Unlucky Fellow.

Professor Harry E. Gunther, of Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, who has made a
host of friends in San Antonio during
his stay of several months here, was to
have left this morning for his home to
spend the summer, intending to return
in the fall. An untoward accident oc-
cured to him this morning which will
postpone his journey for some days,
however, and which, while it keeps him
that much longer among US, is greatly
to be deplored. AS he was in the act Of
leaping from light wagon to enter the
union railway ticket office, in the Kamp-
man building, his foot caught in the
wheel. and he was thrown heavily to
the ground. Friends assisted him TO
Bells jewelry store, and a physician was
sent for 1t is thought his leg is broken.

there is no clue to the robbers. mother
incident has occurred that is Of more i'm
portance. A few days ago farmer, re-
siding in the neighbOrhOOd Of the muir
dered family, plOwed field, and in so
doing, turned up a shirt that was badly
stained with human blood. This shirt
is recognized as being the one that was
seen concealed behind a box in Judd
Crouch's house, and which mysteriOusly
disappeared. The attention OF the police
is now directed to these two Incidents,
and It is thought that the missing link
in the chain OF evidence will be found
that will secure the conviction Of the
murderers and avenge the most terri
BILE crime that stains the criminal
records of our country.

QUADRUPLE MURDER

was committed, but the doctor swore
positively that he could not have inflict-
ed the fatal wound and the jury de-
cided that he was murdered by some
person or persons unknown. Lorenzo
d. Bean, neighbOr of Crouch's, had
his reason overbalanoed by the crime,
and died soon after in mental agony. A
II. Lee, another neighbOr, was affected
in the same way and suicided.
For nearly year the matter has slept
and all have despaired of tracing the
despicable Williams who did the murder,
when other incidents cropped up that
have revived the interest in this matter
and led to the hopes Of detection of the
guilty. Recently while Daniel Hol-
comb was away in Wisconsin getting a
new Mrs. Holcomb, masked men en-
tered the HolcOmb homestead and stole
a quantity of papers and silver-ware.

THE FISHERIES TROUBLES.
New lndignities Heaped Upon American Fish

The armed fishing schooner, Augusta Ehrrick,
which left Boston July IL, bound for ST. Law

house at noon to-day. Captain Herrick imme-
diatey went ashore and entered his arrival
Collector Murray said water privileges would be
permitted for twenty-four hours only. At the
end of that time the vessel would be seized IL
not out of port no matter what the weather
might be. Early this morning Captain Herrick
and the Globe correspondent boarded the fish
ing steamer Novelty, loading wood several miles
below Port Mulgrave, in Canso strait. Capt
Joyce said the Novelty was about to start for
Boston with s full cargo of six hundred barrels
of mackerel. He said the Novelty had met
many difficulties since reaching the bay. He
was refused all harbor privileges at Pictou,
except twenty-four hours to get wood and water.
When he asked if he would not have the right to
purchase fuel outside the three mile limit the
customs authorities replied that the government
would not have the power to touch tho Novelty
for receiving the coal, but the Canadian cruisers
would seize the vessel that conveyed the coal to
the Novelty. For this reason Captain Joyce
would not coal. The Novelty entered the har-
Dor at Tignish and duly registered at the
custom house there. Every man who left the

The Canadian government official who

of law and justice. and has brought the govern
ment into serious trouble if the United States
authorities are inclined to push the matter.
Under the laws at present American fishermen
