SIKGC OF JAROSLAW. The correspondent of the Xevoe Vremya sends a brlff but graphic account of tho fall of Jaroslaw. The bombardment began Sunday night and continued for In hours, he says By noon Monday live forts had been smashed and thi guns In several others had been put out of commis sion Tho aim of the Austrlans was bad and they seemed unable to locate our big guns. On the contrary, our gunners made every bhot tell. All through Mon day, that night and Tuesday the ter rific hail of snelis rainea upon jaros law. Lute Tuesday afternoon the Aus trian flrf slackened and the order to take the forts by storm was given. We met with sharp opposition, hut the Austrlans were unable to with stand the Russian liyonets and the Russian Hag soon was hoisted. Some of the forts are only wrecks, showing the frUi.tful effect of the siege guns. Though Przemysl is stringer th i;i Jji-cs1.i.. it is hardly possible that that fortress wi'l be able to hold out long. An official statement Issue.l today says that the Russians are slowly falling back from Iist Prussia before oei whelming German troops, but aio britu.n with them their stores and hospitals.

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 23 -Rhythmical marching, spectacular uniforms and large turnouts of lodges, encampments and cintons from Philadelphia, Chester, Hnrrlsburg, Krlo, Pittsburgh, Pottstown and other Pennsylvania cities evoked ollcys of applause this afternoon when thousands of Odd Fellows marched In review on Atlantic nvenue In tho nn nual demonstration of the order. Spe cial trains this morning brought blK delegations of uniformed bodies from many nearby States, South Jersey send ing hundreds to swell the hosts. Tribes and encampments had exercised their fancy to a large extent In the selection of uniforms and the brilliant garb of the beplumed Patriarchs Militant as usual captured the fancy of thou sands of spectators. Shouts went up when Mlllc Lodge, Philadelphia, one of the largest In the State, came swinging along In the sedate habiliments of Quakers, long frock coats and broad brimmed low crowned hats. Lodges of district num ber 11 as a whole made a particularly creditable appearance, and the Delaware County contingents also won commenda tion. There was a hint of pathos when 60 boys and girls from the Odd Fellows Orphans' Homo on Chcltcn avenue. Phila delphia, passed marching steadily, the bos neatly dressed and topped oif with white caps, while the girls wore white middy blouse suits. "Step" was kept by a mixed bund of boys and ,li.s wb : I layed escoptl.iia i; well.

Thirteen Western and Southern delegates pleaded for favorable action, charging that Odd Fellowship was losing a mngnlllcont opportunity. Four, Including Wilson K Mohr, Allentown, Pa., opposed, and the Graybeards carried the day. Fear of a clash on the floor between Germanic sympathizers and the Cana dian patriots who are strong in the con vention caused the Sovereign Grand Lodge to reject numerous resolutions bearing upon the European war, and or der all reference to them expunged from the mlnutts. Any other course. It was In sisted, would be a violation of neutrality.
