noon, but as the express did not stop
at Cheswold, he proceeded to Clay
ton, where he awaited the arrival of
the $50 train from Dover. No sooner
had he entered the train than he rec

the question at any length, but or

This he refused, and when the officer
reached for his handouts, Douglass
snatched his hand away. He was
quickly overpowered, however, and
the nippers placed on him. Officer
Williams then brought him to Dover

While Purnal ]. Lynch, prominent
farmer of st. Georges hundred, was
driving across the Delaware railroad
tracks at Mt. Pleasant crossing Thurs
day morning his horse and carriage
were struck by the southbound passen-
ger train that leaves French street
station, Wilmington, at S.25 o'clock.
The horse was horribly mangled and
suffered so seriously that it had to be
shot. The carriage was demolished
and Mr.. Lynch was hurled several
yards by the force of the collision.
He was picked up by trainmen and
passengers and was carried into the
railroad station. DIR. George W.
Marshall, insurance commissioner,
happened to be a passenger on that
train, and made a hurried examination
Of Mr.. Lynch in the limited time at
his disposal. Mr.. Lynch complained
OF his hip, but the brief examination
failed to disclose that the hip had been
fractured. Later DIR. Pierson, of Mid
dletown, the family physician, attended
Mr.. Lynch, but so far as could be
learned no bones were broken. Mr..
Lynch was badly shaken and possibly
was hurt internally. He is we'll known
throughout New Castle county and
several times has been a Democratic
candidate for sheriff.

suspected now Of a desire to 'cut OUT

what is offered in support of that opinion is

Russian Tactics.

Again there Is reason to believe that the
| spirit of John Phoenix is at present do
| ing press duty at ST. Petersburg. Read the
| following cable under a Paris date line:
"a dispatch from st. Petersburg. after
announcing that General Kuropatkin will
evecuate Liao-yang and retire toward
MLkden II strategic exigencies render that
course desirable, goes on to say: 1t is con-
sidered by the general staff that the great
er the distance Kuropatkin places between
himself and the enemy, the greater the
difficulty which will confront the Japanese,
whose increased impedimenta will hamper
their movements. Each day that passes
without attack by the Japanese is so much
gained by the Russians
This is most persuasive. There is no
gainsaying a word Of II. Undoubtedly the
greater the distance that the Russian COM
mander puts between himself and the
Japanese the greater will be the difficulty
of the latter. The purpose of the Japanese,
mark you. is to get in touch with the Rus
| slams, and they are pushing on now with
| that object in view. If they fail to catch
| up they will be forced to send the discour-
| aging news home: Russian legs are long.
and Russian wind magnificent. 1t Is foot
race and not fight we are In for. Pre-
pare yourselves for the worst"
Equally forceful is the second statement.
| Each day that passes without attack by
| the Japanese Is so much gained by the
Russians" 1t is. For thus is saved the
| reputation of some aggressive Russian
| general, who has a way of fighting when
| instructed to retreat, or some timid gen.
| eral who retreats when he should fight.
| The Japanese attacks have far been
very disastrous to the Russians and it adj
mits Of small, If any, doubt that If they
| had not been made there would have been
] no Russian reverses. John Phoenix has
made this line of reasoning his own, and
he is Irresistible while pursuing it.
| Seriously speaking, what we are asked
| to believe Is that the Russians are tolling
| the Japanese on to such point or points In
| the interior of Manchuria as will enable
| them to fall upon the invaders In over
| whelmng numbers and crush them. 1t Is
| assumed that the head of the little yellow
| man will soon be turned by success. and
that he will fancy himself able to conquer
| creation. In this spirit he will follow the
| retreating foe in any and all directions TO
| any and all lengths, until he Is trapped,
| and the giant walks away with him slowed
| away in a vest pocket Let us not forget,
| however that the intelligence which has

IL told Edwards the situation at

in obtaining an interview with Sam

letter by messenger to Mrs. Gates to

ness she employed for her children

she gave the color of plausibility to
her representations. In the first
place, she went to Milwaukee for the
express purpose of engaging her, max
ing definite agreement with her to
accompany the family to Europe, even
defining what the governess' duties
would be and what pay she would re-
ceive. In September, when gossips
were busy with stories of fraud, and

express solicitude for her, Mrs. Gates
brought her here to Minneapolis. She
had, however, not paid her cent of
her salary, so far as my latest infor-

by her husband and undoubtedly some
well-educated, sharp confederate,
thousands of circumstances, together
with the woman's every act, gave a
color of plausibility to her story in
distinguishable from that of the
