The sultan Wants Our Guns.

Constantinople. Aug. 9.-The sultan
took occasion during the farewell audi
ence of DR.. James B. Angel, the retir-
ing American minister, to refer to the
extraordinary execution of the rapid
fire and high power guns possessed by
the United States navy. He remarked
that, being impressed by the success OF
Dewey, Schley and Sampson with
American guns. he had already ordered
similar guns for the Turkish navy. The
porte has repudiated responsibility for
tho Armenian maasacres.
Spanish Barbnrity.
The deadly work at Manila was gen.
orally performed in the cool Of the
morning. That these events were fully
appreciated was shown by the presence
on the Lunetta Of thousands of people.
Hundreds Of fashionably dressed ladies
and gentlemen "graced" the occasion
with their presence. For the most part
these fashionables came in their equip
nRes. These ladies would stand in their
Vehicles determined not to miss any
part of the CHASTITY show. The signal
from tho commanding lieutenant that
the victims were dead was the signal
for these delighted lady spectators to
wave their handkerchiefs or parasols as
evidence of their satisfaction.
Asa general thing these were fright
fully grewsome affairs There was FIR
ing squad of five for each unfortunate.
This squad Of executioners would be
stationed about ten PAGES Immediately
to the rear Of their human target. In
most instances the soldiers constituting
the firing squad were natives. They
were secretly in favor Of the rebellion,
and no member of the squad cared to
fire the fatal shot. Consequently each
man would aim for the arm or leg.
This of course only added to the horror
Of the affair.
There was one occasion when IL lead
inp members of the secret revolutionary
society, the Catapunan, were executed.
There was not single instance at this
execution where the unfortunate was
killed by the first volley In MAORI
ty of cases three or four volleys were
required, and in one instance five vol
leys were fired before the surgeon de-
clared the man dead. The announcement
that all were dead was the signal fol
music by the band-gay, triumpha
music. Review of Reviews.

Fire AT Antioch.

Monday evening last, about two
O'Clock, the drug store of DR..
Showed, of Antioch, Ohio, was de-
stroyed by fire, together with a large
stock of drugs. The fire originated
from gas jet, it is supposed, which
was left burning in the building.
1t was a two-story frame structure
24x4o feet, and underneath was a
cellar the same size, which was
stored full with potatoes and can
fruit, the property of different fami-
lies of the town. The citizens had
hard work to save a number OF
buildings near by, but by heroic
work they succeeded. Mr.. John
Hendrickson's residence was DAM
aged considerable. as it was situated
just across the alley from the store.
The loss is estimated at $4,000,
with 5000 insurance.

First Free school Teacher.

Mrs. Esther Stork, of Cincinnati,
is visiting at the home of John
Stathers, on Railroad avenue. Mrs.
Stork has the proud distinction OF
being the teacher of the first free
school in Sistersville. This was
shortly after the close of the civil
war.
Mrs. Stork is now nearly eighty
years of age, but still vigorous and
in full possession of ali her facul-
ties. She will have the kind con-
sideration of all our people during
her stay. The editor of the Re-
view was a scholar in Mrs. Stork's
school nd was licked early and
often.

WANTED TO CLEAN THE TOWN,
But His Ideas of sistersville Were Ma
terially BrOadened.

Frank Mum, an Elk Fork tool
dresser, made his periodical visit to
the city yesterday, and as usual lost
not minute in filling up on cheap
booze. When the fermentation be,
gan his added brain conjured up
possible ideas of conquest, and as
the primary step toward a consum'
nation of his designs he purchased
a revolver of large calibre and
started out to augment the popula'
ton of his private graveyard.
But he ran up against it the very
first crack. The bartender at the
place he tried to work with the
"whiskey-no-m money" racket, failed
in a proper appreciation of Munn's
proves as bad man and ordered
him out. The latter exhausted the
vocabulary of profanity in express
ing contempt for the mandate, and
attempted to strike the bartender.
The heavens were full of shooting
stars for the next few minutes, and
when this astronomical display had
passed Mum was on the outside
with his visage all awry and cop
ious stream of blood flowing from a
demoralized looking proboscis.
He had the man who had caused
the earthquake arrested, hut the
Justice before whom the belliger'
ents were arraigned discharged both
with some wholesome advice
Mum wanted to produce witnesses
to prove that he had not been
drinking, when the court room was
fragrant with his whiskey laden
breath.
Mum has now abated somewhat
his desire for conquest and as he
walked the streets he stroked
his lacerated beak with many
a rueful grimace. His COM
bativeness had not entirely deserted
him, however, and before eight
o'clock at night he was behind the
mosquito netting at the city Jail
The revolver and over $25 in mon
ey was taken from him.

Penalty for Violating City Ordinance
Enforced I'm Two Cases.
Last evening two of the city
truckmen had a trial of speed on
Charles street, in defiance of the
ordinance which forbids it and re-
CARELESS of the danger to traffic.
Oneeof the offenders, Harry Deh-
baugh, was arrested later and fined
two dollars and costs of two dollars
and sixty cents. This morning the
other offender, whose name Is Kim
BILE, was taken in custody and sub
jected to similar penalty.
There has been altogether too
much of these speed exhibits with
in the city limits, and it has been
due to fortuitous circumstances that
serious accidents have not resulted.
Another evil which should be cor
rected is that of searching which is
INDUCED in by some of our cyclists
to the imminent danger of pedestri-
ans.

Roads Badly Located.

Country roads almost as rule
are badly located. The older ones
followed the tracks of bride paths
and farm lines and many of the
later ones are but little improved,
so far as the grade is concerned.
The Importance of locating the
roads properly according to compe'
tent surveys and thorough examin-
alton can hardly to overestimated.
"Time is money" and grades and
square corners constitute a heavy,
perpetual tax upon the public.

ENJoYINe:A FURLoUGH.
A sistersville Boy Well Pleased with
the Service,


the Service.
George Williams arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon from For
tress Monroe, Va, where he is at
tached to the army hospital corps.
He asked his commanding officer
for a twenty days leave Of absense
without much expecting that the
request would be granted and the
ready acquiescence it did receive
came as an agreeable surprise. Mr.
Williams has been spending cou-
pie of days with his parents in
Pittsburg and will pass the remain
ing time among his friends in this
city.
His appearance gives the lie to
reports of ill-treatment so far as the
hospital corps is concerned. He is
the picture of health and has added
twenty pounds to his averdupois
during the short time OF service
He says that he and his compan
ions are not only given the neces'
saries of life, but are RECALLED with
many of the luxuries. Bread and
butter milk, potatoes, tomatoes,
coffee, etc., are given them in gen
erous quantities and most OF the
kicking" comes from fellows
who would be tickled to death to
get as good at home.
DR.. VIM. Kahle, of this city, who
belongs to the first division, second
army corps, in camp at Fort Meade,
Pa, is in excellent health and ap'
parently we'll satisfied with the life
of soldier. He is still private,
reports to the contrary, notwlth-
standing. Geo. B. Thompson, Jr.,
also of this city, made application
for a discharge, and 1t was granted.
Immediately after his release he
Joined his father, former proprle-
tor of the now Hosford House, but
at present conducting a saloon and
restaurant business at Newport
News.
Mr.. Williams has a large &C
quaintance here, and all are glad to
see him looking so we'll. Before
entering the service. he was en-
ployed at Hill & McCoach's drug
store, and also was student in law
with Colonel W. c. Turner. He
believes that he will be sent to Por-
to Rico, as there is a great demand
for doctors of medicine and surgery
in that fever, swept country.
Mr.. Williams saw many Of the
returning soldiers from Porto Rico.
They were terribly emaciated, and
none of them would weigh much
over seventy pounds. But they soon
regained their normal condition
under the good treatment received
here.
