RUSSIANS QUIT PEKIN.
Plan Decided on Long Ago Is Carried Out.
AMERICANS PREPARE TO FOLLOW.
Chaffee Has Received His Orders and Designated What Troops Are to Remain—The Rest Are In Readiness to Go to Manila.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 1.—The following dispatch, dated Pekin, Sept. 27, has been received from M. De Giers, Russian minister to China:
"In accordance with orders from the highest quarters, I am leaving for Tien Tsin with the whole legation."
PEKIN, Sept. 28, via Taku, Sept. 29, via Shanghai, Oct. 1.—At the conference of generals yesterday the Russian commander, General Linevitch, announced the immediate withdrawal from Pekin of the bulk of the Russian troops and the legation. He will leave on Thursday, Sept. 27, and the legation will follow on Saturday. There will remain a mixed force of about 2,000 to represent Russia.
General Linevitch asserted that the dispatch from St. Petersburg transmitting the order to withdraw contained a statement that all the powers were adopting the same policy. The other generals replied that they had received no orders to that nature.
German and Japanese columns are operating to the southward, near the imperial deer park.
Sir Alfred Gaselee, the British commander, has gone to Tien Tsin to inspect the British troops there.
Friction between the British and Russians over the railway continues, each party seizing and guarding small sections. The repairing is unsystematic and the completion of the work very indefinite.

AMERICANS WITHDRAWING.
Chaffee Will Leave Regiment of Infantry, Cavalry Squadron and Battery of Artillery to Guard Our Legation.
TIEN TSIN, Sept. 29, via Shanghai, Oct. 1.—Orders from Washington directing the withdrawal of the [rest] of the American troops were received yesterday afternoon and preparations to comply were begun immediately. General Chaffee is here directing the movement, which will commence at the earliest possible moment.
It is understood that the plan contemplates leaving a regiment of infantry, a squadron of cavalry and a battery of artillery in Pekin to protect American interests and that the remainder of the troops will proceed to Manila.
The allied commanders had decided to dispatch a combined land and naval expedition to Shan Kai Kwan on the Gulf of Liao Tung, leaving Taku Oct. 1, the total force being 4,200. The American detail had not yet been made, nor had a decision been reached as to the naval force. Now that the order to withdraw has been received from Washington it is possible that the plans for the expedition will have to be modified, so far as American participation is concerned. General Chaffee, however, is proceeding on the opposite assumption and has ordered the Fifth Marine battalion to prepare to go.
The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn will probably be the only American warship in the expedition. The troops will go by water and be landed south of Shan Hai Kwan. They will co-operate with a large Russian contingent on the way.
The news of the American withdrawal created a sensation among the representatives of the other powers here.

Edward A. Bond.
Edward A. Bond of Watertown, renominated for state engineer and surveyor, was born at Dexter, Mich., on April 22, 1849. His experience as an engineer has extended from 1867, when his first work was done for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, to the present time. He continued in the employ of that company till 1870, when he became assistant to Chief Engineer Thomas W. Spencer of the Utica and Black River railway. When Mr. Spencer resigned in 1875 Mr. Bond became his successor and in that capacity had charge of the building of the lines from Lowville to Clayton and Ogdensburg. He remained in this position till the spring of 1886, when he became chief engineer and general superintendent of the Carthage and Adirondack railway, from Carthage to Benson mines and the Oswegatchie river. In 1889 he removed to Watertown and became a member of the engineering firm of Hinds & Bond. He has designed and executed many important engineering and public works in various points in this and other states.
MARCHING MINERS
DEMANDED AND HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF THE HIGHWAY.
But Were Commanded Not to Loiter--Raised Their Arms to Show That They Were Unarmed.
HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 1.—This has been the most exciting morning of the strike. Marches are the order of the day. It was clear that the men were making a desperate effort to prevent any stampedes to the mines.
Over five hundred men gathered at dawn near Lattimer and marched to the town. They were confronted by Sheriff Harvey and 100 deputies and coal and iron police, drawn up across the road. Harvey commanded the marchers to stop, but their leaders had given orders which were obeyed and resulted in a most impressive sight. As the sheriff commanded the crowd to halt, one of the leaders cried, "We are unarmed, we demand the right of highway." At the same time he raised his arms above his head and the whole crowd of marchers did likewise. With their arms upraised they marched steadily to the line of officers and pushed through, down the road and into the single street of Lattimer. They were careful not to step off the road, but they called to the sleeping miners not to work to-day. They stopped at one place and Harvey came up. "Boys," he said, "I must do my duty. You have demanded the right of highway but you must not loiter. I am compelled to tell you to move on." The men marched on out of the town then wheeled and with upraised arms they again broke through the lines of deputies and marched the length of town urging all the miners to remain idle.

Parker and Miss H. E. Griffin of the faculty and Mr. Truman F. Wedge, president of the Gamma Sigma fraternity. A musical program was rendered and heartily enjoyed. There was present a large representation of the student body, and a generally good time was spent.
GOLDEN WEDDING.
Dr. and Mrs. H. O. Jewett Observe Their Fiftieth Anniversary.
Fifty years ago to-day Dr. H. O. Jewett and Miss Matilda E. Ingalls were married at the home of the latter in Summerhill. Both have been privileged to see the golden anniversary of that day come about and the occasion was observed very quietly to-day in a family gathering and dinner party at their home, 58 North Main-st. There were present Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Jewett and daughter Helen of Cortland, Mr. G. S. P. Jewett of Utica, Dr. C. E. Ingalls of Cortland and Rev. and Mrs. John Arthur of Oneida.
MARK-WADSWORTH.
Nuptial Event Prettily Celebrated at the Bride's Home in Solon, N. Y.
On Wednesday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Wadworth in Solon occurred the marriage of their youngest daughter, Mary L., to Mr. Charles H. Mark of Truxton, N. Y., in the presence of numerous relatives and friends. The house was decorated with evergreens, potted plants and cut flowers. The ceremony took place at 1 o'clock under a beautiful evergreen arch, from which was suspended a very handsome horseshoe of white asters. Rev. A. Bergen Browe of McGraw officiated. The bride was robed in white and carried a bouquet of white asters. Miss Maud Bingham was bridesmaid and Frank Wadsworth, brother of the bride, best man. Mrs. Charles Ellis, a sister of the bride, played the wedding march. The presents were numerous and valuable. After refreshments had been served, the guests proceeded to fill the remnant of time with merrymaking that will ever shine as a bright link in the chain of remembrance of all the happy participants, while the bridal party left for parts unknown amid showers of rice and best wishes. The out-of-town guests were from Lebanon, Georgetown, Truxton, Cortland and McGraw.—CYNTHIA A.
A DOUBLE MISTAKE.
Father and Son Each Took the Other for a Burglar.
An exciting scene was enacted at the home and store of C. M. Smith, 86 Owego-st., Cortland, early yesterday morning when Mr. Smith and his son, Ira W. Smith, each mistook the other for a burgler. The father was sitting up late looking over some papers and started to retire at about 1 o'clock. His son heard him about the house and called, but received no answer. Thinking that a burglar had entered the house, he picked up his revolver and started down stairs to investigate. The father did not see his son approach till he was quite close to him, and then he did not recognize him, but hurled the lamp at him. Fortunately the lamp was blown out while on its trip toward the would-be burglar's head but a quick dodge let that article of household furniture pass. Then began a storm of bullets on the one hand and on the other a fusillade of different articles that lay in the elder gentleman's way. Finally Mr. Smith took refuge behind a stove and it was at this stage of the game that Mrs. Smith arrived and shed some light on the extremely awkward position.
It took some persuasion on the part of the family to make Mr. Smith believe that his son was not trying to assault him, but he now sees the point and congratulates his son upon his watchfulness.

"The Real David Harum."
No novel in recent days has reached the sales of "David Harum." Everybody has read it, and nearly everybody in this vicinity has known more or less of the original of the central figure of that book, David Hannum of Homer. Questions are constantly asked in regard to him by those who have a/desire to know more. This has led Arthur T. Vance to prepare a little volume which has just been issued by the Baker & Taylor Co. of New York under the title of "The Real David Harum." It is a book of about one hundred twenty pages with eleven full page illustrations, cloth bound and retails for 75 cents. It contains many anecdotes of Mr. Hannum not heretofore published and a considerable amount of historical matter. Mr. Hannum's connection with the famous Cardiff giant is told at length in these pages. The book is on sale at McKinney & Doubleday's.
Y. M. C. A. JUBILEE SERVICES.
Strong Addresses by Two Local Pastors—Fine Music—Good Attendance.
One hundred men gathered in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon at the opening service of the fall work of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. B. L. Webb, as leader of the service, formally expressed the thanks of the board of directors for the evident sympathy and ready co-operation of the citizens in putting the association on a sound financial basis for the remainder of the year, and thereby enabling the directors to give undivided attention to increasing the efficiency of the work in all departments. Rev. Mr. Yost spoke briefly but pointedly on the question, "How Shall We Treat the Faith thus Reposed in Us as an Association?" Rev. Robert Clements urged the active members and friends to give of their time and thought and service as nobly as they had of their money. Mr. G. O. Bowen led the singing and gave a tenor solo of remarkable beauty and power. R. I. Carpenter rendered a violin solo as offertory. The meeting was marked by a deep earnestness of interest and purpose to make the Sunday services count for something in the building up of Christian character in the lives of the men of Cortland.
