Of horror.
Among the heaps of dead the prince
saw two soldiers. one a Russian and
the other a Japanese, lying locked in
IA death embrace. The teeth Of the ia
panese were sunk in the Russians
throat, while the Russian had forced
two of his fingers into the eye sockets
of his antagonist.

4 FRAUDULENT SCHEME.
Opinion Of washington omclaIs ON
story from Pasadena. Cal.


Washington, Sept. 1s.-Pending an
investigation of the case. state depart
ment oficials are disposed to treat as
a fraudulent scheme to obtain money the
information which press reports from
Pasadena. Ca, say has come to rela-
tive of Congressman McLachlan Of Cal
ifornia of the reported death Of Louis
Blaisdell in a Spanish hospital, and the
detention of his fourteen year old
daughter in convent at Arajuez. Ac-
cording to the views Of the department
officials, the report bears the earmarks
OF a gang of imposters who have oper-
ated at various places in Spain for a
long time, and who have obtained sums
of money from foreigners who have be-
lieved the representations made to
them. The customary practice OF these
imposters is to report that parent has
died, leaving confession with a priest
and a young daughter In his charge.
and the information is conveyed that a
certain amount of money is needed to
obtain access to, or data concerning
the location Of fortune which the de-
scendant is supposed to have left to
a supposed relative in a foreign coun-
try. The story is an old one to the de-
partment officials and they have con-
stantly warned the public against be-
ing duped by this and similar schemes.
The request which Mr. McLachlan, act
ing in behalf Of the relative, has made,
that an investigation Of the facts in
the case be made by the state depart
ment, has not yet reached washington,
but as soon as it does it will be TAX
en- up for consideration.

oYAMA,s REPoRr MIsLEAp1Ne 2
Statement Issued by the Russian Gem
eraI star.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. 1S.-The Rus
sian embassy has received the follow
ing communication from the general
staff at st. Petersburg:
The official report Of Marshal Oyama
regarding the occupation Of Lao Yang
after a severe fight is not exact, as
Oyama could not name any quantity Of
prisoners or guns captured by his
troops, and without this his description
would appear meagre for the Japanese
public, which was awaiting news of Inn
mense spoil to atone for the tremendous
losses sustained in the battle by the
japanese army The Japanese conn
invents the following
facts:
Two old railway cars and several
broken up comrnissary wagons are re-
ferred to by. oyama as .an immense
supply Of provisions and railway ma
terial," several empty ammunition
boxes are designated as "a great guam
tity OF ammunition left by the Rus
slams in the entrenchments and forts, !.
as to the dum-dum bullets, they are
simply our well known apocopated re-
volver bullets.

THREE FREIGHT CARS
Jump Track and Crash Into Residence
Of Newark school OficiaI.

Jump Aftck uhu OEnSA AheU AASSAuSAASS
Of Newark school oficiaI.
Newardk, N. j., Sept. is. Three load
led freight cars on the Lackawanna
railroad jumped the track here early
today, tore through the freight yard
fence, crossed Sheffield street and
crashed into the residence of School
Commissioners James Shape.
The forward car was driven into the
house, which is of brick and fell into
the cellar. The other cars piled up
against the front of the house. Mr..
Shape and his family were asleep on
the second floor. Mr.. Shape was thrown
out of bed and bruised, but his wife
and three children were not injured.
They were unable to, get out Of the
house until neighbors came to their res
cue. The three cars were being switch
ed when they left the track and no en-
gine was attached. The city superin-
tendent Of buildings would not allow
the car to be removed from the cellar
for fear the house would fall.

SHIPPING HARD HIT.

from Last weeks Storm.
Boston, Sept. 1s.-Although the rec
ord OF destruction left by Thursdays
storm in its passage along the New
England coast is probably still incom-
plete, the returns up TO tonight show
that more than three score Of the coast
wise shipping fleet suffered more or
less damage from the gale.
So far as known, however, only one
life was lost, and that singularly
enough, was from the staunchest ship
that encountered the gale, the battle
ship Missouri. from whose deck a sea-
man was washed overheard. Four ves-
sells were totally wrecked.
AS the storm center passed over Vine
yard sound, across Cape Cod and then
on to the northeast it was the vessels
which were caught off shore between
Montauk Point and the Provinces that
suffered the worst.
The storm must also be held ac-
countabIe in far greater degree for
the half-million dollar fire in Halifax,
and for the seashore property loss in
Martha Vineyard, Nantucket and on
Cape Cod, where many houses were un-
rooted or blown down.
It is too early yet to chronicle the
missing, but it is feared as the days
go on that this list viii become for
midable not only in vessels lost, but in
lives.

KILLED BY A FALL AT
HIS BOARDING HOUSE
SHOCKING DEATH OF JOHN BU-
BACK OF WILLIAMS STREET.

Fell from second story window Of
While walking in the xard-Founs
Lying Unconscious on Cellar Steps.
John Bubacl of II william street wa,
killed shortly after o'clock yester.
day morning. either by falling from the
second story window OF his bed room,
or while walking in the yard, just how
is not known. About two weeks ago
Mr.. Buback's wife died at the New
Haven hospital, and since that time he
has been entirely out of sorts, and, il
is alleged, has been drinking heavily.
He has been occupying second story
rear room in the boarding house kept
by Mrs Miller, and he returned to the
house shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday
morning in an intoxicated condition.
The people in the house advised him to
go to bed, but he said he would lie
on the lounge near the window, which
he did after taking off his shoes
A little later, Mr. Buback was heard
going down stairs to an out house.
| About 2:30 O'Clock Mrs. Kubiza, who
lives at 80 Madison street, which is just
at the hear of Mrs. Mfller's house,
heard some groans On making an in
lvestigation she found Mr.. Buback lying
in pool of blood under his bed room
window, with his body partially hang
ing over the cellar stairway. She cum
moned DR.. Fleischner who ordered the
patient removed Immediately to Grace
hospital
An Investigation at the hospital re-
yealed the fact that Mr.. Buback could
not live as he had fractured skull
and a jaw bone was broken in two
places. Although IN an unconscious con-
dition, and despite his numerous other
injuries, the patient lived until o.
clock last evening.
Immediately the accident was discoy-
cred the Grand avenue police station
was notified and Officers Trainor and
Clancy hurried to the scene and COM
menced an examination. Medical ExA
aminer Bartlett and Coroner Mix were
also notified and made. an examination.
The verdict is accidental death caused
| by fall, but whether Mr.. Buback was
killed by falling from the window or
by stumbling down the stairs IS not
known. The latter theory is believed to
be the more probable, owing to the
fact that after he was heard to go
down stairs he was not heard return
ling, and also from the position in which
Ehe was lying when found Officer
Trainor stated last evening that he
thought that the man was going back
to the house when he stumbled and
fell ON the cellar way, striking his head
lagainst tho stone steps.
Mr.. Buback has always borne the
REPUTATION Of a steady going man Of
good character, but since his wife died
lit is claimed that he has been seen
under the influence of liquor several
times. He was employed as q. carpen-
ter by the firm Of Sperry & Anes on
Water street. The deceased was forty
nine years old, and is survived by ofs
stepson, Frank Dulicls of 215 Franklin
Istreet. Mr. Buback was a member of
Hermann Sons lodge and the Roch-
ImeumeT lodge.

Thoaston, Sept. 1S.-Thomas Nihill Of

left home Saturday, and he was not
seen since by the members of his fam
lily. The body was discovered by the
engineer of train this afternoon. He
leaves a widow and eight children.

ASSAULT on PORT ARTHUR.
BELIEF At Chee Foo That Great Struggle
May Now be On.

l r q
Chefoo, Sept is, midnight Local
students of the military situation at
Port Arthur, basing their deductions
upon recent developments there, are or
the opinion that another grand assault
IS either occurring at the present time
or is imminent. The opinion is based
on the very heavy bombardment of the
Russian stronghold that occurred on
September 49, as such a bonbardment
forms the usual prelude to an assault;
on the arrival here Of important mes
sengers from Port Arthur at a time
when the running Of the blockade is
extremely perilous; on a recent author
tive statement that the Japanese siege
works are completed and on reports
from japanese sources that at Port
Dalny an assault was expected to take
place in a few days.
These reports were received last
week.
In addition to the foregoing there is
common knowledge that the Japanese
realize that their continued inactivity
increases the resisting power of the
Russian garrison, and the consequent
desire to make such period Of inactivity
as brief as possible.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 1S.-The
peaceful but determined struggle be-
tween $17,Ooo,0oo invested capital and
5000 mill operatives, which began in
this city eight weeks ago, is apparently
no nearer settlement than at the
start. Both sides remain firm, the mill
owners declaring that it is impossible
to resume operations unless the twelve

in wages, while the operatives are just
.as determined against working under
such conditions.

gone on there have been rumors of set

The Pilgrim struck ON a soft sand
bottom, and as she was proceeding
slowly, she had no difficulty in backing
off at high water.
