Aug. 3.-11 a. in —A desperate three days' asNanlt ou the inner defenses ou tho northern and the eastern sides of Port Arthur has failed, aocording to advices brought by two Juuks which arrived here to day. A Russian who esoaped from Port Arthur, via Pigeon Bay, ou the night of July 49, statds that the eartti trem bled under the terrific cannonading whioh began at 4 a. ni , July 20, and ended during the night ot July 28, When the battle ceased. A Chinese, who has arrived here on a separate Junk, oonflrius the Russian's statement that the Russian killed and wounded daring the assault numbered between five and six thoasand. The Japanese in their repeated as saults against the eastern forts on tho hilla, through harbed wire entangle ments and over mines, displayed fan atical bravery. They were mowed dowu by the hail of shells and bullets and the explosion of mines under their feet. Their losses are estimated at 20,000. The Russian declares that the Rus sians held all the eastern forts lead ing to Goldeu Hill and that the Jap anese, shattered and exhausted, retir ed to the eastward. As related by the passengers ftotu the two Junks,the Japanese advance, which began from Kwokau before daybreak July 26, was directed against Kikiwan, Kintkuln, Kinjkisha aud Piehtonshan forts lying near shore. The Russian outposts were driven back. In the meantime Admiral Togo shelled the forta at long range but the return fire of the forts kept his ships at a safe distance, rendering the co-operation of the fleet ineffective. On the morning of July 27 the Rus sian fleet steamed out, keeping under lb* protection of the Golden Hill guns. The Russian vessels did not fire up on the Japanese, but returned to their anohorage. The assault ou the northern side of the olty occurred July 27. The Jap anese left at Hsikau advanced on the Russians at Shnishi Ying, but were repulsed. The Junks were withiu hearing dis tanoe tor three days after leaviug, but BO more firing was heard. The Russian hospitals are said to be swamped. Thousands of wouuded are lying in houses and shops of the Chinese,the owners having been evict ed, with the exoeption of one who acts as caretaker of each place. Medical attention is adequate. ASSASSIN HAS PARTLY CONFESSED BT. PETERSBURG, July 3.—The assassin of Minister of the Interior M.

Four ot the five men who escaped from the prison at Bellefonte last Fri day eveniug have been captured. Re fore securing their freedom the pris oners beat Jerry Condo, a turnkey, so severely that he died on Sunday. Three of the fugitives were captur ed late Tuesday afternoon on the Krid er farm, near Lock Haven. They were taken into custody by O. A. Harvey, Horace Stiver, Elmer Flanigan and two young men named Dresham aud Daubermau. They were conveyed to the Clinton county jail ou a street car by the captors, who were armed with rifles. After reaching the jail Ira Green, one of the prisoners confessed to Sheriff S. Torrence Shearer that they were the three men wanted. Their names are William Dillon, George Henderson and Ira Green. The men made no resistance when captured. An Italian, who was arrested by Pennsylvania Railroad Detective C. D. Bcgle for riding on a freight traiu near Bedford, has made a confession since being in jail at Bedford aud says he is Dominic Constance, one of the five men who broke jail in Bel lefonte ou Friday. Constance says he is the man who struck Condo, us ing an iron bar for the purpose. After making tho escape the men separated and Constance says he has spent tho time in the Broad Top coal region in Bedford county, but thinking that he was too near the scene of his trouble for safety he was trying to reach a safer place when ar rested. Having no money he was beat ing his way on freight trains. Large posses of armed men had been searching for the escaped prisoners since Friday. On Saturday all the members ot the Bellefonte company of the National Guard were made deputy sheriffs and they assisted in the search May Pay Dearly for His Fun. Some person is laying up a great deal of trouble for himself by strew ing matches at night over portions of Mill street where tho biggest crowds of pedestrians pass. Tho matches us ed are of the kind known as tho "par lor match," which when trodden up on ignite with a sharp report. Those who tread upon tne matches unless blessed with stout nerves are apt to receive something of a shock, while in tho case of ladies there is much danger ot the clothing taking fire. Nearly half a box of these matches, the most of which had been trodden upon, were found sprinkled over one spot on Mill street the other moruing It is hoped the fellow who placed them there enjoyed the little scenes which followed, as his fun is likely to be of short duration. The police have taken measures to break up the practice and the offender if caught will pay very dearly. Merry Go Round. A merry-go-round installed at Wash ingtonville for a few days past has been doing a land office business. It is a novelty iu the way of sport that the juveuiles of that borough seldom have an opportunity of indulging in and they naturally are inolined to make the most of it.

BOTH SIDES NOW CLAIM VICTORY IN MEAT STRIKE CHICAGO, August ;{. _ Notwith standing the claim of the paoking houso managers that they have no difficulty in securing workmen they are said to bo making very strong ef forts to induce their former employes to return to work. The latest move made in that line is the distribution of cards among the wives of the strik ers urging tliem to induce their hus bands to return to the packing plants and offering increased pay. Schwarzscliild and Sulzeberger notifi ed the county officials that they coulri not make the usual weekly delivery of meat according to contract, and the superintendent of Public Service plac ed an order for $4,()00 worth of meat with an independent firm. The yards were Hooded with live stock today. The supply so far ex ceeded the demand that prices in some cases dropped as much as #l. Com plaints was rife by representatives of country shippers. Before the day's shipment arrived there wore 2!>,000 hogs in the pons aud between 2,000 and 3,000 cattle. The packers expressed the opinion that with supplies so heavy a good portion of the stock con Id not be handled by the packing plants until tomorrow. Today's receipts were as follows: Cattle, 6,500; hogs 12,000; sheep, 14,000. The packers announced today that they would attempt to import no more unskilled labor. They said they had all the raw men they needed and in the future would take on only a few skilled men. This news was declared by tho strikers to bo a bait to them in the liope of breaking the union ranks.

LOST COINS IN THE MAIL. They I n IIN<> Trouble uiid Worry to I'oatal < Ordinarily no man IK rich enough to escape that certain sense of elation which comes from picking up ft nickel on a sidewalk, hut when a railway postal clerk llnds such a coin In a mail pouch where it has worked out from lnsullicient wrappings not only does he inlns this elation, but It may provoke profanity. For a nickel lost in a pouch of mall In transit becomes a matter for na tional concern. It comes to view per haps Just as a pouch of mall Is emp tied upon a sorting table, and when It lias broken away from the bunch of letters and cards and circulars, roll ed to an open space on the table and there settled down, heads or tails, with a noisy spinning dance, the clerk who first sees It is "it." A necromancer could have no more idea than the man In the moon as tn what particular package It rolled out of, and If he had and should tell the postal clerk the clerk wouldn't dare try to restore the coin to the original package. That would be too easy al together. No, it is a lost nickel from the mo ment the clerk has to see It spinning there before his eyes, and according to the tender governmental conscience the clerk has to get ready for the Inau guration of about SIX 43 worth of fuss over It. For himself he doesn't dare togo to bed for a short nap until he has got rid of Ills 5 cents' worth of responsi bility to the government for the ac tion of the fool person from whom the nickel was parted. He digs up hi* printed form for such occasions print ed and provided and at once fills out a long blank, describing the coin, tell ing the circumstances of Its being found and whether it landed heads or talis on the table, naming the pouch from which it was emptied, the num ber of the train carrying It, the date and a few other details. This report, with the nickel, goes to the headquarters of the postal division iu which the car was operated, and from these bonded officials, by the same general ml tape route, the small coin finds its way to the seat of na tional government and to the fund rep resenting the great constituency of the postotflce department, which persist* in sending money in envelopes through the unregistered malls of the service.— Chicago Tribune. PITH AND POINT. The man who changes Jobs frequent ly never has a good one. When company goes there Is a feel ing about the house that suggests an easy old shoe. It Is the opinion of every mother that a boy never loses an opportunity for attempting to break his neck. Because a friend shows a desiro to be sympathetic don't pull the family skeleton out of the closet to entertain him. As a man gets older he finds that more of his friends are vlsitlug the cemetery when they go riding than formerly. The people who are used to good things when at home are very patient with the poor accommodations met away from home. It often happens that a girl who Is not disciplined enough by her parents gfts the kind of a husband who disci plines her too much.- Atchison Globe. Tti#»re \\ lis On«* Who 1)1(1 Not LADfh. Mark Twain once expressed the fol lowing sentiments to a young woman who had not smiled at a thing that he had said during an impromptu recep tion In his honor at Bryn Mawr col lege, to which his daughter had invited him. All the young ladles bnt one were in a state of great glee during the humorist's address; all but one had laughed heartily at every witty re mark. Just as Twain finished he turned to the young woman who had not laughed and said in an undertone: "You arc the only sensible one here. I have not said a single amusing thing. If it were not for the consplcuousness of it I would like to press your hand." —Success. W hut Wealth IlrlnKN. The late < 'olonel Ingersoll was talk ing one day with a group of friends when the subject of wealth and the desire of most men to accumulate money was discussed. "I never could understand It," said the colonel. "Just imagine a man with 8(H),0(K) hats, 400,000 pairs of shoes, 1,000,000 pairs of gloves, 0,000,000 handkerchiefs, 200,000 pairs of SUB penders and a train load of neckties getting up before daylight and exert ing every energy until late at night in order that he may make enough money to buy himself another necktie!" l.nlx-1 I'imte.

The animal has no advantage in any way In water over man, and yet tho man drowns, while the animal swims. The dog, the horse, the cow and even the cat ail take to the water and are able to walk as they do when out of water. Throw a <log Into the stream, Hid at once he begins to walk Just nf he docs on dry land. Why should a man, woman or child act differently u»- der like circumstances? It seems strange that people have to he told (o do what the nnlinalH do In stinctively and instantly. Man's igno rance of so simple a thing as treading water Is remarkable. It is without rea son or excuse. There is a popular no tion afloat that In some way the dog and other animals have an advantage ove\- man In water. Nothing could be further from the truth. The advantage lies with man, who is provided with a paddle formed hand and knows enough to float when tired, something the ani mal rarely or never does. \ Tll ii N iiitx tho t lillilron.

ANTIQUITY OF THE ROSE. l'he Flower <■«#-» Back Beyond the Moat Ancient Herorda. The royal rose has a pedigree to shame any other queen, it is so long, BO full of enchanting turns aud twists and so delightfully cumbered with myth, fable and history. She Is in a way a paradox, since, although by ap pearance and perfume the most trop ical of blossoms, she is yet by nativity a flower of north temperate latitudes. Her habitat Is bounded north and south, roughly speaking, by the twen tieth and the seventieth parallels. She grows wild all over Europe, in Africa as low as Abyssinia, In Asia to and through India and In North America to the edge of Mexico. Most wild roses are single, yet Pliny mentions double ones, among thein the hundred leaf, and Herodotus says, "Macedonia has gardens of Midas, with roses of sixty petals breathing out a delightful perfume." Whoever has read Roman history must recall the roses of Paestum, which bloomed twice a year. Notwithstanding this Rome's favorite rose was the Hundred Leaf. It followed the eagles and the legions wherever they went and grows today over three parts of the Roman world, a vital record of that old time occupation. Etymologlcally "rose" Is from the Celtic rhodd or rhudd, "red," also the root of "ruddy." The Greek name, rhodon, has the same meaning. So have most roso names In any language. Botanically the flower gives name to the great natural order rosaceae. Artl flcially It Is classed under polygoniae, the many angled. The wild forms have always fleshy, urn or pitcher shaped calyxes, twenty or more sta mens, five petals and live sepals. The sepals show a bit of nature's most cunning work. Two of them are beard ed at both edges, two without beurds and the fifth bearded at one edge and straight along the other. Thus they lncloße the bud with a bearded over lap along every seam, good to repel moisture and to put to rout every In trusive creeping thing. Rose culture's beginning goes back beyond records. The flower Is men tioned iu the earliest Coptic manu scripts. India's trudltlons take the rose to the times of the gods on earth. Egypt hud roses, wild and tame, before the Roman occupation mude it iu a way Home's commercial rose garden. Yet, curiously enough, there Is no ref erence to the flower In painting, sculp ture or hieroglyphics. Japan In our time parallels Egypt Roses flourish there, but do not serve as a motif for urtlsts. There is this further likeness —neither Egypt nor Japan has a rose song or a love song proper, so It may well be that madam the rose Is aveng ed for the slight. The Jews, returning from the Baby lonish captivity, took with them a recompense of roses. Semlramls, with the world at her feet, found her chief joy in a bower of roses. Mohammed turned back from Damascus after viewing It encircled with rose gardens. "It Is too delightful. A man can have but one paradise," said the prophet. Damascus lies lu the heart of Syria, whose name some geographers derive from serl, meaning a wild rose, and wild roses are abundant there. The damask roses of our gardens go back to Damascus. They were brought from it at the time of the crusades, although exactly when or by whom nobody can certainly say.—Martha Mc- C'ulloch-Wllliums in Success. The* Man Who Altrm ii Buafneaa.
