A dispatch to the London Telegraph
from Toxic says that while the japanese
we're conveying the surrendered battle
ship Orel some the Russian officers and
sailors behaved disgracefutly. Capt.
Yunick was lying in his bunk, seriously
wounded. Ten engineers plotted to ex.
plode the ships magazine, They hred
a fuse under the magazine near the stern.
When it was found by the japanese q
disorderly scene occurred. Eight of the
rineleaders were Immediately shot. This
was the reason the Orel was taken to
Maizuru instead Sssebo, as was intend
ed. The correspondent asserts that the
reported barblrity of the Russians in
throwing overheard their wounded is ex-
aggera;ed. 1t was done without the
knowledge OF the officers. While the
vessel was being taken to Japan, about
twelve sailors, unable to bear their wounds
cried to their comrades to save them from
pain by killing them, and in the absence
of japanese escorts the Russians were
thrown into the sea. The japanese on
board demonstrated, sand the captain oi
the Orel was greatly agitated by the
cruelt and mutiny OF his crew. lie
apologized to the japanese. His death
thirty minutes before the Orel reached

Given s5. 600 for a Broken Nos :.

A jury in the Circuit Court, in Jersey
City, yesterday gave a Judgment for
s, 600 damages TO Freda Lippert, young
woman Of Union Hill, against Charles
L. Peters, the son of wealthy brewer,
for injuries alleged to have been sus-
tained in an assault by Peters. Miss
Lippert three years ago sued Peters for
breach of promise, and got verdict for
$l5, 900 damages. The judgment was
satisfied. Since then the pair seemed
to have renewed their friendship, being
on good terms until the incident on which
the suit was based occurred. Miss Lip
pert alleged that while she and the de-
fendant were IN q music hall in Union
Hill. Peters struck her in the face, and
that diamond ring on his finger made
cut on her face, aud that her nose
was broken. She claimed TO have been
permanently dis6gured by the blow.
Peters alleged that the young woman
had a ring belonging TO him and had re-
fused to give ii up. The plaintiff denied
that she had any ring that was the prop
erty of Peters.

Murder Mystery.

The Wilkesbarre, Pa, authorities are
searching for the missing head of a body
found yesterday morning in an effort to
solve the first murder mystery of that kind
which has baffied the police of that place
in sometime. The body, that of we'll
developed man, was found near Cork
lane, seven miles from Wilkesbarre, yes
terday morning, and the police have
many reasons for believing the murdered
man was a victim of the Black Hand
Society, which has been terroriziBg ltal-
ians Of Pittston and vicinity for some
time. The body looks like that of an
Italian, and the murder was clearly not
for robbery, as seven dollars, some cigars,
a 32-caliber revolver and a couple of
gold rings were 10 the pockets, but there
was no scrap of paper or anything else
which might lead to Identification. The
head had not been hacked off, as the
cut about the neck was ss cleau as II
made with sharp butcher knife. The
body was placed prominently on culm
DaUk near tue IOduSiuC, anu Noo N'oNp'
cred by the first wOrkmen going TO the
Cork and Bottle Colliery. 1t had been
placed there between O'clock and day
light, as it rein 4 = It'll o'clock, and,the
clothes were dry. The police believe
that the head was thrown down one OF
the several mine openings in the vicinity
and are now searching for it. For some
tine a reign of terror had existed among
Italians in that vicinity. Numerous
Black Hand Society letters have been
received threatening death unless money
was paid for protection. Several people
who received the letters have moved
away and others threatening with death
are guarding themselves carefully. A
few weeks ago Joseph Castilini, who de-
fed the society, was murdered at mid
night, being shot from ambush. At
tempts were made on two others and it is
believed that the present murder is the
work of the same men.
