has given out this explanation of the
disorders at Monastir:
1.-The Adjutant Major Niazi OF the Mon
astir garrison has with an evil intent de-
serted his battalion in company with
eighty men whom he has enticed to follow
him. Since they have all banded them
selves together for the purpose of plum
der1ng the peaceful peasantry of the
country the general of division, Shemsi
Pacha. had been ordered to pursue and
capture them.
'As this general was on the point of
leaving Monastir he was assassinated by
an unknown Individual. who, according to
all probability is an acolyte Of Niazi. Fur
ther instructions have been given for the
discovery Of this escaped murderer and
the apprehension of the Niazi band. whose
capture is expected to be speedily accom-
plished.
''That section of the country is perfect
ly quiet except for three minor incidents.
and all other sensational accounts which
have appeared in certain foreign channels
are entirely untrue and purposely menda-
cious and misguiding."

Trying to Scare 'Hm Again.

In some way the employees Of the
Washington Building Lime Company,
operating extensive quarries at Bsk.
erton, this county, have received no.
tice that if Taft is elected the works
are to be continued; otherwise, there
is to be nothing doing in the way of
employment there. Nobody seems to
know just who hands out these proph.
ecies to the men employed there, but
their purpose is very evident. This is
a plain case of coercion, and whether
it is being employed by the officials of
the company or by political workers
among the men. those guilty Of it
should be held up to public contempt
if not actually indicted fora crime no
lees heinous than bribery. Thus far
this campaign this is the only case of
the kind reported in the county, and
we are inclined to the belief that even
in this instance the officials of the
Washington Building Lime Company
are Innocent. The coercion practice
is probably being conducted by polit-
ical busybodies not connected official
ly with the company .-Carles To,on

A very distressing tragedy was en-
acted last Sunday about noon. when
James Buchanan Lucas, a we'll
known resident of this section. ended
his own life at bis home about three
miles south of Shepherdstown. Mr..
Lucas had been living at his place
along the Duffields road almost alone.
the only other occupant of the house
being Grady Henry. Lsst Sunday
about noon while Henry was in the
kitchen preparing dinner he heard 3
fall in an adjoining room, and upon
investigating found Mr.. Lucas lying
upon the floor. Blood was flowing
from a wound in his neck, and the
penknife with which the wound was
made was lying nearby. Mr.. Lucas
had taken the small blade Of the knife
and pierced his neck, severing the
jugular vein, and he quickly bled to
death. he was still living when Hen
ry discovered him, but he expired be-
fore assistance could be summoned.
After hearing the facts, it VAS decli.
ed at an INQUEST was unnecessary.
There was much regret among our
people when the sad event became
known. Mr.. Lucas, when free from
the habit that doubtless led to the
tragedy, was a most courteous, genial
gentleman, with many personal quail
tiles that endeared him to wide cir.
Gle Of friends. Kind. hearted, intelli.
gent, afable. it hss often been said of
him that there was not a more genu-
insly polite man in this section, and
he had many friends who greatly es-
teemed him. he was a member of
one of Jefferson county's oldest and
most prominent families, his ancestors
having bsen among the earliest set
tiers Of this section. BE was Con-
fsderate veteran, having served dur
ing the Civil War in Harry Gilmore's
battalion.
Mr.. Lucas, who was 81 years Of
age, is survived by his wife, three
sons and one daughter. Also one
sister, who is now the last survivor of
her family. The funeral was held on
Tuesday from the home Of his cousin, |
