volunteer FIRE 20. NO. i nave
received three new hose carts this
week and some new nuzzles to
equip the fire department. We
had three bose carts before. and
the three just received make six
in all, these hose carts with about
five hundred feet of hose each will
be distributed in the different
parts of town, with nozzles, keys
etc., in order to be ready in an in-
slant to answer any fire alarm.
Prompt action to fight the lire in
its incipiency is what the fire de-
partment is providing for, and they
will have their equipment in pref
ty good shape in very short time.
What would be necessary now is
the organization Of hose compan-
MES for every hose cart with men
appointed to work the hose, handle
the nozzle, one man to attend to
the hydrants, one for the conn ec-
tion of hose and foreman and
assistant to command the force,
and FIRE chief having command
over the foremen of the several
companies. Such organizations
would give as first class fire de-
partment, capable of doing even
better service than the good work
they have done in the past. The
member ship of the hose companies
should not be very numerous, ten
to fifteen men would be all that is
necessary to make good, substan-
tial, reliable companies on whom
we could depend toprotect us from
destructive fires.

There is some wild talk going
around concerning probable
change in the running of trains on
the Morgan road and the construc-
|'tion Of more tracks. A dispatch
from Franklin last week brought
glad tidings to the people of New
Iberia, by saying that in the near
future the round house would be
taken from Lafayette to New Ibe
ria. aud that the Company con-
templated the idea of running
their main trains from New Iberia
via Cade, st. Martinville, Breaux
Bridge, Arnaudville and Opelou-
sas, etc. The people of Lafayette
look upon this piece of news as a
dream from some disturbed mind.
We would certainly like to see the
main line pass through st. Martin
vile, but we cannot sec what the
railroad would gain in running the
trains through this section instead
of the direct line from Cade to
Opelousas. To us it looks like an
impossibility, and for this reason
we cannot look seriously upon the
announcement that seems to have
gladden. the hearts of the Iberians
and disturb the thoughts of the
people of Lafayette. We can see
nothing in it.

CHARGED WITH AN
 ASSAULT ON STITH
FIVE MEN ARRESTED AND PLACED UNDER BoND-o'NElLL MAKES STATEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE FIGHT.

John Burrell, Nose Tohmpson, John Mulkins. Line Burrell and c. A. oNeil have been placed under bond on the charge of assault with intent to murder. The arrests grew out of the recent trouble in the Blossburg- -Brookside dis trict, in which Superintendent P. J. stith was injured
 The following statement is made by c. A o'Neil, mercnant at Cardiff:
 non the evening of the 6th I was walking up the railroad track some dis tance toward the depot leading toward Cardiff, and saw MT. Mullxins and MT. Diskins engaged in an argument with MT. Stith. John Burrell and I passed on by, but did not speak to them or bid them the time of day. MT. Thomp- son and MT. Burrell stopped and engag- ed in the conversation. John Burrell and l had gone between fifty and a hundred yards when we heard loud talk and look ing around saw them fighting, and we ran back. Am. Burrell and P. J. Stith were fighting, and A. B. Aldrich had a pistol in his right hand, commanding people to stand back. He was swinging the pistol toward those who were fighting arm to prevent him from shooting me or the others. He attempted to resist putting the pistol up and I slapped him in the face with my umbrella. By this time the fight had stopped and we went on about our business, and I advised MT. Aldrich to take MT. Stith and go on."

Jananese Needed Locomotives.

London, September 10.-The Times this morning prints a dispatch dated Pekin, from its correspondent with General Oku's army which says:
 ''Liao Yang at sunrise on September 1 presented dismal spectacle. The Rus sian settlement was burning and over hung with a pail of smoke.
 ''The town was not greatly damaged by the shell fire, but all the European shops and the wealthy residences had heen sacked. The Japanese spells of war were insignificant. They got no locomo- lives, which they urgently need, and which would have been more valuable to them than artillery"
 The correspondent proceeds in a critical vein. promising that his information is somewhat incomplete owing to the great extent of the operations. He says that after what he read in the papers of Ja- panese tactics and strategy, he Is com- pelled to confess that what he saw in practice was short of his expectations.
 Nothing Excellent in Either Army.
 My honest opinion" he says. lis that there Is nothing strategically excellent in the handling of either army, though Ku- ropatkin can claim to have defeated the main object of the Japanese operations
 'The Russians obviously in the tactics cling to the cardinal error of overman- ming their defensive positions, while the sole spirit of Japanses tactics illustrated under Oku was sIedge-hammer frontal attacks.
 T am satisfied that Oku commands the finest infantry in the world. I do not believe that any other army could in five days deliver eight unsuccessful in- fantry assaults against entrenched posi- tions, and still persevere"

NO CHANGE IN THE
 INTERNAL POLICY
NEW RUSSIAN MINISTER OF IN- TERROR IS FIRM PARTISAN OF DECENTRALIZATIo FOL- LOW BROAD LIBERALISM.

Paris, September 10.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris sends an interview which lie had with Prince Peter Sviatopolk- -Mirsky the new min- ister of the interior, in which the prince said:
 T do not Intend to change Russia's in- ternal policy, but shall strive to follow the programme set forth in the emper- or's manifesto of February, 1903, work ing on the foundation laid down by my sovereign to inspire my actions by true and broad liberalism. especially as this will not change the established order of things. I am firm partisan of decen- tralization, and consequently, propose to give provincial communal assemblies ex- tensive powers to regulate their local af- fairs"
 The prince declared that he intended to treat the Jews kindly but said that if he granted them liberty now possessed by the orthodox, they might assume too great importance.

WRITES TO JUDGE FEAeIN.
Young Man Addicted to Dope Begs ;
 Chance to Reform.

Robert McManus, a white man about 23 years old, who Is in the city Jail fac- ing half a dozen charges of various na- lures, wrote a note to Judge Feeagin yes- terday begging for one more chance to be a better man. The note is typical of those frequently received by Judge Fea- gin. It Is written in pencil on a soiled Western Union telegraph blank, and the spelling might make Noah Webster turn over in his grave. Spelling correctly, the note is as follows:
 Please judge. if you let me go this last time and the police find me in the city tomorrow or any time after tonight you can send me to the mines for five years. I will swear to this and take an oath for the last time. I am dying with consumption now.
 ROBERT M'MANUS."
 Ii will be remembered that McManus is in jail now charged with escaping from the mines, where he was sentenced.
 He Is known as a dope fiend and Judge Feagin Is holding him in jail until he can find some way of placing him where he can be taken care of and prevented from doping up."
 McManus has given the police a great deal of trouble. He Is fn jail frequently for different charges, and will steal any thing that Is not nailed down. Since he was placed in jail this time he has stolen 25 cents from another prisoner.

"A Midnight Marriage"

For next week Manager Wells has se- cured "A Midnight Marriage" which will open the season at the Bijou for week s engagement This is said to be stirring melodrama in which humor and pathos are closely intermingled and the heart interest appeals to every one. The play is from the pen of Hal Reid. an au- thor and playwright who has achieved signal success in the past and is said to have surpassed his former efforts in "A Midnight Marriage"
 The story treats of the struggles of young concert hall singer against fate and the machinations of cruel william. She wins happiness in the end and every body Is satisfied. There is a pronounced strain or comedy running through the play which will serve to tighten the more dramatic scenes.
 The sale of seats is now on.

RUSSIAN ARMY
 SAFE IN MUKDEk
contInued from First Pace,

------~>------------~---~
 ment Of thunder and lightning There has been the greatest difficulty in preventing the cavalry stampeding by the double guards, and all the horse lines have been tied.
 All the lower ground is under water, and Chinese boats from the Hun river are navigating many of the roads and some of the streets. This makes little difference to the men who are under canvas, but all others are soaked to the skin, and are sleeping exhausted in mud and water indifferent to the weather If they can snatch much-needed rest.
 The advantage is that the rain has en- tirely checked the movements of the Jap- anese eastern anu southern armies-in fact quiet reigns over the whole front.
 The Chinese population of Mukden is so far fairly orderly. The Chinese are suffering greatly, and in the villages all around crops, cattle and poultry have been trodden down and killed. The Rus sians are endeavoring to pay for all dam- age, though this often Is difficult owing to the rapid shifting of the troops, and the guileless natives are always ready where possible to induce two or more commanders to pay for the same dam age

LOCAL POLITICS REFUSE TO BOIL AND COMING ELECTION PROM lsEs TO BE THE oUlETEsT IN THE TOWNS HISTORY.

Pratt City, September s.-Cspecial.)- twithstanding the fact that the regu. lar date for the city executive commit tee to meet and call a primary for the purpose of nominating candidates for mayor and aldermen is only few days off, no political gossip whatever is heard on the streets. Unless the strike situation Is changed the coming city cleo ton promises to be the quietest, from present indications, ever held in this city.
 Several probable candidates are/ being mentioned for mayor and aldermen but so far none have announced. The chances are that if Mayor Hudnall agrees to run again he will not be opposed.
 Mayor Hudnall has a splendid record and has conducted the affairs of the city in a business-like way. He is one of the city's leading business men and may not allow his name to come before the voters in the primary.
