Our COlOrOd Bicycle Expert Causes Comment
in New York.
Sundays New York World has the
following story about a Brunswick
negro who was employed in the BIZ
cycle shop of A. F. Pharr, this city,
for considerable period:
agents King and Murray, of the
Gerry society, saw crowd IN front of
Broadway bicycle store yesterday
morning, and on investigation found
a -year-old colored boy ex-
planning all about the 1897 improve
ments in the bicycle.
"The agents questioned the lad and
learned that lis name was Benjamin
McGregor, and that he reached this
city Friday morning, having left his
home in Brunswick, Ca, three weeks
before. The boy said he had nothing
to eat for over twenty-four hours.
The agents took him in hand and up
piled his immediate wants.
''Then they took him to Centre
street court. Magistrate Mott COM
mitted him to the care of the Gerry
society, after expressing the hope that
the boy might be found place to
work.
"Benjamin says he has worked in a
bicycle repair shop for over two
years, and that he came to New York
because business was dull in Georgia,
and he had heard chat the bicycle bus
mess was booming In New York.
"While waiting in the courtroom
the boy was closely questioned about
bicycles in general, and showed that
his information on the subject was
broad"

Hunters Retirement, Which Was
Expected, Did Not Occur
Yesterday.
SICK MEMBER HAULED OUT OF BED.
But the Three Ballots Which Were Taken
During the Day Showed No Change
Of Strength.

Frankfort, April 20-Those up to
this time who have doubted that DR..
Hunter, the indicted Republican nom
inee for the United States senate,
would withdraw, gave up all hope this
morning when they learned that he
had issued a statement over his own
signature to the effect that, while he
would not prolong the fight unreason-
ably, he was not yet ready to come
down.
When the joint assembly met today
both the new senator, Hager, and Sem
ator Ogilyie were on hand. Many
pronounced the bringing here of SEN
ator Ogilvie, who looks like a dying
man, crying shame.
In the 5Ist, SD and 53d ballots all
voted as they have heretofore, and the
vote stood: Hunter, So; Blackburn,
80; Martin, II; Boyle, 3; Stone, l /;
necessary to choice, SO. Nearly all
the republicans opposed to DIR. Hun
ter were absent and paired.

Wright to Dock and Move Vessels.
The board of pilotage commissioners

Yesterdays Hard
Fighting.
MASTROPAS MADE A BAD MISTAKE.
King George to Take the Field-A Thousand
Dead Grecians Lie in Milouna Pass.
Turks Are Irresistible.

Athens, April 20.-Fighting between
Greeks and Turks has been resumed
this morning at ReviDa, not far from
Tyrnavo, northwest of Larissa. A big
battle is in progress. The Turks are
attacking still greater force than on
yesterday, but the Greeks are making
a stubborn resistance.
There was renewed fighting betw cen
the Turks and the Greeks in the MI
lOnna pass yesterday. 1t was of the
most severe description, but full de-
tails are not obtainable here. The FIR
ing ceased at o'clock yesterday even
ing. The total Greek loss in the va
rious engagements in Mllouna pass is
estimated here at 1000 killed and
wounded. The losses of the Turks are
declared to be much greater than
those of the Greeks. Prince Constnn-
tine has returned to Larissa from
GrItzovali, where he witnessed some
severe fighting.
The Greek reverse at that place was
due to the fact that General MastrOpas,
who was in command of the Greek ar
tlllery, misunderstood Prince Con-
stantine's orders and ordered retreat
of the Greek force.
General Mastropa's brigade later
rallied and made a stand. In the
meantime Prince Constantine hurried
reinforcements forward to the assist
ance of General Mastropas and Gen.
eral Smolenitz, formerly Greek min
lister Of war, succeeding in forcing the
enemy back. Prince Constantine has
severely censured General Mastropas
for his blunder.
A dispatch from Cairo says that all
Greeks have been ordered to leave
Egypt in fortnight.
1t is reported this morning that a
Greek force which has been trying to
bridge the river Arachthos, on the
frontier of Epirus, has been driven
(otf by the Turks.
THE CoNQUERING TURKS.
Elassona, April 2O.-The Turkish ar
tillery this afternoon began cannonad-
ing Tyrnavo. The whole chain of
mountains from TchaIssza to Milouna
pass is now in possession of the Turks.
The last brush on the hills was very
brief, the Greeks making but little re-
sistance.
