NO PROSECUTION FOR HIM.
Spaiding Has Made Voluntary As.
signment Of Bonds and Securities
Covering the Amount of His
PeculatiOns.

Chicago, April 15.-Charles W. Spald-
ing, e1-president of the Globe Savings
bank, and ex-treasurer of the University
of Illinois made voluntary assignment
to the University trustees of realty and
bond securities, approximating 100000.
Some of the bonds conveyed to them are
now in the hands of Receiver Leman of
the Globe Savings bank, and desperate
fight will be waged by the depositors of
the bank to prevent them from going to
the University. Criminal proceedings
are not to be brought against the former
treasurer by the trustees, unless they
cannot be lndemnifed for money and
bonds used by Spalding. But suits have
been begun against the First National
bank, the Northwestern National bank,
and the Metropolitan National bank to
recover $4,000, in bonds, hypothecated
or cold to these institutions by Spalding
personally, or through brokers.

1t TranSpires That the Greeks Driven
from Macedonia We're Only Strag-
glers from the Main Body of
Troops, Which is Holding
Its Own Against the
Turks.
GREEKS GENERALLY VICTORIOUS
They Have Captured Several Strategic
Positions Of Late by Hard Fighting
Against Superior Numbers
Albanians Deserving the
Turkish Cause.

Larissa, April 15.-There is no truth in
the Turkish reports that the Greek irreg-
ulars have been driven out of Macedonia,
1t is true, however, that few of the ir-
regulars, who formed a part of the ex-
peditionary force, have returned into the
Greek territory, but these are men who
for some reason had been unable to keep
up with the main body of Greeks, and
consequently retreated across the frontier.
The main body of irregulars are con-
tinuing successful operations against the
Turks.
The report of the capture of Kipur,
north of Baltino by Greeks, is confirmed,
and the additional main body OF irregu-
lars of the expeditionary force, have ad-
vanced as far as Pigavitza, where there is
an important bridge across mountain
torrent. From this point Chief Davelis,
who is directing operations, sent de-
tachment Of Italians under Colonel Cipri-
ami with instructions to attack and cap
ture Zolvof, a small town occupying an
important strategic position.
The Italians accomplished this task
with considerable skill. Chief Davelis
then sent another column to capture
Sitovon, and this movement was also sue
cessful. At Krltudes, Plisia and Kourdu-
zie, heavy fighting occurred between
Greeks and Turks before these places
were captured.
Another column of Greek irregulars
started for Macedonia from Zarcos, half
way between Larissa and Trikkala. Short
ly after crossing the frontier the Greeks
were confronted by strong forces of
Turkish regular troops, in we'll defended
positions in the villages of Anakoutra
and Kanakoutra. Sharp fighting fol-
lowed, but the Greeks carried both viii,
lagos. The Greeks have achieved success
in occupying strategic positions, by hav-
ing irregulars within the Turkish terri
tory before the war is formally declared.
The Greek irregulars now hold all four
OF the roads leading from the Thessalian
frontier in the direction of Grevena,
which may be looked upon as the Turkish
center. According to reports received
from the leaders of the irregular forces,
at least 1000 mountaineers of the country
traversed by the Greeks, have Joined the
irregular forces, and it is further stated,
that the Albanlans are deserting from the
Turkish forces near Mount Olympia, and
escaping into Thessaly ana joining the
Greek forces.

ADVISED TO DECLARE WAR.
Turkish Ministers Have Advised the
sultan That War should BE De-
clared A Against Greece at Once,
hut He Declines to Act.

London, April 15.-A special dispatch
from Constantinople says that in the last
encounter between Greek irregulars and
Turkish regular troops, the latter lost 240
killed and wounded. The dispatch adds
that Edhem Pasha, the Turkish comman-
der in chief, has telegraphed the Turkish
authorities at Constantinople, that unless
he is ordered to cross the frontier and
take up position on the plains of Thes-
sally, his present position will be unten-
able, owing to the constant attack of
Greek insurgents who entered the Turk
ish lines by stealth, and also in conse-
quenoe OF the excitement among his
troops, especially the Albanians. The
Turkish ministers, it is further an
nounced, have informed the sultan, that
war should be declared against Greece.
The sultan who objects to war, has not
yet replied to the recommendation Of his
ministers.

BEET SUGAR MANUFACTURE
A Report Dealing with This Subject
Has Just Been Issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
MUCH RELIABLE INFORMATION GIVEN
The Cooperative Factory Method as
Successfully Practiced in Europe is
Recommended for the Farmers
of This Country.

great deal of information and en-
couragement for those interested in the
sugar beet industry, is to be found in
report recently issued by the Agricultu-
raj department treating of this important
subject. In regard to manufacture,
it says that in 113 factories operated in
Germany, the mean net profit for the
factory was $32,249 for the year. The
price reported as paid for beets is un-
certain, but frst-olass beets rarely sell
for less than IS per ton.
The Western Beet Sugar company, of
Watsonville, Colo, stated that in 1888 80,
the cost of manufacture amounted to
$80.80 per ton of sugar.
When the price of beets does not ex-
ceed IS ton, the Agricultural depart
ment contends that with the best machin-
cry and the most economic process, beet
sugar can be made in this country at a
cost of from to 4 cents per pound.
The cost of erecting factory in Eu-
rope, according to the best information,
with the the most modern machinery of a
capacity of at least 300 tons of beets per
day, is about 100000. In this country
owing to increased cost of transportation
and the higher price of labor this amount
would probably be raised to at least
$25O,O0O. The report discountenances
cheap manufacturing processes, and
holds out no reasonable hope to farmers
for establishing home factories, but pre-
diets that the cooperative factory
methods practioed in Europe, in which
beet growing farmers holds part or
ma ajority of the stock, will eventually
come into vogue in this country. OF
11,672,S16 metric tons of beets delivered
to the German factories in 1886 there
were 2,6ss,eo4 tons grown by share
holders.
The report shows that there are seven
factories now in operation in this coun-
try, and four others in course of con-
struction.
The rate of increase in sugar oonsump-
tion for 23 years has been 27s per cent in
the United States, l42 per cent in France,
159 per cent in Germany, 107 per cent in
Austria and 80 per cent in England.

The River at Kansas City is Rising
Slowly, Bnt Precautions Against
the Flood Have in Most Cases
Proved Effective.

Kansas City, April 15.-The river this
morning had risen eight inches since
yesterday, making it three inches above
the danger line, and it is still coming up
slowly. The water is beginning to spread
out over the lowlands and the rise is
therefore slower than it would otherwise
be. Precautions against the food have
in most cases proved effective, and no
very serious damage has been occasioned.

TwIGGs FOUND 4 NEW WITNESS.
Procured Testimony From the sun
aud Won His Suit

uhu NoA SuIN.
The case of Rebecca Wells against the
Brush Electric Light and Power Com
pany was terminated in the city court
yesterday, the jury rendering a verdict for
5000 in favor of the plaintiff.
The turning point in the hearing of the
case was unique one in which Judge
Twiggs. counsel for the plaintiff, figured
as the hero of the hour.
The suit was for damages against the
company in the loss of the husband of the
plaintiff, who was killed while employed
by and at work for the electric company.
He was killed by an electric current be-
ing turned on the wires he was working
with without notice. There were two wit
nesses for the company, who swora that
the reason the current was turned on was
because il was cloudy and the lights had
to be thrown on the city early in the
afternoon. After these witnesses had tes-
tilted the court adjourned for the noon re-
cess, and Judge Twiggs took advantage
of the recess and went to the weather bu-
reau to look up data about the weather
lon that particular day He asked the OBJ
server If he could tell him whether it was
cloudy or fair May q. 1896.
Yes" replied the weather man, and be-
gan looking uD the records.
THE records OF the office show that II
was fair day. that is fair after II O'Clock
till sunset" was the result Of the inves-
tigation, and no sooner had the observer
spoken than Judge Twiggs was asking
him if he would go to the court house
without subpoena, and make that state
ment on the stand. The weather man was
willing.
In the afternoon he was put on the
stand, and testified as stated Now" said
he, II did not take these records myself
" There was a rustic among the
counsels for the other side. who objected
10 the testimony. No" resumed Mr..
Sherier. Il did not take these records my
self-they were taken automatically and
registered by the sun itself"
Judge Twiggs bears the distinction of
being the first Georgia lawyer. who has
ever called the sun into court to testify.
IL may be safely relied on that the sun
would out-do an electric light any time.
The electric company lost the case on a
former trial the verdict being for $500 for
the plaintiff.

in an intelligent and upright manner.
