H. H. Malloy, sentenced in Florida to
five years for robbery. He has com

Thomas L. Eads, sentenced iu Indiana

Pittsburg, July 29.—Major AT; Hi am
C. Moreland, ox-city attorney, convicted
of the embezzlement of city funds, was
sentenced to pay a fine of |25,900 and
undergo three years imprisonment in
the Riverside penitentiary. His assist
ant, W. H. House, was fined 81,000 and
two years to the penitentiary. While
the shortage upon which Messrs. More
land and House wore convicted was only
826,900, the amount of Moreland’s fine,
there was between $300 and 8400 unac
counted for on the hooks of the city.
Tlie Pickets Around the Town Have Been
Largely Increased, Owing to the Assemb

hood—Imperial Reinforcements 3Iay Be
l?e:it to tlie Oity’s Assistance.
.ponpon, July 29.—A dispatch from
Gape Town reports that intelligence re
ceived from Buluwayo is that the Mata-
hfiles are a pain massing around that
place. The situation seems no better
than it was last April, when Buluwayo
was practically beseiged for weeks. V i-
rious operations, some of them reported
as highly successful, and in which Cecil
Rhodes was an active figure, have been
conducted against the insurgent natives,
but they were apparently ineffectual in
stamping out the disaffection.
The news received from Captain Nich
olson discloses positive reverses in the
Matoppo hills, and the withdrawal or
retreat of his forces deepens dissatisfac
tion with "the state of affairs in Rhode
sia.
Reports from Buluwayo are that Cap
tain Nicholson is remaining there in or
der to guard the laager, and that the
pickets around the town have had to bo
largely increased, owing to the massing
of hostile natives in the neighborhood.
A telegram from Gwello, reported in
a dispatch fruin Cape Town, says that
Major Murrel left there on July 12 to
join the force at Fort Victoria. He had
a sharp engagement with the enemy at
Peliuqne, which lasted four hours.
Three of the troops were killed, and Ma
jor Murrell afterward joined the forces
at Fort Victoria :uid proceeded further
toward Noema’s Kraal. Heavy firing
has since been heard, but the result of
the engagement was not known at
Gwello when the telegram was dis
patched. The unfavorable news from
Rhodesia renews the suggestions for the
dispatches of additional imperial forces
to assist against the Matabeles.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has
shown himself loth to'agree to this step,
it is believed on political grounds, owing
to the jealous fears certain to be aroused
in the Transvaal. Those would not bq
lessened if the imperial reinforcements
were to be sent at this time, by the fact
that Cecil Rhodes is on the ground, and
with practically a free hand.
HERBERT’S DECISION.
: Objects to tha Shipment of munitions of
M'ar From Greece to Crete.
Constantinople, July 29.—As a ro-
i suit of a cabinet council, the Turkish
I government has just made a formal
| complaint to the government of Gi’eeco
i regarding the alleged shipment of arms
and ammunition from Greece to the
island of Cx - ete for the use of insurgents
there, and relative to the appearance of
armed bands in Macedonia, pointing
out the danger therefrom to tlie peace
of Europe and adding that Greece would
be held responsible for it.
The Turkish government also an
nounced that- it had decided to grant
limited concessions to the Cretans, and
that they will be allowed representa
tion.
The powers, it is stated, have decided
to send a cblleetive note to Greece, de
claring that the government of the lat
ter country must- suppress the matters
complained of by the T rkish govern
ment, adding that otherwise the sultan
of Turkey would be left to restore order
in Crete.
It is rumored here that the Turlnsh
government intends to dispatch a force
of Albanians against the Greek filibus
tered, a step which will undoubtedly
add considerably to the gravity of the
situation.

Tlio Secret ary of the Navy Disapproves the
Findings of a Court martial.
Washington, July 29.—Tlie secretary
of the navy has disapproved the pro
ceedings, findings and sentence of dis-
mi sal imposed by courtmartial, held at
Mare. Island, Cal., recently on Pa-t As
sistant Paymaster E. B. Webster, lately
attached to the Yorktown ou the China
station. The officer was accused of
having retained a bond exacted from
his pay clerk, W. J. Tobin, after hav
ing dismissed the clerk.
The secretary finds that there were
grave informalities in the proceedings
of the court which convicted the officer,
and moreover inclines to the belief,
based principally upon the testimony
of their engineer, Harrie Webster, a
brother officer on the Yorktown, that
the money, amounting to 82,500, placed
in the paymaster’s hands by Tobin’s
mother, was technically a loan aud not
a bond.
For these reasons he reverses the find
ings of the court and restores. Webster
to duty, but he takes occasion to say
that the transaction, in any sense iu
which it may he viewed, is disgraceful
to Paymaster Webster and to the navy
aud in spirit a violation of the statute
prohibiting any officer to take money
for procuring an appointment.
It was scandalous, in any case, says
the secretary, that Webster could fail
to pay back after the termination of
Tobin’s service of the money received
by him in consideration for his appoint
ment as clerk, and should he for any
great length of time persist iu this fail
ure the department may be expected to
proceed further in this matter.
A Russian Count Suicides In ^Neiv York.
New York, July 29.—Roman J. Sou-
bof, claiming to be a journalist of Bos
ton and a Russian count, committed
suicide in a cell of a police station here.
Soubuf was about 25 years of age. He
was arrested as he was about to sail for
Europe on board the American line
steamer New York, the allegation being
that he owed a hotel bill of 8590. He
pleaded with the complainant to with
draw the charge, as it was very impor
tant that he should go to Europe at once
aud he paid 8250 on account. Tlie offi
cer who served the warrant would not
listen to talk of compromise, saying that
the case was out of the hotelkeeper’s
hands and he took Soubof to the station
where he was 1 naked up. Soon after
Soubof was found dead, having hanged
himself with his pocketl handkerchief.

The United Slates Supervising Inspector
Making an Investigation.
San Francisco, July 29.—An investi
gation into the wreck of the Pacific
mail steamship Columbia lias com
menced before Captain W. S. Birming
ham, United States supervi-ing in
spector for this district. The testimony
of several officers taken has a tendency
to fix the blame more definitely than
has already been clone.
The officers detail what they know of
the condition of the steamer and how
she was running at the time. In gen
eral tlie testimony was to the effect that
tiie Columbia was iu good condition
and was, shortly before tlie crash upon
tlie rocks, running in excellent order
and under proper management.
The officei’s were unanimous in de
claring the night was foggy and many
bewildering fog signals misguide l them
until the vessel was upon the l’ocks and
beyond all hope. The warning whistle,
it was thought, was sounded from pass
ing vessels and not from fog stations
upon the rocks.

Cuban War News.
Washington, July 29.—The Ameri
can flag appears to have become a signal
for insult and attack in the Spanish ter
ritory of Cuba, instead of a guarantee of
protection to American citizens residing
there. This is shown by the story of a
lady who has just come to the state de
partment with a claim for assistance.
She is Senora Maria Dolores de Durio,
heiress and executor of the late Dr.
Louis T. Stocker of Philadelphia, who
owned a large property in his own city
as well as extensive estates iu Cuba.
Her husband’s grandfather was born
in Philadelphia, and her husband was
an American citizen. She was born in
Spain, but was naturalized as an Ameri
can citizen in 1877. She wants S'-’00,000
damages from tlie Spanish government
for the injuries and indignities she has
received, including the destruction of
her sugar plantations in the districts of
Quemado de Guines and Rancho Yelos,
in the province of Santa Clara. Her
papers-bear tlie official signature of
General Fitzhngh Lee, as consul general.
Senora de Durio says that about three
months ago Spanish irregular forces,
under Jese Trujillo aud Demetris Percy,
devastated her plantation with fire be
cause she was known to favor Cuban
independence and kept the American
flag flying over her residence at Carata.
On another occasion she says she was
shot at by Spanish soldiei’s while lying
in bed. with lic-r granddaughter. The
buliet clipped a curl from the little one’s
head, and, passing through a partition,
lodged iu the wall of an adjoining cham
ber.
She was fired upon three other times
by Spanish troops, and had a narrow
escape from deatii in one instance. The
captain of the troops at that time gave
as an c-xcuse that tlie American flag was
flying over her house, and he thought
that she had no light to put it there.

Perilous Times In Germany.
According to a correspondent in Ber
lin, English residents in Germany have
found it specially necessary of late to be
guarded in their remarks about political
events when in public places. He states
that, to his knowledge, one Englishman
was haled off to tlie police court for an
alleged indiscreet reference to the em
peror, uttered while about to sit down
to dinner, and had to pay a fine of 10
marks by way of licrsd’ceuvre. A story,
which is, no donbt, ben trovato, was
then being told in the English clubs.
An Englishman was taxed by a German
police officer with publicly using an un
complimentary epithet with re^ird to
the emperor. ‘‘You are quite mistaken,
I assure you,” said the Englishman; “I
was talking of tbe emperor of China!”
‘‘Nein;das geht nicht,” retorted the
offioial—“there is only one emperor who
is—well, who does such things.”
A Chance to Mf.ke Monty.
I have berries, grapes and peaches
a year old, fresh as when picked.
I use the California Cold process
do not heat or seal the fruit, just
put it up cold, keeps perfectly fresh,
and costs almost nothing; can put
up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 120
families; anyone will pay a dollar
for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit, As there
are many people poor like myself,
I consider it my duty to- give my
experience to such, and fee! confi
dent anyone can make one cr.two
hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sample of
fruit and complete directions, to
any of your readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of the samples, postage,

/ladlson County Farmer Shoots His Wife,
Four Children and Himself.
Roystox, Ga., July 23.—Dave Borry-
mau, a well known farmer, murdered
his wife, shot down his four children
aud theu blew out his own braius, at
his home in Madison county, five miles
south of this place, and between Elber-
ton aud Toccoa, late Tuesday afternoon.
„ The tragedy has no .parallel in the
criminal annals of the state. Just what
caused the awful deed is not known,
and perhaps will never be, as no eye
witnesses lives to tell the story. But it
is supposed that Berryman, inflamed
with intoxicants and enraged by the
chiding of his wife because of his atten
tions to another woman, became sud
denly insane and decided to annihilate
his whole family.
When the neighbors rushd in after the
awful discovery was made, three of the
little children were found on one side of
the room piled in a mangled mass, their
heads blown from their bodies. A few
feet away lay the lacerated corpse of the
mother, and across her breast was the
body of her infant, its baby fingers
clutching in death its mother’s hair,
matted with gore.
On the bed near by was fonnd tho
body of Berryman. After killing his
family, he had deliberately reloaded his
gun, walked across the room, viewed
the result of his horrible work, sat
down upou the bed and emptied tho
contents of Ins breechloadiug gun into
his own head.
An examination of the bodies of his
victims showed that the throat of the
eldest boy was gashed with tne blade of
a small knife. It was thought that
Berryman began his work of 'annihila
tion with a knife first, but finding it too
slow, decided to use his gnu.
Berryman was a man well known in
this section. He had many relatives
who are prominent m Madison county
and belouged to a family of six brothers
and six sisters. His father is one of tho
oldest citizens of this county, and neither
to him nor to his aged wife has tho
news of the crime been made known.

Spoons Free to AU.
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St Louis, Mo., would give an ele
gant plated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful
that I showed it to my friends, and
made $13 in two hours, taking or
ders for tho spoon. The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot
slip into the dish- or cooking vessel,
being held in place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first invented.
Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money around home.
