Railroad Arrangements.

The Central Passenger Association has
granted the usual reduction in rates to
persons attending the Ohio Universalist
Convention at...Blanchester, Clinton Co.,
Ohio, June "a, 1897.
Tickets going can be obtained with GER
tifcates, mot to exceed three days before
June 3, (not including Sunday provided
the fare going is not less than seventy
five cents. Tickets going, with certifi-
Gates, can..ssalso be secured three days
after the Convention assemblies. This
includes the opening date of.the Conven-

These certificates will enable the hold

including Sunday, after adjournment.
In order that these certificates shall be

certify upon each certificate, to the spec
ial agent of the Central Passenger AS
ISOLATION, that one hundred persons, or
more, have presented certificates showing
that they have paid full fare in going to
the Convention.
Strict as these rules are, we can secure
the advantages of reduced fare, provided
that all ministers and others will co -oper-
ate in securing full attendance.
The through tickets and certificates
must be secured from some ticket office
where through tickets to Manchester can
be obtained.
We suggest that persons intending to
go to the Convention inquire at local rail
road stations if the agents are supplied
with certificates.
Any information further than that con-
tanned in the foregoing will be cheerfully
given, if within our power.

ALONZO w. WILSON.

ALoNzo w. WILSON passed peacefully to
the other shore in the midst of his family
and friends early in the morning of April
IL, 1887. He was the son of the Rev.
Oliver Wilson, a Universalist minister
who was well known in the northern part
of the State of New York during the first
half of this century. Alonzo was born on
the 31st of January, 1912. Since manhood
he has followed the occupation of printer
He took part in the civil war and lived
for some years in Virginia. Coming
to Chicago he took up his residence
in the North division, and members
of his family have been closely con-
nected with the Church of Our Father
since its inception. Mr. Wilson was of
decidedly domestic habits, and leaves
sorrowing widow, seven daughters and a
son to mourn his loss. He leaves be-
hind him pleasant memory amongst
those who knew him best And in his
own family circle the blow which removed
the husband and father seems to have
been an irreparable calamity. R. ].

who shall Immediately place himself in cor
respondence with the transportation agent
of his State and thus keep thoroughly in

This local agent will in turn inform his
Union. Past experience has proved the
necessity of such plan. Therefore bear
these points il mind:
First, do not trouble the National
he has all he can do to look after the
State Agents and the Railroad and Boat
Companies.
Second, do not trouble your State Agent
with communications from half a dozen
different people from the same Union,
thus putting him to the trouble of writing
six letters where he ought net to be asked
to write but one.
To recapitulate: The local Unioners will
gain the information which they need re-
garding ways of getting to Detroit, accom-
modations, etc, of the local Agent. The
local Agent will look to his State Agent
for his instructions, and the State Agents
will receive their instructions from the
National Agent. Very truly,

tomb on the shores of the Hudson is to
be dedicated with impressive ceremo-
MES. For these memorial exercises and

splendid spirit.
The President of the United States,
the members of his Cabinet, the Speak
or of the House of Representatives,
Delegations from the Senate and from
the House of Representatives, with the
Ambassadors and Ministers from for
eign nations, arrived this afternoon to
pay their tributes to the memory of the
hero of the Rebellion. The Governors of
q score Of States are there with their
military stats and many of their civil
assistants. The naval craft of European
powers are anchored in the river near
the mausoleum which is today to be the
center of thought and sentiment upon
this continent.
Military and civil organizations in
vast numbers are assembled to join in
the parade, which. without much ques-
ton. will be the greatest in point of
numbers of all similar demonstrations
known in the past of this country. Fair
weather is promised by the meteorologi-
cal prognosticators. Take it all in all
the day should be memorable not only
in the annals of the great seaport city
which has been honored as the last rest
ng place of the remains of Grant, but in
the history of the nation as we'll.

healed by treating the system.

The War.

The news of the week from the seat of
war between Turkey and Greece is IN
favorable to the Greek forces. The
Turks have captured Larissa where the
Greeks suffered very serious defeat.
Reluctant admissions are now made at
Athens regarding the evacuation of
Larissa and Tyrnavos. The retreat, it is
said. resembled rout in some particu-
lars, it being SO hasty that number of
guns are said to have been abandoned.
During the retreat Edhem Pasha is re-
ported to have ordered repeated charges
by the Turks, resulting in several in
stances in breaking through the Hellenic
lines.
When the news of the fall of Larissa
and the retreat of the Greeks was re-
ceived in Athens council of the ministry
was hastily called, and as a result it is
asserted demand was made upon King
George to make an immediate change
in the command of the troops. The order
to retreat, issued by Prince Constantine,
is held to have been inexeueable, and
his purely defensive tactics are blamed
for the loss of Damasi. There is a re-
vulsion in popular feeling toward the
royal family. and sensational news may
soon come from Athens.
The new Hellenic plan of campaign
includes desperate stand to be made at
Pharsala by the retreating troops. King
George himself may go there and assume
personal command of his forces. 1t is
believed that Reveni will be evacuated,
and the entire frontier abandoned by the
Greeks.
A dispatch from Milouna Pass says
that the Greeks have evacuated Kritiri,
and that the Turks have captured three
other villages.
LONDON, April 26.-Great Britain has
taken the initiative for Intervention by
the powers in the Turko- Grecian war,
and as a result the declaration of an
armistice this week is possibility.
In diplomatic circles the belief is
openly expressed that before May ar
rives the war will have been ended
through this means. 1t is stated that
the foreign Office has sent an identical
letter to each of the Powers asking for
their cooperation, and that Germany,
France and Italy have already returned

ofa most extraordinary matrimonial
mix M. involving six couples, comes
from the little town of Roley, in Adair

morning and three in the afternoon.
In the morning the following were
married: o. IS, Dunbar and Nora
Tucker, Robert Hood and Minnie

ceremony the three couples went to
the home of "Uncle Bob" Tucker,
father and grand father of the brides,
to be entertained. In the afternoon
three other weddings took place, with.
in an hour of each other, and at the
homes of the respective brides. There
were several singular features con.
nected with all six of the weddings.
Every couple is now closely related
to ''Uncle Bob Tucker, one of the
leading men of his county. Outof the
six couples, before the wedding, he
had a daughter and a son. three grand.

There we're in the group a brother
and sister, two sisters, two brothers,
three cousins, two uncles, an aunt,
four nieces and two nephews, and YET
no one of the twelve married any one

singular feature is that out of the
twelve individuals before the weddings
there were two by the name Of Hopkins

two McWhoctors, one Pendleton and
one Hood After the ceremonies had
been pronounced the result was that
the Dunbars and Hopkins had each

the fuckers had been fortunate enough
to hold their ground. Since the day
