The prospect of early settlement OF
affairs in Greece is not as bright as last
week. Turkey has sent more troops
into Thessaly, and the Sultan appears
to be determined to hold his grip there,
The powers advise Greece that the ar.
mistice shall be observed by Turkey, but
their demands are couched in milder
language than formerly. England OBJ
jects to the occupation of Thessaly by
Turkish troops until Greece has paid the
war indemnity.

There appears to be question in the
minds of some about the jurisdiction of
the newly appointed disclosure com
missioners. Some claim that the COM
missioner can hold court in no other
place than the town or city for which he
is appointed. The commission gives
Jurisdiction for the county and the
Inference is that he can hold court at any
place therein convenient for him.

1t is favorite method OF free silver
campaign orators to pick out detached
sentences or clauses from speeches OF
prominent Republican congressman, and
attempt to make them do duty in favor
of their own political tenets. In the
campaign last year, words of James G..
Blaine were quoted In favor of free sill
yer, but when Republicans used as a
campaign document the whole speech in
which these garbled portions occurred,
they lost their effect for the purpose for
which used by free silver orators. This
same course was pursued by Hon. Free
man Knowles in his speech in Coburn
hall, the evening of the Goth instant, by
reading extracts from remarks of Mr..
Blaine, John Sherman and others. 1t
may be policy to use this sort of tactics,
but they have no effect where previous
ly exploited.

FATAL CROSSING ACCIDENT.
ELECTRIC CAR CAUGHT BETWEEN
TWO TRAINS AT CHICAGO.
Three People Killed Outright, and
Three Others Seriously
Injured.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-An electric car
on the One Hundred and Third street
line was caught between two trains GO
ing in opposite directions on the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad this
afternoon. The car carried four pas
sengers. beside the conductor and mo-
torman. and three out of the six were
killed outright The other three are
severely injured. and one or more OF
them may also succumb.
The dead are:
George O'Malley, motorman: r. w
Young collector for the Clinton and
Rhodes Company; Peter Fucherspinz
car driver.
Injured: Madison-street car conduct
or. may die; Mary Moschell; Robert
Hinz may die.
The accident is said to have been due
to the recklessness of the motorman
The crossing is protected by gates, and
these We're not down at the time. TC
all appearances O'Malley did not use
any effort to bring the car to stand
still, at least until he had reached a
decline at the side of the tracks. Then
il was too late, and the motor car
crashed through the tracks in front OF
the approaching trains.
When the first train struck the troll
ley ii hurled the car directly in front
of the other engine. Between the two
the trolley car was reduced to splinters
1t was split in half from platform to
platform, and part carried one way
and part in the opposite direction.

The New Zsalander Doing Very Little
Work During the Day
At Corbett's Quarters Nothing But
Activity Was Noticeable All
Day Long, the Champion Going
Through His Usual Programme
and Having a Bout With Jeffries of
Los Angeles.

CARSON (Nev), Feb. pa tele-
gram from New York late this after
noon announcing the death of Mrs. Ju-
liam, FitZsimmons' mother-in-la law,
cast a shadow of gloom over the train
ing quarters at Cooks ranch. Mana
ger Martin Julian was deeply affected
hy the news, although he stated that
he had been momentarily expecting
such tidngs. His mother, Julian said,
had been suffering from some heart
trouble for months, and all hopes of
her recovery We're given up weeks ago.
He will not go to New York to attend
the funeral, nor will FitZsimmons leave
Carson City for the East.
Fitz ran into town early this morn
ing, followed by his trainer, Ernest
Roeber. in a buggy. He went to the
rOstoffice for his mall and remained in
the Government building long enough
to give every photographer in town,
amateur and professional a chance to
reach the spot. The New Zealand box
er has developed a most marked an
tipathy against cameras and in his ef-
forts to-day to eVade the phOto-
eraphers he sustained a fall which
might have resulted seriously. In
stead of leaving the Postottice by the
front door, he thought to outwit cam
era fiends by jumping out OF a WINDOW
on the east side of the building. But
in trying to escape he slipped on a
cake of ice and fell sprawling in the
snow. Before he could pick himself
I'D the photographers were close upon
him, and many pictures were secured.
Bob did very little work to-day. 1t
was his intention to put in three hours
hard work this afternoon, but these
plans We're abandoned at once, When
the sad news from New York was re-
ceived.
over at Corbett's quarters there was
nothing but activity all day long. The
arrival of George Green, who is to
fight Mysterious Billy Smith on
March 18th, was one of the incidents.
He was accompanied by two men from
the Olympic Club of San Francisco.
Both of them are expert handpali
players Corbett put in his usual two
hours at work this morning, the only
change in his programme being the
appearance of Jeffries of Los Angeles
Corbett had a pritate bout with this
celebrity, and although the latter ap-
peared a trifie slow, the champion ex-
poets to receive great help from him
before the training season is over. Billy
Delaney played handball this morning,
but found that the air did not agree
with him.
Manager William A. Brady is ex-
pected here in the morning. 1t is sup
posed that Charley White, the New
York trainer, will come with him.

OHIO VALLEY FLOODS.
SITUATION WORST AT ClNCIN-
NATI AND VICINITY.
Six Hundred Families on the River
Front Driven From Their
Homes.

CINCINNATI, (O), Feb. 25.-At all
| river points from Pittsburg TO Mays
Vile the river is falling very rapidly,
and navigation is being resumed. Dan
ger is over in all tine up-river towns
From MaySville to Cincinnati the
flood is at its worst. Below Cincin-
natl the tributaries are all falling rap
idly, and though the river is very full,
the high tide current of twelve miles an
hour is carrying the water down very
rapidly. No loss Of life or property has
been reported from up-river points
within the last thirty hours.
Right here in Cincinnati and vicinity
the situation is a. its worst tonight
All the railroads entering the Grand
Central Depot are using the Eighth
street station. In fact, the railroad
situation is the same as last night
Upper Cincinnati, at Pendleton. is
flooded. AT least a hundred families
are driven from their dwellings. They
are amply provided for by organized
charity. Up Mill Greek a few families
have been driven from home. Down
the river at Delhi, Riverside, Coal City
and Addison, some families have been
compelled to abandon their homes.
Newport on the Kentucky side of the
river, suffers most, proportionately
Over 300 families have been driven to
higher ground. Large details of police
are employed day and night giving re-
lief. Some deliver provisions to people
in second stories of houses
Covington is almost unscathed. Many
families in Ludlow, live over deluged
cellars, and some have been driven
from their homes.
The village of Bromley, below Lud-
low, is almost wholly flooded. Those
who have two-story houses have taken
refuge upstairs, and receive feed sup
plies from boats.
1t is probably within the facts to
say that along the Cincinnati river
front, on both sides of the river. six
hundred families have been driven
from their homes, and as many more
compelled to live over flooded cellars.
AT 8 o'clock tonight the river stage
was 60 feet S:4 inches, having risen half
an inch in the last hour This rate
may be kept up for two hours. when
the maximum will be reached. When
the recession begins it will be more
rapid than the rise. 1t may be ex
day morning navigation will be re-
sumed at Cincinnati, and all other
points as hy that tine the stage of the
water will be such that steamers may
pass under the bridges
CINCINNATI, Feb. 26.-Midnight-
For four hours the river has been ris-
ing half an inch hourly. Its midnight
stage was GO feet 10la inches, and still
