Dispatches from Tyrnaver, in North
west Larissa, say that the fight in the
vicinity of Eeveni and Eougazi lasted
throughout Sunday. The Greeks cap
tured two Turkish posts, one of which
was re-taken later by the Turks. The
fighting was of a desperate character,
hand-to-hand, and the Greeks are re
ported to have advanced into Damazi
plain and occupied Viglia, which com
mands it, after capturing a battery of
Turkish artillerv.
The second engagement occurreu at :
Griezjvali, where the Turkp, according ,
to last reports received, were attempt

Mesiagcro from Arta says the remaining
Turkish iort at Prevesa has been de
stroyed by the fire of the Greek warships
and the position of the Turks is untena
ble. Four thousand Greeks, the dis
patch adds, have been landed or the

20,000 men, was attended by severe,
fighting, during which the Greek ar
ti.iery batteries distinguished them

Wepatcheg from the front received

The nggrregate stealings of men who
violate public and private trusts, by
defalcation and embezzlement, are
probably much greater every year than
those- of the burglars and highway
men put together, says the Cleveland
Leader.
The record of such stealings during
1S93, as compiled by the insurance com
panies which guarantee employers
against, the dishonesty of their em
ployes, and the- public against, the dis
honesty of otiicials, shows that the sum
of 59,400.91 was obtained. The cases
of embezzlement reported numbered
240. Of these 14 stole more than $."0,
000, $20 more than $100,000. one more
than $300,000, and one more than. $1
000,000. City and county officials stole $1,393,
075, banks lost $3,99G,970, agents em
bezzled $1,043,S75, forgers obtained
$341,500, building and loan associations
$497,578. postmasters stole $32,S15, and
the miscellaneous defalcations amount
ed to $2,175,782. New York leads, with
defalcations amounting to $2.3SS,810,
while the stealings of that sort in Del
aware were the smallest, amounting
only to $1,100.
Couldn't I.lKtcn to Tips.
A sharp Yankee went into Wall street
about two years ego with $1,000 and
has since cleared $200,000. As this was
something really remarkable, a well
known broker was asked the secret of
the Yankee's success, and he replied:
"lie is stone deaf, and therefore cannot
listen to worthies-; tips."
