The double-deck Pennsylvania ferry<

O'Clock this morning smashed head on
into the big Atlas Line steamship Al
vena which. in tow of tug boat was
going down stream. There were about
forty passengers on the Chicago and the
shock threw many of their feet. At the
crash of timber the passengers
ran excitedly to the front deck.
When they saw what had hap

a momentary panic ensued When 1t

able to proceed to this city as the entire
front deck for a distance of eight feet
had been smashed into kindling wood.
while another part of the deck was cut
off clean. The top end of the port hood
was smashed into splinters, and the port
rudder. which is made ot iron and cost
$500, was carried away.
There was no leak perceptible, how
ever and the trip to this city was
made in safety. The vessel had to enter
the slip stern foremost. AS soon as the
passengers were landed she was towed
to Weehawken for repairs and the ferry
boat New York was sent down to take
her place.
THE ALVENA DAMAGED.

because Thomas H. Jones of Irvington
got a majority of the delegates in the
whole county of Essex. They demanded
the withdrawal of Jones' alleging that

MORE MASSACRES.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2S, 1S95-Pri-
vate adYices from an Armenian source
report the occurrence of terrible mas
sacre near Baiburt on the road between
Erzeroum and Trebizond. These reports
allege that five hundred Mussulmen
laizes, armed with Henry Martini rihes
and supported by the Turkish inhabitants
made an unprovoked attack upon the
Armenian inhabitants of several viii
lagos. and it is further alleged that a
number of young men and women were
burned alive at stakes and that many
women Were outraged and horribly mu-
ti2ted. After the churches had been
desecrated the Mussulman mob pillaged
the villages and stole all the cattle and
other property of value they could car
ry off. 1t is stated upon the same auth
ority that over $50 Armenians were
killed. The inhabitants of these viii
lagos had made application beforehand
to the Governor of Baiburt for protec-
ton against the raid of Musselmans,
but the Governor sent only three gend-
armes. who did not arrive until the mur-
der and pillage were over. 1t is said that
the names of the ringleaders in this out
rage are known to the authorities.
The news of this latest outrage has
made a painful impression in diplomatic
circles. and is regarded as affording
fresh evidence of the necessity for
prompt and energetic action on the part
OF the powers to prevent further out
RACES by the swift punishment of those
found guilty.
Later Armenian advices from Erzing-
jan estimate that several hundred Ar
menians were killed in the recent dis
turbances there. The Turkish version
speaks of fifty having been killed.
A dispatch from Trebizond says it is
reported that Turks have attacked the
Armenfans in the mountains of Gumush
Dagh, near that city.
The reports that fresh disturbances
have taken place at Moosh are untrue.

Butte Mont. July s.--The preliminary
trial of H. A. Sloan and William Mcmahon
today developed a gigantic forgery scheme
affecting bankers and merchants in nearly
every large city In the United States. The
two rnan were arrested several weeks ago,
when they presented themselves at one OF
the banks OF this city and attempted TO
collect SIS on a contract" for an adver-
tisement IN a publication called Laird's
Industrial Gazetteer. The bank rejected
the contract as a forgery. on the men
were found hundreds OF similar contracts
bearing the alleged signatures OF various
merchants and mining companies. How
the men secured the signatures of the ner-
chants is unknown. They have the al
legged advertisements Of firms in Chicago,
St. Louis. Omaha, Spokane, San Fran
cisco. Helena and many other cities, estl-
mated TO represent over $4,000. When the
men were first arrested telegram was
received from New York signed 1.-THE
Laird Company" stating that the men
were all right and that the company was
responsible.
