The fleet approached from the dl-

about thirty-fre miles southeast OF

the enemy formed in line OF battle
but did not approach to a closer

RUSSIAN LOSSES REPORTED.
St. Petersburg. March 6.-Othc-
ial dispatches received here con-
corning the bonbardment of Eladl-
vostok By japanese fleet this af-
ternoon. do not mention any Rus
sian losses. but private advlces say
that FIVE were killed. four sailors
and the wife Of an engineer. 1t is
apparent the Japanese were afraid
to risk exposing their ships to the
plunsing fire of the land batteries.
and it is considered probable here
that the attack was really for the
purpose of drawing the fire of the
Russian forts, compelling the Rus
slams to disclose the position and
calibre of their guns, and also for
the purpose of ascertaing whether
the Russian squadron is in port. If
this was the object OF the Japanese,
it is believed to have failed signally,
as the batteries did not fire shot,
and if the squadron is in port it
could not be seen from the Japanese
position in the bay of CSsurl on &C
count of the high land, which rises
from the coast on that side. OBJ

We have information which
is reliable and direct from
headquarters, to the effect that
the contract for grading, laying
rails, erecting the ploes and COM
pleting the electric street car line
from this city to Friendly has
been let and the company and
contractors will sign the contract
next Saturday, April the End.
The company has been delayed
on account of not being able to
get the right of way but recently
the farmers and company have
gotten together and most Of them
have given a right of way. This
has expedited matters very con-
siderablyand the company has
agreed to q contract for the work
and the formal contract will be
closed Saturday.
The company proposes to use a
80 pound rail and expect to equip
the road in first class style so that
the cars can easily make fifty
miles an hour.

CONTRACT
From SistersviIIe to Friendly to be
Signed Saturday

Work will begin on the grade
on or before the first day Of May.
This is the latest date but it the
weather is favorable we fully ex-
|pect men will be at work on the
grade by the middle of April.
This information is reliable and
there is no question whatever
about the road being built. 1t is
intended to have cars running to
Friendly as quickly as it will be
possible to build this much of the
road, but at the same time the
road will be built down the river.
On April the 18th the company
will hold a meeting for the pur-
pose of letting the contract to be-
gin work at Williamstown and
work up the river, but this is a
matter that has not yet been fully
settled but the road to Friendly
is a fixed fact and in a few days
actual work on the grade will be-
gin. This is certainly good news
to the people of Sistersville and
it's true.

OBITUARY

MIS- .EllZdDCH M. luIIle, was
born in Green Co. Pa, April q,
1S45, died April 25, 1904. being
SO years II, months and % days
old. When not quite two years old
she moved with her parents Isaac
and Elizabeth Davis, to Tyler Co.
West Va. She was united in mar
riage to Benonia Tuttle, in the
autumn of 1867, unto this union
six children were born five
daughters and one son, the hus-
band, son and one daughter have
already preceded her to the spir-
it hand. When quite young girl
she united herself with the Chris
tian church and lived a consistant
and faithful member to the end
although great sufferer and
nearly blind for several years,
she did not murmur but faithfully
awaited the welcome summons
home and passed to the great be-
yond rejoicing in the living faith.
She leaves four daughters, two
brothers and four sisters, with a
host Of loving friends to morn her
loss. Although her place is vac
ant here and we may not see thy
face no more, we do not mourn as
these who have no life but know
she has joined her loved ones on
the other side and will be waiting
for us when we to shall cross over
the river of death. She is resting
now in the promises of loving
Saviour, and our loss is her great
gain we think of her as one of the
redeemed who is beyond the trials
tolls and weary heartaches of
this life but is now far from pain
and sorrow in that home beyond
the tomb. Oh! grave, where is thy
victory? Oh! death, where is thy
sting?
Her suffering ended with the
day, yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long
night away, in statue like repose.
But when the sun in all its state
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through glory's
mourning gate,
And walked in Paradise.
There are three words that
sweetly blend,
That on the heart are craven;
A precious soothing value they
lend,
They re mother home and heav-
en-.
If from our side the first has
fed, and home be but name,
Lets strive the narrow path to
tread, that we the last may gain
