Turlts violate ArmIstIoe.

London, May 2O-The latest reports
from Athens show that skirmishes took
place in many places. The Turkish
commanders in Thessaly, pending def
mite orders from Edhem Pasha, will
only accept an armistice of "a hours.
There is little doubt, however that a
fortnights armistice will be arranged.
1t Is difficult to ascertain exactly
what occurred after the retreat from
Domokos. Apparently the Turks con-
tinued TO advance, and either in igno-
rance or willfully ignoring the armis-
tice negotiations attacked the Greek
rear guard. After several combats,
lasting three or four hours, the Greeks
were compelled, about in the morning,
to retire toward Lamia.
The news Of the fighting caused a
general flight from Lamia during the
night. The telegraph officials fed with
the rest, and this cutting of communi-
cations led to the widest rumors at
Athens until the clerks could be induc-
ed TO return and communication with
Lamia was restored.

that from this moment you suspend
hostilities and will only resume them
IN the event Of an attack. Disclaim all

own designers and as attractive objects
of display.
When their purpose is served they are
glad TO dispose of the costumes at a
third of their cost, If this can be done
without interfering with their regular
trade. The goods are dead stock"

of good stores, promising that they
would not be sold in this vicinity. Then
he secured the "elite directory" OF
Chicago and addressed number of neat
circulars to a selected list of names in
viting the ladies to inspect number Of

He reported having received the follow
ing amounts: From Edmund Mitchell,

S42O. The city auditors attention was
called to the fact that some money had
been received from the Diamond State
Iron Company for oil and had not been
reported
Chairman Oberly, of the Finance
Committee, exhibited vouchers of De-
cember II, which show that the oil
money was received from Auditor Pyle
and deposited on the same day in the
Union Bank by the city treasurer to the
credit of the city. There was simply q
clerical error in not making out a sir
of the item and returning same to
Council.

IOUSLY.

TOWN WHO TAKES IT SER
IOUsLY.
City Treasurer Curry is a man easily
worried, and his friends are almost jol-.
lying him to death to-day. On Deem
Der II the Diamond State Iron Com
pany paid the city S45.76 for some OH.
1t was Immediately receipted for in du-
plicate, one receipt being given to the
purchaser and the other laid aside to be
presented to Council. In some manner
this second receipt was lost after the
city auditor had passed upon il, and
after the money had been paid into
Union Bank. Il may be that Clerk Klo-
berg forgot 10 take Il over to the clerk
of City Council. or It may have been
mislaid after he took 1t there.
BE this as 1t may, at the meeting of
City Council last evening the question
of the failure Of City Treasurer Curry
to account for the money was called up,
and this morning Councilman Oberly
visited the office and asked for infor-
nation. He was shown the receipts
and books there and the receipt from
the bank for the money City Auditor
Pyle also assured the councilman that
all was as 1t should be. Mr.. Oberly
told an Evening Joprual reporter that
It was all due to someone failing to
transmit to City Council the duplicate
| receipt
But Mr. Curry is worried. He thinks
that the newspapers all over the coun-
/ try will herald him as another public
official gone wrong, and declares that
the Christmas pleasures are spoiled so
| far as he Is concerned. All OF his
friends are laughing over his worri-
ment, but he declares that it is no joke
to him. Meanwhile the person who was
responsible for the blunder is having
his teeth filed sharp for the mastication
OF turkey tomorrow. Apparently the
/ only man who takes a serious view oi
the situation Is the city treasurer.
