The present disagreeably warm wave
has been felt over the Southwestern
States, in the central valleys. and in the
Atlantic States. The thermometer has
registered summer heat at Boston, Phila-
delphla, New York. Richmond, and in
all the cities between here and Kansas.
There is. however. cold wave in the far
Northwest, where there have just been
freezing weather and snow-storms.
Cooler weather here would be considered
a great boon until the people could lay
in a stock Of straw hats and summer
underwear.

details of the situation here show a.
horrible condition of affairs. Secre-
tary Herbert, of the British embassy.
states that he saw one of the munich
pal ~scavengers' carts heaped up with
the bodies of Armenian porters. Upon
the top of the load was the body of a
porter whose head wal terribly bat-
tered, but he was still alive. Mr.. Her
bert noticed that'the skulls of most of
the victims were cleft or battered, as
with clubs.
The Italian ambassador, who wit
messed the killing of 4 nun Der of Ar
menians by Turks, appealed to the Of
ticer of a passing patrol to interfere in
behalf of the Armenians. The appeal.
however, was fruitless; the officer re-
fused the ambassadors request, say
ing: 1t is the people" and proceeded
on his way.
The sultan, upon hearing that the
guardships had landed bodies of men,
begged Mr.. Herbert to withdraw
them, but this the latter declined to
do until the rioting had ceased. The
American college and Bible house
were guarded by troops, and the coll
lege was visited by United States Min
lister Terrell, who wished to ascertain
whether or not the occupants were
safe. The minister's appearance had
a good effect, and he was assured by
the chief-of-police hat everything
would be done to preserve order in the
vicinity.

a ACCIDENT
Narrowly Ayerted on the Pixies Peak Cog
Road.

lSOsiu.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Aug. 81
What might have been one of the most
disastrous railway wrecks OF the year
was narrowly averted on the famous
Pixies Peak cog road just t..o miles
above ManitOu yesterday afternoon.
The engine with one car completely
filed with passengers left the summit
Of Pixies Peak shortly after - o'clock.
Everything went well until L OF the
steepest grades of the road above
the Manitou cog station was
reached, when one of the con
Meeting rods Of the engine
broke and twisted out a cylinder head.
Control of the ponderOus piece of ma
chinery was lost Immediately, aud it
started down the grade with Il fright
ful momentum. The engineer and
fireman jumped for their lives and es-
capped with only Il severe shaking up.
The runaway engine remained OF
the rails for "a distance of nearly a
mile when, just above Shady Springs, it
jumped the track and collided with a
gigantic rock which it split in twain.
The rebound sent the engine into Il
ravine 100 feet below. The engine
preceded the passenger coach, but was
not attached tt it. When the danger
became apparent the signal was given
for the coach brakes ana the car was
stopped before it also got beyond con
troll, thus probably saving the lives OF
scores of tourists,
