The Russians blew up the magazines and set fire to the army stores an<f provision's at LiaoYang before evacuating that place." Stakelburg Extricated. J The only direct news from the seat i o? war bearing Sunday's date came by j way of Tokio in a report from Field ; Marshal Oyama, saying that Liaoi Yang fell completely into the hands ! of the Japanese at 9 o'clock that morn4 * To?ny\Ar.A rtnr-nolfi AC TOOrO llli?, liiilL LLit; japaucisu nvi^ j believed to be heavy ancl that nothing j was known by the Japanese concerni ing conditions on the right bank of i the Taitse river. !

In St. Petersburg the absence of news is looked upon as heightening the gravity of the situation for the Russians. It was reported in St. Petersburg ; Sunday night that Kuropatkin had j arrived at Tiehling, which is ten mile3 I north of Yentai and eighteen miles j south of Mukden. i The troops which were left at Liaoj Yang and the surrounding fortifications to cover the retreat crossed the i Taitse river Saturday and occupied the right bank of the river. Large numbers of Japanese, perfectly concealed in the Chinese corn and grass, stealthily crept up on the recreating Russians and inflicted heavy losses. These same tactics had previously been adopted with terrible results against Major General Orloff's mixed detachment, which was asailed in the grass with a completely unexpected lire. A panic ensued, and one regiment alone lost 1,500 men, half of its total strength. TROLLEY CAR CUT IN TWAIN. Six People Killed and Nineteen Hurt in Crossing Accident at Chicago. Six persons were killed and nineteen were injured, two probably fatally, Saturday by the collision of a Wabash world's fair shuttle train with a suburban electric car at the Sarah street crossing in Chicago. There were twenty-five passengers in the car, and none escaped injury. The shuttle train was returning to the union station from the world's I fair <*rn:;nrls at 90 miles an hour, it is said. The street car, which was on its way to the suburbs with a load of people returning home, stopped directly in front of the locomotive and was cut in two. The trucks of the car were knocked 100 feet away, while part of its roof was carried 200 feet further by the train. Bodies of the dead and injured, with wreckage of the dismantled car, were^ scattered along the track for 100 :yards. A. W. Bur bank, engineer cf the shuttle train, who blames the motormaif of the electric car for the accident, said: i ' ri /f "I was within 100 yards of the suburban crossing when I saw the suburban car start across the track. It looked to me as if it had ample time to get across." The watchman and the flagman ?t the crossing and some of the passengers confirm the statement that the car stopped, started across the track, and then stepped on the track. ?At Houston, Tex., despondent over ill health and lack of work, Charles Schroeder blew cut his wife's brains, and then turned the pistol on himself, blowing on tne 10p 01 ms utau. ?New York men who have been paying alimony io a former wife, married after getting her decree, are rejoicing over the new state law which has gone into effect and cuts off the income of thousands of divorcees now living with their second husbands. ?Because State Treasurer Kcmpff, of Wisconsin.was unable to furnish the $350,000 additional bend demanded of him by the governor, the latter has formally declared the office of state treasurer vacant under the statutes. ?Norfolk, Va.t capitalists have formed a $200,,000 company for the purpose of cultivating a 15,000-acro tract of land in eastern Virginia and Carolina to grow grapes for wine manufacturing. ?Fire at Memphis, Tenn., destroyed property in the wholesale district approximating in value $S00,0C0. ?The Blue and Brown armies at Manassas began the war game in earnest Monday morning. v i FIERY DEATH-TRAP i | i j Takes Lives of Fourteen People in New York City.

Si.gllt. i The dead include four women, one i man and nine children, ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. ! Many of the injured were taken to ! hospitals, and it is thought that several will die. Among the injured were five firemen, who were cn the fourth j floor balcony when it fell with them. The small number of men among i the killed and injured was due to the ~ Wksvrt tirViA 11 j lit'J L lilttL IliUS L U1 llic uucu nuu ti <v.a ! in the building, following'the custom ' of the locality in hot weather, were \ asleep o nthe roof, while few women J and children were there.

Meanwhile ; the members of their families who J had remained in their rooms soon j found escape cut off and panic reignj ed throughout the structure. t Delay in Sending Alarm. Tlie fire started about 3 o'clock in the morning, and there was considerable delay in sending in an alarm, although the district is one of the most thickly populated in the crowded east side of New York. When the firemen reached the scene some of the tenants were jumping from the windows and from the ends of fire escapes that reached only to the second floor. Others were crouching in the smaller | rooms and narrow halls. Several amj bulances were called and the surgeons were kept busy caring for the injured. A number of daring rescues were made by firemen and police, and the conditions under which they worked . ii'nro nnncnol and V Uii U>J UC4I UliU UlU*VU*v< The loss of life was due to the fact that alterations were being made in the tenement building. The basement and the first floor, the latter about six feet above the sidewalk level had both been cut through the front and rear walls having been removed and the upper , floors being supported by steel beams. The exit from the upper floors was by way of a small step ladder. Twelve families lived in the honso and it is said that the tearing away of the lower part was done so quickly that certain of the tenants who wishi ed to move from the building were un! able to get their furniture out and thus were compelled to remain. Fire Escapes Removed. The work of alteration had necessitated the partial removal of the fire escapes, and when the fij ebegan the panic-stricken tenan.s found fire esescapes, and when the fie began the no further. ! The work of the firemen was great| ly hindered, but over twenty persons ! were rescued by them from the fourth and fifth floors. Many persons received injuries by jumping tor -the sidewalk and to the stone paved court from the ends of i the cut-off fire escapes. , The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp that bad been left to light the hall on the second floor and the sleeping tenants were not aroused until the hallway was ablaze and escape through the building cut off. The fire was soon extinguished and the search for the dead began. Most j of the bodies were found on the two | upper floors.
