In Chicago STYLE.

Dayton, o., Dec. 17.-With hand
kerchief spread over the lower part OF
his face and a revolver in his hand, an
unknown man entered the grocery store
of G.. w. Hoppenstock at 120 Jay street,
at $3.50 Saturday night, and, covering
the lone proprietor with his gun. pro.
ceeded coolly to extract everything Of
value from his clothes, and then, with
out speaking q half dozen words emp
tied the cash drawer Of its contents
The astonlshed proprietor saw the man
leave, and, after waiting some minuets,
ran to the street and cried murder
The thief had disappeared, however
and the police arrived on the scene to
find nothing to start them in the pur-
suit.
Hoppenstock says his total loss will
be about $100 The robbery was one OF
the boldest reported here for some time
The grocery is located in an obscure
part of the city. 1t is believed that the
robber who entered the store had q con-
federate on the outside.

PARTIALlTY ALLEGED.
Judge J. r. Burket Said to Have Favored
His Sons Client.

Findlay Dec. 17.-Hon. George PEN
dleton, attorney for w. b. Carnahan
announced he would today file an APP
plication for rehearing the famous Car
nahan insurance cases, involving $75, 900
in which verdict was rendered against
Carnahan by the supreme court, few
weeks ago.
Mr.. Pendieton says the petition as
serts that Judge j. f. Burket should
be disqualified from sitting in the case,
as his son, II. F. Burket, is an attorney
for the insurance companies, claiming
that interest in his sons success caused
Judge Burket to incline towards in
surance companies.
The affair has caused intense excite
ment here, with popular sentiment
evenly divided. The facr of the matter
is that previous to H. f. Burket's be-
coming interested in the cases the ver-
diets were for the Canadians.

A VERY EXPENSIVE BRIDGE.
Was to Cost So, 800 Bot Has Already Cost
$4,000 and Isn't Finished. Z.

There are other matters beside work.
house bills that require some investiga-
ton, and 1t is said that when the bali
is once started to rolling, there is no
telling where II may stop. One matter
in particular that is being agitated is
the bridge that Is I'm the course Of con-
struction at Canal Fulton. This bridge
was originally to have been an iron
structure, but 1t was changed to stone
structure. After that was agreed upon
II is said that estimates were made by
Surveyor Hoover 1t is claimed that he
estimated that the stone and brick
bridge would cost $500. This was con-
sidered a fair estimate and Surveyor
Hoover is raid to have put in a great
deal of time about 1t. The work went
ahead, and Il has already cost $4,000
and is not finished yet 1t Is said that
Contractor T.. III. Watson. Of Carroll
county. who has the contract, built one
end of the abutment feet and inches
higher than the grade. 1t is said that
he claims that he did not observe what
the grade was hut followed the spefi-
fications IL cost ~, 800 to correct that
error. The contract Is for $5.S1 per
perch, and the extra feet of work piled
up the expense at a great rate. 1t Is
known that the matter has come to
the attention OF the prosecutor and it
Is probable that this Job Of work will
be looked into.

.K|EFFER IS living
Attending Surgeon Says That BTimfleld
Victim Of Shooting May
Recover.
AN INVESTIGATION Being made
BY Summit County Officials Re.
lative to the Story Told BY
Mrs. kieffer as to
RECOGNIZING THE ASSASSIN.
The Wife Of kieffer Related to Canton
Woman-..Niuch Mystery Surrounds
the Shooting, and Police Are
Looking For
Motive.

The attending physician of Wesley
kieffer, at Brimfeld, is of the opinion
that his patient will recover Kieffer
was the victim of an attempted assas-
sination last Thursday night. Accom-
panied by his wife, at a rather late hour
in the evening, they went to the barn
to milk the cow Mrs. Kieffer carried
lantern. Just as they were about to
enter the barn two shots were fred at
Mr.. Keiffer and one at Mrs. Kieffer.
Two bullets struck Kieffer, one of them
passing through his body. Mrs. Kieffer
was not injured, as she hurled the Ian
tern at the would-be assassin, striking
him in the face.
The stranger disappeared at once
after the shooting, but Mrs. Kieffer
claimed that she recognized the man
as her brother-i in-law, John Kieffer, of
Kent. Detectives closely questioned
John Kieffer, at his home, but he cx-
planned his whereabouts the night cf
the shooting. They concluded therefore
that he is not the party wanted
Sunday, the prosecutor of Summit
county called at the Kieffer home and
took the statements of the injured man
as well as questioning Mrs. Kieffer.
1t is probable that there may be de-
velopments later on.
Mrs. Kieffer is sister of Mrs. Gle
ment v. Yohn. of 6O2 West Fourth stree;
this city. Mr.. Yohn went to Brim-
field, Sunday, and was the guest of the
Kieffers. Upon his return, he stated
Monday morning that the doctor be-
lieves that Kieffer will survive although
one of the bullets remain in his body.
Kieffer will not make any statements
as to the party who shot him.
1t appears that Kieffer and his wife
occupied large farh which belonged
to the Kieffer heirs. 1t is alleged that
John was envious, and Mrs. Kieffer
stated that through their deaths, John
would gain possession of the place. She
stated on the night Of the shooting that
she recognized John, but later would
not talk about it.

THE SECOND MESSAGE
Conger Says Their Condition Is Very
Serious, With Short RatiOns.
RIFLE FIRE DAILY.
Chinese Insist Upon Their Leaving,
Which Means Death 20 Them
-. Hare Abundant Courage 10
Resist Attacks.

Washington. Aug. S.-Another cable
gram came 10 the state department
Tuesday afternoon from Minister Con-
ger at Pekin, which Is the second re-
ccivod direct from him since June 23.
II is the first which has come direct from
the minister since the above dAte the
other having been received through the
Intermediary Of the Chinese minister
here Mr. WI. The telegram shows that
the situation in the Chinese capital Is
still Of very serious character, that the
ministers arr still in danger from tho
Chinese troops and that their supplies
Of ammunition aud provisions have been
reduced to very considerable extent.
So important were the statements con-
tanned In the dispatch that a conference
was held by wire between several Of
the officials here and the president ai
Canton lasting for several hours. AZ
It's conclusion the oahlegram from Mr..
Couger was made public as follows:
"Tden an Yamen, Secretary Of State;
Still besieged. Situation more precari-
rious Chinese government insisting
upon our leaving Pekin. which would b.
certain death. Rifle FIRE upon Us daily
by imperial troops Have abundant
courage, but little ammunition or pro
visions Two progressive yamen minis
ters beheaded. All connected with the
legation Of the United States well at ia,
present moment"
The cablegram came in the officiA
cipher Of the department II is undated
like his previous cablegram, but from
the internal evidence furnished his ref
ercnce 70 the beheading of two mem
bers u the tsung Il yamen and 20 th
insistence Of the Chinese governmen
Of the removal Of the ministers fron
Pekin. the state department officials "a.
1t might be signed a date not earlie
than than July 30 and perhaps not lAtel
than Aug. ?. II Is checked by the tele
graph company as having been put OF
the wire at Ti Mai. large city abou
80 miles southeast Of Peldn. on Aug.
That the conference Of the official
will stimulate the energies Of the gov
ernment TO its utmost endeavor 10 pres
forward the advance movement towar
Pchn Is certain, for Mr.. Conger's me-
sage makes 10 clear that for the mimi
ters 20 leave Pclan would result In the
death.
The word 'yamen" following n
name Of the city Isl Nan, at which d
cablegram from Minister Conger WI
put on the wires, as understood her
probably refer 20 the official building
residence from which It was transmi
ted. or at which it was received by col
, rier from Pekin.

AMERICANS IN FRONT.
Thcy Were Joined ny British aud Japan
esegGermans Not In n.


Washington. Aug. s.-The informa.
ton came Tuesday that American
troops were engaged In the battle at Pei
Tsang and established positively for the
first time that Notwithstanding the diff
hculties Chaffee had encountered in de-
barking troops and supplies, nc least o
part and a considerable part Of our
force was In the vanguard Of the for.
ward movement. Gen. Chaffee's an.
nouncement that the present objective
Of the international column is Yang
Tsung, is interpreted by the officials at
the war department 10 mean that this
point where river. railway and wagon
road meet. Is 10 be made the advance
base for the operations ON Pekin.
The most positive addition 10 th,
news Of the day was the brief line from
the Associated Press correspondent al
Tien Tsin stating that the NiHth aud
Fourteenth infantry, Reilly's batter
and the marines were In the battle oi
Pie Tsang II was this force, which
with the British and japanese, bora IN,
brunt Of the attack on the left flank
which was TO turn the enemy's position
II is perhaps noteworthy and signih
cant that in this plan Of attack upon IN,
enemy at Pie Tang the American. Brit
ish and japanese were joined in tn
movement 10 turn the encmy's flank
while the Russians and French operates
together on the opposite side Of the rive
against the enemy's left This may in
dicAte the line Of cleavage among the al
lies. whose general dissensions were re
ported at Tien Tsin. II is also exceed
ingly significant that General ChAffs
does not mention the German forces q
all.
II therefore seems likely that the Gel
mans were not engaged at Pie Tsang.
