SMOLENSKI'S ARMY CUT IN TWO, The Left Wing Retires to the Shelter lig Hills in the Direction of Almiros, Whie the Remnants of the Right Wing Fled to Volo. The Turks have completely ruined Velestino. The se*chlights of the warships on the bay, flashing up the mountain sides, were of great assist ance to the retreating Greeks, showing the road through the intense darkness. Over a dozen cannon? were abandoned and captured by the Turks. Two hun dred soldiers were brought to Volo. The opinion is that many Greek wounded were left on the field. It is impossible to state the number killed. Advices from the frontier Saturday afternoon are to the effect that after Gen. Smolensdi's shattered army was cut in two the left wing retired to Al miros. What was left of" the right wing came toward Volo, broken and demoralized. The retreat across the mountain was almost as bad as the Velestino panic, which resulted in the change of base from Tyrnavos to Volo. The scene of the more recent panic was wild and almost indescribable. On Thursday and Friday the populace fill ed the streets of Volo with their house hold goos. The peasants from the surrounding villages fled to the town and added chaos to confusion. Brigandage c'ame common. Five steamers wer mpletely filled with refugees. Scor. of caiques carried fugitives to the islands. Prince Constantine's forces occupy all the defiles througn which the Turk ish troops must pass when they advance, notably those of Agorani and Tiam massi. The inhabitants of Domokos are go ing to the interior. The admiral. in command of the Greek squadron at Volo telegraphed Saturday saying the French and Brit - ish at Vole, accompanied by the com manders of the French, British and Italian warships, have had a conference at Velestino with Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander. The latter prom ised to respect the inhabitants pnd property at Volo, providing the Greek squadron engaged to refrain from hos tilities and retire beyond range. The Greek admiral accepted these "tef.g All the foreigners at Volo havyd - barked for other parts and the ¢town now empty.: . The Turkish Losses. A dispatch to the London Obsgver from Rome Sunday says that Germany supports the demands made by Turkey upon Greece. A digatch to the Ob server from Athens dated Saturday says that the officials and consuls of Salonica reported that the.turkish loss in killed, wounded and ,, k during the recent campaign will rehcj 000. Wholesaie P ring in Alabama. There is a prboi% mystery at Jeff, a small count town near Huntsville, Alaba'ma. I months ago Joshua O. Kelly, a promment farmer and nur sery.man, several members of his fami ly aild a number of t'enants were pois oned. This was thought to have been the result of Mrs. Kelley carelessly placing poison in a cupboard. Kelley died-in intense agony. A party of eleven, sitting up with his body, were poisoned the night after Kelley died. Friday it began to appear there was a plot to poison the family. After break fast every one who had eaten became violently ill. Eight negroes and six whites were seriously affected, and two may die. Among the ill is a drummer from Cleveland, Tenn., who spent the night at Kella'r Disregard a Judge's Order. The mayor and city council of Auburn, Neb., are in jail and are likely to remain there. Judge Stull had them cited to appear for contempt and sent them to jail for disregarding the orders. The city attorney sought re lief from the supreme court, which was dented. Judge Stull Sunday offered to release the oltioers on bail, but they declined to give it. The trouble originated in an effort to open a street. A Banker Indiclted.

Judd, by the federal grand jury at Bay City, for criminal acts in connec tion with the failure of the First Na tinal Bank of East Saginaw. He is charged with making false returns to the comptroller,and with other fraudu lent work. He gave bail in the sum of $5000, and his case fixed for the Octo ber term.
