BOOKKEEPING EXPERT.
First Witness Called for Defense in
 the Chadwick Case.

Cleveland. O., March 9.-T. C. DOo little, the bookkeeping expert, called yesterday as the first witness for the defense, occupied the stand when the trial of Mrs Chadwick was resumed to-day. He testified that the entries of $1O.OOO and 5000 on the books or the Oberlin bank. under date of NO> vember 3. 1903, were items of credit to Mrs Chadwick, was was proven by similar entries On the discount register. November 16, 1903 the journal showed the entry of d note of S4O.OO0. This did not appear on the discount regis ter. but the journal entry showed. wit ness said, that Mrs Chadwick WAS en- titled on that day to 1000 either ill cash or credit. Other entries on that date showed that an item of $4O.00O was deposited. though it was not speci- fled by whom. If the cash or certified check was given Mrs Chadwick on that day. the entries were entire and covered the transactions in proper manner.
 This evidence directly opposed the direct testimony of Assistant Cashier Avery and Receiver Lyon of the Ober~ lin bank. who said that Mrs Chadwick had neither money nor credit at the bank at the time any of the certified checks were issued

HOW HE LOST.
nusMan commander Lays Blame for Loss of Conflict on Kuropatkin- Says Latter Ordered Retreat
 at Moment of Victory.

St. Petersburg. The arrival in St. Petersburg of Gen. Gripenberg, for mer commander of the Second Man churian army, and his dismissal to the front by the ear, has caused sensa- tion in military circles. The general frankly avOws that he relinqulshed his command after the recent attempt of the Russians to flank Field Marshal Oyama. because Gen. Kuropatkin re- fused to send him help when victory was in Gen. Gripcnbergs hands, and instead ordered him to withdraw. Gripenberg personally reported on the situation to Emperor Nicholas. and after long consideration the czar sided with Kuropatkin and ordered the former to the front
 Kuropatkin's s side of the story is that he intended only to make demon- stration in force, and that Gripenberg pressed the attack too far and became too much involved.
 'I am glad to give an account of the battle of my army. the telegrams I have seen being far from the truth" :" said Gripenberg, in all interview. "Kuropatkin. uf course, authorized the advance. but he imposed the condition that if should hot go beyond Hei. soutai and Sandepas. My plan was tn capture Heikontai and thence out eank Sandepas. From the First army corps before Heikoutai I detached a brigade which occupied Heikoutai. The Japanese cut in from the south, and the brigade came under cross fire, but held out until I got up an other brigade to cover it's retreat. The Japanese were now concentrating on their left. During the evening I and my army were ordered under no cir cumstances to fall back from our po- sitions. The next morning my whole front was engaged, the troops being disposed as follows: On the extreme right, the First corps. Then the First rife corps and the Fifth divi-

Two Serious Accidents Have Restlt- cd From Employment of Green Subway Hands-BOth Sides
 Confident Of Victory.

NEW YORK. March 9.-Conditions are much better both on the New York IL" and subway systems than they were last night The Sixth and Ninth avenue roads were able to handle prac- tically all of the passengers who re- turned home from downtown stations.
 General Manager Hedley has an- nounced that reports circulated by the strikers that men in the power houses would quit were absolutely without foundation. He also said that from now on free rides would cease; that all the ticket agents had been bonded and would collect fares as in ordinary times
 The company declares that before long many of the strikers will apply for their old positions. These will be restored to them on condition that they submit to physical and mental ex- animation.
 The 1nterborough's reply to Mayor McClellan's offer to act as arbiter was in effect as follows:
 ''We appreciate the solictude for the public convenience which prompted you to intervene, but in view of the vital questions affecting the permanent interesss of the travelling public, which are involved. we are compelled, with great respect. to decline your offer"
 Comptroller Grout has written to the Interborough company stating that the expense of the present strike of sub- way and IL" road men must be borne by the corporation and that the city will not accept any diminution of rental.
 Two serious accidents and several but fortunately no passengers were in jured The greens motorman of one train that was in collision with another at One Hundred and Seventy.sixth street and Boston road was cut about the face and head and when freed from the motor box threw up his job. He ran past signal lights and crashed into train standing at the station. Another strike breaker ran his train at full speed across a switch at Third avenue and One Hundred and Fortieth street. One car filled with passengers toppled over on it's side. All escaped | through the windows.
 Surface line travel was again far be- yond capacity. although every availa- ble car is utilized. and the public suf- fers great discomfort. On the first day of the strike the surface cars carried 100000 passengers above the normal. and these figures were exceeded yes terday.
 Determined effort is being made to- day to induce all the engineers and firemen in every power house in the city to. join in sympathetic strike The movement was set in motion at the meeting of the building trades section ! of the Central Federated union last night.
 The condition of the strike is uncer- tain. Both sides are claiming victory There isn't the slightest indication of the Interborough giving in. while the strikers are as confident as ever.

sion of the Second corps, which had st''arrited' from Russia. Altogether I had 62 battalions. The enemy had twice as many.
 ''The battle of the next day was con- tinued until the evening. We did not surrender an inch of ground. My left flank, which was clearing the road to Sandepas. being weak, asked the commander-in-chief. who had 60 bat talions available. for reenforcements He declined to send any. Early the following day the fiercest fighting oc- cured. We again held our. own. The road to Sandepas the Japanese poi1t of concentration. was quite clear of the enemy I therefore again ap- pealed to the commander-in-chief for reenforcements. If he had listened to my entreaties we would have riven the iron ring of 100, 1000 of the enemy. In. desperation they four times as- saulted our outer positions and were beaten off each time in such brilliant fashion that it does ny heart good to remember the gallantry of my brave comrades.
 "I might easily have followed up these repulses by a headlong offen- sive movement but I was tied down by the commander-in-chief's restric- tiOns and his refusal to send us reen- forcements.
 "The reply of Gen. Kuropatkin ar rived at five in the evening in the shape of an order to leave a small force in our positions and move up the army to his support in view of the expected Japanese advance on the center. How was it possible for the Japnese to attack the center when all their available forces were diverted west?
 Tt is impossible to describe the i'm precision produced upon me by the or der. At first I was afraid to com municate 1t to nay victorious army. but there was nothing else to do. We retreated during the night of January % with tears in our eyes and bitter ness in our hearts.

Steel Roadways,

The broad steel tracks for vehicles laid several years ago in Murray street. New York city, have been removed. and the street is to be paved with wooden blocks. The steel tracks were not regarded as a success, principally because of the crowded condition of the street, which prevented their regular use. The Scien- tific American contends that this test was not conclusive. and that such tracks should be tried on long country bills and in districts where smooth. hard road beds cannot readily be maintained.

Twelve months are sped-we look behind
And call Gods goodness fresh to mind.
His care was felt through storm and shine;
With grateful hearts we seek His shrine,
And humbly kneeling there we say
Our prisons Thanksgiving day:
For desoation's track untrod,
Our thanks are Thine, Almighty God.
For seasons fruitful, gifts of love
For Joy renewed, for grace above
Our poor desert, thanks unto Thee.
Through sorrow, death and misery
Whate'er our lot-or good or i'll :
Thou'sb been our source Of comfort stib' :,
Though we have known the Christening rod,
Thy mercies have been sure, U God.

Electro Magnets.

The familiar horseshoe magnet is
made of highly tempered steel and
magnetized so that one end is north
pole, the other a south, OF perhaps
more commonly known as negative
and positive. Once magnetized 1t is
always magnetic unless the power IS
drawn from it by exposure to intense
heat. An electro-magnet, however, can
be made from an scrap of soft iron
from piece of ordinary telegraph wire
to a gigantic iron shaft. When cur
rent of electricity passes through an
insulated wire coiled about soft oh
ject such as nail, bolt or rod, that
object becomes magnet so long as a
current of electricity is passing through
the boils of wire or helix. A coil of
wire in the form of spiral spring
has a stronger field than a straight
wire carrying the same current, for
each turn or convolution adds its mag
netic field to that of the other turns;
and by having the center of the coil
of iron, which is a magnetic body,
the strength Of the magnetism is
greatly increased.-St. Nicholas.

New Test for Timber.

It is claimed by lumbermen that
timber which has lain in water seas
ons more quickly and lasts longer
than that which is freshly cut. From
priori reasoning it would be quite
natural to suppose that the water
would soak out certain Of the gum
my matters of the wood, especially of
the sap wood, making it more easily
dried. Moreover, the washing out Of
the sap from the young wood removes
most of the sugars, proteids, ETC.,
which normally furnish food for the
bacteria and other fungi which cause
the rotting of lumber. The bureau of
forestry believes that it Is worth
while from a practical point OF view
to find out the truth about these i'm
pressions of lumbermen and reason
ings of scientists, and is beginning a
series of tests at its new experiment
stations in Michigan and Wisconsin.
To make the experiments as practical
as possible they will be conducted on
telegraph and telephone poles, articles
| whose period Of usefulness is mat
ter of no small economic Importance.
| The poles will first be soaked in water
for varying lengths of time, and then
| piled and seasoned, careful record be-
ing kept of the time required for seas
oning and the quality of the seasoned
timber.-Colliers Weekly.
