Was Seriously Shot.

W1LL1sToN, November 5.-Last night
while coming from Blackville, Mr.. Joe
Bond was accidentally shot by Mr..
Boylston. Both parties live few miles

the kidneys are affected. Mr.. Bond was
brought here to-day to be carried to Au.

touches on her memoirs, which will be

has been compelled to cut out great

have made over two large books.

the raiders had been sighted off Izu
province, 20 miles southwest of Toxic,
steaming due south, pursued by four
Japanese warships. The later and APP
parently more credible reports was to
the effect that the Muscovite cruisers
had passed through the Tsugaru straits
on their way home TO Vladivostok. If
this story be true the Russians have

other raid, harmless to themselves

TEST OF NAVAL EFFICIENCY.
Foreign Nations Taking Great Paint
to Improve Sea Gunnery.

Foreign Nations Taking Great Paint
to Improve Sea Gunnery.
The true test of efficiency of our
warships does not lie in speed, coal
endurance or vexing formulate accord
ing to a writer in Worlds Work, but
depends almost entirely upon the ra-
pidity and accuracy of gun fire. Gun
merry, gunnery, gunnery," says the first
Sea Lord, lis of extreme Importance"
and the leading navies of the world
are to-day making such efforts to inn
prove their shooting that it is not too
much to assert that the greatest prog
ress In naval development in the last
year has been in gun practi ,.
the impetus was given Oy lie first
published reports of the battles of
Manila and Santiago, when the impress
sion spread abroad that the Americans
possessed the secret of shooting
straight. The outcome was a me-
chanical continuance invented by Capt.
Scott, of the British navy, called a
''dotter,'' by which small paper tar
get drawn to scale is caused to move
in front Of a gun with a combined YER
teal and horizontal movement While
the target is in motion the gun pointer
endeavors to train the gun so as to
keep the cross wires of his telescope
on the target Whenever the cross
wires are ION" an electrical connec-
ton causes a pencil to make dot on
the target, the dot representing a real
shot or a real target at thousand
yards. Thus the men are accustomed
to train the guns under the disturb
ing conditions of ship in a seaway.
The result of this training has pro-
duced results almost marvellous; in a
comparatively short time green men
were taught to fire the heavy guns
with great precision. A six-inch gun
on the Crescent made 105 hits out of
1870 at a target about 1.500 yards dis
tant, the average of hits a minute be-
ing 437. The - gun made nine hits
out of ten at a range of from 1,4Po to
1900 yards. On board the Terrible one
of the o. gums fired twelve rounds in
six minutes and hit the target nine
times. which is 10 hits minute.
Other foreign nations guard more
jealousy the results OF their gun work.
but it is known that all the great
navies are working to this end. the
central idea being to train the men to
point and fire guns under the sea con-
ditions, and doubtless in the next naval
battle the percentage of hits will be
far in excess of any vet recorded.
which is another way of saying that
future naval battles will be of shorter
duration but more destructive.

marder and costly to their enemies.
It is reckohed that, owing to fear of

The raid was conducted with the
consummate skill and daring of a John

The great military event of the last
week was the battle south Of Tatche-
kiao, between the forces of Oku and
r.ouropatkin. The Russian command
er-in-chief was present in person.
The japanese had strongly fortified
kaichou, which is 20 odd miles south
of Tatchekiao. both town lying on the
railroad. Early in the morning the
japanese began to press forward from
Kaichou. Their advance engaged in
severe skirmish with the Russian rear.
The Muscovites gradually broke
ground, their movements being accel-
Grated by the Japanese artillery. In
the afternoon the Japanese ceased TO
advance, and the troops on both sides
rested on their arms. This fighting
took place in severe heat. many Rus
slams succumbing to sunstroke
The following day the fighting began
again. The Russian batteries showed
unexpected strength and accuracy and
at one time gained preponderance of
IRE over the Japanese guns. This is
the first time such thing has occurred
during the war. The fighting contin-
ued all day, and was severe. At night
fall the Russians withdrew in good or
der to Haicheng. The Japanese made
no effort to follow them up. The cas-
uaides were in the neighbornood of
LOGO on each side.
The main Japanese attack in this
battle was directed from the south by
the forces under Gen. O.1u, but the
Takushan army lay immediately east
OF the Russian position in such way
as to threaten the Russian left flank.
The Muscovites did not know whence
the attack would come Gen Kouro-
patkin in his report makes no refer
enee TO the presence of the Takushan
army to his left, but Japanese reports
speak of its presence, and a Russian
newspaper correspondent present at
the fight says that the Russian general
was befooled in that he expected the
main attack from the east and was
surprised to have it delivered from the
south.
Shortly before the battle of Tatche-
kiao the Japs took Newchwang. At
present therefore, the Russians at
Haicheng and Liaoyang are in the cen
ter of the circle of which the Japs oc-
cupy an arc of 100 degrees to the east,
south, and southwest by south. The
main Japanese line is now about so
miles long, whereas, month ago, it
was $50 miles long. The shortening
has been accomplished by the steady
pressing in of all parts of the hippo
nese forces towards the center. Their
advance has been steady, but gradual.
They have lost no ground they have
once gained. But seemingly if they

protection of neutral shipping. The pro-
test contained a threat of further action
il an apology was .ot forthcoming.
Lieut.. Gen. Count Keller was killed
by fragment of japanese shell at the
time he was opposing the japanese adj
vance along the railway near Haieheng.
Lieut.. Gen Count Keller at the opening
of the war was in command of the sec
ond Siberian army division. He was 81
years old and resigned the governorship
OF Ekaterinislaff in order TO go to the
front Gen Keller took part in the three
campaigns Of the RuSso-Turkish war In
1887 he commanded the imperial rife
regiment and later was director Of the
corps OF imperial pages. By which Keller
came in contact with the members Of the
imperial family, with whom he was in
great favor. Gen. Keller was considered
10 be the possessor OF cool judgment and
TO be a fine strategist.
Tatchekiao was evacuated by the Rus
SLAMS after a battle lasting fourteen
hours. according TO dispatches from Lao
yang and Newchwang The battle near
Tatchekiso probably was between the
same forces which engaged in a conflict
between Newehwang and Tatchekiao.
The battle Of Tatchekias Is described by
Russian correspondent as duel be-
tween the batteries. in which the oppos-
ing armies were completely hidden from
each other by the high Chinese corn. The
Russians retreated when the japanese
gained position where their big guns
would sweep the Museovte ranks Ac-
