NET HIS DEATH.
In a Chicago saloon Among Pugiiists
and Fighters.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.
Major William NJ. Durrell, widely known
among the wheelmen of America and the
western agent of the Pope Manufacturing
Co., died quite suddenly last Wednesday
morning. Apoplexy was supposed TO have
been the cause.
Major Dsrrell had been largely interested
financially and otherwise. in athletic sports at
Cheltenham beach, and also in Duncan c.
Ross. His friends were not quite satisfied
with the ply scian's diagnosis of the cause of
his death and determined to investigate, and
in this connection some startling facts have
been brought to light by the In,er-Ocesn this
morning. Apoplexy is conceded to be the
cause of his death, but the apoplectic stroke
is the direct result, SO it is alleged BY detec-
tives who have worked up the case, of a
brutal beating the Maj received last Tues
day night ii a sporting resort on Clark street
near Monroe, here he had G. ne in company
with Duncan c. Ross. Ho met Paddy Ryan,
the pHglist, Harrison, "the unknown" and
numerous lesser lights in the sporting world.
Numerous fights are said to have taken place
during the evening between RYAN and Harri-
son owing TO a desire to settle old sores
Others were also drawn into quarrels, and
finally the fighting became so general that
everybody was drawn iRto it, either from
love OF DroIl or Tor self-preseryatlon. 1t is
not vet known why the Major was set upon,
but he got away from the place at 10 o'clock
and went to his home, where he complained
TO his wife of a sevcre pain in his head. A
physician was at once called and found that
there was pronounced determination OF
blood to the head. Fearing apoplexy he ad-
ministered hypodermiC injections.
At o'clock the next morning Mrs. Durrell
was awakened by the heavy gasping of her
husband Before physician could be sum-
moned he was dead. An examination show ed
that the deceased had received severe injuries
from numerous kicks and blows. Friends
of Major Durrell, on learning these facts,
Immediately proceeded TO investigate the
matter, and are satisfied that the deceased re-
ceived injuries which caused his death during
a fight which occurred in the saloon and in
the alley adjacent, and in which Paddy
Ryan. the pugiist, Harrison, "the un-
KNOWN" so-calle1, and others Of that ilk
were engaged
The Major was gentleman, both by birth
and education. had served in the Confederate
army with distinction aud honorably earned
his title. He also lost an arm in the service.
He was known as generous man, a true
hearted friend, and genial companion, and
his untimely death will be deeply mourned
by wide circle of friends.

THE ANARCHISTS.
The Defense Try to Show that FieIden is
an Industrious Workingman.

CHICAGO, Aug 6.
Samuel Fielden, one of the anarchists on
trial, was called to the stand today. He cor
robOrated the testimony of the other witnesses
for the defense as to the meeting held at the
Arbeiter Zeitung office early in the evening of
May 4. From there he accompanied Parsons
to Haymarket, arriving at the conclusion of
Spies speech.
Parsons then spoke and the witness being
introduced by Spies, spoke about twenty min
utes. He repeated the substance of his
his speech which was about the same as re-
ported by the papers. Arriving at that por-
ton of his speech where he was reported to
have advised that the law be .'throttled," he
said he Ised the term in a fgurative sense,
meaning that the law which did not protect
the people should be abolished
The witness spoke fuently in slightly
tremulous tone of voice, and related the sub
sequent events about as follows;
"As | was concluding my remarks no.
tced the police coming toward me. When
they were quite close Capt. Ward said in an
angry tone of voice, Il command you in the
name of the State of Illinois to dsperse. |
then stepped down from the wagon and said
in concitiatory tone of voice, why, Capt,
this is peaceable meeting. He made an an
gry retort and started for the sidewalk As
1 WaIkeu along L saw nasn across my
shoulder and heard the explosion of a bomb.
Then | heard the police pouring shots
into the crowd from their revolv-
ers and many groans of agony. About
this time felt sharp pain in my knee but
didn't know l was shot until reached Des-
PLANES street. | boarded car going toward
Fifth avenue, intending to visit the Arbeiter
Zeitung office, to see if any of the others had
arrived and to learn whether they had been
wounded. There was no Light in the build
ing. | got nv wound dressed and went
home
The remainder of Fieldens testimony re-
lated to such terms of defense as 'the police
did all the firing; there was no intention to
use dynamite or any kind of force al Hay
market, etc.
The defense brought into considerable
prominence that Fielden was an industrious
and prosperous workingman, who never
owned a revolver in his life and didn't use
one at Haymarket. Hi. direct examination
will be continued tomorrow.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An Express Train COlIides With a Flat
Car-The Engine Wrecked and Three
Cars Thrown from the Track.

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, Aug. 6.
The White Mountain express due here at 3
p. M came in collision with a fiat car a
quarter of mile below the depot, in which
the engine was wrecked and the baggage and
two drawing room cars were thrown from
the track. The train was heavily loaded but
fortunately no one was dangerously injured
though baggage master Smell was considerably
bruised by the heavy baggage, while some Of
the passengers were pitched out of their
seats. The train was running at the rate of
80 miles an hour, and was rounding a curve
when the fat car was discovered, too late to
prevent the collision. The car landed oD top
of the engine which was partly buried in the
ground, while the track was torn up, ties and
rails scattered, and two or three derailed cars
tipped partially over. The accident was the
result of csrelessness, the fat car having run
over the switch by the loosening of brake
by some workmen just before the arrival of
the express. Trains are delayed from one to
to two hours by the accident.

A WHOLESALE SEIZURE.
Twenty-Five Boats Seized on the Charge
Ot Smuggling.
EAsTPoRT, Aug. 6

EAsTPoRT, Aug. 6.
J. ID. Bonness, special Canadian customs
officer. seized % fishing boats, Yesterday, at
Deer ISLAND, valued from two to four hun
dred dollars each, for smuggling, The boats
were released by the owners depositng the
penalty, in each case amounting to the boats
value. There were two charges against them.
The first was smuggling the boats themselves
when the fish treaty was abrOgated. Deer
Island fishermen brought the boats to East
port, entered and paid duties on them, thus
making the N American boats although built
and owned in Car ada. The Csnaoian gov
ernment will not permit American boats to
be brought to Canada and owned there with
out paying a duty so that the boats become
forfeited the same As other smuggled goods.
This will prevent New Brunswick boat men
from bringing sardnes to Eastport without
paving duties on this side.
