The MACEDONIAN war.
The Turks and Bu|garians Now
Fighting on the Frontier.
Conflicting Reports, But There is
Little Doubt of the Conflict.

Sofa, Bulgaria, Oct. 4.-Serious
news has been received here from the
frontier of fighting between Turkish
and Bulgarian troops at Demir-Kapia,
both sides sustaining losses.
In official quarters all knowledge Of
the affair is denied, but the circum-
stantial details given seem to indicate
that there is some foundation for the
accounts Of the conflict. According to
one report, the Turks attacked the
Bulgarian frontier post. Another YER
sion says the Turks pursued num-
Der of refugees across the frontier.
It is asserted that the Turks fre-
quently attempted to provoke hostili-
ties, firing into Bulgarian territory
and crossing the frontier to steal
horses and sheep. The war Office here
is working at high pressure and "a, 600
recruits will be called out. Prince
Ferdinand has sanctioned numerous
other measures of a warlike nature.
All the cavalry, with the exception
of single regiment, which is sta
tioneld at Sofa, has been sent into the
frontier districts, where are also
strong forces Of artillery. Vigorous
efforts are being made to prevent
bands from crossing into Turkish ter
ritory. Two bands, which were sent
back, have reached Sofa since yester-
day.
dispatches from the frontier received
at the revolutionary headquarters re-
port that the refugees in the noun
tains are in terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks
and cold and hunger. Many are dy-
ing.

gitives from the frontier districts, Ma
dame Bahmeteff, wife of tie Russian
agent here, is taking prominent part
in this charitable work.
From insurgent sources, it is report
ed that the Bulgarian villages of Obi
dit and Kremen nave been pillaged
and burned. Many of their inhabi-
tants we're slaughtered. The Bulgarian

Sofa, Bulgaria, Oct. 2.-According
to advices received here this afternoon
the backbone of the revolution i'll Ma
cedonia is broken, the Turkish troops
are gaining the upper hand every
where, several insurgent chiefs have
been killed or wounded, others are
abandoning the struggle and fleeing to
the frontier. The revolutionary bands
are sustaining heavy losses and are
seeking refuge in large numbers and
the Turks occupy every important
point along the routes of retreat to the
frontier.
Fighting is reported to have taken
place throughout the districts OF Ra-
zalog, Melnik, Demirhissar and New
rokop.

London, Oct. 5.-Three ports of the
conflict at Demir-Kapia between Turk
ish and Bulgarian troops have not, yet
been confirmed, but the news is con-
frmed that the insurgents have re-
cieved severe check as a result Of
their operations in the Strumn Valley,
where, after decisive fight in the
open with the Turks. the insurgent
chief, Gen. Zontcheff, was compelled
to send urgent messages for reinforce
ments.
Statements issued from the Turkish
embassy in London and dispatches
from Constantinople demonstrate that
the, Ottoman Government is greatly
incensed at the number of Bulgarian
officers who are leading insurgent
bands across the frontier from Bulga-
ria. Several such officers in uniform
are said to have been killed in recent
encounters. The direct negotiations
between Turkey and Bulgaria are max
ing no progress.

Salonica, European Turkey, Oct. 4.
The Bulgarian notables here went to

It is reported that twenty Turkish
villages in the Razalog district have
been burned. The large village of
Bonisko, is said to have been de-

it is upon this capital that they pro-
pose to trade in the months to come.
| One great advantage that they will
have over the Turks is that they can
stand the rigors of winters campaign
in their own land far better than the
Turks, who are largely recruited from
| the warmer climate of Southern Asia.
This, indeed, is one of the reasons why
Bulgaria is delaying the outbreak Of
general hostilities as long as possible.
| The insurgents now have nearly two
| thousand men armed with rifles in
Eastern Macedonia, while thousands
of peasants are ready to join their
forces as soon as general rising shall
be proclaimed. Another reason why
the revolutionists welcome delay is the
fact that an ordered supply of rifles,
cartridges and dynamite has not yet
been received, while the Bulgarian
government protests against Austria S

Death OF a Good Woman.


Montyale, N. O., February 14.--Mrs. @.
Grimshawe, wife of DIR. @. Grimshawe,
died at Montvale on january 31st, 1908.
She had been i'll about Ave months. Her
remains were laid to rest on February
I'd in the Travellers Rest cemetery. IL
was an impressive scene, and many ex-
pressions of sympathy were extended
the bereaved family and friends. The
large gathering at the burial was ample
testimony to the fact that she was well
known and greatly loved. Her kindness
extended to all ages and GLASSES Of peo-
pie. Many times have the servants of
Christ shared her hospitality, for she
always delighted in ministering to their
comfort. Having her own heart pure
and filed with good will toward others,
she ever sought to promote peace and
happiness among all, and 30 to her was
allotted the blessedness of being called
a child of God, and now the blessedness
of seeing Him face to face.
She will be greatly missed by her rela-
tiyes and all who knew her, but our loss
is her eternal gain. In the midst of our
bereavement let ns find comfort in medi-
tating upon the fact that she whom we
loved Is now happy with Christ, and let us
give praise to Him who guided her with
His counsel and afterwards raised her tc
glory. Truly good woman and a devout
Christian has been called to her reward
Her life was not in vain, and she has lef,
a precious heritage to those who knew
and loved her. Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord. l.. M. LYDIA.
