A Native of South Carolina.

Mr.. James A. Dunn, of Pana, III. f,
died on the Goth of March, in the SOth
year of his age. He was q native of
Abbeville County, and when he was
about nine years of age his parents
moved to Indiana, passing through the
streets of Greenville, then small vii
lage, on the second day of their jour-
ney to the Far West, where they made
home amid many difficulties and sur
rounded by hostile Indians. Mr. Dunn
came back to this section ten or twelve
years ago for the first time, and met
scores of his relatives whom he had
never seen before, repeating the visit
several years afterwards. He was
much pleased with this portion of
South Carolina, although ne lived in
the greatest hay and cattle region of
Illinois, and his relatives in Greenville,
Anderson and Abbeville gave him q
most cordial welcome. His mother
was an aunt of Jesse s. McGee, of this
city, and hence Mr. Damn was kins-
man 70 all of the McGees in the three
counties named, whether it is spelled
MaGee, McGee or Meg hee. for it is all
the same family.-Greenville Noun

the Japanese.
The RUSSIAN plan of campaign, view
ed in the light of this retrograde move
ment, seems to have for its object the
drawing of the Japanese forces far

could be expected from the fleet. Then
the Russians hope to concentrate, fall
upon the Japanese in overwhelming
force and crush them. In fact, the
Russian general officers seemed to be
adopting the tactics which proved SO
fatal to Napoleon when he invaded
Russia.

The Japanese are reported to be

The Russians are making no attempt
to resist, simply falling back as the

afternoon about o'clock on the farm
of Mr.. Clayton Dobson, two miles from
town, house was burned, and child
of Mr. Grant, who lived ia the house,
was burned to death. It seems that
Mrs. Grant had put Goals of fire on the
hearth to heat some milk, and had then
swept the Goals into the fireplace,
throwing the broom back near II bed in
which her baby was asleep, and then
went to the spring for water. While
there Mrs. Grant discovered the house
on fire and made an effort to rescue
the baby, but found the interior of the
house was mass of flames, the house
being consumed in a short time. Tho

that the broom had ignited from coal
of fire and had set fire to the bed,
spreading to the building.

JAPANESE aESlEGlNG FORCE IS
TIGHTENING ITS GRIP UPON
PORT ARTHUR.

Chefoo, Aug. 18.-According to news
received here Wednesday the Japanese
line has been drawn still closer around
beleaguered Port Arthur. The right
wing of the Japanese line has pene.
trated to the vicinity of Pigeon bay,
while the center has moved forward
from Palingching, which is south of
Shushiyen and two miles north of the
town.
Chinese are authority for the above
outline of the new Japanese positions.
Passengers on board the steamer
Decima, which anchored off Port Ar
thur Tuesday night, witnessed the
bombardment from Pigeon bay.
The Japanese shells were visible
during their whole course. They cir.
cled cOmet-like to the town and their
explosions were marked by great
s%plashes of fire, which shot up into the
sky. The bombardment from this and
other points began at midnight and
lasted until morning. The Russians
did not reply to the Japanese fire.
Major Seaman, formerly a surgeon in
the American army, was a passenger
on the Decima. He says the spectacle
was most brilliant and a~we-inspiring.
The Decima weighed anchor from Port
Arthur at 5 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing
At some distances out she saw five
Japanese warships guarding the har-
Dor.

WANT JUDGE PARKER TO SPEAK.
Visitors at Rosemount Urge Him to
Tour Doubtful States.

TOUR StaIeS.
Esopus. N. Y, Aug. l8.-Nearly
every delegation arriving at Rosemount
from the West urges Judge Parker to
go on q stumping tour during the
campaign and visit all doubtful states.
This was the object Of the visit
Wednesday from G. v. Menzies and
John Spencer Of Indiana. So much
encouragement was received that they
remained over night at Judge Par
ker's home to discuss the subject Of
a Western trip. Judge Parker de-
ttermined soon after his nomination by
the st. Louis convention that he would
conduct his personal campaign from
Rosemount, but since the notification
ceremonies, so much pressure has been
brought to bear upon him that he has
promised to give the invitations seri-
GUS consideration.
The suggestion has been made that
Judge Parker extend his trip to the
st. Louis exposition, to take in a num-
Der of cities in Indiana and other
states that are regarded as doubtful
by the Democratic campaign managers.
Edward M. Shepard of New York.
mentioned as a possible candidate for
the governorship Of New York, took
luncheon with Judge Parker and was
another who urged the necessity of
making this . speaking campaign.

curing advantageous winter quarters.

to indicate a new plan of operations.
All the troops appear to be moving

Chicago.
Chicago. Aug. 1S.-Four people were
killed, another fatally hurt, and TWEEN.
ty-three severely injured in a collision
late Wednesday afternoon between an
express train on the Chicago Great
Western railroad and a train of three
trolley cars bound for the Hawthorne
ace track.
The dead are: Mrs. Frances Raut-
man, William Irving, Mrs. jeremiah
Shuckrow, and an unidentified woman
about thirty years of age.
Michael Ryan, motorman of the
*rtlley car. was fatally injured.
The accident occurred at the cross
.ng of Forty-eighth avenue and the
Chicago Great Western tracks. The
train was coming into the city and &C.
cording to some witnesses Of the &C.
cident, was running at a hight rate OF
speed. Others, and the train crew,
declare that it was not going over
twenty miles an hour. The trolley
train, which "a made up of a motor
a and two trailers, In charge Of Con
ductor W. II. Condor and Motorman
Michael Ryan, approached the cross
ing at a rapid rate just al the train
came around a sharp curve to the
west Of the crossing. Ryan put on the
brakes with all his strength in the eff
fort to stop his car, but the brakes
refused to work and with undiminish'
ed speed the motor a ran upon the
tracks at the same time that the loco
motive came up. The a struck the
train Just between the engine and the
tender. The motor car was torn to
splinters, the car Immediately behind
1t was knocked over, smashed nearly
to pieces and dragged along the track
for 100 feet. The real car was not
dragged from the tracks and but for
the fact that the couplings between II
and the second trailer broke, the list
Of killed and injured would probably
be much larger.
All the members of the train crew
and the conductors of the trolley cars
were placed under arrest.
