The Nrob's Brutal work.

BERLIN, Aug 29.-The Tageblatt's Con-
stantinople correspondents, in dispatch
published this morning, says that he saw
bands of Turks, 80 or 40 in number, arm
ed with clubs and cudgels, orouching in
the various street corners, planning 10 ELL
any single Armenian on sight He adds
that their mothuds were full Of cruelty
such rs one would scarcely apply to the
killing OF mad dog. The correspondent
says that he saw an Armenian priest hack
ed into a shapeless mass with oudgels in
the hands OF these Turks, whom he denom-
mates "sayages. During this ntrooity,
which the correspondent personally wit
messed, the police stood idly by smiling,
while the cavalry patrolled the streets and
kept careful watch for the purpose OF
preventing any assistance from reaching
the unfortunate priest. He claims to have
witnessed 20 Instances OF similar char
aetor and never In single case did tho
troops or the police disturb the assassin.
Late In the afternoon he met six manure
wagons, which were being driven from the
city, completely filed with bodies OF the
dead Armenians
Continuing, the correspondent Of Tho
Tageblatt says that the arming ofithe low

throughout the city. Had the arming OF
the baser elements of the Turks been stop
ped at an early stage. the shedding OF
blood would relatively have been very I'm
tied General indignation is felt at the
apathy of the ambassadors OF the foreign
powers There is no doubt, In the mind
Of this correspondent, but what most of
the victims of Turkish revenge In TINS in
stance were perfectly innocent Of any
guilty knowledge of the plot to raid the
Ottoman bank. The Europeans barricaded
their houses and lived upon provisions
stored In their cellars. Thursday morn
| ing as Armenians were killed and thrown
into single heap, just inside the coal de-
pot on the quay At Galnta IA other Ar
menians were dragged Of to q terrible
death, while an English merchant who
yentured to protest was thrown into the
water. Numerous other brutal and revolt
Ing murders are reported 60 have occurred
In all sections of the city.
In conclusion the correspondent OF The
Tageblatt says that although 10 was ru-
mored days before that the uprising would
take place and that although secret warn
lngs were addressed TO the embassies, It
was noticed that all Of the guardships
we're absent from the harbor at the de-
| cisiyo moment On this account European
| residents Of Constantinople wore very in
| dignant, the more so when it became
known that several Europeans had beon
killed right in Constantinople.

THE BUILDING INTERESTS

This city has now 15ached such pro- portion as to be considered the second city of the state, and the prospect for future growth is encouraging. The pros- D. cts for the building trades is consider ed good this spring. Winter & Co. are to build large brick block, corner of Will liam and knOwlton stre cts, to take the place of the wooden rookeries that have been occupied as concert saloons and rum holes where the lowest elements cO' gregatcd and toughs carried on fight ing, even to the extent of murder at one tune. A1othor fine block is to be built corner of Golden Hill and Middle streets to ke the place of the Sheridan saloon, which ha. also been a saloon for over 100 yeas. There is nothing purfies an un- Savory locality so much as to put up good sub,tauti4I business blocks, as the new tenants are apt 10 be credit to the city.
 Ihr latr~t news regarding the railroad four tr&chitg Z through the city IS that they intend to run straight across the haTbOr from the steamboat landing on he west side to the Farist Steel Works o1 the eat side and have passenger de- pots and freight houses in the West End and also in the East Fad, which can be built for less than one-half a union de- pot could be at the old station. If the railway goes in An air line across the harbor it will shorten the load nearly one mile and improve the grade, which means q great deal in making fast time.
