Raleigh, N. c., Oct 15.-The South.

Engineer Parks, bound with a long
passenger train from Asheville to
Spartanburg, found at the top of the

right, but soon after leaving the top
again tested the brakes and found
that the train was not under his con.

best course to take was to run the
train upon the safety switch nearest

be heightened.
1t has been found by detectives that
on various occasions tramps have
eluded the watchman and tampered
with the brakes of the freight trains
at that point in revenge for being put
off and it is believed they tampered
with this passenger train.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1872 p. NJ
The silence of the Russian authori-

ing for the public.
Not single official word has been
given out to relieve the suspense and
anxiety for over "a hours, and the pub.
lie IS convinced that it can only mean
that General Kuropatkin's worId-pro-
claimed advance has ended in COM
plete disaster with such frightful
losses that they will stagger Russia,
even after Liao Yang. Most circum
stantial stories, attributed to court
circles, are told of the failure of the
Russian left, from where Kuropatkin
aimed his chief blow. The Russian
commander is stated to have had two
and half army corps there, with one
and half corps in reserve and they
are said to have been beaten and
thrown into a state of confusion bor-
dering on rout, it being now only
a question of the magnitude of the
defeat. According to these stories.
Kuropatkin was really feinting on his
front, having only three corps with
one general in reserve along the whole
center and right.

The next morning the Japanese

The Russians could not reach the jap

Japanese fire, and only few returned
