non restaurant. a5 Roosevelt street, the
headquarters of the Greeks in this city.
They had three old buglers of the Greek
army with them and they wished to
shout and sing and sound the trumpet
call early-in the morning. The noise,
however. was stopped by the police.
Shortly befors 10 o'clock the warriors
and their friends formed in procession
and, headsd by a brass band, marched to
the foot of Morton street. there to board
la Champagne and make start for the
fight.
just before the vessel sailed James
Patterson, the local representative of the
national league, made an iInpassioned
speech of encouragement to the departing
warriors.
Among the Boston Greeks Is Constant
inc Vaselas, who was the engineer of the
Crawford house. When he was leaving
Boston the proprietor of the hotel told
him to so home and fight, and that his
place would be held open for him.

HIS WIFE ESCAPED,
Murderous Deed of an Insane Man a,
Augusta.

Augusta, April "a. in temporary fit
of insanity, Fred Anderson, aged 40
years, fired two shots at his wife this
afternoon, both missing her. He doubt.
less thinking her dead, turned the weap-
on upon himself and fred, the bullet
passing from over his right temple out
through the right eye. He will probably
live. The escape of Mrs. Anderson is
wonderful. Her husband grasped her by
the shoulders with one hand, reaching for
this revolver in his hip pocket with the
other saying, "We might as we'll die and
be done with it'' She broke away from
him. As she ran from the barn where
they had been standing, he fred the first
shot, which just missed her. He again
fred at her, but With no better aim and
then fred OF himself.
For about year Anderson has shown
signs of insanity. and efforts had been
made to have him go to the insane hos
pital located in this city. His wife was
unwilling, and trusted that he would
recover under her care. Previous to
year ago he has been employed in saw
mill. While there is no doubt of his in
sanity, 1t was not very sudden fit that
impelled him to do the deed, as he had
remarked to neighbors on his way home,
tonight" He has for some years been
temporarily melancholy. No arrests have
been made.

Turkey, to break off all diplomatic re-
lations with Greece and to expel the
Greek Consuls and Greeks from Rulgari-
mn territory.
The Bulgarian government took the
matter under consideration, and it is
announced, has declined to do so, declar-
ing that she will observe neutrality dur
ing the war between Turkey and Greece.
The refusal of Bulgaria to acknowledge
her vassalage to Turkey Is regarded as
being very Important departure and
as foresbadowing the declaration OF the
independence of Bulgaria.
The ambassadors of the Powers, ct a
meeting just held, have decided to adj
dress identical notes to the Turkish gov
eminent asking that the Greeks employed
by foreign ministers, consulates and
hospitals and all Greek eocIeslastic be
permitted to remain in Turkey. The
ambassadors also propose that the for
ign consulates uss their good Offices
In behalf of the Greeks who represent the
interests Of foreign capital, and finally
they will recommend that in any case
the Turkish government should obseI We
moderation.

time, but 1t Is now regarded differently.
At meeting of the personal creditors
of the late f. r. Had1ey, treasurer of
the Bennett and Columbia mills, this
morning, it was reported that his per-
sonai liabilities were S27s, 900. with other
contingent liabilities of the Bennett and
Column bia mills, whose notes he had
endorsed. His total.assets are 1852, 6O6.,
of which amount $685. is the face
value of stocks owned ny him. His hold
ings of stock are SO complicated that
this statement indicates but little. He
had stock in the Columbia mills to the
amount of 1873, 600, and 4l0 shares of Ben
nett mill stock.
A committee of five was appointed to
to act in conjunction with the assignee.
Points of law which haveneyer arisen
must be decided in the settlement of the
estate, it is said. For instance the ques-
ton whether the assignee or an admin
istrator snail act will be problem.
A clue to Mr.. HowlaEd's fate is rro-
badly furnished by Capt. Webber of the
ferry boat which runs across the river
to Fair Haven. On the trip from Fair
Haven to this port at q late hour last
night the captain saw row boat con-
tanning single oaIsman, apparently
rowing aimlessly about. On the return
trip Of the ferry boat the same row boat
WAS seen but the occupant was gone.
This fact taken with the statement made
to his bookkeeper that ne would jump
overheard has frightened Mr. How
lands friends, and preparations are be-
ing made to drag the river tomorrow.
Friday night5was pay night at the How
land mile, but the operatives were told
To come around today. When they pre-
ssnted their checks at the office no paw
WAS forthcoming. Ibis fact has added
to the bad outlook for the mills.
Rowland had not been found up to
Sunday night. The river will be dragged
Monday.

insane woman, went home at noon, he
found the headless body of his mother
on ths floor in front room. His wife

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Senators Investigating the Workings of
the Law.

Washington, April a4-The Senate COM
mittee on civil service of which Senator
Pritchard Of North Carolina is chairman,
began today.its investigation of the civil
service under the resolution recently
adopted by the Senate. VIM. BIashland,
an ex-Union soldier, testified to having
been dismissed from the Office Of the
United States treasurer which he claimed
was done in order to make place for the
son Of Register Tillman, 1. boy II years
old, who had not, he said. been required
to pass a civil service examination.
he said there were other appointments
under Register Tillman of whom an ex-
animation had not been required.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
also before the committee. He expressed
the opinion that chiefs of division in the
executive departments and others charged
with executive responsibilities should not
be included in the classified service
Secretary Wilson also expressed the opin-
ion that the heads Of the executive de-
partments should have some latitude in
the selection of men for responsible
places and that the test of witness should
be that of experience and judgement
rather than merely educational.
VIM. G. Conner. bookbinder In the
government printing office, said that no
educational qualification was required
IN many classes of work done in the
binderies. lie charged that girls APP
pointed under the rules of the classified
service had to be taught to do the work
required after they were appointed.
William e. Ryan. late clerk in the
Treasury Department. who made the race
for Congress in the 31st Congressional
district Of New York last fall in the
Democratic ticket, detailed the ciroum-
stances of his dismissal. He claimed to
have been absont without pay though not
without leave, during the campaign.
while he understood that many other
government officials such as the Secretary
of the Treasury. Comptroller Eokels and
even the chairman of the civil service
commission were absent, on pay. He
said that when he returned to his desk
in November he found his dismissal
awaiting him, but that he was reinstated
in February and again dismissed in
March. This latter dismissal Mr.. Ryan
claimed to be due to the fact that he
would not consent to desist his contest
for the seat in Congress. He said that
Logan Carlisle, a son of the secretary and
chief clerk OF the department, had told
him that the prosecution of the contest
could avail him nothing. Mr.. Ryan said
he had no doubt that his dismissal was
for purely political reasons; "because my
views differed from those of Mr.. Carl.
isles" he said.
A letter was received from Secretary
Gage In which he stated his general COM
mendation of the civil service system.
Senator Pritchard announced his pur-
pose to ask the heads of all departments
to appear before the committee in order
to make the investigation thorough.
The COMMITTEES adjourned until Satur
day next.

and sad faced crowd that filled the little
Greek church early Sunday morning,
