THE LOCAL CREEKS.
They Are Preparing and Willing to Re- turn and Fight Under King
 George.

Many of the Greeks of this city are only awaiting a call from King George when they will return to their native country to engage in war with the un- i speakable Turk. It is said that one man has already left this city for that purpose.
 There are several others who express a willingness to go back and some Greeks are looking for purchasers for their es- tablishments when they, too, will enlist under the much beloved King George.
 It is understood that the Greeks in other cities, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Mobile, have been preparing themselves and are al- most in readiness to leave at short mo- tice. In several of the large northern cities companies have been formed and drilled thus making themselves ready for the field without any great delay. It is said that of the 10000 Greeks in this country 10000 have received notice to return to Greece as they have been "drafted. They go willingly and even sacrifice their worldly possessions with out unnecessary grumbling.

SAME OLD STORY.
X Home is Ruined and the Ready Pistol Plays the Leading Roll in the
 Drama.

Atlanta, Ga, March 8,-H S. Perry shot L. B. Lanier twice today in the De- Kalb county court house at Decatur, Ga. Perry says that Lanier was breaking up the peace of his home. He does not charge criminal intimacy with Mrs. Perry but leaves that impression in his state ments. Lanier, who is dangerously wounded at the Grady hospital in this city, denies that he violated the honor of the Perry family. A letter has been produced which Perry wrote to Lanier last Friday warning him to leave the state at once or take the consequences. Lanier replied protesting, but at the same time he left Atlanta and went out in DeKalb county. Perry was looking for him yesterday but Lanier kept hid.
 This morning the two men met on a train. Perry acted in a threa tening way and Lanier jumped off at Decatur. Perry followed him and fired at him. Both were arrested and taken to the court house. While Lanier was standing in the court room with his back to Perry the latter drew pistol and shot Lanier in the back. Lanier fell and Perry walked up to him and shot him again. Perry was placed in jail and Lanier was brought to Atlanta and placed in the Grady hospital. Perry is an express mes sanger

 Stamford. Conn, March S.-Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher died at 1O42 o'clock this morning
 Mrs. Beecher died at the home of her son-in-law, Rev. Samuel Scoville. She was unconscious for twenty-four hours before her death, and her end came peacefully.

A DISMAL DAY IN CARSON Nothing Transpires to Create
 M4A Excitement. J IM'S SITTING ABILITY Is Not DolS d-A Wag Registers as John |. SuIIi and Creates No Little h.
 .gest-Fitz Faces to Carson.
JIM'S SITTING ABILITY

Carson, New, March S.-This was dis
 nal day in Carson within and without
 Corbett and Fitzsimmons went through their regulation stormy day programme with more or less grumblng, and nothing transpired to create much excitement. Roeber, Hickey and Stenzler had an easy
 time of it this afternoon. None of them stopped many blows and the taps they did receive from Fitzsimmons were light and
 payfully landed
 Half an hour before the eastern train was due, Fitzsimmons put on his leggins and set out for Carson, paced by his great
 dane, Yarum. Mrs. Fitzsimmons was
 greeted with hearty smack as she came
 down the steps of the train and the baby
 received fond coddling. Bob then trot-
 ted home behind the carriag gre containing
 his wife and child and Martin Julian. Corbett was not so pacific. He lost a close game of hand ball in the morning, and it seemed to nettle him. He started
 out for his afternoons work like hired man who had not been paid his wages for six months. The punching bag did not hang to suit him, and he thumped it so hard that the value stop flew off and into the gutter and the rope snapped. None of those who were present at his display of irritation went away with any doubt in their minds as to Jim's hitting ability. When the ball rebounded awkwardly he
 would hook it with his left three or four
 times in rapid succession at terrific speed and if FitZSimmonS ever catches one or such blows he may as well cancel his theatrical engagements.
 After the bag collapsed Jim essayed to wipe out the defeat of the morning at hand ball. He succeeded this time in
 making it three straight on Al Hamp- ton. This put him in better humor and McVey's head did not bump the wall with so much violence during the wrest- ling bout which was next on the pro- gramme. Jeffries. Woods and Joe Cor bett contributed four rounds of amuse-
 ment for the champion but they were not
 so hard pressed as usual. Jim invited
 attack and stood on the defensive most of
 the time. He danced, side stepped,
 ducked and lodged, all the while begging this trainers to follow him and land if
 they could They kept after him but
 never scored a blow.
 A wag registered as John L. Sullivan at Reno hotel this morning. The word was passed along and a great crowd soon packed the hotel office. A Texas friend of Dan Stuart's, Kellar by name. who is | said to resemble John l.. in appearance, | was singled out from among the knot | of strangers who had arrived on the I morning train and photographed in a
 dozen attitudes before the mistake was | discovered. In Carson it was rumored | that John was coming down and the en- tire population hurried to the depot only to be disappointed for the third time within a week. A raw wind has been blowing from the west all day with occa-
 sional fiurries of snow. The mercury
 hangs around freezing point and the
 forecaSter is at sea.

AT LAST
ute to Annul Southern Railway Lase Tabled and Stands as Before

Raleigh, N. O., March 9.-The bill to annul the lease of the North Carolina railroad to the Southern railway, together with the substitute and amendments, was finally disposed of In the house of repre- sentatives today when a motion to table prevailed by the vote of the supporters of the original measure. The deadlock that began at l o'clock Friday and threatened to continue to the close of the session was broken this morning, when the support CTS of the Cook bill saw that they could not get their measure through the house a. second time, there being a majority of the bill to the passage of the Grant sub stitute; but they were able, by dilatory tactics, to prevent action on the latter, and to prevent a failure of action upon a number of bills that were pending, voted to table the substitute. the support CTS of the latter refraining from voting. The matter now stands as it was before the bill to annul the lease was introduced
 The senate today passed bill, which had previously gone through the house, to put Cleveland and Gaston counties in the Seventh congressional districts and Dayie and GodlSin counties in the Eighth. The legislat ture will adjourn at noon to- morrow,
