QUINN BRINGS SUIT FOR
TR0VER AND CONVERSION.

James Quinn OF this city who before
Labor day in the year 1919 made contract
with the rector OF st. Theresa's church
to have swings at the church picnic on
that day has had a good deal of trouble
over his swings ever since. one Patrick
Cunningham attached the swings on the
picnic grounds claiming Mr. Quinn owed
him rent.
AT a trial in the Sixth district court
Mr.. Cunningham lost his case lie took
an appeal TO the common pleas division
OF the supreme court. There Mr.. Quinn
was again victorious. II is claimed that
all this time the swings and their APP
purtenances were in Mr.. Cunningham's
stable and that though frequent demands
were made by Mr.. Quinn he could not
get his property.
Cooney a Cahill have been Mr.. Quinn's
counsel throughout the protracted litiga-
tion and they today entered for him

has decided TO recall him. probably plac-

Ouktomsky lacked the requisites OF COM
mand OF a fleet under such difficult cir
cumstances but owing TO the impossi-
bihty OF sending a flag officer TO Port
Arthur he was allowed TO remain In

satisfied with his action In returning TO

TAKING PREPARED POSITIONS.
ST. Petersburg Sept. 7-5:36 y. M
The bulk OF the Russian Manchurian
army is near Mukden. where II now ap-
pears General Kuropatkin has been since
Monday. His troops, II is understood,
are not entering the city but are taking
up prepared positions around Mukden.
While there Is no specific information
on this point. the general stan believes
that only a small rear guard is In the
neighborhood OF Yentai.
No further 1ghting OF Importance Is
expected south OF Mukden.
The critical stage is regarded as hav-
ing passed and the announcement was
made this afternoon that the war Office
will no longer give out two bulletins
each day.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1904-09-07

While not Understanding the difficult
Ties attending the task OF the retirement
OF the army northward and the continued
threat from oyama's right, the Novoe
vremya evidently considers that II al
ready has practically been successfully
accomplished.
CONSEQUENCES OF DEFEAT
The Novosti says: I'm England. France,
md Germany, the serious nature OF the
consequences OF the defeat OF the Russian
army is fully appreciated and as the
views of their military critics are by no
means unfavorable. there exists no reasons
why we should give way 10 despair over
q defeat which never took place"
The Invalid Russ. the army organ. also
continues 20 maintain that Oyama met
with a strategical defeat Ii expresses
the opinion that Oyama has not vet given
up hope OF fanking Kuropatkin for which
ne Is strengthening Kuroki and diminish
ting the pressure against the Russian rear.
The Novoe Vremya reviewing the stua-
tion declares emphatically that neither
mediation nor peace are now even thought
of.
No further details OF the losses suffered
by the Russians during the ten days
fighting have been received. How long the
roll OF casualties ultimately will be can
De estimated Dy the oliltihl report VI the
number OF officers killed or wounded be-
tween Aug 26 and Aug. 81 in a single di-

dratsvitch which Is under Gen. Zaraou-
baiefr and which formed part OF the Rus
sian right below Lao Yang lost IL Off
GERS killed. 35 wounded and one missing.
GENERAL STAFF RETICENT.
The general staff naturally Is reticent
about Kuropatkin's plans especially
whether he intends TO stop at Mukden.
His decision probably will depend upon
the intentions OF the Japanese. Contin-
gent preparations will probably be made
TO evacuate Mukden and there is consid-
erable evidence that Kuropatkin. if COM
PEELED to go north will make stand at

TO make an absolutely sure diagnosis in
his care was in the laboratory. He is
a near friend OF mine. and got read
