Tarred and Feathered.

George Parmenter, an invalid from
rheumatism, who resides with his wife
and three children III Gillett, Pa,
village near Elmira, n. Y, recently dis
charged Andrew Clark, who had been
employed to do chores around the Par
menter house. Clark returned to the
house Monday when Parmenter was
away. Upon the latter's return home
he found Mrs. Parmenter and Clark to-
gether. Clark attacked Parmenter with
a stick of wood and the invalid left his
home. Clark remained there. About
20 indignant citizens OF Gillett seized
Clark Thursday night, poured tar on his
back and applied feathers. Clark was
then released and he disappeared at
once. The Sheriff has levied on every
thing in the Parmenter home.

WAR IN THE EAST.

A dispatch from Seoul says that two
detachments of Russian troops, one es-
timated to number 500 and the other
200 men, are reported to be pillaging
the country around ANU. The native
Coreans in fear are fleeing south. ANU
is 40 miles north of Ping Yank and about
GO miles south of th9Yalu river. Japa-
nese scouts report that they have dis
covered that the Russian troops are
soute of the Yalu in much stronger force
than was thought.
The Empress Dowager in China has
negatived proposal made by the Vice
roy Yuan Shi Kai and Gen. Ma Yu Kun
to conclude an open alliance with Japan,
in view of Russia's repeated violations of
Chinese territory west of the Lao river.
The Empress counsels patience and a
firm attitude. A British subject who
was resident for some years at Port
Arthur and who has lately arrived at
Shanghai gives roseate account of the
situation there. He says that the houses
are too scattered for the japanese shells
to do much damage and large number
of the projectiles, being armor-piercing,
fail to explode. The Retvizan is the only
warship seriously injured and the other
vessels are being rapidly repaired. Sup
plies are ample, he declares, and the
railway is running freely. He considers
that the capture Of Port Arthur by as
sault is impossible, and that to starve it
out would be very difficult.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.
st. Petersburg, March 26.-It is be-
lieyed here that General Kuropatkin,
who has taken charge of the Russian field
forces, will not attempt to hold any place
in Korea, but will merely use forces in
that country to harrass the japanese adj
vance. The Russian reintorcements
which are being sent to the front are for
the major part destined for Niuchwang,
thus indicating that Russia expects
hard fought battle in that vicinity.
The monasteries of Mount AthOs have
offered the government a regiment re-
cruited from the ranks of the younger
monks. They wish to fight the japanese
for the same reason that the monks
fought the heather at the time OF the
crusade.
Complaints have been received here
of the maltreatment of Frenchmen IN
Korea. Many of them have been obliged
to leave the country.
NJ. Ivkoff, an official of the war Office,
has been arrested on a charge of treason.
Before the war with Japan Ivkof offered
to sell NJ. Kurino, the japanese Minister,
the complete details Of Russian military
arrangements for 5000 roubles. Ivkof
was arrested, and admitted his guilt.
Toxic, March 26.-Japanese scouts
report that the Russians in Korea are in
a most serious condition. Owing to
transport difficulties food is very scarce.
The Russians are without cattle and the
Cossacks are compelled to kill and eat
their own horses.
St: Petersburg, March 26.-Comman-
dant Voronetz, of the garrison at Vladi-
vostok, mas issued proclamation stat
ing that only those persons possessing
sufficient foodstuffs to last them for eight
months will be permitted to remain in
Vladivostok. The japanese have sus-
pended their advance along the Ping
Yang-An-Ju line.

THE PRESENT seems to be an era OF
religious fanaticism. Not long ago an
attempt was made in Russia to infiame
the populace by telling them that the
Japanese nation was composed OF the
lost tribes of Israel, and that their ex-
tirpation would be pleasant to high
heaven. Now we read of the murder In
Persia of DIR. Lafaree, of the United
States, by fanatical Mohamedan named
81 Jasa. The murderer has taken rel
uee on Mount Ararat (where Noah 5
ark is supposed to have rested) with a
band of savage Kurds. 81 Jasa declares
he is a direct descendant of Mohammed
and claims special privileges. He has
ALWAYS shown the most terrible hatred OF
all Christians and has killed several
other foreigners. He has strongly In
trenched himself on Mount Ararat and
the Kurds, who have implicit faith in
his claim to be the descendant OF Mo-
manned, will probably fight to the
death

the result of wounding one of the as

For THE past quarter of a century
people in different parts OF the world
have dreamed of "the millenial dawn,
and preferred to believe that an era OF
peace is about to break upon the earth.
The olive branch, according to these
dreamers, is ready to take the place OF
the barbed shaft. Six or seven years
ago. when it was imagined that all IN
ternational disputes were about TO De
settled by arbitration, many people III
all lands overlooked with enthusiasm
and in their minds eyes saw doves OF
peace cooling over more blessed condl-
tons. About a year later the war be-
tween the United States and Spain was
precipitated. This was followed by the
long conflict between the Beers and the
British, and now Russia and Japan are
endeavoring to annihilate each other.
In other words, there has been BIZ
yearly war since these prophets publish
ed their forecasts. From present in
dications the era of peace is still remote.

GENERAL MILES gives good and pa
triotic counsel to the prohibitionists in
advising them that they can contribute
most essentially to the uplifting Of our
country from menacing evils by co-oPe-
rating with their fellow-citizens III the
solution of natural issues, instead Of
throwing away their votes. But expert
ence shows that such advice is merely
wasted upon the prohibitioners. Their
votes in a presidential contest neither
help nor hurt any political party. They
merely fire blank cartridges in the ranks
of the enemy.

that he wanted to build up practice

Fatal Tragedy in Durham.

Durham, n. c., Nov. 25.-In a
street duel this morning near 10
o'clock j. S. Murray, a prominent
citizen, was killed by his nephew, W.
r. Murray. The homicide occurred
in Main street in front of the place
of business of the deceased, and the
killing was done with the ristol be-
longing to the deceased after he had
fired three shots at his slayer. The
weapon was then taken from him and
the fatal shot was fired. He lived
but a few moments after the last
shot. Tonight w. r. Murray, who
is himself a prominent business man
and identified with both the Elk and
Masonic lodges, is in charge of the
police. The tragedy has shocked the
entire community. Nothing has so
stirred Durham in recent years.
The tragedy is the result of an i'll
feeling of several years standing.
Both men were engaged in the music
business, and this engendered the
bad blood that led up to a fight sew
eral years ago, and which was the
forerunner of the street duel and
