New York. May 2l.-A special TO the
Journal from Athens says:
At O'Clock Monday evening your
correspondent stood on the heights Of
Domoisoa. watching the gradual sub
siding Of the battle. Eight Christian
villages. set on FIRE by the Turks. burn
ed in the plain below This throws
some light on the lamb-like way In
which the Turks are supposed TO be
making war. The hight wing driven
into Its second line Of defense. was
holding its own. although no guns were
sent 10 assist II. The adjutant Of Prince
Nicholas said
"The priace has been confined to the
house with indigestion HIS battery
and three others have been held in re-
serve"
The Greek cOmmander-in-chief will
md II difficult to explain why. from 1:
O'Clock to sunset none Of these batter
les were sent TO help the hard pressed
right wing.
The advance Of two regiments o.
Turkish sharpshooters who had shown
much daredevil courage In attacking
the Greek front. had been checked.
Your correspondent tried to send a
dispatch, but the prince. with pale,
drawn face. held the wire five hours
personally communicating with Athens.
He is said to have wired TO the king,
among other things;
The army Is lost. Save us"
Then follows one Of the saddest
events in war TAe Greek army, sui
zen and indignant, but without panic,
left Domokos The men did not are

Through the long dark night this med

the hills The wounded In sptingless
carts were jolted over the road. Many
died on the way. At break of day
your correspondent ran across the
prince sleeping in his carriage drawn
up by the roadside Thus was super

haustcd soldiers gazed stupidity at the
sight and did not understand Il.
Soldiers were deserting in large num-

A.. G. Tyler In New London. Conn, was burned
last March, causing n loss estimated at not less
than 5000 900, II quantity of precious iewelry
and silverware went down in the ruins. Nothing

J. button began II systematic search In the de-
bris for the missing. vnluables last week, and
have been rewarded daily by bringing 10 light
diamonds, rubies. and various other Jewels.
Sleeves are used by tho men, and every part OF the
ashes on the site where the house once stood IL
carefully sifted, washed, and scrutinized.
Considerable gold and silver which were once
wrought into artistic shapes and highly priced
by the Tyler family have been uncarthed, but it
now has only II bullion value. A pair OF ear
rings containing diamonds worth several thou
sand dollars were lost in the fire. and a sharp
lookout Is being kept for them. A piece OF silver
was found that was once n richly decorated
horseshoe. 1t contained eight diamonds, all
OF which, are believed TO have been I'LL" dam

Pittsburg can boast of a family, Smith by

father is now dead. George, the eldest boy,
now a man of 90 years, returned to the city of
his birth recently, after an absence of over
thirty years, during which time his family had
mourned him as one dead. The youngest broth

baseball team, and will arrive in Pittsburg on
Thursday, when he will BIZ greeted by his long

Fine as are the salmon OF Newfoundland. they
are without honor in their own country. as the
following incident from DIR. :. 7. Davis's Carl
bou Shooting In Newfoundland" will show:
Our way into the interior was over a lovely
pond. We had made an early start, and left the
foot of the pond Just as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer thought
he could occasionally see the water break with a
splash In close proximity TO the canoe. Seated as
he was in the bow. he turned to the native who
was handling the paddle in the stern. and in
quired whether there were any fish in the pond.
Fish : No, sir. no fish. sir"
Presently. when about half way up the pond,
and just as the sun was pccping over the eastern
horizon, he saw, not six feet from the bow OF
the canoe, a magnificent salmon rise to the sur
face, and. with a swish OF his tail. disappear.
Again the writer turned to his friend with the
remark, Daddy. did / understand you to say
that there were no fish in this pondf'
