Greece Will Intervene.

ATHENS, Feb. 11.-Adyices from
Crete say that fight occurred at Kas-
tell yesterday in which thirty Christ
ians and one hundred Moslems were
killed. The government has formu-
lated notification to the powers set
ting forth that Greece cannot remain a
mere spectator of the events which are
taking place in Crete and that the ties
of race and religion compel her to in.
tervene in behalf OF the oppressed and
outraged Christians in that island.
Preparations are being made on a
large scale to land men and munitions
of war upon the shores of Crete, and
the first installment ofsix hundred men
sailed last evening.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 1.-THE
Porte has asked the powers to support
the efforts of Turkey to restore order
in Crete, and the ambassadors are con-
ferring upon the question of exerting
concerted pressure upon Greece to
compel the recall of the Greek fleet
from Cretan waters.

CoBB's IsLAND.-Cobb's Island, six
miles off the Virginia coast, in the At
lantic ocean, summer resort, seems to
be doomed to total destruction. For
several years the area of the island has
been encroached upon by the sea, and
since the heavy storm of September
last, that submerged the island and
wrecked the main hotel, the disintegra-
ton has been rapid, and now the hotel,
the Norfolk cottage, the pretty Metho.
dist church and several other cottages
are in the surf. The captain of the life
saving station says the fate of the is
land is sealed, and there is no longer
anv doubt that it will be swallowed by
the fury of the waves. The theory that
the action of the sea in time would form
a sand bank on the eastern side of. the
island has long since been exploded.
The cottages of Mr.. Ashby Jones and
Rev. Thos. Dixon and the life saving
station are about the only buildings
standing above the surf line. The life
saving station was moved back a short
time ago, and is now within less than
200 feet of the surf.

BRIDGEroN, N. j., Feb. 11.-White-
caps visited the house of Mrs. Newton
Chester, q white woman living at Port
Norris, last night and ordered her para
mour, Charles Lee, colored, to leave
the dwelling. Lee jumped from win
dow and ran to swamp, followed by
the whitecaps. He was attired only in
night clothes. The gang captured him
and putting rope around his neck
threw it over the limb of tree. Lee
begged for his life and promised to
leave town. The mob then released
the negro and started him of, firing
their revolvers after him as he ran.

THE LATEST discovered official rob-
berg is that of the Congressional Ii
brary at Washington, from which most
valuable historical autographs and
records have been stolen by employees
and sold to collectors of such articles in
New York. Of course not tenth of
the robberies committed by government
employees are ever discovered, let
alone reported. All these employees
were appointed and hold their posi-
tions under the civil service law-the
monumental humbug OF the age. The
robbers can or could calculate eclipses,
but the competitive examinations to
which they are subjected do not in-
clude such insignificant matters as
those referred to in the decalogue.

THE FACT that the wife of Mr.. Brad
ley Martin was permitted to have her
ball in New York last night without let
or hinderance, is gratifying, in that it
shows that yet awhile at least repu-
table citizen can spend his own money
in his own way, and also that there is
certainly one citizen who can not be
deferred by the threats of dynamiters
from doing what he pleases with what
belongs to him.

The SPRING time is coming gentle
Annie, aud so is President-elect Nc
Kinley, but, unfortunately for the peo-
pie of the country, the revival of bust
ness industry that the latter was to
bring with him, seems to be farther of
than ever. Governor O'Ferrall saw
its advancing dawn three months ago,
and millions of other people have been
watching for it ever since, but it must
have struck snag, for nobody else has
as yet obtained. even glimpse of it.
If the Governor were not sober man,
some evil-minded persons might be dis
posed to say he had "em", when he
saw the dawn referred to.
