FIEND KILLED TWO WITH BOMBS.
Farrell Calmly Admits That He Blew
Up His Own Daughter.

New York.-John Paul Farrell, a
janitor, confessed that he sent to Ber-
nard Herrera the bomb which resulted
in the death of Mrs. Herrera and seri-
GUS injury to Herrera and Miss Fught-
man, boarder.
Then Farrell astonished the police
by calmly reciting that he sent the
bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Taylor
year ago, adding that Mrs. Taylor
was his daughter. Next Farrell solved
the mystery surrounding the sending
of bomb last year to Judge Otto
Rosalsky. Finally, he explained the
death of Kid Walter, slain in 1887.
He slew Mrs. Taylor, he said, be-
cause she was his daughter and had
gone wrong. Kid Walter was killed,
he declared, by man named Le-
strange because Walker had caused
Mrs. Taylor'o downfall.

Londonderry new Servian Finch
guns are bombarding Adrianople,
says a dispatch to the Daily Mail
from Belgrade.
Fugitives from that town say that
there still are comparatively large
quantities of breadstuffs in Adrian
ople and few medical necessities
A Bulgarian aeroplane dropped
proclamations into Adrianople invit-
ing the surrender of the town.
The Turks remain on the defensive
at Chatalja and Adrianople.
The Adrianople fortress replies only
feebly to the Bulgarian bombardment
and apparently no attempt has been
made in the way of a sortie.
The Turkish newspaper Tanin as
serts that Adrianople has sufficient
provisions for four months, and other
Turkish reports declare that the fort.
ress certainly will be able to hold out
for several weeks.
Official quarters in Constantinople
radiate spirit of great confidence in
the new regime and declare that the
condition of the country and the win
try weather precludes serious opera
tions along the Chatalja lines for the
present.
Meanwhile, diplomacy has made no
step forward since the resumption OF
hostilities, and the porte has made no
further communication either to the
powers or the allies.
Should it turn out that Adrianople
can resist for any considerable time,
diplomatic negotiations are likely to
remain at standstill, although in the
European capitals settlement by
diplomacy rather than by arms is still
hoped for.
There is no confirmation of the re.
ported occupation of Scutari by the
MontenegriIs.
The Bulgarians, according to re-
ports, are retiring from the burning
village OF Chatalja, especially on the
left wing This is regarded as a STRAIT
egical movement, possibly with the
idea of drawing the Turks into TAX

size and include the mountain Sec
tions, with mining as the dominating
interest, and grazing, fruit growing

the boy, has just had kittens. What
