Then Carried Off, She Says and Gov
 cred with Boards.
 Elizabeth, N. d., April 14.-While Miss Margaret Hayden, 16 years old, of PA Marshall. street, was on her way home from a revival service in the East Baptist church Wednesday evening she was waylaid by an un- known man who chlOrdfOrmed her af- ter dealing her at least one blow on the head. She was then carried to ] vacant lot and covered with boards and other pieces of timber from tine see of a new house. being built near by. In that predicament she was found at midnight by searching par ty. at the head of which was the Rev John V. Ellison. the pastor of the East Baptist church.
 Revival meetings have been in pro- gress at the East Baptist church for twelve weeks, and Miss Hayden is one of large number who recently stood up and expressed desire to become a member of the church. .'""iD VI .hA4
 Shortly after Miss Hayden had been received by the Baptists Pastor EllsOh began to get threatening letters from some unknown source, the threats be- iny made because his services had drawn Miss Hayden away from the Methodist church, to which she for merly belonged. Similar threats have been made anonymously to the girls family. but that did not deter her from joining enthusiastically in the revival services each evening.
 Last night she went to the church as usual, but started for home alone be- fore the end of the services. She has weak heart, and her folks became uneasy over her absence. Her brother Frederick was sent to the church for her. but he was unable to learn any thing except that she left the services early. A searching party was organized then. with Pastor EllsOn at the head Most of the party carried lanterns. The girl was finally found lying prone on the ground partly concealed by the boards. She was hurried home and revived by physician. This morn- ing she told her story to the police.
 She said that as she was walking through Marshal street. which is a re- spectible neighbOrhood, she became conscious of footsteps behind her. At the moment she glanced around she re. ceived blow on the head that stunned her. That was all she remembered. She is a nervous wreck today at ner home. The threatening letters are he lieved to have purported to come from some Methodist church member as blind to divert suspicion.

News from Japanese Capital.

Toxic, April pa p. m.-The move
ments of the squadron commanded by
Admiral Rojestvensky and the inten
tions of the Russian commander con
tinue to be the subject of general in
terest and speculation.
The last Japanese reports are con
flicting. and confusing. They do not
indicate definitely the purpose of Ro
jestvensky, but it is evidently the in
tention of the Russian admiral to await
a junction with the division command
ed by Admiral Nebogatoff, which in
creases the probability Of his intention
to give Admiral Togo decisive battle
1t is assumed that Rojestvensky will
bring all the ships and guns possible
into action, if he intends to fight, OIL
Will detach and abandon his slow
cumbersome and useless ships if ht
intends to run the gauntlet to Vladi
vostok. 1t is believed that the location
and date of he engagement will de
pend entirely on Rojestvensky.
The Japanese defensive plans are
concealed with absolute secrecy. Th
proclamations issued are viewed calm
ly by the officials and public. Th
people appreciate the Importance ol
the retaining the sea power of japan
and the great consequences whit
hings on victory or defeat, but they
are confident of success owing to the
superiority in numbers and strength
of the armored cruisers of Japan
which it is believed counter balance
the Russian superiority in battleships.

Strike pickets with orders to pre-

suit of the spreading of the strike 45
heavy trucks and 40 city delivery wag-
ons were kept behind locked doors in
the Field delivery barn. At the Car.
son, Pierre Scott barns also the doors,
were kept closed, the reason assigned
being to prevent pickets learning what
preparations were being made. Driy-'
ers for the railroad express companies
refused today to haul or deliver goods
to the firms against which teamsters
had struck.
One hundred and ninety drivers OF
the A. M. Forbes Carriage company
struck today. The strike of the Forbes
men had the effect of interfering part
ly or wholly with the teaming of so
other firms for whom the Forbes com
pany furnished wagons.
