THE CRETAN TROUBLES.
They were Provoked to Irritate the OF
toman Government.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The instigators of the
Creten troubles have partially succeeded in their
object, which was undoubtedly to irritate the
Ottoman government, and by provoking hos
tilities still further to intensity the pre-
judice Of western Europe against Turkish
rule over a people nominally Christian. The
prompt attitude of the English and italian
fleets saved the Cretans from extreme meas
ures and prevented the outcry against Turkish
persecution which would have followed any
extensive retribution upon the revolving
islanders.
THE Willy GREEK PREMIER,
Trikoupis, is given the credit of provoking this
latest outbreak. The little hellenic kingdom
does not present field large enough to display
his energies, according to his estimate of them.
and his exasperating intrigues to set the
larger powers by the cars, in hopes that some
thing will accrue to Greece as the result of the
struggle, and his own abilities be recognized
at their true value have rendered him the
is doubtful even if he is so highly estimated in
st. Petersburg as is generally thought.
THE WILLINGNESS OF THE ENGLISH
to act with the Italian fleet is viewed with great
alarm in France, which is more than ever
made aware Of her declining influence in the
Mediterranean, and is furthermore indignant
at the increased aggressiveness of England in
Egypt. The advance of the dervishes has fur
nished an excuse for pouring more troops into
that country, and France must be now con-
WINGED of what long ago apparent to the
rest Of the world, that England has no inten-
ton of abandoning country in which her
pecuniary interests are so enormous rumor
current to-day in Paris of serious reverses to
the forces Of Gen. Greenfell created some
uneasiness here, but there has been no con-
firmation of the report, and it is probably
untrue.

In Memoriam.
on the q March 1859 This 6asRs and
noble boy was loved by all who had the great pleasure
OF knowing hun for his gentle and brave disposon As
one Of his schoonates1 always found him 70 be all
that Was good and kind.
The news Of his sudden death brought grief and sor
row to many hearts. but particularly to his mother.
whose only c hid he was. She can but bow in mute
and blind submission to the nscrutable Proyidencs
which CHILLED from young and radiant youth its bright
est and best.
IT'S hard that tbs cruel ocean
Ny only chllds form should embraces;
Ills hard TO think that meier again
shall look on my darling boys facei
As a son he tender and loving,
As a friend he faithful and truoD
Always gentle and forl1ving,
Ever anxious q kind act 90 do.
My darling son has left this land
For that other and brighter shore
Where he awaits me with oustretched hand
Not dead, but gone before.
HIS FRIEND. @. H. b

THE MAVERICK TRIAL.
The Nurse Testifies That Mrs. Maybrick
Was Tender Toward Her Husband.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. Sin the Maybrick trial
to-day DR.. Stevenson testified that all OF May
bricks symptoms indicated the use OF arsenic.
Maybrick's nurse testified that when the
prisoner tried to persuade Maybrick to take
medicine he objected on the ground that the
wrong medicine was being offered to him.
Witness testified on cross-examination that no
improper food or medicine was given to May
brick while she was attending him. Mrs. May
brick, she said, appeared to be tender and con-
siderate toward her husband
A waiter at Flatmann's hotel identified Mrs.
Maybrick as having occupied bed room at
the hotel with Brierley.
After the introduction of this testimony the
prosecution announced that it's case was closed.
Sir Charles Russell opened the case for the de-
Tense. He made forcible speech, in which
he urged that the jury could not
render judgment against the ac-
cused based on probability, even il sup
ported by an apparent motive fori the commits
sion of crime, if there was a show of doubt.
He would prove that Mr.. Maybrick had been a
confirmed taker of arsenic for years.

IRRIGATION IN DAKorA.-Senators Stewart

and Irrigation Engineer Hinton Of the United
States geological survey were in Sioux Falls,
OAK, yesterday, and at q meeting in Conven-
ton hall the Senators explained the object of
their visit and invited citizens to answer the

veloped the fact that the rainfall in Dakota,
especially in the Missouri valley, is not sufi-
cient to produce the best results and that the
only means Of irrigation would be by artesian
wells

MURDERERS CONFESS.
War Expected to Break Out as Result
In Powell County, Ky.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. "a report has
reached here that Harry Farrell and two other
men whose names are unknown, who were ar
rested charged with the murder of John A.
Rose, the leader Of the Rose faction in the
Powell county race war, have made full con-
fession of the crime.
The information is very meager, but the re-
ports say that there is ''great excitement in the
mountains" which is presumed to mean that
the confession implicated in the crime some of
the members of the Hall:faction, which has all
along been charged with the killing.
II the surmise is true war in that region is
likely to break out at any moment.

The question Of the Engineer Commissioner

at the White House with a PROBABLE view
to Major Raymond's transfer to other duties.
1t is thought by some that he will be made
commissioner of public buildings and grounds
here when Col. Wilson is made superintendent
of the military academy. In this event there
is no more likely candidate for the vacant place
on the District board of Commissioners than
Major Oswald II. Ernst Of the engineer corps.
who has been stationed at Galveston, Tex, of
late in charge of the public works there.

Natural Gas in Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. sd.-Natural gas was
struck on the property of the Lion brewery, in
this city, with pressure of 1000 pounds to
the square inch. Some time ago gas was
found at Lang's brewery, and this induced drill
ing on the property of theLion brewery with
the result stated The success attending the
drilling of these wells has caused considerable
stir and a movement is ON foot to put down
wells in other parts of the city. Experts say
there is good ground for expecting that suffi-
cient gas underlies the city to supply its wants.
