PUNISHABLE WITH DEATH.
The Owners of the Brig o. q. Still
man Accused of a Terrible Crime.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-Frederick L. Clay
ton, senior partner of the ship brokerage
firm of +. l.. Clayton & Co., Alfred Brother
ton and Geo. W. Brown were today arrested
on warrant issued by United States Com
missioner Rogers, on charge of having
e0nspired to defraud insurance companies.
Clayton owned the brig o. B. Stillman, of
mfen bTfg ssisd ffom charsst5na s.
G., September 8, 1884, with cargo of slaves
for the West Indies, and on September "a she
was abandoned at sea. Seven months later
the brig was picked up and towed to Ber-
muda, when it was found number of holes
had been bored in her side below the water
line. Otherwise. she was in'excellent condi-
tion. The total insurance ON the brig and
cargo was $4,000, including $1,000 in Bos-
ton marine company, which had previously
been paid to Clayton. Clayton was released
on $4,000 bail, but for the others bail was
refused. A singular coincidence is the fact
that only this morning information was re-
ceived here that the schooner F. E. Mac
Donald, of which Brotherton took command
after the Stillman was wrecked, had been
cast away off Turks Island, from where she
was bound to Baltimore, and that the Nc
Donald was also owned by Clayton. The
offence with which BrOtherton is charged is
punishable with death.
[The 0. B. Stillman was brig of BOIL
tons met and was built in Deering in 1873

and Himself

WORCESTER, Sept 14.-Wm. H. Taylor aged
40, shot his wife and himself at their home on
Penn avenue this morning. Both are unconscious,
probably fatally wounded. Temporary insanity,
caused by recent illness, is supposed to be the
cause. Mr.. Taylor is a native of Webster, Mass,
and his wife of Chautauqua county, N. Y. They
leave two children, girl of 12 and boy of 10.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, with their son Allie, 10

Francis Plunkett, in the upstairs tenement, Mr..
Edward A. Dewey, train dispatcher for the Boston
& Albany railroad, occupying the lower part of
the house. Mr.. Dewey arose few minutes after
5 o'clock and heard Mr. Taylor up moving about
the house and heard him come out upon the rear
balcony He did not hear the shots, but his atten-
ton was attracted by Mr. Henry Hamilton, who
lives in the house No. SO Penn avenue coming into
the yard, and after looking up toward the piazza,
running up the back stairway, he asked: Whats
the trouble, Mr.. HamiltOn?" The latter replied:
~ do not know If there is any it is up stairs
They found Mr.. Taylor lying upon the sitting
room floor, with his feet toward the bedroom door
and his head toward the parlor. He clasped a
small 22calibre nickelplated revolver in his right
hand, which was laying across his abdomen. He
was breathing, but was unable to speak. Glanc-
ing at the bed they saw Mrs. Taylor lying in an
unconscious condition, but at first discovered no
wound, and supposed she had seen her husband
shoot himself and had tainted. Mr.. Dewey with
the assistance of others raised Mr.. Taylor and
placed him on the lounge He showed signs of
consciousness, but made no effort to speak, indi-
eating by signs that he cOuld,n A Mrs. Dona-
hue, who was employed by Mrs. Taylor, stayed in
the house over night and took Mr.. Taylor's little
son, Allie, into her room.

NOTES.

The Blue and Canada Southern lines give
notice that in connection with the reopening
OF the Northern New England route, via
Syracuse, all those interested win please
note that the business must not be taken to
points east of the Ogdensburg and Lake
Champlain railroad at less than 20 cents per
100 pounds, Chicago to New York on thir-
teenth class.
East bound shipments from Chicago for
last year. Lake Shore brought 22.5 per cent.
the largest, and Grand Trunk so per cent,
the smallest. The Vanderbilt lines carried
55.1 per cent of all the business, or 2O.3 per
cent. more than they carried last year. This
shows where the responsibility for the cut
rates lies, but it does not tell what the Van
derbllts want to accomplish by it.

that the time of year prevents concerted action
respecting his visit being taken on the part OF the
different inns of court. The legal profession,
however, will extend Chief Justice Waite that
cordial reception given by Americans to Lord

that the presence among us of judge yet more
