Monastir, Macedonia, Sept. 22 (via
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 28.—Snow has
fallen on the higher mountain ranges,
and the refugees must either leave Vheir
hiding places or suffer the greatest hard
ships. The Turkish troops continue tc
•laughter refugees who return to their
former homes at the invitation of the
government, which promises them pro

the neighborhood of Resna, troops found
16 returned refugees working in a

They bound their hands, drove them
Into a ditch, and massacred 14 of the

Wltbdrnral of Slilpn Vnllkely.
Washington, Sept.
.28.—Withdrawal
of
the American warships from Beirut
seems unlikely for the present, in view
of a cablegram received at the state de
partment Saturday from Minister Leish
man, at Constantinople, stating that al
though his advices from Beirut indi
cate that the situation is quiet just now,
nothing like permanent order has been
established. Mr. Leishman says that th«
state of affairs there may yet be regard
ed as uncertain.
Rear Admiral Cotton, commanding th«
European squadron, cables the navy de
partment, under date of Beirut, Septem
ber 25, that Beirut is quiet, and that thu
case of the American vice consul is still
pending.
It is Indicated in Mr. Leishman's cable
gram that the departure of the war
ships might be the occasion for a re
newal of the riots. This confirms the
opinion held here by the state depart
ment officials that the quiet at Beirut
Is due directly to the presence of Amer
ican warships off that port.
Minister Leishman adds that the new
governor of Beirut is actively inaugu
rating reforms there, but that it Is not
yet certain he will be able to handle the
situation. How far he has the backing
of the porte in his activities in behall
of foreigners and their interests Is not
stated.

THE
Fiends Who Committed Dastardly
Crime in Pennsylvania Are
Not Yet Located.
FORMER EMPLOYES OF COMPANY
HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AS SUSPECTS
,Claim They Can Prove Their Inno*
cence—Excitement In High and
Armed Searching Parties Are on
the Trail, Bat Are Without Any
Clewa.
Washington, Pa., Sept. 28.—There
are no further developments in the
jdastardly crime resulting in the mur
der and robbery of Contractor Fer
guson on the West Middletown road
Friday afternoon. The two men who
were apprehended as suspects of the
deed are now in the Washington Jail.
They were identified as Frank Francis
and Joseph Huston, former employes
at the Ferguson camp. They disclaim
any knowledge of the crime and say
that on Thursday night they slept in
McClay's schoolho.ise, about four miles
northwest of this place, and on the
main road to West Middletown. They
say they can prove that they had noth-
ing to do with the robbery of the tool
house, which was entered by the men
who fixed the fuse that blew Ferguson
to death.
The abandoned mine on the Patter
son farm, near the scene of the trag
edy, which was supposed to have been
used as a refuge by the criminals, tf&s
closely guarded all night, and Satur
day morning was thoroughly explored
without any evidence being discovered
that the men had been hiding there,
and the searchers left satisfied that
the mine was empty.
Early Saturday John Welsh, a resi
dent of West Middletown, found the
satchel in which Contractor Ferguson
had carried the money. It was rifled
of the roll of bills amounting to about
j)3,500. Some |20 in silver were left
In It, also some valuable papers. A
coat, vest and collar were also found,
but it is not yet known to whom
they belonged. Mr. Welsh found the
satchel at nine o'clock Saturday morn
ing in a cornfield a little north of the
scene of the explosion. It had evident
ly been rifled shortly after the tragedy
by the man who was seen by Louis
Liggett, the farmer working near the
scene who guarded his treasure with
a drawn revolver and was allowed to
go unmolested for that reason.
Mr. Martin, the bookkeeper of the
Ferguson Construction company, who
was in the buggy with Mr. Ferguson
and seriously injured, did not rest well
Friday night and Saturday morning
was complaining of pain in his side.
The excitement in Washington coun
ty is very high and general indigna
tion is expressed. No such crime, so
Ingenious, so scientifically executed
aud so tragic In its results has ever
been recorded in this section. Many
citizens formed independent armed
searching parties and went on the
trail of the fugitive desperadoes.
A Fiendish Murder.
Washington, Pa„ Sept. 28.—One of
the most fiendish and bloodthirsty
murders and robbery in the history of
Washington county occurred Friday
afternoon on the Middletown road, about
15 miles from here. Samuel T. Fer
guson, of the Ferguson Construction
company, of Pittsburg, was Instantly
killed and his secretary, Charles L.
Martin, of Cincinnati, was fatally in
jured. The two men were driving along
the road In a buggy, carrying $3,600 in
cash, with which to pay off some of their
men employed on construction work
along the line of the Wabash railroad,
when suddenly an explosion of dynamite
in the roadway literally tore the rig to
pieces, killed Ferguson outright and
threw Martin 200 feet and tearing his left
arm almost from the socket.

REVIEW OF WEEK'S TRADE I
Conditions Are Uncertain, But Vol
ume of Business Large.
The Sklfplaa Facilities Are lleavlljr
Taxed to Keep Pace with the
'Demands of Distributors.
New York, Sept. 28—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory
features the volume of trade continues
targe and the distribution of merchan
dise taxes shipping facilities. An
nouncement of a concerted effort to re
strict production of pig iron Indicates
that supplies have begun to accumu
late. Railway earnings continue to
show gains, for September thus far,
exceeding last year's by 8.7 per cent,
and those of 1901 by 17.2 per cent
Traffic blockade occurred to some ex
tent, although the movement of farm
products is still unseasonably small.
New labor controversies have begun,
but a number of serious troubles have
been averted, and on the whole the
number of men idle voluntarily has
diminished. Enforced idleness in the
iron and steel industry is more than
offset by the resumption of spindles
at cotton mills, and there is great ac
tivity at footwear factories, although
the margin of profit is narrow. Lower
prices for the leading agricultural sta
ples Indicate a general belief in im
proved crop prospects.

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 28.—Peace was
patched up between the Buchanan and
Parks factions in the International As
sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Work Workers at their annual conven-1
tlon Saturday forenoon. I
President Buchanan had scarcely'
called the convention to order in regu-1
lar session when the Parks' crowd ex
pressed! a desire to ignore the proceed
ings of their own rump convention Fri
day, and proceed in a regular way.
Then the convention took a formal vote
on the motion to reconsider the vote
which Daniel Brophy, a member of local
No. 2, and who held a proxy from Scran
ton, Pa., had been seated.
Brophy was unseated by a good major-!
ity. As he rose to leave the hall, Sam
uel Parks advanced toward him with ex
tended hand. Brophy. refused to shake
hands with the New York walking dele
gate until the latter apologized for the
stinging words directed against Brophy
on Thursday. This Parks did fully/
and when the door closed upon Brophy,
the convention settled down for the first
peaceable session since they convened
last Monday.
The convention was formally organ
ized, and stopped long enough to listen
to the annual address of President Bu
chanan, which was to have been deliv
ered on Tuesday.,
Later Mr. Brophy was invited to at
tend the sessions of the convention,
in which, however, he was to have no
vote. He declined this offer and out
side the convention said: "I will go
back to New York and fight Sam
Parks and his element The majority
of the structural iron and bridge work
ers of iiew York are opposed to them.
The majority want Parks and his fol
lowers out of the union, and I will in

CELEBRATE ITS CENTENNIAL
City of Chicago Is Now One Hun
dred Years Old.

Programme Will Continue Until the
Flr»t of October—Many Vlaltora
Are Preaent.
Chicago, Sept 28.—This city has be
gun a six-day celebration of its one
hundredth anniversary. A century
ago the first spadeful of earth was
flung in preparing to build Fort Dear
born.
To commemorate that simple event
Chicago's two millions, aided by hun
dreds of thousands of visitors, will
ffut In the time until next Thursday
night recalling early days, reviving
ancient memories and honoring the
pioneers who made possible the Chi
icago of to-day.
I For the next five days the old log
blockhouse, the A in Chicago's alpha
bet, will cease to be the mere dot on
the horizon of time it appears to the
'busy Chicagoan in the dizzy whirl of
the present day, and will stand a more
fcape,
rominent feature of the mental land
at least, than any sky-plerclng
building of the city.
At two o'clock Friday afternoon the
centennial began with the formal
dedication of nine historical tablets de
pleting notable events in the annals
of the city. Exercises -were held at the
public library, where a tablet portray
ing the first and second Forts Dear
born was unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies.
Until the evening of October 1 the
city will be given over to a celebration
of its growth from a solitary log hut,
which sheltered the handful of hardy
invaders of the wilderness from sav
ages and wild beasts, to a splendid city,
the greatest industrial center of the
world.
As honored guests of the city the de
scendants of the Klnzles', the Whist
lers, the Swearingens and others
Identified with the birth of Chicago
are here to participate in the celebra
tion. Delegations representing other
cities, which years ago smiled at Chi
cago's challenge in the race for su
premacy, are also guests, acknowledg
ing Chicago's greatness.
Perfect weather marked the begin
ning of the municipal festival, although
there was a taste of unpleasant wind.
The buildings in the downtown dis
trict were gayly decorated for the oc
casion. Flags and shields, the natlonTs
colors and the city's emblem, enliven
the dull brick and stone in the com
mercial center. Many residences, too,
display banners and bunting in honor
of the season set aside to point- to
past achievements*
