MORE TURKISH HORRORS.
Terrible Massacre of Armenians in
Baiburt District-Women
Outraged.

Constantinople, Oct. 2S.-Another ter
rible massacre of 4Armenians, accompa-
MED by the %outraging of women, is re-
ported to have occurred quite recently
in the Baiburt district between ErZeroum
and Trebizond. According to the news
received here, a mob of about 500 Mus
sulmans III Lazes, the great majority of
whom were armed with Martini-Henry
rifles, made an attack upon the Armeni-
ans inhabiting several villages of that
vicinity and set fire to their houses and
schools. AS the Armenians fled in ter
ror from their dwellings they were shot
down as they ran and 4 number of men
and women who were captured by the ri
oters, it is added, were fastened to stakes
and burned alive. The Armenian wom-
en- who fell into the hands of the mob,
1t is also asserted, were outraged and
brutally mutllated. 1t is also stated that
churches were desecrated and the vii
lagos pillaged, the cattle and all the port
able property of any value belonging
to the Armenians being carried off by
the ~marauders.
During the disturbance $50 Armenians
are reported to have been killed. The
surviving villagers applied to the gov
ernor OF Ba1buPt for protection. After
hearing their complaint he sent three po-
llcemen TO the scene of the massacre
after the slaughter was ended. The
Turkish officials, it is claimed, know the
r1ngleaders of the outbreak, but appar-
entity no steps have been taken to arrest
them.
The number of Armenians massacred
at Birmingham is now said to be several
hundred. The Turks, it is stated. have
also attacked the Armenians in the dis
trlct of Grmushdagh near Tretizopd and
have slaughtered many of them.

.Marshalltown, Ia, Oct. 25.-Some in
teresting facts have developed in the
breach of promise suit of Belle n. Avery
of Fond du Lac, Wis, against David j..
Evans of this city. What makes the
case of particular and peculiar interest
is the fact that Evans has a living wife
to whom he has been married since 1882.
He IS an ed and W~eIknown resident
Of Marshaltown, and is quite a promi-
nent business man, having conducted a

Evans emphatically denies these allega-
tions. AS an excuse for keeping up the.
intimacy with the Wisconsin girl he says
that his married life has been an I'M
happy one, but that he intended nothing
wrong. Efforts have been made to settle
the case without recourse to the courts,
but without avail.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Not Likely to be Held Until the Latter
Part of June.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Ex-senator
Garter. chairman of the Republican ma
as to the probable time of holding the
next Republican convention. He said
he had not conferred with the other
members Of the committee in regard to
the date, but as six months notice must
be given of the date after the meeting
of the committee, the convention could
not be called earlier than about the mid
die of June. He thought, however, that
it would be the general desire not to
have the convention meet until after
the adjournment of Congress and he did
not think it probable that Congress
would be ready to adjourn until about
the middle of June. A fair Inference
from Senator Carriers remarks are that
the convention would not be called to
meet earlier than the last of June.

negro never had been responsible for
the frauds committed in South Carolina

the work of designing white men for
which the negroes were not responsible.
He declared that the scheme Of dis
reimbursement before the convention was
gotten up by designing men for their
own interest. Though it would be
passed, the negroes, said Whipper, would
fight it in the Supreme court of the
United States and Congress and, if all
these failed, before the people of the
country. He was followed by Robert
Smalls, also colored. who contended that
the negro was here to stay and that it
was to the interest of the white man
to see that he got all of his rights. De-
bate was then adjourned over until Mon
