THE WAR IN THE EAST

Preparations Going Forward For an
AttaCk on Domokos.

MOSLEMS CONCENTRATING.

A Turkish Fortress In Epirus Captured by
the Greek Troops—Sultan Is Appar-
ently In No Great Hurry to
Grant an Armistice.

....

‘ Athens, May 15.—Advices received to-
day from the headquarters of the Greek
army at Domokos announce that the
Turkish forces are executing move-
ments which are believed to foreshad-
ow an attack upon the Greek position.
It is reported that the Turkish left
wing has evacuated Almyros and 'is
moVing toward Pharsalos, to the right
rear of that place, and is is further
stated that General Smolentz, com-
manding the Greek right wing, has re-
occupied Almyros and has restored tel—
egraphic communication with the Greek
headquarters. Unless the rearward
movement of the Turks is the result of
the action of the powers it is believed
to indicate that the Turkish command-
er in chief, Edhem Pasha, is again con-
centrating his troops preparatory to
making a general attack upon the main.
Greek stronghold.

Turks Occupy Villages.

Constantinople, May 15.-—Officia1 dis-
patches received here from Larissa,
dated yesterday, say that the Turkish
divisions which are marching upon Do-
mokos, the Greek headquarters, have
occupied the villages of Hadjiomar,
Bekriler, Karalar, Punar and Var‘dali.
Vardali is only about 51/2 miles north of
Domokos, and Bekriler is situated
about 71/,» miles north of Domokos and
a little to the westward of Vardali. The
Turkish forces should be before Domo-
kos today. 4

Eleven Greek sailing vessels which,
with their creWs, have been captured
have been
brought into the Dardanelles.

Turkish Occupation of Thessaly.

St. Petersburg, May 15.—It was semi—
officially announced today that in well
informed Russian quarters, evidently
meaning the foreign office here, the be-
lief prevails that it will be difficult, if
not impossible, to prevent the forces of
the sultan of Turkey from continuing
the occupation of Thessaly after peace
between Turkey and Greece is con-
cluded. This is an intimation, though
possibly only intended as a test of
opinion, that Russia may not be op-
posed to the permanent administration,
if not annexation, of Thessaly to the
Turkish empire.

Greeks Take Nicopolis.

Paris, May 15.-—A dispatch from Ath-
ens announces that the Greeks have
captured Nicopolis, the site of the
Turkish fortress on the peninsula upon
which Prevesa is situated. Eighty
Turks were killed in the engagement.
The Greek troops have reoccupied Su—
iura without opposition.

Sultan In No Hurry.

Constantinople, May 15.—-The Turkish
government, in its reply to the note of
the embassadors of the powers offering
mediation between Turkey and Greece.
says the sultan will be in a position to
discuss mediation after the great Bai~
ram festival, which began yesterday
and ends Sunday night.

. AWFUL, MINE DISASTER.

Ten Persons Crushed by the Falling of a
. - Tipple In Tennessee.

Nashville, May 15.—A Florence (Ala.)
special to The Banner says:

A terrible disaster occurred at Pink-
ney (Tenn) ore mines, 30 miles from
here. The new tipple, or ore dump, 60
feet high, fell, killing 10 men and boys
outright and seriously wounding sever-
al Others. .

The killed are: Jose Remington, Cal
Kilburn, Will Kilburn, Jim Brown. an
11-year-old son of Jim Brown, Cal
Harris, Landin Harris, Richard Hard-
wick, Matt Crow, Jim Crow.

The seriously injured are: Bill Sims,
W'ill Kilpatrick. Joe Newton, George

Gamble, Cype Gamble, Alex O’Dill,
Donny Brown, two McElmores, M.
Christian.

Of the killed, Remington, Cal Kil-

.burn,Brown, Harris and the two Crows

leave widows and from one to five chil-
dren. Those who are slightly injured
have broken legs and arms and crushed
hip bones and internal injuries. At
least half of those who are injured will
die, but their names cannot be ascer-
tained. All of the killed and wounded
were on top of the tipple when it col-
lapsed. Only two escaped without se-
rious injuries.

One young man, seeing his danger in

'time, jumped 20 feet to a tree and re-

ceived slight scratches and another
jumped to the ground, turning over
several times and alighted on his feet,
only spraining an ankle. The cause of
the collapse is unknown. The dump
was a new One and was tested with 20
cars of ore less than a month ago. There
was only a small weight on it when it
fell. The mines where the disaster oc-
curred belong to J. Craig McLanahan.
Drs. Arnold and Bramlette went to .the
scene on a special train, cared for the
injured and returned this morning.

ators Mills and Chilton and Congress-
man Henry were notified, also Gov-
ernorCulberson and ex—Governor Hogg.

Richard Coke was a Virginian by
birth and in his sixty-ninth year at the
time of his death. He was graduated
from William and Mary college, an an-
cient Virginia institution which in by-
gone days sent forth many subsequent-
ly eminent men. He studied law and,
removing to Texas, entered on and con-
tinued throughout his life to practice
his profession. He was elected to the
bench of his state, but was removed by
General Sheridan as an impediment to
reconstruction. He was twice elected
governor 'Of Texas and three times
elected to the senate. He was almost a

finished speaker, being halting in his
utterance and lacking in ornamentation
either in the words he chose or the
manner of their delivery.

FLIGHT or All HEIR.

Though Nominally “’orth 84,000,000, Hufl
Died In Poverty.

Jersey City, May 15.—Lawyer Robert
Carey’s office in the Davidson building
has been besieged in the past few days
by citizens of Rahway and Plainfield,
N. J., who, during the year 1893, loaned
money and sold property to one John
Huff, who awoke one morning to find
himself sole heir to a fortune of $4,000,-
000 left him by a Californian.

Huff’s townsmen, When they learned
of his windfall, tumbled over one an-
other in their efforts to get into his
good graces. Unhappily for those per-
sons who allowed Huff to become their
debtor, all he ever received of the $4,-
000.000 estate up to the time of his death
two years ago was a diamond collar
button, a gold watch and some cloth-
ing, the personal property of his sup—
posed benefactor. His townsmen re-
cently learned that Huff placed his
case in the hands of Lawyer Carey be-
fore his death, and they are now be-
sieging the attorney in their endeavors
to get back the money advanced to
Huff six years ago.

The story is that Charles B. Easthoff,
who bequeathed the estate to Huff, in
1876 came on from San Francisco in
company with his father to see the
Centennial exposition. The father was
taken ill at Plainfield, where he was
attended by Dr. Gerard. Charles East-
hoff, who was then a lad of 12 years,
formed a strong attachment for Huff.
who was at that time employed by Dr.
Gerard. They soon became fast friends,
and later when old Mr. Easthoff had
recovered and was about to leave for
the west he gave $500 to Huff.

A few years later both Mr. and Mrs.
Easthoi‘f died. Charles, the son, was
the only heir. In his will his father
gave all his property to the son, with
the condition atached thereto that none
of the money should be given to his
only living relative, an uncle, James
Easthoff. Young Easthoff occasionally
visited Huff.

After his death lawyers wrote Huff
apprising him of his good fortune, at
the same time advising him to keep
quiet and‘not disclose to any one his
windfall. This Huff did until 1893, when
the news leaked out. ,The uncle then
came on and protested the will on the
grounds of “lack of capacity” and “un-
due influence.”

The case is still in litigation.

Huff, expecting that there would be
no trouble in getting his money, bought
a house from J. T. Vail, a Plainfield
real estate dealer, for $13,000, agreeing
to pay for it when he got his money.

He also boarded until the time of his
death'with Mrs. Neighl. or on Watchung
avenue, Plainfield, she agreeing to wait
for payment until Huff received his
millions.

Huff, according to Mrs. Neighbor, re-
ceived only enough money up to the
time of his death to pay his expenses to
and from Philadelphia during the trial
if the contest. At one time, she asserts.
the executors drew up a check for $25,-
000 to Huff, but through the interfer—
ence of the uncle some technicality
was raised which prevented Huff from
cashing it.

'While waiting for his fortune Huff
died.
