MRS. BYERS'S LONG CHASE.

Her Husband, a millionaire Iron Manu-
fsetursr. kidnapped and Carried 40, 900
miles
PIrrsBURG. September l9-Mrs. f. NJ.
Byers, wife Of the millionaire iron manu-
iacturer, Of this city, to-day fled a seusa-
tiooal petition in court asking for
the CUSTODY Of her husband and
his estate a commissioner was ap-
pointed 10 take testimony. Mrs. byers IN
her petition tells = most sensational story.
Sue SAYS she has been married twenty-twO
years About two years ago, B. Shields,
an employee OF \. NJ. Byers, her Orother-in-
law, kidnapped her husband and took him
10 Chicago, where he was placed in the Gus
tody of Dr.. L. ". Tallman. Tue latter took
Byers TO Duluth aud then to 81. Paul.
where he was placed IN a hotel under the
charge of Eva Ditty, a trained nurse.
Mrs. .ByerS located her husband, on
August %, 1898 The party, including
Mrs. Byers, then returned to Chicago.
Here she alleges morphine was
surreptiuOusly administered by DR..
Tallman, and while she was uncon-
sclOus her husband was again carried of.
Byers was then taken from place 10 place,
generally outside the United States, COW
erinC about Al, 900 miles. Mrs. Byers spent
thousands of dollars searching for her nus
band, and finally located him in Japan.
She sent her agent samuel Boyd, for
her husband, and they returned 10 San
Francisco. Here they were met by DR..
Tallman who endeavOred 70 regain possess
sion Of Byers. Finally on July 30, 1894,
an agreement was signed oy all the inter-
ested parties 70 the effect that Byers
should return to Pitts6urg without any in-
reference in the custody Of Boyd. At St
Joseph. Byers was taken from the train
on a writ Of habeas corpus, but at
the hearing was remanGed into
Bovd's custody. a few hours later Mrs
Byers alleges II. B. Shields. Peter L. Ken
nedy, John Davis and DR.. Tallman again
kidnapped Byers and took him TO Chicago
where all trace Of bin was lost. few
davs ago Mrs. Byers found her husband in
the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane
ia philadelphia and he is now under her
care.

SHANGHAI, September 10. - Dis
patches from Corea announce that the
first battle between modern ships OF
war In eastern waters has taken place
on the Yalu river, north of the Gulf Of
Corea, and that both sides claim vic
tory.
The Chinese squadron it appears was
covering the landing Of large force OF
troops, destined to reinforce the Chi
nese army operating against the japan
ese in Corea. According to one account,
the Chinese succeeded in landing the
troops, but, in an engagement which
followed with the Japanese feet, the
Chin-Yu or Chen-Yu, of the Chinese
feet. was sunk and the Chao-Yung and
the Yang-Wei are reported to have been
run ashore. One other Chinese warShip
and three Japanese ships are also said
to have been lost.
Admiral Ting, the commander OF the
Chinese northern fleet, and Col. Won
Hannekin, formerly aid-de-camp to
Viceroy LII Hung Chang, are reported
to have been killed during the engage
ment. Col Won Hannekin will be re-
m EN- mbered as the German officer who
was on boark the transport Kow Shing
when she was sunken by Japanese
cruiser with the loss of about !, 200 men.
4 report says that the Japanese sue
ceeded in preventing the landing Of the
Chinese troops, and, therefore, the jap
anese claim victory. 1t is added,
however, that the japanese lost four
warships and that the Japanese fleet
was compelled to retreat after having
suffered heavy losses in killed aud
wounded. The Chinese fleet, it is also
said, has returned to Wei-Hai- Wei.
The second report says that Admiral
Ting and Col. Won hennekin were not
killed, but were severely wounded.

HAD TO FIGHT.
The Chinese Squadron Hemmed il by the
JapRueso Fleet

The Chinese Squadron Hemmed IL by the
JaPaueso Fleet.
LONDON, September l9.-Dispatches
from Shanghai confirm the report OF
battle fought on the Yalu river between
the fleets of China and Japan. These dis
patches also agree that the Chinese
shiIs were escorting troops bound
for Corea. The battle was fought on
the bay at the mouth of the Yalu river.
The Chinese troops were the second
army corps, composed entirely Of Hu-
anese. The ships Of both nations, il is
admitted, were terribly damaged. The
japanese had the advantage OF the
weather berth, and so maneuVered that
both the Chinese warshlps and trans
ports had to fight it out
The Chen Yuen, after fighting her
guns TO the last, was sunk by tOrpedoeS,
aud smaller Chinese vessel, which was
unarmed. was blown up. The steel
cruiser Chao-Yung was so damaged that
she had TO be oeachtd to escape capture.
The cruiser Yang-Wei was also driven
ashore, and has become a hopeless
wreck. The news of the battle has
created intense excitement, and II is
believe that II the Chinese admit this
much the actual facts must be very
serious.
Another dispatch from Shanghai says
that the Chinese warship sunk was the
Chi-Yuen, although IL is believed that
a mistake has been made aud that the
important Chinese warship sunk by tor
pedoes is the battleship Chen-Yuen, the
flagship of the Chinese northern squad
ron, commanded by Admiral Ting.
Late dispatches from Shanghai an
nounce that the entire Northern feet OF
China was engaged, reinforced by some
ships OF the Foo Chow squadron. The
number OF japanese warShipS engaged
is not stated ana ss many OF their ves-
sells were stationed off the Ping Yang
inlet, at the mouth Of the Ta-Tong
river, their number in the gulf OF Corea
was probably small. Their dispatches
add that the sinking of the big Chinese
warship is confirmed, and the Chinese
warships Chao-Yung and YangWei
were on fire when they were beached.
The Shanghai adviceS say that 1t Is
significant that the two or three Chi
nese transports which were conveyed
by the warshipS Of China, have not re-
turned, and it is runored that they
were ell blown up with loss OF all
bands on board. From Chinese admis-
sions, it is gathered that the losses on
both sides in the engagement will reach

Condition of the wool Trade.

BosToS, September l9.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade:
Outside of few large sales, the market
since the 1lth instant has been quiet. Tx
cepting the worsted men who have taken a
considerable amount OF territorial wool,
manufacturers have shown little disposi-
ton TO buy domestic stock; fine domestic
fieeces have been unusually quiet. Medium
woods continue strong with no quot
able change. Interest on the
part of buyers has been
mainly In foreign woods. unusually large
sales of Australian have been made. There
is good deal better feeling 10 the carpet
wool trade and the outlook FOR the business
is better than at any time previously for
year. The sales OF the week amount 10
1850, $50 pounds domestic and l.7d1, ,OOO for
eign, making a total Of 4,426, 40 pounds
against total Of !, ,e33 900 for the previous
week and a total Of s.194,00 for the corre-
spending week last year. The sales since
January l, 1894, amount 10 lOo,4sl,5so
pounds against So, 100 pounds year
ago. -
