AFTER CRAlG'SWEilLTH. rennnylvunla 3Ian Seeking a Large Share of u St. Louis Entate. ST. LOUIS, April 23. William J. Craig, of Catasauqua, Pa., is here to try to ob tain what he claims is his mother's dower and his own right in the estate of his al leged father, James Craig. If the story he tells can be substantiated it will dispossess two prominent young women of an estate worth 1200,000 and bring affluence to the closing days of the life of a woman whose eyes have grown dim with flfty years watching for her husband's return from America, W. J. Craig, the claimant. Is sixty-four years old. ile Is manager of large Iron works in Catasauqua. As he tells tne story, he was born In Ireland. James Craig being his father. While he was yet u babe In asms his father came to America, leav ing his wife penniless. When young Craig was ten years old his motner sent him to America and he settled at Catasauqua. While these things had been happening an Irishman named James Craig, who said he was a widower, had fought his way to wealth in St. Louis. In the course of time he married and had a family of two daugh ters, who are now middle aged. A mouth ago James Craig died, aged eighty-live. When his will was probated it caused sur prise, for the second paragraph read: "I give and bequeath the sum of Jl and no more to my son, William John Craig." This was the first hi family had heard of the existence of a son and it caused talk. George Mclntlre knew the story of the missing father and wrote to Catasauqua.

According to advices received here early this morning Tyrnavo, a Thessalian town ten miles from Larlssa, has been occupied by the Turks. Advices are meager and no details of the capture of the place havo been received. Thurs day's dispatches nearly all indicated vic tories for the Greeks on land and sea, but yesterday's repors are in favor of the Turkish army, at least that portion which has Invaded Thessaly. One of the most Im portant developments yesterday was the confirmation of the report from Constan tinople that Osman Pasha, the hero of Plevna, has gone to the front to relieve Edhem Pasha from command of the Turk ish army. Edhem, however, is still direct ing operations, and will continue to do so till Osman arrives at Elassona. The Athens correspondent of the Times says: "Those In authority here regard the situation as highly critical despite tho fa vorable news from Eplrus. Fighting con tinues at Mat!. The Crown' Prince Constan tino has ordered his troops to maintain a strictly defensive attitude. A portion of the western squadron has been detached to bombard the Fortress Parga, opposite Pax., island." A dispatch to the Times from Milouna pass dated yesterday says: "Kdhem Pafha continues to pursue a cautious policy. Ills plan seems to be to capture in sueesslon a numtor of Finall poltfon..hcld -by the Greeks, but to avoid a general engagement. The Turks are making a good military road through the pass. The cannonade continues from the Turks who are advancing on the left wing, but in the direction of Tyrnavo matters are quiet, the Turks having taken and occupied the tovn. Large reinforce ments are arriving and the result of the war is beyond doubt The Turks treat their prisoners with humanity ad kindness." The Athens correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says that tho Crown Prince Con stantino has wired to King George as fol lows: "The Turks are quiet to-day (Fri day) owing to our success yesterday (Thursday.) We have destroyed the Turk ish battery at LIgeria. The Turks have re tired from Nezeros and Rapsanl. The ac tion of our fleet at Katerina was excellent. I was in the first line of fire yesterday." The Chronicle's Athens correspondent says: "The Turks are greatly dismayed by the destruction of their stores at Kat erina and At Lltochorlon. Commodore Sachtourls destroyed the stores from the coast to the foot of Mount Olympus. Noth ing remains, therefore, for Edhem Pasha to carry away but hunger. The coast road being barred, the only remaining road from Salonlca Is the Verrla road, eight days from Elassona. The reports of injury to the railway line by the blowing up of bridges and a tunnel are confirmed. Financially, everything is going well and the value of paper money has risen. It is reported here that the Turkish -troops will be withdrawn from Crete. Private advices from Voio say that all the villages between Katerina and Veria have risen. Among the wounded who have arrived here are several who state that a number of the Greeks wounded at Gritzovali and unable to follow the Greek- retreat were shut up In a small church by the Turks, who set fire to the buldlng and burned them to death." The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Larlssa says that on Thursday the Greeks attempted to retake Gritzovali. A long fight ensued, but the Greeks failed owing to the superior force of the Turks and their stronger position. The Greeks, however, occupy a good position in front of Llgaria, where, the correspondent is convinced, they will be victorious. He adds: "I regret to say that the Turks have burned, after plundering, the villages of Llgaria, Karayol and Meralaria, destroying the churches with dynamite." It has been decided by tho Greek gov ernment to call out several of the land wehr, or militia. In Greece all able-bodied males from twenty-one years of age and upward are liable to be called upon for military service. The total service is for nineteen years, of which two years (with considerable terms of leaves of absence) must be passed with the colors: eight and seven years are then passed in the reserve, and the remainder of the total of the term of nineteen years is passed In the militia, or land we nr. The Athens correspondent of the Daily Mall says It is reported that the Greek army in Eplrus has left a contingent to attack Peneplgavdia, while the main body has proceeded to Plakka, where fighting is in progress. A dispatch to the Daily News from Ii rl3sa, dated Wednesday, says the Greeks are about to assume the offensive against Vlgla and Salonlca: that the Greeks have occupied Karya and that the Turks have suffered unexpected severe reverses.

Immediately on arriving at the Kay of Santl Quuaranti the line of battle was taken up. the war ships spreading out in fan Fhapcj with the torpedo boats occupy ing the outlying points, with the advantage of fire. The cannonade opened in the live host fashion, and continued at high pres sure for two hours. The great destructive nes's of tho shells was soon observed in the dismantling of buildings in every direction. while flames burst out in many places. The fire of the Greek gunners was excellent, and there was no waste of ammunition. TUIKS C1IAXGE COMMAXDERS. Edhem lahti Recalled nnd Omiinn l'u nil a Sent to the Front. LONDON. April 23.-The Sultan of Tur key and his advisers are evidently not sat isfied with the conduct of the campaign in Macedonia. They expected the Moslem army to "eat up" the handful of Greeks in a few days and at once desolate the fair plains of Thessaly. It Is announced from Constantinople that Osman Pasha, the hero of Plevna, has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, having its headquarters at Elassona. Ed hem Pasha has been recalled. In addition SaM Edirx Pasha has been appointed to command the Turkish army having its headquarters at Jnninn, replacing Ahmed lllfzl Pasha, who Is also recalled. The new Turkish commanders started for their posts last evening. Osman Pasha won grunt dis tinction in the Russo-Turklsh var by his defense of Plevna against the Russians. He was born at Tokat, Asia Minor, in 1S32. and received his education at the mili tary schools of Constantinople. He has had great experience as a fighter and was in tho Crimean war, the Cretan campaign and tho Serbo-Turkish war. At the out break of the war between Turkey and Rus sia he was placed in command of the Fifth Army Corps, which did much fighting. He was defeated at the battle of Scokritze and then intrenched himself in Plevna, which he held from Aug. 31 to Dec. P, 177. lie surrendered with 43,toi. He has sdnce been minister of war several times and also oc cupied the post of grand marshal of the palace. Osman Pasha is in personal appear ance and character a typical soldier of the Ottoman empire, being fanatical and brave and very 1 ruga I. lie is regarded as one of the most Invincible soldiers or Europe in a fight behind earthworks, being more of a defensive than offensive general. For som time past his chief duty has leen to taste all the dishes served to tho Sultan and to sec that they were safely conveyed untouched from the kitchen to his Majesty. Later advices from Constantinople ay: An additional force of redifs. or army re serves, has been called out to reinforce the Turkish troops operating against the Greeks. They consist of the konlah Iiri- gade. from Cesarew. a division from Smyrna belonging to the inird Army Corps; three brigades from tho Fourth Army Corps and a division of the Fifth Army Corps. These men will total up seventy-two additional battalions of troops, numbering u0,4U) nun. "It is stated that one of the Turkish brigades which had been pushtd forward on tho plain of L'iri?sa has been unable to advance farther owing to Hoods caused ny rains and th consequent rise of tht; river Salambria. Edhem Pasha yesterday tele graphed asking for tho immediate dispatch of pontoons to enable the troops to cross the river, the Greeks having bknvn up the bridge. These reports have had a very de pressing effect here when taken In conjunc tion with the formidable resistance which the Turks have met with around Tyrnavo. "A dispatch from Salonlca admit that the Greek forces have been successful in their operations against a Turkish division near Louros, Epirus. and another message from the same place announces that a squadron of Greek war ships is bombarding Fort Karaburun. on the Gulf of Salonlca." The Frankfort Zeltung of Iterlin pub lishes a dispatch from Constantinople, dated midnight. Thursday, saying that the news of the Turkish defeat in Greece had just. reached that city. It Is reported, from Constantinople that Izzet Bey will be replaced by Arlf Bey as second secretary and champerlaln of the Sultan. Job for Edhem PiiMhn. LONDON, April 23. A dispatch to the Times from Constantinople says that, while Osman Pasha will take supreme command of all the Turkish armies engaged against Greece, Edhem Pasha will remain in ac tive command of the eastern army, with headquarter at Macedonia. The correspondent of the Daily News at Constantinople says: "It is rt ported that. all telegraphic. eommu licatlon with Constantinople- is now cut off, except by way of Odessa. I am assured that izzet Bey has been received again into the favor of the Sultan." TIIU AVAR IX EPIRIS. Deiernte Fl&litliitr Xeiir Artn Greeks So Far Successful. LONDON, April 23. The Greeks are push ing the war in Eplrus. A dispatch from Arta, dated 6 o'clock last night, says: "The Turks have abandoned Klafa and Kosnit- zadeson, on the left bank of the Arachphos. The inhabitants left precipitately, aban doning their belongings. All along the route to Fort Imaraut (captured by the Greeks) there were evidences of the hasty flight of Turkish households. The belong ings of the Turks were everywhere scat tered about. Tho prefect of Arta has reached Fllllplada. Ho was received with acclamation by the population. A number of Greek wounded have been brought to Fillipiada. The dead were left unburied along tho route. Tho headquarters of Col. Manos, the commander of the Greek forces in Eplrus, are at Stlna. A lively fusillade continues between the Greeks and Turkish outposts arouna Arta. In the villages abandoned by the Turks the Greeks found a considerable quantity or ammunition. A later dispatch from Arta says: "Dur intr the fichting the Turks at daybreak at tempted to rush the bridge and capture Arta by assault. The artillery had been secretly brought up during the night and placed in a position commanding eleva tions opposite the town. Under cover of a furious cannonade the Turks advanced on the bridge and were received with a mur derous rifle fire from the Greeks. The Turks made several attempts to cross the bridge, but in spite of their desperate efforts they never succeeded in getting further than the center of the bridge. There the Turkish commander fell dead. and under the terrible fire of the Greeks the Turks fell back in dUmay. Some time afterwards the Turkish guns were silenced. In suite of this reverse tho Turks renewed the assault during the afternoon, and further desperate lighting followed. T he Greeks, sheltered in their trenches, fought gallantly and held their own. although since the outbreak of hostilities on Sunday the Greeks had not for a. moment quitted their iosts in the trenches. Stories of Turkish atrocities are current here. A Greek ofllcer who says he was an eyewit ness of the affair asserts that in the attack which the Turk rmrue upon the Greek posi tions west of Arta u numk-r of captured Christian women were marched in front of the Turkish lines In expectation that the Greeks would refrain from returning the fire of the Turks for fear of wounding the women." , , According to a special dispatch from Athens, fighting has occurred in the olive groves near Prevesa between the Turks and native Christians. The Greek forces. It is added, while on their way to Fillipiada passed a number of charred corpses. The inhabitant of I-'ikka and Samarina have risen against the Turks and have wel comed tne Greeks with enthusiasm. The western Gretk squadron of war ships has suspended the bombardment of Pre ves.i, the Turkish position north of the entrance of the Culf of Arta. and left this morning for Santiquaranta. On arrival there the war vesse's began bombarding the Turkish blockhouse. A telegram from Constantinople says that while it is true that the town of Pre ves'i has been partly destroyed by the guns of the Greek war ships and those of a bat tery which the Greeks erected, the citadel of Prevesa 1 not damaged and Is still held by the Turks. TlKItmi SUPPLIES CAI'TIiti:!). Work of Hie Greek War Fleet lit the Il- of Snlunlra. ATHENS. April 23. After the bombard ment of Katrina. on the Gulf of Salonlca. by the Greek squadron, had put to flight two battalions of Turks and the inhabitants of that place, tho Greek licet landed a de tachment and found the Turks had left be hind them immense stores of provisions destined for the armies of Edhem Pasha. These valuable stores had been left almost unprotected in the l-lief by the Turks that a blockade of Greece by the fleets of the powers would prevent the main fleet from attacking the Turkish towns on the Gulf of Salonlca. which are near the railroad to Salonlca and which have lieen used as points to land store for the Turkish army and forward them to th front. Tho cai ture of these towns, not to mention the loss of store, places a serious difficulty in the path of Edhem Pasha and It l stated here that a soon as the Turkish, commander-in-chief heard the news of the cap ture of Plataxnona and Katrina, he dis- patched ten thousand men toward thi coast of Macedonia, fearing a fiank attack from tho Gulf of balonica. The Greek licet in returning from tho capture of Katrina bombarded the port of Litchoron. AX ARTILLERY Dl'EL. The Advnnee ot the Turk from .Milouna Puma to Tjrnnvo. LONDON, April 23. The London Mall prints the following dispatches from G. W. Stevenes. its staff correspondent, who is at tached to tho staff of the Turkish com mander: "The Turks have now succeeded in forcing back the Greeks from their posi tion on tho heights above Tyrnavo, and are now preparing for the final advance on Larlssa. About 4 o'clock Thursday after noon the inhabitants of Tyrnavo could be seen abandoning the town and retreating in wild confusion along the Larissa road. The Greek troops fell back in good order, and occupied, with four batteries of ar tillery, the low hill between Tyrnavo and Larissa. There they prepared to offer fur ther resistance. "While they were deploying their guns and taking the range, several battalions of Turkish Infantry, with five batteries of artillery, moved slowly down the slopes of Milouna pus toward the plain. Their ob ject was to support the force of cavalry engaged in making a reconnolssance. Hitherto the ground has been too uneven to employ cavalry, but now that we are gaining the famous plains of Thessaly the Turkish mounted men will bo kept hard at work. They are well mounted, keen and eager to bear their full share of the defense of their country. Indeed, the spirit of our troops Is above all reproach. "Presently our artillery halted, unllm bered and opened upon the Greeks, and a vigorous artillery duel commenced. The spectacle was a magnificent one from the heights, which seemed to have been ex pressly designed to serve as an amphithea ter. Wo looked down upon the battle rag- insr at our feet, and were close to Marshal I'M hem Pasha and his stalf, while in ai 11 directions the hills were crowded with Turkish soldiers, gazing wistfully at the liKht. The marshal and his olheers were ot the opinion that Larissa had been vir tually taken, now that Milouna pass was In the hands cf their men. Edhem Paslta's plans have hitherto been crowned with com plete success. "Below us were serpentine lines of bayo nets glittering in the bright sun. and stand ing out from the deep green of the plains and dull brown of the bare, rocky hillsides. They moved with even cadence toward Tyrnavo. From the mouths of the guns in action below came jets of lire and spurts of white smoke, or gray dust as the recoil of Ihc weapons tore up the ground. Here and there shells were bursting. Few reached our men, however, as the distance was too great, and we suffered but little, though 1 saw a few men knocked over by bursting shrapnel, and there wero several very narrow shaves. "More than once a shell exploded within a very few yards of our regiments without doing any harm, but splinters and shrapnel bullets must have como uncomfortably near. The hill from which the Greeks are firing lies about half way between this place and Larlssa. Soon the Turkish bat tery limbered up. finding that the shells dropped short, and moved forward and then It reopened. Its fire .was better di rected than that of the Greeks, but against their superior strength it seemed to effect little. Our infantry gave its support and commenced a furious fire, to which the Greeks replied. "The aim of Edhem Pasha Is not as yet to fight a decisive battle. He has gained a strategic success of the utmost importance by holding the Greeks in front, while, in lines parallel to our advance, his other col umns move forward by Damasi on Tyrna vo. He has also ascertained tho strength of the Greeks. Our troops are now fast converging: on Tyrnavo. From the position which we now occupy, Larlssa, with its white houses, Is embosomed amidst green trees and glistening in the sun as I send oft this message."

The Greek charge d'affaires here has received a dispatch re ceived at Athens to-day giving the exact situation on tho Thessalian frontier from the Greek standpoint It is as follows: "In Thessaly in the direction of Reveni and Boughazl our forces have penetrated into Turkish territory, and have advanced to wards Damasi. All the attacks of the enemy have been repulsed in the direction of Gritzovali. Our army has occupied a strong position at Matt, where there has been fighting since yesterday. The Turkish attacks have been repulsed. The Greeks had to retire from Nezeros, falling back on the bank of the Derchi, a strong position which they are now defending. In Epirus our army is advancing and has captured Fort Imaret, Fillipiada and several villages. The Greeks havo also occupied Salagora, capturing three cannon, a number of guns and a quantity of ammunition and pro visions. The army is now advancing north wards."

A dispatch re ceived by the Turkish minister to-day from Constantinople says: "A heavy exchange of shots took place on Wednesday between tho division of the Turkish army com manded by Nechad Pasha and the Greek forces without any tangible result. From a demonstration made by the Twenty-first Infantry, the Sixth Battalion of Artillery and the First Division of Cavalry Nairn Pasha was enabled to take a position in front ofthe Greek forces, who are now con centrated in the plain face to face with the Ottoman forces in front of Milouna and Scoumbra passes, having with them eight battalions of Infantry, beside light artillery. A demonstration made by Hawky Pasha enabled him to take a iosltlon on the side of Mlraly plain with twelve battalions of Infantry and with artillery and cavalry. He was thus enabled to cut oil the retreat of tho Greek forces who took position at Coskenvc. The same demonstration en abled llamdl Pasha to take the otfensive against the Greek forces.

FIIILAIlELrillAX'S M'.CK-llllEAK- 1G EXPERIENCE IX CI II A. Ho vv He- Encnped Death After IleiiiR Strung I'p Over nn Open Well IteletiMed ly Spaniard. HAVANA, April 23.-Mlchael J. Kelly, the Philadelphia.!!, who left Havana a fortnight ago for the insurgent camp and was strung up on a charge of being' a spy. but finally managed to escape, was interviewed on his arrival here to-day. He confirmed the ad- Venture, but was reticent when questioned as to his reasons for going to the insurgent camp. He de:;its, however, that he had any understanding or contract with the Cuban Junta in New York. He says that he went out from Havana alone and joined the insurgent forces as an electrician. After a few days he was sent with a sergeant and twelve men on an al leged mission to meet Sylvester Scovel, who, the insurgents said, had just landed. After the party had gone a few leagues from the camp tho sergeant haltt-d his men near an old well, accused Kelly, so he says, of being a spy, stripped him absolutely naked, shot him and, believing that he was dead, put a rope around his neck and hung him over the open well. Th rope broke and he fell forty feet. The water was up to his armpits. They then rode away, and about midnight he escaped from the well and walked several miles to a Spanish out post, where he presented himself entirely naked, with a v.ew of surrendering under the amnesty decree. When the command ant called out to the guard to receive him Kelly was frightened. lie ran and was fire-d at. The Spanish started In pursuit, and he was finally caught a.id taken into the camp. The commandant, on learning why he had run off. and after hearing his story, treated him. Kelly says, with all con sideration, gave him HK)d and clothing, furnished him with a bed and kept him comfortably until the order for his release arrived. Mr. Kelly's head was grazed In several places by bullets, his face nd eyes are burned with iowder and his hair, formerly an auburn, is now almost white. He intends to return to the United S.ates next week. He says the Spanish ofticers treated him much better than he could have expected under all the circumstances. Several of the newspaper correspondents who win leave Cuba to-morrow gave a din ner this evening to Consul General Lee at the Hotel Inglaterra. Among the American Journalists present were Mr. Springer. Dr. Burgess and Mr. Childs. Cuban Camp Captured. HAVANA, April 23.-Lieut. Col.

Both the city and tho State excepted and in noting his exceptions on behalf on the State the attorney gen eral entered a denial of the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in the premise. Tho injunction is very sweeping, restraining the city and all its officers and all its employes and the prose-jutor and all bis deputle-a from taking any steps whatever under tho law either to enforce it or to prosecute or inflict any penalties for its violation. As soon as the order of the court was entered, which w-aa at noon, the Street-railroad Company placed a printer! copy of It in the hands of each conductor with instructions to demand 5 cents fare, but not to eject anybody from the cars during the rest ot the day. This morning, however, the con ductors will be instructed to eject anybody de-cllnlng to pay 5 cents. Tho restraining order is temporary nnd subject to review by the court.
