GREECE DECLARES FOR PEACE. Which Is Most Fortunate Thing
 For Gladstone.

W men IS a M08f F0ftun0te Thing
 For Gladstone.
 LONDON, April 26-Ths accession by Greece to the demands of the powers for peace is said by MT. Gladstone's friends to be one of the most fortunate things for him that could happen at this junoture of affairs. The complications that would ensue upon a war between Greece and Turkey undertaken in defiance of England's demands would have greatly weakened the Premier's ability to deal with his opponents at home. The new attitude of the Greek government will remove this danger which MT. Gladstone has himself fully appreciated This is not the less true because of the undouhted fact that the peaceful turn of Grecian affairs will be but temporary. The time consumed in ne- gotiations for arbitration of the Greco-T Turk ish dispute will be sufficient to allow for the completion of MT. Gladstones do- nestle campaign and for the acceptance or rejection of his Irish measures or their mer- it's as construed by Parliament without sub jecting them to the chance of perishing by an overthrow of the ministry on a question of foreign policy. As to the ultimate action of Greece it may be said on the authority of the Greek legation here that if arbitration is consented to by the relyannis ministry it will only be because they are convinced that the award of an unbiased arbitration must be in favor of carrying out the unequivoesl provisions of the Berlin treaty giving the outlying Hellenic provinces back to the mother country. Failing this, said the informant, Greece will renew her de mands upon Turkey regardless of any protest by the powers, for she will never rest under the injustice now perpetrated upon seven millions of her rightfu1 subjects who chafe under the onerous yoke of Turkish oppres- aio

Miss Folsom's Uncle Confirms the Re.
 port of the Coming Wedding.
 BOSTON, April 26.-H. F. Harmon, we'll known flour dealer on State street, is an un- ole of Miss Frances B. Folsom, reported to be the Presidents intended bride In an in terview to-day MT. Harmon said the report was true and the marriage would shortly take place. "We did not intend to announce the engagement until shortly before the wed- ding, but it has gone to the public through breach of confidence on the part of friends in Buffalo. I think I know who made the first statement concerning the marriage. I have just written Miss Frankie telling her the cat is out of the bag and giving her forestall- ment of the gossip she will hear on her re- turn home. There is no truth in the report that MT. Cleveland is paying the lady's ex- penses abroad. His acquaintance with her began when she was hardly knee high. She used to climb on his knee and call him Uncle Cleve. MT. Cleveland was very fond of her a child and about three years ago his attentions became serious" MT. Harmon extolled the beauty and fine qualities of his niece and said that she was in every way worthy of the position to which she had been called

BEWARE OF THE MYSTIC LEAGUE.
A Weird Ceremony by Night in
 Western City.


 Western City.
 LIBERTY, Ind, April s6.-For several weeks the local papers have published strange calls and warnings and these with the receipt of cards through the postofice bearing the words "Beware of the Mystic League" have much alarmed citizens, many connecting the warnings with the unsettled condition of the labor question. These feel ings were intensified by the appearance on the streets of band of one hundred masked men dressed in long white garments with black half moons on their backs and carry ing designs suggestive of danger attached to long poles and a bright red light above their heads. The procession headed for Jarrefl's fiat, lonely ravine, where grave was dug and some unknown object buried amid weird ceremonies and the din of horns and drums. The mysterious crowd then repaired to an other uncanny nook near the old cemetery where the same ghostly scene was enacted. The spectres then disappeared.

Midnight Ratd Hn Which the Victim
 Makes a Brave Resistance.
 MANCHESTER, Tenn, April 26.-Colonel J. M Hughes revenue force made successful raid upon the illicit distilleries in Hubbard's Cave, Coffee county, about ten days ago. Last night between 12 and 1 o'clock Webb Pur- dam, member of Hughes force who is citizen of Manchester, was aroused from sleep by mob of masked men bursting through his bedroom door, They were about twelve in number and without warning they began firing into the bed where Purdam and his wife and children were sleeping. Pur- dam, though mortally wound ed This left side and arm being filled with bullets, rose with revolver in his hand and returned the fire, felling two of his assassins to the floor. This frightened the mob, who picked up one of the men and fled, leaving the other where he fell Purdam, who is noted for his pluck and his double-barreled shotgun, leaped over the prostrate form on the floor and fol lowed in hot pursuit of the fleeing mob. When he got to the yard gate he fired both barrels, which were heavily loaded, at the retreating desperadoes, sending two more to the ground. They too were assisted by their comrades and all except the man in the house made their escape. The latter proved to be Mack Clark, legal distiller, but who is said to have been dealing in crooked whisky. Sheriff Ashley and posse started at an early hour in search of the assassins. One arrest has been made, but the mans name could not be learned. Purdam is mor- tally wounded Clark's wounds are not nec- essarily fatal. Purdam's wife and children m1raculously escaped without injury, though the bed beneath and the wall above were per forated with leaden missiles
