IS VERY TRYING.

St Petersburg, Sept 5.-The lack of news from the front is very trying to the people. In spite of the assur- ances that General Kuropatkin's army is out of danger, no word from KuropatlSin has been given for thirty-six hours, and not single newspaper dispatch later than Sep tember has been received. The emperor has received some additional details showing the tremendous diff faculties encountered in accomplish ing the retreat over the mandarin road to Mukden, from which. it is easy to imagine the horrible picture of. the army and the baggage and transport trains laundering north ward over road converted by tor~ rents of rain into river of mud. An instance is given where gun drawn by six horses sank in the mud LID to the breach. Four additional horses were harnessed to the piece, but the ten horses were unable to budge it.
 The Russian rear guard is consider ably above Mental, but there is no exact information in regard to the location of General Kurol1RA main army, the left wing of which has been engaged in more or less con tinuous duel with the Russian bas teries which are covering the re- treat, and Io particulars have been received of the extent or character of this fighting. The general staff, how ever, Is of the opinion that Kuroki's troops must be experiencing almost as great difficulties as the Russians and that they are too exhausted to create serious menace at present.

BUSY BURGLARS.
Dynamited Safe in Ticket Office Got Only About
 SPA.

Clinton, Sept. S.-Burglars forced their way into the ticket office of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad company early this morning and successfully used dynamite on the safe in the office They carried away about twenty-four dollars.
 The burglary happened about one o'clock. An investigation shows that the ticket window in the waiting room was forced open, giving the burglars entrance to the office. A charge of dynamite was inserted just below the combination of the safe and it was so powerful that the safe was conl- pletely wrecked.
 Mrs Charles H. Ellsworth, of West Hartford, who is visiting friends here, heard the explosion at one o'clock: A. R. Pratt, who lives near the station, says that a very few moments after one o'clock he heard a team galloping by his home going to the eastward ana he is confident it was occupied by the burglars. The police authorities throughout the state have been notf- fled of the burglary but there is little hope of apprehending the burglars.
