PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA. Talking About Worth. Special Bargain Sale London, Oct. 29.—Tho Shanghai correspondent of the Central News says all the Soochow property belonging to Bheng, the taotal of Tien-Tsin, has been seized and sealed by the governor In obedience to orders from Pekln. Sheng is tho official who bought German lilies for 600,000 taels and sold them to the government for 3,000,000. When the fraud was discovered LI Hung Chang slapped his face. The seizure of his property followed quickly upon the denunciation of the board of censors. spection was held proved a complete success. Numerous deeds of heroism are recorded among the Japanese troops. While a body of newly enlisted men were marching to the front one of the soldiers was taken violently ill. He was removed to the nearest hospital, but refused to unclasp his sword belt or surrender his gun to the attending physicians. That death was near, he knew, and he deemed it a disgrace to die before fighting for his country, his gun was a precious charge and he would hold it to the last. And so, clasping the gun to his dying breast, in full uniform, he calmly met his death. No less heroic was the act of a bugler In the battle of Song-Hwan. ITS had been told to blow the charge, and had just given a blast when a bullet ntruck him full in. the breast, inflicting a fatal wound. Several of his comrades ran to raise him, but he and they at once saw that nothing could be done. They told him to lay the bugle aside, urging that any fresh exertion would only make the hemorrhage more quickly fatal. His sole reply to this was to raise the bugle once more and for the last time to his lips, anrl with a final clear ringing "charge" the bold spirit passed away. Count do Gainvillc's Trip. San Francisco, Oct. 29.—Count V. E. fe Galnville, of Paris, has arrived at this port on the steam whaler Jeannette after a five years' hunting trip In the unexplored wilds of Alaska and the northwest territory. All the country he passed through was mountainous and generally wooded. He saw tnsnv rich coal lands which could be developed and found traces of gold on the upper Yukon river, but no rich deposits. He was unable to discover tho reputed big Esquimaux lake east of the CUackemfe river, but found many small lakes in clusters. .Willcesbarre, Pa., Oct 23.—A dastardly outrage was perpetrated at & o'clock this morning wherin it was premeditated by the scoundrels to sacrifice 50 or 60 lives by sending then into eternity with a force of dynamite. The motive was undoubtedly robbery and it resulted in the instant death of three Hungarians while a large number were injured, eight of whom are in a serious condition. The dead aie: Frank Novako, aged 23, single. Mike Colletz, aged 40, wife and four children in Hungary. George Silotzki, aged 28, wife and two children in Hungary. The injured are: John Colletz, Mike Koshitz, Kasha Grattarick, Mike Urltz, Blazak Croll, Fahr Kotzak, Anthony Lucklich, Urltz Misko. Several of the Injured cannot posibily recover. McDonald and Sayre, railroad contiactor3, are building a second track oi' seven miles on the Lehigh Valley cut-off and at a point one mile from Fair view in the wikU of Willcoubarri mountain a Hungarian camp waa located which waa presided over by MHte Urklowitz and wife. The camp consisted of a rough building 30 feet square constructed in the midst of the %rub oak besides the track. During the night, as is always the custom, tl ree of the sixty Hungarian borders, men and women, set up on watch and were whiling the- time away playing cards. Sometime during the night a party, the number being unknown, of desperadoes secured a battery and brought it to the railroad track in front of the camp and connected it with wire, completing a circuit to each corner of the camping house. A tool chest standing nearby was broken open fiom which were taken a number of djnamite sticks which were distributed beneath the building. The circuit completed, it was but a moment's work to turn on the battery setting off the dyramite. However in the haste with which the miscreants worked, they made a faulty connection at the battery, and when it was turned en but one and certainly not more than two of the dynamite sticks exploded. Prank Novako who was one of the party playing cards on the first floor was instantly killed, both legs being blown off at the knees. The building totally collapsed and was shivered into slivon excepting one half of the roof which sank In, partially covering the debris. The two men with Frank Novako at the table were scarcely injured at all, while the others killed and Injured met their fate from the collapse of the building. Occuring before daybreak as it did, the condition of the unfortunate foreigners was deplorable and in their frenzied condition they knew not what way to turn or tow to act. The force of the explosion was so great that the earth was torn up about the site of the camp, and the effects In the line of baggage, cooking utensils, ect., were scattered in every direction. As is the custom of the Hungarians those who were uninjured at daybreak commenced collecting their shattered goods and chattics and by noon a large number of the men had prepared to take their departure, having no concern and paying no attention to their dead and injured countrymen. The Lehigh Valley Railroad company sent out a wrecking force wtih physicans, detectives and the coroner. Upon Its arrival the injured men were cared for by ,the physicians, placed on the train and brought to the hospital here and tho todies of the dead were also brought here and prepared for buriel. The detectives have arrested Mike Urklowitz, the boarding house boss, as a witness. They profess to believe tlfat he can give evidence that may lead to the detection of the men who committed the outrage. 24 Pairs of Light Weight Shoes, Worth $2.50 for $1.25.

Baltimore, Oct. 29.—It caused some-' thing of a start in Baltimore's highest business and social circles when the news came that a legal action had been begun in Brooklyn N. Y., which recognized two women ns claiming to bt the widows of the late William Sinclair of Cantonsville. The Sipidairs have been moving in the highest society in Baltimore and the statement that another women besides Mrs. Phoebe Sin- clalr of Cantonsville claimed to bt Sinclair's widow causcd much wonder.

She was then taken to a 1- ispital in St Augustine, where she died after a few weeks illness. Just before death Mrs Sinclair wrote a will. Bequeathing property which she valued at$300,000 to Catholic institutions but only $15,000 worth has been found.

Oct 29.—The congregation of St James church, on James street, between Madison street and the Bowery were surprised at high mass yesterday, to see Saxton Daniel G. Daly go up to an Italian, on his knees engaged in prayer, and take him out to the vestry. The man was Sbezzie John Bettlsta, thirty-five years old. In the vestry Officer Baker, of the Fourth precinct, found on the man $27 in bills and ninety-five cents in dimes and nickels. About ten minutes before the services began Bettista bought a ticket for a seat from the sexton, giving a half dollar and receiving forty cents In change. Mr Daly found the coin to be counterfeit, and the prisoner was locked up on the saxtons complaint. During July and August a number of counterfeit half dollars were passed at the church. On one occasion two men were caught and a search revealed that they had |27 and $9 respectively In their possession. This money consisted of half! dollars and quarters, all of which were counterfeit.

St. Elmo Store, A pair of Clnl) Skates FREE with every Boys' Suit and Oyercoat An essentially Oriental story is told in Tlen-Tsin illustrating the venality of some of the Chinese officials. A gentleman residing in that city ordered a Chinese mason to bring the neces- sary clay to make some repairs In his fireplace. The mason appeared the next day with a cartload of what appeared to be cannon balls, but which were really sundried globes of clay painted black. Some time before hostilities with Japan began, Viceroy LI Inspected a number of vessels belonging to the northern squadron. Many of the ships were Insufficiently sup- were painted black. These innocuous missiles were then smuggled aboard several of the vessels and_when the ln- work manufacturing "fake" cannon balls out of clay, after which they bricklayers were at once set plied with ammunition, the money paid out for that purpose having been otherwise "appropriated." As this story would probably not meet with the approval of the viceroy, a number Among Japanoso Troops—Coulijo £ tlon of Shcug's Property. Washington, Oct. 2!).—The Japanese legation received a dispatch which confirms dispatches from Shanghai, of a second victory of tho Japanese army under Marshal Yamngata. The telegram is dated from Hiroshima and reads as follows: "Before dawn of Oct. 26 our army under Marshal Yamagata attacked Kiu-Len-Cheng, one of the important strongholds upon the Chi- nese frontier. The place was defended byr 16,000 Chinese troops under Generals Liu and Song. They fled after offering only a slight resistance and the Japa- nese forces took possession of the forti- fications and the city. They captured thirty large field guns, an immense quantity of rice, food of other kinds, etc., and more than three hundred tents. The Japanese loss was twenty killed and eighty-three wounded. The Chinese lost more than two hundred killed. The exact number of their wounded is not known." It is believed at the Japanese legation that the General Liu mentioned in this dispatch in the noted Chinese commander who played such a prominent part during the Tonklng difficulties, and to whom it was recently reported Viceroy Li had offered the chief command in the Chinese army. Some Interesting intelligence from the seat of war in the east is contained In recent mail advices at the legation. In the opinion of the Japanese press, there can be but one termination of the present struggle, and that Is the total overthrow and humiliation of the Chinese arms. The Nippon leaves it to the Judgment of the cabinet to determine what terms shall be dictated to the middle kingdom after the fall of Peking, which event It speaks of as though it were an accomplished fact. It advises the government, however, that China is ready at any time to re- lort to perfldlty and foul play and therefore, whatever promise she makes must bo guaranteed by ample security. Speaking of the war indemnity which China must pay, the Nippon suggests a sum amounting to ten times as much as the actual war expenses incurred by Japan; a sum sufficient for improving the military system of Japan; also to dictate such terms as will materially lessen the fighting capacity of China; to make China pay at once the whole sum agreed upon withdrawing the Japanese forces from her capital; to lake China agree to the temporary oc- cupation of a part of her territory If :he payment be in several installments or as an alternative taking from China so much of her territory as may be useful to Japan from an economic or a military point of view.
