SHELBY VI LLE. Ind.. Jan. 17. The excitement of the saloon war, which has engaged the attention of all classes of citizens, is about quieted except that it still forma the one topic of conversation. Both sides remain firm In -their determination to succeed, and both are gathering reinforcements from unexpected quarters. The cases have all been postponed until next week, when It Is hoped no more trouble of a serious kind will occur. Detectives Simpson and Weirick have gone to Indianapolis and will not return to this city until next week, when their trials will take place. The entire day to-day was spent by the police committee and Prosecuting Attorney Campbell In completing the necessary papers to try the remaining violators. The better class of citizens are coming forward en masse to encourage and a3ist Marshal Sparks and Mayor Enos in their efforts to enforce the law and preserve order. The marshal to-day appointed a number of men to assist him in keeping peace whenever occasion demanded. The agitation for the formation of a permanent good citizens' league is being pushed. On the other hand, the saloon men are Dot Idle, but are forming their plans and organizing their sympathizers to defeat the officers and their spotters in any way and by any means they can. One of the local evening papers to-night announces that there is an undercurrent at work to cause trouble when these fellows (Simpson and "Weirick) return here. Meetings are being held. It Is said, and an organization perfected, the object of which la to determine what will be the best mode of attack on the spotters. This movement the Haloon men are said to know nothing about and to disapprove of, but it is being done Just the same." An Indianapolis rr.orning paper in its special from this city this morning does Dr. J. It. Clayton, captain of the militia company, a gross injustice in its use of his name. He denies emphatically that he is opposed to the city authorities, but says he Is. as he always has bt-en, for the preservation of law and order and tho enforcement of all the lawa of the Siate. A purse is beinr ralsei by citizens to employ additional legal advlco on the Cases, and more money can be had for the asking. LOSS All OCT fUO.OOO. Five Hanlnr Room at Oakland City Destroyed by Fire.

HARROWING STORIES

TWO LETTERS FROM ARMENIA DEPICTING RECEXT MASSACRES. Fiendish Acts of the Turkish Mobs at Cesarea and Van Another Appeal to Americans. NEW YORK. Jan. 17. The Armenian Relief Association maaa pubUc to-night two leters which describe the horrors of tho recent massacres in Turkey. One Is dated Cesarea, Nov. SO, 1S0C. It says: "While the Armenians were engaged in their business as usual, the Turkish mob fell on them, killing six hundred defenseless men, .and wounding a thousand more. The mob divide! into four parts. The first plundered the stores; the second looted the houses; tho third secured the maidens and young brides, while the fourth, nenis incarnate, attacked the public baths. These human devils killed six naked women in the presence of the others, snatching their babies from their arms and bayoneting the mothers. The shrieks anl agonizing iHm of thoA Tnnr rreatures mad? no im pression on the minds of the savage Turks, who laughed at their death agonies. They then took some of the young girls who were with their mothers at tne baths, and dragged them naked, by their feet through the streets, followed by a jeering and hooting mob. The Turks who attacked the houses then killed them and fired their houses. The cry of the women in their distress mingled with the hoars shouts of the Turks ma3e a sound that can never be forgotten. The men who survived the sword were discovered, taken to the magistrate and searched, but no arms were found in their possession, not even a knife. When released and allowed to return to their homes, they were confronted by a most ghastly picture. Some found their wives dead, others horribly mutilate!: daughters outraged and bleeding. My hands almost fall me to write the awful particulars. It is impossible to describe it. It took three or four days to remove the bodies of the 'dead with forty carts. Adi to this the want, the desolation. Oh. my God, for how long, hew long. Where are those Christian powers who saved African slaves? Where are thoso Christians who advocated brotherly love and mercy, senling their missionaries to teach U3. Are they deaf to our piercing cry?" ' The second 1-tter is dated Van, Armenia, Nov. 11, 1S95. It says: "The Armenians have determined not to be slaughtered like sheep, but to defend themselves as best thev may. After the massacre in 'Paghesh five or six hundred Armenians frathereJ In an Inn and the government soldiers were called to conduct them to their homes, but instead they were taken to the courtyard of the government buildings and a few of them only were set at liberty after signing by coercion the statement 'that Turks are not sruilty. as Armenians ma le the first attack The Turks gave similar reasons for massaerelng the Armenians in the surrounding country. Near Harpoot even villages were compelled to accept Mohammedans and also near Van. The entire population of the two villages were forced to change their religion. Eight villaeres near Van have been entirely depooulated. most of the Inhabitants were killed, and those who survived escaped to the snow-covered mountains, where thev now wander with their children, naked and starving. The men who were forced to accept Mohammadism hav been compellel to tak their own slstt r-ln-taw whose husbands have been k'lled. to wife, a practice most horrible to the Christians. vho hate polygamy. Thev are also compelled to plunder and kill their Armenian brethren to show that their conversion to Mohammedanism is genuine. The j'oung maidens of these villages ar carried into the Pasha's harem. The Kurds have atta?ked the same village over and over to make their work of destruction complete. Tlr country has been reduced to such absolute novertv that there is no money In the treasury. The Armenians are unable to pay taxes, ps they have no stores, no harvest fields. The Kurds also will dUne to give their taxe. as they are all enlisted in the Hamldi. The government is unable to pay for the transportation of the army and the Governor of Van has not- received hi? monthlv py for six months. This is the nrorVcv of a still worse fate In store for us, for the reason that the government wil? Insist upon monev being rMvl and a ve cannot pay we will be oorsHerel as rebellious and a massacre will follow." ANOTHER APrRAIi TO . AMERICANS. Forelpn MIssIonnry Hoards on the J Ontrnjgen fn Armcnin. NEW YORK, Jan. 17. The representa tives of the foreign missionary boards and societies In the United States and Canada who have been In conference In this city for several days, concluded their work to-day. The following resolutions re garding the Armenian sufferers were adopted: "Resolved. That in the Judgment of the conference the appeal for relief Is most urgent and lavs a sacred obligation not only on every' Christian, but also on every citizen of the civilized world. "Resolved, That we recommend to tne pastors and churches of the several denominations which we represent that earn est prayers to Almighty God be made in behalf of that suffering land, and that generous gifts be promptly sent to the relief of that suffering. "Resolved. That we authorize an appeal In the name of the foreign mission boards of the United States to the government at Washington to exert its full influence in all legitimate ways to bring the massacres to a speedy end and to guard the missionary interests Imperiled thereby." The secretary of the meeting read tne following letter from an American now in Turkey: "Are you poople aware of the fact that some fifty thousand in number, unarmed, inoffensive Christianpeople have been slaughtered in cold blcjod; that at least 200.000 women and ehSldrn have been rendered absolutely destitute tlLeverythln2 but the scanty clothing in wftth they escaped the massacre, and many oTv4bem even stripped naked? Do they reallzethefact of thousands of Christian men and women freely accepting death rather than deny their Savior, and that the persecutors are preventing charitable aid being given to starving women and children in order to force them to become Moslems? Do they knew the fact, which has been published both In England and America, that these things are done, by direct order from the palace by the most unmitigated tyrant that ever sat upon the throne of Osman. "There Is an opportunity for most righteous intervention. Not only to save the lives of imperiled missionaries, but to save Christian people from ruthless slaughter, the decent nations of the earth should send lleets to Turkey to exact from the abominable tyrant who rules that empire safety and decent treatment for his Christian subjects. The United States sent an expedition to Japan to say in effect: 'No nation has a right, to shut itself from the fellowship of the other nations cf the earth. That was a new departure. Rut ;t was richt, and It has had far-reaching results. This and other Christian nations have a right, nnd it has become a duty, the pressing duty of the hour, to say to Turkey: 'You must stop butchering Christain people. The right of men to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences must be recognized. If it, is necessary to establish this right by our fleets !n your hirbors. and. our armies on your soil, it will be done.' " AX OCEAN GREYHOUND.

Two Female Car Cleaners Killed, Two Others and a Man Fatally Hurt. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-A light engine ran into a crowd of car cleaners who were walking on tho track of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at One Hundred and Forty-second street to-day, killing two women and injuring two other women and a man so badly they will prob ably die. This Is the list of dead and in jured: Dad Lizzio Becker, thirty-six years old: Delia Mahan, thirty-six years old. injured Maria DruuY slxty-nve years old. internal Injuries: Maggie Tracey. Uiirtyrive years old, right leg cut oil; Louis Ven der, or Ao. 419 west Forty-second sirett. bom legs broken. At the point where the accident occurred the road runs through a cut on the west side of which there Is a high embankment and on the east side a high stone wall, cn the top of which there Is an iron railing. The car cleaners had met at the Molt Haven station of the road and were on their way to the car yard' at One Hundred and Sixtieth street and Vanderbilt avenue. Yender, Tracey and Druft were employed by tho New York Central, the Manan woman by the Warner Palace Car Company and the Becker woman by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. They had reached One Hundred and Forty-second street when the Cnatham express on the New York, New Haven & Hartford . road came thundering down. The sweepers iterjued aside to let it pass. The train was a long one and its noise drowned all others :n the ears of the working people so that the light engine coming up the north-bound track was not observed. Just as the exori.su had whisked by the engine struck .hem. The chorus of horrible shrieks. was rhe iirst intimation the engineer had of the calamity. The Becker and Mahan women vere ground under the wheels of tho engine and the others were thrown against the stone wall. . . ' WHAT CHICAGO WILL GET. . It Will lie Given n "Few" Seats in the Democratic Convention. ' Special in Chicago Post. All that Chicago will get besides the privilege of footing the bills will be from l,5uo to 1.800 seats in the convention. When tuj hard terms of the national committee were flrst made known to the Chicago delegation last niht there was a hurried consultation "hich resulted in the decision that the delegation had not fun authority to act for ad tne subscribers to such an extent. They were willing to go as far as they could, but in order that there might be no excuse for subsequent kicking it was determined 10 send a dispatch to Judge Adlal Evvfcig asking him to rustle around among the big subscribers at the home base and see what they thought about it. At 12 o'clock today a telegram from Judge Ewing was received to the effect that the subscribers would stand the Toast" and authorizing the delegation to go in and get the convention. Telegrams from individual subscribers had been received from Potter Palmer and other heavy weights of the same tenor. Then Judge Goodrich, Erskine M. Phelps, Martin J. Russell, Joseph Donnersberj;er and Ben Oablo sat down to recapitulate. They found they were 519,000 "shy" of the 550,000 cash guaranty, and there was a terrific straining to . raise the additional amount. At 2 o'clock headway was reported, but the Illinois Central, City RailAay, Alley "L" and the big hotel proprietors gave up grudgingly. Perspiration ran in copious streams down the face of the delegation, and iNatlonal Committeeman Cable was directed to try and bluff the national committee with the $10,000 ante. At last accounts he was not quite sure that the proposition would be accepted, but he noticed that the wrinkled front of the committee was getting smoother, and Mr. Phelps was gratified to learn that the bristles adorning the back of the 'critter" were beginning to curl with contentment and satisfaction over the thought that there had been nothing a porcine appetite could suggest that had tiot been cheerfully given up. Stril, iMr. Cable thought it would be better if the added $10,000 could in some way be gathered in, and efforts in that direction were not relaxed. The trouble over this cash business was all tho fault of New York. The Democracy of New York came over to Washington with money to burn, and the national committee was assured that any amount that might be nee-led would b put up to the credit of the treasury of that body. That was before New York "quit," but the other cities in tho race had to keep up the pace set. They were held right down to substantially the terms proposed by New York. The national committee was not going to give up any "lead pipe cinch" cf that sort. Not much, and it was "come to the center cr eet out of the game." The language quoted was that employed by jue.?e Goodrich Illustrative of the situation, and he promised to send along a "key" to nnvbodv who couldn't understand it. And then he added. "the committee won't let us 'owe if either.' another phrase requiring a key to enable the rlshteous to comprehend fully its meaning. These legal terms often confuse the minds of laymen. 31 0 Ml 0 12 DIED IX POVERTY. . i Mrs. Monroe n Famous Belle at Home nnd Abroad. New York Press. President Monroe's wife was a New York woman, his daughter married a New York man, and in tnis city he spent some of the happiest days of his life, finally dying here m poverty m ikw. After the revolution, Monroe, then a young man of twenty-three. who had reached a captaincy In the Continental army, came to New York as delegate from Virginia to Congress, then sitting here. HM family antecedents and his personal aiiress procured him access to all the bent society of the city, and he was a well known figure at ail social "functions" of the "Republican court." Lawrence Kort right was a "swagger" personage In the little New lork of lnat day. and his daugh ter Eliza was known throughout the Re public a a reigning belle, celebrated for her beauty ana accomplishments. It was a stately society in New York which "the President and Lady Washington" led. and In which Captain Monroe was a gay cavalier. When he and Miss Kortright stepped a minuet at balls where wax candles shed lustre on women in powdered hair and brocaded skirts, and gentlemen In wigs and gold-laced velvet coats, all society declared they were just cut out for each other. They thought so, too, and so they were married. It was a crreat wedding, attended by all the gentry, and was fc-e crowning social event of the gay winter which succeeded washlnxrton's first inauguration. Subse quently, when Monroe was in Europe on Uij.)iuilia lit-. uuaiur,. jit a. a 1 1 ii i vj- n ckl ui. tlnsrulshed for her beauty and her patrician carriage at the courts of Spain and England and in the French capital. When Monroe became President. Mrs. Monroe created a social revolution by re fusing to return social calls. Great was the row and the rumpus over what the ultra Democrats callea an affectation of royalty. but Mrs. Monroe persisted, and each suc ceeding "Lady of tho White House" has followed her example. So great was the disturbance over Mrs. Monroe's refusal to return calls that John Quincy Adams drew un a formula of social procedure, which has ever since regulated the etiquette of the social life of the national capital. Mrs. Monroe spent nearly ten years of her

ife In Europe and her daughters were edu

cated In France. The eller. Eliza, was a classmate and friend of Hortcnse de Btauharnals, afterward Queen of Holland and mother of Napoleon 112. Mrs. Monroe's sister married Nicholas Gouverneur, and their son Samuel Gouverneur, for nine years postmaster of New York, married the President's younger daughter, Maria. Maria was a young and beautiful bride when she came to New York as Mrs. Gouverneur, and was warmly received by society. She went to houseKeeping in a large cricK nouse at u. Prince street, and all the wealth and the fashion of the city flocked to her receptions. The house is still standing. Presi dent Monroe was much In New York in his two terms of office, and society was especially stately and magnificent when he was in town, in 125 President Monroe retired from the Presidency, and went to a place which he had bought in Loudon county, Va., called Oak Hill. Here he hoped to end his days as a country gentleman,' keeping up something of the state with which he had been nearly all his life surrounded. But now the evil days came upon him. Ill health and pecuniary troubles "harassed him night and day. For five years he fought against bodily infirmities and the harassment or debts. Then. In 1S3). Mrs. Monroe died, and he gave up the unequal fight. Old, lonely, sick ana penniless, he came to New iorK to pass the. few remaining months of his life, a pensioner upon his son-in-law. He died at his son-in-law's house, on Prince street. on juiy 4, isjl and was buried in the Marble Cemetery. His grave was made directly In front of the big iron gate opening from Second street, and an unimposing fiat slab of marble was placed over it. The t;evenui uegiment escorted his remains to Richmond, Va.. In IKS. His body was placed in Hollywood Cemetery, resting place or an tnat is mortal of some ib.oou v lrglnlans, in a tomb upon an eminence over looking the muddy waters of the Historic James.

Wise Tel 1m n Gruesome Yarn to the Reformer. Washington Post. They w?re telling a story about the com mittee rooms yesterday setting forth what jonn a. ise, oi V irginia, saja to ineoaore jiooseveit. "Koosev-elt," said Wise, after they had mutuaily shaken hands and expressed themselves as delighted to meet they had Known each otner a long time "Roosevelt, in your crusading and s-peechmaking and the Interviews you publish you remind me mightily of a story. There was a man fell dead in Union Square one day and carted to the morgue. Xo one knew, him, although later a party took a look at him and aid that while by no m-ans sure he thought deceased was a man named Jones, from Troy. "The officials wired the Jones family at Troy, informing the Joneses that they had the dead body of the head of the family and asking what was to be done. The Jones family "wired back: 'Embalm father and nut him in a rose wood casket. We will be down in New York to-morrow. "Next day two of Jones's sons showed up at the undertaker's who had been called by the New York officials to take charge of the corpse and carried out the wired Instructions of the Jones family. The un dertaker was all smiles and subdued urbanity, and received the two sons as nleasantly as he might and still be professediy mournrui. 'rne .sons shook hands with the man of caskets, weeping silently the while. " 'Would you like to take a look at the body before I box it up to go back to Troy? asked the undertaker. "es. the Jones sons thought they would. As the undertaker removed the bandages from the face of the departed, so as to permit the grief-bitten children a view, the lower jaw dropped gruesomely and disclosed a set of false teeth. At this the younger son started convulsively, and pointing at the teeth said: " 'Urother. look here. That's not father at all; It's somebody else. Father never had false teeth. "It certainly is not father." said the elder of the two. 'and. of course, as It isn't father, father must be alive and well. This is a joyful hour, brother; let us repair to a saloon and become exceedingly drunk In Its honor. " 'Put hold on.' shouted the undertaker. as the two Joneses, no longer bereaved. were snout starting away to act on the bibulous suggestion cf the elder; 'hold on; who's going to pay me for all this good embalming fluid, and this excellent rose wood casket T " 'Surely, not we responded the Joneses. 'We wired you to embalm father and confer on him a coffln. But this is not father. w e owe you nothing. hatever you have done for the poor stranger, who lies here, you must iook to him to square. The Jones household will not meet any bills of his contracting.' "Then the two Joneses went away, and were at once presently embarked on a spree. "After they had left the undertaker turned to deceased and addressed him, 'And it Is here, said Wiso to Roosevelt, 'whera you come In.' " 'Now see what you've done said the undertaker. Indignantly, as he shook a reproachful forefinger at the silent clay before hlra. 'Now. see what you've ud and done. As the game stood, you were about to nave a swell funeral, with a grave in a high-priced lot. You were to have a rosewood casket as your last envelope, and your last resting place would have been adorned with a monument that would have been out of sight. And you up and spoiled It all. Now, you're going to get a pine box instead cf rosewood, and be carted awav to a grave In the Potter's field, there to sleep unwept, unhonored and unsulng. And whj do I ask? What has worked this serious and dismal change in your fortunes? It's simply because you couldn t keep your mouth shut.' "And'concluded Wise, as he laid a sympathetic hand on the young reformer's shoulder, "as I look at you, Roosevelt, and think how, one short year ago, you were the pet of party, you who are to-day an orphan of politics, a fashion of political foundling whom everybody is trying to ftave on everybody else's doorstep, and reif.ember how your fortunes were changed, I cannot but think of that individual who dropped dead in Union square. You, like the corpse, might have been buried proudly In the cemetery of the Republican party. Now you, like he, will fill a grave in some Potter's field of politics, and all because you, like he, couldn't keep your mouth shut." CHICAGO AXD THE 31 EAT BtSIXESS. With n Few Remarks on the Traffic In "Old Hobs.' Washington Post. Chicago is constantly aiding to her voluminous list of claims upon the Nation's gratitude. From an early period in her phenomenal career she has been the meat center of this country ar.d a great exporter of carnlverous food tvt foreign lands. For many years she was content with supplying her millions of patrons with salted meats, and she still transacts a large business la that line. But the invention of the refrigerator car opened up a new and great field, which she promptly occupied, and for some decades past Chicago dressed beef, as well as fresh pork and mutton, has been served on most of the tables throughout the most populous sections of the United States. There Is. however, no limit to the ambition of the Northwestern metropolis. In the matter of meats she brooks no rivalry ar.d safely denes competition, .he not only Alls all existing wants, but. with equal zeal and success, applies herself to the creation of new wants,, and thereby adds new branches to the gigantic structure of her meat industry. When, as a result of various causes, the supply of horses began to exceed the demand, the question of utilizing horse flesh for food was. fcr the first time, a topic of general dI.-us?ion In all parts of the United States. There were reports of establishments on the Pacific coast, where horse meat was -canned for export; but there seemed to be very little inclination on the part of our own people tj indulge in filly steaks, gelding roasts, stallion stews, or any other variety of equine nj?h. Such was the situation, but that phase has passed away. The enterprise of Chicago has solved the horse meat problem, and the prediction is conf.dently made that in a few weeks, or, at most, a few months, the people of Washington and all other Kastern cities will te able to buy Chicago dressed horse in their retail markets. The plan adopted to bring about this reform was simple, but Its efficacy Is believed to have been demonstrated. It consisted In the creation of a local demand. "Let us popularize horse meat here at home and the movement will spread," was the philosophical basia of the boom. Last week an ordinance was Introduced in the Chicago City Council providing for the Inspection of hore meat offered for sale. , It was voted down on the ground that Its passage would be an acknowledgment that such meat was sold In Chicago. But It will come up again and be adopted, as It ought to be. It is stated that the Chicago packers and shippers of beef unanimously indorse the proposed ordinance. They say that riulte a considerable local trade j revalls in horse meat, and they ask that the Council shall provide for its sale as horse meat and not as beef. Some one who has
