Turk* all alonjf the TehataIJa llnea.
Th. heavy artiiu r> du. i i oaliaued
throughout the day.
It appeared to he a Bulgarian
preparation for an Infantry attack.
The Turkish fleet participated vig?
orous!) in the defense at the XI ar
roera end of the line* and presuma?
bly the Turkish warships assembled
at the Black sen also took part.
Nasim Pasha, the Turkish com?
mander In chief, in a dispatch this
afternoon claims to have repulsed the
Bulgarian attack and destroyed three
Bulgarian batteries.
No news of the battle has been re?
ceived as yet from Sofia and no Infor?
mation as to the strength of the
forces engaged on either side.
Nasim Fashas headquarters are
near the Hademkeui railway sta?
tion According to Intest reports the
bottle ceased with nightfall.
Bulletins received from several
British correspondents near the front
today agreed that the long expect* d
battle at the TehataIJa lines was pro?
gressing. The cannonading was
clearly heard in Constantinople.
An official communication says that
au sttack by the Bulgarian right
wing st Blyuk Chelomedye has been
successfully repulsed. Another mes?
sage says the Bulgarians' left wing
hs>s been repulsed.
The French ambassador tele?
graphed at t o'clock that the battle
was still raging.
RtHI another message sent about 4
o'clock In the afternoon said that In
view of the heavy cannonade all day
the ambassadors had decided to land
detachments of bluejackets from the
foreign warships.
The smsll Oerman warships Lore
Is! was ssslgned to protect the railway
station.
According to the same message
perfect order preva,,< in Constanti?
nople.
The resumption of hostilities Is not
regarded as Indicating the collapse of ,
the poses negotiations but rather as a
means to hasten Turkey's acceptance
of the allies' terms by proving her
complete helplessne.w. or. as one cor?
respondent phrased It. "to establish
an accomplished fact before fur-, J
ther complications."
The : tut* trtun organ Mir reverts to
the sublect of peace and plainly lntl
matsa that th* allies are prepared to
consider the question of an alliance
with Turkey provided th* latter
promptly accepts their terms which
would live Turkey the opportunity of
welding her territories into a modern
state ar d making friends of her con?
querors. The Bslkan states clearly
have In mind the formation oi such
an alhan e aa would be able to defy
Kuropei n Interference In the dispo?
sition of the spoils of war.
Every day brings fresh dispatches
recording the terrible spread of
cholera. It is now stated there are
1 001 esses daily with s morality of
10 per cent, while the Turkish au- '
thorltlef are unable to tnke any meas?
ures t-> prevent Its further spread.
This r ein* the rasA. It is still doubt?
ed whether the Bulgarians will risk
the danger of s match on ?'onstantl-'

hostilities hsve been resumed In order
to burry th* port's acceptance of

An extarordlnary feature of condi?
tions bohild the Turkish lines at
Tchatalja is the indifference of the
army to the presence ol unauthorized
visitors. Any foreigner wearing either
a fes or a Kuropean hat may hire a
vehicle and drive to the Turkish en?
trenchments and inspect the troops.
There appears to be n<> cordon to pre?

gQTOfOl foreign officers, v/dio visited

the situation hopeless. The trenches
are only partly dug. A huge pile of

At Perk OS Lake, the chief source of '

is great fear that the whole watershed
will be contaminated, involving Con?
stantinople in the gravest danger.
The three physicians at Der kos have
been unable to do more than bury the

I for the Bulgarians to occupy the Tur?

?The great battle between the Bul?

Xaatm Pasha, the Turkish commander
In chief, sent the following dispatch
tonight:
*'The battle which commenced this
morning with an attack by Bulgarian
Infantry lasted until one hour after
sunset. The enemy, who advanced
chiefly facing our right wing and our
centre, was repulsed by our Infantry
and artillery fire. Three Bulgarian

All through the day the sound of
heavy guns was beard lit Constantino?
ple. It ceased only with darkness.
The firing along the entire line was
evidently preparatory to a general at?
tack.
The Turkish batteries replied vig?
orously.
The Turkish ships in the sea if

Black sea also took part in the en?

point are lacking.
In ths afternoon the wind shifted
and it seemed for a time as though
the battle had ended, but again the

carrying a complete equipment of
Maxim guns, were brought ashore. Ac?
commodations were prepared at the

A Cos Weekly Trade Review tomor?

"Business continues to expand, un?
checked by the Balkan war with its
grave European complications. The
domestic and foreign demand for iron
and Steel products is even larger than
before, breaking all records. Tho rail?
roads are making every effort to move
promptly the tremendous tratllc of the
country and at the same time are
making due preparation for the re?
quirements of the future. There are
also signs of preparation for the open?
ing of the Panama Canal. Bvlden fS
of the expansion in iron and steel was
furnished by the Increase of over a
million tons in the unfilled orders of
the leading interest last month. This
gain may be attributed in part to
the steady developmet of new export
business.
Heavy orders of pig iron have been
placed and quotations are firm with
only moderate tonnages available for
spot delivery.

Uihh?First Time in I i ist or) of
City?Mr. Scliabelltz, Contractor,
and His Dog,
'ihr Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company, since it commenced a se?
ries of extended improvements last
.spring, seems unable to Btop with the
Improvements on its freight and pas?
senger yards. At present numerous
changes are being made nt various j
places on the yard, which, when
completed, will give Sumter as good
i freight .md passenger yard as any
in tin- state, ?
Tin- work now under way has been
let out by the railroad to Mr. B. J.
Bchabelltz, who boasts of being the
youngest contractor doing railroad
work In this pari of th<- country. Mr.
Schabellts is now installing a cinder
pit. and a new turn table, at B point
between the present coal chute and
the Rowland Bugg) company building,
stund pipes for watering engines at
the pass, riper station yard, and a wa?
ter tank just In the rear of where the
water tank now stands near Harvln
street crossing. Besides these im?
provements Mr. Schah? lltx will erect
a new coal chute near the turn table
and cinder pit and will make other
improvements of the same nature in
the yard which are a part of his con?
tract secured from the railroad com?
pany.
Monday morning an engine was be?
ing set up at the place where the
work on the turn table was In prog?
ress. This engine will be used in
driving piles into the ground here as
a foundation for the structure which
Mr. Bhabellts expects to make very
secure. This la probably the first
time in the history of Sumter that
piles have been driven In the ground
for the foundation of any structure
in the city, something very unique in J
the history of building operations in j
Sumter. The foundations of all of
the structures will be of concrete and
the work on a number of them is well
under way now, and with no back
sets will be completed in the next
forty days. The work was com?
menced last week and has been
pushed forward with a full force of
hands since it was begun.
Mr. Schabelltz brought with him to
Sumter a force of some twenty Ital?
ian laborers who have been doing
most of the work up to last Saturday,
when they decided that they were not
getting enough pay and struck for
higher wages. Monday morning Mr.
Schabelitz stated that there was noth?
ing to say on the subject of the strike,
as he had prety near as full a force
of hands then as he had had pre?
viously with the Italians. He told
them if they did not want to work
for what hw was paying them they
could leave and this they did. Satur?
day afternoon they left for Wilming?
ton, where many of them have homes
and run small truck farms. Twelve
of them left in the strike and five were
left here who decided to go on with
the work. Negroes were employed
in the place of the deserting Italians,
although Mr. Schabelitz stated that
they did not work so well as did the
Italians, out of whom he had gotten
good service while they were at
work. There are nearly fifty men in
the force employed In the various
operations at different places on the
yard, most of this force being com?
posed of local men, although all of
the foremen and engineers are men
who have worked elsewhere with Mr.
Schabelitz. The Italians while here
had hired a residence in the western
part of the city and all seventeen of
them lived together, keeping a kind of
bachelor's hall, as it were.
Mr. Schelditz has attracted much at?
tention to himself on the street, as he
is always followed by a hugv Dane?
a dog as large In frame as any which
has ever been seen in Sumter. This
is Mr. BchabelltS'8 pet, though to the
ordinary spectator it appears a fearful
kind of pet. Mr. Schabelitz Is of
Swiss nationality and has been in this
country only six years, but he knows
the country and the language as well
as, and a great deal la ter than many
native Americans.
