against the Germans in a dispatch re-
ceived from the correspondent of the
NOVOe Nemrya. He declares that the
Germans attacked the Jews after they
entered the town of Opoczno, in the
province of Radon, and melted the

In another village, says the CORE

Dispatches to the war office from

Russian wounded say that they were

it was possible for them to do so.

St Joseph county will receive half

along and kill the marsh corn before

ion of Henry Swain. And if a frost
does that thing it Will have to come
in a hurry. as the corn will be ripe
end of next week.
What is needed worst of all TO put
the few ripening finishing touches on
the corn crop is little warm weather
and sunshine. The corn has had
about all the moisture necessary and
too much would cause il 10 rot in
stead of ripening at this season of the
year
Potatoes are growing rapidly but
warm weather will benefit them great
~. A killing frost will damage them
considerably as they are still too
green to be dug and harvested.
A frost is expected earlier this sea-
son than last year.

BRANCHES SHOW
GAIN IN REVENUE
Increased Activity in Municipal
Government Revealed in Re-
ports for First Eight Months
of the Year.

A decrease in expenditures and a
gain in revenues was noted in the re-
port of the city controller for the first
eight months of 1914 compared with
same period of last year. The con-
trollers report was read at a meeting
of the heads Of the various depart
ments OF the city hall in Mayor KEEL
ler's office Thursday afternoon. The
meeting was called by the mayor and
four departments were represented.
Each presented reports comparing
their work with the work of the same
departments last year
With the possible exception OF the
police department, every department
showed a gain in its own particular
branch of activity. The controller
stated that miscellaneous to date for
the year amounted to $54.176.21. Last
years figures were Sal, 6S6.71. max
ing a gain of S12,4S9.50. The total
disbursements for the present year
from four departments - finance,
board of safety. board of works and
health and charities-amOunted TO
$210475.32. For the same period
last year the figures were $22S, 1852
20, a decrease of S17.8S6.SS.
Police Department Report.
In the police department there was
no great difference either way for the
two S. Sc The salaries of the de-
partmt for this year were larger
than last. and there have been nearly
100 more arrests. StOneyard SEN
fences for the two years were the
same. 90 in each. While last year
there were &c suspended sentences in
city court, there we're Sc to date in
1914. The police department in 1913
in the first eight months recovered
S1.32725 in stolen property while this
year only little more than s1,100 in
property has been returned to its
proper owners.
City Sealer Miller reported that the
aler last year had inspected 1,439
places. while Miller himself had made
more than 1900 inspections. The
sealer also reported that he had
caused five prosecutions for false
weight in which the guilty parties
were convicted.
Asphalt Cost Is Dow.
The average cost Of new asphalt
used for pavement in the city has
been S1.52 a square yard. This rate,
according to City Engineer Moore, is
the cheapest gained by the city in
over 10 years. The low cost is at
tributed to the fact that the city is
making a large portion Of its asphalt
for itself, and does not have to rely
upon outside sources for its supply.
The city engineer also reported that
the street car companies, following
suggestions by the two public boards,
had begun repairs upon their lines.
The city electrician reported that
this year tc date he had made 1852
inspections and had reported 3S con-
formations an average of nine per
cent. Last year at this time, accord
ing to his report. the per centage of
cOndemnatiOns was only "A per cent.
In the month of August, 1913, there
had been 230 inspections with four
concentrations, and for August 1914,
there had been PAP inspections with
% condemnations.
Mayor Keller announced that such
comparisons would be made all
through the present year.

TRAVELLER RESCUES 626
FROM WRECKED LINER
Heavy Sea Makes Work of Saw
ing Oceanic Crew Dan
ger0uS Risk.

ABERDEEN, Scotland, Sept. IL
The rescue of 626 officers and sailors
from the Oceanic. former White Star
liner, which was wrecked off the
coast of Scotland. was affected
through the daring work of Capt. Ar
mour of the trawler. Glenogil. He
told the following story today:
cit was misting and very dark on
Tuesday morning off the north coast
of Scotland, when our attention was
arrested, on our homeward way, 10y
signals of distress in the direction o.
the coast.
1T required skilful seamanship,
which would have been impossible to
a larger boat than ours, TO bring the
Glenogil near enough TO discover the
Oceanic upon the rocks.
Finally. after a long, hard tussle
in a nasty sea. we brought ourselves
alongside Rope ladders were lower
ed the side of the liner down which
the deck OF our boat.
"In a short time practically every
available inch of our space was occu-
pied by men from the big vessel. We
got 400 of them and then steamed off.
We could hold no more. After trans
ferring the rescued seamen to a larger
steamer which was standing by in the
Offing, being unable to get any nearer
the wrecked liner we returned to the
Oceanic. The sea was high and the
rocky lodges of the coast made our
trip slow and dangerous.
Heavy Sea Adds Difficulty.
'As quickly as could, we took off
the remaining members OF the Ocean
les crew and transferred them to the
larger ship.
The rescue work was attended
with greater risk on account of the
heavy sea, the darkness and the
dangerous rocks over which the tide
doomed like thunder. The captain,
William Slater. commander of the
Oceanic. was the last to leave his
ship. He paid us a high compliment
and thanked US warmly"
Reports had been current that the
Oceanic, which has recently been run
over by the government and convert
ed into a cruiser was the victim Cf a
floating mine, but Capt. Armour de-
MED this.
There is a possible chance that the
Oceanic might be saved.
