Burlington (N. J. Mob of Two
 Thousand Has Rope Ready.
TO AVENCE ASSAULT ON MRS. RIDDLE
William Austin, Arrested at PhiIa- deIphia, Confessed Share In the Crtme-Lynch Crowd Wants the
 Leader, Aaron Timber.

Leader, Aaron Timber.
 BURLINGTON, N. J., July 7.-Ex- cited by report that Aaron Timber, the negro who, with a companion,' is charged with brutally attacking Mrs. Elsie T. Riddle in her home, mob of more than 2,00O persons surrounded the house of Joseph Timber, brother of the negro, who lives in the factory woods, near here. The house was thoroughly searched by the mob, but was empty.
 While the place was being ransack- ed Frederick Tallman, 8 brother of Mrs. Riddle, stood in the backyard with loaded revolver in each hand. 1t was his intention to, shoot the ne gro had he been found and attempted to escape by way of the back yard.
 Two of the negroes implicated in the assault and robbery of Mrs. Elsie T. Riddle wife of Charles Riddle, farm CT living on the Rancocas road near Burlington, N. J., are now under ar- rest, and the authorities of Philadel- phia and Burlington county, N. J., hope to have the others within few hours. William Jones of Philadelphia, one of the two negroes who were arrested in Burlington, was identified by Mrs. Bid dle as one of her assailants, but he says that he is innocent. The second arrest was made by Philadelphia de tectives. This prisoner is William Austin. He confessed to his part in the outrage and claims there were four men in tie affair Mrs. Riddle says there were only three. Aaron Timber of Burlington, the leader of the gang, is still at large.
 The excitement following the outrage is increasing ill Burlington, and the county officials are on the alert to nip any attempt at violence Hundreds of men and boys continue to search the woods surrounding Burlington for Tim Der, but no trace of him has been found.
 Mrs Riddle came to Burlington and had no difficulty in identifying Jones. A large crowd was assembled outside the lookup, and cries of Lynch him!' were heard when it was announced that Jones had been identified. Later in the day he was rushed out of the building and taken to the Burlington county jail at Mount Holly
 Mrs. Riddles brother was with her when she identified Jones, and he made rush at the negro. The police, how ever, were on the lookout for such a move and prevented the brother from eaching Jones The action of the pc lice in quickly taking Jones to Mount Holly was prompted by the informa- | Ia+ 4r ha1 ir,xy %ad to assemble in the City park, Burling- ton, for the purpose of taking some ac- ton. In the crowd that gathered about the lookup was one farmer who car ried sixty foot manila rope

Fire of Czar's GunneYs-MOre
 Fighting In Molten Pass.
 LONDON, July 7.-Advices from St. Petersburg say that Admiral Togo has made a bold attempt to repeat the Japanese exploit with torpedo boats at Weihaiwei during the Chino-Japanese war by sending torpedo boat destroyers into the harbor of Port Arthur to sink the Russian warships at their anchor age, but the attempt ended in disas- trous &ailure. r ceeded during the night in creeping into the harbor, which was not pro tected by booms, but only one escaped Two were sunk by the shore batteries and one crippled.
 So far as known the Japanese torpe' do boat destroyers did not even succeed in launching torpedoes.
 Though it is believed other destroy CTS participated in the attack, only four succeeded in getting in.
 The admiralty has no confirmation of the report from Liaoyang of an en- gagenent between the Vladivostok anu JdpduCSC O1 Gensan
 For two days there has been heavy fighting within twenty-five miles of Liaoyang, the Japa neseN object being to cut off Mukden.
 A battle. is still proceeding, as the sound of the guns can be heard here.
 Evidently the engagement is a severe one, as numbers of wounded are being brought in from the mountains, slung between mules or lying on mattresses in carts.
 Military experts at St. Petersburg say that the siege of Port Arthur, the holding and fortifying of the mountain passes, juncture of the forces of Gen erals Kuroki and Oku and possibly an extension of the line to the west coast of Liautong ill order to force out the Russians from Newchwang so that they may secure a new base there is conseryatively regarded as the Japa- nese programme for the next two months.
 How General Kuropatkin intends to oppose this plan is largely guesswork, though his advance posts are extreme ly active.
 A Tientsin report says that the Rus sian torpedo boat destroyer sLieuten- ant Burukoff, which successfully ran the blockade at Port Arthur and reached Newchwang June % with ad- vices for St, Petersburg from the be- leaguered fortress, has returned safely to Port Arthur
 Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has succeeded Rear Admiral Withoft at Port Arthur.
 Supplemental dispatches from Tokyo indicate that the fight at Motienlien pass was desperate hand to hand affair. A majority of the Japanese in- < jured were wounded by bayonets The Russians surrounded the outposts of the Japanese, who fought until relief came
 Tokyo adyices say that Field Mar shal Oyama, commander in chief of the Japanese field forces, accompanied by Generals Kodama and Fukushima and a numerous staff, has departed for the front, embarking at Simonoseki There was a remarkable farewell dem onstration The three generals were cheered all along the route at Tokyo Troops lined the platform at the sta ton, and when the train started there was tremendous cheering, while the band played "Auld Lang Syne." A short stop was made at Yokohama.

New York, Oct. 1.-Joseph Jefferson,
after more than. seventy years on the
stage, during which time he has become
one of the most honored and beloved
members of the dramatic profession, has
decided absolutely never to resume his
theatrical career. Deepest regret was
expressed by all who heard him make
the announcement.
| Mr.. jefferson arrived here from Bos-
ton, where he had rested a few days,
recuperating from his recent illness at
Buzzards Bay, which caused the aban.
donment of his fall tour. He is con
valescent, but still must be iudicious in
guarding his. returning strength, and
will remain here three weeks, after
which he will go by easy stages to
Florida, stopping in Washington for a
time and again in Atlanta.
When the decision was reached he
quietly announced it to his family.
81 will never act again. he said
MY days upon the stage are ended.'
Once the decision was made and its
first feeling of solemnity had passed
