MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Nov. 17, 1904. General Stoessel Sacrifices War Vessels CHE FOO, Nov. 16. —The Russian topedo boat destrover Rastorophy, which reached this harbor from Port Arthnr early this morning bearing dis patches from General Stoessel to the Czar has been blown np to prevent it tailing to the hauds of the Japanese. It is rumored that the boat brought a dispatch from General Stoessel ask ing the St. Petersburg authorities for instructions 1 8 to whether he would continue to hold out, awaiting relief or make immediate arrangements with the Japanese for surrender upon the most advantageous terms possible. This rumor cannot be confirmed but it is obvious that only dispatches of the highest importance would impel General Stoessel to risk the loss of a warship,by sending her out upon such a mission,in tace of the rigid blockade maintained off Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet. The Ratsorpny brooght a number of oopies of the Novabrai. h Port Arthur newspaper. In one of the issues it is stated that while a Japanese destroyer was laying mines on Nov. 11 she was surprised by the battleship Retvizau and sunk. Hei commander declared all forts remain ed in Russian hauds and that tho gar rison was in good spirits and confident. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IH.—Ad rices from Lieutenant General Stoes sel and rear Admiral Wiren, brought by the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny to Oho Foo have reached the emperor but have not yet been made public. The great importance of the infor mation is apparent from the fact that the torpedo boat destroyer was delib erately sacrificed iu order to get the communication* from the belengured garrison. The only word which has reached the admirality is a telegram from the captain of the Rastorophy, announcing his arrival with official dispatches. An attempt of the Japanese to repeat the Ryeshitolni incident in Chinese is confirmed. The captain reports that the Rastoropny will be disarmed ana hauled out on the shore to prevent the possibility of the Japauese eutering t*»e harbor and forcibly towing her •ut RIECH—WOHL HEITER NUPTIALS Mr. John A.

THECROMLEY CASE IS STARTED [Continued from First Paye.] interest thau during the preceding ses sions and the attendance of spectators was small. The railroad counsel offer ed in evidence views of the Watsou town crossing where .T. O. Crorn ley and his sou were killed and En gineer Hopbinson, whose office is in Williamsporf.was on the witness stand a long time explaining the views. Attorney Hiuckley offered the testi mony adduced at the first trial rebnt jal of statements of Edward Kreisher and David Foust. Attorney Scarlet recalled Charles Waltman to establish what cars weie on the siding near the crossing where the fatality occurred. The witness said there was a box car in which he had been for a pulley fif teen minutes prior to the accident and he didn't see it removed from the sid ing. Charles Murray of Limestone town ship, was called in rebuttal of the testimony of persons witnessing the accident from the Hinebach house. He state d that when talking to one of the Hinebach women after the accid ent she said Mr. Cromley looked up the railroad and his boy looked down the track before going on the crossing, a stop being made fifteen feet from the track. David Foust of Limestone township, next testified to finding Murray at the Hinebach house and tc hearing someone say as he (the wit ness) entered something about seeing a body thrown into the air. He did not hear the conversation with Mur ray,who did not tell him of it for twc weeks after that. Mrs. Wallace Dean of Limestone township, testified that Allen Hinc bach called at her home to sell lini ment and in conversation remarked that he did not see the accident. Lawyer Scarlet proposed to ofler a; evidence to show the expectance ol life the American mortality tables,bui .ludge White ruled that only figure! from tho Carlisle tables could be con sidered and ordered the testimony ol Mr. Sidler,containing American inort ality figures, stricken out. While Mr. Scarlet was procuring the Carlisle tables a recess was taken. The argument of the case was start ed at the afternoon session of Court but did not end then and a night ses siou was held to finish it. The couri room was completely filled at the nighi session. The interest was intense. At torney Hinckley argued for the defenst along lines of contributory negligence aud his effort was an able oue. Law ver Scarlet maintained the only ueg ligence was on the part of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company. His con eluding plea to the jury was masterly- It evoked tears in more than one tec tlon of the court room. He fiuishod ai 9:15 o'clock and Judge White adjoutn ed court to 9 o'clock this morning af ter instructing the jurors to talfc t< no one concerning the case and to forn no decision until after the Court hai delivered his charge.

The prudent company commander of the Twelfth Regiment will begiu at once to prepare for the coming spring inspections. They are a long distance in the future.it is true, but when you stop to consider that a new Drill Reg ulation has goue into etTcet since the companies were last inspected it must be realized that theie is no time to spare if the companies would pass good inspections and receive ratings as good as last year's figuies show. Some regiment must l je fir-t aud the Twelfth in as likely to he that one as auy other. Company commanders must not put off preparations until the last minute They cannot simply brush up the knowledge of their men this time, they must teach them the new as well as brash up the old. The Brigade luspector will be accompanied by an army officer who will at the same time make the inspection for the War Department and neither tf these officers will make any allowance for the fact that the Regulations are new. The intervening time is sufficient for preparation and learning the new drill if it i-i properly used. Concerning riembership Fees.

H. M. HINCKLEY, Auditor. Danville. I'a , November 15th, 11MI4. A IHUNDERBOLT AT SEA [Copyright, 1904. by C, B. Lewis ] This was the situation at 10 o'clock of a flue June morning many years ago: A big English sailing ship called the Kangaroo, one of the last of the Australian packets, was lying becalm ed off the African coast to the south of St. Helena, and three miles away was a rakish brig, also without move rnent. The brig had crept out from the coast during the night under the influ ence of airs too light to flare a caudle. As was afterward known, she was a Spanish rover called the Celeste. The Kangaroo would not have been put In a state of defense but for the passengers. Many of them became nervous at the sight of the brig, and to quiet them and at the same time exer cise the crew the guns were cast loose, small arms served out, and the peaceful packet was turned into a man-of-war. There was a providence In it. When the stranger saw that he was suspect ed he threw off all disguise. Of a sud den his decks were alive with men run ning about, and later on four boats were lowered and filled with armed men. They were coming to attack the Kangaroo. They must have known that she was armed and had a strong crew aboard, but the pirates of old were men to take long chances. When the boats left the brig's Bide we count ed flfty-two men In all, and It seemed as if as many more were left behind. The black flag was hoisted, and there could 110 longer be a question as to the sort of men we had to deal with. The passengers of the Kangaroo to a man volunteered to assist the crew, aml we were presently prepared to give a good account of ourselves. We could note long before the pirates reached us that they comprised several nationalities and that they were a des perate lot. The boats divided as they came on, and when within a mile of us the fellows began cheering. Our first shot was from one of the big guus and could not have been bet tered. It struck one of the boats fair on the stem and spilt her open full length, and of those not killed outright only two or three were picked up. The disaster only made the rascals the more desperate. liaising a yell, the three remaining boats dashed at UB and were soon so close that the big guns were of no further use. We met them with bullets and buck shot, and we hove cold shot Into their boats as they hooked on, and no gang of pirates ever got a harder drubbing. Although we lost two men killed and several wounded, not an enemy got aboard, and only two boats and eight een men returned to the brig. That night the damaged spars were replaced, shot holes plugged up, and there was no reason why we should not safely make the Cape. When daylight came we congratu lated each other over our victory, and the captain had Just decided to make a sort of holiday In honor of the event when a thunderstorm came racing up behind us, and In the midst of the black cloud was the pirate brig. In stead of sailing away in search of a haven or other prey when she had re paired damages she had picked up our trail and was going to give us another brush. Such Krlm persistency tit first brought a feeling of fright, but this soon gave place to one of grim determination to fight her to the death and show her no mercy. When we had her crippled the night before we could have destroyed her, but Captain Wilson simply sailed away. He now promised the crew to sink her if ho could, aud there was cheering as the men went to the guns. I)own came the black cloud, and with It down ciune the pirate, with his black flag flying, and aa he ranged up on our port quarter at half rifle shot he opened flre. His first shot struck a gun and killed three men, and his second grounded five men. Then the storm broke, the sea Increased, and, although the firing continued, no groat damage was done on either side. Daylight was turned Into evening by the storm. There was heavy rain, with gust* of wind and the keenest of lightning and the loudest of thunder. Our decks were ankle deep, but every man stood to his gun and continued to fight. As the darkness Increased the brig crept closer to us, and during the last ten minutes of the fight one could have heaved a stone aboard of her. One saw her In the play of the light nlng and for an Instant could almost look Into the eyes of the men aboard, aud then for a few seconds she would be lost In the darkness. So terrific and continuous was the roll of thun der that the reports of the guns were unheard. You felt the concussion along the deck, but the report was lost In the war of the elements. Iyoadlng and firing every gun which would bear as fast as possible, the Kangaroo rushed forward on her course and, hanging to her quarter like a bulldog to his prey, followed the Celeste. Of a sudden there was a great crash aloft, and down came fore and main topmasts together. The men were called from the guns to clear the wreckage, and the ship was In danger of broaching to and being swept when there came such a flash of lightulng as seamed to burn the eyeballs. This was followed by a thunderclap which peemed to lift the ship out of the wa ter, and then fifty pairs of eyes saw a great spout of flame shoot up out of the eea. In the midst of the flame were masts, yards and sails and flying ob jects. The brig had been struck by light ning. and her magazine had blown up. There was a puff, a boom, a gust of red flame, aud that was the end. She was blown Into matchwood, with her black flag whipping'in the gale and her crew working at the guns, and the last pirate craft to plow the south At lantic was no more. M. QI AD. Aotirlfth men t.
