LONDON, Oct. 11.-A dispatch received
from Tein-Tsin says that the Chinese

Japanese fleet commands the
gulf of Pechili. 1t Is added that Che
Japanese admiral pays q weekly visit

Japanese cruisers sounded the entrance to

hours on Saturday last and then went
across to Port Arthur where they
made observations without get ting
within range OF the guns of that
place. The Japanese fleet returned TO
Wei Hal Wei on Monday last in single
line, keeping their distances splendidly
and heading straight for the port. When
almost in range, the fleet sep

whereupon the feet reformed and
steamed away in the direction

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Unsuccessful Midnight Attempt to
Wreck a Train Near Denver.
BY The Associated Press.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 11.-Soon after mid
night bold attempt was made, seven
miles south OF Denver, TO wreck an east
bound Santa Fe passenger train for the
purpose of robbery. 1t is belieyed spikes
were pulled from the rails and the engine,
baggage car, coach, chair car and sleeper
ran off on the ties. The damage was
trifiing and no one was hurt, but the track
was blocked five hours.
The ground for the robber theory is that
a man called at South Denver early in the
night and intimated that the train was to
be wrecked and robbed. Orders were
given for 1T to proceed slowly but it was
not supposed that the attempt would be
made so near the city. The train was run
ming at speed of eight miles an hour.
There is as yet no clue TO the miscreants.

maintained throughout. This was espec-
tally true of Mr. Combs work. His
makeup was perfect and his contribution
to the musical features was excellent His
efficiency as stage manager was very APP
parent. There was pleasing proportion
of comedy in Mr.. Stanleys Mikado, and
his fine voice was heard to advantage
One is compelled to wonder at the I'M
firing and well directed effort and I'M
ceasing attention to the innumerable de-
tails which must have been necessary to
the attainment of this unqualified success.
Indeed not the smaller part of their tri-
umph was the management of Misses
Vannah and Bartlett and Mr.. Combs.
And it was noticeable that they had the
willing assistance of each one connected
with the performance. The Mikado, real
and imaginary, is taking all the tricks this
year and while we would not intimate
that this "Mikado'' has stopped short of
Pekin, we would suggest that another per-
Torrance in Augusta would have a
crowded house.

You will at any time have an opportunity
OF purging yourself of contempt by an

where the child is.
| Mrs. Woodbury. was then allowed to 60
TO her home in charge of an officer, and
from there she was conducted to the jail
Mrs. Woodbury. was committed little
past noon, and soon after p. NJ, Judge
Hall was notified by Sheriff Norton that
she desired to purge herself of the con-
tempt. Her counsel Messrs. Heath and
Southland, having gone into the woods, L.
Z. Cornish, Esq, was retained and ap-
peared in court with her at 40 She was
also accompanied by her brother, Mr. c.
b. Murphy, who, it is understood, deeply
regrets the course his sister has taken in
the matter
The following questions prescribed in
such cases by the statute, We're then put
to Mrs. Woodbury. Her answers are sub
joined;
Whether or not you have the child, Maud
F. Woodbury., named in this writ, in
your custody or power. Ans.-I have not
the child in my custody but have her in
my power.
If you have said child in your custody
or power, state at large the authority and
true and whole cause of your taking her
into your custody and power. Ans.-I
have no legal authority for taking the
child away. She came to my house by Or
der of court. The child told me that the
Spauldings were trying to turn her
against me, and that was the reason that
l took her away.
If you have transferred said child to
another, state particularly to whom, at
what time, for what cause and by what
authority. Ans.-I first placed the child
in school in Portland in the latter part
of September, 1894 She was there nearly
three weeks. Then | took her to Water
town, Mass, and left her with my cousin,
Mrs Agnes Jewell, corner of Palfrey and
Spring streets A part of the time she
has been with Mrs Geo. Tyler Waltham,
Mass, and l do not know whether at this
present time she is with Mrs. Jewell or
Mrs. Tyler. She is with one or the other.
AS to cause and authority, l make the
same answer as before.
Mrs. Woodbury. then expressed "a will
ingness to give up the child, and in &C
cordance with the requirement of court,
gave bonds in the sum of $500 to produce
her. Deputy Sheriff Morse and Mr..
Murphy, armed witha written order from
Mrs. Woodbury., went on the Pullman
train, last evening, to WATERFOWL, to
secure the child and return her to the
Spauldings.
