Old Negro Baptist Preacher Does the
Abraham Slcriiicial Act.

Elba. Ala, May 10.-Oscar Williams.
colored Baptist preacher residing in
the negro settlement three miles from
town. went daft lately over the story of
Abraham and Isaac. which was his ia
vorite text and which he held as his pat
tern of faith. His idiosyncrasy developed
into his having visions, in which he said
he had been commissioned from on high
to repeat Abraham's testimonial OF
obedience.
When the old man started into the
woods with his 2-year-old son, whose
name. Isaac, helped to carry out the
crazy mans conception. no one suspect
ed anything wrong. In a half hours
time terrific screams were heard and
neighbors rushed to the woods. In the
heart of thicket they discovered the
boy strapped to log and the old man
standing over him with bloody knife
liz his hand. The boy died soon after the
neighbors arrived, the old man having
cut his throat.

OF the Grecian soldiers. Following the
capture Of Velestino, Veto is now in the
possession of the Turk The Associated
Press correspondent thus describes the
events Immediately following the fall
of Velestino: The Turks have COMPLETE
ly occupied and burned VeIestino. At
$50 o'clock Thursday evenin. the de-
feat of the Greeks was complete. and
the pass to Nolo open to the Turks. The
search-Hghts of the warships on the bay
flashing UP the mountain sides were
of great assistance to the retreatirg
Greeks, showing the road through the
intense darkness. over a dozen cannon
were abandoned and captured by the
turks. TWO hundred wounded soldiers
We're brought to Nolo. The correspon-
dent of the Associated Press is of the
opinion that many of the Greek wound
ed soldiers We're left on the field. It is
impossible to estimate the number of
the killed.
Advices received from the frontier are
to the effect that General Smolenski's
shattered army was cut in two. The left
wing retired to Almyros. What was
left of the right wing came toward Volo,
broken and demoralized. The retreat
across the mountains was almost as bad
as the panic which resulted in the
change of base from Tyrnavos to Volo.
The scene of the more recent panic was
wild and almost indescribable. On
Thursday an Friday the populace filed
the streets Of Nolo with their house
hold goods. The peasants from sur
rounding villages fed to the town and
added choas to confusion. Brigandage
became common. Five steamers were
completely filled with refugees. Scores
of caiques carried fugitives to the ISL
ands
"Edhem Pasha sent flag Of truce
with proclamation that he would pro-
tect all Inhabitants remaining in the
town. A touching scene ensued. In the
Principal street an immense crowd
gathered with anxious, upturned faces,
listening eagerly to the reading Of the
proclamation which was to decide their
fate. When the reading was finished
murmur of intense relief was heard
throughout the dense throng. quickly
followed by frantic shouts Of Long
live the sultan" But there still re-
manned cause for the most serious
anxiety. for the question was then
whether the Greek admiral, whose ships
were lying off the town and in plain
sight, would accept Edbem Pasha's
terms. y single gun shot from the fleet
would have compelled the Turks to treat
Nolo as hostile.
Three newspaper men. myself among
them, We're appointed a deputation to go
on board the flagship and get the adj
mirars reply. We bore a white flag.
At the quay, however, we met the cap
tains of the foreign warships with a
written communication from the ad-
miral saying that he intended to remain
In front of the town until assured that
1t would be occupied quietly To this
the Turkish commander replied that
only one battalion would enter the main
army going into camp outside, and he
again requested that the Greek fleet be
withdrawn. otherwise he could not be
responsible for what might occur" The
Greek admiral agreed to withdraw.

sultan Inclined To isc Moderate
- Without doubt hopes have been rails
in Turkey that the Ottoman govern
meEt might annex Thessaly and restore
the old frontier OF 1881. but the sultan
is not inclined to risk such a step. On
the contrary. he opposes it uncompro-
misingly and will not yield to the pres
sure OF the war party at Constantinople.
He will be satisfied with a reasonable
indemnity and a slight rectification OF
the eastern Thessal:an frontier, such a
one as would give Turkey several
strategic positions in the vicinity of
NeZeros. y dispatch from Lamia
dated Saturday, says that Crown Prince
Constantin is still at Domokos and that
General Smolenski Is at Almyros. Ric-

That the plaintiff would put in writ
ing requests for her husband to do
many things utterly at variance with
common sense is no doubt true; the
testimony of great many husbands
would be to this effect. Her own adj
mission shows that the husband had
just cause to make her married life
one of continuous self-effacement.
