Artillery Roar
Starts Before Day.

Beginning an hour before daybreak,
the roar of artillery fire west of this
city gave evidence that q terrific en-
gagement was in progress. Military
experts here believe that one of the
compelling motives which led General
Savoff tot concentrate his attack upon
the Turkish left was the prevalence of
cholera in the camp opposite the Turk
ish center.
Reports by Turkish scouts who made
a reconnaissance of the twenty mile
front of the Bulgarian army from
neighbOring heights indicated that the
Bulgarians did not withdraw from the
offensive as had been reported, but the
movement Of troops to the wings only
made it appear so.
1t is indicated by all accounts from
the front that only a few regiments OF
infantry and artillery have been left to
guard the Bulgarian artillery at the
center General Savoff not fearing an
infantry attack from the Turks in this
quarter.
Witnesses of conditions in the Turk
ish line say that the greatest hardships
are not caused by Bulgarian bullets
Cold rains have been falling at inter-
walls for a week and many Of the re-
serVists who are used to the warm eli
mate Of Asia Minor are suffering in

Why Gambler Voted
To Tear Down Plant.

When the vote was taken, Acting
Mayor Gambler said he had written out
an explanation of his vote, to be sure
he would not be misunderstood He said
he would vote to tear down the plant
because the city council had entered
into a solemn contract with the De-
structor Company to do it.
Alderman Johnston explained his vote
with the statement that he had not had
to write out an explanation, but that
the contract with Mr.. Story was vague
and indehnite that it gave him forty
days in which to do the work, and that
the board Of health ought to have pro-
ceeded in a more businesslil1e way to
get the plant torn down
He said he was satisfied that the city
had contracted to pay 100000 too much
for new crematory, but he did not
care to discuss that matter now. as it
was not the question before the board,

STANDARDIZATION NOT
CAUSE OF COUNTESS
DEATH, SAYS EXPERT

GOSHEN, n. Y, Nov. 22.-Dr. Hen
ry w. Cattel, of Philadelphia, a med
ical expert, who testified that he had
performed $500 autopsies, most of
them upon strangulations, swore this
afternoon at the trial of Burton w.
Gibson, accused Of the murder of
Countess Rosa Menschik Szabo, that
the apparent evidences Of strangula-
ton on the body of the countess were
due to post mortem causes.
This was the defenses trump card,
and they hoped by Or. Cattelis testi-
mony to offset all the damaging ex-
pert evidence of the prosecution.

hours, during which some of the
speeches were spiritedly bitter the al

the order.
The vote was:
To destroy the plant-Candler. Mad

Warren.
To save the plant-McClelland Van
Dyke, Everett and JOHNSON.
The speakers reviewed every phase
OF the crematory wrangle since it be-
gan more than two years ago. But the
members Of the aldermanic board were
familiar with all the details and they
appeared little interested except during
some of the statements of Mr. Wood
ward and when there were clashes be-

"Pledging the city's moral obligation

thing as issuing bonds" declared Mr..

ward jumped to his feet and declared.
George Spence, attorney for the De-

tract for the new plant, said the fight
to save the old plant was all a bluff.

Soldier Shoots
Down Commander.

There is also a lack of discipline
among the Turkish soldiers which
strikes observers as a most untoward
factor in military affairs. A war cor
respondent told Of seeing a soldier
shoot down an officer because he was
angered at a command. Instead of be-
ing punished, the soldier was allowed
to go free.
Breastworks have been erected all

Two Turkish ironclads have been or

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22,-The
greatest battle Of the Balkan war is
raging today along the Chatalja lines
between Bulgarian and Turkish artil-
lery with savage fury, following the
rejection by the Porte, of the allies
armistice terms. Taking advantage Of
the 24-hour lull in the fighting, brought
about by the tentative negotiations be-
tween General Savoff, the Bulgarian
commander in chief and Nazim Pa
sha. the Turkish minister of war, all
the Ottoman reserve forces had been
moved TO the front and the Turkish
positions were said by the government
70 be stronger now thansiat sany time
previous.
Biyuk Chekmeja at the extreme
southern end Of the Chatalja lines, is
the center of the battle and there the
heaviest fighting is going on.
Five batteries of the Bulgarians'
heaviest siege guns, which were for
merly used in bombarding the Otto
man defenses at Adrianople, have at
last reached the front and are concen-
trated upon the Turkish works between
Chatalja and Biyuk Chekmeje.
General Savoft is evidently attempt
ing to weaken the Turkish left wing for
flank movement.

Sea Girt. n. J., July 10.-Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, in her summer home here,
declares that she is the happiest wom-
an in the world. Not because life at
Sea Girt means a holiday, for the
wives of busy governors and poll
ticians have no holidays; not because
Mr.. Wilson has been nominated for
the highest office within the gift Of the
people. though that would be enough
to make any wife happy; but because
here she has all her family around her.
The girls have come home for the
summer, and Mr.. Wilson, too, is taking
little rest in preparation for the more
strenuous days of the campaign.
It would be hard to find a more
charming family than that Of the New
Jersey governor. Mrs. Wilson, a Geor-
gia girl. reared in a land where social
graces are innate, is loved by all who
know her. Her rare good sense, dig
nifty and culture would be appreciated
in the White House, If it should be her
good fortune to become mistress there.
In addition to being a good wife and a
charming hostess, the gods have Law
ished upon Mrs. Wilson other gifts;
she has high talent as a landscape
painter. Not the mere china painting
talent, nor yet the talent that cannot
rise above place cards or an enter
tanning sketch book. But big, genuine
artistic talent
With parents so cultured and edu-
Gated as are the elder Wilson's, much
might be expected Of the children.
And no one who has ever met the
three Wilson girls has been disap-
pointed in them.
Eleanor Randolph Wilson. the eldest

1t may be noted, therefore, that
every member Of the family of the
New Jersey governor is prepared to
earn a living. This includes Mrs. VIII
son. for her artistic talent could be
made to produce an income.
The summer home of the governor
here at Sea Girt is a low white cottage
of many broad verandas, comfortable,
home-like rooms, and a wide staircase.
The broad grounds, originally stiff and
austere. with unyielding geometrical
flower beds and a general mission
built air, have been transformed into
a place of beauty, just because Mrs.
Wilson knew what could be done with
a pool. a sundial and the right kind
of flowers.
No wonder Mrs. Wilson feels that
she's the happiest woman in the
world. Who wouldn't be under like
conditions?

the trouble into which he had gotten,
out declaring that he still loved her
and pleading with her to be true to
him and to stick to him in this his
hour of trial. All Of which was well
and good, but
At the same time, It seems, the pris-
oner wrote another letter to a woman
in Mobile, with whom, judging from
the endearing tone of the letter writ
ten to ser, he was very much in
fatuated. He told her that he sup
posed he was up against it and would
have TO serve some time, but that
when he got out he hoped she would
receive him again, as thoughts of her
would do much to brighten the cheer
less hours he would spend as a con-
Wet, etc, etc, He closed the communi-
cation with a request that she send
him some stationery and stamps so
that he might again write to her.
Luck seemed to be against the pris-
oner, for his wife. who is in the city
came into possession of both of the
letters. However, she did not say a
word, or reply to him in any way, but
called at the Jail the next day to bring
him some dinner, which she had pre-
pared.
The wife of the prisoner was allowed
to go in and remain with him while
he enjoyed the dinner, and while he
ate she engaged in a friendly CONVEX
sation with him, just as though moth
ing at all had happened. After he had
finished dinner and his wife had gath
cred up the dishes, and just as she was
leaving him, she turned to her hus-
band, handing him some stationery
and stamps, and said: Now you car
