have not vet been able to reach a solu
tion of the Cretan question. Proposals
and objections are being exchanged
hourly. Ihe program drawn up by the
admirals in Cretan waters is as follows:
First A blockade of the island of
Crete.
Second A blockade of the Piraeus
and some other Greek port9.
Third--Seizure by a detachment of
the fleet of the telegraph offices at Syra.
Fourth Any Greek warshipsjencoun
tered are to be taken to the island of
Miloand kept there.
Fifth Any Greek warships firing on
any foreign w arships are to be sunk, and
the act to be considered a casuB belli.
Sixth Any Greek torpedo-boat Hear
ing n foreign warship is to be fired at.
Seventh As the blockade of Greece
will require all the crews of foreign war
ehips, each power is to pend to Crete a
battalion of infantry of not less than
500 men in number.
Each of the foreign admirals tele
graphed a copy of these proposals to his
government, Germany immediately
telegraphed toe powers that she would
accept the proposals down to the
seventh, and would accept the seventh
in principle, liut had not a battalion
available. Austria wired the powers
that she would accept the proposals, but
as Emperor Francis Joseph was at Cape
Lartin, she must have time to consult
with his majesty. Italy telegraphed her
acceptance ot all the proposals, but it
was added they must be submitted to a
cabinet council, which will be done
within three days.
P.uasia, Great Britain and France were
Eilent for a time, and then Great Britain
proposed that a gendarmerie be organ
ized in Crete by utilizing Greek troops,
not using the Greek flag, and not using
Greek ofFicers in this connection.
Russia eventually answered that as
the powers had presented their ulti
matum to Greece, and Greece had re
plied by offering to withdraw the fleet,
the answer wbb conciliatory, and partly
satisfactory. Therefore, Knseia pro
Posed a further collective note, demand
ing the withdrawal of the Greek troops.
France seconded the reply of fiueeia.
During the pour parlois a general
acreement was suggestion that the pow
ers should each advance a certain sum
for pay to a gendarmerie and the ex
pense of organizing an autonomous gov
ernment in Crete. Thie was immediate
ly objected to by Germany, on theground
that ehe wag not willing to spend a
Pfennig f0r this purpose.
France, thie afternoon, proposed to
the British foreign office that the pow
ers proceed immediately to organize a
gendarmerie, naming a governor for
wte from Holland, Belgium or per
haps Switzerland. Several namea were
considered. Great Britain points out
tbat members tof the ' previous Cretan
Rendarmerie ran away and mutinied,
w the Greek troops are best available
r tbla Purpose. Consequently this
Proposal wm probably be the 'modus
vendi by which the situation will be
eived, ae there is no doubt the GreekB
wl accept it.

Indianapolis, March 12. A sensa

Thursday morning a pretty and hand
somely dreBsed woman about 20 years
old, arrived at the hotel and registered
as Mrs. K. Jenny Doty, of Middletown,
O. The chambermaids being unable to
enter her room, became alarmed, and
one of the bellboj-B entered the room
thrnnh the transom. He was hornneu
to find the woman, fully dressed, lying
on the bed in a pool of blood, with a
small pistol at her side.
At the bedside of the woman was

'To Whom It May Concern: Hold
no autousv. but bury me in my wedding
clothes, as I am now. Notify R. Alice

CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
An Indiana Man Arrested for Murdering
His Niece.
Chicago, March 12. Nelson Will
iams, chanted with causing the death of
Maro Swain, his 13-year-oltl niece, has
been arrested and locked up at Ham
mond, Ind. He resisted the otlicere,
and it was only after a hard fight that
he was overpowered. Williams was
taken to the city jail and will bo held
pending an investigation into the death
of the girl.
During a post-mortem examination
by Chief Malo, Trustee Ross and Coro
ner Crawford, suflicient evidence was
received to incriminate Williams; but
when the officers called at the place
where he roomed they wore confronted
with barricaded doors. When the door
was forced open, Williams etooii in the
middle of the room with an uplifted ax.
Chief Malo demanded that he surrender,
but instead of this, Williams made a
vicious lunge with the ax, the blade of
which grazed the officer's left shoulder.
After a struggle, Williams was over
powered and dragged down stairs nnd
into the street, where an angry crowd
of residents had been brought together
by the report of the little girl's death.
, The story of the child as to her in
juries was told to ner mother and a
number of women a few hours before
she died. During her death struggles
she murmured : "You won't let Uncle
Nels hurt, will you, mamma?" '
Nelson Williams is 40 years old, and
has heretofore borne an excelleut repu
tation. The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
litttle packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedv is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in
an artificially digested form and at the
same time aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of his stomach until it
is restored to its natural strength and
vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will oft
times give marked relief. Get a bottle
from your druggist and try it.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
Struck In Selt-Defenfie.
Colusa, Cal., March 12. Mrs. Frank
A. Hoover killed her husband last night
during a quarrel, by striking him on the
head with a piece of gaspipe, and his
death resulted soon after.
Hoover and his wife nad had numer
ous quarrels, and tho neighbors were
long ago made aware of marital differ
ences in the Hoover household. The
reason generally assigned was jealousy
on the part of tha husband. Last even
ing when Hoover returned from his
work he engaged in a quarrel with his
wife at the supper table. The quarrel
was a lively one, and continued until
both left the house to settle the differ
ence in the yard.
Hoover advanced toward his wife
threateningly and to protect herself ehe
picked up a piece of gaspipe and Btruck
him behind the left ear. Hoover fell
dead.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testmonials. Address,

BOSTON'S NEGLECT OF POE.
No Fitting Recognition of ItU Farac la
, In tho Wholo Country.
I havti mentioned the circumstance
that it has never occurred to t he town of
Boston to erect a monument- to l'oe,
who, next to Franklin, probably lnus the
most world-wide fame of all the men of
letters native to that- town, and l'oe was
connected with Boston not alone by the
important accident, of his binUi, but
by the commencement there of Ins lit
erary career, itself an event worth com
memorating. So -far as I am aware,
Boston never awarded to Poe the honor
which, in the. case of her dead literary
men of eminence, shesometimw deems
worthy to be taken in lieu of any fur
ther monumental attention, namely,
tho calling1 of a public meeting by the
mayor, at which addressee a re made nnd
complimentary resolutions adopted.
The name of Poe is, indeed, carved on
the. outer walls of the public library
at Boston; so are several hundred other
names. Their purpose is chiefly deco
rative. However, Boston's neglect in respect
of Poe was but the neglect, of all the
rest of' the country. His kindred left
his grave at Baltimore, unmarked and
a fund of about $1,000 had to be raised
by public subscription to place, above
his ashes the tmbonutiful mortuary
monument which now bears his name.
If an enterprising commercial person
had not. hired the cottage in which Poe
lived at Fordham, justout of New York,
and put up above its door the lnrge
sign 'Toe's Laundry," surmounting it
with the figure of a raven, thereby
arousing the wrath of many people, in
cluding the owner of the cottage, and
shaming them into a protest, it is prob
able that the poet's fame would still
be quite destitute of any public memo
rial. Atlantic.
