No really important aggressive movement?, however, nre announced. A very heavy engage ment is conbidered certain to occur bo toro many days.to tho southward of Jiukduu as a result of the concentra tion in that vicinity ot immense bodiee of tho opposing forces.

Mudken, October 21.-Toward even ing yesterday the fog lifted and some of the Russian guns at various points opened live against the Japanese de fenses, but they did not respond either from scarcity of ammunition or the de sire not to reveal the location of their batteries. The weather and the condi tion of the roads have mac 3 extensive operations impossible, but the roads aro now drying hard, which forecasts events in the near future. The war correspondents in th? jteld are kept in the dark, and it id difficult to say when and how this dreadful slaughter will end.

A Terrible Tragedy at Sumter. Sumter, Oct. 24.-A suicide as a re sult of domestic infelicity shocked thia oity early this morning. Dr. Van Tel burg Hofman, a well known physician, blew nearly the whole of his head off with a shotgun, after a quarrel with his wife, whom he had murderously beaten. Dr. Hofman married Miss Nora Kussell, of Newberry, a niece of State Treasurer Jennings. Their mar ried life has not been a happy one, and it is said that differences aa to religious views were the prime causes of their discord. Last night the couple attended church. This morning at the break fast table, thev quarreled over religious matters, and finally Mrs. Hofman left the table and went to the sitting room, remarking that she would pack up and leave so that each might be rid of the other. Dr. Hofman followed her into the room, still quarreling with and beating his wife. At last lie grabbed her by the hair and throat, choked and beat her head against the door. By the exercise of the strength of despera tion she succeeded in releasing herself from his grasp, ran out of tho house and into a neighbor's for protection. Very soon after a shot was heard in the house, and when it was entered Dr. Hofman was tound lying on the floor with half of his head shot away, blood and brains spattering the walls. Dr. Hofman was a native of Holland and has been living in Sumter abont five years, being connected with the Atlantic Coast relief department. He was highly educated, having graduated at a university of that country, and at medical colleges in New York and Richmond. He came to Sumter from the latter city, being brought here by the Coast Line. Some time aince Dr. Hofman laid violent hands upon his wife and left the city on business. During his absence Mrs, Hofman had to call in another physician for medical attention on acconnt of the foi aries re ceived from her husband. When Dr. Hofman returned the physician remon strated with Dr. Hofman, and told him farther that if such a thing occurred again he would be exposed and that the people of Sumter would not stand for such treatment of a lady, lt ia presumed that after tho occurrnces of this morning Dr. Hofman felt that ex posure and disgrace were upon him and to avoid the indignation of citizens he took his own life.
