Charles f. Wissert, o. A. Eiesle and Adam
sattig Appointed a Committee to Confer
With Board of Health in the Matter.
The retail butchers of the city are go
ing to make a big effort to get a meat
inspector for New Haven and also when
the time comes to get state law on the
subject.
The retail butchers, with the excep-
ton of the so-called frost butchers"
who only kill meat when they don't
have to use ice, are all united in favor
of having the meat of the city inspect
ed, and have tried several times to have
an inspector appointed, but without
success, the lack of funds being the eX-
cuse for refusing it.
Last evening the Retail Butchers
Protective association took the matter
by the horns and voted to petition the
court of common council to appropriate
money to have an inspector appointed,
and a committee of three, consisting OF
Charles f. Wissert, A. A. Eiesle and
Adam Sattig, was appointed to see the
board of health and try and get their
cooperation and help in the matter.
The inspector if appointed will inspect
not alone meats, but fish, milk, eggs,
etc.
The association, which is also the
state association, will make a vigorous
effort to get a state inspection law as
soon as possible. 1t is however, too
late to introduce bill at this session
of the legislature.
Letters were read from Buffalo, N. Y,
giving details as to the inspectors du-
ties in that city, and similar regulations
will be asked for New Haven. Buffalo
sent Mr.. c. Brokote to Germany, where
the inspection system is the best, to
look up the matter, and the inspection
ordinance in Buffalo is based on the in
formation thus acquired.
The retailers say that the health of
the city Is imperilled by not having an
inspector. Inspectors are now had in
many cities
A committee was also appointed to
make arrangements for holding a bar
becue.

zine of the Turks at Platomona was ex-
ploded by a Greek shell, causing much
damage and loss of life to the enemy.

Turks Have MiIouna Pass.

Constantinople, April 21.-Night.-The
Greek posts at Milouna and Tyrnavo
were captured at noon to-day. The
Turkish headquarters have been re-
moved from Elassona to Milouna.
1t is estimated that the Greek forces
now in the Thessalian Plain in front of
Edhem Pasha and between this point
and Larissa number at least $4,000; but
the Greek prisoners say that their re-
serves are exhausted.
A military telegraphic line has been
exhausted to Milouna, but as yet there
is no postal service. From the heights
can be seen huge clouds Of dust in the
distance, which indicate that large
bodies of Greek infantry are en- route
from Larissa to defend the heights not
yet captured. But they will probably
be too late. The coolness and courage
of the Turks In attack are beyond
praise

Advertising Scheme."
Boston, April 21.-John L. Sullivan,
the ex-champion pugilist, is very much
disturbed by the brusque manner in
which Champion Fttzsimmons disposed
of his challenge. The big fellow, who is
playing in Louisville, KY, has written
letter to his hacker and manager,
Frank v. Dunn of this city, in which
he says:
"My challenge to Fitzsimmons is
meant and goes on record. 1t is no ad-
vertising scheme on my part, but
purely business proposition. The
money posted proves faithfulness on
my part and Is evidence of confidence
dead certainty.
IT want the public to know that I
never laid down or quit in my life,
which is more than Fitzsimmons can
say. All this talk to the public about
his not paying any attention to me does
not go. I will make him pay some at
tention to me and Julian as well.
IT win fight or box him and will bet
that I can make him jump the ring. I
mean every word L say and the public
will know that I am no blowhard the
same as the freak" I can best him
at any stage of the game. I will show
him up in his true light and prove that
I am his superior mentally and physi-
caIly. This is no exhibition of ego
tism. (Signed)

The Greeks were assisted by thou
sands of the reserves. The Turks had
an overwhelming superiority in num-

of the Greeks. On the whole they clung
tenaciously to their defences, While the

own. The crown prince Constant1n IS

Mendou Pasha has prepared to de-
scend at a, m. tomorrow into the
Thessalyan Plain. Taking the road to
the left, which skirts along the base of
the foothills, large bodies OF cavalry

attack the Losphaki Heights, the last
Greek stronghold commanding the Yer
navo. The Turkish batteries, each gun
dragged by fifty men, pushed forward
and bombarded the Greek position. A
deep ravine lay between the two infan-
try forces. The infantry was compelled
to retire.
