FLAYED TO THE WAIST His Flesh cut out, Cooked and Eaten by Savege Turks Whilethe Lion-hearted Hero Still Lived. Atrocities Tiflis, Russian Transcaucasia, December 18.—A letter which ap pears in a paper here states that for 19 days the residents of Armen ian villages, where the outrages were perpetrated, fought against the Kurds. The Armenians lost on ly 10 warriors while the Kurds lost 569. When the regular troops, under Zekki Pasha, appeared the Armenians were compelled to suc cumb. A iter Zekki Pasha’s treachery in offering peace, 60 young Armenian men were seized and tortured hor ribly for three days. Then all were murdered and their bodies buried in a ditch. Among the Armenian heroes who lost their lives, the writer mentions Derbodros, who, with his own hand, killed seven Kurds in fair fight. He was captur ed and fleyed to the waist. Pieces of his flesh were cut off and broiled and eaten by the savage Turks whiSe he was still alive. ARE HUNTING FOR HIM, And if Caught he Will be Lynched. Dogs on Track of him.

The Insurgents in Brezil-Moraes Very Easily. New York, December 18. — A special cable from Buenos Ayres, Argentine, says: Admiral de Mel lo says he will leave here after January Ist, to assume command of the Brazilian revolutionary forces. A cablegram form Montevideo says that the grand council of the Brazilian revolutionary junta has decided to forward arms and am munition as fast as possible to the rebel forces and push the war vig orously against President Moraes, because his peace propositions are not considered to have been made in good faith, and he is pursuing the same policy as ex-Presidant Peixoto adopted. Amnesty, if of ferd, will come too late. No con fidence wiil be felt in any meat in which Peixoto has influ ence. Governor Castilho, of,Rio Grande do Sul, ’was nearly captured by the rebels at Rio Pardo. Fourteen of his escorts were killed. Castilho’s escape was due to the fleetness of his horse. President Moraes is very tm easy, a Rio Janeiro telegram reports. ■Since he discovered a plot to place Peixoto again in power. Several persons arrested at Rio Janeiro aie said to have confessed to partici pation. Peixoto, several of his former ministers and one member of the present cabinet are impli cated in the conspiracy. The reb els expect to capture Port Alegre soon and then the rebel fleet will appear, having its base of opera tions there, a-»d active naval oper ations will begin. Advices from Kio Grand® do Sul state that four prisoners caught by Governor Castilho’s escort were horribly butchered, and, it is as serted, by his orders, though this is disputed. Tfee rebels also are committing ateocities on prison ers. The war is feeing waged in a manner worthy *®f Turks. some Crucified. Japanese Charge That Prsoners Were Pat to Death. Washington, D®c. 18.—Fuller formation concerning th® reported massacre of Chimese by Ja; ane e troops after the fall of Port Arthur was recieved by th® Japanese Min ister, Mr. Koriag, this morning from Mr. Mutsu, minister of for eign affairs at Tokio. Mr. Mutsu says in his dispatch that the government is not yet in possession of all the facts ab >ut the alledged atrocities, but that many details have been ascertaind. What is known to Mutsu* as stated in the cable message, is as follows: “Many of the Chinese soldiers at Port Arthur, and from outlying, fortifications, taken by the Japan- j ese discarded their uniforms and it is now known to acertainty to be! the case that almost all of those Chinese in plain clothes who were killed there were soldiers in dis guise. The inhabitants of Port Ar thur left before the engagement. A few remained, however, under one’s to resist the Japanese by firing upon them. This they did and in the confusion of the fight it was impossible to distinguish them from Chinese soldiers. The Japanese army entering Pori Arthur was greatly excited by the sight of the fearfully mutilated bodies of the Japanese prisoners, some of whom had been burned alive and some cruoified. Never theless, the discipline of the army was maintained. A number of Chi nese pris n rs were taken and kind ly treated, The wounded (Chinese or Japanese) who could be moved I are on their way to Tokio and will arrive in a few days.” THE ELECTIONS. Will the Law Passed by the Last Legislature Effect the JANUARY ELECTION Several Express Opinions up on The Subjsct--lt is Rath er an Enigma as it Ap pears in The Con stitutio ir In the Atlanta Constitution of last Sunday, there is a very inter esting resume of the most impor tant work accomplished by the last legislature. One paragraph occurs concerning the holding of state elections, and this law as it stands has an impor tant hearing on the coming county elections. Below is the clause as it appears in full: “The legislature has decided that hereafter aM state elections shall be held in O it flier. This pro videsthat the c un ry elections heretofore h'*!d in J *nuarv shall be held in October, sod <lo j s away with the mu’tifud ■ of elections, leaving only the naimial elections separate from the others. ’ No* the question which is agi tating the minds of nnnv t% hoy it will effect the January elections iu this county. Ther., >s ’.ejthing, in tne paragraph that would mdi cute any immediate exception to the rule. If the elections f or this counts are posponed uot.il next October it will threw the existing “el* o' ion customs all out of gear, and create much confusion. A very prominent lawyer said this morning upon this line: “1 do not understand why this matter has not received more at tention from the public. If that is the bill as it appears in full, then tha January elections will amount to nothing- Bud lam of the opin on that there his to be a consti tutional amendment to change the law. Any way it won’t do harm to get tlhe people thinking about.” Others have expressed opinions almost similar to the above. The general idea is that the law does not bear up on the January elec tion. As it is, it wi 1 cause many to look up tlyft law, and see just what it is. row I desire to inform my Friends and Patrons and the Public gener ly, that my elegant line of WOOLENS Has been received,and are now open for all spection, Ana 1 willfur ther s ate that I am now better prepaid than ever >o turn out FIRST CLASS WORK A?tl> Lllf GN (««, At pr.ces never before heard of in RomT, S.M.
