TO BUILD COTTON Mill,

Fall River, Mass, March 27.-Joseph
McCreery, well known mill man, after
more than a years correspondence and
frequent personal interviews with Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Seward Webb, II. McKay
Twombly and H Walter Webb, has now
completed plans for cotton mill to be
built at Depew, N. Y, about fifteen miles
from Buffalo. Two of the gentlemen
named will undoubtedly become directors
in the new corporation. The proposed
mill will be one-story in height The
floor space will be 1856 feet wide and 66SS
feet long. Its capacity will be 10000
spindles and the mill will be equipped
with 1880 Kilburn and Lincoln print
cloth looms. The proximity 70 Niagara
Falls has led to the expectation that cleo
tric power may be used, but the system
is not yet so far developed as to make
this an absolute certainty.

CROWDS SHOUT FOR WAR

London, March, 27.-The Sun will to-
morrow publish dispatch from Athens
saying that Crown Prince Constantine
finally started for the frontier on the
Thessaly this evening. There was a
pathetic parting between himself and
the members Of his family, all seeming
to fully realize the import of the under
taking. The fact that he was to leave
to assume command of the Greek forces
which are now confronting Turks on the
frontier became known to the public
some time previous to his departure.
The streets in the vicinity of the palace
were jammed with people, who frantic
ally acclaimed the crown prince when
he appeared. The widest enthusiasm
was everywhere displayed and the
crowds shouted for war until they were
hoarSe.

The Laurada left Baltimore on Feb
ruary 27 for Philadelphia and when near
Cape Henry four boats were taken on
board to be used in landing the war ma
terial. Three days afterwards she met
the schooner Donna I. Briggs of S.on-
ington, Conn., and the steam lighter Jcn-
nae H, from New York. loaded with war
material which was transferred to the
Laurada twelve miles of Barnegat. The
vessels PROV was then turned toward the
West Indies. The expedition was in
charge of Gen. Carlos Roloff, the insur-
gent minister of war. There were forty
others on the Laurada when she left, and
in erholds were stored 1000 rifles i 200, 900
rounds of ammunition, twenty-five tons
of stick dynamite and a large quantity
of food and medicine. The expedition
was fitted out by the Cuban junta for
Gen. Garcia and was landed on the prov

force had been left to meet and convey
the supplies to the headquarters of the
army in the interior.
Among those on board the Laurada is
Mrs. Hughes, the wife of the commander.

of the vessels movements. They are
said to have gone in the guise of firemen.

THE KAISER'S POLICY
In Regard TO the Attitude of Greece to
Crete Roundly Commented Upon
BY the German Press.

Berlin, March 27-The curra MT OF Ger
man opinfcr1 has set in strongly against
what was known as the 'Kaiser's policy
regarding Greece, not in the columns of
the liberal press alone but in those of
newspapers which have hitherto been
giving their support to the policy of in
tervention in Crete on the part of the
powers. These journals have taken new
tack and are now deploiting the part
which the united squadrons or the powers
are playing and are likely to play in
Cretan and Greek waters. An example Of
this newspaper opinion is shown in an
article in the National Zeitung comment
ing upon the official announcement of
the share taken in the naval concert
by Germany's cruiser Augusta Victoria
in bombarding the Cream insurgents
which characterizes the affair as an un-
heard of disgrace, adding that nothing
more is needed to prove that the inter-
vention of the powers is futile
The Vossische Zeitung, in an article
on the same subject, says: This sense
less and brutal act of intervention on tn
part of Germany in Greece may as we'll
be the last that Germany takes part in.
Nobody could witness the departure OF
more German ships than German troops
for Cretan waters without grave misgiv-
ings and anxiety. The German navy can
leave such a task without jealousy Of
other nations. "
The paper concludes it's article by say
ing: THE first step to be taken is the
immediate Withdrawal of the Turkish
Troops from Crete. That public senti-
ment will influence the kaiser is evidently
within the bounds of probability, but
when the government speaks in the reich
stag to try to influence that body, as they
did in today's debate ON the naval credits
by adducing the pauotty of the German
share in the naval demonstrations of the
powers in the east as compared with the
fleets of the other nations. tehir argyll
ments fall fiat as they did to-day, in the
face of the fact that Germany prefers
not to cooperate with the other powers
in any measures of coercion with
Greece"
The rejection of the governments de-
mand for increased naval credits by
the reichstag was al foregone conclusion,
but there is no public excitement over
the matter. In connection with the re-
lection of the credits, the old stories are
being revived that Prince Hohenlohe,
the Imperial chancellor, is desirous of
being relieved of the cares of office. plead
ing advanced age, and the inf1rmities
thereof, and 1t Is also said that If Prince
Hohenlohe retires, Baron MarshaM Won
Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs,
will resign also. The emperor, in expec-
tation that the reichstag will reject the
arrangement with the Krupps for the con-
struction Of two cruisers after plans fur
nished by the government, under an
agreement that If the reichstag shall re-
fuse to grant the credits necessary to pay
for them when the estimates Tor 1893 are
submitted, the Krupps will be. allowed to
sell the ships to any foreign power wish
ing to purchase them. In fhe meantime
the Ksupps are to have wears credit
at the imperial treasury.

WORSE AND MORE TO COME
The Father of Waters Continues
His Destruction.
GREENVILLE IS IN DANGER
Situation There Decidedly Alarming-Water
Pouring Into Missouri Through Crevasse
Still Rising at New Orleans.

Memphis, Tern, March 27.-With no
alarming volume of water sweeping on
from the upper rivers and the rivers here
and at various other important points on
the decline, the acute stage of the flood
here is probably past. There is great
uneasincss, however, and not without
some cause, at Greanville, Miss, and
Helena, Ark. At the former place today
there was Intense alarm, in consequence
of which call for volunteers went out
from Governor McLaurin, who has gone
to that plaos, and the mayor also issu-
ing proclamation calling attention to
the grave peril of the city and urging
business men to close their places and
report with all their able-bodied male
help for service on the shalSy levees.
Both calls brought results, and large
sized army is combating the waters en-
croachments.
The opinion tonight is that these ef-
forts will prevail. The only weak place
in the Mississippi leVee, 50 far as Green
vile Is advised, is at Australia, and there
is confidence of holding it up. At sew
eral points, however, the water is flush
with levees tops and in someplaces flow
ing over.
On the Arkansas side small break
is reported at Boggy bayou. 1t was
doubtless very small, for no alarm ap-
pears to be felt. At Westover, below
Helena, there have been serious slough
ing, which may result in collapse. So
much of the Modoc levee as remains in
tact is being guarded by determined men
who say it shall not be cut by levee
board officials or any one else.
There was a heavy sloughing of the
levee below Gunnison, Miss, today. ex-
tending to its center, but heroic efforts
have thus far contrived to save the bal

bitten in the thumb by a mad dog on
March 9, died tonight at his home after
forty-eight hours excrutiating pain,
sultation and pronounced Ii a genuine
case of hydrophobia. The bite was not
considered dangerous at the time, and
after 1t had been cauterized the lad was
able to continue his studies in public
school. - -
Eleven other boys were bitten by the
same dog on the same day, and the
greatest excitement prevails lest they
should meet the same horrible fate.

On cross-examination Mrs. Parsons
admitted that the dipper war full Of
hot water and that she tookit down
with the.intention of throwing it at
and striking Mr.. Torrens. She said
that she told him to get out of the
garden patch or she would scald him.
She said that Mr.. Torrens' alleged
blow was hard enough to knock her
over but admitted that it didn't make
any bruise on her face. She stated
that it was q general scuff1e, anyway,
and that she could not remember all
that was done. The cross-sxamina-
ton also mixed her up to the extent Of
saying that after she had been knock
ed down the button-h hole was torn and
the pitchfork act was committed.
The request to amend the answer
here stopped the testimony. It is but
fair to Mr.. Torrens to state that he
states that he has witnesses, three in
number, who will swear that he never
struck Mrs. Parsons at all and that
she was the assailant from the start.

pARSONS-TORRENS DAMA6ECAS

The case of Jane Parsons vs.. j. L.
Torrens, an action to recover $1,000
damages by reason of alleged assault
and battery, was the next jury trial
after the Torrens- Parsons case. A
jury was empaneled and witnesses for
the plaintiff we're examined when the
defense discovered that its complaint
did not set up facts sufficient to allow
it to get in the evidence wanted, viz;
that the plaintiff provoked the case.
A motion was made to amend the
answer and after some legal tactics
Judge Webber granted the motion,
Mr.. Torrens agreeing to pay the costs
of the defendant for so much of the
trial as had been proceeded with.
Mrs. Parsons was on the stand before
this discovery was made. She stated
that the affair occurred in the garden
near the house on the farm owned by
Mr.. Torrens in New Avon, that Mr..
Torrens knocked the dipper out of
her hand, knocked her down with one
hand, tore button-hole out of her
dress at the neck with the other,
bruised her arm, then raised a pitch
fork as if to strike her, all of which
made her sick for two or three days
afterwards. This injured her mind to
some extent and she felt Inundated
among her neighbors by reason of the
assault.

g. n. 4. GROUNDS.

The G. A. r. encampment grounds
around the falls are being rapidly
transformed into park Of great mag
nitude. During the past week F. p.
Clough, who was engaged't to sup9rin-
tend the men, has had force Of from
eight to ten men at work, and these
have been engaged in raking up all Of
the dead leaves under the trees, cut
ting out the underbrusb, and trim
ming off the low branches Of trees.
All Of this immense amount Of rub-
bish has been placed in heaps and
either burned or carted away. All of
the dead trees have been cut down,
and carted to the Redwood Roller
mills, or will be left on the ground to
be used as fuel by the old soldiers
who take it upon themselves to 60 in
to camp. The ground under the trees
has been strewn with grass seed. The
stones down around the river have
been gathered up and placed in pile
along the banks, forming a stone ter
race that gives the spot additional at
traction. Certainly visit to the spot
will call forth language of admiration,
a wonder why it was not done before,
and why the city has not acquired the
site for park purposes. The old SOL
diers will never find better camping
ground in all the country around.
Bills announcing the encampment
will be printed during the coming
week. They will be scattered far and
wide by the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Minneapolis and st. Louis
railroads, those companies having
agreed to attend to all of the distribu-
ton of the advertising in considera-
ton of their being allowed to pay $40
each for an advertisement on the bills,
each company to have an equal num-
Der of bills. Aside from this they will
also attend to the newspaper advertis-
ing.
Among the speakers to be here will
be Capt. Henry A. Castle of St. Paul,
Capt. S. r. VanSant of Winona, past
commander of the State, Jacob Mertz
of Minneapolis, one of the cleverest
takers in the business, Judge Cor
b m Powers of Granite Falls, has been
invited to be present and deliver an
address on one day of the encamp-
ment. Of other prominent people
who have signified their intention of
being present is Capt. Thos. Mcmillan
and wife of the State Soldiers Home.
Gov. Clough has been invited to ap-
pear and it is not unlikely that he will
avail himself Of this opportunity to
visit Redwood Falls.
AS to evening attractions and other
attractions during the days little is yet
known. They will be plenty, how
ever, and will be of the proper kind to
please the soldiers.
