POLICE COURT DOINCS.
Anniable Di Rienxi Was Held Under
 Sl.5OO Rail

Anniable Di Rienzi, who was arrest. ed here yesterday after a pursuit that extended from Hoboken N l.. to san francisco, was in the city court this morning before Judge Peasley charged With being q fugitive from justice. He was defended by Attorneys Kennedy and Guilfoile. Prosecutor Durant wanted him held until Monday morn Ing. when an attorney from Hoboken would arrive with the necessary pa. pers to take him back to that place. where he has been indicted for grand larceny in taking cash and iewelry amounting to $1.375. but Attorney Kennedy insisted upon his being put to plea.
 MT Kennedy said that the iewelry said to have been stolen was taken by Mrs Dominica Marrotta, whose sis ter is the aecused's wife, and that she owned the jewelry and it is now in her possession. Marrotta and his wife have made up and are living together again. according to Mir Kennedy's statement, and that had Di Rienzi been wanted by the authorities they could easily have got him. because after his return from aan Francisco with Mrs Marrotta he stayed four days in Ho, boken
 Di Rienzi came to Waterbury after leaving Hoboken because he has n brother and sister living here. Spite on the part of Marrotta was the mo- @tiye for his arrest now. Of course it was an easy matter to have warrant issued for the mans arrest Anybody can have warrant issued. It is Mar rotta and not the authorities of Ho- boken who wants Di Rienzi, said Mir Kennedy.
 Prosecutor Durant replied that nj RienZi deserted Mrs AIarrotta i'll San Francisco when the 5000 they had stolen from the womans husband was all gone. Then they contrived in some manenr to get back to Hoboken. Di Rienzi's apprehension was brought about by his portrait. He was finally put to plea and after some evidence was given he was held in $1,500 bail.
 William Keane was charged with breach of the peace i'll making n dis turbance at his home. He was sem tenced to thirty days in jail and s and costs.
 James Maher was charged with theft of 200 pounds of hay from the barn of Peter Kelly. rear of PAT Bank street It seemed that complainant and accused were good friends and obliged each other financially on diff ferent occasions. Mir Kelly said Maher borrowed money from him and stole his best pair of shoes while they were driving to Prospect. Maher said it was the other way and that Mir Kelly promised him 200 pounds Of hay for q Christmas present on which he could raise money. So he took the hay and sold it for $1.20 to an Italian Mahey was given thirty days fin Jail.

To Become Town Ladies.

Tn Macedonia, girls usually marry N the ages of 13 or IA. and husband will pay E15 to G2o for a wife if she is q good reaper and expert at house work and spinning. When girls from the vil- lages marry townsmen no money is paid. the bride instead bringing her trousseau with her in exchange. as 1t were, for the privilege of becoming town lady," In the latter case, the bride most likely will be required to do little or no work in the fields, and that is the great ambi- tion of most girls there.

CAUSES OF MANY RUMoRs.
Communication with the Far East Slow and
Broken at Several Points

A study Of the reports which have reached
America and Europe from the East, including
press dispatches and communications through
official channels. would indicate that only two
actual conflicts OF any moment have far
occurred. These are the japanese naval attack
on Port Arthur Monday night and Tuesday
morning, and the affair at Chemulpo on Monday
and Tuesday. In circles whose knowledge Of
conditions in that part OF the world allows them
to speak with accuracy. the various reports Of
other engagements are considered echoes Of
these two fights.
News travels slowly I'm North China cable
and telegraph facilities are very limited. and il
is evident that reports OF the Port Arthur
and Chemulpo affairs reach various points they
sre promptly cabed by resident correspondents
resulting in a natural confusion OF dateg The

Toxic under date Of February TO- published in

also 70 have referred 20 the original Port Arthur
attack. news OF which had just reached Toxic
or the dispatch may have been delayed in trans
mission. This belief is strengthened by the fact
that no official confirmation has been received Of
subsequent engagements ara IL is pointed out
that such official sdvices were received through
the various embassies at Washington promptly
on the heels Of the press reports OF Monday and
Tuesday.
The food Of conflicting dispatches from vari-
Gus North China points during the Boxer revolu-
tion is recalled. For this reason the report sent
by the Tientsin correspondent OF The London
Standard" that Russian feet had bombarded
Hakodate is entirely disresarded Naval men

are those az Vladivostok and that il cannot for

even II they were free Of the ice, and not blocked
up by japanese squadron as has been re-
ported. In view OF the fact that there is no
cable communication between Japan and China
except by way Of Shanghai il is to say the
least improbable that such important news
would be FIRST heard in the inland town OF

CONSIDERING HAY NOTE.

Russian Fear of China Strong

not prepared at this time to give answer TO
the United States to Secretary Hays note on
the subject Of the neutrality OF China. As pre-
viously stated in these dispatches. hostilities
having begun. the military authorities must be

II is thought here that the action Of the Jap

their victories is part of well laid campaign
projected from the beginning TO break down
Russa's prestige in China. for the purpose OF
ultimately effecting the union Of the two races.
