Manos' Victories In Epirus.

Athens, April 2S.-Colonel Manos has telegruphed from Arta as follows:
 Fighting has been in progress at Pentepighadia since morning The re- suit is not known here. The Greek troops occupied stronger positions In the pass. Another engagement took place at Plaka, the result of which is not yet known, since the enemy mnin- talns his position, though the Greek artillery has inflicted great damage at the villages of Kalentzl and Fortosi, where the Turks were concentrated. The Turks left the route from Pentepi- ghadia to Janina open. The Greek cav airy reconnoitered without encounter ing the enemy until about eight hours ride from Pentepighadia, when they met 300 Turks, who fired upon the Greeks. though without effect.
 'The Turks have abandoned the en. tire Lourches valley and the country around Souli. The situation at Pre- vesa is satisfactory. The Turks appear to be much discouraged, and their gar rison has been diminished by wholesale assertions. We need re-enforcements and mountain batteries. We have cap- tured large quantities of ammunition, especially for artillery use. in the posi- tions abandoned by the TurlSs."

too well that the outlaw would stop at nothing to get the money which he knew was in my possession. To him first emotion of fear 1 felt perfectly calm. In truth, felt as though fate had thrown this desperado in my way so that could conquer him. 1 don't know why I felt thus; probably ex- perienced the same emotions that sol dier does who goes into battle with fear and trembling, yet who. when actually in the midst of danger, feels as cool and collected as though he were out of reach of all possibility of harm.
 1T got out of bed, picked up the coal shovel and scnttle and made as much noise as possible. As the night had been an unusually cool one fire was burn- ing, and as passed the stove I grabbed my revolver and thrust it into my right coat pocket Into my left pocket thrust some nails and hammer Then, whis- ting as loudly as possible to mislead the desperado in the box, left the little office and walked across the floor of the freight part of the station. When inn mediately in front of the box l sprang at it with the fury of man fighting for his life and overturned it. It fell to the floor, top up, with resounding crash. Instantly was astride the box driving nails into the lid as hard and fast as a man in terror for his life could do. And all that while was yelling at the i'm prisoned outlaw at the top of my voice, telling him that if he so much as breathed would instantly kill him.
 But my threats did not appear to frighten him much. From the interior of the box came volley of muff1ed oaths that would have astonished Dig ger Indian. I never heard such horrible profanity. I fired my pistol twice in the air to let him know that meant busi- ness. After awhile he became quiet 1 carefully examined the box and found that there was no danger of suffocating for at the upper end were a number of tiny perforations which freely admitted air.
 1T sat astride that box until my assist ant arrived at o'clock It was long and trying vigil, but the magnitude of my victory buoyed me up. My assistant was almost too much amazed to speak when I told him of my capture He quickly went to the mines and told the superintendent to hasten at once with sufficient guard of men to the station and take Grizzly Bill into custody. It didn't take long to do this, and when Bill was hauled by no gentle hands from the box he was the angriest out law ever captured He fought like Q tiger, but it was of no use. The men who had him captive knew how danger ous he was He was securely bound and later in the day taken to Pikeville, where he was subsequently, sentenced to long term of Imprisonment in an east- ern penitentiary.
 'That little adventure" concluded the major, proved to be the turning point in my career. was promoted to an important position in the city, where I prospered, as you see. l am today quite content with myself and the world in general Thus you see Grizzly Bills undoing was my making.

| DEATH OF MRS ALFRED j. STEPHENS.
Mrs Annie ellis Stephens, wife of AL
fred J. Stephens of this place, died at her
home, last Saturday, at 1.3O p. M, aged
43 years. A little more than five years
ago Mrs Stephens began to complain of
not feeling we'll, and soon it was feared
by her friends that consumption had set
| tied upon her. From that time until her
decease she has slowly but surely failed.
During these years of failing health, ev-
cry effort has bean made to relieve her,
but without avail. Those near and dear
to her were 10th to admit of her serious
| condition until absolutely compelled to
do so. She has been confined to her bed
only about 10 days, but during that shovt
time her sufferings had been intense, I'M
til death came and severed the slender
cord of life which bound her here on
earth. Annie ellis was born in New
York City in 1854. Her parents names
were John and Elizabeth Gillis. She was
married to Alfred J. Stephens In Brook
Ign, New York, on October &c, 1876.
Three years later she removed with her
husband to Watertown, where they have
since lived. Mrs Stephens early gave her
heart to Christ, and has been q faithful
member Of the Methodist church for many
years. She cared but little for society
and was wholly devoted to her home and
family, and "She hath done them good
all the days Of her life." Now that she
has gone home forever to be with her
LORD and SAVER, we can truly say, "She
knoweth In whom she has trusted and her
expectation shall not be cut off," She
leaves, besides her husband, five children
to mourn her loss, Frederick, Lewis,
Grace, BsAAie and George, also three
brothers and three sisters. The funeral
took place from her late residence, Tues
day afternoon at o'clock, Rev Mr. VIII
der officiating.
