CHILD SCARED TO DEATH.
Wild Rampage Of a Man Afflicted With
Epilepsy.

Philadelphia, (SpeciaD.-Seized with
a fit of violent epilepsy, Joseph Hciser
went on rampage through Andalu-
STA, on the Bristol pike, on Monday
afternoon. He frightened little girl
to death, terrorized the barroom of
the Red Lion Inn, smashed furniture
at his home and ended by throttling
a motorman on passing trolley car,
who finally succeeded in overpower-
ing Heiser and turned him over to
the police.
The body of six-year-old Marian
Rankin lies in a small casket in the
parlor of her parents home, on the
Red Lion road, the victim of Heiser's
dementia The child had always
stood in terror of Heiser, and she fled
in fright to her ilothep whenever she
saw him.
When Heiser, waving his arm
wildly in the air and screaming at the
top of his voice, ran toward her in
front of the Rankin home the little
girl started to escape from him, but
before she had gone dozen feet she
was overcome with terror and fell
dead in the roadway. Heiser, who
has during the spring and summer
months been employed as a farm
hand, has been subject to epileptic
fits, but never before have they taken
a violent form

TEXTILE MILLS HAVE STRIKE.
Thousands Of Operators Refused to Work
Will Be Determined Contest.

Fall River, Mass, (SpeciaD.-The
strike order issued by the Fall River
Textile Council calling for upwards
of 10000 operatives to remain away
from the mills in protest against
reduction of I2H per cent. in wages,
became effective Monday, and the
response was as general as the labor
leaders had predicted. In the 81 mills
corporations involved in the agree
ment to reduce wages it is estimated
that not more than 800 entered all the
gates in place OF the tide Of operatives
which between 6 and $50 every morn
ing sweeps through the various en-
tically every mill involved in the
trouble had shut down. The strikers,
who in some instances had assembled
near the mills dispersed quietly.
The manufacturers kept the gates
open until 7 o'clock, but save those
who had gone in at the usual tins,
none of the workmen accepted the op-
portunty, and by 7.3o practically every
mill save the Bourne had shut down
completely.
During the forenoon if was found
that the Narragansett Mills had spin
ners enough to warrant starting that
department. With this exception and
that of the Bourne Mills all others
are shut down.
Later the strikers gathered in force
at both these mills and induced so
many of the operatives of the Bourne
Mills to come out that the factory had
to close down for the afternoon. The
operatives at the Narragausett Mills,
however, refused to leave the yard
Both sides admit that this is the
beginning of one of the most deter
mined contests which Fall River han
ever seen. The manufacturers main
tain that they have tried every plan
which they could think of to avoid
reduction in wages. and took that final
step only when driven to do so to
save their business. On the other
hand, the operatives say that the con-
ditions affecting cotton manufacture
here did not warrant such reduction.
Central Falls, R. Five hundred
and fifty operatives struck at the mills
of the United States Cotton Company
here, against I2M per cent. decrease
in wages, and the mills were shut
down.
Taunton, Mass.-A reduction in
wages of I2H per cent. went into cf-
feet at the cotton mills of the Coss
Manufacturing Company at East
Taunton, but there was no strike.

SOME FIERCE BATTLES
The Russians Retreat From Tateh.-
kiao to Haicheng.
JAPANESE NOW HOLD NUICHwANG.
Their Occupation Of That Place Regarded as
Serious Blow to Russia Terrible Execu-
ton by Artillery In the Tatchekiao Engage
ment-Russians Claim to Have Destroyed
Many Of the Japanese Guns.

lowing each other in rapid successor.

heavy, all accounts agreeing that the
Russians have suffered the most.

by the Japanese, the retreat OF the
Russians from Tatchekiao to Hal
cheng and the determined advance
northward of the Japs, the operations
are rapidly approaching great crises
in the war.

be arriving as rapidly as the Rus
slams. Twenty-Five transports laden
with troops were cruising off the en-
trance to the Lao River, protected
by Japanese squadron.
Reports from Russian sources state
that the Russians with about 100 guns
in action in the battle of Tatchekiao
inflicted terrible execution among the
Japanese and destroyed many of their
guns.

off, the noted Russian commander,
was severely wounded in this engage
ment.
