Denver, Col., Dec. 3.—Startling dis closures were made in the Supreme Court to-day In the trial of the six election officials of Ward five. Pre cinct nine, who are charged with con tempt. George King, a handwriting expert, said that fifty-seven of the ballots In the box had been written by ten dif ferent persons. The highest number written by one person was nineteen. The lowest was two. The five Repub lican ballots were written by one per son. The other flfty-two ballots on which the expert noticed similarity of bandwriting were Democratic. "It is evident that two kinds of ink were used in the writing of the bal lots." said Mr. King. "Whether this was occasioned by two different kinds being furnished by the Election Com mission or whether certain ballots were written outside the booths, I am un sbls to say.” It Is the general belief among the attorneys, who have followed the con tempt proceedings closely, that tbs re mit of the discoveries made by the court will be to bring the ballot box of every precinct where contempt Is charged idle court for * samios tleu.

There was a strong feeling here of lynching, but since then there has been a meeting at the Court House, where there assembled a large crowd of citizens, together with Judge Ham mond, who came from Augusta and promised a speedy trial, which will take place next Tuesday. The coroner's jury has not yet ren dered a verdict, as It expects to sift the evidence, when it is expected oth ers will be implicated. At this hour the crowd is dispersing, and it is hoped that all indication of lynching has passed.

According to John But ler’s statement, he had been employed by Mr. Story, who was a farmer, to pick some cotton. On the day of the murder he wished to quit work to at tend a negro burial.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 4. 1904 RUSSIAN STORY OF RUSSIAN HEROISM. Early Morning Attacks in Which Japs Were Defcnte*l. Mukden, Dec. 3.—Ail day Friday Russian siege guns bombarded villages occupied by the Japanese to the east of the railroad, and early this morn ing to the west of the railroad Don Cossacks routed the Japanese south of Lidlatoun and captured eight guns. This brilliant action, described by a Chinese, who, dressed as a Cossack, participated in the attack, is as fol lows: ' When volunteers were called for from two infantry regiments every man stepped forward, and the Cos sacks in chorus asked not to be left behind when the little party was form ed. The order was given to depart at 2 o’clock in the morning, and all the men advanced with extreme cau tion and in dead silence, sometimes crawling and sometimes running. "The party divided and attacked the Japanese position from two sides. The Japanese were sound asleep, and did not even have time to raise a cry be tore all ivas over. “Again we advanced and soon saw before us the outlines of a battery. AU the Japanese were asleep except the sentries. We encircled the battery and attacked from the rear. The Japanese had not expected such an audacious and sudden attack, and when the Don Cossacks charged on a dead run, fol lowed by chasseurs on foot, the Japa nese were badly scared and unable to realize what was happening. They rushed, half dressed, from their tents, only to be received by spears and bayonets. "The fight lasted only a few min utes, when the whole camp broke and fled in a wild panic, leaving eight guns in our hands. We had no losses and only one man was slightly wound ed. The Japanese left at least fifteen dead and probably as many more were wounded.” Continued crouching in rifle pits and Incessant firing have so hardened the men to danger that they Ignore it. Pe culiar war sports are becoming more popular among the troops. Gen. Rennenkampf's Cossacks are still in pursuit of Japanese and have driven them out of the villages of Intsagoundzy and Dapindunigan, tak ing many prisoners and rifles.

COULO NOT FIND ANY PROPERTY WRIT FOR MRS. CHADWICK HUT NOTHING DISCOVERED ON WHICH TO LEVY. Deputy Sheriff Went to Her Room In the Hollnnd Iloase, lint All He Found Was a Handling:, With 11 Hat mid Jacket—Believed She Had Other Apartments 111 the Hotel- Newton’* Attorney Still Believes That His Claim Will lie Paid. New York, Dec. 3.—The financial af fairs of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick were further complicated to-day by the is suance of an attachment ’against her property for $1,367.50, on behalf of a firm of milliners of this city. The ap plication was made by Lawyer Theo dore H. Friend, on the ground that Mrs. Chadwick is a debtor and is not a resident of this state. The writ v*as issued by Justice Conlan of the City Court. The writ of attachment against Mrs. Chadwick's personal property was served upon the clerk and manager of the Holland House this afternoon. Lawyer Friend holds that this w*as sufficient to act as a service and would prevent Mrs. Chadwick from removing any of her personal property from the hotel. “There Is absolutely nothing to pre vent Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick from leaving the Holland House with her baggage, if she see fit,” said Philip Carpenter, counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, to-night, when asked concerning the report that a writ of attachment had been served. ‘‘The papers were served on the manager of the hotel and not on my client personally, and that fact renders the service null and void,” continued Mr. Carpenter. “Asa rrfatter of fact, Mrs. Chadwick has no intention of leaving New York for a few days, but there would be no legal objection if she saw fit, according to my views of the law.” Mrs. L'hatlwlrk Was Defiant. In contradiction to the statement of Mr. Carpenter, Deputy Sheriff Frank C. Rlnn said to-night that ho served the attachment on Mrs. Chadwick per sonally to-day after first serving it on a clerk and Manager Hnrrlman of the Holland House. Rlnn says that he was permitted to go to the Chadwick apartments, where he found Mrs. Chadwick reclining on a couch. Owing to her defiance, Rlnn says he was obliged to carry on con versation In a loud voice. When he made his errand known the deputy says Mrs. Chadwick took the papers and placed them on a table beside her. He continued: “I then searched the room as well as I could, but all I could find there was a small handbag and the woman's hat and jacket. “We have been Informed that Mrs. Chadwick has changed her apartments In the Holland House three times. We believe that the hand bag that I found in her room does not constitute all her effects.” Detectives Miailnnlns Her. A story was published In an evening paper to the effect that several detec tives alleged to be in the employ of a New York millionaire, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Chadwick case, are shadowing Mrs. Chadwick. According to this rumor two detectives are in the Holland House In the guise of patrons, while others are watching the exits and lounging about the corridors. The ho tel management is quite unaware of the alelged presence of detectives, and it has been impossible to confirm the story. George Hyall, the New York attor ney for Herbert D. Newton, gave out the following statement to-day re garding the settlement of his client’s claim against Mrs. Chadwick: “I am satisfied that our claim against Mr*. Chadwick will be paid. Th# settlement will be In full and In cash. Of course, there may not be a full payment of Newton's claim of $190,800, because f believe there are some of the notes held by Newton on which Mrs. Chad wick did not get thslr full face value and of course deductions will have to be made In such cease, but all th* juet claims and legal obligations of Mrs. Chadwick to Newton will be met by her In full end with cash, and by Mra Chadwick bar seif regardless of the bankruptcy proceedings brought against her in Cleveland on Friday." Itoiißlt Oil Her Nerve*. Mrs. Chadwick is said to be in a state bordering on almost total col lapse to-night. The nervous strain of the last few days had been so great that she is reported as hysterical. Dr. Moore, who is her New York medical attendant, was called in to-night and after prescribing for her said: "Mrs. Chadwick Is suffering from nothing except the nervous strain from whtsh she has been undergoing. It. is no wonder that a woman of her age would give way considering what she has been though lately. There is, however, no const 11 utional trouble." The Fane at Cleveland. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 3.—The suit brought by Herbert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass., against Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was again continued by Judge Babcock to-day. The attorneys representing both Mr. Newton and Mrs. Chadwick were In court and requested that the hearing go over for a week. A. F. Stearns, of the legal firm of Carr, Stearns & Chamberlain, repre senting Mr. Newton, said the entire matter would be doubtless settled out of court. Nathan Loeser, appointed receiver for Mrs. Chadwick, said to-day: “I have taken no action as yet to ward securing possession of any of Mrs. Chadwick's property. The prop erty is practically all in the hands of adverse claimants. In order to get possession it would be necessary for me to bring an action In court. This, I am inclined to think, will not he done immediately, or not, at any rate, until we have conferred with Mrs. Chadwick's counsel. There have been no developments In the receivership case,to-day and the matter rests Just where it did when I was appointed.” Conference About the Bank. Cleveland, 0., Dot-. 3.—Receiver Ly ons, in charge of the closed Citizens' Bank of Oberlin, and Judge Oldham of the office of the Controller of the Cur rency at Washington had a long con ference here with United Stales Dis trict Attorney Sullivan to-day. extend ing over a period of nearly two hours. At its conclusion none of those attend ing the conference would discuss the matter under consideration. ABOUT7SO PASSENGERS INJURED IN A WRECK. Eighty of Them Reported as Seri ously Hurt. Holden, Mo., Dec. 3.—Missouri Pacific passenger train No. 1, westbound, from St. Louis to Kansas City, due here at 4 o’clock this afternoon, was wreck ed at the waterworks bridge, two miles east of here, resulting In the In jury of about 45 passengers, 10 of whom were seriously hurt. The accident was caused by a broken rail, which projected from the track, catching the first coach behind the mail car, throwing it from the track down *a twenty-foot embankment and causing two other coaches, a Pullman and the diner, to follow It. The broken rail was on the bridge and the rear Pullman roiled off the bridge Into the creek below and the passengers Inside were all seriously In jured.

Kansas City, Mo.. Dec. 3.—A relief train which went from here to the scene of the wreck returned late to night, bringing many of the Injured to the Missouri Pacific Hospital and other hospitals In this city. The wreck occurred fourteen miles west of Dead Man’s Curve near War rensburg, where the worst wreck In the hlstorv of the Missouri Pacific Railway happened in October, when thirty persons lost their lives. Supposition has it that orders were given the train crew at Center View, Mo., to slow up at the waterworks bridge on account of a broken rail there. It seems that the train was behind the schedule time, and this order was not heeded. Maw the Levee*.
