RUSSIA GAVE ASSURANCE.
Why the United States Naval Dis
play Against Turkey was
Abandoned.

London. Feb. "a dispatch to the
St. James Gazette today from Washing
ton says that the correspondent of that
paper has the highest authority for an
nouncing that the entente between Rus
STA and Turkey is known at the state de-
partnent and that it had Il most inn
portant effect In modifying the plan the
administration had prepared to compel
Turkey to pay an indemnity for the
damages done to the American property
III Armenia. Continuing, the correspond
ent says that III spite of denials he is
able to assure the readers of his paper
that a naval demonstration uOon the
part of the warships of the United States
was prepared and that a cabinet meeting
approved the policy of bringing pressure
to bear upon Turkey. He also says that
Secretary Olney entered into commune
cation with Russia and Great Britain,
asking them if they would oppose action
Of the United States against Turkey.
Great Britains reply was favorable,
but, he adds, Russia informed Mr.. Olney
that she preferred there should be no
naval demonstration at that time, as
restoration of order in Turkey, which
country, L. e. DeKotzebue, Russian
minister to the United States. is said to
have informed Mr.. Olney, would pay any
indemnity required. Therefore, still ac
cording TO the correspondent of the st.
James Gazette, the projected demonstra-
ton of United States war vessels in
Turkish waters was abandoned.

A DUEL IN DARKNESS.
Four Missouri Men Fight Out q
Feud in Hand-to-Hand
Conflict.

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. Ankle deep in
mud, with a drizzling rain falling
through the darkness on a lonely coun-
try road, four men fought a desperate
hand-to-hand conflict with knives early
this morning which resulted in the MUIR
der of one man and almost fatal injuries
of another. The participants in the fight
were st. Louis county farmers living ten
miles to the north of this city. On one
side were Henry Segar and his son-in-
law, John Tegeman; on the other were
Charles and William Gillhaus. brothers
and neighbors to their opponents Will
lam Gillhaus is now dead and Charles is
suffering from dangerous wounds.
Neither of the opposite party was hurt
and at the latest advices they had not
been arrested. A dispute over the right
to drive over a private road on Segar's
land was the cause of the fight.

boiler at the works of the Hollidaysburg
Iron and Nail company this morning.

the fireman.
The boiler was blown through the roof
of the works 300 feet in midair and came
sailing down like a spent rocket, crush
ing through the roof in another depart
ment of the works. The entire roof was
precipitated to the floor below by the
force Of the explosion and the works
were practically wrecked. The explo-
sion was sufficient to rock the earth with
the force of an earthquake near the
works and broke hundreds of windows
as far away as quarter of mile from
the mill.
All the local physicians were called to
tie works to act as hospital corps for
the wounded. There was the greatest
excitement around the wrecked build
ing and the families of the dead and
wounded were frantic with grief. AS
soon as the bodies of the dead and in
jured could be got together Coroner
Foust impanelled a jury After viewing
the wreck the jury adjourned until this
evening. No explanation is offered as
to the cause of the explosion. Some of
the employees say that they were short Of
steam before the accident occurred. The

operates the leading industrial plants
here and it will be several days before
operations can be resumed
