question next 10
that of the safety, Of the people who
survive is the provision of aid
for the families of these who
who are dead and those robbed of every
thing. Aid must come on great scale or
thousands will die. The Powers will have
got control in some way before the money
comes on, SO that relief work on a large
scale will be possible.
The position here is critical in the ex-
IRENE. The Turks coming from Asiatic
Turkey are flushed with massacre and
pillage, and are telling of their deeds among
the rabble and a loot OF our bazaars with
accompanying slaughter is possible at any
moment
1.-The Sultan is fighting for his life, and
is not vet convinced that he is going to
be punished for his Grimes. When the
Powers are ready to move on him. he may
order any wild act of revenge In the way
OF general massacre, in order to go out in
cloud of smoke and glory.
1.-THE Powers are acting in the greatest
secrecy, that he may not have time to do
this. When the fleets are ready TO come in,
they will put themselves in communica-
tion with the Porte and demand the sur
render of the Sultan's person. l think
the Porte will then dethrone him 1t will
be an anxious time until this is accom-
plished. -
The American Board has also received
letter from Rev. H. o. Dwight mission
airy in Constantinople, in which he said
that Judge Therrell has labored to his
utmost through all Of these trying times
to do anything and everything possible to
keep the Turks up to defending the mis-
sions.
The United States minister to Turkey
deserves large credit for the safety of all.
He has used the most violent forms of ex
preston that diplomacy permits to con-
vince the Porte of bis earncstness. and has
not left thing undone that could be u
help to the safety of the missionary band
He has had his leave of absence in his
hands for five months, but has often said
that he cannot bear to leave while his fell |
low citizens are in danger"
