AFTER MONTHS OF FASTING
Miss Kate Smulzy Dies Without
 Struggle.

struggle.
 TROY, N Y, April 9-Kate Smulzy, the Fort Plain faster died to-day without strug- gle in the presence of her family and physi- cian The funeral will be held Sunday at II &. m from the German Lutheran church in Fort Plain An autopsy will be held to-mor- row at the request of medical men in all parts of the country. Over a year ago Miss Smulzy contracted mysterious disease and few months after that to the day of her death she partook of scarcely any food. Dr. Kaler and scores of persons of repute will vouch for the truth of this statement. Miss Smulzy had been lying in comatose condition for several days, otherwise there was no change from her general condition and death was expected at any day, but she gave no indica- tion of it until the last moment. She had kept up courage from mere will power in the hope of recovery. There is no doubt that from March Ii, 1884, till the day before Thanksgiving last she did not eat anything. Upon that day she experienced peculiar sensation like the breaking away of something in her stomach and since then she had been able to take little nourishment in the shape of wine whey She was very much emaciated and weighed scarcely twenty five pounds. The family are German Lutherans. She was born at Fort Plain October 14, 1904 The family do not desire an autopsy. It will be remembered from accounts already given that she had been ailing from weakn ess since October, 1882, and that her disease had baf- fled all physicians who visited her. She was at first attended by Dr. Snyder and upon his death by Dr. Ayers and other noted phy- sicians.

PINKERToN MEN OPEN FIRE


 On the Strikers at the Mccormick Reaper Works-An Exciting Scene for a Few Moments.
 CHICAGO, April 9.-On Thursday notice was posted at the gates of the Mccormick reaper factory announcing that April 9 would be pay day for such of the strikers as would not return to work. To-day while the work of paying off was going on about five hundred of the strikers were in the i'm mediate vicinity discussing affairs About 12 o'clock 8 bus containing ten Pinkerton policemen drove from the works where they had been to assist in protecting property. On reaching the crowd the Pinkerton men suddenly opened fire upon them and volley after volley of shots were fired in rapid succession. The traces of fifteen bullets were found in the missing women and children. One of the bullets struck an aged man. George Roth, one of the strikers, who is now lying at the point of death at his home That not more people were wounded or killed is almost miracle. The men were dumb founded for moment. Then they stormed after the vehicle, firing several shots. Officer Kelley, who was on the spot, gave the alarm for the police patrol and the Pinkerton men were taken to the Hinman street station where it was thought advisable to transer the prisoners to the Twelfth street station. Crowds of excited men followed the patrol to both stations. Four of the prisoners were identified having fired in the direction of the spot where Roth fell. A heavy Colts five-shooter of 44-caiibre was taken from each of the prisoners. Two or three cham bers were empty in each weapon. The pris- oners, John Lyons, Robert McCallom John Coleman and Richard Hughes, are held ill S10000 bail each, furnished by Cyrus H. Mccormick, jr., and Superintendent Robertson of Pinkerton's agency. The Pink erton's men claim that the strikers stopped the horses and tried to overturn the bus, and considering their lives in danger, they fired.
 At o'clock tonight four Pinkerton men entered a bus at the agency headquarters. Driving to the Hinlnan street station they took in Captain ODcnnell and six police men. From there they proceeded to the reaper works to guard the property When within two hundred yards of their des- tination mob opened fire from shotguns and revolvers the bus and then upset it, capturing two cases of Winchester rifles. Upon recog nizing ODonnell the mob desisted and as sured that official that they would show all due respect for the law. The Pinkerton men were taken away in patrol wagon to avert further trouble

INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.-The civil service law is indefinite as to the class of clerks in the larger postofGcss that are subject to re- moval at will. To settle the question the local board of examiners at this place addressed letter to the commission at Washington. The following reply was received to-day:
 WASHINGTON, April G. Sir-Yours of the Slst of March has remained un- answered until now by reason of the need of con sulting the President on the questions raised; It has now been decided that the only places which be filled at your office without examination are the following First, assistant postmaster and cash fer; second, retail stamp clerks; third. chief of money order division; fourth, superintendent of mails; fifth. chief of registry department; sixth, superintendent of carriers.
 am, your obedient servant,
