The overthrow of stocks at the open ing brought back to mind the condi- tions of March. There was a very poor market in which to liquidate, and shares like Union Pacific and Shelters had to be sacrificed in order to sell. With this liquidation there was cer- tain amount of short selling to aggra- vate the weakness.

Poison Put in Fine Fish Pond.

Some miscreant, whose identity it
will be difficult to discover, poisoned
the fish in the large pond at l.. V.
Hardness Walnut Hall stock farm in
Fayette county, on the Newtown pike,
and nearly thousand pounds of dead
fish were gathered from the water sur
face and hauled away Saturday and
Sunday.
The pond was well stocked with bass,
newlights, Dream and other varieties.
Hundreds of these fish weighing from
few ounces to five pounds were found
floating on the water Saturday morning
and an investigation showed that prac-
tically all the fish in the pond had been
killed.
The supposition is that some person,
or persons, who had become offended
because they had been refused permits
sion to fish there, had poisoned the
water, thus destroying the fish. The
pond was too close to the farm house
for the miscreants to have used dyna-
mite and the belief is that poison was
resorted to. An effort will be made
10 discover tie guilty persons.

TURKS RAID PERSIAN TOWN
Seventy-eight People Killed, In
Guiding Many Christians.

Tehcran. Persia, Aug. 5.-The in
cursions of Turkish troops across the
northwest frontier of Persia, which
for some time had been in allegiance,
have again broken out. A serious raid
has occurred near Urumiah, 5000
Turkish troops, with artillery, having
crossed the frontier and destroyed the
village of Mavaneh. Seventy-eight
persons, Of whom sixty were women
and children, mostly Christians, were
killed. Subsequently the Turks drove
a small force of Persian troops from a
nearby camp and instituted them
selves in it. According to an unofi-
cial report a large body Of Persian
cavalry subsequently joined the Turk
ish invaders and the combined force
is said to be threatening the town of
Urumiah, twelve miles west of Lake
Urumiah and %sixty-four miles from
Tabriz. Urumiah, which has a pop
ulation estimated between 10000 and
$4,000 persons, including many Chris
tians, is noted as a center of mission
airy activity and is the seat of the
Fiske seminary for girls and of Uru-
miah college. 1t is considered prob
able that Russia and Great Britain
will be appealed to and bring pressure
to bear upon Turkey with the view of
stopping the raids.

TWO COUNTRIES IN ACCORD
Energetic Measures to Be Taken as a
Result Of the Recent Massacre
at the Moroccan Port.

Paris, Aug. Exchanges between
the cabinets at Paris and Madrid con
corning the programme to be pursued
in Morocco al an outcome of the Casa
Blanca massacre of last Wednesday
are proceeding actively. No difficulty
is anticipated, but pending a complete
agreement the French foreign Office
limits itself to the announcement that
energetic measures in conformity
with the spirit of the Algeciras con-
ference and in concert with Spain will
be taken"
In addition to punitive measures at
Casa Blanca there is reason to be-
lieve that France desires the imme-
date Inauguration of the police force
at eight Moroccan ports as provided
for in the Algeciras agreement, this
measure to be accompanied by a naval
demonstration along the entire Moroc-
can coast. Six French warships are
in readiness at Toulon. 1t is thought
if Spain agrees that Casa Blanca will
be occupied within one week by
French and Spanish troops, who will
guard the gates of the town, permit
fugitiyes to return and afford protec-
ton for the resumption of work by
the French company on the harbor
improvements. No bombardment is
deemed necessary, but the deposition
of Maelanin Pasha and the punish
ment of those responsible for the mas
sacre will be the first exactions. The
powers who signed the Algeciras COM
pact will be notified of every step
taken by France and Spain.

MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS
Slaughter at Casa Blanca Outcome of
Arabian Holy War.

Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 1.-Dr.
Merle, who arrived here on the Ger
man ship which brought a number Of
Jews and other refugees from Casa
Blanca, is the bearer of a report to the
French charge d'affaires here showing
that the slaughter of Europeans in
Casa Blanca was an outcome of a holy
war preached by the Arabs for the
determination of Europeans.
On Monday a number of Arab chiefs
entered Casa Blanca and demanded
that the harbor Improvement works
ease. The pasta of Casa Blanca
pointed out that this work was being
done with the sanction Of the sultan,
%whereupon the chiefs replied that the
sultan was no longer their ruler, as
he obeyed the Christians. They then
began to incite the natives to exter-
inmate alls Jews and Europeans.
On Tuesday morning the natives
began their attack by stoning a Euro
pean and when this man tried to flee
he was surrounded and hacked to
pieces. This was the signal for an.
other attack and as soon as the dan
ger became known the French and
Spanish residents rushed to their re-
spective consulates for protection.
During this flight at least eight were
murdered

SERIES OF ATRocIoUs DEEDS
Another Brutal Murder of Little Girl
in New York CITY.

New York, Aug. 1.-The excitement
caused in this city by the recent afro
cious crimes against women and chill
dren was greatly increased during the
day by the discovery of the body of an
eight-year-old girl in the cellar Of an
East Side tenement. The child had
been assaulted and then murdered.
There were marks on the throat indi-
eating that perhaps the little one was
strangled. The body of the child found
was identified as that OF Katie Dritch-
Ter, the daughter of a German waiter.
The suspicion that the child was
choked to death, taken in connection
with the murder of Sophie Kohrer and
of In unidentified woman by strangula-
ton, leads the police to believe that
there is a maniac at large in the city
who is possessed of an insane impulse
to kill women and children BY the
same methods.
