Shocking Grim ca i'm Turkey.

| LONDON, Dec. 2.-Constantinople
advices TO the United Press under yes
terday's date say that the official re-
ports of the disturbances in Caeserea
on the 3Oth ult., state the disorder was
due to two Armenians discharging
guns in the market place. Some per-
sons were killed, the report says, but
order was restored within three hours.
Details of the rioting at Harpoot,
show that on November 10th, the
Kurds made an attack upon the place,
but were easily repulsed. On the 1lth
party of the soldiers and leading
Turks met the Kurds in a conference,
during the progress of which bugle
was sounded at which signal the sol
diers withdrew. The kurds advanced
with yells. There was no effort on
the part of soldiers and Armenians to
resist and the Turks joined in the kill
ing and plundering. Thr Armenian
school was bnrned and then began the
attack upon the Christians. The
buildings in which they were was also
set on fire. The Christians were with
out weapons of any sort and trusted
entirely to the government to protect
them. The Americans remained in
the girls seminary until that building
was set on fire, and then they appealed
to the governor for protection. They
obtained guard of soldiers, all but
two of whom afterwards deserted.
These two remained and carried out
the orders issued TO them to fight the
fires that had been kindled. The burn
ing continued for two days.
The Americans were stripped OF ev-
erything but their clothing. All of
the Christians villages around were
bhrned by the Kurds. The outrages
continued until the government at
Constantinople ordered the troops to
take action. Fourteen Kurds were
then shot, when the numbering and
pillaging ceased instantly. The dis
trict of Diabekir Malatia, Arabekir,
Eyein and Patu have been made desc
late. Thirty five villages have been
DESTROYED and thousands of the inhab-
itants have embraced Islamism in con-
sequence of the pressure brought to
bear upon them.
The Turkish troops which were on
their way to Zeitum to suppress the
trouble there are concentrated at Ma
rash, where they await the return of
the delegation sent to Zeitun to nego-
tiate with the Armenians who are in
control there for their surrender. The
government at Constantinople ssy
they are projecting more extensive re-
! lief work and would welcome foreign
aid through joint commission. They
also state that the appointment OF the
six commissioners now engaged in Ar
menia has proved a great success there,
having a tendency to restore public
confidence.
Ria Pasha, the public prosecutor at
Constantinople, has been appointed
the new governor of Adana.

at 10 o'clock. The body was in fear

ther.

TOLEDO, Dec. 5.-Wm. ]. Murray,
father of DR.. S. B. Murray, a leading
physician here, died last evening, after
fasting AZ days. The old gentlemen
he was four.score years-took it into
his head seven weeks ago not to eat
any more. His relatives did not take
his decision seriously, but when four
days and a week passed they became
alarmed. Mr.. Murray stoutly persist
ed in his determination and all efforts
to give him food were in vain. He
became greatly emaciated towards the
last, but did not suffer any pain and
his end was quite peaceful.

Tillman on the Message.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Speaking of
the Presidents message, Senator Till
man said: Il see nothing in the mes
sage that indicate craftsmanship or a
regard for the general welfare of the
people. The question that suggests
itself to my mind is, if he retires the
greenbacks, what will be substituted
therefor as currency2 If national
bank notes are to be issued upon the
bonds issued to retire the greenbacks,
why not save the interest that will ac-
crue upon these bondsa Both bonds
and the greenbacks are the promises
of the government to pay. The only
difference is that the bonds will draw
interest and the greenbacks not. Why
then, saddle this additional interest
upon suffering people? The policy
of Mr.. Cleveland is surely leading to
plutocracy instead of Democracy"

Clyde's New Line,

New YORK, Dec. 5.-The new Clyde
Line steamer Comanche, Captain Pen
nington, sailed this afternoon on her
maiden trip for Charleston and Jack
sonville. 1t is calculated that the
speed of the Comanche will enable her
to reduce the time from New York to
Jacksonville Gncluding a half days
stop at Charloston) by "a hours. She
left her pier about 4 p. M, and was
reported passing out at Sandy Hook
at S 30 p. m. This is very quick time
to the Hook. The Comanche has
berths for 200 cabin passengers. On
this trip she takes out 250 passengers.

Judgment Suspended.

Judge White of Pittsburg has sus-
pended judgment in the case of a man
whose wife was trying to have him
committed to an inebriate asylum.
After full discussion and conference,
the man admitted his frequent intoxi-
cation, declared his desire to reform,
and voluntarily offered to take the
Kelley cure. With the above prom
ise, the Judge adjourned the case, to
enable him to take the "cure." This
speaks a good word for the belief
Judge White has in the efficacy of the
Kelley cure, and he is not man who
acts without due deliberation and sin
cere acknowledgements Fri

Flood, the defaulting cashier of the
Donohoe-Keller Bank, has given up
the fight and will serve his sentence

ly his appeal for new trial has been

Flood misappropriated $4,000 of the

ment for the crime which he was con-
