PETERSBURG, Aug. |31 (3:55 a. m.)—The great bat- | tle of Liaoyang, which began early Tuesday 1norning, raged throughout the day with increas- | ing intensity. The Japanese forces engaged can only be estimated here, but they are believed to number about 200,000 men. Gen- eral Kuropatkin is known to have six army corps, besides 147 squadrons of cavalry, bringing up the Russian total to about the same number as that of the Jap- anese. How the armies compare with regard to artillery is not definite- ly known, though throughout the war the Japanese have shown great preference for this arm and great skill. in its use. Reports from the front credit the Jap- anese with having about 1200 guns and many mountain batter- ies, and it is known that they re- cently shipped 24 heavy guns to Yinkow. Four of these guns al- ready have been mentioned in these dispatches as being in action.

GENER AL Noozy. Japanese to Re- new Onslaught To-Day. ‘Kuropatkin’s Men Expect Fierce Attack. LIAOYANG, Aug. 30.—In the stubbornly fought battle which has been in progress since early morning all attempts of the Japanese to turn the Russian flank have been repulsed. It is said that the Japanese lost more than ten guns. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Japanese concentrated their fire on a Russian southern detachment and also tried to outflank the de- tachment from the right unde: the protection of the batteries. One company after another was noticed running swiftly to the westward in an attempt to out- flank the positions, but a Russian regiment and a battery were or- dered to advance and succeeded in forcing the enemy to retreat in disorder, evacuating positions they previously had gained. There was an immense expen- diture of ammunition throughout the day, especially on the southern front against the Russian Third Corps.

The Hebrew peddier went to the Marx home ‘one evening two years ago and he has not been seen since. The motive for the crimes can only be traced to a desire on the part of Marx to escape paying money to per- sons to whom he was indebted. The two men whose bodies have been found were six months behind in their wages, as was the young boy Harry, of whom no trace has yet been found. The theory is that Marx drugged his victims when they pressed him hard for their wages and then crushed their heads with an ax, after which the bodies were dismembered and buried. Each of the bodies already too [ found bears a hole in the forehead. The missing peddler went to the Marx home with a large quantity of articles, including clothing, cheap jewelry, etc., and was never seen again. A few days after this Marx tried to dell a miscel- laneous collection f_ clothing to a neighbor.
