TO LEAVE LARISSA.
Victorious Turks Continue Their
Successful Advance Against
the Christians.
OSMAN PASHA TO DO A GREAT DEED
Sultan’s Finances Very Short—Bulgaria De
fies the Turks—Greek Warships De
stroy Santi Quaranta.
Constantinople, April 24.—News re
ceived here from Epirus is most se
rious. The Greek division, which de
feated the Turks at Fiilipiada is con
tinuing its march on Janina, near
which place a strong Turkish force is
gathered and an important battle will
most likely be fought.
The most alarming news received
from Epirus is that four battalions of
Albanians belonging to the Luro di
vision of the Turkish army, have mu
tinied and are said to have deserted
to the Greeks.
An official dispatch dated today
from the Turkish commander of the
corps at Janina, Epirus, announces
that alter a desperate battle, lasting
several hours, the Turks have captured
Fort Besphouinar, where the Greeks
were entrenched after crossing the
frontier and advancing along the
river Luro.
DESTROYED THE CITY.
Greek Warships Leave Little to Mark The
Site of Santi Quaranta.
Athens, April 24.—The Greek gquad
ron, which bombarded Santi Quaran ta,
left Corfu yesterday morning and on
arriving at the Bay of Santa Quaranta
imme 'iitily formed a ile of battle.
The warships were spread out fan
shaped and the torpedo boats occupied
points of vantage. The Are was open
ed in the liveliest kind of a cannonade
for two hours, the great destructive
ness of which was soon observed in
the dismantled buildings everywhere,
while the flames broke out in many
places. The tire of the Greek gunners
was directed most admirably and no
ammunition was wasted
The Turkish garrison, about noon,
was seen to have sought refuge in the
fort.
The bombardment by the fleet was
thereupon redoubled, and under this
tierce fire a detachment of Creek sail
ors was landed and immediately pro
ceeded to destroy the storehouse of the
Turks, beginning with 1,600 sacks of
flour which were found on the quays.
After rapidly completing this work
while the fleet imposed silence on the
fort, the Greeks set fire to the remain
ing storehouses and destroyed large
quantities of munitions of war which
had been collected for use of the Turk
ish forces in Epirus.
After this work was completed the
Greek sailors returned to their ships,
leaving the whole place in flames and
bringing with them fifty Christians,
who had hoisted a white flag over a
house in which they had collected.
The Greek gunners took special care
to avoid hitting this building.
TURKS TAKE LARISSA.
They Advance And Drive The Greeks Back
to Pharsalos
London*, April 24, —Special dis
patches from Athens this afternoon
say that after a desperate battle at
Mati, in which the Greeks were out
numbered, they retreated with heavy
loss, abandoned Tyrnavos and Larissa,
and removed their headquarters to
Pharsalos, a small town on the right
bank of the Phersalitis, and at the
north foot of a spur of the Charsidiari
mountains.
Pharsalos is about twenty miles due
south of Larissa.
BULGARIA DEFIES TURKEY.
Will i.W't.d The Sultan's Forces By Ex
pelling Greeks.
Constantinople .April 24.—As pre-
vUiusly aunouicid in these dispatches
the Turkish government seme days
ago, called upon Bulgaria, as the vas
sal of Turkey, to break off all diplo
matic relations with Greece, and to
expel the Greek consuls and Greeks
from Bulgarian territory.
The Bulgarian government took the
matter under consideration, and it is
now announced has declined to com
ply, declaring that she will observe
neutrality during the war between
Turkey and Greece. This refusal of
Bulgaria to acknowledge her vassal
age to Turkey is regarded as being a
very important departure, and as
foreshadowing the declaration of the
independence of Bulgaria.
COUNTING ON OSMAN.
Unless the Great Fighter Can Make a De
cisive Blow, All Will Be Lost.
I T ew York, April 24. —A dispatch to
the World from London says: Unless
Turkey can bring the war to a rapid
termination the triumph of #reece
cannot be prevented, it is asserted, in
quarters in which the real situation is
thoroughly understood, especially the
desperate state of the sultan’s finances.
Therefore, Osman Pasha, the hero of
Plevna, has been sent to the front
with orders to strike a daring decisive
blow without loss of time.
The situation is deemed to be su
premely critical, and unless Osman
Pasha can gain 8 conspicuous triumph
the cataclysm of Constantinople,which
the powers have disgracefully com
promised themselves iu trying to pre
vent, may come at any moment.

Situation.

has been stationary around the nine
teen-foot mark for about three days

terrific, it is nobbing in comparison to
the anxiety as to what the river is go

perts frankly admit that they are un
certain as to the whereabouts of the
crest of the flood wave. Several of
them predict that the danger period
will not be over for thirty days yet.
On the other hand, practical men
living along the side of the river, who
have watched .the Mississippi face to
face for years, are certain that the fall
is about to begin, and that the danger
period will soon be over.

CLOCK-TICKS.
A Few Expressions of Public Sentiment On
the Proposed Improvement.
The following expressions on the
much-discussed city clock question
were noted yesterday by a Times man :
John Lehman—We need a city clock
to keep time on my race horse.
W. B. Burroughs—l am in favor of
it with my w hole heart. It is needed
more than any improvement that the
city could make. The rain falling
into the tower for years will do as
much damage as the clock would cost.
D. J. Dillon—l certainly am in favor
of this needed improvement. It will
be a great convenience to the people,
and will show a finished city hall to
strangers visiting the city.
J. E. dußignon—The demand is so
great as to be almost imperative.-
people, from what I can learn, are
overwhelmingly in favor of the im
provement.
Otto Johannesson—To defeat this
needed improvement would be a cry
ing shame.
W. E. Kay—l am opposed to it on
account of the city’s financial condi
tion. It is a luxury that Brunswick
cannot afford. When she is out of
debt will be the time to buy it.
Judge Symmes—lf I can arrange
the question of time with my numer
ous creditors the council can keep
time where it will and when it will. I
don’t know- what kind of a clock the
city needs, but as forme, why. give
me a 90 day one.
L. C, Bodet—l am in favor of it, I
think the laboring class need it and
want it, and they should have their
wish gratified. The tower, in its
present unfinished condition, is going
to rack.
J. W. Bennett—lt would be a great
convenience I am perfectly willing
to leave the matter entirely to the city
officials, who know better than I
whether or not the city can afford it,
COMING TO CUMBERLAND.
State Medical Society To Convene on Cum
berland Next Year.
On Friday Dr. Hugh Burford tele
graphed the State Medical Society,
which has been in convention in Ma
con, inviting them to hold the 1898
convention in Brunswick. Yester
day morning he received a message,
in answer, expressing regret that they
were unable to accept on account of
having decided on Cumberland before
Brunswick’s invitation was received.
A Times man yesterday heard ex
pressions of regret from several prom
inent citizens that t lie convention will
not be held here.
One said : “It will of course be of
some help to Brunswick to have tlie
convention on Cumberland, but it
would be incalculably more beneficial
to have it in the city itself. Our peo
ple should work for the upbuilding of
Brunswick, and tbe island resorts will
be directly benefitted by every addi
tional resident secured for the city.”
Their Jobs Abolished.
Bob French and Rem Crawford are
jobless. The Plant System has abol
ished the offices held by them, tbe for
mer as traveling passenger agent and
the latter as press agent. Crawford
has gone to New York to get a news
paper position and French will prob
ably be placed in another department
of tbe system’s service.
Incandescent Lights.
The new incandescent electric light
system of the Brunswick Light and
Water company was completed yes
terday and at 4 p. m. the current was
turned on for the first time as a trial-
The system proved perfect under the
test of the current, and at dark tbe
current was turned on for the night.
Saw the Defect.
Miss M. Clare de Graffenreid, of
Washington, tbe widely known maga
zine writer, is in tbe city for a short
visit. Miss de Graffenreid is quick to
note defects, as is evidenced by tbe
fact that in passing the city hall yes
terday, she said: ‘-Why, they didn’t
finish tbe tower.”
