fifteen years. Tuesday afternoon services

Moore.
After singing one verse of "Not All the
blood OF beasts on Jewish alters slain &
etc" The Biblical reader explained to the
man hundred friends and school children,
that her love for Major was as great as it
was Tor her niece and nephew; for he was
faithful friend and companion to her
invalid mother, when she was at school
and the children were away
she never knew him to steal piece of
meat OF bread even il it was within his

To Tax Banks Ad Valorem.

Louisville, March 25.-The court of
appeals at Frankfort yesterday decided
that the banks of the state must be
taxed under the ad valorem system.
thus reversing decision rendered
something over a year ago. This de-
cision comes as blow to the banking
institutions of the state, which have
been taxed under the Hewitt bill, pass
ed in 1886, and provided for the pay
ment of rs cents on each S1OO worth of
capital stock. Under the ad valorem
system they must pay the regular tax
rate not only on their capital stock,
but on all the property they may have

GREEK TROOPS DRILLING

be Broken-The Danger Of Delay in a
Definite Solution of the Crisis Is In
oreasing Daily.
London, March 25.-The war corre-
spondent Of The Times now on the Ma
cedonia frontier says that In his opin-
Ion the Greek army is not yet ready to
take any decisive steps. The officers
must first drill the raw levies and or
ganize an efficient transport system.
But, he adds, the appearance of things
along the frontier is in the highest de-
gree warliae. Every possible post is
held, and all the roads are patroled by
cavalry.
The Times correspondent at Athens
says that all kinds Of rumors are cur
rent there as to the expected rupture
OF the European concert. The dan
ger Of delaying definite solution of
the crisis increases daily. The Crown
Prince Constantine is expected to start
in few days for the Greek camp at
Larissa, and the risk of serious out
break Is becoming more and more in
tense.
The report of a conflict between the
Turks and Greek volunteers at Arta
has been officially confirmed. Other
Incidents of the same character must
be expected.
Neither Greece nor Crete has bene-
fitted much in the past by compliance
with European behests, and unless
some visible proof is given of the COM
plete abolition of Turkish rule in Crete
the country will not be satisfied, the
correspondent says. 1t Is alleged that
the reserves will refuse to come out on
a future occasion unless satisfaction is
obtained now for Greek sacrifices
The Ephemeris, which is obviously
inspired by the court, confirms the
statement that the sultan offered to al
low Prince George to administer Crete
in return for the payment of tribute
to the porte, but that the powers stop
ped negotiations 1t is believed that
Germany and Austria did their utmost
to prevent such friendly arrange
ment being carried out.
1t Is believed at Canea that the
blockade will be failure as coercive
measure. The Austrian gunboat which
captured a Greek steamer in Cretan
waters was compelled to put into a
Cretan port to escape the storm.
1t appears that certain of the powers
are negotiating some new scheme. All
the war correspondents on the frontier
admit that the situation there is ex-
tremely grave.
The Athens IGDhemeris recalls the
kings declaration that he would nut
himself at the head of the Greek race
If Greece were coerced, and adds that
nothing has yet happened to modify
that decision,

ing, and tho Heroic Life Savers Rush
to the Rescue.
Seabright. N. j., March 25.-Schooner
Emily d. johnson went on the beach
here at 1880 in the morning, and after
an exciting and heroic scene all the
members of the crew of six were saved
by the life savers of the neighboring
station.
Washington e. Connor, the New
York broker, has house right on the
coast at that point. 1t was on his
premises that the schooner was driven
ashore in heavy gale. At latest re-
ports she was pounding on the shore,
and Will be a total wreck. The vessel
is schooner of small tonnage, and was
bound from Baltimore to New York
at the time of her disaster.
Mr.. Connor's servants were the first
to be aware of what happened in the
surf within hail of the brokers' garden,
and hastened to arouse the life savers
of the village. The brave surfmen
turned out in full force, and speedily
rigged the apparatus on which alone
they could depend to save the lives
of the seamen who were in peril.
In the fitful CLEAN of the rockets, by
which they sought to throw line over
the deck of the schooner, the crew
could be seen clinglng to the shrouds,
waving their arms with frenzied ges-
lures towards the shore. Huge waves
were dashing over the deck and threat
ening at every moment to sweep the
sailors from the rigging.
After several attempts well direct
ed rocket carried a line clear over the
wrecked vessel. By dint of great ex-
ertion the crew and captain managed
to manipulate the line so that they
hauled on board the breeches buoy fix
ture that was attached to it, and by
this means they were brought to safety,
one by one. In the driving rain, and
hidden at times by the spray that shot
over the cradle, they were hauled to
the beach.
While the work of rescue was under
progress the entire village of Seabright
had been aroused, and the shore was
lined with women and men, who cheer
ed the life savers.
