Chief of Police Cosgrove, of Duryea. has had many narrow escapes during the years he has been engaged in cleaning out the criminals of that borough, but what was probably the closest call of his, career he experienced Saturday last. It was while he was chasing the alleged burglars of Spudis's clothing store, this city, that he took his glimpse into eternity through the barrel of a cocked revolver, in the hand of a man that lie was pursuing. The four tramps who had the goods succeeded in getting out of the borough without being caught and commenced to walk along the Lehigh Valley cutoff tracks,. when the chief commenced to pursue them alone, He got nuite close before they discovered they were being followed, and then a chase commenced, in which the policeman had the advantage of being unhampered by bundles. Two of the tramps succeeded in getting away but the chief caught up with the other two and called on them to surrender. As he did so one of them pulled a 38-caltbre revolver ajid, aiming deliberately at the officer, tried to pull the trigger. Fortunately for the chief the gun refused to movo farther than half cock and before the tramp could adjust it he had the men covered with his own gun. After handcuffing them he started back to town and was met part way back by a few men who had come to help in the pursuit. The two men who got Sensational End to the Celebrated Dur- GRIPPENBERG TO COMMAND. yea B6rough Case This Morning.

This uiay be prompted by recognition of China's superstitious reverence for Mukden, the Japanese being anxious to remain on the best of terms with the Chinese. It is also likely that the presence of the II\m river in front of Mukden has convinced the Japanese of the impossibility, from a strategic point of view, of making a frontal Attack, while if they succeed in gaining a' footing at Fu pass or some other point on the north side of the river and north of Mukden they will render Kuropatkin's position in the city untenable and force him to evacuate without lighting and retire northward and give battle elsewhere should he decide to contest the Japanese advance.
