that the maria ,e will take place in June.
Miss Folsom is now buying her trousseau in

further remark that he gave his grand
that he had just sent her 5000 more, TO BIZ
used in buying the troussean This inforna

Col Folsom, and cannot, therefore, be much
if any distorted: and, beside, the family Of
the gentleman from whom it was received
has long been on intimate terms with tn.

A break occurred on the levee at Old Town
Ridge, Is miles below Helena. The break
is about 200 feet wide, and will over

over 1000, 600 acres will be flooded by t g
break. Nearly all the planters that will suf-
fer had put in their crops. The result of this
calamity will be disastrous to the crops in
the bottoms. This overflow will do more dam
age than the one of 1882, inasmucn as it
has occurred two months later, and the

ULTIMATUM OF THE POWERS.
Terms Presented to the Greek Govern
meNt.

The British war ship Inne1ible, with the
German, Italian and Austrian frigates, ar
rived i'll the Pirnus to tako on board the
pleni-potentiaries of their respective gov
ernments if occasion demands The
and ultimatum of the powers arrived
will be formally presented. 1t is learned on
excellent authority, that it is a brief paper,
and refers to the pleasant termination of the
Balkan troubles, and that now all that is
wanted to secure peace to Europe is Grecian
tranquility. A disarmament is advised
and Greece is rather obscurely warned
that, if refusal follows, she must bear
the consequences. The presence of the
foreign war ships seems to infame the pas
sons of the populace, who demand war The
Greek war minister returns tonight from
the frontier, and it is believed that cabinet
council to-day resolved to refuse tho ultima
tum. Yet, to leave loophole for further
negotiations by the aid of France, Russia is
still believed to be playing what Americans
call 'possum."

Long
The whereabouts of George +. Showers, the
alleged murderer of Agnes Long, in Attic
boro, Mass, still excites considerable interest.
A large majority of the people in Attic
horo, and nearly all the residents of Wrenth-
am believe that he is guilty of the crime with
which he is charged.
His wife has gone to Rhode Island to live
with her folks. When she left Attleborc
there were several people who saw her in
Providence, r. l., and they say that she
looked queer, and evidently did not have all
of her wits about her. She talked and acted
very much unlike herself.
The parents of the girl claim that the Off
GERS should have apprehended Showers soon
after the jury found an Indictment against
him, and why they did not do this is mys.
terry. The property left by Showers is claimed
hv his wife and bratber-in-law.
