DARK WAR CLOUDS
Again Gathering Over the Nations
of Europe.
Russia Looms up as the Arbifer of all
Hie European Continent.
London, Sept. 6.—sir J, Fergusson,
Under Foreign Secretary, stated in the
House of Commons this afternoon that a
change in the Government of Bulgaria can
only occur in accordance with the treaty of
Berlin, and with the consent of the signa
tory Powers to that treaty. England, he
said, had no separate interests in reference
_to Bulgaria. The election of a new Prince
of Bulgaria must be unanimous. fCheers. |
The Government, said the speaker, had
hoped much from the ability and great
Qualities of Prince Alexander, a ltd they
deplored the treachery and violence which
had interrupted his reign. His final de
cision to abandon his work in Bulgaria
was greatly regretted. Prince Alexander
will to-morrow proclaim his abdication.
The Russian Consulates in Bulgaria are dis
tributing for signature petitions to the C/.ar
favoring the election of the Prince of Olden
burg as successor to Prince Alexander.
Prince Alexander’s decision to abdicate
is attributed partly to loss of vigor of
mind consequent upon the severe trials
which he has undergone lately. It is be
lieved that his departure from Bulgaria is
likely to result in civil war- Before Prince
Alexander announced his intention to
quit the throne he received a telegram
from Prince Bismarck recommending that
he abdicate in order to save Bulgaria.
The Morning Post says: We greatly doubt.
whether Prince Bismarck’s policy will
insure the p* ace of Europe. Europe will
have no peace until the wrongs Russia
has inflicted on a risingpeople are avenged.
Whatever may be the reasons which in
duced Prince Bismarck to sacrifice Prince
■Alexander to the personal animosity of
the Czar, we can not believe that Europe
will approve a policy tending to make the
Czar arbiter of the whole continent. The
Chronicle blames Prince Bismarck for
creating the present critical situation, and
says the clouds in the Balkans are darker
and more lurid than ever.
A Celestial Wanderer.
New Yokk, Sept. 6.—Last evening a bril
liant meteor was observable in New York
and Brooklyn. It lirst appeared in the
southern sky, where it looked like a planet.
This star-like body was brighter than
the ruoon. When first noticed the me
teor had no perceptible motion, but stead
ily increased apparently in size and bril
liancy. After an interval of perhaps halt
a minute from the time it was lirst observ
ed a motion was noticeable. Slowly but
steadily it passed from south to north
across the eastern sky. Usually meteors
have a spasmodic and rapid motion and
disappear suddenly. This meteor retained
its brilliancy long after it had reached the
northeast, where it seemed gradually to
dissolve into space A slight train of fire
followed in it* wake.

SHAKY HOUSE.
A Startling Phenomenon for Scientists to
Solve.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 7.—An attempt will
be made at once to induce one of the Gov
ernment scientists now at Washington to
visit the Pondtown district of Dodge
County, in this State, where a shaking
house is attracting great attention.
The structure is the home of ‘•Wool"
Parker, a white planter. The house
is an unpretentious one, having but
one room, and is built of hewn
logs. Some two or three weeks ago, with
out any apparent cause whatever, the
building commenced to shake, and the oc
cupants rushed out thinking it was going
to fall, but it didn’t. It continued to shake,
however, for about two hours. The cups
on the table were turned over, the clock on
the mantel was stopped, and. in fact, near
ly everv thing in the house was
thrown into great disorder at intervals
of about two hours. Mr. Parker and the
people in the vicinity are now convinced
that the phenomenon was a forerunner of
the earthquake, and the greatest excite
ment prevails, as the house continues shak
ing and the fear has gained wide credence
that a geyser or other volcanic horror will
spring from the ground beneath the struc
ture.
BURIED ALIVE.
-Shocking Accident to a Young Couple in a
Cemetery.
Porti.anti, Mr., Sept. 7. —A young couple
were strolling through the Western Ceme
tery to-day when the molderiug woodwork
over a large tomb gave way, and they fell
sixteen feet downward among the dead.
The tomb was filled with bodies. The
unfortunate couple were alone in the
cemetery, and could do nothing except
shout, and at last Mr. James McDonald
found them wedged in between coffins.
Had the accident occurred a little later,
they might have remained for hours in this
terrible place, as very few persons visit
that part of the grounds. Both were badly
injured, and the young lady received what,
it is feared, may prove to be a groat men
tal as well as physical shock.
Power of the Earthquake..
Charleston, 8. C.. Bept. 7.—The best
illustration of the terrific power of the
shock is given in one house in Rutledge
street. Two children were asleep in a
trundle-bed about eighteen inches high.
A mahogany wardrobe stood against the
wall by the side of the bed. The earth
quake threw this wardrobe across the bed
without injuring the children, and stood it
npside down against the wall upon the
other side. In Professor Sheppard’s house,
a solid marble fireplace was burst out with
terrific violence and thrown against the
opposite wall in small fragments. A small
piece of the mantel .was left adhering to
the wall, and upon this piece sat a bottle
of ink uudisturbq^.
Cadets on Trial.
West Point, N. Y., Sept. 7.—A number
ot cadets are being tried by court-martial
for indulging in a “rush,” contrary to
General Merritt’s order prohibiting such
amusements. It has been customary for
cadets returning from vacations to be
boisterously met by their fellow-cadets,
and to be made to fight their way into the
Academy grounds. In the encounter siik
hats, canes, etc., suffer severely, and
broken noses are not rare. General Mer
ritt forbade the practice, but when the
furloughed cadets returned a few day» ago
the usual reception awaited them. The
boys now claim that they did not intend
to be disobedient, but were carried away
by the excitement of the occasion. The de
fense begins to-day.

Riotous Tramps.
Bt. Paul, Minn., Sept. 7. —Campbell, this
State, is in the hands of a mob of tramps,
and the officials are unable to withstand
them. The Governor has been appealed to
for aid, and it is expected. Campbell is
the county seat of Wilking County, and
is off the line of telegraph communi
cation. The mob is pillaging stores
and doing other acts of deviltry without
cheek. It shows a disposition to fight, and
a conflict is likely when reinforcements
from neighboring towns arrive. The whole
surrounding country is greatly excited,
and a reply from the Governor ordering
troops to the scene is auxiously awaited.
Dangerous Phenomenon in Cuba.
Havana, Bept. 7. —Several springs have
recently appeared near the village of Cei

tations and factories are already sut>-
merged, and the water, which is now three
feet deep, is slowly invading the village. A
large portion of the inhabitants have left
the town. The civil Governor of Havana
and the municipal Architect have gone to
the scene.

IOWA’S CURIOSITY.
The Great Well Still Flowing:, ami Efforl*
to Plug ft Prove Unavailing:.
Belle P..ain, la., Sept. s.— The groat well
still flows. For a short time last evening it
was partially shut off. The great cone,
having been enlarged to thirty-six iuebes,
was lowered full of sand. It went easily
for sixty feet, when it became necessary to
drive it, and the 1,600-pound hammer was
applied to the five-inch pipe connected with
the cone. This pipe stood thirty feet above
the surface. After a few strokes had been
sjiven, the flow of water was so much dimin
ished that the people began to shako hands
and many bags of sand were thrown in to
give additional weight to the cone to till up
the apertures. The big hammer was again
applied and after a few strokes the pipe
shot down into the water like a rocket does
upward. A swift gush of water, a gurgle
and the hopes of all were buried out of
sight with the cone and its connecting pipe.
The sixteen-inch pipe heretofore mentioned
is at the bottom, and the belief is that th«
cone has gone down until it struck. That,
would leave it 130 feet from the bottom and
*-he upper end forty feet from the surface.
RUSSIA TRIUMPHS.
Prince Alexander Voluntarily Abdicates

ioFiA, Sept s.—Prince Alexander has
publicly announced his intention of abdi
cating. He says he can not remain in Bui
garia on account of the objections of the
Czar. Before leaving he will establish a
regency. He made the following address
at a reception given by him to the officers
of the arm}': “For seven years I have
labored for the independence and
interests of Bulgaria. My con
stant special solicitude has been for my
army and officers. I consider them my
family, my children, and I have felt secure
in my personal position when I have seen
myself surrounded by officers who had been
my comrades in our struggles for the glory
of Bulgaria. * * * I can not remain in Bul
garia, for the Czar will not permit me, be
cause my presence is inimical to the inter
ests of the country. I am forced to quit
the throne.”

MURDER AS A BUSINESS.
Female Fiend Who Confesses to Com
mitting Infanticide for Money.
Milwaukee, Wis,, Sept. s.—The finding
of a dead infant with a daruing-needlo
thrust through its heart has led to the dis
closure that a regular business of putting
babes to death at so much per head has

Mittelstaedt, proprietress of a private ly
ing-in hospital, fled a few weeks ago upon
ascertaining that the authorities had
