DELANEY FOUGHT
TWO DETECTIVES
STRUGGLED FOR A WEAPON
WITH WHICH TO KILL THE MEN
WHO ARRESTED HIM.
Delaney Waa Wanted In Several
Cities. Particularly In Baltimore,
Where He Had Recently Married.
Detective* Broke Into the Dela
neys' Apartment—Effort After Ef
fort Was Made by Delaney to Gel
a Weapon.
Philadelphia, May I.—John A. De
laney, who the police say is wanted In
St. Louis, New York. Washington and
particularly by the authorities of Bal
timore, who charge him with forgery,
was arrested at the Hotel Hanover
early to-day, after a sensational strug
gle with two detectives, who owe their
lives to their presence of mind.
The arrest was made in the presence
of Delaney's wife, who was in bed.
The wife comes from a good family
in Baltimore, and did not know that
he was wanted by the police until the
detectives broke into their bedroom.
The couple were married in January,
f-he had always believed him to be a
traveling man.
According to the police, Delaney and
his wife left Baltimore on a trip
which sihe thought was on business.
The detectives located them at the
Hanover. Assuring themselves that
the couple were in bed, Detectives
Thomas of Baltimore and Tall of this
city broke in the door, and a struggle
instantly ensued in the dark with De
laney, who had jumped from bed at
the first sound.
A porter turned on a light and the
prisoner was soon subdued, but not
until after he had attempted to reach
a revolver that was under a pillow
and another under the bed. While
dressing he said he wanted a vest, and
stepped to a trunk, but the detectives
anticipated him and found a third pis
tol. He made three more moves, such
as to get a collar or a handkerchief,
and In each place the detectives found
a bowie knife.
Having been foiled at every turn De
laney gave up, and according to the
detectives, said be would have made
his escape if he could have reached any
one of the six weapons, even though
he had to kill both of them.
Mrs. Delaney, dumbfounded at the
whole proceeding, almost went into
hysterics from surprise and fear.
Among Delaney’s personal effects
were found chloroform and a sponge,
a silk bag, which the detectives say
is patterned after the kind used by
sandbagging highwaymen; two pieces
of rope, a chisel and a razor.
The prisoner was taken to the City
Hall and held without bail to await
requisition papers from Maryland.
Delaney told the police that his pres
ent plight was due to his attempt to
have his wife remain in the same so
cial position she was in when he mar
ried her.
B. & B. RECEIVERSHIP CASE
Will Be Heard Before Judge Speer
in Mucon To-day.
Brunswick, Ga.. May I.—The re
ceivership case of E. C. Maehen vb.
the Brunswick and Birmingham Rail
road Company, will come up before
Judge Speer in the United States court
at Macon to-morrow. It promises to
be hard fought and some of Georgia's
most prominent attorneys will be inter
ested. For the Brunswick and Bir
mingham, F. E. Twitty, of this city,
and VV. A. Wimbish, of Atlanta, gen
eral counsel, will appear. The Knick
erbocker Trust Company, of New
York, which is interested in the hear
ing. will be represented by Kay, Ben
nett <6 Conyers, of Brunswick; the At
lantic and Birmingham Railroad, which
is made a party in the petition, will
be represented by Judge J. L. Sweat,
of Waycross. Maehen is represented
by Harris, Dessau & Harris, of Ma
con. It is undeistood that a nurr\-
ber of the creditors of the Brunswick
and Birmingham will also be repre
sented by attorneys. A number of at
torneys, witnesses and others, of
Brunswick, left for Macon to-night.
While there is no way of telling how
the case will terminate in Macon the
general oainion prevails in Brunswick
that it will be thrown out of court.
However, in case a permanent receiv
er is appointed for the Brunswick and
Birmingham a serious question arises,
as to how it will be operated here
after. As is well known the road
is now a part of the Atlantic and
Birmingham, and it would be a difficult
task to operate the road independent
ly again. In case a permanent receiv
er is named, it has been stated bV
those in positions to know, that the
road would, in all probability, be oper
ated jointly by the Atlantic and Bir
mingham and the receiver, until the
matter could be finally closed. It may
be stated in this connection that it
is not at all likely that the Brunswick
and Birmingham will be owned by
other people than those of the Atlan
tic and Birmingham.

RUSSIANS SAY JAPS
CAUSED GREAT LOSSES.
(Contlnud From First. Page.)
six officers and thirty-six men wound
ed.
On the morning of May 1, it became
apparent that the bombardment of
Saturday was preliminary to the cross
ing on Sunday, when the Japanese
opened again with their batteries, pour
ing an intense fire into the Russian
lines, which caused great lossess. The
Russians had no intention of trying to
prevent the Japanese crossing, their
sole object being to retard and embar
rass as much as possible the crossing.
With a comparatively insignificant*
force, this having been accomplished,
Gen. Sassulitch, menaced by the over
whelming force of the Japanese, retir
ed In perfect order to his second posi
tion a short distance away, which the
Japanese immediately attacked and
where fighting is now in progress.
The Russians believe that it will re
quire another week to get Gen. Ku
roki’s army completely across and
ready to advance on the Pekin road.
The fact that the Russians have re
treated to positions back of Turen
ohen, where there is more fighting,
shows that they have built entrench
ments which the Japanese are under
the necessity of taking before they
can push on. Consequently continuous
fighting and skirmishing will occur,
the plan of the Russians being to hang
on the flanks of the enemy and annoy
and worry them to the uttermost.
Nothing really decisive, however, Is
expected until the Japanese advance
shall encounter the Russian position
in the mountain passes of Feng Huan
Cheng.
It is even considered possible that
the Japanese may he able to turn the
Russian position there, but all this is
provided for in Gen. Kuropatkin’s
plans.
THE RUSSIANS’ STORY
OF YALU SKIRMISHES.
St. Petersburg, May I.—The general
staff has issued the following account
of the affairs on the Yalu river, April
29 and 30:
“From Gen. Kuropatkin’s telegrams
it appears that the Japanese, having
crossed to the right bank of the Yalu
near the village of Sindiagu, occupied
the villages of Khussan and Litzaven.
Gen. Sassulitch, with a view of reoc
cupying Litzaven and the hlghts over
Khussan, ordered on April 29 a thor
ough reconnoissance of the positions
which the Japanese occupied and then
sent a detachment commanded by Staff
Lieut. Col. Lind to attack the enemy.
“The positions near Litzaven and
Khussan were defended by a Japanese
force consisting of two battalions of
the Fourth Regiment of the Guard,
with mountain guns and a small force
of cavalrymen of the Guard. With
the assistance of our artillery from
Potletinsky our troops dislodged the
Japanese from their position, losing
two sharpshooters killed and thirteen
wounded. The Japanese left on the
position they vacated ten dead and
twenty-six wounded. They also car
ried away a number of their wounded
and others scrambled down the cliffs
to the Yalu. The enemy succeeded In
removing their mountain guns.
“After occupying the hlghts near
Sindiagu, where our troops came un
der a heavy fire from a Japanese bat
tery posted north of Wiju, two of our
guns shelled a pontoon bridge and
compelled the Japanese to dismantle It.
“The Japanese troops at Litzaven
and Khussan retreated, partly to the
Yalu and partly northward.
"Up to the present ten carbines and
cartridges and maps have been found
on the Japanese positions.
“Conspicuous gallantry was display
ed by the light infantry of the Tenth
and Twelfth Regiments under Lieut.
Yantchies.
“At 10 o’clock on the morning of
April 29 a Japanese force of 1,600 in
fantry, with twelve guns, began to
cross the river at Ambikhe and Scho
gapoudzy. Near Ambikhe there was a
small Russian detachment under Lieut.
Col. Goussey, which was compelled to
retire under the sustained fire of two
Japanese batteries of six guns each.
Four men were wounded and Lieut.
Col. Goussey was bruised on the head
and left arm. Our mountain guns were
unable to return the enemy’s fire on ac
count of the excessive range, and re
inforcements were sent to the detach
ment with orders to drive the Japa
nese beyond the Yalu.
“Gen. Mistohenko reports that Japa
nese warships at the mouth of the
Yalu on April 29 opened Are on our
troops, the cannonade lasting for twen
ty minutes. No damage was done.
“All is quiet in Yinkow. April 30
from 10 o’clock In the morning until 5
in the afternoon the Japanese shelled
our position at Turenchen from their
batteries on the left bank, where they
had posted twenty-four field guns and
twelve 120-millimetre siege guns, which
were cleverly mounted In masked
earthworks. They fired a minimum of
2,000 projectiles. Our troops stuck
stubbornly to the pontoon at Turen
chen.
“On the morning of April 30 the Japa
nese recrossed the Yalu at Sindiagu,
attacking our troops posted on tli"
hights near the village of Khussan and
turning our left flank. Owing to the
great superiority of the Japanese forces
we. retreated to a position near the vil
lage of Potiet insky.
"Our losses at the Turenchen pon
toon were Lieut. Pakhaloft, killed, and
Lieut. Col. Maher, commanding a bat
tery of the Sixth Artillery Brigade,
seriously wounded in the head; Col.

JAPANESE~STORIES~~
DIFFER FROM RUSSIANS.
Washington, May I.—The following
telegram, dated May 1, has been re
ceived at the Japanese legation from
Tokio:
Gen. Koroki, commanding the first
army, reports that on April 26 prep
arations were made for laying bridges
across the Yalu. On the same day
detachments of the imperial guard
and of the second division attacked
and dispersed the enemy on islands
in the river and aecupied the islands.
In these engagements sixteen of the
Imperial Guard were seriously and
nine slightly wounded, while there
were no casualties in the second di
vision. The enemy retreated, carry
ing many dead and wounded towards
Cbiu-Tien-Chang.
A Russian cavalryman taken pris
oner said that the Twenty-second,
Twenty-third and Twenty-seventh In
fantry regiments of the Bastern Si
berian Sharpshooters formed the van
of the Russian force.
Lieut. Senyoloff, commanding the
mountain scouts of the Twenty-second
Regiment, was found dead and was
buried at Wiju. Ninety-five dead
horses were found.
From noon of April 26 until April 27
the enemy fired Intermittently upon
Wiju, but no reply was made.
On April 26 two gunboats, two tor
pedo boats and two steamers, detached
from the squadron of Admiral Hosoya,
ascended the Yalu and exchanged shots
with the enemy on Antzushan and si
lenced him. The detachment suffered
no damage.
On April 28 two Infantry companies
of the Imperial Guard reconnoltered
Hushan, and a part, of the company
was detached to Sltzu-Yuen, from
which place the enemy fled, leaving
five dead.
The enemy fired at long range from
the neighborhood of Chiu-Tien-Chang
upon Wiju without much effect upon
our works.
On April 29 the twelfth division com
menced bridging the river at Suki-
Chin and completed the work early on
the morning of April 30 and the army
crossed. From 10:40 p. m. to 10:30
p. m. there was severe firing on all
sides but the enemy was soon silenc
ed. Our losses were five officers slight
ly wounded and of non-commissioned
officers and men two killed and twenty
two wounded.
At 8 p. m. of the same day the
bridge over the main stream was com
pleted and the army crossing, advanc
ed upon Hushan.
On the same day the detachment
from Admiral Hosoya's squadron ad
vanced below Antung-Sien and fought
at close range with 400 of the enemy's
Infantry and cavalry. The enemy's
artillery also directed a heavy fire
against the detachment, but retreat
ed after about an hour’s firing. There
were no casualties on our side.
On May 1 at daybreak our forces
commenced cannonading and silenced
the enemy’s artillery on the hill north
west of Yu-Shu-Kou and at 7:30 o’clock
all divisions advanced to the attack
and by 9 o’clock a. m. took possession
of the heights extending from Chiu-
Tien-Chang to the north of Makou
and Yu-Shu-Kou.
THE RUSSIAN STAFF’S
ACCOUNT OF FIGHTING.
St. Petersburg, May I.—The general
staff account of the operations on the
Yalu river to-day is as follows:
At 4 o’clock this morning Japanese
field batteries and four 7-inch guns
opened a terrific fire on our po
sition at Turenchen and on our troops
posted near Potletinsky.
“The overwhelming superiority of the
Japanese in artillery and heavy losses
their fire inflicted on our troops occu
pying these positions made it clear to
Gen. Sassulitch that it was impossi
ble to hold Turenchen. Consequently
the troops were ordered to retire from
Turenchen, while still holding the Po
teltinsky road.
"When Gen. Sassulitch dispatched
his telegram the Russian troops were
retiring in good order from Turenchen
and Schakhedzy to their second posi
tion, and the battle was continued at
Potletinsky and Tohin-Gu.”

LAND ON PENINSULA.
Che Foo, May 1,3 p. m.—lt Is ex
pected here that the Japanese will
land on the Liao Tung peninsular.near
Taku Shan, if they have not already
done so.
It is learned from Chinese who have
arrived from Taku Shan that on April
22 four Japanese warships, twelve
torpedo boat destroyers and also
some torpedo boats approached Taku
Shan. Seventeen officers and a party
of men landed. They were discovered
by the Russian. coast guards, who
fired upon them. The Japanese then
returned to their ships, which were
still oft Taku Shan when the Chinese
left there April 25.
There are some grounds for the be

JAPANESE SHOW
GREAT INGENUITY.
Port Arthur, May I.—Details of the
demonstration off Port Arthur on April
27 disclose the ingenuity of the Jap
anese. Their squadron set afloat a
string-connected raft, carrying burn
ing materials. At 1:40 o’clock In the
morning, when five miles off shore,
the combustibles were fired, the wind
and waves bringing the burning floats
towards tha harbor.
Under cover of this screen of fire
eight Japanese torpedo boats, towing
a launch filled with mines, slipped
around to a spot near where the Pe
tropavlovsk was sunk, but they were
detected by Russian searchlights, when
the batteries opened fire and drove
them off, but not before the mines had
been sown. The mines have since been
destroyed.
The Japanese, knowing that the Rus
sians would intercept wireless mes
sages, tried a neat trick to deceive
and worry Viceroy Alexleff. For sev
eral nights In succession they sent
by wireless telegraphy orders to pre
pare for a landing to send In fireships,
to attack with sumarlne boats, etc.
HOW LONDON VIEWS
THE YALU FIGHTING.
London, May 2. —No independent ac
counts of the fighting on the Yaiu river
have reached London and various opin
ions are expressed this morning re
garding the importance of the Japan
ese victory. It is considered in some
quarters that it was never the inten
tion of the Russians to hold the right
bank of the Yalu. except for tactical
purposes, and that the real struggle
has not yet been reached. All the
papers, however, recognize that the
success of the Japanese will greatly
enhance their prestige.
The Daily Mail’s New Chwang cor
respondent hears that the Russians are
accumulating great quantities of stores
at Tiellng. forty miles north of Muk
den, as their principal base of supplies.
A dispatch from Mukden says that
Gen. Kuropatkin arrived there yester
day (Sunday) morning and left in the
afternoon. His destination Is not stat

KENTUCKY DERBY.
•
Louisville, Ky., May I.—With fair
weather and a fast track practically
certain for to-morrow, the thirtletn
running of the Kentucky Derby over
the track of the new Louisville .Tockey
Club promises not only to attract an
immense crowd, but to furnish a more
open race than was thought possible
a few days ago.
Proceeds, Capt. S. S. Brown's entry,
will go to the pot a favorite, but fair
weather and a fast track are regard
ed as improving the chances of the
other entries. Brancas and Prince Sil
ver Wings will have about equal sup
port. Ed Tierney will also have con
siderable backing. Elwood will prob
ably be at the longest pric^.
These will doubtless make up tha
field for the event, as it was stated

DUCHESS’ JEWELS STOLEN
BY A SOCIETY WOMAN.
Paris, May I.—After the death of the
Duchess D'Albe at the Hotel Bristol
last March it was found that a casket
containing Jewels valued at $20,000 was
missing. The lost Jewels included a
diamond earring, the wedding gift of
Emperor Napoleon 111 to the Empress
Eugenie, which later was presented by
the Empress to her niece.
The Spanish embassy communicated
with the authorities concerning ths
missing casket and the police have
now traced the theft to a society wom
an who visited the Duchess during her
last Illness. The jewels have been re
covered and it is probable that ths
family of the Duchess will refuse to
prosecute the accused.
