but s1.1O to the support of his wife and
two children during the last seven weeks,
a charge of non-suppoi against him in
CITY Court this morning was dismissed.

their little home was bought on the in
stallment plan. When Ryan became so III
that he cou.d not work any longer and
consequently unable to make the month
" payments demanded by the installment
men. he returned the furniture he had
bought to them. Mrs. Ryan said her hus-
band never abused her nor had she ever
seen him intoxicated.

Vestigated the case and learned that the
mans condition prevented him from earn.
ing livelihood for his family. He saij
he had spoken to the couple and it was
arraigned that Mrs. Ryan should try an,
make few dollars while the sickly hus.
band stays at home and takes care of tn,
children. The case was dismissed.

gees report that the Japanese made a
great attack ON Port Arthur on August

field, which WIS exploded with terrino
effect.
Many OF the Japanese were blown TO
atoms and It is estimated that their

; TO explode them. The Russians have
captured numbers OF these cattle thus
adding to their food supplies The
price OF carcass Of beef Is now 150
gubles S75).
Refugees who arrived at Chefoo last
night say that the Japanese losses Sun
day were terrible. Il Is asserted that
one battery OF horse artillery. two
squadrons OF cavalry and half a divi-
sion of infantry were completely annl-
hilated by mine explosions. The mems
bodies were dismembered. The spec
tacle was a terrible one.
The Japanese right and left nanks
are retiring. They are now attacking
the centre positions. The fighting Is
described as being OF a fearful charac-
ter.
