Up Against a Suit for DAMAGES.

Papers were served on Wednes-
day upon B. Levin in an action
commenced by Margaret Lankin, an
infant, by her next friend, Margaret
Lankin, ST., for $500 damages for in
juries alleged to have been sus-
tanned through the negligence of
the defendant while driving horse
and buggy through the street on
Saturday, it being claimed by the
plaintiff that defendants rig run
against, upon and over the plain
tiff in the action, causing injuries,
the seriousness of which is not as
yet determined.
The accident occurred at the corn
er of Chestnut street and Cleveland
avenue, the little girl being picked
up by Alderman George and taken
into Tredway's Drug Store and a
few minutes later carried to the
Lenont Hospital, where her injuries
were attended to.
Mr.. Levin's statement of the &C.
currence is that the little girl seem
ingly deliberately ran into the
wheel of his buggy as he was driv-
ing over the crossing, to which he
says witnesses will testify.
Attorneys John NJ. Martin and
Rod Mcdonald have been retained
by the plaintiff in the action, which
will come up for hearing before
Judge Nelson, in Municipal Court,
on August End.

Tightening the Coils
Around Port Arthur

LONDON. May s-The apparent OBJ
tect OF the japanese in landing on the
Liao-Tung peninsula is to duplicate the
move of General Shafter at Santiago
and attack Port Arthur with heavy
force from the rear.
Port Adams. where one landing is re-
ported to have been made, is on a mar
row inlet on the west coast OF the
peninsula. Pi-tsu-wo is across on the
east coast.
Each forms a base angle of a triangle
of which Port Arthur is the apex The
base of this triangle measures thirty
five miles. The Port Adams side is
fifty-fve miles long and the Pi-tsu-wo
seventy-five miles.
A Japanese army could march by good
roads straight across the peninsula to
Port Adams, or could take a loop roid
to King Chow, which is thirty-five miles
north of Port Arthur and within easy
reach of Por, Adams by railway The
former move. however, would be the
better as it would not only allow more
rapid concentration but would also per-
NIT united japanese force to use the
railway and reach the environs of Port
Arthur
