A DEAD SCHISMATIC.The death occurred at Lahore on 26th Uay of Mirza Ghuiam Ahmad Khan, who waa widely known throughout India as the founder of the Ahmadiyah schism in the Moslem world, by which he announced himself to be not only the Mahdi. but also the Messiah of his generation. The -Ailrza, who had attained his 70th year, was the Jagirdar, or owner, of the village of Quadian,In the Gurdaapur district, and was of Mogul descent, his family having migrated to the Punjab from Samara-kand in the reign of Baber. He was 1 formerly In Government service, but resigned some years ago. The Mirza’s j , claim to have some 70.000 or 80,000 dis- ! j ciples was undoubtedly much exaggerated.
