SETS A CLOCK

Unrequited Love Drives a
Maiden to Rash Act When
Her Sweetheart Is Married
SUICIDE SCHEME FAILS
Alarm Tells Nuptial Hour
and Girl Plunges Into Wa
ter, but Aid Is Prompt
Special Dispatch to The can.


WAUKEGAN. Ill, June S.-Nora
Galloway thought to have a glorious
revenge on her Iecreant sweetheart by
killing herself at the exact moment he
was 70 be married TO another To be
sure that she jumped off the dock at
the right time she set her alarm clock
At the exact hour and, when it rang,
plunged into the lake.
Miss Coloway made three miscalcu-
iations- The first was that she would
be the only one TO hear the clock. This
resulted in her being rescued. The Sec
ond was in getting the hour two weeks
too late, foT her former sweetheart,
said 10 be Allen Jackson, was married
fourteen days ago. The third was that
her skirts would hold her up.
Miss Galloway heard that her sweet
heart was TO be married at o'clock
Tn the evening. She bought an alarm
clock, and a short time before that she
went 10 the dock, carefully set the
clock and sat down 10 wait till the
alarm rang.
When the alarm sounded Miss Col
lOway jumped into the water. Two
men near by heard the noise, both Of
the clock and the splash, and ran to
the dock Miss Galloway was rescued
without much trouble, as her skirts,
forming a buoy. kept her afloat.

Interruption of Cable Be-
tween Korea and Japan
Is Ominous.
Indicates That Japan Has
Begun an Important
Movement.

LONDON, June s.-The sudden in
terTuption Of the cable between Korea
and Japan is considered significant Of
the imminence of important operations
at Port Arthur. the japanese having
taken precautions, as usual, to cut the
means of communication with the out
side world and thus enable their naval
and military forces to work with abb
solute secrecy.
No attention is paid in London to re-
mors that the storming of the fort
resses has already begun, because 1t is
known that at the battle of Kinchou
General Oku had exhausted his ammu
milton and an insufficient period has
elapsed during which the stores of am
munition gould be renewed and siege
guns brought into position. 1t is con-
sidered likely that Admiral Togo is not
averse to Port Arthur wasting its am
munition in constant encounters With
the g1unboats. This may explain the
rumored bombardments, while the fir
ing on the land side may be due to pre-
liminary operations having for their
purpose driving in the Russian forces.

port to Minister Conger.

eral of Lewis Etzel, correspondent of
the London Daily Telegraph, took
place here this afternoon. United
States Consul General Miller held an
inquest yesterday, at which the Chi

Ernest Brindle of the London Daily
Mail. who was with Etzel when he
was shot, testified that their junk was
unchallenged by the soldiers and was
fired upon in spite of the fact that two
foreigners were plainly visible at
distance of less than loo yards. At
least $50 shots were fired at the cor
respondents junk, which did not re-
ply Consul General Miller will for
ward his report to United States Min
lister COnger at Peking.
Brindle and Etzel were attempting
to reach Port Arthur.
The Russian authorities are doing
all in their power to assist the Ameri-
can officials. General Kondratovich
placed a steam launch with twenty
five soldiers under the orders of Con-
sui General Miller and otherwise rem
dered great aid in recovering the body
of Etzel. Consul General Miller
thanked General Kondratovich heart
ily for his kindness.
