DISPUTE OVER BILL.
Board of Charities Divided Over
 Question of Payment.

At the meeting of the department ok charities yesterday afternoon the pai' of St Francis Orphan asylum New Haven, for $966 was ordered paid sub ject to the approval of Commissioners Chase and Combellack and Supertn- tendent Doran. who will make furttek investigation with view to determan- ing if the commissioners of New Har ven county cannot be induced to act ln this respect as the comn1is ssdoners of other counties do, that is, pay for or7 phans in the several county homes in stead of farming them out to every Tom, Dick and Harry. According 70 the present arrangement, one-half the bill is to be paid by the city and the other by the Rev ". J. SIocum. but in the opinion of the commissioners the county should come down with the whole of the dust There was some difference of opinion regarding the payment of bill from the New Haven hospital for man named Mur- phy. When the patient decided to go thera he called upon Father Slocun and said that if he had somebody fQ guarantee a months expenses at the hospital he could get cured without
 
 would be able to pay the bill later. With view to giving him a lift Faith CT Slocum gave him letter to the hos
 pital authorities containing a guaran4 tee for one month S expenses at the fn- stitution, amounting to $30 At the end of the month the patient was not better and as there swas as change af that time in the management they nez t&.-
 and the thing ran along until FatheH Slocum received a bill for about $9o. Father Slocum sent the hospital check for the $50 he had agreed to pay and also called their attention tc the contents of the note which the pa tient gave them when he entered Then the hospital looked to the city for the mans expenses. It came up last night. but went over until the full board is present, MT CombelIack stat. ing that it was nothing the depart. ment of charities was liable for. Com missioner Chase said that there was moral obligation on the part of th6 board to pay the bill and also paid graceful compliment to Father Slo- cums good offices. who paid $30 in an effort to keep the patient off the town books. MT Chase considered this a highly commendable act on the part of Father Slocum and acted as if na felt like following it up by saying tha4 if everybody showed that spirit tiaa city would be relieved of many burdens from time to time and the list of de- pendents upon the public would not be as long as 1t is. The first case is arl old one but the other is new. The patient is suffering from dropsy and is still at the hospital The regular bills of the department were approved.

WOMEN IN NEW PROFESSION
Tn Boston Certain Authors Employ Educated Assistants in Obtaining
 Literary and Historical Data.

Among the new ways educated women have. discovered to earn com fortable living in Boston is one that might be called the profession of .au. thor's assistant Who would have thought a score or more years ago that writer of novels could develop into such a captain of industry that he could re1egate to the shoulders of a corps of helpers the drudgery of dely- ing for his materials? Yet such is the fact in the case of many of to-day's well-known fiction writers. They pay, and pay well, for having historical in. cidents and mysteries dug out of an- cient library records. Then, having collected and sifted their facts. they get down to work and turn out book. It is true that many of the successful authors have moved to New York, but the resources of the Boston public ,li- brary are so great that the authors assistants work here by corresponds ence.
 The work of the authors assistant is no haphazard undertaking. The author who employs her gives explicit directions. He intends to write novel. say, about Louis XI of France or Henry VIII. of England, or George Washington. Tn general way he has worked out his plan. dealing with some particular incident. But in order to perfect the plot, make the charac- ters true and portray the real life of the time he needs an endless lot of detailed information. He must know all there is to be known about his in- cident or period
 Most of the authors assistants'' learn typewriting; some of them think it well, though not obligatory, to mas ter shorthand.

The assas- sin was badly injured by the bomb with which he killed Von Plehve and succumbed to the effects of his wounds.

His personal guard has been tripled. M. Witte, president of the council of ministers, has arrived in St. Petersburg from Berlin.

WRECK AT WESTBORO.
Boston and Worcester Line TrOlleys
 In Collision.

WESTBORO, Mass, Aug. 2.-A score of persons have been injured, two of them fatally, in head-on collision be- tween two trolley cars on the Boston and Worcester Street railway near the Washington street crossing, three miles from Westboro.
 Mrs. Caroline Stewart, Winthrop Beach, is dead.
 John Doe, motorman, of Wellesley was internally injured, has fractured ribs and compound fracture of jaw. Doe is unconscious, and he cannot sur vive Miss Maud Mcguire, otherwise Thornton (actress), of Boston had her right leg crushed, and it was ampu- tated above the knee. B. Iwar West Lydia Lock, Miss Moody and Mrs. l.. c. Stone of Spencer had their legs broken.
 Miss Amelia Woodward, Henry Her rick, Mrs. Flora Herrick, wife of Henry Herrick; Rowena Whitney, James Ke- hoe, Worcester; John Murphy and Mrs. George Wesson were more or less SC riously injured, and a score of others were slightly hurt, but were able to proceed to their homes.
 The accident occurred on a curve at a steep incline and was due to a mis- understanding of orders relating to the crossing of two cars on single track The officials of the company claim that Conductor Balcom and Mo toman Dunn. in charge of car bound easterly from Worcester to Boston, should have waited at a turnout near the scene of the accident until car in charge of Motorman John Doe and Conductor Metcalf, running to Worces- ter, had passed. Usually the men are furnished with written orders. It is understood, however, that the orders were telephoned to Balcom and Dunn and were misunderstood.
 The car bound for Worcester was running down grade and, turning the curve, struck the car heading in the opposite direction. The westbound cleo tric was running at the rate of about twenty five miles an hour, it is said, but the other car was able to reduce speed somewhat and was not running swiftly. Both cars were badly damS aged by the impact, but were not thrown from the roadbed.
 The westbound car carried thirty -one passengers and the other thirty-five, all of whom were thrown forward vio- lently and some crushed by the bent framework. The passengers on the front seats of both cars received the worst injuries and in addition to broken bones sustained severe cuts from flying glass.
 The collision occurred within three miles of a similar accident which hap pened one year ago Car No. 1O4, one of those in the wreck, was in last years accident.
 The officials of the road are making thorough investigation.

THE DECISIVE MOMENT.

St Petersburg, Aug. 2.-All the nliI- dtary critics this morning take the view that the decisive moment of the campaign has arrived, The army or gan says that General Kuroki prepared for his advance by drawing ill his tOr- ces, which were scattered over a front of forty miles. The paper says it is evident that large Japanese force is working along the Saimatsza -Liao Yang line. It expresses doubt. how ever, which advance of the enemy will push home and whether it is sKuroki's intention to try to flank Kuropatkin north or south of Yiaoyang.
 The Russ says: ."The dcisive mo- ment has arrived but, judging from the latest reports, the Russians have re- talned their positions and this time it will be an order to retreat.''

LOOKING FOR LATE NEWS.

St Petersburg, Aug. 2.-All the newspapers were late in publication this morning, the editions evidently having been held back in hope of the receipt of the later advices from the front. The only special dispatch pub aished was one appearing in the Official Messenger, under date of Haicheng, August l. referring to events of tn previous day. According to this dis patch numerous assaults were made upon the positions of Lieutenant Gen era1 Count Keller and Lieutenant Gen. eral Zassaliteh, all of which were re- pulsed.
 The Japanese on July %, the dis patch says, fired upon a supply train running south of Haicheng and car was wrecked, but no one was killed.
 The Official Messenger publishes the notice of the release of the steamer Malacea which was seized ill the Red sea by the Russian volunteer fleet steamer St Petersburg and reviews the case.
 The article concludes thus: .'The arrangement for her inspection and release now is taken in abrogation of Russia's right. which She will still maintain, and her cruisers and war ships will stop vessels and search them for contraband destined for the en- emy."
