Battle. Constantinople, May 21.—-Although it is not definitely decided, it is thought that the peace negotiations will be con- ducted between Turkey and Greece di- rect, and that afterward, following .the precedent of the treaty of San Stefano, the terms will be submitted to a European conference, which will probably meet at Paris. Turks Near Turatza. Athens, May 21.——The Turkish forces, in pursuing the Greek troops retreating from Domokos, kept up harassing at- tacks upon the latter until last even- ing, when the Turks learned that an armistice had been agreed upon. The Greek artillery retired in good order, but in retreating the artillerymen lost several wagons and a big gun, which was upset. The Turks now occupy the Greek fortifications, an hour’s march from Taratza, which is occupied by a regiment of Greek cavalry. The losses on both sides during the retreat were considerable. Several Greek officers were killed and wounded. An armistice between the Turkish and Greek troops in Thessaly, to ex- tend over a period of 17 days, was form- ally concluded today. Lamia. Deserted. Lamia, May Ell—(Delayed in trans- mission.)——-This townis deserted, with the exception of the prefect, the news- paper correspondents, the telegraph operators and a few others. The Retreat From Domokos. Athens, May 21.—A correspondent of the press who was with the Greek army after its retreat from Domokos has ar- rived here fromthe front, being unable to transmit his dispatches from Do— mokos on account of the wires being He furnishes a picturesque account of the battle of Domokos, fought on Monday last, confirming the stories previously told of the heroic conduct of the Greeks, but also fur- nishing confirmation of the complete break down of all the Greek military organizations and the failure of their generalship. He says: “On Saturday the Crown Prince Con- stantine informed the British ambu- lance doctors (Red,,Cross society) that there would be no more fighting and that they would better disband the hos- pital and ambulance corps. “On my way to the front I found around Lamia 40,000 refugees, miser— able from three days’ incessant rain and having no shelter except a few blankets. Women were giving birth to children on the sodden ground and the road along the precipitous pass was in— cumbered with commissariat trains, rickety country carts drawn by feeble horses. “I heard sad accounts of the state of the army. The men had no tents in the heavy rain and for days they lay in the trenches or on the open ground. The weather was bitterly cold, the neighboring heights being covered with snow, and there were much fever and dysentery among the troops.” The Battle Redescribed. The correspondent then describes the battle of Domokos, his account agree- ing with the stories previously cabled. In corroborating the reports of the bravery of the Greeks, he refers espe- cially to the young recruits and to the Garibaldians who, “in red shirts, caps and green trousers, did splendid work and inspired all.” Continuing“. the correspondent says: “With the Garibaldians was a 'vivan- diere with a red jacket. She fearlessly attended the wounded under a hot fire and during the confused retreat and never lost touch of her wounded until she had them safe in the German am- bulance hospital at Port Marino.” Touching um the retreat from Do- mokos, the correspondent remarks: “At about 9 o’clock at night (Monday last) it was evident that the fight was lost. Orders were given to retreat, and al- though the road to Lamia was often blocked by the peasants with flocks, bullock carts and donkeys and by the belated commissariat carts going to the front and the remount horses for the cavalry and artillery there was no dis- order. The bright moonlight saved the refugees from a panic. ‘ “The crown prince had watched the battle from the balcony of his head- quarters building and from a rock above the town. A carriage, with pos— tilions and an escort of cavalry, await- ed him. At dawn the prince departed. “Late that afternoon, while I was in the square at Lamia watching a long string of carts and carriages bringing in the wounded, one of the prince’s servants appeared and whispered: “'Prince Constantine is outside the town.’ “The servant had come for coffee. "A little later I saw the prince, with a large escort, making a detour of the ’ town of Lamia, wisely avoiding enter- ing that excited place. “On entering Domokos the Turks set- fire to many; portions of the town.” The Government of Crete. London.

Boston, May 21.—Nothing has yet been heard of Albert M. King, the 19-year- Old messenger of the Boylston National bank, at the corner of Washington and Essex streets, who disappeared yester— day with $20,000 of the bank’s money. The young man lived with his parents at Wollaston and was regarded as thor— oughly trustworthy. He had left the Boylston bank to collect money from the Freeman’s National and the Union National bank at about 10 o’clock, and it was some time later that'the cashier of the Boylston bank began to get un- easy. He telephoned to the banks to which the young man had been sent, but it was not until noon that the police were notified. When the news was received at police headquarters, it was kept quiet, but Chief Wales immediately put the mem- bers of the bank squad on the case and had the railway depots watched. It was found that King had collected the $20,000 from the Freeman’s National bank, on Franklin street, and had also been to the Union bank and to the clearing house, but after that all trace of him was lost. It was not long after the disappear- ance of the messenger that evidence washsecured which indicated that the boy had been reading about the exploit of Joe Kelley, the. Somersworth mur- derer. One of the things that strength- ened this suspicion was the discovery in his room at home of the catalogue of a costumer’s house in Boston. A memo- randum was also found which indicated that the boy had evidently been making preparations for flight. It referred to “two tickets for Wells River, Vt.” Young King is a member of one of Wollaston’s best known and most re- spected families. His father, Samuel M. King, has lived in that town for many years, and is a. clerk in the Box- bury Institution For Savings. Soon after young King left school he secured a place in the Boylston Na— tional bank through the efforts of Mr. H. W. Bailey, who is now in Europe. At that time, and in fact up to two weeks ago, when his habits became such as to cause his parents some un- easiness, he was a model young man. One night about two weeks ago he remained out very late at night. Pre— vious to that time he had always gone home early after his work was done in the city and spent his evenings at home. He was fond of sport, and spent considerable time riding a bicycle. Aft- er the night mentioned about two weeks ago he began to go out in the evenings, and last night nobody could be found who went with him on these excursions or who knew where he went. The officers of the Boylston National bank refused today to say anything about the affair. This was also true to a certain extent of the officers of the other banks mentioned in connection with the affair. Public Park Officers Meet. Louisville, May 21.—The convention of public park officers of the United States met in the Gait House parlors this afternoon. The meeting will con- clude tomorrow with a drive about the city.

J.; Theodore Leshen, Wil- mington, Del.; William Canby, Wil— mington, Del., and J. N. Gawthorp, Wilmington, Del. A Peerage For Tupper. Montreal, May 21.——Sir Charles Tup- per’s friends say that he will be made a peer of the realm on the occasion of the queen’s jubilee in June. It is fur- ther reported in circles friendly to the leader of the Conservative opposition that he 'will retire from Canadian pub- lic life and spend the remainder of his days in England. This would be a wel- come step to the younger members of the party in Canada. Convicted of Bribery. Buffalo, May 21.—In the trial of Thomas F. Maloney, suspended super- intendent of streets, for bribery, a ver- dict of guilty was returned, the jury having been out five hours. The ver— dict establishes the fact that on June 27, 1896, Maloney offered General W. S. Bull, superintendent of police, $250 to protect the promoters of the Goelet club, a concern at 17 West Eagle street. The Belknap Bank Suspension. Laconia, N. H., May 21.—-Depositors of the Bellmap Savings bank are in a fever ~of excitement today over the sus- pension of that institution. The bank owes fully $1,000,000 to its depositors, and when the doors closed yesterday all sorts of rumors gained quick circu- lation. The statement was made today that the bank will go into voluntary liquidation. Howard Gould’s Love Affair. I New York, May 21.—Howard Gould sailed for Europe on the City of Paris. Miss Katherine Clemmons, who was on the stage for a week, and who, it is said, is engaged to Howard Gould, was also a passenger. Mr. Gould, if he mar- ries Miss Clemmons or any other wom— an without the consent of George and Helen Gould, will forfeit, under his fa- ther's will, $5,000,000. The Papal Consistory. Rome, May 21.-T'he pope today pre- sided over a consistory held for the purpose of obtaining the adhesions of bishops in the coming canonization of saints.

N ot considering the question in its moral aspect, New Canaan is losing con- siderable of its retail trade this year by the fact. bf no license, as many of the workmen in the town, who have in years . past, with license, purchased their hats, boots and other apparel in the borough, now walk to N orwalk, about three miles, and purchase their upplies. Many of them—foreigners- like a glass of beer, and Saturday nights will have it. If not. sold in New Canaan they go Where it. is sold, and the town loses their custom besides the 81,000 or more from licenses. Such are the facts, irrespective of the moral ar- gument against'sellin0‘. , . "Edi; -~—.‘-’_~_- C. Ford Seeley, of Stamford, is send ing out entry-blanks for a twenty-mile road race, June 10.

There are sickness which leave an outward semblance of III-L health. This ficti- . "7,14 ' tious health is like ' a bubble that - bursts at a. touch. It is like an empty egg shell that the slightest pressure will crush. The outside of the body may look all right long after disease has begun its dreadful work inside. If a man looks well and doesn’t feel well, he had better be governed by the feeling not by the looks. A great many ap- parently strong and vigorous men collapse suddenly. They have what is known as ner- vous prostration. They go along ersist- ently, day after day, working hard an think- ing hard. apparently healthy, and some day they go home and go to bed and don’t get up again. The trouble didn’t all come at once. It came on gradually. A strong mal can live on his nerves and his health for'l' long time without apparent injury, but it isn’t a safe thing to do. Whenever there is nervousness, or insomnia, or undue fatigue from ordinary work, when irritability takes, the place of contentment, when a man ‘,‘ isn’t sick but doesn’t feel quite well”— then is the time he should begin to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best tonic medicine and nerve food, or invigorator in the world. . It assistsdi- gestion, increases the appetite, promotes thorough assimilation of the food, purifies the blood and adds to it the life-giving 'n- ciples that are needed to feed the Sta. (1, nerves. It puts the whole body into perfect tune, and stimulates each organ to doth: work for which it was intended. Thou- sands of people have been brought back to happiness and vigorous health.
