NEW DEPARTURE,
Brockton Labor Man Noti-
 fled of His Nom- inatiOn.

Brockton. Mass, Oct 13.-Democrats from various parts of the state gath cred in this city to-day to attend the ceremonies in connection with the no- tifcation of William l.. Douglass of this city that he has been nominated by the democrats for governor of Mas sachusetts. This manner of notifica- tion is distinct departure from the custom in this state, where, hereto, fore, the successful candidate has been notified immediately after the declara- tion of the ballot, and has usually ap. peared forthwith a speech of accept ance.
 The notification committee was com. posed of the following: Congressman John R. Thayer, Worcester; Mayor Patfick A. Collins, Boston; Nathan Mathews, Jr, Boston; George Fred Williams, Dedham; Congressman Will liam s. McNary, Boston; Congressman John A. Sullivan, Boston; Congressman John A. Keliher, Boston; James B. Carroll, Springfield; John J. Flaherty, Gloucester, and Charles $. Hamlin, Boston
 Congressman Thayer, as chairman of the committee, was chosen to make the notification speech.

GOT MURDERER.
New Haven Police Quickly Collared This
 Han.

New Haven, Oct 13.-Francisco San dllo, the Italian who is believed to have fatally stabbed Antonio Longo- bardi during quarrel over a girl last night, was caught in the outskirts or this city early to-day as the result of an order to the patrolmen to stop and question all pedestrians who seemed to have no fixed purpose in walking about before daylight. Many forefgn- CTS were intercepted and sent to police headquarters as suspicious persons. and finally two officers sent in Sam tillo, who had been unable to explain his wanderings about the residential district. This man was recognized as the one seen with Longobardi just before the quarrel. An autopsy on the body of the victim shows that he was stabbed once with sharp weapo1,. the wound going into the muscles of the heart and probably penetrating that organ.

FAvORs THE CANTEEN.
Brigadier General Burton Issues
 Annual Report.

Washington, Oct 13.-That the can teen is of great moral benefit to the army is the claim made by Brigadier General A. H. Burton, in his annual report as inspector general of the army to the secretary of war made public to-day.
 .'The absence of this,'' he says, "leads to sickness, the commission of military offenses, desertion and other crimes, as well as impaired discipline, by driving men to resort to the low dives and groggeries that have sprung up like mushrooms around military reservations since the prohibition law. was enacted. Tn fact the canteen feature is not only benefit morally, but the profits derived from the sales of beer and light wines are used to improve the mess as well as for the purchase of periodical publications, etc, which also add to the soldiers comfort and contentment."

MORE DIVORCE.
The Troublesome Question Discussed Again To-Day
 at Boston.

Boston, Oct 13.-The divorce ques ton came up again to-day in the house of deputies of the Episcopal general convention. The house of bishops continued it's sessions, and the conferences of the woman's auxiliary of the board of missions was resumed at Pierce hall Bishops Anson R. Cranes of Laramie, Wyoming, Lemuel H. Wells of Spokane, and William O. Gray of Southern Florida, delivered addresses to the auxiliary. The Soci- ety of St Philip the Apostle met at St Stephens church this afternoon. A corporate communion was celebrated by Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of Pittsburg, honorary president of the society. An address was given by Right Rev Chauncey B. Brewster, bishop of Connecticut. The Society of St Philip is an organization of parish priests, who undertake the preaching of missions in any part of the church, while still retaining parsh work.
 As soon as the house of deputies resumed the considera- tion of business Francis l.. Stetson of New York presented reso- lution limiting debate on the marriage and divorce canon to five hours after the matter shall be reported to the house by the committee of the whole. MT Stetson proposed to give the major ity vote supporters three hours and the minority two hours for debate. The resolution was discussed by a number of the deputies.

MORTON WANTS LIGHT
will AsK investigation of Navy Courts Martial.

Washington, Oct 13.-Such is the lack of uniformity in the sentences inn posed by summary court martials in the navy and so imperatively necessary does he regard a remedy for this con- dition. that Captain s. w B. Diehl, judge advocate general of the navy, in, his annual report, approved by Sec retary Morton to-day, ann lnces his intention to ask at an early date for an investigation of the whole subject by a board of officers appointed by the department. Captain Diehl recom- mends authorization by congress of a summary court of one officer instead of four as is now required for the trial of minor offenses, thus relieving three fourths of the officers now engaged in summary court work.
 Legislation is required providing for the organization of xamining and re- tiring boards, merging the professional and medical boards tito one board and remedying the presAnt cumbersome two board system; the converting of general courts martitl in the island possessions of the United States by officers in command O. such stations, the present. lawvmaking it incompetent for the department to delegate such authority to officers. Additions to the prison at the navy yard, Mare Island and to that at the navy yard, Wash, ington, costing respectively $50,0O0 and $14 1000, are recommended.

Knights Father Matthew Closes Its
 Annual Session.

St Louis, Oct 13.-The supreme coun- cil of the Knights of Father Matthew has closed it's twenty-frst national con- vention.

RUSSIANS AND JAPANESE
 NOW IN DEATH STRUGGLE
The Little Japs Now the Offensive Results After Yesterdays Fighting Left the Battle Draw Japanese Captured Another Lot of Guns-B Battle is Still Raging, Although This is the Fourth Day.

St Petersburg, Oct 13 Q:53 p. m.)-- The Russian and Japanese armies wrestling below Mukden seem now to be locked in a death struggle for the mastery. Field Marshal Oyama is countering General Kuropatkin's thrust at the Japanese right by an ad- vance against the Russian right. The situation, on much larger scale, re- sembles that of vafangow, when Gen eral Stalkenberg in essaying to turn the Japanese right had his own right turned. The Japanese assumed the of fensive yesterday against the Russian right forcing the latter to give ground. But along the center stretching from Yentai station eastward, where Gen. eral NodZu also attempted desperate counter attack and where the fighting was hottest, the Russians held their own. The result at nightfall was a draw. This is the latest word received by the war office from Kuropatkin, but. according to the dispatch of the Associated Press from Mukden, the Japanese resumed the offensive again this morning. No word has come re- garding the operations of the Russian turning movement on Oyama's right, on which the success of Kuropatkin's s plan of battle seems to depend. the war office explaining that reports from this point had not reached Kuropatkin when he sent h3s dispatch, and, conse- quentfy, information is lacking of the operations at the very point where all eyes center and where the heavy blow was evidently aimed. The strength of the force with which Kuropatkin has undertaken this turning movement has not developed. The mixed column which crossed the Taitse river Sunday is now believed to be General Rem nenkampp's force, probably joined to other mixed columns under either General Mistchenko or Gen. eral Kashtalsky The infantry and artillery engaged in desperate fighting in the neighborhood of the Bensihu lords, the Japanese having fortified a short line from Bensihu to Liudiudia, to protect their right flank
 These columns evidently marched down from Fushun, separated at Bent siaputze, a portion taking the direct Bensihu road and the others the road to Uitzy and Koutiatsze, which cross es the river at Siantziatzi, 15 miles above.
 The war office is reticent regarding the movements of the flying column on the extreme Russian left, which was striking at the line of Japanese communications with the Yalu river, but 1t is reported to have been checked
 at Dziantchan, equivalent to the Jap
 anese Hsienchwang Otherwise Sian cham.
 The Japanese narrow gauge railroad from Fengwangcheng to Saimatsze
 connects with the roads and depots at
 Dziantchan and Siaodyr. Altogether the news this morning is not complete
 ly reassuring The Novoe Vremya
 voices the prevailing sentiment, say ing:

 DEATH AT NEW YORK:
 MAN CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
Gave His Name John Smith. But is Said to be a
 Member of a Wealthy Family Fire Started in

New York, Oct 13.-One woman was Eburned to death, man said to be of 1ocal prominence leaped from win dow and sustained injuries which will make him a cripple for life, and sew eral other persons had thrilling es- capeS from death or injury in fire in 1 a house on West 54th street to-day.

Everywhere there were flames on the lower floor, and Mrs Ferguson soon was overcome and fell back into the flames. Tn the meantime the oc- cupants of the upper part of the house were aroused by the screams of the two women. Two young women suc- ceeded in escaping to an adjoining house by smashing out the windows l of their rooms and crawling across the narrow cornice on the building. The 1 man, who later gave his name to the I police as John Smith, in his desire to escape quickly from the building dis regarded all warnings and leaped { sthrough one of the broken windows to the stone paved yard 30 feet below. Tn his fall the man turned slightly and struck with terrific force on his knees. He was disabled and when 1 found was taken to hospital There ] it was found that both knee caps were l broken and the surgeons said that his injuries would cripple him for life.

Twenty Carpenters Called Out at Bridgeport
 To-Day.

Bridgeport, Oct 13.-No general strike of the carpenters in Bridgeport was declared to-day as was threatened yesterday by the Carpenters union, although twenty carpenters were called out and all responded.

It will save consumers money and the city would gain by such a course, too. The tappings can be made to better advan. tage and it would avoid trouble in other ways. The only bad feature about it now is the danger of installing hydrants in small tenement houses and fixing the price so that the owners of tenements will pay high price for what large consumers will get at n very modest rate. No matter what comes it seems to hit the fellow at the bottom rather hard Why should one man pay 3 cents for hundred gallons of water while some of his neighbors get the same amount for half a cent?
