Three persons are known to have been killed and five others seriously injured by the collapse of the suspen slon bridge across the Elk river, which connects east and west Charleston, W. Va. At the time the bridge went down there were six teams and six children on their way to school and a number of other pedestrians on the stmcture. The bridge went down without warn Ing, but a number of those who were near the ends of the structure man aged to reach land. Those who went down with the wreckage fell a distance of forty feet into the Icy covered waters of the river. The depth of the river at this point Is variously estimated at from ten to twenty feet and when the iron and lumUer wreckage struck the ice. It broke into fragments and those killed and several of the injured were thrown Into the water or swept under the ice farther down the stream. During the civil war the cable of this bridge was cut by General Wise when he evacuated Charleston, the bridge at the same time being partly burned. The same cable was afterward spliced and has been in use ever since. According to special correspondents with the Japanese army, the capture of the Kekwan fort was a complete surprise to the, Russian garrison, there having been no preparatory bombardment. Japanese sappers drove shafts forty feet under the parapet of the fort from the escarpment and moat In these two tons of dynamite were exploded simultaneously, completely wrecking the Interior of the fort, while siege and shrapnel guns shelled Russian troops In the vicinity. This occurred at 2 o'clock In the afternoon. A detachment of Japanese but premainfantry made a head-lonture rush and sixty of them became burled under a mass of debris, greatly delaying the attack. Despite this mischance another volunteer force dashed forward and captured the parapet. In the meantime the Russians had been strongly reinforced and a fierce struggle with bay- INDIAN KILLS HIS SWEETHEART. onets and grenades was continued till near midnight, when the few Russian Romance of Red Man Ends In Murder of Indian Maiden. survivors retreated to the city and the fort was captured.

For ferocity and sustained desperation on both sides, the struggle for the possession of High hill was probably the most remarkable In the history of the siege of Port Arthur1 a siege-notefor slaughter, according to advices from Russian sources. Commander Mlzzeneoff, who was wounded In the leg during the battle of High hill, said: "The Japanese were compelled ta clamber up the elopes of the hill, in many cases without firing, In the face of one of the most murderous deluges ever poured from rifles and machine guns. I was there and It seemed to me that flesh and blood would be unable to stand our fire for a minute. "The enemy went down in Bquada and companies, but always there were others grimly coming forward. Their bravery was beyond praise, as was that of our own men. Sometimes the with the fighting was muzzles of the rifles at the breasts of the contestants, the bayonets belnsj us'ed as swords. The sides of the hill were strewn with bodies and the snow was crimsoned with the blood of the wounded, some of whom had crawled into it, seeking in its coldness for their dying agonies. "Eventually, as In similar instances which were to follow, we retired, leaving the work of driving the enemy from the summit to the resistless guns of the neighboring forts, notably those of Liaotl mountain. "One Incident of this assault will remain forever Impressed on my mind. When the Japanese standard bearer reached the summit and planted his flag, a gigantic Russian corporal left his retreating comrades and rushing back, seized the Japanese flag, which he was tearing with his hands and his teeth when he fell, pierced with several bullets."

The nude body of a white woman. who Is believed to have been mur--s dered, has been found on Mount Cut-- i ler by two residents of Colorado' Springs, who were surveying. The body was lying face downward across a log, as If an attempt bad been made to destroy the features and prevent identification. Near the body was found a few hair pins and an empty bottle that had con tained gasoline, but every stitch of clothing had been removed. The body is that of a girl 18 years old, 6 feet 4 inches in height ana weighing about 125 pounds. It bears every indication of refinement. The fingers have signs of rings having been worn, but no trace of Jewelry could be found upon the girL The bead, shoulders and portions of the breast were badly burned, but the1 hair bad burned so slightly that it was only partially destroyed. That which is left Is of a light brown color and; would Indicate that tho deceased was a blonde. There is every Indication that tb young woman died of poison, the bands being clenched as thouch shei bad expired In convulsions. The the- ory most favored by the officers Is that; the girl was probably a visitor fromi the east, and, having been led astray by some man, was Induced to accompany him for an outing and killed by means of a poisoned lunch. 8ITUATI0N IN MACEDONIA.
