probably were left behind on account OF
their slow speed and inadequate fighting
power while the torpedo boat destroyers
would constitute a constant menace to

FEvERISH ANXIETY.
Definite news OF the result OF the re-
ported battle outside Port Arthur IL
awaited here with feverish anxiety. Even
If the squadron succeeded In getting
through the Japanese ships Il is realized
that IL runs a desperate risk in trying to
reach vladivostok. as Admiral Togo's
fleet is larger, OF superior strength and
faster than the Russian squadron. Be-
sides, the straits OF Korea are understood
TO be mined and the squadron probably
Will be compelled 10 take the long route
around japan.
1t is believed that the purpose OF the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer Ret
shitalny IN going TO Che Foo was to noti-

Port Arthur squadron. in order that he
may despatch the Viadivostok squadron

INTENSE INTEREST.
st. Petersburg. Aug. II. i:5s T.. M-The
apparent escape OF the Port Arthur
squadron is arousing the most intense In
terest here. No official news on the sub
iect had reached the admiralty when a
correspondent showed The Associated
Press dispatch from Che FOO TO Admiral
Avellan, chief Of the admiralty. but he
Expressed no surprise and on the con-
trsry did not conceal his satisfaction He

the Russian torpedo boats. gunboats and
small craft generally remained at Port
Arthur. Some came out TO perform their
usual duties in the vicinity. but they did
not follow the big ships. Capt. Rost-
chavosld stated that the recent firing

fog early today a Philadelphia and Read
ing towboat, the Swatora bound from
coal laden barges Corbin. Alberta and
Ephrate went ashore on the southeast
ern end OF Handkerchief Shoal. The three
barges also struck bottom, but were re-
leased from their dangerous positions by
timely work on the part of Capt Kelley
of the Monomoy Point life saving station
and his crew. The towboat remained
aground during the forenoon but II was
expected that she would be ioated during
the day.
The Swatora which had come down
over the shoals sighted the Handkerchief
llghtship and shaped her course for the
Shovelful. The weather was foggy and
a strong westerly tide swept the four yes

Married In Edgefeld.

The many friends of Mr.. Joseph Kinard
we're very much surprised last Wednes-
day night to learn of his marriage the
same afternoon to Miss Fannie Marsh in
Edgefeld, as they had no idea that he had
such step in contemplation. The fact
is that'an engagement had existed between
the young people for sometime past and
Mr.. Kinard went up last week on visit.
While out riding Wednesday afternoon
they decided to postpone the happy day
no longer, so stopping at the Presbyterian
parsonage they were made one by Rev.
George Burgess.
The happy couple arrived in Bamoerg
last Friday night, and are making their
home for the present at Mr.. j. I. Kinard's,
father of the groom, on Carlisle street.
The bride is most charming young lady,
daughter of Mrs. Emma Marsh, and
Mr.. Kinard's many friends sincerely con-
gratulate him on his good fortune.
