Assembly Adopts Schurmeiers
ResoiutIgns by a Vote of
Five to Three.


The assembly fast night approved
the Schurmeier resolution requiring
brewers and brewers agents to pay an
annual liquor license fee of $1,000, ana
also his measure instructing the license
inspector to do a strictly cash business

measures must be acted upon by the

The latter order provoked little COM

Assemblyman Doran,s comment. "The
brewers will never pay license, for

TREAcHERoUsLY RUTcHERED.
More Atrocious Deeds Are Charged to
the MussuImans.

LONDON, Sept 4.-The Daily Mails
correspondent, in a dispatch from
Monastir, dated Aug. 81, tells of an in
effectual attempt he made to penetrate
the Albanian Gordon and reach Ar
mensko. He was threatened with
death and compelled to return under a
guard. He gives numerous instances
Of Turkish brutality and treachery.
The villagers of Armensko were mas
sacred before a single insurgent visited
the place. The inhabitants of the viii
lage of Nevollkas, near F'lorina, were
butchered while on their way to Flo
rina under guard, after having surren-
dered on guarantee Of immunity.
AT Florina the Christians are in a
state of abject fear and are handi-
capped by bigoted Greek metropoli-
tan who orders them to stay in the viii
lage and not flee, with the result that
the savage soldiery murder them by
the scores. The European residents Of
Monastir, including the cOnsuls, are in
state of great anxiety. Many, includ-
ing the Italian consul, have recently
been insulted by soldiers. Operations
commenced last Thursday on an or
ganized scale against the insurgents,
and bodies of troops are operating in
all directions, but no details have yet
arrived.

building of the new structure.
Klein's property fronts Aurora avenue.

when the site for the new capitol was Sc

the exception of his and a few other lots

the funds.
The approach to the capitol encroached
on the street vacated by the council and
now it is Klein's contention that the va

accomplished as prescribed by the charter.
For the damage alleged to have been
done to his property Klein asks the
court to award him $1,000 and an injunc-
ton preventing further use of the street.
The application for an injunction will be
