REPORT THAT JAPANESE
 CUT OFF VLADIVOSTOK.
ortress Is Now Located According to Some Stories
 Two Lines Have Been in Use. One of Which is Now
 Working Russian War 0fice Considers the Story Absurd-says laps Could Not Break Through

St Petersburg, May 24.-The author
 tles here have no confirmation of the Report telegraphed from Tokio to the
 london Daily Telegraph to the effect
 hat the Japanese have. cut the railroad
 vladivostok and isolated that fort
 ess. The director of telegraphs in-
 ormed the Associated Press to-day
 hat there are two lines to Vladivostok,
 he direct by way of Khabarovsk, Si-
 ,eria, and the other via Harbin. The
 ormer is working and no interruption kf the latter had been reported this
 norning from Harbin, whence mes 3ages are constantly arriving. In huiries on the subject have been dis patched to Harbin. The war. office had h0 news of the railroad being cut, but 1 he Idea that the fortress is cut oil on |he land side is regarded as absurd,
 though it is always possible that a tmall raiding party might reach the failroad and temporarily damage it.. But it is considered impossible that Il )apanese force of sufficient strength l o hold the railroad could have passed | through the Russian skirmish lines,
 which keep in touch for the entire dis lance between General Linevitch's frmy and the division along the Tumen liver
 Later In the day replies were re- Eeiyed from Harbin saying that both he railroad and telegraph lines to Hladiyostok were working and the As Eociated Press was authorized to deny the report of the fortress's isolation.

DENTON CASE.
Wife and Daughter Will Retain 8 Life Interest
 in Property.

The suit of David Denton against his
 wife, Margaret, for a division of their property, has been settled amicably. The Dentons live in Waterville. and though they have been at law for some time their relations. at least on the sur face. have been amicable. Their trou- bles began when Mir Denton joined the Masons. Mrs Denton objected on re. ligious grounds. but that did not deter her husband from carrying out his in tention. The property, house and lot worth about 4,OOO, was in their mu- tual name. and it was agreed that in case of trouble it should be equally di- yided between them. Mrs Denton claimed a division when her husband became Mason and Judge Cowell in the district court, after long hearing, divided the property. Mir Denton was not satisfied and he took an appea! to the superior court. The case was to be heard to-day or tomorrow morning, being the next on the list, but it was agreed that Mrs Denton should deed her interests in the property to her hus- band and their daughter and herself to retain a life interest in it.

GEM STUDDED SAW.

One Made In Indianapolis Contains
 Two Hundred Dfamonds. = An Indianapolis Ond) company that manufactures saws recently complet- ed large saw containing 200 teeth, with a Brazilian diamond imbedded in each tooth, says the Indianapolis Sen tinel. The saw was shipped to Bed ford. Ind, to be used in one of the big stone quarries there.
 The saw is eight feet in diameter. hve-sixteenths of an inch thick and weighs almost half ton. Instead of having sharp teeth this peculiar saw has almost smooth edge. Secured across the edge of the outer rim are 200 ineerted steel holders. Imbedded in each is large Brazilian diamond. The diamond points compose the teeth of the saw. which will he used to cut Indiana limestone into desired sizes.
 The diamonds are about carat in size and are very dark. Each stone is valued at S20. Two other saws, dupll- cates of the one recently completed. are in course of construction and repre- sent . cost of s10,OO0.

SETTLED WITH BUILDER.
Han Who Constructed High Watsr
 Service Gets $2,50o.

The board of public works held q meeting this afternoon and settled up the claim of Contractor c. N. Taylor of Springfield, Mass, for the sum of $2,5OO. This includes extra digging and everything else Mir Taylor made strong plea for $1,OO0 for delay oc- casioned on account of the city not be- ing able to furnish material as pert agreement. The delay, he claimed dis- organized his workmen and was in a measure responsible for large share of the i'll luck he had in Waterbury, but the board didn't think he had a good case and the contractor being anxious to shake the dust of the town off his feet took what they were will- ing to give him, had his bond released and left with rather poor opinion of i Waterbury as a place to make for-t tune in. Mir Taylor constructed the high water service and gave very good satisfaction. but 1t seems his old bid was too low and result he didn't fare very well at the business.
