Lawrence Man, Jeal=
Gus, Kills Woman.

Lawrence. Mass. Nov, 29.-Jealousy
is supposed to have lead to the kill
ing OF Mrs. Varonici Britnas, a widow.
aged 30, in a Harrigan street boarding
house. tonight. Joseph Warnes, age |
2S, a machinist, who was arrested,
several hours later. is said by the po-
lice to have admitted the killing. Ac :
eording to the police, the man was
under the influence of liquor, and UNI
able to give a connected story.
Mrs. Britnas met her death in the
kitchen OF the boarding house, in the
presence of her two young children.
Her assailant is said to have entere
the room, carrying revolver in each
hand. After several boarders, who at /.
tempted to interfere with the man !
purpose, had retreated to the head Of
the stairway, they heard six sho. $
fired. Mrs. Britnas fell dead WITH
four bullets in her body and. the muir
derer fled.
The police say Warnes, who ha
been keeping company with the We
man. was jealous of the attention CT
other men.

Russia Maintains Optimistic View OF
OF SituatiOr=Austria Is Inclined
Towards War==Armistice for a
Fortnight Is Now in Sight.
Turkish Reserves Surrender to BuIgarians- Dove
OF Peace Seems TO Hover Nearer and Nearer.
ARMIsTlcE PROBABLE.

London, Nov 29.-Constantinople
tonight, reports the probability of a
fortnights armistiee being signed by
Sunday by the peace plenipotentiaries,
who are negotiating for cessation of
hostilities between the Turks and the
allies. From the Bulgarian side, there
has been no news, today. concerning
the peace negotiations except the
vague statement that they are max
ing satisfactory progress.
Nothing has transpired as TO wheth-
er the proposed armistice will affect
the whole field of war operations or
only the Tchatalja lines.
The news received. today, of the
surrender of two entire divisions of
Turkish reserves to the Bulgarians in
the neighborhood of Demotica, a short
distance south of Adrianeple, after
severe fighting, shows there are still
large isolated bodies of Turkish troops
unaccounted for, and which must be
considered as arranging an armistice.
The allies are said to have large num-
bers of men aboard Greek transports
bound from the Gulf of Saloniki for
Gallipoli Peninsula, which separates
the Dardnalles from the Aegean sea
or to join the allied army at Tchatal-
ia. No news has been received con-
corning these transports as yet and
the disposal of the men they carry. in
the event an armistice is arranged
would present some difficulty.
Afthntfoh ~ 10 xraf a c.
sumo that an armistice is in sight the
fact that the negotiations continued
at Baghtche and that apparently no
definite time limit has been fixed as
to the duration of the existing sus-
pension of hostilities tends toward the
belief that a peaceful solution of the
trouble is approaching.
There were no fresh developments,
today, concerning the proposed con-
ference between the Powers on the
Balkan situation or concerning the dis
pute between Austria and Servia as

s2oo,ooo,ooo FOR PENSIONS.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Appropria- :
tions of nearly 5000. 600 900 for pensions
TO veterans of American wars will be
necessary at the short session of Con-
gress that viii open, Monday. The un-
usual sum, exceeding all appropria-
tons of former years, will be neces-
sary to make up a deficit of nearly
$2o.000000 resulting from the increase
of pensions under the Sherwood law
of last summer and the proportionate
increase of the general pension budget
occasioned by this act.
Estimates secured by members of
Congress, today, Indicate that the reg
hlar pension bill probably will carry
about s175,0Oo050. This in itself will
be a record breaking total as the
Sherwood law materially increased
many pensions 1t has not yet been
determined whether the deficit of APP
proximately s2o,0Oo,000 will be added
to the regular appropriation I'LL or
put into SOME other measure. The PEN
sion bureau has enough money for the
payment. but will run short between
March and July 1. when the new
fiscal year begins, unless it gets the
extra $50. 900 900.

celebration Committee, 1912, are passing
these records, papers and history along
to you with the special request that as
none of us will be living at that time we
are asking you religiously and sacredly
to care for the contents of this trunk
Doubtless there will be a great many
personal records that relatives will want.
but If granted to them it would establish
a precedent for others to ask the same,
and they would be more likely to be de-
stroyed if they have them.
cit is not necessary for us to ask that
YOU do better than we have done on rec
ords and collection in 1862 for 2012, but
what we have done we are passing to
your care, simply as agents. to pass
along to those who follow you, Please
adhere to this absolutely and completely
Sincerely yours,
