Guilty grew out of an effort on the part
of deputy Hoover to quiet q dispute,
with belligerent demonstration on the
street between Mr.. Rhodes and another
man. Hoover, SO 1t ia said. was invit-

where the latter agreed to give up,
The deputy demurred, saying that
Rhodes had revolver. This was de-

and in to a room where Mrs. Rhodes
was when Rhodes presented q revolver,
with threats. Hoover tried to get the
gun away. but it fell into the hands Of
Mrs Rhodes, who, 1t Is alleged, fred

and as district court was due Tuesday
the case was set for Thursday at p.

reached, however. Mr.. Rhodes caused
the arrest Of the complainant, Charles
Hoover, on q serious charge. This
charge proved a shock to all who heard
it, and it was minated that it was this

for home and accompanying that on

appearance at the proper time.

infantry singers was occasionally in
terrupted by the rattle and clang of
guns drawn at smart trot and follow
ed by galloping squadrons of cavalry.
1t waa stirring spectacle to see the
Russian army eagerly Fastening, sing
ing, to battle. The old battle hymns
were last heard in the hattalions
rounding among the hills and valleys,
as with bayontes glittering in the set
ting sun the regimental colors were
born maistically forward. For hours
after darkness fell over the scene one
could still hear the rattle of moving
guns, the cracking of commissariat
wagons and the tread of marching
men, while occasionally, in place Of
the war songs of the soldiers, homely
melodies recounting the joys of village
life, which carries the minds of the
men back to their distant homes in
Russia, echoed through the air.
AS this dispatch is filed news has
reached here that Gen. Kuroki is
marching upon Hal Cheng.
There are many military attaches
and newspaper correspondents here.

Water Turned on Men Who We're
Working in Conduit in
Jamaica.

Kingston, Ja., June I.-Thirsy-
three persons were killed by an acci-
dent which took place near Spanish
Town, 10 miles west of Kingston, the
morning in the main conauit of the
West India Electric company. which
operates the street cars from Kingston
and the shareholders Of which are
principally Canadians.
a Nearly 100 laborers had been detailed
to remove sand from the enormous
pipe which is mile long and which
conveys water from the intake on the
Rio Cobre to the turbines OF the pow
er house. The work had been practi-
cally completed when orders were given
to allow a small quantity Of water to
enter the conduit.
through misapprehension, accident
or carelessness, the full force of waSer
was turned on and a mad struggle to
escape by means of the manholes en-
sued with the result that 33 persons
we're killed. The tragedy has cast
gloom over the colony and rigid in
vestigation into the cause is now in
progress.

An Unusual Accident.

Columbia, June "a As the result
of an explosion of a half-barrel Of
quicklime today, in Waverly, John
Minis, colored carpenter or mason,
was horribly burned about the face
and it is feared that he will lose his
sight. Minis and another carpenter
were working on a house on Oak
street, and it seems that small barrel
Of lime. or half barrel as it is called
by the carpenters, was opened care
lessly, only half Of the top being
knocked of. Water was poured in
hurriedly, as the workmen were in a
hurry to get to dinner and wished to
finish mixing before leaving. AS the
steam commenced to rise and the
lime began to work it expanded and
burst tire keg, scattering the lime all
over the place. Minis was struck in
the face and left eye, being burned
horribly. and suffered excruciating
pain before medical aid could be sum-
moned He was taken to his home on
West Lady street as quickly as possible
and efforts were made to save his sight.
This may be done, but just now it is
doubtful. The peculiar part abont
the whole accident is that Waters,
another carpenter, was standing beside
Minis and was not touched by any of
the flying lime. The contractor says
that it was tile mans own fault that
the accident happened.

Greatest Living Russian CritIcises
Gar and War Party in Sc
we're Terms.

London, June 27.-The Times this
morn ing prints ten-column disserta-
lion ,n the Russo japanese war written
h5 Count Tolstoi in his most violent
style. The trend of this remarkable
document is, first, against all war,
but it is principally a thunderous
phil ppic against the Russian govern
mem; and the Russian orthodox church
and generally against the existing
order of things.
Tclstoi says that the Reseryists
throughout Russia are dissatisfied,
gloomy and exasperated and the old
appeal for faith, king and fatherland
has lost its spell over the Russian
masse -
The ten columns breathe gloomy
rebodings and preach revolution.
Tolstoi holds up the emperor to con-
tempt as an unfortunate and entang-
led young man, recognized as the lead
er OF 130, 600, 600, continually undecided
and compelled to contradict himself. "
Tolstoi however, does not stop with
Russia, for Japan is given share of
his stinging comments for having
foreibly resisted what he terms the
unprovoked aggression of Russia.

THE BATTLE DEFERRED.

St. Petersburg, June 81, 5.47 p.
m.-The Japanese have evacuated
Senu Chen, APPARENTLY with the OBJ
ject of enticing Gen. Kuropatkin
south. In the meanwhile Gen. Kuroki
is advancing on Hal Cheng ready to
attack the Russian left, and is again
moving troops north from Feng Wang
Cheng.
The result of the two recent devel-
opments, it is believed by the general
staff, will defer the prospects of a
big battle. 8
The Russians lost eighty one men in
the recent fight north Of Al Yang

FIGHTING PARsON BRouGHT0N.
R. w. Westbrook, Chief of the Al
bany, Ca, Police Resents
Damaging Charges.

Albany, Ca, June 27.-Rev. Dr..
Len G. Broughton of Atlanta and
Chief of Police R. ". Westbrook
were the central figures in sensation
al fight which occurred about 6
O'Clock this afternoon in the barber
shop Of Levi Dawson on Broad street.
The fight was the outcome of charges
preferred against Westbrook in a SER
mon by Broughton Sunday afternoon
in the Chautauqua auditorium.
Broughton charged that Wetsbrook
was drunkard and that he could be
found at all hours in the lowest dives
in the city. He claimed to have afi-
davits in his possession to prove his
charges and said he was ready for an
investigation if one was desired by
Wetsbrook.
The sensation of Broughton and
Westbrook has been the sole talk Of
the people on the streets of Albany to-
dya and fight was freely predicted
should Westbrook and Broughton
meet.
When Westbrook entered Dawson IS
shop this afternoon Broughton was in
chair being shaved. AS soon as
Westbrook saw him he went for HIM.
Broughton was struck several times
by Westbrook, when friends of Brough-
ton interfered and hauled Westbrook
off of him. -Four or FIVE hundred peo-
pie collected quickly in front of the
shop and for while it appeared that
a general mix up was imminent. The
affair has caused great sensation and
it is freely predicted that more trou-
BILE will result from Broughton' g
charges
Cruger Westbrook, a son of Chief
Westbrook and the senator from this
district in the present assembly, had
fight with Mr. E. W. Jordan, it
being believed that Jordan is the man
who furnished Broughton with his
evidence. Jordan was knocked dow
but suffered no serious damage.

EFFECT OF SAKHAROFF'S RE-
PORT.

St. Petersburg, June 27-Lieut. Gen.
Sakharoff's disptacq, received to-
night, confirms the belief that the
great decisive battle of the campaign
between Gen. Kuropatkin's main
army and the armies of Gems. Kuroki
and Oku is imminent. The three
armies probably aggregate 300, 600
men. and their outposts are today In
touch all along the line.
The japanese evidently tried to
draw Kuropatkin as far south as pos
siwble. holding out as an incenative
check to the advance Of Oku's main
army. Meantime Oku swung sharply
to the eastward to join Kuroki to-
ward the Chapan Pass, Kuroki at the
same time moving a strong force by
the right flank towards Hal Cheng.
The main japanese advance contin-
ues along the main Feng Wang Cheng
Lilac Yang road, avoiding the Mao
Tien Pass by detour to the north
ward. The advance in all points is
heing attended by constant skirmish-
ing.
Nothing is known here of the exact
point at which Kuropatkin's main
force is concentrated, though it is be-
lieved that large part of the Liao
Yang force has. been moved to a
point between Kin Chau and Tatche
Kiao.
According to the Associated Press
dispatch from Tatche Kiao today
large force has pushed southwark from
Tatche Kiao against Ojku. While
Kuropatkin is thus extending himself,
the japanese, with great mobility,
seem to be trying to concentrate for
the purpose of striking the Russians
in flank and rear.
There is belief that the Vladivos
tok squadron put to sea Saturday and
is likely t be next heard of in the Co
rean Straits.
