ter special from Hampton, S. c., says:

last. William Blake, ST., was recon-
mended to the mercy of the court and
his sentence was life imprisonment

hanged on the 9Th of December next.
After the prisoners were sentenced it

at the jury's recommendation Of mercy
to William Blake, ST., and persons were
heard to say that Blake would never
reach the penitentiary.
The convicted men. as soon as court
adjourned, we're taken out of the court
room. On their way to the Jail with
in few feet of the prison, the Sheriff

Chicago People Becoming Exer-
cised About It.
SAFE GUARDS ARE NEEDED.
DISEASED HORSES BoUGHT AND
USED.
An Ordinaces Framed Which Will
BE Almost PrOhibitOry in It's
Measures-There is No Profit in
the Business if Sound Animals
BE Out West.

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-THE recent dis
closures regarding the sale of horse
meat in this market has had the effect
of stirring up the health department
to realization of the necessity for
throwing ample safeguards around it.
Yesterday the department transmitted
to Norman Stanwood, chairman of the
city council committee on health and
county relations, the draft of an
ordinance, which, if is is passed, will be
almost prohibitory in its effect. 1t is
proposed to license the establishments
where horses are slaughtered, but it
is said that the license fee will be so
high and the provisions of the ordi-
nance so eXacting that there will no
longer be a profit in the business.
Alderman StanWood, who is fathering
the ordinance, said: The ordinance
has been drafted by the law depart
ment of the city and 1 am frank to
say will end the killing of horses for
food purposes in Chicago. Under the
inspection provided for, not even the
wealthiest packer will find a profit in
buying horses for food purposes. AS
it is now, diseased horses costing from
81 to So can be purchased for the
slaughter houses in existence, and a
profit made out Of them. But good
sound, healthy horses cannot be pur-
chased for such money and they will
have to be purchased if any horse
flesh is disposed of under this ordi-
nance. 1 do not see the slightest rea-
son why the ordinance should not go
through. 1t is demanded by the health
department and public safety 1 shall
propose one amendment to it, and that
cI,
license for any such Strengthening
place except upon the recommendation
Of the health department"
Commissioner of Health Kerr has
taken the liveliest interest in the pro-
posed ordinance. He said: The pro-
posed ordinance is right in line with
what the health department needs in
order to regulate and inspect the pres
ent nefarious features of the business
1t goes without saying that an 6rdi-
nance to prevent the killing of horses
would be, we are advised. illegal and
unconstitutional, but the city has the
right to license the men who prosecute
this business and to throw a. rigid sys-
tenn of inspection about it. 1 really
think it will have the effect, if passed.
to close all the horse killing establish
ments in the city and that no new
ones will be opened up. Personally, [
do not think the public can act too
quickly in this matter through the
medium of the council. The evil is an
aggravated one. No concealment is
made Of the fact that the worst kind
of horses are being killed and sold as
meat throughout the city. Worse than
this, the same meat is going abroad in
cans and carrying disease with it I
cannot understand how there can be
the slightest opposition to the ordi-
nance and sincerely hope it will pass y

Talk of Turkish Pnners.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the Standard
says:
The Turkish papers in announcing
the consent to the Armenian reforms
state that the sultan has decided to
introduce reforms in all provinces Of
the empire beginning with AnatOlia
The reforms comprise an increase and
reOrga IMITATION of the gendarmerfe and
of the police forces and the ameliOra-
ton of administrative and judicial
branches of the service.
4 lines editorial says: 1t will prob
ably be too much to expect the extern
sion of the Armenian reforms to other
portions of the Turkish empire, yet
nothing would more powerfully consol-
idate the sultan's real authority.

Ing on the same subject presumes that
the powers have accepted a Mussel-
man instead of a Christian high COM
missioner.

Armenia'S best friends. 1t is evident
the concert of the powers has been
more apparent than real
An Eye Witness.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
COnstantinOple says: An eye witness
of the Trebizond massacre says the Ar
menian quarter was completely sacked,
and the mob only desisted when
nothing was left TO pillage or to kill
The soldiers assisted in the massacre
with their rifles. The better class Of
Turks gave protection and shelter in
their own houses to the Armenian wo-
men and children, SO that none of these
were killed in the town itself These
same Turks obtained permission for
the Armenian refugees to shelter them
selves in the barracks during the fol-
lowing night, when it was feared the
massacre would be renewed. Several
Armenian villages outside of Trebi-
zond were burned and pillaged and
lives thare varn to len also.
The Chronicles COnstantinOple cor
respondent says: '-The sultan has so
feared exasperating the 1iusselmen by
consenting to the reforms that the min
lister was obliged to implore him to
sign the document. I fear English
opinion will be greatly disappointed
when the terms of the reform scheme
becomes known. But nothing better
could be obtained with the appearance
of the British fleet in the Dardanelles,
which would have involved the instant
disruption of the entente between Eng
land. Russia and France and probably
a Russian occupation of Armenia. Sir
Phillip Currie, therefore has done the
best possible without causing a, serious
breach between England and Russia.
This temporary solution. however, will
not save the sultan from an outbreak
of dangerous anti-dynastic feeling Of
which the sultan will probably be the
victim"
