az once dislodgcd the chain Of fortresses
will be preached and the position of
Port Arthur rendered critical. The re-
port. however, is considered as requir
ing conformation.
The simple fact that the day TO which
large portiin of the public looked for
ward with superstitious dread passed
without the fall OF the fortress, sudden
~ encouraged the popular hope that the
christening of the Czarevitch will mark a
turn in the tide.
Reports that Gen. Kuropatkin is
about to make an important move con
cinuc to be circulated, but the character
of the move is not limited at.
Since his retirement from Simouchine
and the Yangst Pass, it is estimated
that more than $4,000 reinforcements
have reached Gen. Kuropatkin.
Nothing has been received from Rus
sian sources confirming the report that
the battleship Seyastopol struck a mine
outside Port Arthur.

killed in sight of the crew on the Cairo

day afternoon about 2:40 o'clock, but
the accident happened so quick that no
one was able to render assistance or
warn the man of his danger.
Fondaw was working by the track
and heard the l. c. train pull up at the
turnover The NJ. & o. fast passenger
was coming along about 40 miles an
hour and the noise of the l. c. train
probably caused the section man not
TO hear the approaching NJ. q o. train,
to which he had his back turned.
The pilot struck the man full in the
side knocking him across the turnover
against a switch post, Draining him and
breaking nearly every bone in the body.
Members of both crews went to his as

dead when reached.
The coroner of Ballard county was
summoned and the inquest resulted in
accidental death. The remains will be
taken to Bardwel for burial if the

THE PLANS WERE
ADOPTED BY BOARD

Contractor Robertson to Begin Work

May Be Established Here.
WAREHOUSE FOR MARKE1

The Board of Public Works met last
night and adopted plans for the new
market house, and will this afternoon
advertise for bids for the structure. No
material changes were made in the plans
as submitted at the previous meeting.
The matter of cold storage in the
building has not been decided, and mel
ther has the question of material for the
tops Of butchers stalls, or some other
minor matters that may be settled later
on, and which have no direct bearing
on the building proper
Contractor Charles Robertson, TO
whom was awarded the contract for the
storm water sewerage on Broadway
from Fifth to Ninth, is now in st. Louis
buying his pipe, and will begin work
Monday.
The board last night received com
munication from the Warren q Warren
Co., OF New York, manufacturers of the
bitulithic compound, stating that in
event enough work was contracted for,
the company would put up plant here
for the manufacture of bitulithic com
pound, which would be a good thing for
Paducah.
The improvements to be made on the
streets will be either brick paving or
the bitulithic compound, and il the lat
ter is most favorable will mean the es-
tablishment of big plant here, which
will remain permanently. If not
enough work is secured to justify such
a plant, the compound will be made else
where, probably Nashville, and shipped
here The communication was filed.
The board ordered an ordinance drawn
up at once providing for either paving
with brick or bitulithic compound, Sec
ond, or South Market street, so that tn,
municipal board can act on it right away
and get this improvement, which is nee
essary, before the market house can be
built.
The board also ordered the street roll
Ter TO work on Washington street.
One of the most important actions
taken was the rental of the Western
District warehouse at jefferson and Sec
ond streets, for temporary market
house. The building will be rented as
soon as the contract for the building of
the market house is let, signed and the
contractor ready to go to work. II is
expected the market house will be finish
ed within three months time.
The board decided TO ask residents of
the West End to bring in petition for
paving streets and curbings, when they
are built, the bad drainage will be
remedied.
City Engineer Washington was is
structed TO make plans and specifications
for the improvement OF Market street
at once. The grade will have TO be low.

Paris, August 25.-There is reason
TO believe that decision 10 about TO
take effect providing for the volun-
tary disarmament Of the cruiser Ask
old and torpedo boat destroyer Groz-
ovoi now at Shanghai and the Rus
sian cruiser Diana at Saigon.
Advioes received here from Saigon
show. contrary to prervious announce
ments, that the Diana is in a very bad
condition. She has one large hole in
her hull below the water line. Her
injuries will take weeks TO repair.
This would have permitted an extern
sion OF her sojourn in a neutral port
beyond the twenty -four hours which
expired yesterday, but il is foreseeD
that the repairs would entail such a
stay at Saigon that IL is possible that
questions affecting the neutrality Of
the port would b. likely to arise and,
therefore, Russia is disposed to disarm
the Diana, which thereafter will re-
main at Saigon during the war.
The final determination in the mat
ter has not yet been taken, but the
tendencies are strongly as indicated.
