BRAVE OPERATORS PLUCK.
Held Dcsperadoes with Shotgun Till
Officer Arrived.

Duncannon, Pa, Aug. 5.-Late last
night three men were taken to prison
at Bloomfield, charged with robbing a
tramp by the name of Lawrence Nor
good, who was on his way home from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg. They are
accused of taking 80 cents in money,
his clothing and shoes, slashing his
thumb nearly off with a razor and
throwing him from a freight car near
Bailey's station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, while it was running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour.
Seward Nautman, the operator at
the tower saw the man fall from the
car and at once telegr& ohed the rail-
road detective, Abe ROat, at Harris
burg, to come at once. He also saw the
men jump from the train and disap-
pear in the woods. 1t was but a few
minutes until they came from the
woods to the tower. Trautman then
covered them with a double-barrelled
shotgun and held them until the detec-
tive arrived.
The mems names are Tim Collins,
white, and Alonzo Willis and William
Wright, both colOred. The wounded
man is now in the Perry county aims
house, and is not expected to live.

FLEET NOT BOUND FOR CRETE
Anxious Now to Expedite the Peace

tude--TroOps in Thcssaly Are
Dying Rapidly.

Constantinople, Aug. 5.-The Tur-
kish government officials are now
manifesting a desire to expedite the
settlement of the peace negotiations,
owing to the straitened state of the
Exchequer rendering it possible under
the present circumstances to contract
a. new loan, because of the unhealthy
condition of the troops in Thessaly,
where many of the soldiers are dying,
and for political reasons, the attitude
of Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro
being regarded as threatening.
The Turkish minister for foreign af-
fairs. Tewfix Pasha, replying to in
quiries made by the ambassadors of
the powers, has expressed ignorance
of the destination of the Turkish fleet,
which left the Dardaneles on Tuesday
last. 1t appears, however, that the
warships are not going to Cretan wa
ters, which is probably a wise decis-
ion upon the part Of the Turkish au-
thorities as it has been stated that
the admirals in command of the fleets
of the powers have decided to oppose,
by force if necessary, the entry of the
Turkish squadron into Cretan waters,
where precautions have already been
taken against such an eventuality, by
the dispatch of foreign warships to
guard the different ports of Crete.
SITUATION AT CRETE.
Canea, Island of Crete, Aug. 5.-The
belief of the Cretans that Djovad
Pasha, the new military commandant
is really charged by the sultan with
instructions to wreck the autonomy
scheme has had at least one very i'm
portant result.
The deputies representing the prin-
cipal provinces have sent to the for
eign admirals an official declaration
accepting autonomy and expressing a
desire that the Turkish troops should
be withdrawn from the island.
This is the first document of a un-
animous character which has been sub
mitted to the powers in response to
their proposition Of an autonomus re-
gime.

MR.. MCCORMICK
IS SARCASTIC.
He Has Deliberated Upon the Inter-
view with Richard II. Quay and
Feels CompIimented to BE Known
as the "Last Man.''

Willamsport, Aug. Sin an interview
this evening Attorney General McCor-
mick was asked: Have you seen the
interview with Richard r. Quay pub
lshed in a Philadelphia morning paper
wherein Mr.. Quay says: 1t is all rot.
Mccormick is the last man in the state
whom my father would support for gov
ernorY"
Yes, have read it with much inter-
est, because it bears evidence of being
authoritative.
"Do you desire to say anything in re-
ply?"
Il cannot say that I desire to do so,
but / think it only fair that in this pub
lie way / should acknowledge the COM
pliment bestowed upon me- / have new
er considered the question of being q
candidate for governor, have not even
talked about 1t with my closest friends.
l suppose there must be a million people
more or less, eligible to the office of
governor of Pennsylvania, and to be
selected as the last man whom my
father would support is an uneXpect-
ed compliment. The man whom Senat-
or Quay supports for governor next
year, he will, as a matter course, expect
to control and thus prevent independ-
ent judgment on the part of the eXecu-
tive. This is a price no self-respecting
man can pay for the gubernatorial
nomination. Hence the implied COM
pliment in being the last man in the
state whom my father would support"
