pointed to the command of the troops in
the Zeitoun district. Bahri Pasha was
formerly vail of Van, but was dismissed
from hat Office in consequence of the
representations made by Ambassador
Currie that he was in good measure re-
sponsible for the outrages committed on
the Arnenians In that district.
That his removal was made against the
inclination of the sultan is a matter of
common knowledge, and his majesty took
the earliest opportunity to. show that he
approved of his acts as vail. A day or so

the good services he had rendered the gov

well-founded report that he will be given
an important command of troops nomi-

A traveller who has arrived at Trebizond
from Erzroom states that when he was
approaching Baiburt he met 800 Arme-
Man women, who knelt before him and

no males Of their race who could save
them from either dishonor or death.

LONDON, Nov. l3.-According to official
Turkish advices the Armenians of Zeitoun
have, since capturing the battalion OF
Turkish troops and practically obtaining
possession of the city. attacked the village
OF Tchoukourhisser, killed 30 M~ussulmans,
pillaged a house at Dunghel and carried
off the arms and cattle of the inhabitants
of that neighborhood. The Armenians
are also said TO have assassinated the col

some distance from Xeitoun and nearer
the coast, ~telegraphs that 200 Armenians,
disguised as Circassians, a attacked
and plundcred the Mussulman villages of
Zeitunbell and Narl, killing a number OF
the inhabitants.
1t is believed in some Armenian quarters
here that the number of Armenians killed

The Surrender House Now a Ruin
and tho Village Deealate.

This vicinity, now historic, has seen
many changes since the memorable 9th
OF April, 1865; unfortunately, not for the
better. Young men have been leaving
for other fields, the old ones have been
dying off, and the labor negro has been
going to railroads in Southwest Virginia
and elsewhere, SO that our country,
blessed in climate, seasons and soil is
fast retrograding for want of enterprise
and skillful labor.
A few years ago q Washington syndi-
cate bought up a large quantity of the

which the articles of surrender were
signed. 1t was like the play of liam
let,'' with Hamlet left out. as their OBJ
ject was to make it National park.
And well adapted it is for the purpose,
being accessible by trunk line railroad
to every station north, south, east and
west. Subsequently, Chicago party
bought the house where the surrender
took place and tore it down for the pur-
pose of removal to another place having
no connection with the final scene, and
what was genteel home lies on the
premises that surround it, a mass of rub

Emily, or Emma Hall, who is supposed to
have died in a lying-in hospital in De

residing at Halesowen, seven miles south
west of Birmingham, where the father
is employed in a chemical factory. Mr..

tragedy. Emma. as she was called by
the family, left home Immediately after
Christmas to visit some friends in Leeds.
Three weeks later she wrote her parents
that she had engaged to travel with a
lady, and since that time she has not
been heard from. Her friends in Leeds
wrote that she had left there, but did

GRAHAM DIDN'T DIVIDE FAIR.
A bill for $1S2 for repairing ballot boxes

Mr.. Clark performed the work but it
appears that City Marchall Jack Graham

the money. Last year the money was
paid to Graham and he and Clark have
not been on friendly terms since, owing,
it is said. to the Marshars inability to

BANGOR, Maine, April "a, 1Se5.-A
Montreal despatch throws light upon
some things which the customs officials
of this district had begun to regard as
exceedingly mysterious.
For some time an unusually large num-
ber of cofTins has passed through Vance
boro, the last station on the Maine Cen
tral Railroad n Maine before reaching
the soil of New Brunswick There is an
immense traffic at and through Vance
boro, including not only the big business
through this section, but all the traffic
of the great Canadian Pacific system
through Northern Maine for its short
line to the Northwest from the far
East.
AS there is such large traffic at
Vanceboro. anything out Of the usual
run would. ordinarily, not be particular
ly noticeable. but the customs officials
have been suspicious for some time of
the large number of collins which have
passed through there, and it was par
deputies at Vanceboro that the gang Of
Chinese snugglers was unearthed.

ADDICKS MAKE A DEAL.
The Bay State Gas Cornpanies' Elec-
tfon a Sort of Surpr1se Party.

BOSTON, April "a. 1s95.-Gas Magnate
j. Edward Addieks came to Boston at
| eleven o'clock last night and left for
| New York again at midnight.
| But during that time there was meet
ing of the Bay State companies, and the
much interfered elections were settled
by the choice of directors.
The Boston. South Boston, Dorchester
| and the Bay State Gas Companies were
| included IN the meeting.
Mr.. Addicks presented the. disputed
proxies OF the Mercantile Trust Com
pany of New York, and also produced an
order from the Supreme Court of New
York dismissing the Injunction, and then
| presented list of directors. together
with another order from the same court
that they and no others be elected.
The new boards of directors are prae-
tically those of last year, with the ez-
cept.on of the absence of the Hop.
Nathan Matthews, Jr., and the substi-
tuition of Thomas w. Lawson and tie
millionaire railroad president, Gen. Sam
Thomas. as representatives OF the new
element.
General Thomas was elected to all FIVE
boards. It is conceded by all that this
IS significant and most mysterious end
ing of the great gas warfare which has
been waged now for some months. tAn-
other feature was the election Of Hon.
E. B. Gunniff to the board of the Bay
State Conlpany and the selection Of Mr..
sci of all the Boston gas companies.
Bordman Hail. counsel For the In
come Bondho1ders' Committee, said that
the COMMITTEES made a good, fight. and
before long the earnings of the property
and the pr.ces OF securities would show
the wisdom of the work they have done
and are doing.
The Hon; Frederick Coudert, chief
gether with the counsel OF the gas COM
panies and the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, obtained the court order by mu-
tual agreement.
Mr. Coudert said:-seThe commission
has nothing to say at present. It VIII

to any information about the Thomas
element, and the rumors } that the the gas

must go to the only man who has in

Thomas w. Lawson, who is alleged to
have engineered the capture, was seen
by a reporter and was willing to talk
on any subject but gas.

prised at the nights work.

BUCHANAN HOPEFUL AGAIN

SING SING. N. Y, April "a. 1S95.-Dr.
Buchanan. before he retired last night.
wrote long letter to Governor Morton
thanking him for listening to the appeal
of his wife and for granting him re-
spite of one week.
Buchanan's young wife came direct
from Albany last night to Sing Sing
and spent some time with her husband
in the prison. Buchanan told her that
he did not expect to be executed next
week. and he still had strong hopes of
escaping the death penalty.
Buchanan's final words to his wife
were to keep up courage, to see his
lawyers today and urge them to take
advantage OF whatever chance there
might now be to prevent the execution
of the death sentence next week.
Warden Sage said today that he would
not execute Buchanan until he had con-
ferred with the Attorney-General as to
whether it would be legal to carry out
the law next Wednesday, when the re-
spite granted by the Governor will ex-
pire.
He said he did not think it would be
necessary to have Buchanan resentenced
and another day appointed for the exc
cution. He said that he would be gov
-erned. however, by the decision OF the
Attorney General. He will go to Albany
to confer with that official

COKE OUTPUT DRoPAA

CONNELBSVILLE. April "a. 1Ss5.-CoRe
production and output took another turil-
BILE last week, the former being in the
neighborhooa of 1900 tons less than on
the week OF April 1S. Among the con-
surners there is still considerable uri-
certainty about the price of coke Ut is
intimated that the next move on the part
of the coke operators will be to put the
circular rate of furnace coke UP to $l.69
per ton and proporttonate advances VIII
be added to the other grades. The iron
men look at this with disfavor. They
say the present rate of sl;95 shsula be
established first. Last week some sales
were made as low as $12o.
The fefforts to bring about combine
among the coke operators have not been
drapped, but the same obstacles that
were in the way when the matter was
earnestly discussed the early part OF the
week are still to be encounterea.
