A DAMAGE SUIT.
The Administrator of L. H. Parrott
Sues the A. c. L. r. R. for $4,000.

Suit has been filed against the At.
lantic Coast Line railroad for $15,00O
damages for the killing of L II Par
rott by the train at this place on the
evening of January 4, 1904. The
suit is based on the dangerous con-
struotion of the depot building, the
absence of lights on the platform
and other acts of negligence. The
administrator of Mr. Parrot has re-
tained LeRoy Lee. Esq. as his at
torney.
1t is not surprising that damage
suits are brought against the railroad
on account of the condition Of this
building. The platform is raised
above the ground and to board a
train it is necessary to step across
the intervening space to the platform
of the car. We are informed that
there is only one passenger depot in
the State constructed on this plan
besides the one here. Then, too, it
has been only a short while since
young man in town was painfully
hurt from stumbling over bulletin
board on the platform, which he
failed to see on account of the insult.
ficient lights.
A petition for new depot here is
now being considered by the railroad
authorities and it is hoped that in
the near future it will be acted upon
favorably.

Japs Make Another Attempt to Bot-:e
Up Port Arthur Harbor.
ST. Petersburg, March 28.-UndeT
cover of darkness Vice Admiral Togo
made another desperate attempt to
bottle up the Russian feet in Port
Arthur, but he failed again, and when,
after daylight, Vice Admiral Makaroff
steamed out to give battle, the Japan
csc commander refused the challenge
and sailed away. The Japanese prac-
tically repeated the tactics of Feb. "a
by sending four fire ships. preceded by
torpedo boat fotilla, with the excep-
ton that the fire ships this time were
armed with Hotchkiss guns for the
purpose of keeping off the Russian
torpedo boat destroyers. The enc
my's attempt was discovered by
means of the shore searchlights and a
heavy fire was opened from the bat
teries and from two gunboats which
were guarding the entrance to the
harbor. The Russian torpedo boat
destroyer SLIM was outside on scout
ing duty and to the dash and nerve of
her commander, Lieutenant krinizki.
is chiefly due the complete defeat of
the plans of the japanese. He at
once made straight for the on-coming
ships under hail of fire from the
Hotchkiss guns and torpedoed the
leading ship, which sheered of, fol
lowed by the others, three of them
being piled up on the shore under
Golden hill and one under the light
house. SLIM then engaged the entire
six torpedo boats OF the enemy, COM
ing out from terrific fight with seven
killed and her commander and twelve
Of her complement wounded, but on
the Japanese side only one boats
crew was saved. In addition, accord
ing to unofficial reports, it is believed
that the Japanese lost two torpedo
boats.
The Japanese cruisers, which sup
ported the attack exchanged shots
with the batteries and then drew of,
after which Vice Admiral Makaroff
took a steam launch and examined the
freships. An hour later the Japanese
torpedo fiotilla. followed by Vice Ad-
miral Togos fleet, came up from a
southerly direction. Just at daybreak
Vice Admiral Makaroff, with his fleet,
sailed out to engage the enemy, but
after the ships and batteries had fred
few long distance shots. Vice Admi-
raj Togo decided to decline the issue
and disappeared to the southwark.
