Nan Patterson's Trial.

New York, Nov. 16.--Pale and nerv-
GUS, but seemingly confident of an ac-
quittal, Nan Patterson, known on the
stage as "Nan Randolph" came to her
trial today, charged with the murder of
Caesar" Young, bookmsker, in a
cab last June, on West Broadway. Miss
Patterson was defended by Abe Levy,
Henry Unger and Daniel O'Reilly,
while the States case was in the hands
of Assistant District Attorneys Rand
and Garyin. Miss Patterson, who was
seated by the side of her father, was
gowned in deep black, and she worea
black picture hat, from which waved
huge black ostrich feather. A heavy
veil screened her partly from the gaze
of the curious throng. When a tales
man was asked if he had any conscien.
tious scruple against capital punishment,
Miss Patterson was seen to tremble
yisibly.

Russian Captain Destroys His snip.
Chefoo- Nov. l6.-The Russian de-
.,rover vb;ch last night entered the
barbor Is the Eastoropny. She took
refpge in the harbor during storm.
Tansnese torpedo boats followed the Rus
alan vessel as far as the entrance to the
barbor and there took up their stand
awaiting the energence of the Russiaas.
This morning the commander OF the
Chinese cruiser Hal Cheng notified the
Russian commander that he must dis
arm. The latter appeared loath to &C.
cept the demand, hoping that he might
elude the japanese during the night
but on receipt of reply to telegram
to st. Petersburg, asking for nstruction.s,
he notified Prince Ching that ne would
agree to disarm.
An unconfrmed rumor was current
today that the destroyer had put into
Chefoo for the purpose of conveying a
message from General Stoessel, COM
handing at Port Arthur, to the Gar.
This message, it is said, was in the
nature of request for instructions as to
whether Port Arthur should be held any
longer or whether surrender, with the
best terms possible, should be arranged
for with tie japanese. The commander
of the destroyer, whose name is Plem,
in an interview today said that not only
the Lao Tishan forts but all the impor-
tant positions around Port Arthur are
controlled by the Russians. The Jap
anese, he said, made no recent gains.
The commander asserts that there Is SUI
ficient food, ammunition and coal at the
port to last year.
1t is reported here this evening that
the entire Russian feet at Port Arthur
escaped with the torpedo destroyer which
arrived last night. There is no confrma-
ton OF the report.
The newspaper Novi Krai, published
in Port Arthur, says that while Japan
csc destroyer was laying mines near the
entrance to the port on November llth
she was fred upon ndsunk by the Rus
sian cruiser Retyizan.
Captain Pen says be left Port Arthur
at midnight in a binding snow storm.
He showed no lights. He passed a
japanese cruiser and torpedo boats but
his vessel was not observed by them.
The voyage WAS without event. The
captain refused to give the object of his
coming. He denies the report that he
carried message to the Gar from Gen.
eral Stoessel. The garrison ut Port Ar
thur, he asserts, is confident. Everybody
is in good spirits. Captain Plen brings
news that NJ. Sarasoff, former Governor
of Dalny and lately the principal engi.
neer at Port Arthur, has died of enteric
fever. The commander of the destroyer
confirms the report current several weeks
ago that General Stoessel has been
wounded.
London, Nov. 16.-A dispatch from
Chefoo this afternoon reported that Capt.
Plen, of the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Eastoropny had blown up
his vessel to prevent the Japanese
from entering the harbor and seizing her.
The blowing up of the vessel was volun-
tary. Capt. Plen saw he could not put
10 sea in the storm, and did not like the
idea of voluntarily uisarming bis ship.
He accordingly took this drastic means
of putting her out Of commission. The
explosion occurred at $50 tonight

INA LETTER just made public Presl-
dent Roosevelt lays the law down to
Senators and Representatives regarding
the appointments of postmasters' he
insists with emphasis that he alone, ana
not members of Congress, has the power
of selecting the persons who shall pre-
side over the mail business throughout
the country, and what Is more
that he intends living up to his
prerogative to the very letter. The
Presidents emphatic declarations on
the subject are not calculated to please
the Senators of his own party, whose
jealousy of their own rights and the
sacredness OF custom is well known. Nor
are they inclined to eDgender any too
afiectionate feelings upon the part OF the
House members toward the Chief Execu-
tive. The President comedies to the
Senators and Representatives the priv
lege of Suggesting" names of men whom
they would like to see receive postofiice
Jobs. The matter of selection" how
ever the President firmly insists belongs
entirely to him, custom or NJ custom.

Launched on the sea OF matrimOny
with quotation from the ritual for the
dead, was the unhappy,pcsition in which
DIR. T. Snively Dunning, of Columbia,
Pa, and Miss Elizabeth Christina
Nittinger, of Philadelphia, we're placed
last week at their fashionable wedding
in Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
Philadelphia. Uptown society is still
wagging its tongue over the affair.
Bishop Rudolph Dubbs, of the United
Evangelical Church, of Harrisburg, was
ihe offending clergyman. He was-read-
ing from the Methodist ritual, with
which he was unfamiliar, and accident
ally turned two pages instead OF one,
He had read Two sentences of the burial
ritual before he saw his mistake.
Both bride and bridegroom are well
known in uptown society. DIR. Dunn
ing is a son of DR.. Thomas S. Dunning,
of 1928 north Fifteenth street, and Mrs.
Dunning is the daughter Of Samuel Nit
finger, a noted organist and manufac-
turer of pianos.
Fifteen hundred invitations were is
sued for the wedding, which took place
at 8 O'Clock in the evening, and the
church was crowded.
Bishop Dubbs, an old friend of the
Nittinger family, officiated. He was as
sisted by the Rev. DR.. Frank p. Parkin,
pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, of which Mrs. Dunning was a
member; the Rev. DIR. Robert G. De
Bow, st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
Church the Rev. S. G.. Neil, of the
Second Baptist Church, and the Rev.
Dr. Madison G. Peters, of the Broad
Street Baptist Church.
A pin could be heard drop in the
church as the bishop read and the bride
repeated after him;
II, Elizabeth, take thee, Thomas, to
be my welded husband, to have and to
hold from this day forward for better for
worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness
and in health, to love and TO cherish till
death US do part, according to Coils holy
ordinance; and thereto | plight my
faith"
Bishop Dubbs had reached the bottom
of page In the regular ritual prayer
follows this plight of faith, but to the
CONSERVATION and painful surprise of all
the bishop continued:
1--WE brought nothing into this world
and it is certain we can carry nothing
out. The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away. Blessed-"
% DR.. Peters and DR.. Parkin were clutch.
ing at the bishops sleeve. He paused
awkwardly and began to nervously turn
the pages OF the discipline. In his ex-
element he turned too far back and was
all at sea.
The face Of the bride was blanched
the groom's was a study. A murmur OF
excitement rose among the throng of
guests and everybody looked pncOmfort-
able.
The organist thinking the pause his
cue, started to play the wedding march,
but his hand was stayed by the round,
clear tones of DR.. Peters, the first OF the
clergymen to recover composure. He
read the prayer following the pligh. of
faith: 20, Eternal God, Creator and
Preserver of all mankind, giver of all
spiritual grace, etc."
