Ansonia. Conn. Sept. 9.-While Miss
Mabel Kent. a young woman OF Shei

loon in which her friends had dared
her to accompany an aeronaut named
Hayden at the Orange fair, the ordei
was given to cut the balloon loose, and
5000 people saw it rise with Miss Kent

Hayden tried in vain to swing his
parachute toward her so that he could
assist her, and Miss Kent was unable
to reach the cord which would have op-
Grated the knife and freed her para

gradually descended, landing in a tree
forty feet high.

FRISCO STILL swELTERs.
Forest Fires Threaten Great Redwood
Preserves.

San Francisco, sept 9.-The hottest
night in San Francisco's history fol-
lowed the hottest day, and the wilted
citizens rose the next morning to find
It still hotter. At 3 o'clock in the after
noon it was 100 degrees by the wealth
er bureau record.
Weather Prophet Meade says the
unusual weather here is due to storms
and disturbances in Mexico.
The heat was aggravated in the San
ia Clara valley by great forest fires in
Santa Cruz county. 1t is feared that
the big basin reserve just north of san
ia Cruz will be ruined, as fire has pen
etrated into the heavy redwood timber
and is beyond control. The state only
recently acquired this reserve for q
park, and the redwood trees which are
being destroyed are among the finest
in the state.

Story Of Lisoyans Fight.
Tokyo, Sept. O. - No bulletin has
come during the past twenty-four
hours from Field Marshal Oyama or
from his chief Of stan, Baron Kodama.
and in all probability official Japan is
in the dark as to the operations on
Wednesday Of General Kurokrs left
wing, which when heard from on Mon
day night was at the village OF Seupo,
on the easterly road TO Mukden and
about halfway between that point and
Liaoyang on the south.
There was qualification. however, last
night at the news from General Fulxi-
shima, who evidently is with the right
wing Of Kuroki's army. He announced
that a division and a half was east of
Patapo, which town is only six miles
south Of Mukden. How far east the
Japanese general did not say OF at
least the war department did not make
known.
He also bulletined that the japanese
troops had occupied Chuciatun I'm force
on Wednesday afternoon. This town is
twelve miles east Of the Manchurian
railway and ten miles south Of the
easterly branch Of the Hun river. II is
broad valley, between two spurs OF
the Shang mountains. and its occupa-
ton by General Kurokrs vanguard

move north OF Mukden with the object
Of incloslng that city or forcing Gen
eral Kuropatkin to give battle south of
Telling.
A General Battle Imminent.
The extent Of the fighting on the
west flank OF General Kuropatkin's
forces is not known, but the news
from the field that General Oku had
occupied Changtau on Wednesday aft.
ernoon is regarded as significant. This
town is ten miles west Of Mukden. II
is on the left bank Of the Sha river
and apparently Oku's army Is moving
on parallel lines with Kuroki, with the
Russian divisions between them and
Nodzu's soldiers attacking from the
south. The extent of the fighting sine,
Tuesday Is not known beyond the bul
letn Of Wednesday night that Kuro
ki's left was in battle with a consider
able force OF the Russian main army.
The opinion confidently held her
that a general battle cannot be delHyel
longer than next Tuesday unless Gen
eral kuropatkln can hold the righ
bank of the Hun river for seyera
= days against the Japanese army, thu
permitting his main divisions to e
north. The war strateglsts are cont
dent that the Russians viii not b
able 10 withdraw over the mountain
that lie north Of the Hun river bot
east and west OF the railway. Up I
this time the Russian commander ha
, had the advantage Of retreating on IN
valley side Of Manchuria. but north q
Mukden the mountains run for mile
on the two sides. and Il will be almOs
impossible 10 escape another engaG,
ment with the japanese division
which are now on the hanks Of IN
Russian army.
Revised estimates Of the Russia
force defeated at Llaoyang place IN
number as follows: One hundred an
eighty-four battalions OF infantry, II
sQuadrons Of cavalry and 5T2 guns.
