CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
Promoter of Fake Insurance Company
Wanted In New York.

FfQInOLGE OF = akG AuSAi aiSS CStaFeNy
Wanted In New York.
Philadelphia, Dec. discharges Of
conspiracy, false pretense and for
gerry, involving s15O,OO0, are made
against John Bough, alias Baker, who
was committed in the city hall police
court to await requisition from the
New York authorities. New York de-
tectives arrested Bough as he was
leaving the county prison, where he
had served six months for swindling
operations in the name of the Boyer
Sign Manufacturing company, OF Phil
adelphia.
According to information in the pos
session of the police department,
Bough and other persons, who have
since disappeared, established an in
surance company under the name Of
Lloyd's Insurance Company of Amer
lea. The concern, it is alleged, wrote
s4.OOO.OO0 worth of fire insurance and
collected $3.50, 900 in premiums, the in
sured having been led, it is charged,
to believe that Bough was the Amer
ican agent of Lloyds of London. Six
months ago a collapse followed the
non-payment of policy, and the pros
ecution claims that the discovery was
then made that the safe was filled
with assets in the shape of worthless
deeds and mortgages.

Three Of Them Perlshed In a Trap
Made BY Themselves.
Philadelphia, Dec. q. Four men
were suifocated and eight other per
sons were rescued from fire in
different parts of the city At a board
ing house at 1545 Wood street, Charles
McCusker, aged A years; James
Merry, aged As years. and Joseph Nc
Gill, aged "a years, died in a trap
made by themselves. Against the
wishes and the knowledge of their
boarding house keeper the three men
took a quantity of whiskey to their
room. They placed one of the two beds
IN the apartment against the door to
prevent interference by the boarding
house keeper. After the men had re-
tired q lighted candle fell from man
tel on the greasy working clothes Of
one of the boardeTs. The clothing was
ignited and the room was soon filled
with a thick smoke. McGill was
awakened by the smoke, but was un-
able to move the bed from the door
and fell to the floor unconscious. The
boarding house keeper discovered the
smoke, and when the room was broken
into McCusker and Merry were found
dead. McGin died soon after being re-
moved to a hospital.
I At 1886 Fairmount avenue, Edward
-athtine, aged about 25 years, and be-
lleved to be a resident of New Jersey,
Vas also suffocated. It is believed he
set the bedclothes on fire with a
lighted cigar, and in trying to leave
the room crawled into a closet by mis-
take, where he was found dead. His
face was slightly burned.

Rev. L. NJ. Foster of Charles City,
Ia a retired minister of the COngrega-
tional church, is a unique character.
His mother was a second cousin of Lu-
Glen, Jerome and Napoleon Bonaparte'
and they were cousins Of King Louis
XIV. One Of his ancestors was SEN
fenced for marrying outside Of the roy
al family, but when Louis NV. be-
came king he was reprieved and his
sentence changed to banishment to
America, and this is how Mr. Fosters
branch Of the Bonaparte family came

CHAIN OF FORTS
TAKEN BY JAPS
nantpre All Advance Positions West
of Port Arthur.
TOWN NOW UNDER NOGrS GUNS

Toxic. Dec. 27.-The most important
commencement that has come from
General Nogi since the capture OF 2OS-
Metre Hill was received, when he re-
ported that the japanese captured all
0f the advanced positions defending
port Arthur on the west. The area CAP
tured comprises a chain Of forts reach
ing from 2O3-Metre Hill southwark to
pigeon Bay. There are a number OF
fortified heights from which Port Ar
thur can be bombarded, and the guns
on these heights can prevent the move
ment of troops by land from Port Ar
thur proper to Liaoti Mountain, where
it has been expected that the Russians
would make their last stand. If at any
time the garrison should be compelled
to evacuate the city it could nsts a 4

would be within Tange Of the Japaness
guns for over a mile of the iourr
General Nogi's report is as solle.rs:
"a body of our right wing sur
prised the enemy at Housanyentao and
Siaofantun, the latter about six and
a half miles northwest of Port Arthur,
at 10 o'clock Saturday night, and oc-
cupied the villages. and, subsequently
dislodging the enemy, occupied the
whole of Talichiatun, five miles north
west of Port Arthur, at 2.55 o'clock in
the morning.
"Our repeated attacks during the
mast few days were uniformly success
ful, and now the whole of the enemy's
advanced position, fronting our right
wing, is in our hands"
The continued success of General
Nogi's operations have given renewed
hope to the government that the for
tress will soon be taken and that the
third army will be able to reinforce
Marshal Oyama at Lao Yang.
In the meantime Toxic is again a
great military camp, and the scenes
of last spring, when the first armies
were mobilized and dispatched, are be-
ing duplicated. Thousands of recruits
and reservists are assembled, drilling
and equipping preparatory to taking
the field. The permanent ana teHpoI-
ary barracks are filled, and it is neces-
sary to billet the soldiers brought to
the city. Oyama field is the centre OF
activity, while infantry, cavalry and
artillery are constantly drilling.
The batteries fire blank charges for
the purpose of breaking in the new
horses.
The general military preparations
are enormous. It is planned to give
Field Marshal Oyama a rough total
of half a million men, with heavily
increased artillery arm, besides pro-
viding a defense for Formosa and the
southern islands in anticipation of the
Russian second Pacific squadron's at
tempt to seize base. The port OF Ke-
lung in Formosa, has been declared
in state of siege, and other positions
in Formosa and the Pescadores are
progressing.

Rv Explodinu Gas.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 2S.-John Guy,
foreman of bricklayers. was burned to
death and five others seriously in
jured in an explosion in furnace y
of the Edgar Thomson plant of the
Carnegie steel company at Braddock.

The furnace had been blown out for
repairs. and the men were at work re-
lining it, when gas which had accumu-
lated ignited from the heat causing
the explosion. At the same time the
flash set fire to the trestle and the
watchman's shanty adjoining the fur
mace, but the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished. The damage to the furnace

a .periaI Ukase Makes Liberal Prom
ises Under a Number Of Heads.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-An imper-
ial ulxase just issued makes decidedly
liberal promises under a number OF
heads. 1t promises a full and equit-
able enforcement of existing laws; as
sures the Zemstvos of the fullest pos
sible measure of self-government, and
the enforcement of the laws now exist
ing in their behalf; promulgates
scheme of workmen's insurance, ex-
tends the liberty of the press, and
promises a full legal trial Of all per
sons accused.
M. Witte seems to be high in the
favor of the emperor, and is almost
daily visitor at Tsarskoe-Selo.
The Zemstvos generally are in
creasing the budgets from 80 to 80 per
cent in order to meet the increased
demands of the Red Cross work for
the relief of the reservists.
There seems to be no evidence OF
cessation of the agitation in different
parts of the country in favor of liberal
reforms. nt oAlheAbACA - -AS'N ~~~--N~
