There is great deal of talk
about Walloping the unspeakable
Turk. Let us see about this. The
Turk has 10 army corps Of 10000
men egch, in all. $40. 900 men. The
Turks are among the best soldiers
on earth. In y religious war they
would be inspired by terrible ia
naticism. A Mohommedan soldier
who is killed fighting for his relig-
ion goes straight to Paradise. He
is fstalist, his power Of endurance
is wonderful he Is sober and dan
gerous. Beware, the uRspeakablo

AN BJEcTIoN--Some of the resi-,
dents of Fairfax street, between Prince
and Duke, are up in arms over the ac-
ton of the authorities in placing per-
forated top to the sewer opening in the
middle of the square. 1t is urged by
those who have constructed the sewer
that vent is necessary in order to
properly ventilate it, and they claim
the opening prevents the formation OF
sewer gas. The compliments on the
other hand say the etlluvium which will
necessary emanate from the sewer will
be detrimental to health. The issue,
it is expected, will reach the courts
eventually.
P. s.-The Injunction was granted

BURGLARY At FALLS CHURCH.-The
store and dwelling of Mr.. ]. w. Brown
at Falls Church was entered by two
burglars between three and four
o'clock this morning. They drilled
holes in the safe and filled them with
dynamite which they exploded. The
conclusion which followed partially
demolished the safe and forced it down
ward almost through the floor, and
blew the front and part of one side Of
the building out, showing that the
thieves were inexperienced and put too
heavy charge in the safe. The rob.
bers gained all entrance by cutting out
a pane of glass. Mr.. jos. Wesbury,
who lives in the neighborhood, saw
two men in the vicinity of Mr.. Browns
store and on being discovered one of
them shot at him. Mr.. Wesbury's son
saw the men, from the opposite side of
the street, in the store, and raising his
window gave the alarm. One of the
robbers then shot at him, the ball
sinking the window casing. Mr.. ia
cobs, the clerk, who was sleeping in
the store, and Mr.. Turner, who was
with him, We're aroused by the explo-
sion and succeeded in eXtinguishing the
flames, which were caused by the dyna-
mite. 1t is said that son of Mr..
Brown, who was in the house, jumped
from q window and was hurt. Two
children who were asleep in room
over the store were knocked from their
ted, but were not hurt. The robbery
mad evidently been planned for several
days, as two strange men had been
seen about the town for night or two
past. There was but little money in
the safe and this the thieves failed tc
secure. The loss to Mr.. Brown is quite
heavy. The building is owned by Mrs
A. F. Turner, who has offered reward
OF 5000 for the capture and conviction
OF the burglars, who were seen to leave
Tue town and take the direction o.
Washington. There is no clue to theil

the same men who on Tuesday night
