DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS.
LONDON, April 1G.-The correspondent o.
the Times at Scio says: II have HOW made
| from personal observation, and with tic hell
Of others, 4 pretty thorough canvass OF tl,e
| state Of affairs throughout the island. The
! total number Of dead is scarcely less than
| 4,oo0, although some allowance may he due
! to the fact that Immediately after the dis.
aster many persons crossed 10 the main land,
| anil some OF those now reported dead may
| now be there. The villages On tile south side
| of tile island are all wrecked, hardly single
house being left standing.

Kinney, l3o out Of $50. On the western, side Of
the island. at Aesta, many houses fell, but
nobody WAS killed. At Veshy three e-fourt,s
Of the buildings were wrecked, but only one
person killed. At Lethi . persons were

most nortAerly town on the west side, whicl,

Seven Of the principal ones, containing $3.50
people, are believed to have lost 1897 dead.
At least nine-tenths Of the houses in the
southern and southwestern portions OF the
island must be rebuilt or repaired.
THE POPULATION

OF food and shelter. The northern part re-

! LONDON, April lb.-THOHSh the Greek!
have accepted the European terms, their un
gracious recrilnlnatlons are said to be very
offensive. Their mute is regarded rs virtual
submission. Certain Vienna telesraills say
the Greek acceptance is surrounded with
reservations. This is possibly tile case, b,!
they arc not such as are likely to prove fatal
to tile maintenance Of peace. Several Of the
Powers are willing to exercise pressure on
the Porte to carry out its proposals.

pleased with the tone Of the Greek reply. to

Killed By Spirits.

.
The quantity of alcoholic liquor that
is sufficient to kill, If taken at . single
draught, is being determined satisfsct0r-
lily by actual experiment. The other
day an aged colored man in Texas
drank three pints of whisky and fell
dead. A German paper now tells OF .
woman who has made q similar expert
ment in tavern in the village Of Wirr-
WITT, near Breslau, where she and her
husband, being engaged jointly as tray
cling vendors of p-black-a business
that is recognized specially in Ger
many-had put up for the night. The
feat was occasioned by boast made by
her, in the course of conversation with a
number of tavern loungers, that she
could drink pint of brandy at single
draught if any one of her hearers had
the ability to pay for it. The offer was
taken up and she slowed the brandy
away as proposed without winking.
Then, however, she sat down and coy
cred her face with her hands, and when,
after some time, her husband, becoming
alarmed, tried to arouse her, it was dis
covered that she was dead.

4 Miniature Steamboat.

Mr.. Jacob Powell, an old and we'll
known farmer of Logansport, Ind, has
built and fitted up in that city minia-
ture steamer, in which he proposes to
make the entire trip to New Orleans.
The boat is only twenty-five feet long,
but is provided with neat and service
able engine, water wheels, etc., and is
covered with stout canvas. Mr.. Powell
has his vessel loaded with provisions
and other things necessary for comfort
able journey, and is only awaiting the
disappearance of ice from the rivers be-
fore he starts down the current. - It is
probable that one or two persons will
accompany Mr.. Powell on this voyage,
although he AYERS he will 60 alone and
unattended in case no acceptable per-
sons offer their company. The object of
the old man in making the trip is simply
pleasure. He has aptly named his YES
sci I" The Wanderer.'

The Speed Of q Hound.

The hound is one of the fastestsrpn-
ming dogs, and, not being imSpded q
heavy body. possesses great endurance
An evidence of this was shown the other
day by hound belonging to Mr.. J. A.
Ford, of Battle Greek, Mich. Its owner
was stopping at village six miles from
the above place, and getting on the cars
with the intention Of returning home,
did not notice the absence of the dog.
He soon saw the hound, however, fol-
lowing the train, which at that time was
running at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour. The animal reached home few
minutes after the train, having accom-.
plished the six miles in thirty minutes.
