Armenian Villages Destroyed and Men
and Women Burned Alive.
Constantinople, Oct. 80 Another
terrible massacre of Armenians is re-
ported to have occurred in the Baiburt
district, between Erzeroum and Trebi-
zond. According to the news received
here mob of about 500 Mussulmans
and Lazes, the great majority of whom
were armed with MartiniIIenry rifles,
made an attack on the Arnenians in
habiting several villages of that vi
cinity, 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 IL number of men
and women who were captured by this
rioters, it is added, were fastened to
stakes and burned alive. The Armen-
ian women who fell into the hands of
the mob, it is also asserted, were bru-
tally treated and mutiiated.
1t is also reported that the churches
were desecrated and the villages pill
laged, the cattle and all the portable
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 for protection to the governor
of Baiburt, who, after hearing their
complaint, sent three policemen to the
scene of the massacre after the slaugh-
ter was ended. The Turkish officials.
it is claimed, know the ringleaders of
the outbreak, but apparently no steps
have been taken to arrest them. The
number of Armenians massacred ut
Erzingjan is now said to be several hun
dred.

SLAIN IN BATTLE.


bpnntHh Forces DetenUeu OuDh Win
Heavy Loss.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. II, via Key
West, Fla, Oct. ga party of inslir-
gents, aided by several residents of the
village of Hongolosongo, IL miles from
Cobre, set fire to Hongolosongo on the
18th inst. after seizing all the arms and
ammunition they could find in the place.
The volunteers went with the rebels.
On the banks of the Bayamo river be-
tween Corojo and Santa Barbara,
short distance from the city of Bayamo,
there was n short but bloody encounter
on September "a between part of the
forces of the rebel leader Rubi, under
his command, and strong Spanish col
unn, 500 in number, under Col. Tovar.
The rebels were lying in ambush on
the right and left of the road along
which the Spaniards were advancing.
They allowed the vanguard, 200 in num-
Der, to pass unmolested, as well as Il sec
tion of guerillas, but when the main
body of the column arrived 500 OF Rabi's
men, armed with rifles, opened fire from
their positions and almost destroyed
the main column.
| After the fire had lasted an hour, Col.
Tovar, seeing that he was losing many
men, ordered his vanguard to be reen-
forced, and ordered the use of the bayo-
net. Rabi lost no time, but with $50
OF his famous cayalrymen attacked the
Spanish center and rear guard. The
Spanish commander could not resist the
attack, and ordered a hasty retreat,
leaving on the field 40 killed and
wounded whom his men were unable
to carry with them. The rebels had
five killed and ten wounded. and cap
tured a quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton abandoned by the Spaniards.
This engagement proves now untrue
the report that Rabi and many of his
men We're about to surrender.
On September 25 the Spanish general
Echague, with 2,500 soldiers, met the
vanguard of Antonio Maceo on the
Guayabal river, district of Holguin.
The vanguard had been sent to draw
on Echague and his men to the top OF
Chivo mountain, where Antonio Maceo
was awaiting them with 1000 infantry
and 700 cavalry. During the march the
rebels were constantly firing on tho
troops, and after three hours fighting
the troops retired without daring 70
advance to the top of the mountain.
The Spaniards had more than 80 killed
and wounded, and five soldiers were
taken prisoners. The rebels had three
killed and nine wounded.

ward effect upon the accused. Holmes
composure was wonderful, and during
the narrative he busted himself in TAX
ing copious notes of the prosecuting Of
ecer's address.
When the district attorney had con-
cluded his argument Holmes requested
that he be allowed light and writing
materials in his cell in the county
prison. This was granted him, and
then Holmes asked to be allowed to
see his wife. A sharp interchange of
dialogue occurred between the prisoner
and the district attorney as to which
wife he wanted to see, and finally
Holmes was driven to say that it was
the last woman who had been deceived
into marrying him. This woman has
refused to see Holmes, but he obtained
promise from the court that letter
should be given to her tonight, and
that, if she would comply, an answer to
1t should be sent to him from her.
Here court adjourned until morning.
After the adjournment of court Judge
Arnold stated that he would not press
the case for disbarment against Messrs.
Shoemaker and Rotan, in view of the
fact that Holmes had refused counsel
and would conduct his own case.
In addition to the murder of Pitezel the
prisoner Is also accused of the murder at
Toronto, Ont, of Pitezel's two young
daughters, Alice and Nellie, of the murder
| at Irvington, Ind, of the young son, How
ard Pitezel, and also of the murder of vari-
GUS other persons in the famous Holmes
| castle at Chicago.
Benjamin F. Pitezels body was found in
| house at 1916 Callowhill street on Sep
| tember 3, 1894 1t was supposed he had
| been accidentally burned to death, but q
| claim for $4,000 insurance by Jephtha d.
| Howe, of st. Louis, started an investiga-
| ton which resulted in Holmes being ac-
cused of Pitezel's murder for the purpose
| of obtaining the insurance money.
| Detective Geyer went out to visit Toron-
| to, Chicago and other western cities to
| endeavor to obtain evidence against
Holmes which would warrant his being ar
| raigned for murder. Detective Geyers
success in finding the dead bodies of the
children is well known, and other facts
which he gleaneo satisfied District-Attor-
ney Graham that Holmes could be convict
ed here of the murder of Pitezel. Detective
Geyer also brought to this city Mrs
| Pitezel and others from various parts OF
| the west and Canada to take the stand as
| witnesses against Holmes.

Largest Dry Goods Firm in Louisville
Fails.
Louisville, Ky, Oct. 2s.-Bamberger,
Bloom & Co., the large wholesale dry
goods firm of this city, made an assign
ment at o'clock Saturday afternoon to
the Columbia Finance G. Trust COM
pany. At the same time the individual
members of the firm, Levi Bamberger,
of New York, julius Bamberger and Lee
Bloom, of this city, made assignments
of all of their property to the same trust
company for the benefit of their cred
itors. No schedule of assets and La
bilities has been filed, but it is thought
the liabilities will amount to 81 200, 900
and that the nominal assets will equal
that amount.
In 1889 the firms store on Main street
was totally destroyed by fire, their busi-
ness was interrupted and there was
long, vexatious and costly litigation.
Mr.. Lee Bloom, when asked about the
assignment, said it was due to the eff
fects of the fire, from which the firm
never quite recovered, together with
the panics of 1890 and 1898. Bam-
berger, Bloom &c Co. had the largest
trade in jeans in the world. Their ac-
counts are largest in Kentucky, Indi-
ana, Tennessee, Illinois, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas.

CAUGHT IN a TRAP.
A Triple Murder Prevented and Its Pro

Triple Murder Prevented and Its Pro-
jector Killed.
Phoenix, A. T., Oct. 2s.-J. Z. Hoxie
few days ago informed Sheriff Orme
that he had been offered $500 by man
named Vienna to assist in killing fam
lily of three persons living in Mesa 20
miles east of here. The proposed vic
tins were DIR. A. Williams, his wife and
daughter. Vienna said he was married
to the daughter, but they had been sep.
arated. BY the death of the three per-
sons mentioned he would become sole
heir to valuable property possessed by
Williams in Kansas. The Williams fam
lily was warned of their danger, dunn
mics were placed in their beds and Off
GERS secreted themselves in the house
At midnight Saturday Vienna and Hoxie
forced an entrance TO the Williams res
idence. The officers ordered their sur
render, and Vienna, showing fight, was
shot dead. 1t was then discovered that
the dead man was none other than Dr.
John Rose, who was at one time prom
inent Arkansas physician. His state
inents to HoXie regarding his connec-
tion by marriage to the Williams fam
lily and the existence of the Kansas
property were perfectly correct, and
he undoubtedly contemplated the cold
blooded murder of his wife, father-in-
law and mother-in-iaw. A second ac-
complice of Rose named Cooley was also
captured.

ton has reached this city from the
Oneida reservation of the death of three
children as a result of the forest fires
raging in that region. A number of

selves.

CHURCH EXTENSION.
BY REV. HOLMES sLADE.

These are times when the talk with
our people is directed largely to the
subject of Church Extension, and
one of the most important questions
that comes up for our solution is, SIN
what manner are we to secure the
means for giving a greater impetus
to our cause?"
1t will be agreed that large per-
centage of the instruction to which
the people, old and young are listen
ing from the pulpits, and in the
schools of the land, is of a kind averse
to the pure Gospel of Christ, and is
calculated to keep the knowledge of
our own most precious sentiments
away from the people. And what a
work is before us, then, at this junct-
ure, as never until now, when men
are declining from old dogmas, and
they must be shown the true grounds
of faith that accords with the best
reasoning of their minds, and whose
practical illustration is that of good
will to mankind.
From time to time God has been
calling upon us to assume our posi-
ton among the denominations of the
land. With boundless privileges
we have childishly allowed them to
go to waste. There never was time
when it was more needful to do for
our church than now. There never
was time when we were more in
danger of missing our opportunity.
1t does seem sometimes as if our
cause would certainly go by default
so halting and timid are we. Our op-
ponents Notwithstanding the rapidly
waning influence of their teaching,
are a united, compact and efficient
body. They are confident of success,
whilst we are scattered, distrustful
and afraid of each other 1t is not
for us to grow weary of this special
work of ours in putting our cardinal
principles before the minds of the
people. We claim that we have
truths which the world needs; and
everything about our religion relates
directly or indirectly to human wei
fare, improvement and happiness;
claim that puts us under obligation
to give it to the world, and loyalty to
it demands loyalty to our church
principles.
l need not say that one of the most
important distinctive features of our
principles has been to rescue the con
ception of God from the harsh keep
ing of orthodoxy which took from the
Divine Being almost every engag-

advised to take carriages for the rail-

walk, and set out in advance of the car

By i'll advice to walk"
Promptly the good man responded;
