ST0ESSEL REPORTS
ATTACKS REPULSED

st. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-Gen. Stoes-
sci, in dispatch to the Emperor, dated
Nov. 2. says;
Il am happy to report to your majes-
ty that all the assaults from Oct. 25
to Nov. 2 are repulsed by our heroic
troops. The most desperate assault
occurred Oct. 80. but thanks to the
bayonets of the reserves and the brav-
cry of the volunteer sharpshooters the
enemy was repulsed at all points. The
Japanese did not return to the attack
the same day, and left great number
of dead uninterred upon the field.
"On Oct. 81, the enemy twice as
saulted, but each time was repulsed at
the point Of the bayonet and by hand
grenades. Several of our officers and
men were wounded.
THE spirit of the troops is excellent.
1t is difficult to establish any distinc-
ton as regards bravery. All are he
roes. Bombardment of the fortress
continues without intermission.
Gen. Stoessel praises the work of
the ambulance and hospital corps,
mentions a number of officers for dis
tinguished bravery and concludes:
''The Japanese losses were enormous.
I estimate them at 10000"

Norfolk, Va. Nov. 19.-While en-
route on a fiat car between Greenville
and Tarboro, N. c., early this morning
the ticket wagon of the Forepaugh &
Sells Bros. circus was entered and
robbed of $4,000.
The entrance to the wagon was ef-
fected by the use of the regular keys,
which had been stolen from the treas
urer of the circus. The robbery was
not discovered until after the entire
circus, which was travelling in three
sections over the Atlantic Coast Line,
had reached Tarboro. The ticket wag-
on was on the second section and ar
rived at Tarboro at l o'clock Saturday
morning. The first section reached
there half hour earlier and the third
at O'Clock in the morning.
1t was o'clock before the robbery
had been discovered, and from that
time until late tonight, when the last
report was received in Norfolk by tele-
phone, continuous search of the eff

Gus has been in progress. The police
are holding a man and woman, both

committed the robbery. 1t has been
impossible So far to secure the names
of these two people.
Theories of the Robbery.
Several theories are held by the po-
lice and circus people. One of these is
that the robbery was committed while
the train was in motion and that the
money was thrown off the train
Searching parties are at work along
the line between Tarboro and Green
vile in an effort to find any trace of
the money or of any person who
might have left the train with it. UP
to this time no one has been missed
from the circus crowd.
Another theory is that the cash has
been hidden in Tarboro by the rob-
bers, and innumerable search warrants
have been sworn out. Armed with
these the regular police and specia,
| detectives are searching every place
| in Tarboro thought likely to conceal
| the money
There were a score of arrests made
| during the day among the circus peo-
| pie. All apprehended were taken into
| custody on suspicion and while in the
town lookup their belongings were
searched at the show grounds. Abso-
lutely no trace of the money has been
found.

SAVANNAH AND CHATHAM
WILL BE BENEFIC CIARIES.
Controller General and Attorney
General Confident of This.

Atlanta, Nov. 19.--Both the Con-
troller General and the Attorney Gem
eral controvert the idea advanced in
the Morning News by one of Chatham
county's officials with regard to coun-
ty taxes on the Western of Alabama
stock held by the Central Of Georgia,
should that stock finally be taxed in
the same manner as that of the Geor-
gia Railroad and Banking Company
under the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court.
+ II the state succeeds In bringing into
it's tax net the stock held by the Cen
trail of Georgia it will be taxable only
by the state. Savannah and Chatham
county. It will not be distributed
among all the counties OF the system,
as was stated in an interview by the
Savannah official Hence Savannah
and Chatham county will each get a
good lump sum in taxes whenever the
Central has TO pay up.
This principle was decided in Eighty
ninth Georgia. in the case of Wright
against the Columbus Southern, In
which the constitutionality Of the
Glenn bill was attacked. 1t was there
held that such personal property as
has no fixed situs, ike rolling stock,
must be distributed among all the
counties through which the railroad
runs, but that personal property, which
has fixed situs, such as stocks, bonds.
office furniture and the like. is sub
ject to taxation only in the county in
which Il Is held Controller General
Wright states there is no doubt on this
point. He has never had any trouble
with the matter since the decision in
the Eighty-ninth Georgia was rendered.

He Died Edwards ShOt Davis, VINO
Was Then Killed by Eugene Ed
wards-Dispute About Cotton.
Daisy, Ga, Nov ia. j. Edwards
was shot and almost instantly killed
this afternoon by Charlie Davis,
negro.
Even before the life had passed
from his fathers body, however, Eu-
gene Edwards, son of A. J. Edwards,
had avenged his death. He sent bull
let's into the negro's body that laid
him low, snufing out his life just as
Mr.. Edwards passed away.
The Edwards place is about three
miles from here, and Mr.. Edwards was
one of the most substantial farmers
and best citizens Of Tattnall county.
He was paying off the hands that
had been employed upon the place.
one of these was Charlie Davis. Davis
had expressed some dissatisfaction
about cotton that he had picked, and
over which there was some disagree
ment between Mr.. Edwards and HIM
self. He had said that he was going
TO stop work on the Edwards place
and go elsewhere.
While the small crowd was gather
ed to receive pay, with Eugene Ed
wards and ]. r. Edwards, sons Of the
farmer, standing by, the discussion
between Edwards and Davis was re-
sumed. The latter, however, presently
turned away and apparently was
leaving. Suddenly, though, and with
out warning. he turned. and having
drawn a revolver, opened fire.
The first shot he fired struck Mr..
Edwards in the right side, passing
through the body ard lodging beneath
the skin on the left side. Mr. Edwards,
though fatally wounded, drew his own
revolver and fred IN return, his shot
striking the negro. Then Mr.. EDWARDS
sank to the ground.
His fight was at once taken up by
Eugene, who had quickly drawn his
revolver. He and the negro exchanged
shots, those Of Eugene Edwards taxi
ing effect. The negro fell to the
ground, with several wounds.
Davis and Mr.. Edwards died almost
simultaneously. His sons and others
about rushed 70 the side OF Mr.. Ed
wards, but he lived 10 draw but a
few dnicult breaths before life was
extinct
Mr.. Edwards leaves a widow and
seven or eight children. He had n
host OF friends In this vicinity, and
they were greatly stirred over the
killing Eugene Edwards rs Landed FOR
his bravery and quick work OF punish
ment. The sentiment is that Davis
met a deserved death, for he had OPEN
ed FIRE before Mr.. Edwards had made
any movement 10 draw a weapon.
