ARMENIANS AT FAULT.
Alleged to be Provoking Massacres
to Secure Intervention
of The Powers.

New York, Nov. 23.-A special to the
Herald from Vienna says that infor-
nation received from consuls in various
parts of Turkey confirms the impression
that the Armenian revolutionary commit
tees are endeavoringF to provoke further
massacres in order to bring about the
armed intervention of the powers. The
Sultan receives many threatening let
tiers. His majesty has congratulated
Baron Won der Goltz Pasha, who organ
lied the mobilization of the Turkish
troops, on the regular and speedy way
in which the mobilization was carried
out.
The object now desired by the Sultan
is to float a large loan abroad, as there
is a serious want of money. The rough
and naughty manner of Sir Philip Cur
RE has not made a favorable impression
here. He was not, as reported, a bearer
of any letter from Queen Victoria to
the Sultan.
The German Emperor has expressed
to the Austrian ambassador at Berlin
his firm belief that peace will be main
tanned.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-The Excelsior
building at Canal and Jackson streets
and an eight-story brick structure i'm
mediately adjoining it at 171-173 South
Canal street, were completely destroyed

Lithographing company. The Charles
Emerich Feather company and the large

The total loss is not less than 100000.
The fire was a hard one to subdue and
attended with no little danger.
The escape of several hundred girls
from the Strauss, Eisendrath & Drom
factory was made possible only by cool
ness and decision. A number of the
girls suffered from fright and sustained
slight bruises. Before the fight with
the fire was ended Fire Chief Swenie

CARELESS M0TORMAN.
Almost a Repetition Of Last Satur-
days Horror on a Sim
liar q

Cleveland, o., Nov. 22.-A narrow es-
cape from another frightful bridge dis
aster occurred at 2:3O o'clock this morn
ing on the Superior street viaduct, a
structure quite similar to the Central
viaduct where last weeks horror oc-
Cured. Three street cars were waiting
for the draw to be closed. In front was
a car from the Scoville avenue line. 1t
was On the west side of the viaduct next
to the draw and back of it a few feet
was a Wade Park avenue car. Fifty
feet further back was a Woodland ave-
nue. car. While the motormen were
waiting for the draw to swing they de-
serted their posts of duty and were Cos
siping among themselves, when the rear
car started up at a lively rate of speed.
When the mOtOr1nan left his car the
safety cutoff had shut off the current
and the man did not turn the lever SO
that the car would not start up. Sud-
denly the current started again and the
street car bounded forward. The Wood
land car dashed forward at a terrific
speed. The full power of the current
was upon it and an eye witness says
that in the few feet it went before strik-
ing the Wade Park car it must have
attained a speed of fully twelve miles an
hour. People standing on the bridge
yelled to the passengers in all the cars
to jump. The cars were we'll filled and
the widest panic Immediately followed.
With a terrific crash the Woodland car
came upon the Wade Park car, smash
ing dashboards o n both cars. But the
Woodland car did not stop here. No
one had yet shut off the current and
the Woodland car had forced the Wade
Park car forward against the SEQ
vile car. Luckily it happened that the
brake on the latter was set tightly. New
ertheless it was driven forward fully
a dozen feet and when it finally came to
a stop was within a foot of the closed
gates.
The struggle of the panic-stricken peo-
pie inside the cars to escape was fearful.
Mrs. George SCHNEIDER, wife of Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney SCHNEIDER, was bad
ly injured while jumping and was re-
moved to a hospital. Other women faint
ed and had to be taken away in carriages
or a~mbulances. The Superior street via
duct drawbridge is ninety feet above the
river and had the runaway car not been
stopped just where it was, a catastrophe
rivalling that of last Saturday night on
the Central viaduct would undoubtedly
have occurred.

DUNRAVEN REPEATS TT.
Charges that the Defender Measure
mentS We're Altered Are
Reiterated.

Cardiff, Wales, Nov. 22.-A number
of prominent residents of this city last
night publicly presented to Lord Dun
raven a silver model of the Valkyrie

model, which was approved by Lord
Dunraven, is as follows: Presented
at Cardiff November q, 1895, to the
Earl of Dunraven, K. P, by his neigh
bors and friends in recognition of his
gallant efforts to bring home the Ameri-
cas- cup"
Lord Dunraven, replying to the gentle
men who made the presentation, said
that this occasion was one of the happi-
est moments of his life, and added:
Il have passed through a very trying
experience, and l adopted a certain
course because it was my plain duty. l
fully realized that this course was likely
to be widely misunderstood, and that it
would entail upon me much ANNOYANCE
and anxiety. l anticipated that my
words would be twisted, my actions mis-.
understood, and all sorts of false motives
attributed to me. My. a~nticipations have
been amply fulfilled.
81 have not made an accusation
against anybody. / mentioned a fact
which | believed to be true, and which
l still believe to be true-namely, that
the Defender sailed the first race more
deeply immersed than when she was meas
ured the day previously-and | gave my
reasons for so thinking. Of that fact
l nave not had and have not the slight
est doubt.
81 hope I can take a licking as well as
any man, provided it is a fair one. /
would have admitted that my ship was
beaten had she Deer beaten on
her merits. But fair conditions
and a fear field are necessary to
determine that question. / withdrew
because I was certain it was my right
as an individual and my duty as sailing
representative"

merged. An artesian well-borer on the

already made profession of their
faith in Christ The church some
months since went through series of

would join him in a request to the
Governor to send some one entirely
outside of the district and totally
disconnected with any factions
there may be here so that the
charge of partisanship on the part
of the sitting Judge could not be
urged. This seems to us to be so
eminently fair, that it should meet

to secure a conviction of the real
