by sinking nine merchantmen at the
entrance, which is now absolutely

The japanese feet, in effecting the
blocking steamed into the harbor at
full speed.
Naval officers who had made pre-
vious attempts begged permission to
carry out the next attack in daylight,
that being easier, and their request
was granted.
So determined were the naval chiefs
to succeed this time that they decided

Contest Strenuous in This
County.
CANDIDATES NUMEROUS
Hon. E. L. Waterman Of BrattIe.
bOrO Seems to Be fhe Strongest
Man Here.

The contest over Governor McCul-
lough's appointment of a supreme
court judge to succeed Hon Wendell
P. Stafford of st Johnsbury, is getting
lively enough 70 be interesting.
The candidates for the place are F.
NJ. Butler of Rutland, w. w. Miles of
Barton, Harry Blodgett of st Johns
bury, E. L. Waterman of Brattleboro
and George NJ. Powers of Morrisville.
The effort to secure support in this
county is particularly active from the
fact that the governor lives here.
Hon John Young of Newport is here
today in the interest of Harry Blod-
gett; Thomas c. Cheney of MorrisyilleS
was in town yesterday in behalf of Mr.
Powers. who is his law partner; J.K.
Batchelder is circulating petition
here for Mr. Waterman: undoubtedly
both Mr. Butler and Mr. Miles also ex-
pect friends here.
The paper circulated by Mr. Batch
elder has been quite generally signed
by the lawyers of this county, and as
he Is well known here, he probably
has more friends in this county than
any of the other candidates.
Judge Statford's resignation will
not go to the governor until after the
May term of supreme court, and there
fore the appointment will not be made
for several weeks.

After a hearing that occupied two
days before Justice Herrick in Troy,
he last night handed down decision
sustaining the will OF the late Judge
Henry T. Mason who died in that city
few months ago.

about $4,000 and among the benefic-

bard of Bennington Centr>, who was
left legacy of s25, 900.

entrance, while there is a noticeable
evasion and half heartedness in the
Russian denials Of the enemy's repulse.
There Is no confirmation here of the
rumor that an engagement between
Russian and japanese squadrons had
taken place Off VladivOstok, and St.
Petersburg knows nothing of the ru-
mored capture Of Newchwang. 1t is
reported that the Japanese have ad-
vanced to within eighteen miles of
Fengwangcheng and that another en-
gagement is expected almost immedi-
ately.
Major General Kashtalinskis insis-
tence on the fact that he was ordered
to accept battle by Lieutenant General
Zassaliteh is interpreted as showing
his intention to throw the responsible
ity upon that officer.
English correspondents with the Jap
anese forces on the Yalu are permitted
to send the most ample descriptions of
the people and the country traversed,
but not word about the fighting.
The report also says that in addition
to twenty-eight rapid fire guns the
japanese captured in Sundays battle

After the battle the Japanese buried

the application for new trials by Ru-

Kincaid, this being her former home,
The last previous years of her life had
been spent with her daughter, Mrs
Marcus Whipple of North Pownal.
In the autumn she went to North Gran
vile to spend the winter with her son.
She passed her 9Sth birthday on
March 1lth. Mrs Kincaid was born in
White Creek, being married there to
j. II. Kincaid II years ago, soon after
taking up their residence in Hartford,
n. Y, where they bothidentifed them
selves with the old Baptist church of
that town.
To them were given five children,

one daughter survive, j. H. Kincaid,
of North Granville, G. H. Kincaid of
Hoosick Falls, F. lone Whipple of
North Pownal and Milo w. Kincaid
deceased, Fair Haven.
She was a remarkable woman
through her long and eventful life for
vitality and industry. She retained
her memory up to the last days and
was interested in books and political
matter and greatly in the young that
were about her.
She represented ) generations hav-
ing Is great grandchildren. She was
one of family of Is children that

The pastor dwelt upon the rounded

changes she hau witnessed in the
progress and discovery of science

1t was thought by most of her fam

The fairest boon His love can send.

And stand within and all Gods workings see.
We could interpret all this doubt and strife
And for each mystery would a key find.
But not today then be content sad heart

We must not tear the close shut leaves apart,

And If through patient toll we reach the land,
Where weary feet with sandals loose may |

Then shall we know and clearly understand,

to the surrounding hills.
Hardin reports say General Zassa-
litchs force is resting at Fengwang-
cheng. No renewal of the attack has
yet been made.
The Russians have taken up strong
position back of Fengwangcheng, on
a parallel with Mukden and Liaoyang,
where troops are concentrating, and
II is considered likely that a really
decisive engagement may be fought
there. TO force the pass beyond Feng
wangcheng directly is considered to be
impossible.
The manager Of the hospitals at Har-
bin has received already 500 wounded
and has received notice that consid-
erably more may be expected.
The Russian general staff has receiv
ed list of the officers killed. 1t shows
that the day was more disastrous than
at first reported. General Zassalitch,
who was in general command in the
battle, was seriously wounded. The
number Of prisoners taken by the Jap
anese is given as about 1000.
A St Petersburg dispatch says the
Russian losses at the battle of Kiulien-
cheng We're 1000 men and forty OFF,
GERS.
This is the official estimate OF Ma
jor General Kashtalinsky, who direct
ly commanded the division that suf-
fered the brunt of the attack and
whose report has been received by the
emperor. Many are inclined to place
the Russian losses even higher. Cen
eral Kashtalinsky mentions also that
more than 700 wounded had arrived at
Fengwangcheng.
