Great Naval Victory Sinks Two Chinese Ironclads at Wei Hai Wei
A cable from Wei Hai Wei reports the Chinese fleet largely eliminated after Japanese forces sank ironclads Chen Yuen and Ting Yuen. Fort Zhih and surrounding defenses suffered heavy damage as Japanese divisions bombarded the harbor, with two Chinese gunboats aiding. Admiral Ting reportedly ordered all captains to stay at post to destroy the fleet, and Japanese ships prepared to storm Lin Kung.

Rehearing Refused In Yetzer Helmer Case Tests
The long dispute over profits in the old W. H. Applegate & Co packing house partnership ended with a denial of a rehearing. J. C. Yetzer faced a claim by J. J. Helmer for accounting and debts tied to stock shipments and farm work. The supreme court affirmed a reduced lien on Yetzer's real estate, with the award now about 2,440.00 after prior holdings and bank-related proceedings. A later note covers the Grimes McCurdy wedding, local theater praise, and assorted town notices.
