Three Years imprisonment.
Sofia, Dec. 3O.-The trial of Tufektchieff,
Atzoff and Georgieff, the alleged assas-
sins of ex-Premier stambuloff, which has
been in progress here for several days,
was ended to-day by the conviction of
Tufektchieff and Atzoff, and the acquittal
of Georgieff.
The convicted men were sentenced to
three years imprisonment each. The
light sentences imposed upon the convict
ed men have caused no surprise, in view
of the fact of the unconcealed bias of the
court in their favor.
Tufektchieff was formerly an employe
in the ministry of public works, and At
zoff was the coachman who drove Stam-
buloff from his club to the place where
he was set upon by assassins on July 15,
1895, dying three days later.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 27.-The Hay

lowing:
This has been a peculiar fruit season.
Not to our recollection has there been such
short Royal Anne cherry crop, and
naturally the price has been gilt edged.
Black cherries have also been scarce, and
apricots are now reported at about half
crop, but strange to say at present are not
exceeding $40 per ton. But an advance
may be expected any time. Quite num-
Der of our fruitmen made ten strike on
currants this year. 1t has been several
years since currants brought from 50 TO IS
per chest. This was caused in a great
measure by the mildew destroying large
portion of the crop.
Now that the ch erries are cleaned up the
next in season will be apricots. The re-
cent hot spell of weather has greatly has
tened the ripening OF cots, and in few
orchards we learn some fruit is already
ripe, but it will be over a week yet before
picking will commence. The fruit prom
