Nine ty-four dead rebels were found inside, among them being General Azanza. one , of the revolutionary leaders, whose head had been blown off by a shell It is impossible to render an idea of th p carnage which occurred at this point. At the same time General Rivas, General Gomez’s chief lieutenant, with 2,500 men succeeded tn destroying a barricade erected around the Miranda plaza, the key to the capitol, where all the survivors of the revolution were concentrated.

When the inhabitants of the commercial and foreign parts of the city saw the advance of the government troops, they all abandoned their homes and sought refuge in other parts of rhe I I city, crossing the streets amidst a showers of bullets and sheila, women ; carrying their children, the strong | helping the weak Many men wanting . to protect the women fell, struck by bullets. The governor generals hav Ing effected a jugmffon of their forces, north and south end having received further supplies of ammunition, de elded to push the attack on the center of the city. About this time the gov ernment troops had captured the north side of Alameda, the public park of Ciudad Bolivar, which had been de fended by a double row of barricades Behind one of these were found more than thirty dead soldiers lying on top of each other,, while wounded men were seen on all sides The govern | meet commanders seeing that only ’ the artillery could make a breach In the barricades of Alameda, ordered twelve guns to open fire on them, and at the same time the fieet which had changed Its anchorage so as to bring its guns to bear effectively on the city, opened fire.

INDICTMENTS FOUND. Two Important Bills Returned in Breathitt County. Jackson. Ky. July 22.—The grand jury last night returned indictments against Edward Tharp and Joseph Crawford, teamsters for the Hargis Brothers, for arson. They were already [ held on the charge of setting fire to Ewen's hotel last month. An indictment was also returned against Gardner Plummer for attempting to bribe a witness. It is charged that he offered B. J. Ewen $5,000 to leave town, so that he could not testi fy in the trial of Curtis Jett and I Thomas White. It is currently reported that L. T. Bolin, who is well known here, as well as Ewen, testified before the grand jury yesterday as to who I was to furnish the money that was offered to Ewen by Plummer, and that i two well-known county officials were named in the grand jury room. As the grand jury is continuing its sessions after returning true bills in the arson and bribery cases, it is generally believed that the investigation is extend ing into other capital offenses in con nection with the sued. Plummer is said to have shown Ewen the $5,000 in view and bearing of two concealed witnesses. Ewen and Bolin were the only witnesses against Plummer, though another man who it is said saw the transaction will appeal when the case is called for trial. Fears for his life keep him silent at this ! time. The two witnesses were in a closet in Ewen's hotel parlor when the alleged bribe was offered. BRIDE SHED NO TEARS. !

'RUSSIAN PILGRIMS. HOW AGED PEASANTS ATTAIN CASTE IN THEIR VILLAGES. They Travel Far Away ta Pray at Distant Shrine, and Monasteries, The Holy Places They Visit and at Whleh They Are Fed and Lodged. When the snows of winter melt In Russia and the woods are fragrant with violets and the ice In groat masses floats down the rivers to the sea the peasant who is on the threshold of old age. tired of long Inaction, comes forth from his Izba and looks abroad. Strange thoughts have been stirring in him for several months, recollections of a vow that he once made that, if heaven willed, he would one day worship in ' a certain monastery and there venerate the relics of its saints. For many a long year It seemed as if this vow would never be fulfllled, for there was work to do in the village of which he could in no way rid himself, and still more pressing was the burden of a numeious family that could not lie left But now the children have grown np and can fend for themselves, and the father and mother are no longer of the same value to the community as labor- , ers. Indeed were they to , )U it the viilage they would not be much missed. One way. however, remains for them to redeem their lost position and to en title themselves for ths rest of their lives to the respect of all tbelr neighbora. It is to go on a far distant pi). , grimage. F 1 ’“"“tuerable are tlie sacred places In Russia and out of Russia which the Pilgrims Visit.

And when Saturday arrives, snd all good people are bound by their religion to take a hath, then men and women will plunge into the river regardless of the want of bathing machines and careless of all bathing regulations.
