A MOSLEM'S FATE.
Abdul Kadir Alsagoff, an Arab millionaire and chief of ths Mahommedan community of Singapore, died recently from wounds inflioted by an unknown assassin. With his family he was performing his sunset devotions on the verandah of his house. As he bowed towards Mecca, his wife and children prostrating themselves beside him, a shot, a cry, and th 9 pound of running feet were beard beneath the verandah. Alsogoff fell prone with a bullet in his body. His servants raised him and placnd him upon a couch. Others ran from the house and went hot-foot after the assassin. But in the quickly-gathering dusk the miscreant easily escaped. The wounded man lingered on until noon the next day, when he expired.
All Moslems there are mourning him, and his relatives have set a great price upon the murderer's head.
