Deaths
 JERSEY CTrY, Oct. 2.-Francis S. Chan frau's sudden death has snapped another link in the dramatic chain that binds the present generation of theater-goers to the last. Last evening Chanfrau sat in Taylor's Hotel discussing with party of friends the sad calamity that had befallen John McCul- tough, when the hand of death struck him down. He had just remarked with sigh, E'Ah well, boys, my turn will come next, and it was the voice of prophecy The stroke of paralysis was mortal. Around the deathbed stood his two sorrowing sons, Henry and Frank, and his sister -in-law, Miss Baker The best medical attendance proved futile and at 515 this morning the veteran actor passed away in gentle sleep. The remains will be inferred in the family vault in the Long Branch cemetery and the funeral services will be held on Sunday. The season will be interrupted for week or more, when it will be resumed with Henry T., the dead come dian's son, in the role of 'tKitn Chanfrau leaves fortune of $200, ,000.

al Faluctble Record. THE Cum
berland Ne,os of Thursday states that
''Major Van Doren, pension ex-
aminer, has just obtained through
Thomas Hill, of Frostburg, one of tn,
surgeons records of the hospital To-
Gated at Clarysville during the wal.
The book contains the names of tn,
men, with personal description, detail:
as to rank, enlistment, etc., and the
certificate of disability of each man.
These certificates are important in
pension cases, as they show when the
injury causing the disability was re-
ceived. with other details. The history
of the book since it passed from the
official who kept it, until the present
time, is curious. When the Cluysvill,
buildings and furnishing were sold The
book was purchased by Hitchin
Brothers and secured by r. P. Mason,
of Frostburg, as a souvenir. Nh.
Mason, not knowing the value of the
record, started using it as scrap book.
There are eighty cases recorded in Il e
book. and if no duplicate of it is IN
file it will prove very valuable. Major
Van Doren yesterday forwarded the
book to the commissioner of pensions,
to be transmitted by him to the War
Department"

In the melee Shumate flourish ed a
knife so close to Norris winti-pipe
that John T. Parker imagined that
Shumate medltated All unlawful eXper-

PORTED, else the atmospheric duct
might have been laid open. Then the
hero of this thrilling sketch turned to
the cheerful work OF carving Parker
into minee-meat. Two cuts at the left
arm sliced the files h between the elbow
and shoulder, and one severed two
arteries leading to the fore and middle
fingers of the right hand. Shumate
was arrested and confined in the cooler
until Tuesday morning, when Squire
H. r. Atkinson heard reports of the
ARRAY from witnesses. Under an Or

mulcted in the sum Of S. fine, and was
futher held in the sum of $500 to APP
