SHOT AS THEY WADED THE SEA.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE LAST DISTRESSING KE-
TREAT FROM EPIRUs.
London. May 19.-The correspondent OF "The
Daily News" at Patras. describing the last
retreat in Epirus with special reference to the
experiences Of the Botzaris column at Prevesa'
says:
zone commander committed the mistake of
informing his weary, hungry and rain-soaKed
troops that they must retreat quickly. There
was a narrow escape from a panic. The men
retreated in fair order to the shore with the ex-
cert,on OF 200. who had apparently not been
warned and were. therefore, either killed or
taken prisoners.
"At the shore however a genuine panic oc-
CURED. The Turks still quiet. but the
Greeks. finding no boats, fell into despair. and
finally started to wade across the aim or the
sea dividing them from Gil eek territory. 1t was
a two and half hours' job, the men hounder-
ing breast high in the water.
when dawn broke the Turks discovered what
vas happening and began to shell the groups OF
waders, whose position became most distressing
Many Of them were drowned. either falling
wounded or stumbling out Of their depth. The
condition OF the force when 1t finally reached a
place of safety was In n. last degree lamenta-
BILE.
The total loss of the Epirus my during the
three days fighting five hundred killed and
one thousand wounded missing. many OF the
latter of whom must be accounted dead"

The Greek armies have evidently evacuated
Thessaly. Davenfourka Pass is the chief pass
across the mountains OF Othrys, which form the
boundary between Thessaly and Livadia, or Greece
proper. 1t is about eleven miles south and "a tri-
fe east Of Domoko and long ago chosen
the point at which the projected railroad from.
Athens TO Lar!ssa was TO cross the mountain
range. Ii Is ten miles northwest Of Lamia. Tho
main Greek Army under the Crown Prince Is,
therefore. the point Of exit from Thessaly. and
has perhaps, passed the point.

The September term of Federal Cout
convenes this afternoon. Judge jack
son and the clerks have not arrived, but
will be here this morning United
States District Attorney Joseph ii.
Gaines and his clerk, S. B. Avis arriv-
ed last evening from Charleston and
are stopping at the Windsor This is
the first time that Mr.. Gaines has ap-
peared in this city since his appoint
ment as district attorney. He is a
young man Of distinguished appear
ance and a lawyer of marked ability.
He got his appointment through the
recommendation and warm support of
Senator Elkins. He was bitterly OPP
posed by Congressman Dorr, Of the
Third district, because he had been
an opposing candidate for the Con-
gressional nomination in the Third
district. Dorr is supposed to
if Gaines secured the appointment that
it would give him prestige that would
be unfavorable to DORIS future polit-
ical interests.
In a conversation with District At
torney Gaines last evening he said to a
Register man that while he had an am
bition to go to Congress, he would not
be a candidate until his term of Office
expires.
Asked about the business to be
transacted by the Federal Court, he
said that the most important case would
be the oleomargarine suits. These are
brought by parties in different parts
of the State, who are suing the revenue
collector to recover taxes collected for
selling oleomargarine bought of a local
dealer. The claims aggregate consid-
cradle amount. Governor Atkinson is
attorney for the parties bringing the
suits and will be here to attend court
in person and push the claims against
the government revenue collector. A
test case will probably be made of the
claim of the firm of Hubbard & PAUL,
Of this city.
This case has been postponed twice
before and may have to be postponed
again owing to the absence of special
Examiner Bowen, who may not be able
to attend on account of sickness. Mr.
Bowen's presence is necessary, as it
was he that had made the examina-
tons of the so-called oleomargarine
when the cases first came up for trial.
Governor Atkinson declares his inten-
ton of insisting upon the court hear
ing the cases, as they have been de-
ferred long enough. Another case will
be the trial of counterfeiter. Attor-
ney Gaines said that a grand jury
would be in session, but he thought
there would be few witnesses examin-
ed He did not know the extent of the
civil docket

Z
Many of the Glendale and other min
ers of this district continue to leave
for the Pittsburg district, where there
is great scarcity of miners. The
miners at Glendale have been very
badly discouraged and regard any
change as advantageous. The opera
tors have coaxed them to remain, but
their efforts in this direction have
proven unavailing.
Not only from Glendale, but from
other mines on this and the Ohio side
of the river. are the miners leaving
for Finleyville and other mines along
the Wheeling & Pittsburg division of
the b & 0. railroad. The operators of
the Pittsburg district are compelled to
import some good miners if they hope
to get out the coal needed for the lak
trade. The operators had hopes of
filing the contracts before the insur-
ance is taken off the vessels on the
lakes, and they still propose that such
shall be the case, if possible. They
cannot, however, hope to do so with
the force of men they have in the
mines now.
With the array of skilled workmen
who were in the Pittsburg district be-
fore the strike was organized such
thing would have been possible, but
not under present conditions. The
assertion is made by operators who
know that the men who are now in
the mines in the Pittsburg district
are doing about half as much work as
would be expected of first class min
ers, such as have been working in that
field. Several thousand of the Pitts
burg district miners have gone to the
ore fields and coal mines of Michigan
and other States during the recent
strike, and but very few of these have
come back.
