REWARD IS OFFERED
FOR W0MAN'S SLAYER

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 29.-The club
with which Mrs. Mary Warner was
struck was found by the police about
IT'S yards from the place where the
murder and outrage occurred.
The club was identified as the handle
Of cant-hook that had been used IL.
the handling Of Minis props in the
yard of the Pine Brook colliery, sit
uated a quarter of a mile from the
scene Of the murder. The handle was
broken Saturday and left lying near a
Bile Of props when the men quit work,
and was missing the next morning.
The colliery is situated between the
central part Of the city and the
suburb, where the outrage occurred.
The club is about four feet long and
tapers from a diameter of three inches
10 two inches. On the smaller end are
stains as II impaired from blood
smeared fingers. The route Of the as
sailant's retreat as indicated by the
finding Of the club is towards the di-
rection whence he supposedly came
that is towards the central city, which
gives rise to the theory that 1t was
not a resident OF the neighborhood who
committed the deed The police have
no clue as yet to the perpetrator o.
the atroeious crime, and are even at a
loss for any better theory than that it
was the work Of an insane man. A
man in his senses. they argue, would
not have attempted the deed at such a
comparatively early hour at place
where an outcry could be heard by pos
sibly a hundred people, either neigh
bors or pedestrians on the adjacent
| streets.
Mayor A. T. Connell has oeffred re-
ward OF $500 for the apprehension Of
the murderer It is said that the county
commissioners will also offer a re-
ward for the murderer's arrest

Princeton, N. j.. Nov 29.--Rev. d.
william M. Paxton. of Princeton uni
versity and Seminary, died at his home
after a two weeks illness. DR.. Paxton
was in his S1st year, and his death was

great interest in the contest. When he
returned the doctors were summoned
at once, and It was found that he was
suffering a stroke Of paralysis. lie
gradually improved until Friday and
hopes for his recovery were expressed,
but a relapse weakened him and re-
suited in his death.

trustee OF Princeton. Until 1902 he
was professor Of ecclesiastical, homi-
letical and pastoral theology at Prince
ton Seminary, and was also president
Of the faculty Of that institution

JAPS REPULSED
IN ASSAULT ON
PORT ARTHUR
Suffered Enormous Loss in
the Attack on Russian
Stronghold
GENERAL EUR0PATEIN REPORTS

St. Petersburg, Nov. 29-The war
Office has received information from
Dhefoo that the Japanese assault on
Port Arthur on Saturday was repulsed
with enormous loss.
General KurOpatkin reports that
there has been active skirmishing on
the left flank for three days. The opin-
ion is now expressed by the general
staff that the Japanese intend taking
the offensive, as they cannot afford to
wait until the Russians are further re-
inforced. 1t is held that the fighting
20 the eastward is doubtless with the
purpose of feeliSg out the Russian po-
sitions preparatory to an advance in
that direction; but as there are about
1000 Russian troops southwest Of Sint-
sintin, where the fighting occurred on
November 20, and probably twice as
many more in the mountains between
Bentsitputze and Sintsintln, any Japa-
nese move from this quarter would ell
tail serious fighting At the same time
correspondents at the front continue
to scout the idea of serious lighting
being imminent.
General sakharoff yesterday tele.
graphed as follows:
"The Japanese attack on Tsinkhet-
chen was checked by our artillery fire.
and the fighting ceased at 6 o'clock on
the evening of November o. At no
point did the enemy advance nearer
than within 600 PAGES of our positions.
In the midst Of the battle a binding
snow storm caused a suspension OF
hostilities, and when the weather had
cleared at o'clock in the afternoon a
turning movement against our right
faux ws observed"
