DEMOCRATS CAIN TITO TOWNS.
Salem Republican Town Committee
 Failed to Furnish Ballots.

The failure of the republican town committee in Salem to provide the vot- CTS Of that party with ballots for all
 the officers to be voted for, resulted, it has been found, in the selection of a democratic town government for the next year in spite of the fact that the republicans outnumber the democrats nearly 3 to 1. This change gives the democrats net gain of two towns in the state, their strength being 34 towns to 127 held by the republicans. Salem has no telephone communication and the returns brought out Monday night appear to have been based on the elec- tion of E. L. Lattimer, a republican, as
 first selectman, 76 to 22,H over Benjamin w. Jenkins, who had the democratic endorsement. MT Lattimer was elect ed on pastors after it had been discov- cred that ballots had been overlooked by the town committee. Otherwise the results first given are unchanged.

RUDELY AWAKENED.
Occupants of Sleeping Car Compelled to
 Go Into Another CoacI..


 Go Into Another Coach.
 Hartford, Oct. 4-Wealthy slun1berers in the Bar Harbor express due here at 11:05 p. m. were rudely disturbed to- night by the shrill voice of a porter an |nouncing that five minutes would be given them to get up, dress and take their baggage and themselves to a for ward car. There was a scramble in an instant and the passengers some of them but half clad took flight as soon as possible, not waiting to find out the reason for the abrupt break in their nights rest. It was discovered that the draw bar on the rear car of the train had fallen down in such 2 manner that the car was held fast, so it was left behind, and as there were plenty of va cant berths forward, all those in the rear sleeper found accommodation.

SUPREME COURT or rnRoRs
Convenes in Hnrtford-Case Against
 Savings Bank.

COnvenes in HurttOrd--Case Against
 Savings Bank.
 Hartford, Oct. 1.-The supreme court of errors began it's October sitting at the cai;itcl to-day, all five justices on the bench. All the cases marked for a hearing were ready, and five Litchfeld cases were presented One of these was that of Burton D. Moore against Lucy Giddings of Winsted. The next case heard was that of Mary A. Chase vs. the Waterbury Savings bank, the lat ter having appealed from an adverse decision and award in the lower court. Mrsr. Chase had deposit of $2.2G0 in the bank holding q deposit book. Her daughter got the book and by pre- senting fraudulent orders obtained pay .ment of certain sum of money.
 The bank in it's appeal sets forth that the court erred in not finding that the plaintiff was careless in the manner in which he kept his deposit book, in that she left it where others could get it. The plaintiff was awarded $9210 in the lower court, being reimbursed in full for. her account if the judgment had been satisfied.
 Arguments in the case were conplet- ed late this afternoon and the matter was taken under consideration by the judges. No other case was heard to- day.

 At dawn of October 1, a squadron of Japanese cavalry twice attempted to break through the lines of advance posts of Cossacks of the guard in the district between Khuankhandia and Fengtiapu Both attempts were unsuc- cessful. Two sotnias of our cavalry re- inforced the advanced posts and the Japanese dispersed.
 Towards noon the same day one battalion of the Japanese guard, with two or three suuadrons of cavalry, re- Inewed the offensive movement against a regiment of Cossacks. The firing lasted until nightfall General Mistchenko sent endorsements to the aid of the Cossacks and toward evening the ene- my was repulsed at all points, the whole line retreating towards Sialionkhetzy, pursued by our cavalry
 I Captain Tolstoukine, commander of a sotnia, ambushed one of the enemy's patrols at Konschutzy. One Japanese officer was killed.
 Tn the positions abandoned by the Japanese our Cossacks found a number of cartridges and medical stores, and also a few dead horses. We had two officers and two Cossacks wounded.
 The same day a Japanese force of one battalion and a half and a squad ron of cavalry attacked in three divi- sions our outpost between the Hun river and the railway. Towards even ing this movement was checked with the help of another company which re inforced the out post. One Cossack was killed and one wounded.
 "One Russian patrol dispersed two Japanese patrols in the vicinity of Tchantan, on the right bank of the Hun river, taking three Japanese pris- oners.
 Another Russian patrol sent in an easterly direction discovered Tawang- hau pass occupied by 200 Chinese ban #dits commanded by Japanese officers. During the reconnaissance one Cossack was killed.''

 Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the orig inator and sculptor of the colossal Liberty Enlightening the World" which is so conspicuous a feature of New York's inner harbor, was an Asa tian, native of Colmar, and was edu- cated at the Lycee of Louis-le- Grand.
 His last work was a design of his own tombstone.
 His American works, besides the Statue of Liberty, include the figures of Washington and Lafayette decorating the Place des Etats ,Unis here; the IBarthoIdi fountain in the botanical gar dens at Washington, and the bronze group of the Leisures of Peace in New York.
 The Temps, of which Bartholdi was
 one of the directors. says the death of
 Bartholdi and Gerome removes the greatest of modern sculptors, and re- lates how Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty was the apotheosis of Frances role since the Revolution, which led the
 French government to offer the statue to the sister republic as a pledge of fra ternal devotion to liberty.

 ther UncOnfirmed Rumors of the Fall
 of Port Arthur.
 st. Petersburg, Oct 5.-1:15 a. moi ficial advices from the Far East given out this evening describe a series of skirmishes on the south front of Gen. eral Kuropatkin's army, the only i'm portance of which lies in the fact that the Japanese are showing disposi- tion to press forward and feel out the Russian positions General Mistchen- kos Cossacks in every case drove back the opposing forces.
 The activity of the Japanese outposts lis doubtless intended to screen move ments of their armies, and therefore may be regarded as precursory symp- toms of final preparations for an ad- vance, which probably will begin with- ing week.
 A special messenger has brought to the emperor General Kuropatkin's full report of the battle of Liao Yang. The messenger who submitted to an inter- View. declares that the main army is concentrated at Tie pass, and that it is Tot likely General Kuropatkin will make a determined stand at Mukden.
 General Grippenberg, recently ap- pointed to the command of the second army, will be received by Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof in the morning.
 It is understood that the third divi- sion of the guards stationed at War saw, is under orders to go to the front. This, with the second division of the guards and the rifle brigade of the guards stationed in and around St. Petersburg, will make altogether about 10000 guards who have been ordered to the Far East.
 There were recurrent rumors tonight of the fall of Port Arthur, but they have not the slightest foundation.
