More Bloody Massacres in Armenia.

Their lJodies Thrown Into Wells by the Itlomltliirsty Turks A Panic Revived In Constantinople and the Armenians Ave .Aysiiu Flocking Into the Churches—For-.ji-'i Embassies' Cr.rtls Disregarded.

LONDON, Oct. 1.—A dispatch to The Daily News from Constantinople says: Reliable news has been received here than- 50 Armenians were killed and a number wounded at Akhissar, on the Anatolian railway, by a Moslem inob. The slaughter occurred oil Oct. 9, which "was market day, when many Armenian uad garnered from adjacent villages. Early in the morning a Turkish rough, finding that the Armenians were not armed, pick a quarrel and shot one of the men. There was then raised on all sided the cry of "Why hesitate to massacre tl?£ infidels?"

A iiuib of Turks, armed with revolvers and knives, then looted the market and massacred the elpless Armenians. Their bodies were thrown into the wells.

It is stated that the Mudir was responsible for the attack. No women or children were injured, probably on account of the arrival of Kaimaikan from the village of Gieve, three miles distant, who made valiant efforts at the risk of his own life to save the Christians. Otherwise the slaughter would have been complete.

The panic is reviving in Constaninople on account of the continued isolated attack, and the Armenians are again flocking into the churches. The police disregard the s^fe conduct cards given to the Armenians by the foreign embassies and they insult and maltreat the holders of them.

The Constantinople correspondent of The Standard blames the Armenian revolutionary committees for forcing the Armenians to close their shops and to maintain the appearance of a panic when the Armenians themselves are ready to resume business. "I visited the prison," the correspondent says, "and questioned the prisoners and found that there was no serious complaint against the police. The inspecting commission sent a list of 56 prisoners for liberation while I was there. The revolutionary leaders are responsible for the continuation of the deadlock."

RAPIST LYNCHED.

Jeff Ellis Summarily Dealt With at the Hands of a Mob. MEMPHIS, Oct. 16.—Jeff Ellis, the ne

gro who brutally assaulted a woman, was captured yesterday near Hot Springs, Miss., and taken back to Baden. On the way he confessed as to this offense and also says he assaulted ana murdered Mrs. Wilcox of the same locality some time ago. In this case the woman's husband went crazy from the shock and died in an asylum. Ellis added that he had tried to assault a young girl while escaping into Mississippi, but did not succeed.

The report of Ellis' capture had reached Baden before the officers arrived and when they reached that place at 1:30 o'clock this morning a mob had formed numbering 300 people from Galloway, Braden, Mason, Summit and neighboring towns. The officers were compelled to give up their prisoner and the torture was at once begun. His fingers, his toes and his nose were cut off. He was tortured in many other ways and finally hanged to the nearest telegraph pole, after which his body was riddled with bullets.

of Hamilton Johnson shot and fatally

Commission Accomplishes

rff

I'* Purpose.

W ABHINWTON, Oct. 16.—Minister DenI by and tne British minister to China have succeeded in overcoming the obstacles which threatened to make the

Ku-Cheng commission a failure so far as it was intended to secure the punishment of the Chinese who were guilty of participation in the riots at thac place, wherein much damage was done to missionary property and great indignitits heaped upon the missionaries.

At each stage the commission has been hindered in prosecuting its inquiries by tlie local Chinese official's, and the viceroy of the province of SzeChuan himself has stood in the way of the punishment of the guilty parties. Finally appeal was made to the Tsung-Li-Yamtn, directly, and that body lias acceeded to the demands of the ministers, as was evidenced by a cablegram received at the state department yesterday from Mr. Denby at Pekin, which is Substantially as follows: "Seventeen criminals will be executed at Ku-Cheng. The Yamen agrees that all leaders in the rioting shall be executed 'that all participants shall be sentenced, and all those implicated sh.Jl be tried. The commission will probably be adjourned. An imperial decree has

been issued which refers till of the SzeChuan officials implicated to aboard for punishment."

It is supposed that the adjournment of the commission Deferred to is based on the fact that it has concluded its work. It has been found impossible heretofore to induce the Chinese government to take any steps to punish the officials, whom the facts clearly showed to be in a large measure responsible for the riots'.
