'The houses in old Port Arthur, as

was the most effective since the first

several Russian torpedo boat destroy

boldly steaming in under the batteries

NOT in IT
Court Orders Verdict in His
Favor.
CELEBRATED BEER CASE
Closing Business of the Deem
Der Term of County
Court.
CELEBRATED BEER CASE

The case Ruscher q Co of Troy VS.
John Fl. Sarery, John Nash and
others which was set for trial, was
called Saturday.
This case has attracted considerable
attention in this section. 1t was
originally brought against j. H. Saw
cry, and afterward at the instance Of
certain parties who claimed that they
had documents to prove their state
ments,. the name of deputy sheriff
Nash was included. The suit was
brought to recover $1,000 which it was
claimed that Savery owed for beer
So positive were people that Mr.
Nash, an officer Of the law had been
interested in the illegal business that
a petition was circulated 10 this sect
ion asking Sheriff Wilson to appoint
officer Kelly deputy in place ofNash.
This the sheriff declined TO do.
When the case was called for trial by a
jury, c. A. Maurer counsel for Rusch-
er q Co asked for a continuance on
the ground that he was not prepared
for a trial at this term. Counsel for
Savery, c. II, Mason and for Nash,
". r. Daley, objected to any such
proceedings as they were ready for
trial.
The court ordered n complete discon-
tiuuances in the case and that MIR
Nash recover the costs ne had been
put to by those who pushed the case.
In the court Saturday while giving
no divorce in the case Kendall VS. Ken
dali, Judge Watson gave decree
giving Mr. Kendall the custody of the
child and a share of the furniture. The
case Kelly VS. Culliton was decided in
favor of Kelly. Announcement was
made that the case Willoughby VS.
Chandler had been continued.
Judge Watson left for home in the
afternoon. The attorneys for Sar-
good and Doyle were busy drawing up
the bill of exceptions to go to the SUI
preme court.
This is drawn in such way that the
counsel has thirty days in which to
present it to the judge. This act as a
stay of proceedings. Assistant judges
Williams and Mattison remained and
kept the court open until today so as
to accept the bail if tendered.s -

afternoon.

the retirement Of the Novik and Bayan,
the only Russians engaged.
The closing action was the lombard
ment of the inner harbor, in which the
Russians suffered the loss of twenty
soldiers and two civilians killed and
three civilians injured. Colonel Yer
shinin, governor Of Port Arthur, was
slightly wounded. The Japanese used
three or four hundred Russian shells
which they found on the captured
transport Manchuria.
Only four Japanese cruisers were ac-
lively engaged The forts replied with
several shots whenever the japanese
left cover of Laothieshan prOmontory.
Besides the Retvizan the battlesLip
Peropavlovsk received slight damage
from a shot.
The action of Vice Admiral Makaroff
Of the armored cruiser Novik in TAX
ing a portion of the fleet out Of the
harbor on Friday morning appealed to
the patriotism and excited the admi-
ration Of the garrison.
1t is reported that japanese caval-
ry patrol engaged part of the Rus
sian scouts near Kasan, west of Anju.
The Russians numbered thirty.
Marquis Ito. accompanied by nu-
merous suit, has arrived at ChemulpO,
Korea, by special steamer the Hong
kong Maru. Marquis Ito had an audi
ence with the mikado before leaving
Tokyo and was given a letter for the
emperor Of Korea.
A cable dispatch from Peking says
reports received there state that the
whole Of Manchuria is in utter confu-
sion owing TO the Russians having
seized all food supplies and other com.
missariat necessities. The natives are
streaming south toward the ports and
are suffering great hardships. The late
military governor of Kirin has commit
ted suicide owing TO his inability 10
relieve the peoples distress or stop the
Russian depredations.
A dispatch from Moscow says Cen
eral Kuropatkn dined on board his
private car and left at O'Clock last
night for the far east amid popular
demonstrations. Great numbers of
clergymen with sacred banners were
at the railroad station TO see him off.

ladies and guests ofthe Fortnightly on
Saturday last. There was large at

the songs which revealed Mrs Barrett's s
power of voice and musical conception.
These were followed by an iuformsl

and How this culture should be de-
veloped, Mrs Barrett showed it's
power as restful and Inspiring in
huence in life. She also emphasized
the effect for the enlarging of thought
expression thro rythym in music. This
point she illustrated by singing sever
al songs Of ". II. Neidlinger in which
the meaning of the words were carried
out most admirably in the movement,
progression and shading of the music.
Other groups of songs were by Rein.

compartments which were beautiful Y
rendered by Mrs Varney. The audience

.NIore AmerIcan ,IeddIIne.n

ST. PETERSBURG March 14.-The
circulation here of an untrue report to
the effect that the Washington cabinet
had decided 10 support the protest of
the commander Of the United States
gunboat Helena, now at NewChwang,
against the action Of the Russian au-
thorities in sinking Chinese tunks IN
the channel of the Lao river and that
Washington would notify Russia that
the neutrality Of Newchwang must be
respected has created something OF a
furry. The NOvO Vremya makes this
the subject of an editorial article en-
titled More American Meddling," in
which IT is contended that, as New
chwang Is within Manchuria and is
only six miles distant from the rail
road TO Port Arthur, Russia has a per-
feet right to take defensive measures
there and that unless the United States
is seeking a cause of quarrel it would
not insist upon supporting the protest
Of the commander. Fortunately a de-
nial Of this story reached here in time
to head Off what might have proved a
fresh cause of irritation.
