St. Johns, N. F., April 28.
Anxietjr is felt at Kt. 1'ierre is to
the condition of tho fonr snrvivors
of tho wrecked French brigantino
Viallanf, which struck an iceberg
on the Grand banks on the night
of April 1 4th and foundered almost
immediately. Three of them are in
a comatose condition and it is feared
that one will not live through the

cold made it impossible for them to
do anything in (ho way of navigat

pel led to drift helplcasly.
1 lie most horrifying incident of

to which they were driven by there

Closing Events of Greeco-Turkish War.
A London dispatch of April 28th
says : Matters at Athens are likely
to remain unchanged until the
ministerial crisis is settled, when
Tho downfall of the Dolynannis
cabinet is taken tor granted, though
it has not actually occurred. M.
Jlalli, who is likely to Bucceed
Delyanuis, was equally keen for
war.
Little or nothing seems to be
known at Athens or is reported here
as to tho movements ot the Greek
the road to Volo. . Io6eiblv this
indicates an intention of the Tnrks
to march southward. It is said that
Edham Pasha has sent a white flag
to Yolo with the assurance that tho
Turkish troops will inflict no
damage upon the city or citizens.
There seems little doubt therefore,

important surplus food producer on
the globe whose resources have not
been already impaired by recent
crop failures. The merchants of
Groat Britaiu especially would see
the necessity for a large forestalling

rould be in a position of compara

crops of Australia, British India

in recognition of these tacts that the

all bent upon honoring tho memory
ol America's celobrated soldier.
The parade from Madison Sonare
to the tomb was a dazzling spectacle.
fifty thousand men marched in
solid columns amid the hurrahs of
the multitude. In tho North river
over 200 crafts of all descriptions
joined in tho demonstration. The
warships of tho North Atlantic
tqnadron were assembled in double
indented column immediately oppo
site the monument and back of them
rodo at anchor a fleet of foreign war
ships which gathered here in honor
of the occasion, Immediately be
hind tho visiting ships was a fleet

an immense fleet of merchant ves
sels The ceremonies begau with
the marching of the soldiers and
civilians toward the noble temple
which shelters Grant's body. It
was 10:30 o'clock when Grand Mar
shal Dodge gave the order lor the
tirst column to move. From that
hour until evening the air was filled
with martial music. The crowds
along the route were unprecedented.
As the marching columns passed
the monument on the west side,
each column gave a silent salute,
which was repeated on the opposite
side of the tomb, where the men
passed in review of the President.
The whole lino of march was beau
tifully deiorated with flags and
bunting. There was scarcely a
honso along the route which did not
disply the national colors. Through
out the city, too, the decorations
were general. Flags flew from
house tops, while in many instances
buildings were almost smothered
behind profuso decorations. The
larger stands were decorated with
royal purple bunting and American
flags. The speakers' desk, at which
tho President presided, was covered
with tho President's official flag. On
other stands suspended from poles
were hung the eighteen corps flags
of the army.
On. the tomb itself there was no
decoration except double victory
palms bound on the face of each
column of tho front. They were
fastened on the columns with pur
ple silk, which is the color used in
the windows of the tomb to subdue
the light from without.
Oti other municipal stands were
placed tho flags of the foreign coun
tries. In the center of the main stand,
worked in national colors, was the
motto : "Lot ns have peace." This
inscription waa also carved over tbe
facade of the tomb in bold letters,
and was the first thing to catch the
eye at close quarters.
Early in the morning the Presi
dent and Vice-President, diplomatic
corps, members ot the cabinet, jus
tices of the Supreme Court, Mrs.
Graot and fatuity, and the specially
invited guests ot the city assembled
at the Fifth Avenno hotel and pro
ceeded in carriages to the monu
ment. Squadron A, National Guards,
sUte, acted escort for tbe Presi
dent. Four mounted aids, each
from the artny ot the Tennessee and
the Loyal Legion, and a detail of
foorcomradea from George J. Meade

were in carraes as escort to Mrs.

Four Lives Lost.
A New York dispatch of April
28th says : Four persons lost their
lives in a fire at 1378 Third avenue,
Brooklyn, early to-dav. The dead
are Mrs. John Newell and ber two
children, aged three and five years ;
Mrs. Celia Barnett, aged thirty-eight
years.
The flames began in the lower
hall aud spread with great rapidity
through the building, completely
cutting off the escape of the Newell
family, which occupied the top floor.
When Mrs. Newell found the stair
way burning and the halls filled with
smoke, she threw her children
1.0U1S aged eight and John aged
five from a window to the street
below, where fonr men held a blank
et to catch them. The children
bounded from the blanket and were
killed by falling on tho sidewalk.
Airs. Newell was afraid to attempt
the leap and was found suffocated
later in her apartments. Her hus
band escaped with slight burns. On
the floor below lived Mr. and Mrs.
Barnett. They reached the street
in safety, but Mrs. Barnett ran back
into the burning building to secure
some jewelry she had left behind.
She was subsequently found in an
alcove room dead and slightly
burned. The loss is estimated at
25 000. The fire, it is said, was
ot incendiary origin. That many
more lives were not lost is only due
to the prompt action of the police.
It is said near Round Mountain,
California, that a flock ot wild pig
eons gathered in length about one
mile and in width about two hundred
ards, covering many acres of land,
t is supposed they had selected that
place for nesting and raising.
