CONFIRMATION OF MASSACRES BY BULGARIANS Salonika, July 16. Full confirma tion of the reported sacking and burn ing of the Macedonian town of Seres by the fleeing Bulgarian troops and the crucifixion, hacking to death or burning alive by them of any of the Inhabitants has been sent to Austro Hungarian government by Consul General August Krai, of Salonika. Three-fourths of the formerly flour ishing town of about 30,000 inhabit ants is a mass of smoking ruins, says Consul General Krai, who has just re turned here from Seres, where he thoroughly investigated the situation. He had been ordered to inquire into the plundering and burning of the Austrian vice consulate there and the carrying off of "Vice Consul George C. Zlatko by the marauding Bulgarians. Another horrifying story of massacre reached here today from Doiran, a town forty miles northwest of Saloni ka. Mussulmans there have made a written declaration, countersigned by three local Bulgarian priests, stating that the Bulgarians slaughtered 30, 000 Mussulmans who had sought re fuge in Doiran from the surrounding districts.

RUTHERFORD AGAIN UNDERCHARGES Veteran Fire Fighter Must Go On Carpet Third Time in Year Capt George Rutherford of Truck Co. 3, for the third time within a year, must answer the charge of being ab sent from duty without leave and it is predicted that if the charge is sus tained, it "will go hard with the veteran fire fighter. A similar charge has been made against Hoeeman John Gaffney of No. 9 company and tooth men have been suspended pending a hearing before the commissioners on Monday. Richard Elwood of No. 10 engine company must also go before the board to answer the charge of failure to obey orders of Capt. J. H. Long. Capt. Rutherford was before the commissioners on April 11 on charge of failing to answer an alarm and absenting himself from duty without leave. He pleaded guilty and threw himself on the mercy of the board. The commissioners fined him $300 to be deducted from his pay at the rate of $50 per month, deprived him of all days off for three months and voted to allow him to take off but one day at a time during the next three months' instead of having his four days off consecutively. After Capt.. Rutherford had paid three months fine, the board decided not to take out any more money from his pay. July 1, Capt. Rutherford took hie first? four consecutive days off and has not reported for duty since. Hoseman Gaffney Is reported to have asked. for extra leave of absence after returning from his "days off" on Sun-' day morning. He pleaded sickness in his family and failed to report for duty Monday morning. Chief Mooney after an investigation suspended Gaffney. PLAY CAPT.

' (Special to The Farmer) The folly of canoeing In the night! time even though the moon is shin ing brightly and the course is appar ently discernable for a good distance ahead, was proven Tuesday night when a couple out paddling in a canoe off Walnut beach ran upon a submerged rock or snag In the water, tore a hole In the canvas flooring of the craft, and but for the fact that they were both good swimmers, would undoubt edly have drowned .before help could have reached them.- The two young people who are mem bers of a party stopping at one of the Walnut beach cottages went out in the canoe about 9 o'clock. The tide was high and so they naturally con cluded - there was no, danger of run ning aground. They did not figure on a jagged rock -or broken limb of a tree sticking up almost to the surface of the water and when they ran upon It they were paddling at, such a good clip that the canoe was ripped open for a distance of nearly six feet along its keel. ' , The canoes filled almost immediately and the young man and woman had to swim for the shore. The canoe was later pulled ashore and repaired. MOTORISTS SLACKEN SPEED The agitation to stop auto speeding along the Broadway at Walnut and Laurel beach is beginning to show re sults. The residents recently agreed to "boycott" those -motortists who con tinued to speed back and forth from Walnut 'beach station to points along the beach with their fares and the "boycott" worked admirably, the driv ers of the machines in order to get cottagers to patronize them, being com pelled to travel through the beaches at a reasonable rate of .speed.

It was the vitriol in the atmosphere that brought the great roof of Charing Cross station down with a crash a few years ago. The engine smoke had eat en away the iron, which was ihsum ciently painted. And some years ago. before the London underground was electrified, It was a great joke at one of the stations for passengers to go and poke umbrellas into a certain iron girder, which at one point was nearly as soft as putty. Paint is in such cases the engineer's great standby. In some 'Ways paint is more powerful than iron. Many London buildings might be said to be practically-held together by paint. , particularly railway stations. Pear son's Weekly. Lang Willie's Retort. A Scotch caddie is almost certain to be a shrewd observer of men and things, and he is frequently gifted with a sharp tongue of his own. Lang Willie was for many years a well known figure on the St. Andrews golf links. On the occasion of Louis Kossuth's visit to St Andrews a pub lic dinner was given in his honor, and Willie applied for a ticket to the bailie who was in charge of the arrange ments. The worthy man curtly re fused the application, saying to Willie that It was "no place for the likes of him to be at the dinner." "No for the likes of me!" was W1I lie's indignant rejoinder. "I've been in the company of gentlemen. from 11 to 4 o'clock maist days for the last thirty year, and that's mair than you can say." Blowing Out an Egg.
