CONSTANTINOPLE,N Nov. 1S. 1S95.-The
Porte continues its opera bouffe efforts to
restore order in Asia Minor and has des-
patched two generals to command the
Turkish troops at Erzeroum and Bitlis-

extension of the revolutionary movement
in Syria greatly hamper the action of
the Government and in addition to these
obstacles the Radifs or Landwehr, who
have been called out, refuse to leave
their homes, fearing that they will be
attacked by the Druses.
The news received from the provinces
is generally bad. AT Malatia, about one
hundred miles from Marash. there has
been some bloodshed, several Christians
having been killed, including four Jesuit
priests, who were under French protec-
ton. The Kurds in the Deraim district,
have instigated trouble in Cesarea, but
no details of the disturbances are as yet
a panic in Moosh.
The Turkish Government officials
have promised the Armenians who are in
possession of the barracks at Zeitoun
that they will not be molested and win
be allowed to return to their homes in
safety upon the condition that they sur
render the Turkish arms, ammunitions
and prisoners in their bands.
1t is reported that further changes in
the Ministry are impending.
1t is reported that all of the Christian
and Armenian teachers between Erzer-
oum and TrebiZond are in a state of
terror owing to the attitude of the Kurds
who are said to be armed and actively
aggressive throughout that section of Ar
menia.

wards delivered an address before the Cham

would lind an increasing market in America
and said that as an emissary of peace and
goodwill he was here to prevent any mis-
understanding between the two great peoples.

THE CHIEF AHEAD, so FAR
"Come-on'' Sheffield Acquitted of
Kobbing Green Goods Wen.

John Sheffield, of Watkins Glen, N. Y,
the come on" who last January slugged
two green goods men with black jack
at Taylor's Hotel and grabbed 900 in
green goods money, was tried in the
Sessions Cort yesterday afternoon on
charges of atrocious and grand larceny.
He was acquitted. There was no evil
dence against Sheffield, excepting an
admission made by himself at the time
to Chief Murphy that he had taken the
money. Prosecutor Winfield argued that
if the money belonged to the green
goods men then Sheffield was guilty of
grand larceny. Lawyer Simpson had
the admission ruled out.
Frank Rivers, one of the green goods
men, was arrested at the same time.
When he was placed on trial Sheffield
failed to identify him, and he was ac-
quilted. Sheffield himself was then in
dicted, as it was thought he had been
bribed not to identify the green goods
man.
Chief Murphy still has the $1,000.

burned by the rebels within the last
week, among them a beautiful place
called LA Lecheria," a mile from this

at night that there are alarms in the
city every evening. On the night of
the 1st inst. twenty rebels, well armed,
came into the city and visited store
in one of the streets of the suburbs.
They inquired for the owner and when
he appeared they compelled him to go
with them to the field
The guerrillas of Colonel Tejeda under
Commander Punet who were carrying
a convoy from Songo to Sabanilla, on
the 1st inst, were attacked by a band
of insurgents who fought desperately to
obtain possession of the convoy, but
were unable to do so. During the fight
they killed four soldiers and wounded
fourteen. The guerrillas, in revenge for
the loss they had sustained, took five
innocent and inoffensive residents, ON
their way to Sabanilla, hahdcuffed them
and took them as prisoners of war All

Into the Hoboken Milk and

a side track when the train parted, and
the rear end started down grade

and paper train, saw the detached end
of the freight train coming down grade
toward him and he reversed his engine.
This had little effect, as it was too
late. The runaway freight telescoped
the engine, killing Tindan instantly. The
fireman, a new hand. was uninjured

was not the regular engineer on this
train. and this was his first trip.

burg, a brakeman on the freight, was
badly hurt. The caboose and some of
the freight cars took fire and burned
until after seven O'Clock. All trains
from the city were several hours late
getting to Summit, and no eastbound
trains went through until eight O'Clock.
Superintendent Frank Griffith went to
the scene of the wreck early this morn
ing and directed the removal of the
debris.

Husband May Hang.

Husband May Hang.
VANCOUVER. BIC. Nov. 13, 1s95.-At
the trial yesterday of John Smith for the
murder of Benson Conlin, medical testi-
mony was taken and also evidence of the
police and others as to the discovery of the
body. Mrs. Nora Smith, wife of the accused
was put on the stand. Her evidence was the
most sensational character. She said that
improper relations had existed between her
and Benson for two years; that on the day
of the murder Benson, who lived on a neigh
boring island, had called upon her. Her
husband had surprised them, and with a
shingle mallet had knocked Benson
down and repeatedly struck him.
He then dragged him to a bed
room. Benson's groans could be heard for
some time, but at night he died. Mrs. Smith
helped her husband to carry the body of
Benson Conlin to the beach. Smith put the
body in Benson's boat and cast it adrift.
w hen she heard that the police were on the
trail Mrs. Smith burned the shingle mallet
and also her husbands clothing and Bensons
hat, which were blood stained. Her husband
threatened to kill her if she gave informa-
tion that he was the murderer. In cross
examination the witness's story was not
shaken, and she maintained her self-com-
posure throughout. John Smith takes the
matter very coolly. During the hearing OF
his wife's evidence he displayed no sign of
nervousness

AN EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES.
The Efforts of PLY sicians Fail to APP

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 13, 1885,
For several weeks this city has been
swept by an epidemic of measles, which
has stricken scores of children in all
parts of town. Physicians have done
all in their power to check the spread
of the disease, but their efforts have
met with Indifferent success. So numer-
GUS are the cases that the attendance
at the public schools has fallen off very
perceptibly There is hardly a street
in the city where some one is not sick
with the disease.
There are fully one hundred cases in
the city, and twenty in Highland Park,
just across the river. Only nine cases
have resulted fatally thus far.

+. BELVIDERE, Nov. 13, 1S95.-Warren
County is practically without Sheriff,
as Benjamin Swarts, Sheriff-elect who
for several months has been unable
to discharge the functions of the Office
by reason of ill-health, today failed to
renew his bond, as the law directs, and
will therefore have to relinquish the
office at once.
1t is said that his friends will now
prevail on him to resign, and that the
Governor will appoint someone to fill
the unexpired term of one. year. The
office has been little less than a public
scandal for the past year, as one of
the Sheriff's sons is a fugitive from
justice and the other had been an inmate
of the County Jail for disorderly conduct.
Speculation Is rife as to the probable
ernor has the appointing power, and it
is rumored that ex-Assemblyman E.. j..
