MOSLEM'S FATE.

f Abdul Ivadir Algagoff, an Arab millionaire and chief of the Mahommedan community of Singapore, died recently from wounds inflicted 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 the sound of running feet were heard beneath the verandah. Alsogoff fell prone with s bullet in his body. His servants raised him and plaeod 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 ha expired. All Moslems there ere mourning him, and his relatives have sot a great price upon the murderer’s head.
