(By the Associated Press.)

Toxic, Aug. 24.-9 a. m.-Further
details of the disabling of the Russian
battleship Sevastopol have been re-
ceiVed here. 1t seems that on Tuesday
afternoon while engaged in shelling
the Japanese land forces from a posi-
ton outside of Port Arthur, the bat
tleship struck a mine and was disabled
by the explosion. She was towed into
Port Arthur. The Japanese battle
ship ASahi was detailed to watch the
SeVastopol. Her commander reports
that the Russian ship emerged from
Fort Arthur Tuesday morning and CO.
operated with certain Russian batter
les in bombarding the Japanese
forces on shore This firing had been
kept up for several hours. when the
SeVaStopol suddenly struck a sub
merged mine. The explosion caused
her to list heavily to starboard, and
at the same time she lurched forward
almost burying her bow under the wa
ter She was towed back into Port
Arthur by a tug.
Admiral Kataoka reports that the
Japanese curiserS NisShn and KaSuga
fred upon the Russian forts on Tues
day. They discovered that the Rus
slams were shelling the Japanese land
forces from a position near Lungtsin-
tsZe. The Nisshin and the Kasuga

NEWS FROM OAK RIDGE.
New DOrmitOry TO be Built-Satisfac-

(Special to News and ObserverD

Especial to News and Observer
oak Ridge, n. c., Aug. 24.-The
coming terms promises to be the most
largely attended in the history of Oak
Ridge Institute. Nearly every room
is already taken and the indications are
that by the opening of the term every
room in the dormitorieS and in the
private boarding houses will be taken.
There has been a wonderful increase
in the financial ability of our people
to educate their children since 1875,
when the present principals of Oak
Ridge Institute took hold of this in
stituticn. There are probably more
men in Mecklenburg county alone
who are able TO send their boys to
school and college than there were
in the whole State in 1875.
A new dormitory and hotel with
room to accommodate one hundred
and fifty is i'm contemplation and will
probably be built during the coming
year.
The result of the county convention
last Saturday gives very general salts
faction, though attention has been
called to the fact that not a singe
nominee or county officer comes from
the northern half of the county. This
was a great oversight inathe conven-
ton, and results from the accidents
of the primary system which forbids
anything like deliberaJion in the con-
Vention. Attention is also. called to
the fact that for years those holding
paying offices of the county have lived
in Greensboro.

town and railroad-a repetition of the
now famous Peabody street litigation
-put everything is now smooth on the
surface There is no telling what vii,
ne the outcome of the matter at some
future date.
"A number of years ago the old Rich
mona and Danvlle road cut tunnel
ulder the road, this allowing Carr
street to pass across Pettigrew,- un-
DER the road bed and into Peabody
street ON the north side. The move
that caused the special session of the
aldermen was the fact that the South
ern road was laying Il track down the
slde or PettigreW street, across thu
mouth of this tunnel. A number OF
citizens petitioned the board, asking
for the special session of aldermen.
which was called.
AT the meeting a number of citi-
zens attended. John Sprunt Hill pre-.
sented a petition signed by several
cluzens, calling attention to the fact
of the laying of this side track across
the mouth of the tunnel 1t was con-
tended that the side track would be q
regular death trap to the numerous
citizens and school children who pass
under the track daily. Judge r. w.
Winston presented the law in the mat
ter, reading numerous decisions from
the law books. He then presented az
ordinance that he thought would cover
the matter.
The ordinance was adopted. IT pro-
vides that no tracks shall be laid
across Carr street by any railroad un,
less the track is at the same elevation
of the main track and that if the or
dinance is violated it shall be mis-
demeanor ana that the fine shall h1
500 for each day that such track ia
allowed to remain.
Agent j. B. Graham with his alto A.
ney, Sidney c. Chambers. was at the
meeting and Mr.. Chambers advised
the board that the new track woulG
do no special damage and that th4
road would always have men on the
outlook when train and ca passed
the mouth of the tunnel.
For the present the matter is set
tied. But Pettigrew street looks as
if it will yet be a second Peabody
street in litigation. One street is on
the north side of the right-of-way ana
the other on the south side. If the
road and the city lock horns in this
matter at any future time there will
be another long drawn out litigation
But the people and road officials hope
this time will never come.

Bossoto. IS years old. was shot t.
death in his fathers restaurant in
Park street, by Carlo Rossati, 35
years old. today because he had dis
closed to the police secrets of the
alleged BLACK Hand
The father was knocked down and
choked into insensibility by the slay-
er, who then ran down the street,
followed by a great mob. Italians to
the number of one thousand later
attacked the Elizabeth street police
station, hurled missiles at the police
and prisoner, hurting two detectives
and one policeman.
They would have torn the murderer
limb from limb had not it been for
the arrival of the reserve police from
two station houses who were forced
to use clubs and fists and threatened
to shoot.
According to the police the murder
was deliberately planned by an or
ganiZed gang. BoSSoto is an enemy
of these organized gangs and his son
inherited the fathers opposition to
the lawlesS element of their country
men. Whrn not studying music young
BoSsoto helped about the restaurant
Several weeks ago he learned that
Bend had planned to rob number
of miners who were coming through
New York. and who had engaged
board in the lodging house over the
Bossotto restaurant.
Young Bossoto went to the police
and asked protection for the men.
and soon an Italian detective had
arrested twelve suspicious characters
who were held until the miners had
taken a ship for their homes.
Once out of jail, it is said, the. gang
determined upon Bossoto's death.
Early today Rossati entered the res
taurant and when approached by the
Rossoto said he wanted nothing. AS
Bossoto was about to close the place
he asked Rossati to leave. The latter
became inSolent and refused.
Young BoSsoto who was in The
kitchen, heard his father and the
man in an argument and came out.
The instant he saw young Bossoto.
Rossati took pistol from his pocket.
levelled it at the youth and fired. The
bullet struck the boy between ths
eyes, and he fell, dying instantly.
Rossati then, according to the police,
struck the elder Bosoto with his fist.
knocking him down. and started to
run, but was captured before he had
gone two blocks.

(Bv the Associated Press )

New Orleans, Aug. 24.-The cotton
market received one of the greatest
surprises in it's history today when,
three quarters of an hour after the
opening, the we'll known firm of H. +.
Page &, Company, posted an an
nouncement to the effect that it W9k
unable to meet further calls fCf
margins. Up to that time the mark
ct promised to be quiet, almost as
quiet as yesterdays market was ac-
tive, but on the reading of this no
tice the ring was thrown into the
widest confusion and in an instant
prices scared as traders endeavored
to buy cotton to protect themselves.
October and December within a min
utes time went up 81 and 81 points.
The confusion about the ring was
all the greater because the interest
Page &c Company had in the market
was unknown. They have been one
of the heaviest operators on the short
side of the market for some time,
but it has been generally supposed
that their transactions were profitable
and not the slightest hint or suspicion
has ever been given out or felt that
they were embarrassed or Likely to
be-. The advances of the last day or
two, however. have been wild and
wide, and it is generally supposed
exhausted the resources or the frm.
The general estimates Of the interest
of the firm in the market range all
the way from $4,000 to 100000 bales.
The firm is composed Of III. Frellsen
Page, William A. Bree and Alfred f.
Page.
Mr.. Page. iii statement concern
ylns the suspension. said:
1T is merely q case of temporary
suspension of business. and / am glad
to say that the obligations Of the
firm Will be met. dollar for dollar
We have only a slight interest in the
New Orleans market, our heaviest in
terests being in the New York and
Liverpool markets. The trouble was
caused by our inability to meet mar
gin calls from Liverpool, the advance
in that market having been great
during the last few days.
L can confidently say that it will
not be long before we will be ac-
lively engaged in business again"
A peculiar feature of the suspen-
sion is that the offices occupied by N
f. rage & Company are directly under
the offices occupied by Daniel j.
Sully, the firm that made such
spectacular failure last spring.
