MARCHING
TO MUKDEN
2 MUKDEN, Tuesday, Sept. Part
of the Russian ariuy which is coming
to Mukden by wagon road is in danger
of being cut off. All day and night
Monday the Japanese in the hills on
the east road, shollcd tlio Russian
troops. In the .Japanese
infantry attacked a largo force of Rus
sian infantry and artillery which had
taken to the hills running parallel to
the Japanese, in protecting the flank
of the retreating army.
Troops,gnus and trauspoits are pool
ing into Mukden by traiu and road.
Considerable transport was loft bo
hind.
The roads are in a frightful state
owing to the heavy raiu Monday. The
main Russian army pushing northward
is evacuating Mukden.
BELIEVE KUROIMTKIN
HAS REACHED SAFETY
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 7.-1:45
p. in—From tlio latest advices receiv
ed by the war office the authorities
now believe that the danger of Field
Marshal Oyama cutting off Goneral
Kuropatkiu has practically passed.
According to their calculations tlio
whole Russiau army should reach
Mukden tomorrow' night.
Generals Koroki and Kuropatkiu
have beou marching northward along
paraloll lines.both armies Duiug great
ly hampered by heavy roads, the Jap
anese in a rough region and the Rus
sians along a flat country but em
harassed by the high Chinese corn,
which prevented marching 011 tho side
of the main roads.
No difficulty is being experienced
at the Han river, a few miles south of
Mukden, where bridges had beou pro
vided for crossing the stream. Thoro
has beou constant lighting at tho Rus
sian roar and along tho eastern wing
but so l'ar as is known by tho war
office nothing of importance hasoccur
rod Binco tho retreat began.
The general stall' naturally is retic
ent about Kuropatkin's plans, especi
ally whether ho intends to stop at
Mukden. Hi« decision probably will
depend upon tho intentions of the Jap
anese. Contingent preparations will
probably bo made to evacuate Mukden
and thoro is considerable evidence that
Kuropatkin, if compollod togo north
will make a stand at Tieliug. where
tho Russians wintered last year. Tid
ing is forty miles north of Mukden.
At this point there is a narrow defile,
with tho Liao river on ouo sido aud
mountains running almost down to the
railroad 011 the other. Stops aro being
taken to guard against a possible at
tempt to cut the line there.
Tho report that tho sailing of the
Baltic squadron had been postponed
until November is officially denied as
also is the roport that soveral of the
ships composing it devulopod defects.
The squadron will sail for Libau Sun
day. Kxaatly when it will sail thence
is not known.
Although too report that Rear Ad
miral Ouktouisky in command of the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur, is to be
court martialed is untrue, the Admir
alty has decided to recall him,probab
ly placing Captain Wiren of the arm
ored cruiser Bayan ill command. It
has boon realized all along that Ouk
tomsky lacked tho requisites of a com
mander of a fleet under such dillicnl
ties but owing to tho impossibility of
sending a flag ollicer to Port Arthur
ho is allowed to remain ill commaud.
Tlio admiralty i« greatly dissatisfied
with his action in returning to Port
Artlinr, August 10. in the face of the
order of the Into Admiral Withoft not
to'do HO and this led to the decision to
supplant him.
YOUTH WAS SHOT

FOUNTAIN REMOVED
YESTERDAY
The public fountain yesterday after
noon was removed from its foundation
near the weigh scales to its new sito
on the west side of the culvert on Mill
street,where a brick foundation is be

waste pipe are connected and until
these are finished the fountain can not
be set up. The water will not ho turn

on that portion of Mill street.
Hos ital Sewer Fully Repaired.
The large sixteeu-inch iron pipe car

GRAND ENCAHPHENT
OF KNIGHTS TEHPLAR
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.—Tho
preliminary meeting of the Grand En
campment of tho Knights Templar was
held today. Tho opening addross of
welcome was delivered by Governor
I'ardeo, of California,ou behalf of the
Knights of the Stato,who was follow
ed by Mayor Sohmitz on behalf of the
city of San Francisco.
The routii i of the first mooting con
sisted of appointing committees to
handle the many questions which will
come before the body. Tho reports of
the officers on the current events of
the week aud also upon the work of
the last tliroo years were received aud
referred to tho committees.
The grand Masters of the Priory ol
England, Ireland and Walos were pre
sent as guests.
A Hospital at Bloomsburg,
A well detlued movement is already
on foot in Bloomsburg to establish a
hospital here, tho movement having
crystalizod through tho death of Will
iam Rounsley,whoso lifo oould proba
bly have boon saved had there been a
hospital here.
Tho question has alroady received
tho consideration of tho physicians of
town audit is likely that a mooting
will be called in the near future by
tho physicians to further consider the
matter. There have heeu two methods
suggested whereby tho object could bo
attained; olio, bv haviug Council ap
point a committee to start the move
ment, and the other, by haviug the
Board of Trade take up the matter. A
stock company would bo formed aud
the proposition placed upou a sub
stantial basis, after which state aid
would be secured.
Regarding the lattor, a prominent
physician speaking last evening, stat
ed that they apprehended no trouble
whatevor in socuritig aid from the
state after the hospital was once plac
ed upon a substantial basis. Ho was
very optimistic regarding the project
and felt there was a big field with
llloomsburg and tho surrouudiug towns
and country to draw from, for a suc
cessful hospital.—Bloomsburg Pro.is.
Only Male Singers.
Tho desire of Popo Pius X to have
the church return to the customs of
the early days and have only male
singors is being respected by many of
tho Catholic churchos of this land, as
is also his liking for the old Gregoriau
music instead of the more modern and
as he thinks less devotional forms to
which we have grown aoeustoined,
Sunday throe large Philadelphia
churohes introduced their new men's
choir. There is nothing more iiui/res<
sive than a well-trained, carefully
selected choir of male voioes,as it can
bo heard to perfection in tho Papal
choir and in the great European ca
thoilral, but, nnfortuiiatoly, the Am
erican climate aud tho American boys
disinclination to submit to the rigor
ous training necessary have as yot giv
en us uo reallv groat male choirs. Too
often they aro so exoorable musically
as to be a positivo torture to hear.
Tho Pope's wish, however, should
have a uiarkod improving effect.
Death of Mrs. Pullen.
Mrs. Hugh Garuett Pullen of Roch
ester, N. Y., died at the residence
of lior sister, Mrs. Harry S. Barrett,
Binghaiutoii,on Friday morning, Sept
ember 2.
Mrs. Pullen was a sister of Mrs. Ar
thur H. Woolley of this oity aud dur
ing her several visits here made a host
of friends, who sympathize deoply
with the family in their sad bereave
ment.
FOUNTAIN WILL
JEJEMOTEU
Daring the next few (lays the publio
fountain will be romoved from its pres
ent position at the weigh scales to
the wostern side of the now uulverton
Mill street.
This will be pursuant to action
taken at the last meeting of Council.
The fountain although it lias very
nobly fulfilled its mission in minister
ing to both human bolngs and dumb
animals has not been wholly a succoss
in Its present position. In the (list
place the ice attachment, while it con
sumed ice by the hundred weight,was
never efficient in cooling the water of
the fountain and after a trial was not
usod. The next troublo was oaused by
the waste water, which proved a groat
nuisance to people residing noar the
fountain. During last winter the waste
pipe bursted. In view of the im
provements oontemplated on Mill street
Oounoil did not see its way clear to
spend any money ou repairs and tlio
fountain has not been in commission
this summer.
It has now been decided to romove
the fountain to au entirely new loca
tion where the facilities will be bet
ter forconduoting otT the waste water.
The west side of the Mill street oul
vert affords such a spot, where the
waßte pipe of the fountain can be made
to conneot with th 6 water course dir
ectly below. The fountain will be off
the street entirely, occupying a place
on the sidewalk.
The intention is to have the wide
area at the junction of Mill, Bloom
and Northumberland streets olear of
obstacles of every sort, lu addition to
the scalo the large pole of the Ameri
can Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, whioh stands near the center,
will also be removed. .Tlio removal of
all these will be a fine improvement,
which will be all the more appreciated
when the stroet is paved at that point.

THEY LITE OH
lOJJENTS A DAY
Employed aloiig Heading Railway
system and especially on the Sharnok
iu division, there are about three
thousand Italians who maintain them
selves on teu cents a day and even
less. Among them there is little sick
ness and each of them is hale aud
hearty.
All of the men are fresh from Italy,
being procured by the agents of the
company aB soon as they land at Castle
Garden. They live in the various
towns along the Koadiug's lines, the
company arranging for their susten
ance and shelter. Eaoh gang of fiom
six to twenty men is in charge of a
man who occupies practioally the same
position as the oldtime padrone. He
arranges for the food for the men and
sees to it that they report regularly
for work and do not dissipate. Each
day he reoeives a shipment of food
from firms that have been awarded
contraots by the company. One of
these firms, Romo brothers, supplies
several thousand loaves of stalo bread
each day. The bread has attained a
solidity that would make a loaf a
dangerous weapon in the hands of a
man, bnt the Tuscans soak it in ooSee
and relish it. In faot they prefer It to
frosh bread and exist almost entirely
upon it. Thoy eat but little meat and
oonsume large quantitios of potatoes
and onions.
The padrouos figure out that it oosts
about ten couta a day to keep a man,
They also say that the meu will not
speud on the average of twenty-five
oents a year for medical attention. In
faot they say they seldom if evor get
siok and that the only money expend
ed for medioal aid and medicine is for
dressing of the injuries which the
men sustain as the result of aocident
while at work.
Nearly all of the aliens have bank
aocouuts in the towus contiguous to
their shacks and the manner in which
they accumulate money is, in consid
eration of the fact that they are paid
only from SI.OO to $1.50 a day.asouroe
of increasing wonder to bank officials.
Each pay day they make a deposit af
ter paying their board, wliioh may
amount to five or BIX dollars, aud al
lowing themselvos possibly a half dol
lar or a dollar for tobaaoo and inci
dentals during the ensuing month. It
is estimated that a thrifty Italian who
earns thirty dollars a month will save
twenty of it. When he accumulates
five or six hundred dollars he does not
consider himself wealthy, aH is gener
ally supposed,but shrewdly uses overy
artifice possiblo to keep his fellow
workers from learning what he is
worth. Nor does he change his mode
of living. Tlio ten cents a day diet
seems to aßree with him and to satisfy
him. Oft-times it occurs that when
he has saved a few hundred dollars he
will pack up his belongings and RO
back to sunny Italy where he says his
mouey will go even further than bore.
AHERICAN CONSUL
SAFE IN HARPUT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The Am
erican consul at Harput has reportod
to the State Department that he has
visited Bitlis aud is now in Moush.
Ho says that tho governor genoral of
the latter province paid him a visit on
his arrival and offered him an escort
to visit tho Sassuu mountains if ho de
sired.
Tho Consul states that the Distriat
of Sassun is tranquil and pacified and
the strategic points are garrisonod by
infantry detaohments and permanent
barracks erected. The survivors of the
niassaore are in destitute condition but
are attempting to rebuild their burn
ed villages witli a little government
aid. The consular corps at Bitlis esti
mates the number of massacred and
doad from exposure, and hunger, etc.,
as 3,!i00. The American colony at Bitlis
appears to be iu no present or prospec
tive danger.
In the Moush district insurgents have
adopted a guerrila form of waifare,
ambuscading troops aud bodies of
Kurds. They demand certain reforms
which concern chiefly matters of looal
administration and economio questions
not involving the integrity of the Em
pire. A number of villages have been
plundered aud borued aud many per
sons killed and maltreated, aud anoth
er massaore is daily expeoted by the
armenian population which is iu des
titute ciroumstanoes.
About 15,000 have lost everything
and are staiviug, many being ill aud
wouuded. Small contributions toward
their relief have been received through
the American board of Commissioners
for foreign missions at Bitlis but muoh
more is needed
DONNELLY BELIEVES
STRIKE WILL LAST
OHIOAQO, Sept. 7.—The voting by
the local unions interested in the ques
tion of whether the stook yards strike
shall be declared off or not, is over
and the ballots are to be oounted this
moruing. The result will be first made
known to the ooufereuce board of the
Allied Trades Oounoil and after that
body has taken "final aotion" it will

"I think the proposition lias been

"Of tho 1,1385 beef butchers," ho said,
"750 met and 09 per cent, voted to re
main out ou strike. Tho teamstors

The beef loaders, 200 in number,
votod uuauimonsly to continue the

It was stated by the paokers that
there were no desertions from the un

ios ever brought to this city will bo
placed on exhibition on Mill street in
a few days. The corios lepreseut a
oolloctiou brought from the Philippine
Islands by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Briniou,
who Eorvjd as a trained nurse ou the
Islands for some time.
There have been other collections
brought to Danville from the Isl«uds
by returning soldiers, wliioh consisted
largely of war implements and plain
wearing apparel.
Mrs. Briutou's collection excels in
ooutaiuiug nut only the above olaBS of
articles, but also an immense assortment
of fiue fabrics, dress good-*, drapories,
embroidered and drawn work, bosides
rare and beautifnl dishes and many
other articles never before seen here in
such variety. The dress goods alone
show that the natives of the Islands
are not only the deftest of weavers
and that they are skilled in art of dye
ing, but also that there are in the
Philippines taste aud a
love of the beautiful:
Mrs. Brinton'B oollection fills a
whole apartmout aud what it does not
oontain it would be dlfUoult to tell.
Of great interest to ladies is a dress of
a wealthy Philippine lady, made with
a train alter a style peculiar to the
Islandß. The dress goods are snperb,
not only in point of fine texture but
also in the beautful shade of ooloring.
A very popular goods resembles silk
Homo what, bat is made of the fibre of
the Josie plant and is aalted "Josie"
(pronounced "Hosie)."
Another beautiful olotli, finer than
any,is made of the fibre of the piueap
plo. This is uot only used for dress
goods but for table cloth,doiließ,hand
kerchiefs and for odlTs aud collars.
These boautifol fabrios are all woveu
011 the most primitive of looms. When
dyed tlio colors are "fast." When uot
dyed they are white or cream oolored.
The embroidery and the drawn work
all of wliioh was exeouted by the pati
ent Philippine women,are a marvel in
this oountry even to tho most dexter
one hands at such work. There are
score of specimens or eaoli in Mrs.
Brinton 1 * large collection, no two of
whioli are aliko and all wouderful ill
showing how fanltles.i aud mechanical
work can be that is turned out by
tlio human hand.
The collection contains an immense
vaiiuty of goods made of straw. The
mattiug is most beautiful in design.
the colors brilliant and "fast." Mrs.
Brinton has nearly enough mattiug to
cover oue floor, which, Bhe says, in
the Philippines is used also for cover
ing the walls. Owing to the preval
ence of earthquakes neither plaster nor
paper cau be employed in the houses
on any of the Islands. Neither can
window glass be used for the same rea
son aud in lien of glass beautiful semi
trauspareut shells are artistically In
serted iu the windows, several spoci
mons of the latter belug iucludod
among the curios. Mrß. Brinton pass
ed through a number of earthquakes
and to hear her describe how she was
tumbled about as the earth rockid be
naath her feet one cau easily under
stand that plaster aud wall p.tper, to
say nothing of glass, would uot prove
vory serviceable on houses.
Two Philippine cigars a foot long
and over six inohes iu oircamferonoe
seemed to require some explanation.
These Mrs. Brinton said were made by
factory girls, who by oustom were al
lowed one cigar per day to be made
by the girl herself. The native girl,
however, is a resourceful creature and
tho cigar designed for herself befoie
long bugan to grow. It was soon the
size of throe olgars aud kept ou grow
ing uutil it attained the euormous di
mensions described above. Such oigars
are used by the entire family at home,
eaoli member iu turn taking a pull at
the big roll of tobacco.
Mrs. Briutou has brought au endless
variety of straw headgear along home.
The most of these are from the Island
of Luzon, where the natives aro ex
ceedingly picturesque. Mrß. Briutou's
own hat whioh she woie when she
went abroad in tlie sun, is about as
big as an umbrella. The men's hats
are wouderful oraations, bearing more
of a resemblance to a basket than to
headgear. Few of the native lists are
less than five or six feet in oirouiufer
enoe.
In the collection are hundreds of
raro aud beautiful shells, gathered by
Mrs. Brintou herself while on the Is
lands.
Thoro aru nearly a hundred other
curios, wliinti merit a description, but
spaco will not permit—suoli as the
Pliilippiuo stove (made of earthen
ware) ornaments made of ivory aud of
the beautiful hard woods which grow
on the islands; rare draperies, oombs
and shoes of wood,artioles of all sorts
made of bamboo; a full tea Bet of Jap
aneso dishes and bolos, wliioh have
seen bloody service, presented to the
nurses by natives who received treat
ment in the hospital.
The curios will be placed on exhibi
tion in a vacant room on Mill street
in a few days. An admission fee will
be charged, the proceeds to be douat
od'to the Pine Street Lutheran ohnrch.
T. M. 0. A. Notes.
Mr. Oharles B. Soutter [.of Oedar
Hapids, lowa, gave the Young Men's
Oliristiau Association of that oity a
completo outfit of swimming pool and
baths in marble as a memorial to his
son. Iu respouse to a letter asking
whether the results of the gift woro
satisfactory, from the standpoint of
usefulness,aud also as a memorial,Ur.
Soutter wrote as follows:
"We have never ceased to feel satisfi
ed with the form of memorial to our
boy.
"I am told that more thanono thou
sand boys have learned to swim iu the
pool, without the risk whioh every
season causes some deaths by drown
ing in the Oedar river,and to hear and
witness the hilarity of the boys in
bathing is always a souroe of deep
gratification.
"Oau storied urn or animated bust
Back to its mausion cull the fleeting
breath?"
But (liia sight makes us feel that
'lie being dead, yet speaketh.' Sin
oerely,
OHARLES B. SOUTTKR.
