Tuesday afternoon six of the crack players on the Seventh Avenue club took French leave from Manager James Me Kinney and left for better positions northward. These men were the main stays of the team and Mckinney is quite sore over their leaving. The game be- tween Seventh Avenue vs. South High lands was lost on account of their ab- sence.

THREE MEN TO GO
 TO THE SCAFFOLD
TENNESSEE MURDERERs WERE CONVICTED OF AN UNUSUALLY ATRoc.oUs cRlME-sHoT AGED MAN AND HIS WIFE.

Nashville, Tenn, May 4.-From the same scaffold three murderers will take the drop into eternity together at Win chester, Franklyn county, Tennessee, to- morrow. The crime for which Jo Delp, John Evans and Henry Judge will pay the penalty was a particularly atrocious one.
 On August 8, 1903, Delp and Evans called at the home of aged Simon Butcher, in the mountains near Winches- ter. enticed the old man into his garden, and shot him in the back. Leaving him for dead, they returned to the cabin, shot Mrs. Butcher down and set fire to the house. Next morning a passing horse man discovered the ruins and found old man Butcher with enough life in him to make a statement, which led to the ar rest of Delp and Evans. Their confessions implicated Henry Judge who they said hired them to do the murders promising payment of s125. Judges motives, it was alleged, was to get free access to cut timber which stood on lands which Butcher was employed to watch.

SLAGPlLE SETTINGS.

If base stealing came under the head of crimes against the law in Alabama the entire Coal Baron team would have long since been safely housed in the state, pen itentiary. Every man on the team pliers a bag whenever he desires and it has put big figure in the victories. With the exception of yesterday the entire team has put up some wonderful work
 In the past two days Birmingham has piled up a total of 29 runs and the man who runs the score board has had to secure help. Joe and Lee Slaughter whose names appear on the board have gotten double their moneys worth in adver- tis'ng. The first man who knocks down the score board with batted ball will he resented with the entire tailoring es- tablishment of these two gentlemen.
 Henry Lynch has developed into a star of the firrt water. What foolish thing it was for Birmingham to have hurt her self looking for second baseman when the real article was already at hand. He is one of the fastest base runners ever seen in the Southern league and hits when hits are needed.
 Jimmy Tamsett's time of suspension will expire tonight and he will appear in tomorrow's game. He has kept in prac- tice while doing time and his reap pearance in the game will be received with great rejoicing.
 Billy Smith hit the ball hard on two occasions yesterday but failed to land safe one. His record of the day before. however. can stand a big bunch of hard luck.
 Uncle Abner Powell failed to stick to his promise and lost yesterdays game to Nashville. Had he won Birmingham would have been In first place. It is said that the decision in the last half of the ninth inning which gave Nashville the game was of the punk-punk variety.

Nogi's Forces Attempt to
Pierce Port Arthur
FortificationS.
Persist in Their Attack
Upon the AntuShan
DefenSeS.

LONDON. Sept. 22.-According to the
Morning Posts japanese correspondent
two of the Port Arthur forts the Japan
ese are said to have occupied in the
vicinity of Shiushiying are Nantsai ana
Changkiatun, and their value to the
besiegers consists in the former being
close to the Antushan forts and the
latter to Dragon Hill forts, the object
of the Japanese being TO thrust pow
erful wedge in the gap between the
eastern and western tortincauohs'
through which the railway passes TO
Port Arthur from the north. Antushan
overlooks this gap and, though the Jap
anese failed to penetrate it sufficiently
in the assault of three weeks ago, the
persistency with which they returned
to the charge is held to prove that the
taking of the gap is as essential TO the
japanese plan Of campaign as it was
decade ago.
According to the Daily Nails Chefu
correspondent, the japanese at Port
Arthur have mounted additional guns
on positions captured in the last as
sauIt An attack from the sea, the
correspondent says, is now less effec-
tive. owing TO the continual high angle
fire having seriously affected the heavy
guns Of the blockading fleet.
The correspondent at Tientsin Of the
Daily Telegraph says that japanese
gunboats have left Yinkow preliminary
to a renewed and, ii is said, final at
tack on Port Arthur.
The Daily Telegrapn-s Chefu cor
respondent says that Japanese official
circles had thought that the fall Of
Port Arthur would be coincident with
the Afikado's birthday, November ), but
that they admit il has been postponed
until spring.
1T is significant" the correspondent
adds, that winter quarters are being
prepared at Dalny. When Newchwang
is frozen Dalny will be the main base
of the whole operations.
1T is reliably stated that General
Nogi. in command of the japanese
forces about Port Arthur, is preparing
a new scheme of attack, involving an
assault not upon the whole line, but
upon the commanding positions, 1t be-
ing essential TO speedily secure more
forts in order to enable the japanese
TO hold their present advantage
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-22

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. %, 1:20
a. m.-There is further delay in the
decisive news from the front. The
situation at Port Arthur remains a
blank, though it is felt that import
ant developments may be even now
occurring there. The movements in
the north are still of a tentative and
preparatory character on both, sides,
which have not yet crystallized into a
definite clash of forces at any one
point.
A resumption of the Japanese ad-
vance is now expected to occur any
day 1t is the third week since the
lighting at Liaoyang and the japanese
have had time to transport reinforce
ments from Yinkow and bring up
sufficient men to the front to replace
their losses, but it is not improbable
that several days Will intervene before
the armies come to close quarters.
The interval is being devoted on both
sides to feeling out the strength and
disposition of the opposing forces. The
japanese probably will attempt to
capture the passes of the Da Mountain
range, running half way between the
Hun and Taitse rivers. The posses
sion of these passes is important for
the Japanese, as ii will not only en-
able them to march northWard, but
also screen the movements OF Ine1f
troops from the prying gaze of Rus
sian scouts.
1t is fully appreciated here that the
Japanese must try for the possession
of Mukden, as otherwise it will be diff
ficult for them to provide the army
with winter quarters. Liaoyang does
not afford sufficient accommodat tions,
although many houses escaped de-
struction in the recent battle.
Movable huts are quite unsuitable
for the housing of the japanese, ow-
ing to the severity Of the climate. The
average winter temperature is forty
degrees below zero and the cold is in
tensified by continual winds and an
almost entire absence of snow. In
spite of this. however, the campaign
probably will continue during the
winter, if the Japanese succeed in get
ting into Mukden. In this contingency
General Kuropatkin. for various rea-
sons, will not be likely to allow the
japanese 10 remain in undisturbed
possession of this point, which is inn
portant not only from a strategical.
but from a political point of view

ROBBERS CACHE Is FOUND
NEAR GARDINER, MONTANA
$500 Stolen From Saloon Last April
Is Dug Out of Railroad
Embanl1ment

GARDINER, Mont, Sept. 21.-Four
hundred dollars in gold currency were
found to-day in the railroad embank-
ment near the depot at this place
wrapped UP in an old sock and placed
there early in the spring. This sock is
part of cache made by d. w. Dwight.
who entered the saloon of Trip &
Melloy April 81 and rified the safe of
nearly a thousand dollars in gold, and
currency and jewelry TO the value of
5000.
After the burglary Dwight left the
city and went to Livingston. where he
began drinking heavily and flashed a
hundTed-dCllar bill in payment for
drinks. The bartender grew suspicious
and notified the sheriff, who had the
prisoner shadowed He was arrested
at F'ridley and had in his possession
the stolen jewelry and a complete bur
glars kit. During his trial Dwight
said that he had hid the money in two
socks on the railroad embankment. but
said he could not remember the exact
place. Diligent search was instituted
at the time at the. place designated by
the prisoner. but all efforts to recover
the money proved unavailing. The
matter was dropped until to-day, when
Dan Tripp, with a miner, went to the
scene with the intention of making a
systematic search by digging up a
large portion of the embankment.
They had been searching about five
minutes. when they unearthed one Of
the socks, which was found to contain
a little more than $500. The search
will continue in an endeavOr to locate
the other sock.
Dwight is serving a six-year term in
the State penitentiaTy.

ALExIEFF AGAIN TO BLAME.
Now Held Responsible for the Lao
yang Defeat.

BERLIN, Sept. pa dispatch
from St. Petersburg TO the Tageblatt,
apparently prompted by the Russian
War Department. put the blame for
General OrloHs failure to hold the
Yentai coal mines equally upon Vice
roy Alexieff and General Orloff. The
correspondent says:
"Alexieff detained OrlOff on trivial
pretexts so that he reached the mines
at noon on September 1, wholly un-
Informed as to the situation. General
Samsonoff transmitted to him General
KUropatkin's strict order TO hold the
mines at all costs. but when Orloff
heard the cannonading in the direc-
ton of Sykwantun ne marched toward
that place, leaving Samsonoff alone to
hold the mines.
General Kuroki fell upon the left
flank a half hour afterward. Orloff
was completely surprised. His troops.
composed mainly of reservists who
had been long out of the service, were
uncontrollable and broke, going in the
direction of Yentai instead of back TO
the mines.
General Kuropatkin personally LED
the First Siberian Corps to the sup
port of the hard pressed Samsonoff." J"
