An Unprecedented Cold Election Day and a Conse- quently Light Vote. Not within the memory of our oldest residents has there been as severe an elec- tion day in Centre county as was Tuesday. At many places the thermometer registered as low as 12° below 0 and at noon the mercury was standing at the 0° mark in Bellefonte, even though there was bright sunshine. The result of it was that there was a very light poll in the country dis- tricts and in the towns there was very lit- "tle excitement and no signs of the usual election ‘‘doings’’ on the streets. There were surprises in the result in Philipsburg. Howard, Boggs and Patton Twps and Bellefonte. Here the Democrats captured every office in the Republican West ward. while the Republicans got partly even by electing their councilman and assessor in the Democratic South. Geo. R. Meek was re-elected treasurer by | amajority of 152 and Jno. D. Love defeated Thomas Howley, the Democratic nominee for overseer, by a majority of 50. The re- sults throughout the county were as fol- lows: 1 RESULT IN BELLEFONTE BORO. |N.W. 8. W. (W.W ‘I'reasurer, H. B Pontius, R.........cceccoeersnsannansins 154( 116] 45 Geo. KR.

Io.—Tne American 3 steamer Pleiades, which was detained several days at Port Arthur by the Russian authorities, has arrived here having left quietly during a storm. On _ Saturday night a part of the Russiav ! fleet came out. The German flagship Hansa has taken on board a number of women refugees, leaving the men who have been reassured and who are proceeding with their business affairs Heavy Loss for Japanese Army. Defeated at Three Places in Attempts to Land Troops Near Port Archur. Quer 400 Men Were §ificu. London, Feb. 15.—The Daily Mail’s Port Arthur correspondent, under date of February 12, says: “Official advices state that the Jap- |. anese landed 600 soldiers near Talien- Wan with disastrous results, 410 of them being sabred by Cossacks. The | remainder escaped to their ships. It is further stated that the Japanese| landed at Dove Bay, where 30 of them were killed and the remainder re- treated.” The Daily Mail's New Chwang cor respondent cables: : “According to official Port Arthur telegrams, the Japanese landed a force | at Pigeon Bay, West Port Arthur. | They were then attacked by troops and by the batteries and were defeat ed with heavy loss.” The correspondent of the Daily Ex- press at Pekin, in a cablegram dated February 12, reports that Viceroy .Alexieff is practically isolated, direct communication’ between Port Arthur and Vladivostock being suspended. ‘He: adds that the railroad behind Port Arthur has been blown up and that 6000 Japanese troops have landed near Dalny. The Daily Mail’'s Tokio correspond ent, under date of February 12, says that the Japanese warship Amaki has captured the German steamer Yoko: hama, which had a cargo, including dynamite, for Port Arthur. : The Daily Telegraph’s Shanghai cor- respondent, under date of February 12, says it is reported that the Japanese have bombarded Dalny and landed ma- rines. Their Nagasaki correspondent expresses the conviction that Russia is quite unable to hold the Liao-Tung peninsula, and that Port. Arthur is bound to fall by the effluxion of time, even without an assault. The Tokio correspondent of the Times, cabling under date of Febru- ary 12, says: “It is said that the Japa nese squadron bas sealed Port Ar thur.’ ” The Times’ Wei-Hai- Wel correspond- ent says that on the morning of Febru ary 10 the Japanese occupied Ching: Haia-Wen, a Russian S0aling station close to Masampho. i” : JAPS CAPTURED. SIX VESSELS Steamers When Seized Were Carrying Coal For Russia. Nagasaki, Feb. 15.—Six Norwegian steamers chartered by a Russian naval contractor have been captured. The vessels are the Lena, Activ, Sentis, Seirstadt, Argo and Hermis. They carried coal cargoes. The Hermis ar- rived here under convoy of a cruiser. It is rumored that 1800 Japanese sol- diers have been killed, presumably by the sinking of a transport. Disturb- ances are reported . proceeding ir 79 I Seoul ‘A dispatch from: Chemulpo gives the | following account of the destruction of the Russian cruiser ‘Variag and the | gunboat Korijetz. The Japanese fleet, commanded by Admiral Uriu, on the flagship Adneuma, arrived at noon and sent a wireless telegram to the Japa: nese cruiser Chigoda, which was lying at anchor between the Variag and Korietz, to join the fleet outside. The Russians found themselves trapped. Admiral Uriu then signalled, giving the Russians five minutes in which to surrender. The Russians ignored ‘the demand to surrender, and the Japa: nese then opened fire. A brisk .en- gagement lasting two hours followed. The Russian vessels, getting the worst of an encounter in which the odds were overwhelmingly against them, steamed back into the harbor. The Variag, h was badly injured, listed heav- 0 hours later the : ‘Russians. at: : 2 Jae nese. fleet, which. was. encoun ered four miles from the inner harbor. - A fierce fight followed.

POWELL ARRESTED Charged With the Murder of Her Adopted Daughter at Magnolia, Del. Dover, Del, Feb. 15.—Mrs. Mary Anna Powell, wife of Alfred L. Powell, was arrested by State Detectives Rat: lidge and Francis, charged with the murder of Estella Allaband, her 21: year-old adopted daughter, whose ter ribly mutilated body was found last Tuesday in the attic of the Powell farm house, near Magnolia, 10 miles from here. The accused woman was placed in the Dover jail, and will be given a hearing tomorrow. The ar rest of Mrs. Powell is the result of an investigation carried on by the state authorities, who were not satisfied with the verdiet of suicide rendered by a coroner’s jury. f Mrs. Powell was taken into custody after the funeral of the girl, which she attended. She took her arrest coolly and did mot seem surprised. As she left the house she said to one of the farm hands: “Good-bye, Peter; 1 am going. I may come back and 1] may not.” The detectives say they have se cured a statement from Edgar Cooper, the 5-year-old adopted son of the Pow ells, who was alone in the house with | Mrs. Powell on the day the girl is al | leged to have been killed.
