 Maurice Welch of unknown address. day laborer, was drowned yesterday afternoon in the Connecticut river at Hartford just below the breakwater, about mile south of Colts armory.

 After repeated efforts the depth of the ice in the well on the premises of Walter Pike in South Coventry has been determined. A longer drill than the first one was used Friday and a hole was drilled through the ice. The ice is now five feet thick and sti1 ad- heres solidly to the walls of the well. At the present rate of thawing, there Is reasonable prospect of the ice re- maining through the summer. Charles T. Brown. 60 years old and a we'll known horse trader. was at- tackled by the stallion Alcyoro while leading the animal out to grass Satur- day and received serious and possibly fatal injuries. MT Brown was leading the animal when 1t knocked him down and trampled upon him, breaking both arms and biting off one finger besides finflicting internal injuries. MT Browns life was probably saved by a small boy who ran out into the lot and got hold of the halter and managed tU secure the animal to a post.
 Boys prematurely celebrating the Fourth of July were indirectly the means of causing woman's death at Danbury last evening. For the past few days boys along the trolley line on South street have been placing dynamite caps on the rails. Last night when the car passed over the explo- slves the passengers were startled and two women on the end of seat near the middle of the car jumped. One of them. Mrs Mary Davis. woman @ G5nars of age. who was returning from a church to her home in Bethel, struck on her head and was rendered uncon- scious. Her skull was fractured and she lived but few minutes.

PORT ARTHUR AT LAST
 CAPITULATES.
StOeSSeI Receives Honorable Terms Land Armies in
 Conflict.

Washington, Dec. 3I.-The New York Sun has just published spe- cial, quoting a Tokio correspond ent, who cables that Port Arthur was surrendered yesterday to the Japanese by General Stoessel. The exact condition of the surrender not yet received.
 THE SURRENDER.
 Tokio, Jan. .,.-The first state ment of the surrender of Port Ar thur was given out last night, when the following was posted;
 Port Arthur surrendered at g o'clock last night, General Stoessel sending a simple note to General Togi, the com mander of the beseiging forces, saying that further resistance was useless and asking that t If officers be sent to ar range for terms of equalization. General Togi wired the emperor, who at once directed him to receive the surrender, giving as honorable terms as possible to General Stoessel and his command.
 Togi's commissioners departed at once to meet the the Russian commissioners. Indications show that the Japanese will be most liberal in granting terms and 1t is believed tha; the entire garrison will be permitted to march out under arms, and will be returned to Russia under pa role.
 General Stoessel in his note stated that the fortress was exhausted an decimated bv disease and its fate hopelessly sealed
 Tokio. Jan. S-The terms of surrender include the obligation on the Japanese to give relief to the over-crowded hospitals and 'rans- port women and non-combatants away.
 Great criticism is being expressed over the action of the Russians in blowing up the fleet in the harbor after notice of surrender. It is claimed that this will rob the Rus Sians of the mikado's offer of mili. tary honors. IL shows insincerity on their part.
 Tokio. Jan. 4.- Russian officers will he permitted ,o return to Rus sta under parole. retaining side arms. rank and lie go to Japan as prisoners.

ANOTHER REDUCTION
 ON FREIGHT.
To Affect Points Across the Divide and Continue All
 the Season.

s. E. Heeter announces that from now till the close of the sleighing season freight for the creeks across the divide will be accepted at rates hitherto unheard of. The abundant snowfall within the past ten days, which will undoubtedly be benefit to the trails, may have had some thing to do with the radical change in the charges, but other causes in all probability also contributed to the big reduction.
 Freight for Eureka creek, What Cheer bar, Seattle bar, Pioneer creek as high up as Henry Papin's, Doric creek, Glen gulch, Gold Run, Rhode Island creek, etc., will be carried for 31a cents pound; Thank sgiving, 5 ceEts; Deadwood, 6 cents; Elephant gulch and Hoot lanana, 10 c.nts.
 These rates, it is announced, are to prevail for the balance of the season. People on the creeks, therefore, need be ill no especial hurry to have their spring and summer outfits moved over. At the same time there Is no visible incentive for delay. as there is no likelihood of further reduction.
 OTHER FREIGHTERS.
 Walter Sundborg, when asked, did not hesitate to say he consid- cred existing rates fully low enough He was busy preparing load ,o take over to Hoagland & Olson. Spicer and others; and when asked if he intended to meet the cut he said he would consider the Eiatter.
 Jim McHugh hardly believed the statement was made in earnest when he was told that another cut was on. but when he was convinced 1t was no jest he simply remarked: Well. that suits me first rate; that is just what I wanted, But he may have tested himself.
