PARKER TO RESIGN
WITHIN THE WEEK.


NEW WORK, Aug. 4.-Judge Alton
B. Parker will resign his place as
chief judge Of the New York Court
of Appeals before August s, in order
that his successor may be elected
this fall. If he held Office beyond
August S Governor Odell would ap-
point his successor, who would hold

The determination of the Judge to re-
sign is taken as an Indication that
the Democrats think they have an eX-
cellent chance to carry the State.
The resignation of Judge Parker
and the retirement of Judge Colera
E. Martin for age will make two va
cancies on the Appeals bench to be
filed by the voters this fall.

LYDIA JOHNS HIT LOVER
OVER HEAD WITH TEAPOT
Before She Was Arrested
She Knocked a Woman
Down With a Brick

Lydia Johns. colored, ran amuck the
other day in whitechapel. and before she
was arrested had soaked" Edward VIII
hams, her negro lover. over the head with
a tea-pot and brought a brick down on
Annie Johns head with telling effect. The
latter was painfully injured in the melee
and was removed to the Delaware Hos
pital for repairs" She appeared in City
Court this morning with her head swathed
in bandages and intent on prosecuting the
charge of assault and battery she had
preferred against the defendant. Williams,
however for reasons pest known to him
self. did not press the charge he had pre-
ferred against the woman and she was
only tried for the one offense. Through
her attorney. James Salisbury, she enter
ed a plea cf guilty and was fined SIS and
costs.
From what can be learned of the case,
it appears that Edward williams was the
ideal of both women. though Lydia Johns
claimed prior right TO his affections She
claims that Annie Johns alienated these
aforesaid affections and for that reason
she took the law in her own hands and not
only chastised Annie, but sailed" into

ARE STILL FIGHTING
THE TRADING STAMP
Mercantile Association Are
Pleased With Result.of Cru
SADIE 1t Is Making

The Mercantile Associations meeting
last evening, was devoted mainly 10 a
consideration of the trading stamp ques-
ton. Reports showed that only thirty-five
OF ,he merchants in the city now hanil.ag
stamps had not signed the formal agree
ment TO stop on November l. and verbal
promises had been made by some Of
these.
The greatest point for encouragement
lay in the announcement that the large
stores in the city were anxious to drop
the premium devices and committees were
ra.ned for a final canvass.
Advertising of various kinds will be used
in the fight against the stamps and conf
mittee was appointed to have it in charge.
Cards will be distributed to the merchants
telling their customers that the giving OF
stamps will be discontinued.
The fight is to the finish as the mer-
chants realize that unless they win the
association will have to disband.
A peculiar feature of the local situa-
ton, brought out at last evenings meet
ing is that the stamp companies have
combined here TO make the price $3.50 a
pad for less than five pads and SIS a pad
if more than five are purchased at one
time. In Chester the same stamp can be
bought for $3.50 a pad.

SERIOUS SITUATION.
Decisive Battle Considered Imminent
at Mukden.

Mukden. Oct. Wounded arriving
from the south and east hiring news OF
a second abrupt change in the enemy's
position. Reports received earlier led
to the opinion that Marquis Oyama
was Withdrawing his main body TO
Yentai and Pensihu and had aban-
doned the idea OF ain early advance.
The latest arrivals say turning move
ment was begun by the Japanese cen
ter yesterday against n force that went
south from the Russian right Cos
sacks from the east confirm rumors OF
sharp move north and northwest
ward by Kurokis forces.
Two Of the three armies commanded
by that general are close to the Hun.
The third is advancing due north from
Sienchan in support OF the others.
Nodn and Oku apparently are co
operating against Kuropatkin's right
I'm an attempt to drive wedge between
that wing and the Russian center. De
tails are lacking. but the continued in
now of wounded soldiers and sudden
rush Of refugees from outlying villages
south of the Hun tend to corroborate
vague stories of a general advance.
Members of the war council regard
the situation as more serious than II
appeared previously. II Is known the
enemy has an enormous force available
for immediate use and IL Oyama is
pushing all his armies against this
place q probably decisive battle seems
inevitable.
According TO the best estimates OBJ
! tainable. the Japanese army confront
! ing General Huroputkin comprises a
grand total of $50 battalions. Allowing
500 men to a battalion. there are ILL.,
600 infantry In addition there are
$500 cavalry and 63s guns.
