Car ranze as supreme chief of the revo lution arrives here tomorrow he will be shown original dispatches that the conquest of all three cities is com plete. News of the Torreon assault came exclusively in official dispatches dur ing the day. General Herrera, with his own bri gade and part of the Zaiagosa bri gade, all veterans, are reported to have entered Torreon from the east, 4,000 strong and to have fought their way from house to house and from street to street, until the bull ring on the northern fringe of the town had been taken together with the part of the city through which the railroad passes. This includes the business district or most of it. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Stirnau Hotel, in the heart of the city, was said to be in rebel hands and the armies were fighting for pos session of the railroad shops. City Reported Burning. The city was reported burning in several places, but as the buildings are' mostly of adobe there is no fear of a general conflagration. Unofficial advices from the front were that the Federals were concen trated in their last defenses in tne YOUNG LADY LOSES . HER WEEKS WAGES MONEY FOR ENTIRE WEEK'S WORK LOST BY MISS AMANDA SMALL. There are a large number of hon est people in New Bern. In fact al most anyone would be highly insult-. ed if someone told them that they were otherwise. However, there are some persons whose acts would lead one to believe that they would not be able to make good as a subject for old Diogenes; Yesterday afternoon Miss Amanda Small, one of the employes of The Journal office, received her pay en velope and started to her home on Broad street, little thinking that ere she reached her destination that the misfortune of losing her week's wages would befall her. Say to say, that is just what happened. Upon her arrivaUat her boarding house Miss Small found that the en-1 velope containing the money' had been. lost Retracing her steps she found the empty envelope less than a block away; someone having found it and extracted; the money there from.' Miss Small's name was on the envelope, and it would have been an easy matter for the finder to have looked her up. It Is not too late to do this now. ' Miss Small - .can be found at The Journal office any time during the day; and she will appre ciate the return of the money. LAST BRIEFS FILED. GIRL WORKER FOR UPLIFT WAS DESTITUTE IN HOTEL. ; .

Melville left tonight for Cleve land to bring the girl home. To Outskirts western part of the city. A message, time 5 P. M., from Go mez Palacio, signed by" Gen. Villa, said that he had concentrated his forces to force his way into Tori-eon there to join Gen. Herrera and take supreme command. Officials here declared that the Federals already had tried to escape from the city, but were driven back and were in no condition to withstand such an nt- lack as that of which Villa gave no tice in his telegram. A telegram received at 4 o'clock from Gen. Villa says that practically all of Torreon including the entire business section is in the hands of the rebels. Gen. Herrera, at the head of 4,000 men, is said to have entered the city from the east instead of the north, as at first reported, and is said to have fought his way through the streets to the bull ring on the north ern edge of the city. A second tele gram from Villa amended the first to show that the Federals were con centrated in their last defenses in the western portion of the city. Rebel officials here say that if the Federals do not hold their position there, they inevitably must be cap tured. Yilla was said to be preparing to renew the assault. The same telegram says that Fed eral Generals Pena, Reyna and Anaya have been killed and Gen. Ocaranza seriously wounded. T TO Deputy Sheriffs Huflf and Garrell Ac company Young White Man Who is Mentally Unbalanced. Yesterday Sperling H. Thomas, a well-known and popular young man about town, was" taken to the hos pital for the insane at Raleigh by Deputy Sheriffs John Huff and John Garrell. For some months past the young man has been suspected of being slightly unbalanced at times, but only for the past few weeks has his abnormal mental condition become marked. He was brought up in this city, and is well-known throughout the. section. He was of pleasing de meanor, and has held many responsi ble positions. He has been a travel-; ing salesman.

William Travers Jerome had al ready filed his final brief. . Judge Aldrich is expected to set a date for his final hearing and after that hearing to give his decision on Thaw's petition for a writ of habeas I corpus. The. Thaw attorneys urge , that the. "purpose of the State of New York to return Thaw to Matteawan makes this a misuse of the extradi tion laws to accomplish their ends."
