RO, DEFEATED THEJURKS. Insurgents Cause the Sultan's Troops to Retreat. HEAVY LOSS WAS THE KESULT OF THE SKIRMISH TO THE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANNIHILATED HAD NOT WAIi VESSELS ARRIVED UPON THE VESSELS CAPTURED BY AN AUSTRIAN CRUISER. Cnneu, Mnrch artillery ol the insurgents surrounding the town of Ma laxh having rendered that place untena? ble to the Turkish troops, comprising the Mnlaxa garrison, the latter began to re? treat to Suda Hay last evening. They were pursued by the insurgents, who kept up a heavy lire upon the Turks, in? dicting heavy loss upon them in killed and wounded, until the Turkish warships open lire upon the insurgents, causing them to retire to the interior.

But for the timely assistance of the warships, the Turks would have been well-nlirh annihi? lated. The attempt to revictual the garrison at Mnlaxa. which was made last night, was as disastrous to the Turks as the elfort they made yesterday. The detach? ment of troops carrying a supply of pro? visions was met bj strong force of in? surgents and compelled to retreat with considerable loss. The.

Austrian cruiser Satellit has ar? rived in Suda bay, having in custody a Greek steamer with sixty volunteers on board and a Creek sailing vessel laden with ummunit'on intended for the Ore tan insurgents. These vesesls were can tu red by the Satellit while they were at? tempting to run the b'oekade. Constantinople, March 25. -It is stated here that in the event of a blockade of Greek ports by the warships of the pow ers the admiral commanding the British squadron is under instructions to ne quiesee therein, but the Hritish lleet will take no part in the actual blockade. It is reported that the Turkish squad? ron which sailed from Calliopolis yester? day, ostensibly for Smyrna and Sat.onia, has been ordeied to cruise io the Aegan Sea.

Richmond, March special to the Dispatch from Staunton says: The second day nf the 1 Pith annual session of the Baltimore conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was opened with prayer by the Rev. G. Hammond, of.Christlansburtr. The first business before the conference was the calling of question No. 3, and the following advanced to the class of second year: Evan A.

Edwards, Wil? liam E. Henry, Charles Herbert, David H. Kern. J. R.

Jacobs, A. L. H.irnberger, G. W. Richardson, G.

D. Kldner. These and others were continued on trial. Wallace O. Tolbert was continued in I he class of first year.

Bishop Galloway called lip the twen? tieth question, "Are preachers blameless in their life and olllcial and a resume showed that a uood work was beinc done in the various 'districts and that the ministers the white flowers of blameless lives." Rev. S. G. Ferguson, of Fredericks burg, a gallant Confederate veteran in Mosby's command for four years, feelingly spoke of his'administration id the historic old city. He referred to the great kind? ness he had received from the citizens there and touchlngly told of their sympa? thy with the great sorrow of his life.

I The Rev. George. T.Tyler, of Uppervllle, reported a decrease of forty-live members in his congregation, adding: "A few went home to- heaven; some others know not where." The board of finance'at its meeting in the afternoon reported the sum of 801.87 as the proceeds of the investment of about cured for by them. This is added to the collections for the super? annuated fund, and is largely the pro? duct of a generous donation Charles Shipley of about made for this purpose, at the session of the conference held in Washington two years ago. The joint board (if Hnnnce will pay in full the allowances to the claimants.

The conference takes exceptionally good care of its superannuated preachers and the widows and orphans of deceased preach? ers.

It is believed that the Laurada has broken down and those aboard are in 'need of assistance. The tug Monarch has been started from Pen sacola on the same errand. It is almost, certain that the Laurada has not. landed her big cargo of munitions of war and it. is reluctantly admitted by Cubans here that he mission thus far is a failure.

fYNOKE, ERIL TOO MUGH WIND. The Pirates Played No Practice Games Yesterday. Yesterday was another disagreeably windy day. The dust was flying lu every diiectlon, so the Pi rates didn't go out at all yesterday morning, hut after spend? ing the forenoon In the hotel lobby and walking around town, they concluded to don their uniforms and go out in the af? ternoon. Before they reached the grounds they expected to have a game, but whea they found it so windy unit the sand flying Manager Donovan thought it best not to play a uamo, but instead he had the boys practice some.

Everybody was cold and not in good shape to work. Ely limbered himself up by chasing after the balls the other boys knocked to him in the outfield. The irrepressible Duff had a Kodak out with him, saying he was getting a collec? tion of Pink Hawley views, represent? ing his different make ups, but had run out of Ulms, but still Hawley was spring? ing new clothes on him. The new man, who arrived Wednesday evening. Billy Long, from Chicago, didn't have a showing to see what was in him except that his right arm was all right and he had good action.

Quite an interesting game is promised lor Saturday evening between the Roan oke College and Alleghany Institute. Both clubs have been training hard and are in gooil condition. The make up of the Alleghanvs will be as follows: Bos? ton, Engfeby. Welsh, Duke. Handy, Glass, McClue and Smith will play in the Infield, Withers, Hailentino and Accorsine, battery.

A large crowd of rooters will be down from'Salem with the Boanoke College team and the Alle ghany's will also be very liberally sup? plied with that peculiar species of the genus homo called rooters. "Red" Mason, the Pittsburg trainer, has been selected as umpire. Each club feels confident they will win tne game and it is understood that the winning club will play the Pittiburgs on the fol? lowing Monday. Every day the Pirates stay here they add more friends to their list, not so much on account of their good looks hut because they show up in a gentlemanly manner and are very sociable. There will be two games to-day if it is not too disagreeable.

The grounds aro in good condition and a good many of the local cranks go out every day to see how the boys are progressing. W. J. Thorn, a Pittsburg drummer, is spending a few days with the boys at Hotel Boanoke. Helsa very enthusias? tic admirer of the Pirates and feels con they will capture the pennant this season.

Denny Lyons and Frank Killen arrived yesterday evening on train. They were looking all right, but felt a little used up after their long trip. Denny Lyons has played fi-st base with the club for three years and is noted throughout the league for his heavy batting and is considered one of the heaviest hitters in the league. Frank Killen is a pitcher and he and Pink Hawley are the mainstays of the club. At the meeting of the National League held in Baltimore it was decided that a pitcher's salary should not commence un? til April 15, so Killen concluded he could do as much good at home as he could South with the club, but after trying it for a few days, decided that lie couldn't, so came on down.

Killen has been with the Pirates since 1808 and "was formerly with the Washingtons. Tne boys were all glad to welcome the new comers and a good many local cranks were up last nleht to see them. Denny Lyons is in 'exceptionally fine condition for this time in the year and 1 will not have to do much training. Billy Long, the Chicagoan, it seems, has quite a reputation fcr jhis adroitness in handling the gloves, and Pink Haw? ley wants to hack Red Mason against him for a four round bout some evening. Harry Dav.s has been r'ght stiff for several days, but was fine 'last night.

If the weather will permit there will be a game this afternoon promptly at IbllO. Hawley will be in the box for the regu? lars and the team will play together as they will play during the season. No ad? mission will he charged and everybody Is invited to come out and witness the game. Jno. T.

Chicago, March Judge Horton, of the circuit court, to da? overruled the motions of the board of trade, the West? ern Union Telegraph Company, the Ooid and Stock Telegraph Company and the Postal Telegraph Company, to dissolve the temporary injunctions, restraining these parties from "detaching telegraph wires from the place of business of Harry E. Wiley, the W. Michael Commis? sion Company et ah, from removing 'tickers' and from cutting of? or in any wise interfering with tho 'supply of mar? ket information as has been heretofore The court said: "There is no averment in the pleadings, no affidavit or evidence charging, and no statement or argument upon the theory, that either of-the complainants is con? ducting a'bucket shop1 or is using the market reports for any illeoal purpose. "Since the incorporation of the board of trade in the defendant, Western Union Telegraph Company, has continu? ously been upon the floor ant ball of the exchange of said board except possibly for a short period. The Gold and Stock Telegraph Company is owned by and is practically a part of the Western Uni Telegraph Company.

The defendant, the Postal Telegraph-Cable Compny, has also been for some years upon the lloor of said hall of exchange collecting and trims iuittlug the news as to the market price of produce.thero established. Said tele? graph companies are common carriers of news and as such are to be controlled by the same principles pertaining to the rights of tho public as other common car riers are. The business transacted upon tho lloor of said hall of exchange is so vast in its proportions that it fixes the market price of g'-nin, breadstulTs and meats for the extensive territory that is tributary to Chicago and seriously affects an 3 to it considerable extent controls the values of the necessaries of lifo out the United States and the "The board of trade is a private cor? poration; it has the same rights as other private corporations has. If, however, the board of trade bas'so used or permit? ted such use of its property, or any part of it, that the same has become charged with a public interest, then said board has no legal right to deprive the public of the interest thus acquired when it is sought and used only for legitimate pur? poses. That the price for commodities for this market is practically controlled by the board of trade will hardly be ques? tioned and that the public has an interest in the prices of such commodities Is cer? tain.

In other words the board of trade has become a sort of 'public agent, con? trolling to it considerable extent public interest and the interests of individual members of that public who may be en? gaged in business affected by the market news established by the board of trade. "The defendant telegraph companies have been so long permitted to continue to transmit to the public the 'market and said telegraph companies may now lie considered as agents of the pub? lic for the purpose, recognized as such by the board of trade. Said board is not, however, bound to furnish or to permit to be collected or furnished, in any manner, quotations or market news to or lor the use of any bucket shop. corporation, association. co- partnership or person keeping a bucket shop, and no person, whether acting indi-l dually or as mem? ber, ofllcer, agent or employe of any cor? poration, association, or co partnership in keeping a bucket shoo is entitled to receive any such market, news.

These market quotations have become clothed with a public interest in behalf of such pioducers, consumers, shippers, mer? chants and dealers engaged in legitimate business ami such as use or furnish the same for use in the legitimate transac? tions of the country.
