The Babies In the Cradle.

Babies are very little things, yet they
leave great gaps of loneliness behind them
when they die. Mothers, save your little
ore by giving them Parker's Tonic when
they show signs OF being unwell. This IA
nous remedy is so pleasant that any infant
will take it, and it will soon quiet and re
move their aches and pains.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.



The Desperate Deed OF a Dfssipated Man.
New BEDFORD, Mass, June GA terri
Bile tragedy occurred in this city just before
noon to-day. in the Quitting store Of
Philip d. Slocrmb, No. IS South Water
street. Slocumb was sitting at his desk in
thecounting-roo when Charles Foss came
from back room, leaned moment against
the railing dividing the counting room from
the store, and without speaking a word,
drew revolver and fred one shot, which
entered Slocumb's head at the base of the
skull, and he fell from the stool to the floor
and died almost instantly. Immediately
after this Foss went to the back room, and
putting the muzzle of the pistol to his right
temple, pulled the trigger and fell to the
floor. Foss died within a, few minutes.
Slocumb is about forty five years old, mar
ried, and leaves widow and six children
Foss is forty years old, and has gone under

in New Hampshire, and has sailed from this
port on number of voyages. Slocumb

penter on the bark Wave. Foss is dissi-
pated, and has been under the influence Of
liquor during most of the time he has been
here. He asked Slocumb when. he came
here to ship him to Hudson Bay, as he
wanted to die if he could not be cured of
the curse of drinking, and he had asked
Slocumb several times this forenoon if lie
was not going to ship him soon, but did not
seem ill-natdred. It is not known that they

EXCELLENT FIRE WORK
That Saved an Oakum Factory Near
the Reservoir.

InaC saved an Oakum EHctOfy NEAR
the Reservoir.
That Jersey City possesses an excellent
fire department was practically illustrated
yesterday when box 70 was pulled. A fire
broke out in the top floor of the oakum de-
partment of Deary Il Sons factory on
Laidlaw avenue, through spark caused
by one of the teeth of the iron picker
striking nail The loose oakum was ig-
nited, and in a moment the flames spread
through the ROOM Three engines and
truck cover box 70, and before the alarm
had fairly died away, No. engine had two
lines of hose l stretched and . stream
pouring into the windows. Four truck
was on the scene shortly after, and ladders
were promptly raised. Commissioner Is
ley and Chief Farrler were soon on hand.
The latter deemed the fire of sufficient
magnitude to send out second alarm.
The factory is double building, and in
the paste board portion were quantities of
infammable material With the arrival of
the companies on the second alarm, the
fire was soon under control, being confined
to the floor on which it originated. The
total loss will be less than 5000, which is
covered by Insurance. On the way to the
fire engine No 8 broke down at Bergen
Square, an axle which had been recently
repaired swapping close to the wheel.

THE GREENYILLE MURDER.
Points About an Approaching Trial
That VIII be Notable.

The trial of Henry Brehm, for the MUIR
der of John Joseph Schaublen, at Green
vile, some months ago, which is to begin
at the Coart house GU Tuesday, promises to
be notable in more respects than one. The
great question in the case will be one of
time. Schaublen and Brehm had quareled
in q saloon. Brehm went out ahead of
Schaublen, and the next known of them
they were engaged in the deadly struggle,
block and half from the saloon. The
State will claim that Brehm lay in wait for
the luckless cigar dealer. The defense set
up will probably be that Schaublin followed
the younger man out and assaulted him
with bottle, and that he lBrehm) did the
cutting in self-defense. The State, through
District-Attorney Winfield, has had the
grounds carefully surveyed, and made
the most elaborate preparations to show
that Brehm had plenty of time to get
home before the fatal affray. If he did,
the State will require him to answer the
question why he was not at home. A sim
gnlar feature of the case is that the Grand
Jury at first indicted Brehm only for man
slaughter, but afterwards presented the
bill for murder, with an assurance
from some source that conviction
for manslaughter only would be pressed
for. In all cases of homicide, the
formal presentment of grand jury is
for murder, the question OF the degree of
guilt being left for determination by the
Court 1t is said, however, that the State
has come into possession of important new
testimony since the Indictment. A witness
will be produced whose testimony will,
it is said, go far towards sustaining the
allegation that Brehm lay in wait for his
victim. This is not the man, SO it is said,
who heard Schaublen's plea for his life,
and who afterwards saw him lying in
pool of blood on the sidewalk, but an en-
tirely new witness whose name has not yet
been mentioned in connection with the
case. One Of the exhibits in the States
case will be the artery that Brehm severed
with his knife. 1t was the main femoral
artery, and is as big as lead pencil.
There was no blood in Schaublen's body at
all when his body was found.
Since her husbands death Mrs. Schau-
blen and her children have been supported
minaly by charity. She proposes after
the trial to return TO Germany.

that Count Tolstoi, Minister of the Interior,
is about to resign, and that the Minister Of
the Imperial Domains will succeed him. 1t
is stated that the Gar will attend the mill

The Nocosti (newspaper) announces that
it has been privately informed from the
Caucasus that the Ameer of Afghanistan
(Abdurrahman) had been murdered by his
suite. 1t is said that the murder took place
in Persia. where the Ameer was at the time
travelling, and that Ayoub Khan, the de-
posed Ameer, will be his successor. The
report causes much excitement.
The reported murder of the Ameer is
doubted in official circles here, as the gov
eminent had received no information up to
a late hour this afternoon tending to COM
firm the rumor. Some believe that the
report is stock-jobbing canard.

VICTORIOUS YESTERDAY.
The Jersey City Club Win Their First
Game Yesterdy With the winning
tom Club.


Yesterday afternoon the. Jersey City and
Wilmington mines met for the first time on
the Grand steeet grounds. The visitors
went to the bat and sent Johnson to the
plate. He went out on a ground ball to
third base, thrown to first. Two more went
out in the same STYLE Mclaughlin went
to first base on three strikes, the catcher
letting the last one pass. He stole te second
bag and came home on Friels base-hit
Friel got third on McCormack's hit, and
came home on Cuffs. Cuff was forced off
first by McDaughlin's hit and put out at
second. Callahan made a good hit and
got third. Fields got his base on balls,
stole second and made room for Burns who
got his base on an error. This left three
on bases. Lang went out on fly to left,
and was forced out on second by Hughes
short hit to short-stop. In the mean time
three runs had been made They playing
was steady but not brilliant. Callahan,
formerly of the Indianapolis club, played
third base instead of McCorm, and his
superior playing was very noticeable. Mo
Cormack played left field and did not play
any better than usual, Bradley, it is
rumored, was suspended for not being out
in time for practice yesterday morning.
The pitching by Hughes for the home nine,
and Pollard for the visitors, was very eff
fective, but the support in the field was
not up to the standard. 1t Is believed that
Murnan is gone for good. The rest of the
play can be judged by the first inning.

Hugh Mclaughlin. the well-known leader
of Brooklyn's Democracy, had been offered
and had accepted the Collectorship of this

politicians around the Brooklyn City Hall

appear in his accustomed haunts, and every
one was anxious to see him and learn
whether the report was true or not. Mrs.
Mclaughlin told a Mail and Express repor-

the subject of the Collectorship. She stated
that the visit of Gov Hill to their residence
on Sunday was purely of social nature

A Case for the Board of Health.

Yesterday Mr.. Van Pelt, of Old Bergen
Road, called at the Fourth Precinct station
house and made very serious complaint.
1t appears, from his story, that during the
administration of the last Board of Works,
while Mr. Lembeck was President, the city
purchased some property to open thor
oughfare between Old Bergen Road and
Ocean avenue. The house and the water
closet were removed to Pamrspo avenue,
but the vault, it is claimed, was never
cleaned out. The stencil from the pit
caused Mr.. Van Pelt to appeal to the police.
The matter will be referred to the Board of
Health.
