THE BRUNSWICK TIMES. VOLUME 8, NO. 59. 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.

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.

A CLOSE CONNECTION Missed in Atlanta By a Hun gry Mother, Whose Lit tle Child 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. 10-pound sack of good buckwheat for only 25c. Keany & Bailey.

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. TURNING OUT GOOD WORK.

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 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.
