New York. Sept. 24.-Dr. NJ. Simbad
Gabriel, president Of the Armenian
General Progressive Association in the
United States, has received from Nu-
bar Pasha, representative in Paris of
the Katholikos, or head Of the Arme-
MAN church, advices in regard to the
massacres of the Armenians in Tur-
key in which it is stated that Chris
tan martyrdom has at no time as
sumed such colossal proportions.
Appeal to United States

nople and Athens and contain an ap-
peal to the United States ito inter-

DR.. Gabriel. in making public the
letters today, said that from informa-
ton contained in them and from other
reports he had received directly he
estimated that 100000 Armenials had
been put to death and 100000 rendered
homeless or exiled. out of a popula-
ton Of 100000.
Atrocities "UnbeIiev able"
What has occurred in a few months

Pasha, in transmitting the correspond
ence. "is unbelievable. The great mas
sacres Of Abdul Hamid seem insignifi-
cant compared to the recent atroci-
ties, which are without precedent in
the history of our nations martyrol-

the humiliation Of the whole people.

A letter from the Constantinople source
says that Armenians in all the cities
and villages of the province of SILICA
have been deported en- masse to the des-
ert regions south of Aleppo
"Moslems have occupied the lands and
houses abandoned by the Armenians,
the letter reads.
THE deported are not allowed to car
ry with them anything. They have to
travel on foot distances requiring a
month or two of walking in order to ar
rive at the desert assigned for their
habitaton. where they will find no
houses, no work, no livelihood, but their
graves.
Let it be borne in mind that the per-
sons from 80 to As are at the front. Those
from As to 60 are employed in the mill

the required sums for exemption from
military service, they have been either
exiled or imprisoned on some pretext'

enabled thieves to enter the place
last night. They used a ladder TO
reach the second roof and to lower
themselves into the store through a
skylight.
The value of the goods stolen will
probably reach 500 or $500. William
Keer said today that it win be i'm
possible TO state the value of the
loot until a complete inventory of
the merchandise in the store is taken,
but places the loss roughly at around
$500. A number of silver match
boxes, as well as a quantity of silver
pieces of various kinds are missing.
Lieutenant Joseph a. Pagan, of po-
lice headquarters. made preliminary
examination of the place, when the
robbery was reported to Captain
Eonneli. The ladder was found lying
IN the rear Of the Keer store. Lieu

Besides the ladder. the only clues

Litigation Over Estate
Of Wealthy Seabright Man,
Started in 1901, Discontinued

Litigation started in Chancery in
1901 over the estate of Lemue! Smith.
4 wealthy man of Seabright, who
died In 1889. was settled yesterday
afternoon, and a discontinuance has
been filed in the Office of the clerk in
Trenton.
When he died Lemuel Smith left a
large property skirting both sides
or the Shrewsbury river, and, in adj
dition. a large personal estate. He
left three children, Lemnel Smith, jr.,
Maude A. Smith, now the wife of
Sheriff William H. Thompson, of Nor
ris county. and Josephine. wife of
John 8. w Thompson, of Morristown.
In his will Mr. Smith had desig
mated John s. w. Thompson as his
executor. He also charged his son
Lemnel with $4,000 advancements-
In adjusting the claims of the three
heirs, Mr.. Thompson was confronted
with the charge for advancements
against his brother-in-law, and came
to the conclusion that these offset his
claim for a share.
Therefore, on October 20, 1890,
deed was prepared, and signed by
Lemuel Smith, by the terms of which
he not only released any claim he had
to the real estate, but the whole of
his share in the personality.
