TUESDAYS BATTLE.

Lao Yang. Sept. 1.-The Russians
made repeated bayonet advances in the
road directly south of Lao Yang Tues
day, where the Japanese approached
from Sanquashin and Tao, shelling the
positions in the Russian lines until 1
o'clock in the afternoon, when the en-
gagement, which was general through
out the south and southeast narrowed
to the main line.
The Japanese stubbornly attempted
to occupy round-topped hill which was
literally shaved by the Russian shells,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently II was impossible
for anything to live. The cannonading
continued from this point TO the vicini-
ty of Wangpaotai until this evening
without apparent advantage to either
side.
The varied casualties here include one
Russian war correspondent wounded
and also 25 Chinese women from Chiao-
fontun, whom Di, Westwater, the dis.

TOO MUCH WHISKEY
CAUSED JIM WAGNER TO BE
ADJUDGED INSANE.

Jim Msgner, the blacksmith, was
this morning tried before County
Judge r. T. Lightfoot and sdjudged
insane by jury.
Wagner had been drinking great
deal Of late and when he drinks gets
crazy. He has been in such nervous
condition Of late that his ply sicians
think he is mentally unbalanced.
Magner treated the matter with
much amusement. He laughed at the
jsil this morning and said it was the
first instance he ever observed where
a man was sent to the asylum for
lunacy for simply getting drunk. He
says he will be out again shortly.
Magner seems rational and will prob
ably be refused at the asylum.

MORE DELAY
GATES NOT PUT TO
WORK TODAY.

Contrary to expectations the auto
matte railroad gates being installed
here were not put into operation to-
day.
The delay in putting the gates into
operation is because the piping ran
out and the gates could not be con-
nected up and also the gate houses
have not yet arrived from Central
City. where they are being built.
The houses are under the super
vision of Supervisor W. O. wsggener
whose headquarters are at Central
City and when finished will be loaded
onto box cars and brought here. From
present indications 1T will be more
than q week even if the houses arrive
today, before the gates are ready for
service.

81 Petersburg. sept. Some inter
esting details Of Tuesday, battle are
furnished by Russian correspondents,
from which it appears that two regi-
ments Of japanese at daybreak attempt
ed 10 capture the batteries OF the Sixth
Artillery Brigade. located ON the eX-
IRENE left flank Of the Russian army
The attempt was only discovered in the
nick Of time.
Some OF the Russian troops fought
continuously Tor thirty.siN hou-.
The conclusion and the roar Of the
guns shook the windows at Lao Yang,
though the artillery was six to eight
miles away.
Nemiroyieh Danchenke. the famous
Russian war correspondent. describing
the battle. says;
The enemy. drunk with their former
success. attacked from three sides, like
madmen When they were hurled back
fresh troops. Of which they seemed to
have an ineShaustible supply. were sent
forward"
NJ Danchenke says the combatants
had about 600 guns on each side, and
adds:
1T was our first victory. The enemy
was beaten back everywhere. many Of

Manager Ray Expects to Land
the Rag Now.
Cairo Must Lose and Paducsh Must
Win In Order To Turn
the Trick.
HOW 1T IS FIGURED OUT

The average person can get no idea of
the interest taken in Paducah just now
in baseball unless he mixes around
awhile and hears the national game
discussed. There is not section of
the city in which it is not the sole topic
of discussion of many people Hun
dreds of people who are "cranks" never
90 to see a game except on Sunday, he
cause they don't have time during the
week, but they keep up with the games
and know the name of every player in
the X. |. I. league.
The question of whether or not Pa
ducah has any chance to win the pen
nant is a mooted one. ii Cairo loses
enough and Paducah wins enough
games, Paducah can Win. Many do not
believe that Cairo will lose enough to
give the pennant, even if Paducah takes
five out of six with Cairo, for many do
not believe that there is much prospect
of any club in the league defeating Cal
70 enough to throw Padueah at the
head of the list.
The whole thing. therefore, depends
on how many games Cairo loses after
she leaves Paducah, and how many Pa
ducah wins. Even should Paducah win
every game after Cairo leaves, it is Just
as necessary for Cairo to lose, as if
Cairo wins and Paducah wins, they
will continue to remain as far apart
as ever from each other, although their
percentage would increase.
Manager John Ray. of the Paducah
club, however, thinks Paducah will win.
and here is how he figures it out; "Wd
are now six games behind Cairo. If we
take today's and Fridays games, this
will leave Cairo with four games to the
good. Three remain to be played after
this series of II games by Cairo and Pa
dueah. Cairo goes to GAINESVILLE, Hop.
kinsville, Henderson and then Vim
cennes. GAINESVILLE and Vincennes are
stumbling blocks to Cairo and with her
staff of pitchers in the present deplora-
BILE condition, we expect to see her de-
leated on her trip seven or eight games.
GAINESVILLE will get two, we figure, and
Nincennes 2, while we think Henderson
and Hopkinsville will be able to take
an even break in the six games.
Paducah goes to Henderson, Vim
cennes, Hopkinsville and lastly Clarks-
vile. We pitch Bonno every other day
and with Goodwin and Brahic will put
our staff of twirlers against any one.
We use out weaker pitchers in the wea>
team games, and lay our star men out
for the heavy hitting teams. We in
tend to take nine games on our trip and
il we can't overcome the lead of Cairo,
we will be willing to assign the rag over
to the Parasites"
Last year Cairo and Clarksville were
battling for first place with just game
or two between them. Henderson beat
Cairo two out of three and Paducah
beat GAINESVILLE. Had Clarksville beat
en- Paducah she would have taken the
rag II is a remarkable coincidence that
Clarksville this year breaks it last with
the Indians, and if she heats Paducah
like Paducah did her last year she may
keep the rag from Wallace park

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MET

The board of public works met yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock and trans
acted much business, passing on several
matters of much Importance TO the pub
lie
Possibly thu most important matter
considered was that of enlarging the
city electric plant. This was consider
ed last February. but on account of lack
Of funds, was dropped. The city cleo
trician reported that the present equip
ment wvu,d not permit OF an increase
Of lights. and as the city is rapidly
growing and the need Of more lights is
already keenly felt, the board realizes
that something must be done next year.
Mr.. Saunders Fowler, a member of
the board. was instructed to personally
confer with ST. Louis electrical engin-
GERS and ascertain the exact expense
which may be incurred in increasing the
facilities and TO get ideas on what
kinds of improvements should be made
and estimates ON them. At present the
board has several communications from
st. Louis engineers who want to bid on
the work but a correspondence was not
thought to be adequate and a local rep
resentative for personal conference was
decided on. Mr.. Fowler viii leave this
week and get all possible data.
The board further decided TO call for
bids for keeping clean the brick streets,
and those to be built hereafter. At
present the city cleans the streets,
sometimes using the changing laborers.
but using regular street department
employees mostly. This is expensive,
and the board will call for bids and see
if the work can be done cheaper. If
this is possible the board will contract
tor street cleaning by the year.
Another important matter acted on
was in regard to the Cumberland Tele-
phone Co. placing wires underground.
The manager of the local station and
the engineer of construction of the com
pany, of Nashville, appeared before the
board with plat of the conduits to be
put down on the streets to be improved.
and asked the board to allow them to
place one distributing pole to each
block. The plat did not show where
the poles were to be placed and the
board referred the matter to City En-
gIneer Washington, who will meet with
the telephone engineer and, decide on
the location of each pole The board
readily agreed to let the company put
up one distributing pole
The ordinance passed by the council
and board of aldermen regarding the
market house improvements, were gone
over and the regular accounts against
the city with the running expenses. etc.
were checked over. All accounts were
not in and the board deferred them UNI
til Tuesday night when the board will
meet in special session to receive mar
ket house bids and pass on all bills
which will by chat time be in.
The board adjourned shortly before 6
o'clock and did not meet last night. the
regular time, because of appointments
members of the board had to fiji which
prevented meeting at the regular time.
