SAW AN AWFUL SCENE.
DestitutiOn, Sickness and Filth Found
on the POCOnO Mountain.

"There is an old and a true saying
that one-half the world does not know
how the other half lives, and this say
ing was never more fully eXemplitied
than by the awful discovery made on
the summit Of the POcono mountain
on Tuesday afternoon" says the
Stroudsburg Times.
"The poor authorities Of Tobyhanna
township heard that there was a pitiful
case of desttutiOn and sickness in a
little hut about a mile from the Wilkes
Barre and Eastern railroad track, on
the top of the mountain.
DR. Wertman, of Tannersville, was
instructed to investigate the matter
and did so Tuesday afternoon. He
states that he never in all his life saw
such a fearful state Of affairs as he
witnessed in that tumble down shan

TWO VESSELS ASHORE.
The Crews TIanaged to Save Them
selves After Hard Struggle.

ST. JOHNS On. F.), May 16.-The
French brigantine Crosine, from Bay
onne for ST. Pierre, with a valuable
cargo, went ashore yesterday morning
near Lamaline. N. F. A heavy sea
was running and the crew succeeded
only with the greatest difficulty in
launching the boats, which We're almost
swamped among the breakers. They
rowed all day and all last night, but
were unable to find land. They had
no provisions and they suffered greatly
from the cold and drenching rain.
About noon they heard the fog horn at
the entrance of the harbor of st.
Pierre, and, making their way toward
the port, were picked up by a pilot
boat. The Hamburg-American Com
panys Arcadia, laden with grain and
bound from Montreal for Liverpool,
went ashore this morning near Cape
Bay on the southern side of the Gulf
of St Lawrence, in a dense fog. Her
passengers, numbering twenty-five, and
the crew of fifty-four, had a desperate
experience in trying TO reach land.
Three men attempted to swim through
the serf with the life line, but failed.
The fourth, however, succeeded and
attached the hawser to the rocks in
favorable position so that all were
safely landed after a hard struggle.
Neither passengers or crew saved any
thing. The vessel is likely to become a
total wreck.

THE SULTAN'S DEMAND.
II is Based Upon a Statement rlade
by His Ministers.

LONDON, May IA dispatch to the
STANDARD from Constantinople says:
The Porte's reply to the Powers is
based upon a mazbata presented by the
Ministers of the Sultan, representing
that Greece was responsible for compel
ling Turkey to declare war; that for
the last fifteen years Greece had ig-
nored her engagements under the Ber-
lin treaty by emitting TO pay indemnity.
by Selling and cOnfiscating Vakoups,
or religious domains and finally, by in
vading Turkish soil and that, there
fore. the council were of the opinion
that Greece had no just claim upon him
for leniency.
Then follow the proposals upon which
the council would base a peace. The
Grand Vizier, in submitting the MAJ
bata, assured the Sultan that the ma
tion was prepared to shed its last drop
of blood in support OF such conditions
of settlement.
The war party threatens to dethrone
the Sultan if he shows any weakness,
but shrewd observers believe that this
is only a farce TO enable him TO pose
before Europe as the unwilling victim
OF his fanatical subjects.
In spite Of the great success of Ed
hem Pasha the palace spies have ex-
pressed their doubts of his fidelity and
the Sultan has sent a special abide
camp TO watch him.
