aelo Capachieto, a coal miner. living in
Wilkesbarre. he is twenty-five years
old They told Mr. D'Aioia that they
wanted him to arrange for their mar
riage.
Lawyer Was Suspicious.
The prettiness of the young girl and
the grimy roughness of the man excited
the lawyers suspicion. In answer to
his question. the girl said:
4 don't know Rafaelo very well. be-
cause he doesn't speak much English
and L don't speak Italian. But last
night he made me understand that he
wanted me to elope with him, so that
we could be married.

came along and made love to me by ges-
lures. He made me understand that he
wanted 20 take me to New York, and as
never had been here I decided to elopc
with him and get married.
Italian Arrested.
The Italians story did not agree full
ly with that of the girl. and the law
yers determined to notify the police.
Rafaelo suddenly became suspicious
and, bounding out of the door. ran
downstairs. Mr.. Giudici pursued him.

ground floor first When RafaeIo ap-
peared n moment later nc was placed
under arrest, and marched 10 the Oak

SOUND OF GUNS
IN SEA BATTLE

CHEFOO Aug. 1O--Heayy firing was
heard Sunday night distinctly at inter
walls OF a minute in the direction of Port
Arthur. Il began al 1880 o'clock and
continued until $3.50 yesterday morning.
4 Chinese junk which left Port Arthur
on Saturday reports that nothing be-
yond the exchange OF shots by the bat
teries had occurred since July %. The
Chinese say the Russian battleships
Pobieda, Retvigan. Poltava. and Peres-
Wet occasionally fire. This is probably
what was heard last night.
Flashes Visible.
Omcers Of the German cruiser Fuerst
Bismarck. which is anchored at the
outer edge Of the harbor here. are Of
the opinion that the firing heard from
the direction of Port Arthur indicated
an encounter between warships ap-
proximately twenty miles northeast Of
Chefoo. The flashes preceding the de-
donations were visible from the cruiser.
An engineer who has thorough kncwi-
edge of Port Arthur declares that IL
will take the Japanese a month 10 forti-
fy the captured hills and 10 plant siege
guns, which will require strong founda-
tons. The work must be performed un-
der the fire of the Russians,
obstacles many.

Ger who has just returned from the

STRIKE BEGINS
IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Aug 10.-The strike Of
butchers which was ordered from Chi
cago to assist fellow-unionists in that
city, who are on strike, began this
morning al S O'Clock All of the men
did not quit work, however, for il is
Is estimated that fully 1000 OF the $500
workers refused 10 quit. AS a result
trouble is expected as the mer who are
out are determined that others shall
Join the movement.
Plenty of Meat.
Those who continued at work are prin-
cipaIly drivers and carriers. and the
miscellaneous workers in the slaughter
houses. Isaac Blumenthal. president Of
the United States Dressed Beef Com
pany, said today that the action Of the
workers in going on strike was regretta-
bic. but now that they had TO face the
dilemma the employers would get
others 10 take their places.
There IS nothing whatever in the
claim that meat has been shipped back
20 Chicago after the animals had been
brought 10 New York from the West
plants get cattle on the hoof from the
West. but they have not sent meat TO
the Western plants.
Can Supply Demand.
Western houses even now can sup
ply all the demands of New York, even
though there should be a complete shut
down here. But there IS not going to be
anything of the sort. The strikers are
beaten in Chicago and the decision TO
call out the men here is merely a last
desperate resort.
Il wish also TO say there viii not be
any meat famine in New York. There
will be a plentiful supply of meat, and
do not anticipate that there will be
any material advance in prices"

cations are that this work was com

AGAINST MUKDEN
AND LIAO-YANC

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug ia tele-
gram from Liao-Yang announces that
the japanese are advancing on Mukden
and Liao-Yang simultaneously, a piece
of news which does not improve the
looks Of General Kuropatkin's situation.
Admiral Alexieff, in a curiously word
ed telegram from Mukden, tells of a
na-al Engagement at Port Arthur, in
which the Itsukushima and the Chiyoda
were damaged.
Terrible Fighting.
Chefoo dispatches from supposed fugi-
tives who arrived there in junks pro-
fess to tell circumstantial details of ter
rible fighting at Port Arthur, which is
doubtless the case, but the details and
figures given are worthless.
The Jemstchug. a large protected
transport, left the Franco Russian dock
this morng at Cronstadt laden low v.Sih
war stores for the Far East
1t Is mistake to say that Warships
have left Cronstadt. Probably the large
transports. Of which many have started
to await the coming OF the warships at
various places, have given rise to the
report
Utilizing Railway.
MUKDEN. Aug. IO.-The Japanese are
using the Shanhaikwan-Y lnkow Railway
for provisioning the army and mobiliz-
ing troops for an attack on Sinminting,
about thirty miles west of Mukden.
Sinmlnting IS the northern terminus OF
the Shanhaikwan Railway. From Kou-
pangtze, about seventy miles southwest
OF Sinminting, a branch line connects
with YinkOw, which IS about fifty-three
miles southeast OF Koupangtze.
China's Consent.
a Russian correspondent in a dispatch
from Tatchekao, July 13, said il was
believed that the Shanhaikwan Railway
was then under the control Of the Japan
csc with the consent OF China. AS carry
as March % last the Shanhaikwan cor
respondent of the London Daily News
asserted that the Chinese had received
official authorization to turn over the
plant of the railway to the japanese.
The Japanese are in control of the
gulf OF Liao-Fung. and should the state
ment in the dispatch from Mukden prove
to be correct. Il would indicate that they
are landing troops at ShanhaikWan, the
southern terminus Of the railway, anC
transporting them 10 Sinminting. The
strategic Importance Of the possession o.
this railway, which was sought by the
Russians early in the war, is apparent.
