ALLIES HAVE ENTERED
SACRED City OF PEEIN
Rumor That the Entrance Was
Effected August 18th.
CABLED BY REAR-ADMlRAL BRUCE
Fighting Going on in Pekin
Last Saturday.
II the Chinese Government is Mt Sianfr,
There Is no Means of Getting at Then,
Without Prolonged Struggle and an
Army as Large as Lord Roberts.

London. Eng, Aug. q. THE follow
ing dispatch has been received from
Rear admiral Bruce:
"Taku, Aug. 49, The allies are re-
ported to have entered the Sacred City
of Pekin August 18th. -
Divers paragraphs as to the move.
ments of the Chinese imperial family
continue to be received at the treaty
PORTS, and are thence faithfully trans
mitted to the European capitals.
Those representing the court as having
left Pekin are of exclusive Chinese
origin. According to them Their
Majesties are well on their way to
Sianfu, about 800 miles inland. Fight
ing was going on at Pekin Saturday.
If the Chinese government is at Sianfu,
there is no means of getting at them,
according to the military men, without
a prolonged campaign. and without an
army as large as Lord Roberts, to
secure the bases Of communications.
Advices from the provincial capital
show that the attitude of the southern
mandarins has been far more friendly
since the allies reached Pekin, Some
of the magistrates have been issuing
proclamations commanding the Chinese
to attend to business, to avoid sedition
and acknowledging that the invasion of
the foreigners is justified.

THE -HARKlNS CASE.

Judge Ball Decides That Evidence Does
Not Sustain Charge eff Embezzlement.
Charles Harkins was tried in the City
Court Monday on charge OF embezzling
from j. E. Rhoads a. Son. He was rep.
resented by Robert q. Harman. George
A. Rhoads of the firm said that Har-
kins was employed by the firm to dc
errands and make sales. Two others in
the office also made sales, and in each
case entries were to be made in sales
book. One day Mf. Rhoads saw
Harkins putting up some leather and
from information he received he Ee-
lieved that Harkins sold more leather
than be made returns for. Entries in
the book for July 10th showed one
entry by the shipping clerk, Clarence
Booth, and the remainder supposedly
by Harkins.
John Moore. an employe of the firm,
testified that on July 23d Harkins got
103 pounds of leather from the third
floor and told him he sold 35 pounds of
it and returned the remainder. The
witness said the remainder was not re-
turned.
The following day or the day after
that Harkins took out nine bends aver
ing about three and half pounds and
valued at 81 certs pound; what mo :.
came of it he did not know.
Michael Ross, shoemaker, testified
that he bought leather from HarKins
about July 23d, paying s11.5s.
John S. MOI eland, a shoemaker, testi-
fed that he paid Harkins 10 cents or
dollar for leather.
After hearing the evidence of several
persons the case was dismissed OH ac-
count of the inability of the prosecu-
ticn to make out clear case.

DAMAGE IN CECIL.
Severe Blow to Farmers and the Packing
Industry.

Severe Blow to Farmers and the Packing
Industry.
Elkton, Nd, Aug. 20. Cecil county
details of Saturdays storm show that
the farmers have lost thousands of dol
lars by the damage to their cornfields,
in addition to the loss of buildings,
with the entire destruction of the
tomato crop.
The storm broke over the Hartford
and Pennsylvania line about o'clock
in the afternoon. Huge trees we're torn
up by the roots or snapped off like
pipestems. The hailstones were as large
az hens eggs and leveled whole fields
of corn, destroying the entire tomato
crop of the Eighth district Of Cecil
county. Fruit trees also suffered
greatly and thousands of baskets of
apples and peaches we're beaten from
the. trees by the hail and wind. For
several hours after the storm large piles
Of hail could be seen along the road
sides and could be scooped up by the
bucketful. On the farm of A. r.
Crothers his corn crop of 81 acres was
ruined Nothing but few stalks re-
main of what promised to be one of the
largest crops for years. The blades and
ears we're cut oil and in many instances
the stalks were almost severed by the
force of the hail.
The Eighth district of Cecil county
has number of canning factories and
the owners had made great preparations
for packing fruit The storm of Satur-
day will cause the canneries at Oak
wood. Conowingo and Haines Station
to abandon business, and this will
throw large number of people out Of
employment.
In some parts of the Eighth district
the roads are impossible owing to the
trees and other debris lying in the path
of travel. At the residence of Charles
Il. McGuigan the wind blew out
several windows. sash and all. and for
time the household was in panic.
Pictures and other bric-a- brac from
the walls we're sent flying through tho
rooms and the mattress on one OF the
beds was caught by the wind and
thrown to the floor. Hundreds of panes
of glass were broken by the hail.
Among those who will be heavy
losers by the storm are Mrs Margaret
u. Dunn. William A. Montgomery.
William M. Fulton and jacob Fl. Kirk,
Eear Oakwood, who had their peach
orchards ruined and all their fruit
knocked from the trees. The barn on
the farm Of Mrs. Margaret E. Dunn
was blown down, while the telegraph
and telephone lines of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. of Balti-
more City were considerably damaged,
in some places the wires and poles
being down.
The steeple on the Methodist Church
at Pleasant Grove was blown down.
About go feet of the roof was carried
from the bridge which crosses the
.Susquehanna River at Conowingo. A
number of stables, corncribs and other
outbuildings were demolished. The
damage TO the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Onkwood will be consider
able, as several windows were blown
out and the glass shattered into. frag-
ments by the hailstones. 1t is esti-
mated that the total damage in Cecil
county Will reach s25, 600 to $4O,0O
