The Fact Foreshadowed In an Important
Circular Issued.
A large number of circulars, of which
the following is o copy, were sent out
to resident members of the Tuesday
Club Tuesday night:
WILMINGToS, DELAWARE. Sept. 18th,
1So4.-You are cordially invited to be
present at the Builders Exchange, on
Market street above Sixth, OH Monday
evening next 9th inst.,) to take part in
the organization of permanent singing
society of mixed voices to sing oratorio
and lighter music.
AS the Tuesday Club has practically dis
banded, this will be the only organization
singing this class of music in Wilmington.
N. X. Benson, Henry Baird,
William H. Gibbons, W. N. Eaton, Jr.,
II. Howard Carver, j. Frank Ayres,
Elmer Il. Benson, George Il. Baird,
II. d. Harrison, J. Newman Davis.
w. J. Fisher, Arthur X. Taylor,
w. N. Ralston, T. Leslie Carpenter.
The names appended to the above
circular indicate what a good degree of
vocal and instrumental ability is
promised for the new organization,
which, apparently, takes the place of
the Tuesday Club.
The last season OF the Tuesday Club
was its tenth. 1t has been unqnestion-
ably the most successful music organi-
cation ever know in this city or State.
The only reason for disbandment, it
is understood, is the lack of support
from active members and their absence
from the regular rehearsals. 1t is hardly
supposed that the new organization will
retain the old name.

i'll saying that the Japanese are supposed
to have lost three ships, and II adds that
many Chinese were killed and wounded
among the latter being Admiral Ting,
Colonel Won Hannckin and Captain
Tyler, the two latter being volunteers.
CHINESE TROOPS LANDED.
The Times correspondent confirms the
statement that the Chinese were success
full in landing the troops, which was
the object of the fleets presence at the
mouth Of the Yalu river.
CONFIRMED BY THE BRITISH CONSUL.
The British consul at Tein Tsin, in
dispatch to the foreign Office, confirms
the reports Of a battle between the fleets.
both SIDES CLAIM VICTORY.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 19.-Dispatches re-
ceiyed here from Corea announce that
tho first battle of modern ships of war
has taken place on the Yalu river. north
Of the Gulf of Corea and that both sides
claim victory.
The Chinese squadron, IL appears,
was covering the landing of large
force of troops, destined TO reinforce the
Chinese army operating against the
Japanese in Corea. According to an
account tho Chinese succeeded in land
ing the troops, but in an engagement
which followed with the Japanese fleet,
tho Chen Yuen of tho Chinese fleet was
sunk and the Jag-Y, Chao- Yung and
the Ycng-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 REPORTED KILLED.
Admiral Ting, the commander of the
Chinese Northern fleet, and Colonel
Won Hanneliin, formerly aide-de-camp
to Viceroy Ii Hung Chang, are re-
ported to have been killed during the
engagement. Colonel Won Hsnnekin
will be remembered as the German
officer who was on board the transport
Kow-Shing when she was sunk by a
Japanese cruiser with the loss of about
1000 men. Another report says that
the japanese succeeded in preventing
the landing Of the Chinese troops and,
therefore, the Japanese CLAIM victory.
II Is added, however, that the Japanese
lost four warships and that the Japa-
nese fleet was compelled to retreat after
having suffered heavy loss in killed and
wounded.
The Chinese fleet, IL is also said has
returned Wei-Hai- Wal.
The second report says that Admiral
Ting and Colonel Won Hannekin were
not killed, but it is said, that they were
severely wounded. No further details
of importance are given.

A PISTOL IN ms FACE.
Mrs. Joseph l.. Cavender's Encounter
with a Tramp.

During the heavy storm yesterday
morning, ragged looking man, evil
IDENTIFY tramp, entered the rear way Of
the residence of Joseph L. Lavender,
No. $40 Tatnall street. He stood at the
kitchen door and with an oath demanded
of Mrs. Lavender, who happened to be
there something to eat. The lady hesi-
tated for a moment, then suddenly
slammed the door in the visitors face
and bolted it.
The tramp, who was strong, brutal
looking, red-bearded fellow, rnn around
to the front door and made racket
there, ringing the bell, calling out and
cursing. Mrs. Lavender called to him
from one of the windows to stop his
noise and leave. He still continued,
when Mrs. Cavendcr, who was alone in
the house, got pistol and going to the
front door, opened 1t and placed the
weapon straight in the fellows face.
"Oh, God take that thing away" he
cried. But the pistol was kept pointing
at him by Mrs. Lavender until the filthy
looking visitor had disappeared around
the corner.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself,
in strictly medicinal sense. in three i'm
portant particulars, viz: First in the COM
bination of remedial agents used second,
third, in the process by which the active
curative properties Of the preparation arc
secured. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in its
medicinal merit. as it accomplishes cures
hitherto unknown.
But lit is not what we say but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story.
What Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for
others is reason for confidence that it is the

Editor Gazette and Journal: Your New
Castle correspondent (wlthout intention
to do me injustice, | am willing to
admit) quoted assertions that "a Will
mington auetioneer" brought to the out
skirts Of the town on the day of the Re-
publican nomination, "a wagon load Of
colored men, where he dumped them
out, after which they sneaked to the
polls and voted" This leaves fine
opportunity for persons not conversant
with the circumstances, to conclude as
suits them best, whether it was me or
the other fellow, as there are only two
licensed auctioneers in Wilmington.
In all my political career have never
been implicated In transaction of that
kind. On the contrary, J am in hearty
accord with the revolt against the New
Castle nominee. Mr.. Stewart is not the
only victim of his dastardly midnight
prowlings. He is the only man who, to
the best of my knowledge, ever demon
strated the meanness to try to besmirch
my reputation with charges of dis
honesty, and but for what appeared to
be proyidential intervention, he might
have left his dirty iinger-prints upon my
skirts in manner that might not have
ever been able to eiface. But, thank
goodness, his contemplated effort did
not succeed. And, while | am at this
unpleasant task will serve notice on
him, that while have never up till this
time cut the Republican ticket, if his
name, which appears like tester on
that ticket, appears thereon after the
regular tickets have been printed, l will
spread the details of the dark deed
already alluded to before the gaze of Il
justly indignant and outraged people.
| don't propose TO stand silently by
while he sneaks through the ballot box
into a seat in the State Legislature, and
if l don't do it then it may be justly
said of me, che lacketh the courage of
his convictions" w. A. HUKILL.
