CAR WORKS
SOLD FOR S36,lOi BY TRUS.
TEE JOHNSON
BOUGHT BY CREDITORS
Canton Bridge Company
Gets the Buildings.

The Structural Steel car works,
which have been in the hands Of Trus-
tee U. s. Johnson for many months,
were sold at trustees sale Saturday,
being purchased by the Canton Bridge
company for s29,25O The Bridge com.
pany secured the buildings, land and
permanent machinery and the Cleve-
land Punch and Shear company pur-
chased the movable machinery for
$6,S51, making the total $40, Both
the purchasers were heavy creditors
and they bought to save themselves
from loss. The secretary of the
Bridge company, Mr.. W. O. Laiblin,
stated that the plant would be sold il
It could be disposed OF to an advan-
tage, as the company did not care to
utilize 1t. The bridge company fur
nished the structural iron for the
buildings
There were quite number of bid
ders present, principally creditors,
however When the money is collect
ed from the sale an effort will be made
to close up the affairs Of the company
The failure of the car works to get
into operation was a great disappoint-
ment to the citizens Of Canton, and
especially those living in the south
west section of the city. The build
ings are excellent and It is thought
that some line of manufacturing may
be carried on in them later. The proy-
erty includes several dwelling houses.

FINED So
For Nearly Wrecking an
Express Train.

Erie, Pa, May 1.-The Lake Shore
westbound express No. 27 had a mar
row escape from a serious disaster this
afternoon Just before 1t was due a
well dressed stranger who gave his
name as Andrew Dunn, formerly Of
Conneaut, o., entered the Lake Shore
round house and, before any one could
interfere, ran one of the heavy freight
engines out on to the main line.
Railroad detectives started in pur-
suit, and as there was little steam in
the boiler they managed to leap aboard
and stop the locomotive when it was
running only FIVE miles an hour. 1t
was backed on the switch only few
seconds before the fast train few
past.
Dunn could give no explanation for
his act and was fined IS, which he paid.

Columbus, o., May 1.-Speaking

The Rev. Mr.. Nickerson returned

1t was found that the charges upon
which he was arrested could not be

the rear of the Russian troops and
renewed the attack which continued at
last accounts with little change in the
situation.
At the war office early this morning
II was stated that no word had been
received from General Kuropatkin
since Saturday and that the officials
hero are entirely in the dark regard
ing the present conditions at the
front. However, it is stated that there
is no doubt that General Kuropatkin
has so disposed his troops that he is
in a position to crush the Japanese
when he gets ready to act.

THE ADVANCE
Of the Japanese Into
ManChuria.

Toxic, May 2.--It is officially an
nounced by the war Office that in con-
sequence of bombardment which be-
ban at dawn yesterday, Kiu-Len-
Cheng has been occupied by the Jap
anese.
This indicates that the Japanese ad-
vance across the Yalu has been begun
In earnest. Kiu-Lien-Cheng is on the
north bank of the Yalu river above
Wiju and is a short distance to the
southeast from Feng- -Hwang- Cheng.
The latter place has been strongly for
titled by the Russians and Is an out
post of their main line of defense.
No further details are iven out Off
cially but 1t is generally believed that
the Japanese forces will push forward
at once to the Russian stronghold.
From Kiu-Lien-Cheng roads lead to
Hai-Cheng and Liao-Yang which will
make the japanese operations COM
paratively easy, as they can rush their
artillery to the front SO that the in
fantry will not be compelled to ATTACK
the Russian fortifcations without the
support Of the heavy artillery.
The major part of the Russian army
in Southern Manchuria is at LiaoYang
but 1t is likely that the japanese OBJ
jective point is Hai-Cheng, as It was
there that one of the decisive battles
Of the Chinese-Japanese war was
fought in 1894.
With a good road, there is no reason
why the japanese should not reach
Hai-Cheng within eight days at the
most. Once astride the railway at
Hai-Cheng they will be able to cut off
Port Arthur and New Chwang from
Mukden.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 1.--For the first

and five months. There are few
scales to be signed but these will not
cause cessation Of work. The steel

WHO IS ROAD
SUPERVISOR?
Wilson Now Wants
His Office
Back.
HoIIoway's Order t
Vida Fails of
Result.
Supervisors Will Probably Order
the Road Office to Be Turned
Over Again

There was a little mix-up yesterday
between the County and the Territory
as to the conduct of the Road Depart
ment for Oahu. Charts B. Wilson, road
supervisor under the Territorial admin
istration, appeared in the road office
yesterday morning with an order from
Supt. Holloway to H: c. Vida, the road
supervisor appointed by the County, re
questing that the department be sur
rendered to Wilson. Vida refused to
give up, and said that he would first
have to get an order from the Board
of Supervisors. Wilson appealed to
the Superintendent of Public Works.
and Holloway sent him to the Gov
ernor. Wilson is out of Office and Vida
is in control, is the present status of
the situation.
Il gave Mr.. Wilson a letter this
morning to Mr.. Vida requesting him
to turn over the office to the former
road supervisor" said Superintendent
Holloway. II understand that Mr..
Vida refused to turn over the office
and is still in charge. Wilson is act
ing under his old commission which 1
believe is still in effect. The solution
of the problem will be that we will have
to get along without a road supervisor
for four or five days. Mr. Wilson in
tended to call on the Governor for aid,
I believe
Mr.. Wilson made a demand on me
for the road office this morning. said
Vida yesterday afternoon. He had "A |
letter from the superintendent of Pub |
lie Works, but told him that I would |
first have to get an order from the SUI
pervisors. I don't intend to turn the
office over to Charlie Wilson, but will |
surrender it to Supt. Holloway
The Supervisors will hold a meeting
Monday to consider the question of adj
journing sine die, and if it is decided
to surrender all the functions of coun-
ty government, Road Supervisor Vida
will be instructed to give up the road
office. In the meantime the old road |
force is continued at work under Su-
oervisor Vida and there is no delay in
the work of the department.
