BALKAN PEACE CONCLUDED.
EnvOys OF Servia, Rumania, Greece,
Montenegro and Bulgaria Sign.

Bucharest, Rumania, Aug. g.
Peace was concluded to-day at a
meeting of the delegates Of Servia,
Greece, Montenegro, Rumania and
Bulgaria.
The war between the former Bal
kan allies who had fought shoulder
to shoulder against Turkey began on
July 1. On that date the Servian
minister of the interior declared that
Servia was at war with Bulgaria. On
the same day Greece also announced
that state of war existed. Rumania
declared war on July 10 and moved
her troops over the Bulgarian from
tier.
The trouble between the allies
arose from the difficulty of dividing
the territory captured by them from
Turkey.
Severe fighting followed and many
thousand men were killed or wound
ed. Soon after the beginning of hos
tilities numerous massacres and acts
of pillage were reported to have been
committed by the various armies.
The Montenegrin troops never
came into action during the period
of hostilities, although they also were
nominally at war with Bulgaria.

Three Mail Clerks Naturalization
bcrS Escape in birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 6.-The
mail car on tho fast Louisville and
Nashville train, No. 1, from New Or
leans, was robbed last night by two
unknown white men. All OF the reg
istercd mail was taken, but no cSti-
mate could be made tonight Of the
amount secured.
Tho train reached Birmingham on
time at S.37 p. IN. and two OF the
mail clerks, George Hoover and T.
l. York, were found handcuffed so
that the irons had to be filed from
their wrists, while Chief Clerk Harry
Everett had his thumbs securely tied
together with heavy twine.
Che robbers boarded the mail car
at Calera, on the dark side, after the
train had begun to move. The clerks
covered with pistols and ordered to
turn their faces to the wall.
Robbers Leap from Train.
Everett looked around once and
corner OF the car near his head. The
robbers jumped from the train at
Fourteenth street in Birmingham.
Chief Clerk Everett says he has no
idea how much OF value there was in
the registered mail, but that the men
cook it all. He says that they were
Hoth short, slender men, but they did
7ot get good look at the robbers
faces, as they were forced to keep
their own faces turned to the wall
The clerks first saw the robbers
Jump to the mail car on their hands
and knees. One robber kept his pis-
tolls on the men while the other ran
sacked the mail. The distance from
Calera to Birmingham is 33 miles,
80 that they had plenty of time to
make thorough job. No one else
on the train apparently knew that
the robbers were aboard.
When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at Fourteenth
street, Birmingham, he happened to
0ok back and saw the two men jump
from the mail car door. This aroused
his suspicious, and an investigation
revealed the handcuffed clerks.
A quick run was then made to the
louisville and Nashville station,
'Nhere the alarm was given. Every
police station was quickly notified
ana automobiles with detectives
started in pursuit.
T.. G. York. one of the clerks in

HAD HAIL SIX INCHES DEEP.
Terrific Damage Done to Crops in
Georgia County.

Social Circle, Ga, Aug. g. Re-
ports that have come in to-day from
all over Newton county show that
terrific damage has been done to the
cotton crop by a hard hail storm
which hit the county yesterday after
noon. On the farm Of E. l.. Almand,
between Social Circle and Mansfield,
it is reported that not a single stalk
remains that will bear a cotton boil
this season. The neighboriug farm
of William Stanton suffered also al
most total loss Of crop. Other farms
were less severely affected.
The hail storm lasted for thirty
minutes, and It is reported that at
one point, a station called r. Hitch
cocks Store, the hail was six inches
deep after the storm.
Also in Stephens County.
Toccoa, Ga, Aug. GA terrific
rain. hail and wind storm occurred
near Toccoa Tuesday night, devas-
tating the farms and destro. ing the
crops to the amount Of several thou
sand dollars. The storm began about
O'Clock in the evening and con-
tinued until late at night. 1t COW
cred tract Of land some five miles
long and two miles wide.
The crops, especially cotton, were
destroyed the stalks alone being left
standing. Corn was beaten to the
ground and rooted up by the hail and
wind.
Where fifty bales of cotton were
expected it is now estimated that not
more than two bales can possibly be
raised. The loss is estimated to be
thousands Of dollars.
This is the second storm that has
passed over this tract Of land in the
last three months. The crops recov-
cred from the first storm only for
the reason that they were not de-
veloped enough for a storm to do
them any permanent injury at the
time. 1t will be impossible for the
cotton or corn to recover in the least
from the latest storm.
