and this was the cause of his death.
WAITS wife informed Coroner Goette
that she had a dream night before last
that she saw her husband, while sitting
at the table eating, fall back in his chair
suddenly and die. She informed her hus-
band of this a the breakfast table, she

The Coroner to Reinvestigate a sus-
picfOus Case at sandhy.
Three negroes are in the Chatham county
jail whose confinement is due entirely to
the suspicious nature of their race. The
negroes are charged with poisoning, the
warrants being sworn out before Justice
Blois of the Fifth district.
just before the close of last year a
negro died near Sandfiy station. There
We're rumors of foul play and Coroner
Goette was called in to investigate He
found that tine man had been a victim of
ga4loping consumption, the Immediate
cause of his death being a hemorrhage.
The death occurring outside of the city il
was not necessary for the coroner to give
certificate as to the cause of death. this
being required in the city before burial
permit can be secured.
The coroner's statement that there was
no grounds for suspicion as to the cause of
the mans death did not satisfy the credu
lous negroes living in the vicinity of Sand
fly. They have been discussing the death
ever since, their idea being that the dead
man had been poisoned by praties having a
grudge against him. Their suspicious fell
upon the three negroes who are now in
jail and the warrants sworn out as stated.
Solicitor General Osborne was Informed of
the charges on which the men had been
Jailed and wrote Coroner Goette Yesterday
requesting him TO investigate the case.
Coroner Goette will go out to SandAy to-
day for this purpose. He is satisfied that
the mans death was due to consumption.
but If the negroes who swore out the war
rants have any evidence to produce to
show that their friend was poisoned he
may hold an inquest in order to give them
chance TO present their evidence.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN A FEUD.
An Aged Kentuckian Shot Seven
Times From Ambush

Jackson, Ky, May 9.-Capt. William
Strong was killed near his home in This
county today. He was shot seven times
from ambush. He was leader in the
Strong Callahan feud in this county. set
Element of which was agreed upon in
the county court two weeks ago.
Armed men will go to the scene of the
murder tonight to hunt for the murder
ers. The feuds with which Capt. Strong
has been identified have cost more than
fifty lives in Breathitt county. Strong
was y years of age. captain in the
federal army. After the war the Amos
family and their friends tried to eyter-
inmate Strong and his friends. They be-
sieged Strong in his home three days.
when Strong's nephew with a dozen old
soldiers came to his rescue.
A few nights afterwards Strong and
his men met the Amos faction in an
open meadow in the moonlight. A fierce
battle ensued, which resulted in the
death of one of the Amos party and the
wounding of several more. Only one of
Strong's men was wounded. The Amos
family removed to Kansas after several
more of their men were killed. When

THE OCCUPATION OF vOLO.
POpulace Shouted 'I.Ong Live the
Sultnnv-It Was n Peaceful
Arran ge ment.

Volo. May 9.-The correspondent OF
the Associated Press. describing the re
treat of the Greek troops, says:
Edhem Pasha sent a flag of truce with
a proclamation that he would protect
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 on which depended
their fate.
When the reading was finished a muir.
muir of intense relief was heard through
out the dense throng. quickly followed
by frantic shouts of Long live the sui
tam
But there still remain 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 view, would accept Edhem
Pasha's terms. A single gunshot from
the fleet would have compelled the
Turks to treat Volo as hostile. Three
newspaper men, myself among them,
board the flagship and get the admiral's
reply. We bore white flag. At the
quay, however, we met the captains of
the foreign warships with written COM
munication from the admiral saying he
intended to remain in front of the town
until assured it 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 withdraw, otherwise he could not be
responsible for what might occur.

CAUSE OF THE RETREATS.
Informal Inquiry Fails to DivuIge
the Real Cause.

London, May 9.-The Times cores
pondent ut Velestino says:
When the troops here heard of the re-
treat from Pharsalos they pronounced it
betrayal. Certainly it is unfortunate
that Crown Prince Constantine should a
second time be obliged to begin re-
treat.
The Athens correspondent of the Times
says:
So great is the change in the public SEN
timent that no opposition whatever was
provoked by the decision to recall the
army from Crete. King George. who
it was believed was unapproacha BILE on
this subject, has finally yielded with
good grace.
The Acropolis (newspaper) publishes
some startling reports. 1t sent a CORES
pendent to Pharsalos to investigate the
cause of the retreat from I.arissa. and
he was allowed to question the members
of the dismissed staff. Without excep-
| ton they each denied that they had re-

net except on one occasion, when the
government wished to remove some SUI
perior officers from their commands. On
all other occasions the staff was in COM

Manchester Markets.

Manchester, May 9.-Reports for the
last week are more uniformly gloomy
than hitherto, the decline in silver eX-
change spelling the chances of eastern
orders. The business done has been
small all around. Among the spinners
orders are running out and stocks be-
ginning to grow Prices, however, have
held fairly well, owing to the firmness
in cotton, but cloth is dull and dragging.
Orders for India and China are on terms
practically unavoidable. South America
is hampered by financial difficulties, and
the Levant by the war between Greece
and Turkey. Egypt is doing fairly well
and there is a moderate home trade,
though for the most part slow. The Ger
man market is still active and dealers
are well engaged. Rouen is quiet with
no special changes from the previous
week. The board of trade returns show
a large decrease in exports to India, Ar
gentina and Brazil, but fair increase
to Turkey, Egypt, Morocco and the Dutch
Indies, Japan, China and the United
States. the last named having taken
100000 yards during the month of
April as against 3,945,000 during the cor
responding month last year.
