In wreck on the Seaboard Air Line
at Catawba Junction, S. G. Passen-
ger train No. IL, from Portsmouth to
Atlantic, five cars and sleeper, went
through a high trestle over a small
stream. An extra freight train fol-

the slain. The Japanese shell fire
continued until Sept 4, when the
bridges over the Taitse were de.
stroyed. The Russians admit that
their positions at Liaoyang were too
extended for their army to hold.
The greater portion of the Russian
forces crossed the Taitse during the
night Of Sept. 2 and engaged General
Kuroki with two corps. The fighting
on the first day was favorable to the
Russians, but the conditions changed
at night time. The Russian infantry
suffered heavily from shrapnel and
rifle fire.
The fighting was continued Sept.
and 4, the Russians successfully pro-
tecting the east side of the. railroad.
When the Japanese approached Yen
tai they Immediately commenced to
attack it. The Russian transport be-
gan to retreat at midnight Sept. 4 and
was attacked three miles from Yentai
on the morning of Sept. along the
Mukden road. The Russians pushed
out two corps and much artillery to
protect their right flank.
The condition of the roads rem
dered the retreat slow and the troops
and horses were tired out. The Jap
anese seemed to lack enterprise and
failed to recognize the serious situa-
ton OF the Russians, the morale of
their troops having been severely
tried.
A Japanese army of 10000 men is
reported to be west OF. Mukden and it

having accompanied the army the
whole time since the battle of Lao

confirms the reports that the fighting

battles OF the American Civil war.

WAR SITUATION SUMMARIZED.

Dispatches from various sources es-
tablish only the fact that the Russian
army is safely at Mukden, Kuropatkin
having accomplished his retreat in
good order in spite of the harrassing
Japanese, sodden roads and hampered
by more than 1000 wounded. Beyond
this there is no direct news bearing
on the military situation.
Advices from Japanese sources are
Significantly lacking and the exact
whereabouts of the three Japanese
armies are unknown. No word has
been received to indicate the present
location of KurOki's army, which was
last reported east of the Russian left
flank and steadily pushing northward,
but Viceroy Alexieff reports that rail
way and telegraphic communication
between Mullden and .Harbin are un-
interrupted.
European military opinion is that
another big battle will be fought.

NURSE BITTEN BY PATIENT.
Insanity May Be Communicated Like
Hydrophobia.


New York, Sept. 10.-Apparent proof
that insanity may be communicated
like hydrophobia is shown in case
which is attracting much attention at
Bellevue hospital. The subject is Mel
lie Halpin, trained nurse, who was
bitten on the hand by an insane pa
tient lie the Kings county sanitarium
nearly year ago.
Since then the wound frequently
has given Miss Halpin great pain and
never completely healed. About two
months ago she began to show periods
of mental disturbance. These grew
longer and finally her friends had the
young woman removed from her home
to the hospital. She now suffers Sc
we're convulsions, resembling the mani
festations of rabies, while the mental
delusions are almost continuous.

END OF
THE STRIKE
President DOnnelly Acknowledges
Defeat in the Packing.
House Trouble.
Struggle Began Two Months Ago
And Over so, 900 Persons
We're Involved.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The great meat
strike which has been on for the past
two months has been officially declared
off by President Michael J. Donnelly.
The terms under which the men are
to return to work are the same which
were offered by J. Ogden Armour last
Saturday and which the strikers re-
jected by a referendum vote.
They are, in substance, that the old
employees shall be reinstated as fast
as possible, being given preference
when vacancies occur; that the wages
OF skilled butcher WOrkmen will re-
main the same as before the strike
and that there will be no diScrimina-
tiOn against any man because of his
connection with labor organization.
Donnelly called the strike off to save
his union from disruption. The SYM
pathiZing unions decided to follow his
lead.
The packers announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but it was said at
the same time that many of them
would be unable to secure their old
places, as in many cases the work was
being performed in a satisfactory man
ner by meu who had been secured
since the commencement OF the strike.
Vice President Smith Of the Meat
Cutters and Butchers union said the
vote OF the conference board OF the
allied trades council to bring the trOu-
bic to an end was unanimous.
pnc fnJn f,t,H HI
the decision to all the cities where the
Worknen have been on strike.
Fail to Secure Old Positions.
Over 600 live stock handlers ap-
peared at the Office Of Manager Skin
ner OF the Union Stock Yards and
Transit company early in the day to
apply for their old positions. He had
previously announced that he would
employ all the old men needed. None
OF the stock handlers were taken back,
being informed that they would be
sent for when needed. 1t is under
stood that before going to work they
will be required to sign an agreement
setting forth that they return as in
dividualS and not as an organization.
Business Agent Golden Of the team
sters said that the teamsters will go
back to work as an organization or not
at all.
During the strike approximately
$1,000 persons have been involved in
the struggle, which is estimated to
have cost the men about $5,10O,OO0 i'll
wages, as against an estimated loss
OF S7,50O,O0O to the packers in the loss
OF business and in increased expenses.
The greatest number OF men idle in
Chicago during the strike was $4,000
and the total in the country outside
of this city is estimated to be about
the same.
The original cause of the strike was
a demand by the Butchers union that
the packers pay to the unskilled work
men 1872 cents an hour. The packers
refused to sign an agreement, but Of
fered to arbitrate the question.
