NOT GUILTY
CASE AGAINST BOB STUART
FOR CRUELTY.

The case of cruelty to animals
against Bob Stuart, one of Thomas
drivers, postponed from yesterday
was heard this morning. Four wit
nesses of the gentle sex were exam
ined and one negro, an employe OF
Charles Randall.
The latter's testimony was rather
amusing, especially the part relative
to the off side or left hand horse. 1t
was clear to his intellect and he was
slightly exasperated that the court
and attorney could not see it as he
did. The negro and one young lady
swore that Stuart did strike the horse
with club. This Stuart denied alb
solute1y. Thomas, the owner, stated
that he. examined the animal and
that she did not have a mark on her.
He also said that his men had strict
orders about whipping horses. At
torney E. F. Morgan conducted the
case for the defendants.
Chief Morgan swore that Stuart
told him just after the affair that he
got angry and told the woman to go
to hell.
His Honor found the defendant not
guilty and dismissed the case.

FOUND
OWNER OF MISSING GEMS SAYS
ssHE FOUND THEM HERE IN
SAFE.
THROUGH DETEc-
tina = AGENCY THAT SHE
FOUND PEARLS WHERE
SHE USUALLY KEPT
THEM.

4s555 54s55 SNEW4sYORK, Aug. 11.-More start
s ling than the publication of the mys
II terious loss Of 100000 worth of rare
gems from a Newport houseswas the
announcement authorized by Mrs
Ogden Goelet yesterday through the
Pinkerton Detective Agency, that she
had found the missing jewels here in
New York in a safe deposit, vault.
Mrs Goe1et does not attempt to ex
plain, nor do the Pinkerton detective
quired several weeks for their joint
EFFORTS finally to solve a problem
which astounded society by finding
missing treasure of such value in the
place where it was usually kept and
where it would be first looked for by
its owner even in ordinary circum-
stances.
Although Mrs. Goelet arrived in this
city on Monday night expressly to
search her safe for the missing jew
elsa is asserted by the detectives,
she did not make the alleged discov-
ery OF the gems until yesterday after
noon. After conference with the
detectives, Mrs. Goe1et, representa-
tive of the Goe1et estate management
and member of the firm of Tiffany
i & CO., in this city, after the arrival
here of Mrs. Goe1et, this statement
was authorized:
s4ssses Mrs. Ogden Goelet's jewels, which
were believed to have been lost, were,
through the suggestion of the Pinker-
tons and Chief of Police Richards, of
Newport, found today by her in her
safe IN this city
Mrs. Goe1et left New York for
Newport on June 21. She took with
her her Jewel case. In the middle
ofEJuly she went to the case for some
of the jewelry. She missed and made
"a thorough search for it in her New
port residence Failing to find it, in
the latter part of July she reported
her loss to the. Pinkertons at New
York, and Chief of Police Richards
After a thorough investigation by
the Pinkertons, who concluded that
no robbery had been committed and
that the jewels were probably in her
safe in this city, she, at the sug-
gestion, came here Monday, and to-
day, on opening her safe, found the |
Jewels where she had placed them" |
The Jewels had not been seen by
Mrs. Goelet since June 81. Missing

TO AGREE
ON PLANS FOR CONTINUING SUR

MlSSiONERS YESTER-
DAY.
appear rance

The meeting held in the County
! Court room yesterday by the commits
! sioners and surveyors of Wetzel, Mo
nongalia and Marion counties to talk
over and devise plans for the continz
ties, proved unsuccessful, the meeting
adjourning without arriving at any
satisfactory conclusions.
One by one the commissioners and
surveyors were called into separate
room and questioned as to their de-
cision and the probable cost of the
survey; the county surveyors claim
ing that the work of surveying the
three counties would not and should
not exceed four thousand dollars,
which would require corps consist
men. Six hundred dollars was the
amount agreed upon by the committee
in the matter of the cost of making
the map. claiming it would not take
ovet sixty days for its construction
which would be ten dollars per day
This was considered a big price, but
they were willing to let it go at that,
providing they could make some salts
factory arrangements with Mr.. Mon
roe, the engineer who has been in
charge of the survey.
There have been twenty-five hun
dred dollars expended already on the
survey.
Mr. Monroe claimed it would neces-
state not less than five thousand dol
lars more to complete the work, but
he would not agree with the commits
sioners to do it for that sum. In ad-
ditfon he asked one thousand dollars |
for the making Of the map. Only one
fourth of the survey has been made
and it has cost two thousand five
likely, according to Mr.. Monroes sur
veying, that the cost would be less
than ten thousand dollars, plus the
one thousand for the map, making in |
all eleven thousand dollars.
Of course the commissioners could
not consider these huge figures for
a five thousand dollar job. Monroe
has been working from ten to thir-
.een men, which has cost, in round
numbers, about fifty dollars. day,
when four men are all that is neces-
;ary. The commissioners have drop
bed the subject, failing to arrive at
my satisfactory figures with Mr.. Mon
'oe. The matter may be submitted to
he governor and another man ap-
pointed, and if not, the question will

PEN Up
RUSSIAN
FLEET
REPORTED TO HAVE EMERGED
FROM PORT .ARTHUR-A Sc
WERE BATTLE TOOK
PLACE IN THE
NIGHT.

81 AONDON, Aug. 11--As- dis patch re
/ ceiTed by the Japanese legation this
morning confirms to a degree the
press dispatches reporting the emer
! gency Of the Russian feet from Port
Arthur harbor and subsequent naval
engagement. The dispatch to the lie.
CATION reads:
Various reports from Talien-Wan
show that the Russian squadron
emerged from Port Arthur on the
morning of August 10. "A severe ma
val battle ensued continuing until
sunset. In the. night hour torpedo flo
tillas seem to have attacked the enc
mics squadron for at dawn on August
II the .Retvisan and another battle
ship, of the Pobieda type, appeared to
be taking flight toward Port Arthur"
The Toxic. correspondent of the
Reuter- Telegram Company wiring re-
garding the fight outside of Port Ar
thur says the result Of ,the torpedo
attack is not known. The Retvisan
and Pobieda were seen outside Of
Port Arthur this morning.
Continuing the correspondent says:
"The Russian fleet consisted of six
battleships and four cruisers. The
torpedo boats of the Russians,
which are smaller than the japanese
vessels opened fire on the japanese.
The pursuit lasted for two and one
half hours
The press dispatches vary from the
legation report, in that the former as
sert that the Russian fleet eluded the
watchfu1 Japanese and steamed away
from the port escaping the line of YES
sells under Admiral Togo, until they
were well out to sea. The Japanese
vessels are said to have given pur-
suit, and naval engagement in the
open sea is expected. These details
cannot be confirmed, and are in part
denied in effect by the legation re-
port which states that the Russian
batteships Retvisan and Pobieda
we're seen returning to Port Arthur
This morning.
How she News Was Brought.
CHEZ FOO, Aug. 1.-THE Rus
sian torpedo destroyer which reached |
here from Port Arthur to-day, and
which brought news of the Russian
sortie from the port is the Rechitelni.
Her captain confirms the report of
he sortie and states that the war
ships expected to join the V1adivos-
ock squadron, which has been re-
;ruited by the purchase of the ships
rom Argentina. The torpedo boats
md small craft generally, he said,
we're to have remained at Port Ar
hur.
According to the captain of the de-
troyer, the japanese continue to at
ack Port Arthur in energetic fashion
heir line now extends from Luisa
Bay, on the north shore to point i'm
nediately east of Tschi Bay, which is
bout seven miles east of Port Ar
hur. The Japanese, he says, are
'asting lives by their reckless cour-
ge. Positions are frequently lost and
hen retaken only to be lost again.
Five passengers aboard the destroy
r confirm the reports that the shells
rom VOLTS Hill are falling in Port l
.rthIr. Several civilians have been I
ljured. One of the shells destroy {
d store of oil under Golden Hill L
ortress. These passengers state that l.
he sortie, according to their belief, Y
as made about o'clock Wednesday,. I
he hospital ship Mongolia, with Q
omen and children on board accom- a
anied the destroyer to this port.
