THE FRENCH SURPRISED.
 Eighty Thousand Chinamen SwOOp
 Down On Tonquin = The French
 Army Completely Wiped Out-The
 Losses On Both Sides.
 LONDON, Aug. 27.-A telegram from Shanghai states that eighty thousand Chinese troops, who had been secretly massed on the frontier, suddenly invaded Tonquin, and after desperate fighting completely annihi- lated the French troops in that province, the Chinese losing several thousand killed during the different engagements, which followed in quick succession. According to the dis patch the massing of this large force on the frontier of Tonquin had been going on for some time under the supervision of expert enced military leaders, and so well did they conduct the affair that the French com manders were unaware of the proximity of any we'll regulated Chinese force until the latter swept down upon them like an ava 1anche, with the above result. The French troops, it is said, fought desperately and re- peatedly charged the Chinese lines, .but as fast as the latter were broken into they closed again with remarkable military precision and many hand to hand encounters ensued, the French finally succumbing to overwhelming odds.
 The French loss in the bombardment of Foo Chow was seven killed and fourteen wounded. The Chinese loss is estimated at 1000 killed and 5000 wounded. The Chi nese man-of-war Yangwu was exploded by torpedo after it had fired g broadside at French torpedo boat. The boiler of the latter was exploded by means of hand grenades from the Yangwu, after which the boat was sunk by the Volta to prevent it's heinz captured by the Chinese The French expected to occupy the heights com manding the Pagoda anchorage. It is re- ported that there are 75, 900 Chinese troops in the vicinity of Foo Chow

ALRION,s MISSING BANKER.
. warrant Out For Warner,s Are,

A Warrant Out For Warmers Arrest.
 ALBION, N. Y., Aug. 27.-Warrants have been issued for the arrest of A. s. Warner, the defaulting bank president. The charge preferred is grand larceny, which is not an extraditable offense. Caulkins, who was an old friend of the deceased millionaire Bur rows, left to-day for Canada to find the fugis tive He will make a charge of attempted murder against Warner in order thus to ob- tain the extradition of his old enemy
 Notwithstanding the wholesale manner in which Warner has plundered the Burrows estate, there are many in Albion who excuse him on the ground that his first speculations were made under the direction of R. s. Burrows, then president of the bank, and who placed money in Warmers hands for the purpose of speculation. They do not, therefore, wonder that he continued his speculations after Bur rows was dead Judge Burrows has returned from Richmond, where he went after leaving New York city to look after securities pledged by Warner He says that he found over $60, 600 that can be re- deemed and saved to the estate. In answer to questions whether he had made any recent Burrows he said: "I will say this, that I don't believe Warner had anything to do with it. I don't think Warner had oppor- tunity or motive" It is stated that he has issued notes of the Burrows estate to an amount exceeding the value of the real estate He is said to be at St. Catherines, Canada.

 When the fast pacing horses were called four contestants appeared: Lorene entered by P " Johnson, Bessie M. entered by w. E. Weeks, George G. entered by Hans. Penn, and Princess entered by James Gold en, As "Knapsack" Mccarthy, who was seated behind the dun-colored gelding George q. and James Golden, who was driving Prin- cess in an opposite direction, came to turn to score they ran into each other and fearful collision ensued The shaft of each sulky was plunged into the breast of the other horse, throwing each horse to the ground. Both drivers were thrown from the sulkies. Mir. Mccarthy suffered from an injury to his foot, the other driver escaping more fortu- nate1y. The horse George G. died from the effects of the injury in few moments and the mare Princess lay grooming on the track in the center of large crowd that collected on the track notwithstanding the efforts of the police to keep them away.
 The suffering animal, being unable to walk from the track, was carried on temporary stretcher to the stable where Veterinary Sur geons Bland, of Waterbury, and Bailey and others were in attendance. The sad affair cast & gloom over those who witnessed the death of one and the painful suffering of the other. Both horses were very valuable, be- ing worth about 8, 900 apiece.
 The horses started in the pacing race. Three heats were trotted, two of which were won by Lorene, when the race was postponed to o'clock to-day. The five-mile running race by Miss Myrtle Peek and Madam Marantette excited much interest. Each of the ladies rode four horses, the change from one horse to another being quickly made without the ladies alighting to the ground. Miss Peek won the race in 10:4119.
