Captives Die In Massacre That

Krushevo Streets Are Cho1ked With
Onburied Dead--Insur6ents After
Killing the VasililSo Defenders.
Make Fierce Attacks on
Mldia and Adrianap1e.

Sofia, Aug. 24.-The Turks
are reported to have massacred
all the women and children in
two villages of the districts of
Florina and Monastir and to have
afterwards burned the villages.
They also are alleged to have
killed number of prisoners.
The streets of Krushevo are
said to be strewn with dead, and
the survivors are afraid to bury
the bodies, fearing to incur the
suspicious of the Turks.
Following the proclamation of
the revolution throughout the
vilayet of Adrianople the insur-
gents cut all the telegraph lines
connecting the city of Adrianop1e
with the eastern part of the
vilayet.
There are unconfrmed rumors
here that fighting and massacres
are proceeding in the streets of
Adrianop1e.
Reports from Monastir, au-
thenticated by the Russian and
Austrian consu1s, give horrify-
ing details of the massacres and
atrocities. At the village of Ar
mensko, the Turks destroyed
$50 houses out of a total of 157
and massacred every man, wo-
man and child. The women
we're subjected to the most ter
rible atrocities by the soldiers.
Eight revo1utionaries captured
at Krushevo, who were sent in
the direction of Manastir in
chains, we're slaughtered by
their guards,
The sanitary conditions OF
Krushevo are described as re-
voting. The dead are lying in
the streets, stripped of every
garment, the Turks even taking
the vestments off the body of a
priest.

Salt Lake City, Aug. ga
rain of toad frogs practically
blocked traffic here today for
half an hour just before noon.
A light rain was falling all the
morning. Just before 1880 this
changed into quite a hard rain,
which was accompanied by a
large mum Der of toads.
Pedestrians who did not mind
the rain were more than averse
to taking up collection of frogs,
and until the unusual shower
ceased the frogs had the high
way to themselves.

NEGROES CAN'T USE

Dallas, August 24.-The State
Railroad Com mission, in letter
to General Manager Egan, of the
Fort Worth and Denver City
Railroad, urges that negroes be
barred from the dining cars of
that road, and states that unless
this be done the commission will
take formal action in the matter.
The state law now provides
that separate cars and s1eepers
must be provided for negroes,
but does not say anything about
dining cars. Still, the commits
sion holds this is the spirit of the
law and, as such, it should be OBJ
served.

AlldQOOd MAY Leave
Farm This Week.
Prison Commission Meets
Tomorrow to Name His
Successor and Make
Some New Rules.

Atlanta, Ca, August a.
A successor to Warden F. M.
Allagood, who strapped Mamie
DeCris, the white female convict
at the state prison farm more
than two months ago, will be an
nounced tomorrow by the Geor-
gia prison commission, which
meets here for that purpose.
A successor to Superintendent
Foster will also be elected, as
that official has also rendered his
resignation to the commission to
take effect irvsOctober. In adj
dition to the election of socces-
sors to the two officials it is very
probable that the rules which are
to be adopted concerning the
whipping of women convicts will
also be announced.
Governor Terrell, it is said,
has advised the formulation of
such a rule, and commission
ers are also in favor of the plan.
There is considerable speculation
as to who will get the two places
at the farm. There have been
many applications, but SO far the
commission has come to no con-
clusion about the matter.
There is report that DR.. Irby
Adams, who wrote a card in The
Journal several days ago in which
he stated his connection with the
DeCris whipping and condemned
whipping in general, may also
resign. By some it is said that
his writing the card did not meet
with the approval of the COM
missioners.

THE count ry through which
this proposed road is to be built is
the equal of any in the south,
from an agricultural point of
view, but for a number of years
the road would derive it's great
est revenue from turpentine and
lumber. When built it will at
once rank as one of the best pay
ing short lines in the state, to
say nothing of developing as fine
section of country as man
should wish to inhabit. That it
will built seems reasonably sure.

TURKS TREMBLED BEFORE RUSSIA

TURKS TREMBLED BEFORE RUSSIA
st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The
Russian Black Sea squadron
which was ordered to Turkish
waters and which arrived at In
dia, Eastern European Turkey,
August 10, in order to support
Russia's demands on the sultan
growing out of the assassination
of M. Rostkowski, the Russian
consul at Monastir has been re-
called to the squadrons point of
departure.
The recall followed on Motif
cation from the porte that the
sultan had ordered the Russians
demands to be complied with.
A REIGN OF TERROR.
Constantinop1e, Aug. 23.-The
porte's reply accepting the Rus
sian demands was delivered
twelve hours after the presenta-
ton of the Russian note-a
promptitude most unusual in the
history of Turkish diplomacy.
Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minis
ter, and Naum Pasha thereupon
called on M. ZinoYieff, the Rus
sian am bassador, and requested
the withdrawal of the Russian
squadron from Turkish waters
on the ground that it's presence
tended to encourage the insur-
rection.
On the receipt of a favorable
reply from St. Petersburg, M,
Zinovieff telegraphed the order
of withdrawal to Admiral Kriger,
commanding the Russian squad
ron at Iniada.
A rumor has been current that
the sultan appealed to the Ger
man emperor to use his good
Offices at St. Petersburg in favor
of the recall of the Russian
squadron.

When I'm India, Lord Lytton often
sought out conjurors, but never saw
any but the. usual feats such as the
mango tree trick and the basket trick
The method In each case is known or,
at all events plausible explanations
have ben given by Mr., Maskkelync and
other experts On one occasion Lord
Lytton liked something In the looks of
the eon1uror who was performing in an
open space before his house. After
the ordinary exhibition his lordship
asked the magician il he could not do
something more out of the common
way The man said he would try. and
asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton
gave him, He then requested an officer
to take in either hand a handful of
seeds; one sort was sesame, the name
OF the other sort my informant did not

the ring between his finger and thumb.

case he would not throw the ring into
