STRUCK DOWN BY
AN UNKNOWN MAN
Another Victim Of RichmOnd's Mys-
teriOus AssaiIant.
YOUNG LADY's ORGANS BRING AID.
Miss Bessie Leighton Was Struck With
q Blunt Instrument and Left for
Dead in the Street Near Her Home
Several Other Women Report Being
Annoyed by Young Italian.

Richmond, Va. ((Special). - In
sight of her mother and sister, Miss
Bessie Leighton, 1889 North Twenty
ninth Street, was struck with some
blunt instrument by an unknown
man Saturday night and left for
dead in the street.
Miss Leighton's assailant is be-
1ieved to be the same person who
has been operating in her neighbor-
hood for some time and who has on
two previous occasions attacked I'M
protected women. He is described
as an Italian, about 80 years of age.
Several weeks ago Miss Maggie
Purdue, of Richmond and Miss Effie
Roy, of Washington, were returning
home in the evening when a man
grabbed Miss Purdue's pocketbook
and escaped in the dark. Miss Pur-
dues description of the snatch thief
corresponds in every particular with
Miss Leighton's description of her as
sailant.
Miss Carrie MacLean and Miss
Mary Cornell and other residents OF
the neighborhood have reported that
they were followed some distance a
week ago by an Italian, who left
them when they went into store
and reported the matter. The neigh
borhood in which the crimes have
taken place is not lighted and each
time the assailant has sought pro
lection in the darkness.
Miss Leighton's injury consists of
an abrasion of the flesh on the left
side of the head. The instrument
used In the assault is believed to
have been a fiat rock which was
found at the scene of the crime. Her
hat was torn to pieces and her hat
pins were broken. After being
struck Miss Leighton was unable to
make an outcry and groaned piteous-
ly until her mother and sister went
to her assistance. The assailant has
not been captured.

Pittsburg, Pa. Especially. - The
Pittsburg Clearing House committee
announced the details of plan upon
which it has been working for some
days, whereby the vast Industrial
army of the Pittsburg district is to be
paid in bank checks of small denom-
nations in lieu of currency. The OBJ
ject sought to be attained by the &C
ton is to insure the steady operation
of all mills and factories in the dis
trict during the existing money strin-
gency. 1t was decided to have the
various manufacturing establishments
pay their workingmen with checks
in denominations of IS, $40 and $40
in place of cash. These checks, when
properly signed by employers, will
be used as currency and will be ac-
cepted as cash by tradesmen.
The payroll of the Pittsburg dis
trict now exceeds 100000 day
and is fast growing, and the belief of
the bankers is that this plan will
keep many thousands of workingmen
in steady employment who might
otherwise be denied work this winter.
The plan, which has met with the
unanimous approval of bankers, mer-
chants and manufacturers, has been
thoroughly systematized and will be-
come UNIVERSAL at once. 1t is made
necessary by the fact that clearing
house associations of other cities, es-
pecially New York, have prevented
the return of currency from those
points to Pittsburg, and the idea
of Pittsburg bankers is to protect
Pittsburg manufacturers and mer-
chants, shopkeepers and workingmen
against this policy of other cities.
The check plan was devised merely
as convenience to enable large
manufacturing establishments to pay
employees without the necessity of re-
quiring so much cash. The check.
under the plan, is to answer every
purpose of a bank note, and is ex-
pected to be accepted as cash in all
stores.
When a manufacturer has made up
his payroll he will give his check to
his own bank and receive in return
checks for the amounts due each in
dividual employee in denominations of
SIS, $40 and $40, odd amounts being
taken care of with cash.
The clearinghouse committee in
its announcement states:
Knowing the good sense of en-
ployers, as well as the men employed
in this large center, we realize that
they will understand at once the ne
cessity of doing all they can to assist
the banks in their endeavor to keep
as many employed as possible, and
to this end we ask the cooperation
of all. both employers and working
mon

Mystery OF Chinese Court.

Picking (By Cable) .-Considerable
mystery surrounds the death three
weeks ago of the Princess Shun, the
Empress sister, on account of the
reserve maintained regarding women.
AS the Princess was a favorite of the
foreign ladies here, many of the latter
desired to console with the court,
but the officials were unable to en-
tighten the legations in regard to the
passing away of the Princess. The
suspension of the courts receptions
to foreigners for the past year and
a half is accepted as evidence of the
accuracy of the reports regarding the
Dowager's i'll health.

NAVAL BATTLE IN VLADIvOsToK
Russian Torpedo Boat Under Red
Flag.

Vladivostok (By Cable) AN ex-
citing little naval battle took place
in this harbor between the mutinous
crew of q Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer and their loyal comrades.
The mutineers finally were subdued,
but not before a number of men had
been killed or wounded. The mutt
nous boat is the Skory, and she gave
fight to the gunboat Mandschur, the
destroyers GarsvovZ, Smelly and Ser
ditz and the garrison of one OF the
harbor forts, manned by the Twelfth
Regiment of Artillery. The Skory
soon was overwhelmed, and she had
to be beached to save her from sink
ing. This was not accomplished
however, before her guns had done
considerable damage and several Of
ficers and men or the other ships had
been killed or wounded.
The crew of the Skory were melted
by agitators, some of whom had man
aged to get on board and take charge
of the destroyer. She steamed out
into the harbor with the red flag n.y.
ing, and at once opened fire on the
town and forts. A gunboat and three
destroyers went out to engage her,
and with the aid of the forts soon
had the Skory riddled and helpless.
She then turned and ran through the
surf, and was beached. Those men,
bers of the crew who had not been
killed or wounded by the gunire
were arrested by soldiers as they
made their way to land. Among the
men killed are Captain Kurosch. COM
mander of the torpedo boat Ravy. and
Lieutenant Stoer, commander of the
Skory. Lieutenant Massilief, COM
manding the Serditz. was wounded.
Several people in Vladivostok were
killed by shells from the Skory. The
town has been declared in state Of
siege
