serious Accident nt Dexter Park.

CHICAGO, May 28.-At Dexter Park to-
day Charles Rettiker, the California boy,
undertook the feat of riding on horseback
two hundred miles in twelve consecutive
hours. The track used IS a circular one,
seven-eighths of a mile in length, and a
fresh horse was used for each round. On
the twenty-ffth round the horse bOlted the
track aud jumped the rail, falling upon the
rider, who, however, was not much hurt,
and mounting finished the round. On the
one hundred and Dinety-eighth round the
race came to a sudden termination by the
horse again jumping the fence and throwing
the rider with such force that he was
obliged to be taken from the park to car
riage, and now lies very low, though the
physician has some hopes of his recovery.
He had made l7235 miles in niue hours and
twenty minutes, and but for the accident
would have undoubtedly accomplished the
feat. A hurdle race over the same track
was also suddenly terminated by the falling
of one of the horses, and the, severe if not
fatal injury Of the rider.

From the Ancena GWarnle.
We publish the following from the paper
above, stating also the fact that the story is
disputed by high Greek official in this
country:
Nine Greek criminals of the worst de-
scriptiOn, among them four highway rob
beers and two murderers, have recently
been liberated by a decree of the Greek
Minister of Justice from the Penal Colony
ON the Island of Corfu, on condition of
their emigrating to the United States, and
they are now on their way to this country
On the twenty-fOuTth of April they were
taken in chains from the stone quarries of
Corfu on board the Italian bark AgamemOn,
which was to sail two days afterward for
Falmouth, in England, and after discharg
ing part of her cargo at that port, for New
Orleans Their names, and the crimes of
which they we're convicted, are as follows ::
CleOmenes PapaeOusi, prominent member
of the gang of highway robbers that plum
dered the English tourists at Marathon,
sentenced to twenty-five years hard labor !;
AristOs Dlcastri, thirty-twO years old, a ma
tive of Albania, convicted of numbering
two persons at Zenphar and sentenced to
the stone quarries for life Pietro SanfrOs,
a SicilIian, convicted of piracy, and SEN
fenced to sixteen years hard labor; Lalos
CastrOplOs, an Athenian thief, sentenced to
eight years hard labor; ThOOles Falta. a
murderer, sentenced for life; Marcos Da-
cordatos, thief, sentenced to six years
hard labor; Menados BithurOs, TheObulus
Percasuros, and Philippus EvnandrinOs,
highway robbers, sentenced to the stone
quarries for fifteen, twenty, and thirty
years. Quite cOncourse OF people assem-
bled as these cOnvicts who were heavily
irOned, were driven by their keepers
through Corfu aud taken to the wharf,
whence they were conveyed in a boat on
board the AgamemnOn.

FaiIure-Grant Denounced and Greeley
Endorsed.
SAN Francisco, May 23.-In this morn
ing's issue of the Daily Chronicle appears a
long account of an interview between Gen
eral Joe Hooker and a Chronicle reporter,
which attracts wide attention here. Gen
eral Howard recently admitted to this re-
porter that he was to blame for the failure
at Charlottesville This having been pub
lished led to an interview with General
Hooker, who stated to the reporter that
Towards admission was a tardy and inn
perfect one. He spoke of Howard as in
competent and disObedient; said that he
was better fitted to lead prayer meeting
than an army corps; that he was sent on
his Arizona expedition TO avoid a Freed
mems Bureau investigation. He denounced
Grant as having no more moral sense than
a dog, and expressed the conviction that
Greeley will be the next President. He
ridiculed Sherman, Halleek, Carl Schurz,
StOneman and Averill. He is in favor of
general amnesty. He declares his intention
to cause the Charlottesville matter to be
cleared up, so that the blame may rest on
Howard, where, be says, it properly belongs.
The matter will undoubtedly, create pro-
found sensation in the East.
