Soon afterward he dispatched a note
to Mrs e. w. Dignon, young widow
registered at the Martha washington
Hotel from Philadelphia.
In this note he told the young Wo-
man that he was shot this morning
and asked her to tell his employer that
he. had been called away. He also be-
sought her to keep his name secret
Soon afterward lawyer representing
Mrs. Dignon called at the hospital.
He told the newspaper men that the
young man is of good standing, but re-
fused to give his name. He said 1t
was unfortunate that his clients name

reason it occurred to him to write TO

is furnished by the name Dana on

the Japanese government and as soon
as it was established that such goods
were about to be shipped to a hostile
destination the facts were officially
communicated to the British govern

be taken to put stop to it. 1t is
further asserted that in many cases
the government has not taken action

war ends Russia proposes to present
a bill for damages to the British gov
eminent which will offset the fndem-
mites claimed for the seizure of Brit

1t is also learned by the Associated
Press that Russia does not intend to

of the right of vessels of the volunteer

. HEADLONG FALL
WhirIing Body Dashed to
Pavement From Dizzy
Height.

Every one who has recently been to
Raleigh will recall the immensely tall
rear portion of the new Academy of
MUSIC building. 1t is a narrow pile
that, designed to accommodate the
scenery for big theatrical companies,
towers above the ground to a height
OF seventy-five or one hundred feet.
From this altitude the wayfares on
Martin street yesterday morning saw
the form of a man Slip and fall. For
a fraction of a moment the body
seemed to clutch and hold for an in
slant to the sheer perpendicular of
the walls but only for an instant be-
fore 1t plunged again head-long to-
wards the street. AS the weight of
the body dragged it free from it's
shrek of the agony of impending
deah and as the Mortified spectators
stood rooted in their tracks. they saw
the form of the man drop whirling
over and over to the ground.
AS the body struck the sidewalk
with the dull impact of smitten flesh,
shuddering gasp ran from mouth to
mouth of those who saw. The head
crumpled uD like paper beneath the
body and a shapeless mass lay pros
trate on the walk.
Across the way woman echoed
the shrek that came from the air
above; and, high UP on the building
a white-faced workman craned his
neck over the edge to gaze at his
fallen comrade below
For an instant the people stood
aghast and then, filled with horror, APP
preached to view the corpse. AS they
looked they saw that it was the body
of-a suit of overalls stuffed with
trash!

May Follow.
(By the Associated Press. )

ST. Petersburg, July 29.-Since the
Russian retreat from Ia Tche Kiao
and the taking of New Chwang by the
Japanese, the feeling here has grown
suddenly more pessimistic With the
Japanese able to get around General
Kuropatkin's right from New
Chwang with their forces pressing in
upon Hal Cheng from the east and

Russian communications above Lao
Yang, the withdrawal of the entire
Russian army northward may be alb

ton the orders issued to the foreign
war correspondents to go to Hardin,
as announced in these dispatches yes
terday as we'll as the Associated
Press confirmation this morning from
VladivoStock that Viceroy Alexieff is
going there, are highly significant, as
indicating that General Kuropatkin
may already have decided that his
present position is untenable
The temper of the soldiers at the
front over these continued retrograde
movements is shown by the state
ments of two Russian correspondents
with General Herschelmann, who
report in identical language that "the
soldiers are tired of retreating' and

correspondent. who says -Four men
