New and Interesting Happenings Within Our Borders.

THROUGH A BRIDGE.

The Engine Went But the Engineer and Fireman Escaped by Jumping.

LIMA, O., Dec. 31. - The south-bound passenger train on the Lima North- ern road was wrecked on the Sugar Creek bridge by the engine crash- ing through the bridge, one of the spans of which gave away. The en- gineer and firemen jumped before the engine went through, being warned by the timbers sinking. The engine fortunately broke loose from the train and none of the cars followed. The pilot of the engine is in the mud 20 feet below and standing perpendicular in the air. Traffic is blocked.

The Blizzard at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 31. - The bliz- zard struck this city with great fury about 8:15 o'clock Monday evening. Up to this time for nearly 24 hours there had been a steady down pour of rain, when the wind veered suddenly to the northwest, blowing a great gale, bringing with it a fine snow. The force of the wind was so great that it was difficult for pedestrians to keep their feet, and the streets were soon comparatively deserted. Street signs were tossed about in all directions.

Blizzard in Northern Ohio.

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 31. - A blizzard ri- valing in intensity the snowstorm of February, 1894, when Toledo was snow- bound for three days, was raging over Northwestern Ohio Monday night. Street car and railroad traffic is great- ly impeded and the prospects were that few trains would get through Monday night. The local weather bureau says there is likely to be no relief from the storm for at least 15 hours.

Coal Barges Sunk.

GALLIPOLIS, O., Dec. 31. - The big twoboat Bearer, with a tow of 11 coal- boats, sunk a fuel flat and two coal- boats just above Kanawha Bar, three miles above Gallipolis. The terrific wind and blinding snow made it al- most impossible to handle the tow. About 80,000 bushels of coal were lost. The John F. Walton barely succeeded in making a landing.

Child Smothered to Death.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 31. - When 7-weeks- old Leona Schwartz, whose parents live at 1402 Bremen street, was put to bed Monday night and tucked under a heap of bedclothes she was in perfect health. Tuesday morning she was dead. Cor- oner Haerr was notified and made an investigation. He gave it as his opin- ion that she was smothered by the bed- clothes.

Freight Train Demolished.

GALLIPOLIS, O., Dec. 31. - A south- bound local freight on the Kanawha and Michigan jumped the track near Addison, this county, Tuesday morn- ing, and a bad smash-up was the re- sult. Five loaded box cars were de- molished and the track strewn with debris. Traffic will be delayed on the Hocking Valley and K. and M. six hours.

Mining Rates in Ohio Settled.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 31. - At midnight the miners receded from their position and a committee representing the min- ers agreed to accept the resolution of the operators to pay cash twice a month. This acceptance will be rati- fied by the convention Tuesday, and the contract signed. This settles the mining rates in the state for the year 1895.

Greater Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 31. - The annexa- tion of Avondale, Clifton, Westwood, Riverside and Linwood took place very quietly Tuesday midnight. The city hall was brilliantly lighted with the 4,000 electric lights, and the watchmen and elevator men were in their places to show visitors around. All church and fire bells were rung at midnight.

Lorain sued for Damages.

ELYRIA, O., Dec. 31. - Frank Judge Monday brought suit against the vil- lage of Lorain for $10,000 damages on account of injuries received by falling on the icy walk there in January, 1895.

Fo[?] MANY POINTS

In the Outbreaks in Armenia Explained by Recent Letters.

Four of the Fairest Young Maidens Spared in the Massacre

To Make an Acceptable Present to the Sultan - This Aroused the Armenian People to a Frenzy - The Armenian Relief Association Roasts the Powers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31. - Recent letters telling of the massacre in various Armenian cities contain certain information that helps to explain many points in the awful outbreaking of the so-called Mahometan fanaticism. A letter from Trebizond says:

Bahri Pasha, governor of [?], started to come to Constantinople, and it was learned that he was bringing with him four of the fairest young maidens of Sassoun, who had been spared in the massacre, to make an acceptable present of them to his Sultan. This aroused the Armenian populace of Trebizond to a frenzy, and it was impossible to restrain the young men, the more daring of whom fired upon Bahri Pasha, wounding him. But he carried out his mission to Constantinople, and was honored with the highest decoration and appointed governor of Adana. Afterward the pasha of Trebizond, calling 12 of the leading men of the city, commanded that they should hand over the young men who attacked the governor, and gave them just a few hours in which to carry out his order. The next day they answered him that the government had no means of finding the men out.

Then the mails had arrived and people went toward the post office, the [?] was sounded three times, and both the soldiers and the mob rushed upon the people. And this we know is only one and not even the most terrible of the massacres.

In view of the revelations as to the actual political conditions in Europe influencing the fate of the Armenian people in Turkey, the Armenian relief association in New York Monday cabled the following message to the London Times and Daily News:

Europe pushed Armenia into the month of hell and turned to celebrate Christmas. If the continental powers are dead to honor and conscience, can England forget justice? Does she not believe in Almighty God that she waits for help before stopping the wholesale assassination of Christian ministers and their flocks and the ravishing of maidens? We send 1,000 pounds to Grosvenor house committee. But what avails food when fire and sword exterminate? Shall we advise Armenians to apostatize? Surely the wrath of God and the blessing of the [?] world is a significance for the men of England. Does she no more expect them to do their duty? Christian America will support England.

THE BLIZZARD.

Much Damage Wrought at Niagara, Dunkirk, Leroy and Other Places in Northern New York.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Dec. 31. - The blizzard has done much damage here. At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning the river below the falls was over 30 feet higher than normal, and the houses on the docks were submerged. The dock on the Canadian side was swept from its foundation and thrown high upon the bank. Many of the fishermen's huts along the river were washed away. At noon the water appears to be subsiding.

At Dunkirk and Leroy, N. Y., much damage has been done by the wind. At Rochester at five o'clock the force of the wind was 31 miles an hour. Houses rocked and many lights of glass throughout the city were blown out. At eight a. m. the wind had decreased to 35 miles and brought a heavy snow squall, which still continued at 11 o'clock.

RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES

Of the Government For the First Half of the Fiscal Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. - The figures of treasury receipts and expenditures for the first half of the fiscal year, 1895, are now practically complete. The official statement to be issued on Thursday, January 2, will show approximately that the receipts for the six months were $167,500,000 and expenditures $182,500,000, making the deficit $15,000,000.

For the month of December, the receipts were light, being $26,250,000, and the expenditures $25,750,000, making an excess of receipts over expenditures of $500,000.

Because of heavy interest payments in January and the maturity of $1,3[?],000 of Pacific railroad bonds, it is anticipated that the month of January will show a deficit of $10,000,000 or $12,000,000.

MUSTERED IN.

A Battalion of Naval Reserves Take the Oath of Allegiance at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31. - The naval reserves of Illinois were mustered into the service of the state and nation Monday night. The reserves consist of a battalion of four divisions and two hundred volunteers, mostly young men in good positions socially. They took the oath of allegiance when sworn by Col. E. T. Noonan, of the governor's staff. After the men were sworn in the division officers were elected, Annapolis graduates being chosen as far as possible. The lieutenant commander will be elected within a month, and it is believed Mr. Deering, of the Deering reaper works, a graduate of Annapolis, will be chosen.

Dismissed From the Army.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. - Lieut. Samuel S. Pague, of the 15th infantry regiment was Tuesday dismissed from the army in accordance with the findings of a court-martial. The charge on which Pague was tried was based on an attempt made by him on the life of the commanding officer of his regiment, Col. Crofton, at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago. The verdict of the court-martial was "guilty," and Monday afternoon President Cleveland approved this finding. Pague was born in Ohio and was appointed to the military academy from that state. He was graduated in 1876.

High Winds at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 31. - Not since December, 1889, has Buffalo been wind-whipped as she was Tuesday. The height of the storm was reached about six o'clock when the wind was blowing 72 miles. Houses rocked, street signs were blown away and telegraph and telephone wires torn down. Fortunately the snow was light and street car traffic was not disturbed. The muddy waters of Buffalo creek were stirred into a sea and overflowed the low lands of South Buffalo. At noon the storm shows no signs of abating.

House Meets and Adjourns Until Friday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. - In the house Tuesday Chaplain Couden delivered a fitting prayer for the closing day of the present year. "Let party contentions be buried," he said, "and let our motto be one flag, one country, one God forever, with malice toward none and charity for all; let our nation stand as an example to all the world with the word 'justice' written on her brow." After the reading of the journal, on motion of Mr. Henderson (rep., Ia.) the house adjourned until Friday next.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. - For Kentucky - Fair, warmer Tuesday night; southerly winds, becoming variable.

For Ohio - Warmer Wednesday; westerly winds, becoming variable.
