GREECE
IS GRITTY.
The Dogs of War Are Now
Straining in the
Leash.
TURKS ARE TO BE TACKLED
\
In Dead Earnest by the Heroic Hellenes.
Active Hostilities Begin—The Pow
ers Will Proceed Cautiously.
By telegraph to the Times.
' Athens. March 9.—Open hostilities
have begun in earnest. The cordon of
Turkish troops drawn around Akrotiri
is now being re-attacked by the insur
gents and severe fighting is proceed
ing. The battle between the Turks and
the insurgents commenced at 2 a. in.
and continues all along the line.
THE DOGS OF WAR.
The reply of the Greek government
to the ultimatum of the powers having
been delivered to the foreign repre
sentatives here, preparations for hos
tilities between Greece and Turkey,
which are apparently inevitable, are
being hurried forward with all possi
ble speed. Crown Prince Constantin
is about ready to start for the Turkish
frontier to assume command of the
Greek troops there, and several Greek
transports have landed great quanti
ties of war material and large num
bers of horses and mules at Volo,
Thessaly. It is reported that Greek
bands have destroyed a number of
bridges on the railway between Mo
nastin, the present headquarters of the
Turkish army, and Salonica.
THE TURKS TURNED DOWN.
Admiral Canevaro, commanding the
united fleet of the powers, has notified
the Greeks at Canea, including the
Greek vice consul, that they must
leave the island at oDce.
The vice consul has replied that be
will submit only to force, which will
be employed by the powers if neces
sary to compel obedience to their or
ders.
It is reported that the siege of Kan
damos has been raised and that the
Mussulmen who were beleaguered
there have moved to places of safety.
The insurgents made an attack upon
the Turkish positions at Akrotiri yes
terday, but were stoutly resisted by
the Turks and finally repulsed. The
insurgents were reinforced during
the night and renewed their attack
upon the place today.
Monter Mass Meeting.
By telegraph to the Times,
Athene. March 9.—A monster mass
meeting was held here Friday night,
when the government made a call for
men. It was decided to place mem
bers of the royal family on all the war
ships. During the meeting both
Queen Olga and the Princess Mary
addressed the people.
During the evening the people
started throwing money at King
George. From the smallest child to the
oldest man each alike threw half of
what they had. The ministers and
other officials were kept busy continu
ously picking up money. The people
went wild and gave liberally. The
youngest son of King George, Prince
Christophf r, while walking in the roy
al garden, chanced to meet a son ot
one of the German officials. The
prince ordered the young German out
of the garden. When this was known
the little prince was paraded in the
streets by the crowd. The Germans
are in bad odor here; no one will sell
them food and the government is
obliged to provide for their necessi
ties.
Berlin on the Blockade.
By telegraph to the Times.
Berlin, March 9—lt is the feeling
here in official circles that a certain
measure of a blockade of Greece must
be observed, though it may not be im
mediately entorced The form of
blockade which Germany favors is
something similar to that which was
put Into operation in 1886, which was
pre-eminently a peaceable blockade.
Under this a fortnight should elapse
before any action is taken. At the ex
piration ot that time a specific form of
blockade should be put into operation,
under which any Greek or other vessel
that may be arrested will'not be con
fiscated, but will be released when the
blookade is raised.
More Mediation.
By telcgra h to the Times.
London, March 9.—Communications
which Lord Salisbury wired to the
powers last evening concerning the
reply of Greece to the collective note
of the powers have resulted in the con
currence of France and Italy with
Great Britain that coercive measures
\
toward Greece should be delayed and
negotiations continued at Athens. A
telegram received at the foreign office
$
from Rome states that the Italian gov
ernment considers the Greek note of
too negative a character to justify the
powers in taking immediate action.
' Greece’s Available Force.
By tc'egrapti to the Times.
Vienna, March 9.—The Political
Correspondence professes to have re
liable information that Greece has
only 8,000 troops in Thessaly, while
the whole army effective there is only
14,000 men, and that the mobilization
of an available force will realize bare
ly 30,000 untrained troops.
HAPPY HIBERNIANS.
The Governor Will Attend a St. Pat
rick’s Day Dinner.
By telegraph to the Times.
Atlanta, March 9 —Gov. Atkinson
will leave here on the 17th for Savan
nah. where lie is to attend the annual
dinner of the local Hibernian society,
and Mayor Meldrim proposes to meet
him upon his arrival there in a style
comporting with the dignity of the
high office of the chief executive of
Georgia,
Governor Atkinson will reach Sav
annah about 7:30 p. m. Mayor Mel
drim will meet him at the Central
railway station in his carriage and
drive him to his own home on Madi
son square. The mayor has, through
Gapt. Bierne Gordon, also invited the
Georgia Hussars to act as the guard of
escort to the governor upon his arri
val. It will be remembered that the
Georgia Hussars were with Governor
Northen at President Cleveland’s in
auguration four years ago. They have
always acted as the governor’s escort
here and are really the “governor’s
horse guard of Savannah.” It is
probable that the members of Gov
ernor Atkinson’s staff will also be
ordered out upon the governor's arri
val on the day following.
Governor Atkinson will attend the
annual dinner of the Hibernian soci
ety at the DeSoto on Wednesday even
ing. It is also proposed to carry him
down the river.
Hot After Hale.
By telegraph to the Times.
Atlanta. March 9.—A reward will
be offered for the arrest of W. C. Hale,
the absconding presideut of the South
ern Mutual Building and Loan Asso
ciation. This has been virtually de
cided upon, but the amount of the re
ward has not yet been fixed. Nothing
has yet been heard of the missing
financier.
Macon’s Mystery.
By telegraph to the Times.
Macon, March 9.—This afternoon
the fourth fire of the year occurred at
the Wesleyan Female College here.
The same mystery attends this that
attended others, and it is certain that
the expulsion of certain students has
by no means resulted in reaching the
guilty party.
Readily Reconci'ed.

Chicago, March 9.—Of the 1,200
plasterers who struck here Saturday
and Monday 250 have already returned
to work, the contractors having signed
the union scale of wages.

A CLOSE

TAKES A THRILLING TRIP.
A Chicago Matron’s Agonizing Experience
in Atlanta—The Child Turns
Up Smiling.
By telegraph to the Times.
Atlanta, March 9.—Mrs. 11. Good
rich is a Chicago woman who had to
come all the way to Atlanta to “en
joy” an experience that has fallen to
the lot of but few.
Mrs. Goodrich was on her way to
Florida, and. as a matter of course,
came by way of this city, the Chicago
of the south.
Upon her arrival here she changed
cars, and after seeing that her two
year-old little girl was safely seated
in the Central railroad car, she stepped
out to the depot restaurant to get
breakfast.
While she was hurriedly eating her
meal, so as to get back quickly to hei
baby, the train suddenly pulled out
of the depot and started on its trip to
Savannah. When Mrs. Goodrich dis
covered the train had departed and
carried her little girl off with it, it
was a painful moment to the anxious
mother. The telegraph wires were
brought into play to overtake the train
and they were kept warm with loving
messages.
At Griffin the officials put the baby
on the up train and Passenger Agent
Webb, of the Central, who was aboard,
took care of the child and returned
her to the mother, whose face was
aglow with happiness and delight.
THIS IS THE SLATE.
The Constitution’s Prophet Has the
Whole Thing Down Pat.
“The republican slate for Georgia
has been fixed,” says an authorita
tive article in yesterday’s Atlanta
Constitution.
The article conveyg ihe further in
formation that Georgia will be the first
state taken up by Presideut McKinley
for the dishing out of patronage pie.
The article says the whole thing is
settled and gives the offices out as fol
lows :
A. E. Buck, minister to Brazil.
E. A. Angier, district attorney.
W. L. Massey and Felix Cobb, as
sistant district attorneys.
Walter Johnson, United States mar
shal for northern district.
C. C. Wimbish, surveyor of customs.
Although the Constitution states
the above appointments definitely, it
halts when it comes to the various
custom collectors, and says the result
is very doubtful. If Deveaux gets
the Savannah job then Rucker will
lose the Atlanta collectorship. If Tom
Johnson shuts out Deveaux at
Savannah, then Rucker will win in
Atlanta. It seems to be a case of one
black and one white.
The Brunswick collectorship does
not figure in the article, but the sharp
and far-seeing political genius who
wrote it could have added with safety
that Col. H. T. Dnnn will receive the
appointment. This seems to be a
foregone conclusion.
A Mixed Cargo.
The Spanish brigantine Slgundet
cleared yesterday for Morocco with a
variety of cargo seldom sent out from
this port. In addition to the 200 bar
rels of alcohol previously noted, the
Sigundet has shipments of flour, corn
and lumber. The cargo was shipped
by Capt. RosendoTorras, who deserves
great credit for his earnest efforts to
diversify and build up the export
trade of the port.

Gary Denies All Other Callers—Queen Li
Honored With an Audience—a
Cabinet Meeting.
By telegraph to the Times.
Washington, March 9.—This after
noon Senator Hanna called upon
Postmaster Gary and was in confer
ence with him an hour. Callers who
waited late were informed it would be
impossible to see Gary on account of
his engagement with nanna. It was
reported that the latter’s visit was in
connection with the appointment of a
successor to Fourth Assistant Postma
ster General Maxwell, whose term ex
pired today.
President McKinley has signified
his intention of receiving Liliou
kalani, in response to her request for
an audience. At the present time
Lilioukalani can only see the president
by waiting her turn with the scores of
•public men who want his ear for a
moment. Her reception by the pres
ident will be a purely informal one
and has little significance.
The democratic senators held a
caucus this afternoon on the subject
of the reorganization of the senate,
but came to no conclusion. A com
mittee was appointed to confer with
the other silver members in the sen
ate. The only gold democrat who at
tended the caucus was Lindsay, of
Kentucky.

TIPTOP TEAM.
Captain Newman and the Knights
Surprised Spectators Last Night.
Capt. T. Newman had the picked
team of the Uniform Rank of Knights
of Pythias out for a drill on Newcas
tle street last night. Those who
stopped on their way to see the drill
were more than surprised at the
faultlessness of the men who will go
Savannah to represent Brunswick in
the contest for honors.
The Knights who enter the prize
drill can paste this in their hats : That
they will have to “go up against” the
best-drilled corps of Pythians that
ever went through a sword manual.
The Oglethorpes have begun early,
and are so near perfection at the out
set that their triumph at the finish is
assured.

No New Trial.
Judge Atkinson yesterday, in the
adjourned term of city court, refused
anew trial in the Newman case. The
attorneys for Captain Newman,
Messrs. Crovatt & Whitfield, will take
the case to the supreme court. The
issue made is not only on the applica
tion of the statute to primary election
days, but also on the legality of that
part of the sentence which requires a
forfeiture of Captain Newman’s li
cense.

A deaf and dumb negro was adefend
ant in Justice Hitch’s court yesterday
afternoon. He was charged with
stealing a box of cigars from the store

was very brief. Justice Hitch bound
him over to city court.

GEDDING READY FOR THE GRAVE
Laid Out in the Coffin, the ‘‘Corpse”
Suddenly Revives and the Watch
ers Watch No More.
By te’egraph to the Times.
Columbia, S. C., March 9. —The
country around Sumter is reveling in
a genuine sensation, and one that has
filled the superstitious of both races
with awe.
Edward Gedding, a farmer, living
near Sumter, was taken down with
the grip some time ago, and, after an
illness of six weeks, died. At least he
was pronounced dead. The coffin was
sent for; he was duly put in it, and
laid out lor the night.
Suddenly the watchers were startled
by a low groan. The mysterious
sound was soon followed by another,
and the next moment the supposed
corpse was sitting bolt upright in the
coffin.
The entire neighborhood was
aroused, and by the time the doctor
arrived, Geddings was able to get up.
The physicians describe it as a case of
suspended animation.
HOW THEY MEASURE.
Physical Development of the Two Men
Now Being So Closely Watched.
No two men in the world are now
attracting the amount of attention
that is bestowed upon James J. Cor
bett and Robert Fitzsimmons, who,
just one week from today, will meet at
Carson City, Nev., in what promises
to be the fistic contest of the century.’
Everybody being interested in the
two men, will also naturally be inter
ested in their physical development,
which is supposed to be now at its
height of perfection. These measure
ments, taken a few days ago, show up
as follows:

Strictly moral, refined and instruct

people. A more pleasing entertain
ment for the children than the equine
and canine paradox could hardly be
devised, and even for the grown peo
ple it is a pleasant diversion. As one
well-known society lady said: “It is
so refreshing.” Were they human
they could not obey the commands
more promptly or execute the many
difficult movements with greater pre
cision. The prices of admission are :
Children, 10 cents; adults, 20 cents.
Street Work.
Foreman Charlie Goodbread,of the
street department, under the super
vision of Superintendent James Cal
nan, has a force at work in the north
end of the city. The draining of Belle

North Albany street, releasing vast
quantities of stagnant water.
