THIRD CASE OF A KIND

NEW HAVEN. Conn, May 25.-A brutal
assault similar to two previous ones that
have created a great stir in this city took
place tonight. A we'll dressed young
woman was attacked in a dark street by
a man. supposed to be negro. The as

a Japanese feet of four cruisers and four

ST PETERSBURG. May photographic
communication with Nieu-Chwang Is inter-
rupted and private messages for points
south Of Liao-Yang are refused here at the
telegraph Office. The nature OF the inter-
ruption with Nieu-Chwang is not known,
but the cause for refusing messages south
of Liso-Yang Is the complete absorption
OF the lines for military purposes.
There are indications that General Kuro-
patkin IS preparing TO make a very impor-
fant move against the enemy. One of the
reasons for this belief is the sudden in
creased restrictions upon the war corre-
spondents at the front The prevailing be-
lief here is that General Kurokfs army is
in difficulties.
No confirmation is obtainable here of the
report from Che-Foo that Port Arthur was
bombarded yesterday by the Japanese feet.
but with Geographic communication inter-
rupted the authorities here are not in a pO-
sition TO question the accuracy of the state
ment made.

Charles NJ. Melden, d. D., of Providence
r. L., former resident of the South in an

Tillman, of South Carolina, and Senator
Money, of Mississippi are almost too scan

reduce the negro to a political nonentity and
are endeavoring TO create the impression
throughout the country that he is a mon

HEIR LOSES BECAUSE
HE DELAYED SUIT
Appellate Court Rules Against
Younger Brother in the Wiki
inson Case.

Fred III. Wilkinson, whose parents died
when he was but four months old, and who
was reared in ignorance of the fact that
his father had left any property until he
was twenty-five years of age has lost all
claim for a share in the property because
he did not begin his action to recover with
in two years after he attained his majority.
This was the substance of the decision of
the Appellate Court yesterday in the case
of Fred H. Wilkinson VS.. Samuel R. Wiki
inson.
When Wilkinson's parents died in Iowa
his older brothers were brought back to
their grandparents in this State and an
uncle was appointed their guardian. He.
however, was taken by a neighbor in Iowa
and was afterward taken to farm in South
Dakota, where he grew up as a farm la
borer in ignorance of the fact that he had
a claim to property left by his father. He
did not visit his relatives in Indiana until
he was twenty-five years old, and he dis
covered then that the property had all been
turned over TO his older brothers. He
brought suit to recover his share, but not
within two years after he was of legal age.

POOLROOMS FLEECEO
BY CLEVER W|RE-TAPPERS
Coup That Was Easily Executed
Owing to Stoppage of West
ern Union Wire Service.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, May 25.-The pool
rooms were numerically fleeced to-day by
a clever overlapping, easily executed on
account of the recent stoppage of the
Western Union service. Four races were
wrongfully reported and settled for, and
as result the local poolrooms stand to lose
thousands of dollars.
In the first race at st. Louis they paid on
Sylvan Belle to win, which ran third. In
the third race settlement was made on
Jingler TO win, which was not in the
money. p j. Somers, in the first race at
Chicago, was wired a winner. when Water
melon won, and in the third race Aunt
Katherine was given as the winner, when
La Londe came in first. Two suspects have
been arrested.

workman Assumes No Risk.

The judgment for 5000 recovered by
Owen Cavanaugh for the loss of an arm
while working in the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad shops at Washington, Ind, was
affirmed yesterday by the Appellate Court.
Cavanaugh lost his arm while ripping a
board with a circular saw, and in his suit
charged that the fault lay with the rail-
road company, because it had failed to put
guards around the saw as required by the
factory inspection law. In the opinion of
the Appellate Court a workman does not
assume the risk of injury because he uses
a piece of machinery which he knows to be
dangerous.
