THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
VENTION.
The Conventioe which assembled at
Harrisburg, on Wednesday of last week,
has created quite a flurry in politics by the
size of the canvas which it elevated to cov
er the multitude of questions that were
presented for its consideration. They de
termined to cover every thing but to pro
protect nothing. The thinker can read
and re read the resolutions.and when he is
done he will ejaculate, "nothing but emp
ty words." It is seldom that more canvas
is presented to view but it all ends in can
vas. They determined to perform unheard
of feats of equestrianism only to be laugh
at for their stupidity. We have heard
more ridicule, from the mouths of Demo-
C-ats, aimed at the Harrisburg platform
than enough What was the necessity for
this kind of cowardly performance ? The
Democratic party of Pennsylvania need
give no uncertain sound. It is no weak
ling. Its representatives fill two or three
of the prominent places in our State gov
ernment ! Its chances for success are as
good now as they hate been for years, and
yet in the face of all this, the party had to
he made ridiculous by an effort to straddle
every important question. Many of the
leaders are repudiating the Platform and
calling to their followers to stick to the
candidates without any respect to it.
The nominees, as far as we know, are
good men. Both Trunkey and Noyce are
believed to be fully competent for the pla
ces: far which they ara named With Hon
Wm. P. Schell we have been personally
acquainted for a quarter of acentury, and
we do not hesitate to say that he is both
competent and worthy. If electel he will
fill the office to the entire satisfaction of
his numerous constituencies. The only
thing that can be said against Mr. Schell
is that he is a Democrat, and if he is de
feated it will be this that will defeat him.
The Democracy feel very sanguine.
They expect to elect their ticket beyond a
doubt, and we admit there is much to en
courage them. The lethargy which per
vades the Republicans, brought about by
the policy of the President, cannot help
but be productive of bad results. If the
Republicans are defeated in Pennsylvania
this fall the cause can be squarely laid at
door of the President. We hope, howev
er, that there will be no necessity for
charges of this character. Let the Re
publicans proceed to organize and prepare
for the conflict, and they will carry their
banners from the field in triumph.
THE Daily Graphic, the brightest daily
in America gives the following : "Wake
Nic)detnui to-day ! The good time com
ing, which was almost here, seems to have
pretty effectually arrived, and the venera
ble uncle who perished in the chains of
bondage and the throes of expectancy,
may jest as well be nudged and requested
to arise and look around. Nit only is a
black boy appointed cadet to West Point
in the strongest Irish district in the Uni
ted States by an ultra Democratic Con
gressman, but John Morrissey makes him
a substantial present to attest his good
will, and Subn Kelley's organ gushes over
him in an emotional cascade, which, twen
ty years ago ciiuld have been found only
in Garrison's abolition paper, the Libera
tor. Come, Nieodemus, come, old fellow ;
quit your gum tree resting place ; wake
up; it is morning "
Tuz Chicago Liter-Ocean has ascertained
the opinions of one hundred and ninety

of the remonetization of silver. Of these

of the fathers to its old place in the coin
age ; fifteen favor remonetizing with con
ditions attached; eighteen oppose retnone
tising ; twenty-one are undecided, and two
decline to answer. These answers repre
sent every State, and include forty-one
Senators and one hundred and six Repre

Mn. Louis WAHL, of Chicago, offers
to ply five men fbr ninety days to work on

Mr. Wahl has struck the key note to good
times, and if he can get the tune started,
the country will soon resound with the
music of prosperity.

This is an excellent appointment and will
be properly appreciated by the tax-payers.

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CON
VENTION.
EDITOR
The representatives of the Democracy
of Huntingdon county assembled in Yen
ter's Hall, in this place, on Pi iday last,
and placed a ticket in nominati.in, to be
supported at the approaching November
election It, was very remarkable that
they should assemble on Friday, a prover
bially unlucky day, because there is a
streak of superstition runs through the av
erage Pennsylvania Democrat that cannot
be wiped out. Ilowever, they may desire,
like some of the executions,to obliter4te the
well-defined evidences of ill-favor attached
to the memory of the day, and turn over
a new leaf, exclaiming with Old Lucullers,
"we will make it a happy day for the Ro
tuns." But, to be candid, there isn't any
thing in the day, only the oddness of meet
ing on Friday. What prompted Mr. De-
Amnia to settle down on Friday for his
Convention is beyond our comprehension.
But, then, we have little or nothing to do
with the day The result of the day's
work is what shall engage our attention.
The Convention was composed of the
usual delegates since the memory of' man
runs not to the contrary. The same old
bard-shells and bourbons ; the same old
vote for Jacksonians; the same old anti-
Whigs, anti-Americans, and anti Repub
licans. Their fathers voted the Democrat
is ticket and they inherited the trait. Of
course there were a few exceptions, but. in
the main, they were the same old true
blues who never say die, and who will nev
er cease to vote until they receive a call to
visit the other side of I.lhorous' Ferry. It
is astonishing what a capacity for voting
the averre Democrat has. He seldom, if
ever, misses an election. His Republican
neighbor may stay away a dozen of times,
but he never stays away. !le perflirms
his duty as a citizen wit!iout once missing
fire, if he has to be carried to the polls on
a shutter. In this respect he is a much
better citizen than his Republican neigh
bor. Every man should make it a point.
to vote at a general election. And just
here is where the Democrats expect to
catch the Republicans napping this fall.
They know full well that there will be no
trouble in getting out their full vote, and
they knew, in the present demoralized
condition of the Republican party, that it
will be next to impossible fur us to do
this, consequently they expect to steal a
march and elect Cieir ticket. Knowing
the Republicans sell as we do, we have
no hesitation in sting that they have good
grounds for their expectations.
The ticket nominated is a very good one
—made up principally, if not entirely, of
honest farmers, it will recommend itself to
the agricultural portion of our population.
We say this in justice to our opponents,
believing that it is right and proper that
the devil should have his dues. We nev
er could see why we should abuse good
men, or even bad ones, simply because they
occupied a position on the ticket of our op
ponents. If, in the course of the cam
paign, matters present them in a different
light from what we now see them, and it
will be of importance to present their short
comings to our -waders, we shall not hesi
tate to do so, but until we know different
ly from what we do now, we shall credit
them with being excellent and honorable
gentlemen.
The Convention oontaiued several dele
gations that sympathized deeply with the
laboring classes in their fight against mo
nopolies, bondholders, &c., &c., but the
bourbons were too sharp for them, and
they were silenced without even a decent
hearing. Several of them withdrew and
cussed, but, in al: probability, it will end
at that.
Thomas Isenberg, esq., of Franklin, who
has been a prominent candidate fur Sher
iff for several terms, was slaughtered as
readily as if it were a matter of course.
Thomas is no doubt getting used to this
sort of thing, but it would be a good idea
to teach the Ring a lesson. If the leaders
of the party had given him just the least
bit of support he would have gone through
like a streak. But they didn't want Thom•
as, and Thomas was floored as usual.
If the Republicans will go to work and
organize, the ticket will not have the least
Possible show for an election. It is only
in case the Republicans lie idle and leave
the election go by r.efault that there is the
least prospect for success. We up
peal to the Republicans, if they desire to
elect their ticket, to prep:lre, at once, for
a vigorous campaign.
If you want to vote at the
November election yourname must
be registered before the 6th of
September.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
In the Democratic State Convention, on
Wednesday of last week, the committee on
resolutions, through their Chairman, R.
L. Johnston, esq., of Cambria county,
made a report, which was read and adopted,
as follows :
The Democratic party of Pennsylvania, by
its delegates in convention assembled, does
declare:
First. That the induction of Rutherford B.
Hayes into the office of President,notwithstand
ing the election of Samuel J. Tilden thereto,
was a high crime against free government,
which has not been condoned and will not be
forgotten. The same. spirit of patriotism
which forbore contest upon the first offense,
will resist and punish any attempt at a second.
Second. That the immediate happy effect
of the application by the federal administra
tion of the Democratic policy of non-interven
tion in the internal affairs of the Southern
States, amply vindicates our frequent protests
against our previous violations of the reserved
rights of the several States to exercise all
power not delegated to the general government
by express constitutional provision.
Third. That the purpose to reform the
civil service which has been proclaimed by
the present administration, is like its adopted
"Southern policy," a confession of the failure
of radicalism and a just tribute to the Democ
racy, which has long and earnestly demanded
the overthrow and punishment of corrupt
officials,
Fourth. That capital combined in corpora
tions has been too hightly favored by both
State and federal legislation, and its demands
for large returns are inconsistent with the
depressed condition of the laboring and busi
ness interes:,s of the country. We oppose
further enactments for its special benefit at
the expense of other interests. Labor and
capital should have no cause of antagonism
and they should be left free to adjust their
own relations. The right to contract freely
exists for both parties. That the deprivation
of employment of many thousands of indus
trious citizens and laborers and the deep
distress of themselves and their families enlist
our hearty sympathies, and we declare in the
language of - Jefferson, the founder of our party,
that a "wise and frugal government whieb
hall restrain men from injuring one another,
shall leave thein otilerwise free to regulate
their own pursuits of industry and improve—
ment, and sh:ill not take from the mouth of
labor the bread it has earned," is the hope of
the people in adversity and their security iu
prosperity ; and that under such a government,
which it is the mission of the Democracy to
maintain and perpetuate, any resort 1.;) force
or to violation of law, or invasion of the rights
of person or of property, to redress grievances
is needless and at war with free institutions,
under which the only rightful remedy is by
frequently recurring elections of representa
tives of the people in State legislatures and
in the federal congress, to accomplish the will
of the majority which should be accepted as
the voice of all.
Fifth. That we accept the admonition of
Jackson, in saying "considering standing
armies as dangerous to free governments in
time of peace, I shall not seek to enlarge our
present establishment, nor disregard the salu
tary lesson of political experience which
teaches that the military should be held sub—
ordinate to the civil power," and accordingly
the increase of the federal army, and any
attempt to employ it as a partisan agent of
federal authority, or for interference with the
sovereign rights of the States will receive the
continued earnest opposition of the democracy
of Pennsylvania.
Sixth. That ''many of our rich men have
not been content with equal protection and
equal benefits, but have besought us to make
them richer by the act of congress," and "by
attempting to gratify their desires, we haie in
the result of our legislation, arrayed section
against section, interest against interest, and
man against man in fearful commotion," and,
therefore, the grant by the legislatures of the
states, or by congress, of exclusive privileges,
and the establishment of odious monopolies
under the pretext of public benefit or of justice
to sections of the country, are direct assaults
upon the equal rights of the people and as
these monopolies have been contrived to
enrich the few whilst a large number of the
people are reduced to want, the democracy of
Pennsylvania protest against subsidies, land
grants, loans of the public credit, and appro
priations ofthe people's money to any corpora
t;on as legalized plunder of the tax producing
industries of the country.
Seventh. That we look with alarm and
apprehensions upon the pretensions of the
great transportation companies to be above
the fundamental law of this Commonwealth,
which governs all else within our borders, and
until they accept the Constitution of 1873 in
good faith, they should remain objects of the
utmost vigilance and jealousy by both legisla
ture and people.
Resolved, That we hereby reaffirm and adopt
the fivancial resolutions of the national dem
ocratic platform, adopted at St. Louis in 187 G
TUE Republican State Convention as
sembles, at Harrisburg, next week. Hart
will be nominated for State Treasurer and
Sterrett for Judge without any formidable
opposition. Passmore and Reeder will
have a fight fin. the Auditor Generalship.
The chances are with the former.
THE ticket nominated by the Republi
cans, last week, gives very general satis
faction. It is universally admitted to be
a good one and worthy the support of the
entire party.
THE Turks and Russians have been
banging away at each other, during the
last week, as usual.
latti. Republicans, see that no
names are omitted from the list of
registered electors.

The Curiosities of Crime—A Catholic Scandal—
A Serious Democratic Trouble—The Great Tele
graph Consolidation—The Business Out-look—
Variono.
THE CURIOSITIES OF CRIME
Last wee: - a girl named Wetzel killed a man
named Listemann, by slashing him with a razor
while they were in bed together. Listemann bad
kept her as his mistress six years, and the girl
had frecrtoutly importuned him to marry her, urg
ing that she was "sick of leading a life of shame."
She made this demand last Tuesday night—which
he refused to listen to; but, apparently pacified,
she retired with him. Scarcely had he laid down
when she whipped a razor from under her pillow,
and inflicted horrible wounds on his abdomen,
from which he died. An inquest was held, the
proceedings of which wore published in the pa
pers. Two days after a similar case occurred in
Brooklyn. A woman had lived with a man on
intimate terms, had reformed and married. Her
paramour was brute enough to make public the
relations that had once existed between them,
which coming to the ears of the husband, ended
in a separation. The enraged woman made an
appointment with her former lover and deliberate
ly cut him in the abdomen till he died. Then a
day after a similar tragedy was enacted in Jersey
City, and still another in 57th St., in each case
illicit love being at the bottom, a razor the weapon,
a bed the scene, and the abdomen the wounded
place. It is as though every disappointed, repent
ant woman felt called upon to follow the example
of the first, and in the same horrible way. The
details of these of are too horrible to print.
In each case death ensued.
A CATHOLIC SCANDAL
The little town of Vineland, near the city, is
greatly exercised over the development of a trans
action that recently occurred in the Catholic
church at that place. A man named Gregory, a
worthless sort of a fellow who had more than half
forsaken his church, was at the point of death.
His wife, a devout Catholic, begged the Priest to
shrive the dying man, which he refused to do on
the score that he was not a good Catholic, and
was not entitled to absolution. Mrs. Gregory
implored, and finally after many interviews the
Priest did go and confess him and gave him full
absolution. Priest Viver was indiscreet enough
afterward to say that ho now had means enough
to pay off the debt of his church, as a valqable
piece of land in Newark had been devised to him ;
and Mrs. Gregory, now that her husband was safe
ly through Purgatory, dropped hints that it had
cost her more than she liked, to get it accomplish
ed. An inquiry was set on foot and it was made
known tha. the dying men and his wife had deed
ed the Newark prOperty to the Priest, and besides
giving him $lOO in money—in short, all they had
—l,elore ho would absolve bin,. It has made
much feeling in Vineland, and has created a bit
ter feeling against the church there.
A SERIOUS DEMOCRATIC TROUBLE.
Congressmen Adrian Muller, of the first district
in this city, had a vacancy in West Point to fill,
and to avoid the responsibility of making a selec
tion, advertised that a competitive examination
would be held, and the boy making the best av
erage would be appointed. Probably Mr. Muller
would not have done this had he had the faintest
idea of the result, for behold you, a "nigger" nam
ed Charles A. Minnie, came out ahead, and Muller
was compelled to appoint him. There were an
hundred applicants, but Minnie had a clear ma
jority of points,and there was no mistake about it.
There is load swearing among the Democracy of
the first, at the "dirty nagur" who had the auda
city to stand first among the youth of that district.
John Morrissey is astute enough to turn this little
draught of gall to advantage. There is a very
large negro vote in that district, and the gallant
John no sooner hears of it, than he sends his
cheque for $5OO to Minnie, with which he may
provld3 himself with a proper outfit. This is a
shrewd stroke. It will be a convenient thing for
John to have at his back in future political con
tests some hundreds of the negroes of that section,
for they are looming into political importance
every day, and even the enmity of the Irish can
not keep them out. Minnie is a very bright boy,
he has been more than two-thirds educated at
house, and has done the most of it himself. In the
examination the maximum was an hundred,and he
stood 091. He understands fully what is before
him at West Point, but ho is determined to go
through it like a man, and do something for his
race as well as himself.
TISK GREAT TELEGRAPH CONSOLIDATION,
There is no more competition in telegraphing,
and the public is as entirely at the mercy of a
monopoly as it was before the Atlantic and Pacific
was started to giro us relief from the monstrous
exactions of the Western Union. With a healthy
competition rates had got down to a point that
enablel the people to use the telegraph freely. A
message from New York to Chicago only cost 25
cents, and rates for shorter jistances Were even
lover, This did not satisfy the grasping mana
gers, and so this week, they got together and eon-
sulidated the two companies, and up go the rates
just as far as the patience of an absurdpublic will
permit. It will result in the Government taking
the telegrapi: system of the country under its wins,
—at least, it ought to. The people are idiots if
they permit a company of grasping speculators to
hold in it,: hand the power to oppress them. The
rate from New York to Chicago will go up to a
dollar again, and so on in proportion, Of course
that little Mephistophiles, Jay Gould, is at the
bottom of this, as he is of all the deviltry that ;s
being dune. If every man, woman and child in
the United States dosen't petition Congres to take
the telegraph lines, and operate them as it does
the mail system service, they will deserve all the
swindles that can be imposed upon them. And, by
the way, while they are about it, they ought to
take a dig at the" express busintss. There is no
reason under hea-en why small parcels should
nut bo carried through the mails, at a very low
rate of postage. Tho express business is as mis
erable a monopoly as the telegraph, and needs
reforming as much. To get a dress from Boston
to Omaha costs almost as much as the dress, and
to some points a great deal more. There is no
reason why the mails should not be used for the
transportation of certain matter; if the people are
wise they will pay some attention to these matters
this winter.
THE BUTNESS OUT-LOOK
There is no longer any question,—there is an
improvement in business. The enormous crops of
this year are burdening the lines of transportation
both by water and land, money is being sent out
of the city by the million to move the crop, and
that money, distributed at once, is putting life
into trade, and very vigorous life. It is a fact
that the wheat crop of the year will average more
than twenty-five bushels to the acre, taking the
nountry together, which is something never known
before, and the corn crop will be equally large;
and this enormous yield comes when the country
is bare of grain, and when a great war in Europ e
takes away all the competition wo have always
had in supplying breadstuffs, keeping the price up
to a good round figure. Add to this the fact of an
absolute settlement of our Internal troubles by the
wise policy of President Hayes, the fact that we
have got bask almost to a gold basis, and that the
depreciation has gone on until we have struck bot
tom, and he must bo a choaker indeed, who cannot
see better times very closely ahead. The ffect is
now perceptible in this city. The merchants
from the interior are hero in force, with pleasant
faces, and those who come to buy five thousand
dollars are, under advices from home since they
left, buying ten thousand. One publishing firm
in Boston has sold 50,000 copies of a new bock in
the first three weeks of its publication, something
unheard of since 1873, and other intimations of
returning prosperity are not wanting. And this
is going to be permanent, our exports aro now
largely in excess of our imports, the flood of gold
instead of going abroad is setting this way, and
Europe is contributing to us instead of our con
tributing to Europe. We are exporting goods to
Europe, and so good a reputation have our goods
that in China, Japan, and South America the
English are labelling their fabrics "American," in
order to sell them. There is no use in hinging
back any longer. We have struck bottom, and
from this time we shall rise and rise very rapidly.
VARIOUS.
It is true that Jay Gould made four millions of
dollars by bis shrewd manipulation of Western
Union, and the subsequent consolidation. The
weather is very hot, and the death rate among
children is fearful. The coaching folly is about
played out. The young bloods have got tired of
playing English coachman, and now that the nov
elty is worn off, the young ladies have discovered
that the family carriage is ever so much more
oomfortablo. And besides, it afforcli m in equally
good chance to show their clothes, 4!lif h is the
main object of a New York girl's life. The people
are coming back from the summer resorts, and the
city is looking a trifle more gay. The avenues
and park drives are filling up again with the fam
ily instead of the coachman and cook.

TWO SPANS OF THE GREAT BRIDGE OVER
THE MISSOURI HURLED INTO THE RIV-
OMAHA, NEB., August 27.—Two spans
of the great bridge, which since 1872 has
stretched across the blissouri river at this
point and afforded means of railway com
munication between eastern trunk lines
and the Union Pacific railroad, lies buried
beneath the waters of the river or scattered
up and down the southern embankment.
The accident occurred Saturday morning,
and was occasioned by one of the most ter
rific tornadoes or cyclones that has for
many years swept across this section of the
country. The roar of a heavy wind was
beard in a direction bearing a little east of
north. Within a few moments after the
first sound was heard the gigantic blow
struck two of the spans of the Union Pa
cific railroad bridge and lifted the massive
iron superstructure off the piers. The
wrought iron stringers and columns were
twisted and bent like so many pieces of pa-
per in the hands of a child, wrenched from
their resting place and plunged partly into
the river and partly against the steep em
bankment. These destroyed spans were
each two hundred and fifty feet in length.
The spans destroyed were at the eastern
terminus of the bridge, restinc , upon the
lowa shore. Two columns that had sup
ported the spans still stand firm and unin
jured. The spans of the bridge are not
connected where they rest on the columns,
so that if they fall, as they did in this case,
they can each go down separately. It is
said that it will consume at least a month
to replace the displaced spans, and proba
bly longer, as much of the iron work will
have to be made especially for this bridge.
If temporary spans cannot be placed pas
sengers and freight will be transferred by
means of ferry, via. Plattsmouth, Nebraska
& Missouri Valley railroad.
The bridge has, since its completion in
1872, been considered a most substantial
structure and one of the highest triumphs
in modern engineering. It has been sup
posed by engineers that if it had any weak
ness or ever gave way in any part it would
be in the concrete piers on which it rests.
It was designed by General Dodge, then
engineer for the Union Pacific railway, and
is 2,800 feet in length, divided into eleven
spans, each span being independent and
resting at each end upon two concrete filled
east iron cylinders about nine feet in diam
eter, some of them being sunk seventy feet
below water. The under line of the bridge
is about 75 feet above water. The spans
are formed of very heavy wrought trussel
girders, with cast iron top members, ma
king their weight enormous.

The Striking Miners.
A MOB COMPEL WORKMEN TO QUIT
WILKESBARRE, August 27.—A very
decided demonstration was made at Ash
ley, Friday night by a large party of
masked and armed men who marched
stealthily to No. 6 breaker, belonging to
the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre coal and iron
company, and compelled the engineers to
to stop work and draw the fires. This
accomplished the gann. b went to the house
of every man who worked in the day shaft
and who where asleep in their abodes.—
The mob aroused them, made them come
out into the moonlight, and with loaded
pistols placed at their temples compelled
each man to take a solemn oath not to work
any longer in the mines.
In the morning not a miner dared to
enter the colliery, although they were
guaranteed protection by the company.—
The engineers went below, however, and
started the pumps. A captain in the
Twentieth regiment of State militia, who
with his company, had been on guard for
some days a little north of this city, says
that hundreds of men arc drilling nightly
in lonely localities. These men arc all
strikers.

DESCRIPTION oF IT I:Y A CORRESPONDENT
OF THE NEW YORK HERALD
LONDON, August 27.—The Herald's
special correspondent at the Russian head
quarters in Armenia telegraphs from Ku
ruk Dara, under the date of August 25, as
follows : "A desperate engagement has
just been fought near this little village,
about twenty miles northeast of Kars, re
suiting in an unequivocal victory for the
Russians. The Turkish right attacked
the Russian left, which rested on a plateau
in front of Kuruk Dara, at three o'clock
this morning.
"The two armies fought all day long.
The weather throughout was magnificent,
and for fourteen hours attack, repulse and
counter attack continued. The roar of
musketry and cannon was unceasing, and
so thick was the smoke at times that the
hot noon sun could not be seen. The Rue
sians were persistently brave, and pursued
their well known policy of reserving their
fire until the attacking column was at very
close range, when, after the discharge they
sprang forward and received their foes
with the bayonet. It was not always that
the Turks wavered. Some portion of the
Turkish line fought better than others.
Desperate hand to baud fighting occurred
on. two occasions.
"The Turks attempted to flank the right
of the Russian defensive position, but
were defeated in each and every attempt.
Gen. Loris Melikoff commanded the
defence in person. Re was enthusiastically
cheered whenever he appeared. Both the
Russians and the Turks were in full
strength. It was on the part of the latter
an attack in force to fully test the Rus
sians position, but Gen. Melikoff was able
to so mass his forces at the point of attack,
when made in the open country, as to
oppose man for wan to his enemy.
"By a cavalry dash about daylight the
Turks captured the little village of Kizzeil
Tapa, a place wholly untenable, and was
consequently abandoned by the Russians
long sinee. This Flace the Turks held
throughout the day because the fighting at
the front was so active that no men could
well be spared to dislodge them. They
will doubtless evacuate the place to night.
The efforts of the Turks to capture
Kuruk Dara were desperate and certainly
did not fail for want of persistency. Prior
to the opening of the attack only a few
companies of the regiment forming the
extreme Russian left had been encamped
in front of the little town, but shortly after
midnight, General Loris Melikoff having
been informed of the advance of the ens•
my, two entire . divisions, each division
consisting of four regiments of 2,500 men,
were thrown into the place before five
o'clock in the morning. The greater part
of the second division was held as a
reserve, and did not cows into action until
'ate in the afternoon.
"The first shock pf the attack was re
ceived by two regiments of infantry which
had reinforced the small force in occupa
tion of Kuruk Data, and in these two regi
ments the losses were terrible, some com
panies being literall7 wrecked. They
stood their ground. however, until relief
came, and that was the main thing. These
men gave the Turks their first check, and
checked they were at every point through
out the day.
"The repulse of the attacking army was
decided. I saw the greater portion of the
fight and the retreat of the Turks at night
fall. The losses on both sides were un
doubtedly very heavy, but at this time,
within two hours of the cessation of the
fight, it is impossible to accurately estimate
the number killed and wounded.
PIETRO.
"It was reported about two o'clock that
General Komanoff Tchayshevadze was
killed, but it transpires that he was only
badly woundod. I was assured of this
fact by one of his aids less than an hour
ago. He tells me that the general is doing
well."
