LONDON, April 3.-Sir Horace
Rumbold, British Minister to Greece,
has been instructed by Earl Roseber-
ry, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to
join the other diplomats at Athens in
final strong remonstrance against

reinforced with great haste.

FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.
The Ohio Above the Danger Line.

LOSS OF LIFE AT CHATTANOOGA.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 3.-Spec-
ials to the Union indicate the most
terrible distress and loss of life in
Southern Alabama. Railroad traffic
is completely blocked and 40 trains
are running on the Louisville & Nash
vile road south of Birmingham. The
Queen & Crescent road is washed out
so as TO stop travel between Meridi-
an, Miss, and Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Georgian Pacific road is also
badly washed. 1t will probably be
ten days before trains are running.
The Alabama river has overlooked
its banks and covers the country with
a wild waste of waters. Numbers of
people have been rescued from the
tree tops, where they climbed to save
their lives, and many more from RATS
which are floating down the numer-
Gus streams. Thousands of carcasses
Of cattle are seen.
The Tennessee river has overhowed
and the bottoms are covered with
water. The destruction of the " heat
crop in the Cumberland lowlands will
possibly amount tdphalf a million dol
lars, necessitating second blowing
of the ground and the planting of
corn and some other product. The
flood is the greatest for years and if
the rains continue the loss of proper
ty will be terrible.

The Trlal or Indians.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I4.-The presi- dent to-day transmitted to the senate letters from the secretary of the interior and commissioner of the land office
 transmitting draft of bill intended to amend the act of March }, 1882, relating to the trial of Indians and punishment of Indians for murder, arson, rape, lar
 ceny and other crimes. The commits sioner says he d,es not concur with those who believe the Indians should not be punished for crime the same as white men, and says he believes the law step in the right direction, but thinks the ex- penses attending the arrest and convic
 tion and punishment of the Indians who bear no portion of the public burden, should be defrayed from the general government, and not by the people of the territories. He says the Indians are not at present tried for offenses com.

Tanner, the Faster, 0utdone.

The details of most marvellous case of protracted abstinence from food has just become fully known, though it has been going on in Forsyth, Ga, for about two months. Peter Cooley, a mu latto, haling from Anderson, S. c. was arrested about June in Monroe county on charge of burglary and committed to jail to await his trial at the August term of court. He express ed his determination never to go to the chain gang, stating that he preferred to starve. He steadily refused food for weeks, as can be testified to by Sheriff c. A. King and Deputy Sheriff J. H. King, who has charge of the jail and sees to the feeding of the prisoners. He always refused to eat, and while it was then left in his cell the food was always found afterwards untouched.
 He often begged Sheriff King to let him have a razor, under pretense of wanting to shave, and also asked the loan of his knife, but as MT. King sus- pected his intention he was never al- lowed any Lind of instrument. But he still adhered to his purpose of self-de- struction, and after months total ab- stinence from food Mr. King called Dr. L. E. Alexander in to see the prison- CT to ascertain his condition. He was found considerably reduced, but free from all symptoms of insanity, being, in fact, quite rational and intelligent. He reads and writes we'll, and is much above the average of his race. MT. King and Dr. Alexander finally prevail cd on him to sip little milk punch, which he did under compulsion. But he has continued to resolutely refuse all food, and can be induced to taste only milk punch or wine occasionally.
 Like Dr. Tanner, he drinks water freely, but outside of .nat he hasn't taken enough nourishment in over two months to keep an ordinary man alive three days. He has lost about sixty pounds of flesh, and is merely skele- ton. He cannot walk step, and can only get up with assistance; When ly- ing quiet he has the appearance of dead man.-Macon (Ga.)

Wonderful Gold Mines.

PROVIDENCE, Cal, Jan. I4.-Im. mensely rich gold lodges have been struck in the south end of Providence mountains. Three ounces of gold were taken out of two pounds of rock. Over fifty locations have been made already. There is ledge 30 feet wide, and ore from eight locations assays from S3o to 5000. Twelve tons of gold ore shipped from the Arrow Mining district, as test, to Kingman, Ark, gave $9o in gold and II ounces in silver. This guarantees the Arrow district to be one of the largest gold camps in California.

The Star, which apparently sees every thing through partisan glasses, attempts to show that the fight being made on General Crook is becausepthat gentle man is a Democrat. No more baseless statement could be made. A great ma iority of the inhabitants of Arizona neither know nor care what Crooks poli- tics are. Nine tenths of our people, irrespective of party, demand his re- moval, because he can show absolutely nothing achieved, as the result of an eight months campaign, during which the hostiles have robbed, ravaged and murdered at their pleasure. Another man might do no better, but he could not pos sibly do worse.

MT. w. N. Grant, who is confined in the county jail upon charge of insanity, was interviewed yesterday by an EPITAPH reporter and seemed to discourse in an intelligent and rational manner It is impossible to detect the least sign of insanity in the old gentleman. His actions are those of perfectly sane in- dividual, and the EPITAPH trusts that the board of supervisors will look into this matter before wrong has been per petrated upon an innocent old man. We do not think that any parties are endea- voring to do the old gentleman an inten- tional wrong, but presnme that there has been mistake made which ought, in our opinion, to be corrected Mir. Grant is 64 years of age, and has always been noted as sober, industrious man, and anything tending to separate him from his family at this advanced age should be we'll considered. Again we suggest to the supervisors that they give this matter their attention at once.

En.ct. off tne CoId Weather.


 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. IA special to the Times-Democrat from the Indian Territory says: Reports from the ranges are to the effect that cold weather has been particularly severe on cattle inter- ests on the Cherokee Nation, where the greater part of the stock is centered. The loss is very heavy, nearly every stockman losing number of cattle. The Mcclellan Cattle company have los, many head of cattle, as have also all members of the Cherokee Live Stock association. The Choctaw and Chika- saw nations loss has also been very great. The cattle h>;. wandered for miles and in many ius, nces they have been stopped by wire fences, remaining there until frozen to death. The streams have all been frozen over for many days, and for want of water and food together with the bitter cold, have caused death to unnumbered head of cattle and horses Altogether the cold snap has been most disastrous to stock raising interests in the Indian Territory.
