 several attempts at train wrecking have been made lately. On the former road piece of iron was found in the machinery of an en- zine, disabling it and nearly causing wreck.

The attempt on the Lake Shore was by turning a switch near the stock yards. Three cars were wrecked. but no one hurt. Two dis, charged switchmen have been arrested on suspicion A gaspipe containing a substance supposed to be an explosive was found on the Lake Shore tracks in South Chicago to-

WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY. The S0merv1lle BOrgia Always In Debt Even Though She Received Heaps of Money.

The Somerv1lIe Borgia Always In
 Debt Even Though She Received
 Heaps of Money.
 BOSTON, Aug. 17.-One of the mysteries of the Somerville poisoning horror is the disposition of the money Mrs. Robinson re- ceived. She received from time to time thousands of dollars in insurance benefits and from other sources. Every day some new person steps to the front and says she owed him so much. It is known that her daughter Elizabeth was working in a store at $9 week while Willie was receiving 8 salary. This money was all turned into the family. Mrs. Robinson was apparently des- titute, notwithstanding her many ways of receiving money. "I am inclined to think, , said Somerville physician to day, "that the woman has money concealed somewhere. At times she spent literally, but her receipts appear to have been enormous. She must have received $25,O ,O0O during the past six years. Then she boarded various people, got her money, but did not even pay the rent" Charles Benjamin Sleeper, brother of Oliver, who was one of Mrs Robinson's supposed victims, says that Oliver was worth $2O 1000, but only $10,000 could be found after his death. There are no more post-mortem examinations to be held at present, if at all. The government it IS expected will push but one case, that of Willie's death, and in this there is said to be evidence of a conclusive character. The police were in secret session to-day, looking over evidence and preparing for to-morrow's examination.
 The Dr. D. D. Beers, wanted in Boston for alleged complicity with the Somerville Borgia, was sent to prison for burglary in Birmingham, Ct., twenty years ago. In prison he was made nurse and that is whe re he acquired what little he knew of medicine. After serving his term he went about the country fpeddling nostrums. He married beautiful Birmingham girl, who obtained divorce when he was imprisoned, but re married him upon his release.

GETTING MAD.
A Disastrous Mackerel Season-Yan
 kee Tars and Canadians.

A D1SaSGfOu8 NAaCkefe1 SeaSOn-x an kee Tars and Canadians.
 The mackerel fishing business is failure this season, so the captain of mackerel schooner which put in at Saybrook Sunday says. Not one out of the several hundreds of vessels engaged in the business had barely paid expenses. Fish have been scarce and the most that have been caught were small and not worth salting. There are no fsh oh Block Island as there usually sre at this sea- son of the year, and owing to the restrictions placed upon them by the colonial authorities the fishing off Nova Scotia is beset by SC many difficulties as to render it unproftable. ''Even the three miles from shore does not satisfy the greedy fellows" said the bluff old sailor, land we are frequently ordered pn when outside of that limit, the cruisers de fning the distance to suit themselves. But we are not always going to stand this mon keying, and one of these days those Canadi ans will run afoul of a Yankee that will show fight, and it will result in sound thrashing for the Britishers.'

RUSSIA MUST ANSWER YES OR NO Or England Will Recall the Afghan
 Roun6arv Corr. mn. @sfon

LONDON, Aug. 17.-An official denial has been made of the Standards statement that the government has decided to recall the Afghan boundary commission. It is ex- plained that the government will take no ac- tion until it has received reply from Rus sia in respect to England's views concerning a small portion of the boundary not yet set tied in the Oxus district In any event the commission will return before winter. De- spite these statements the impression pre- vails that the Standards assertion is substan- tially correct The understanding is that the government has required of Russia reply, yes or no, in reference to the portion of the boundary in question. It is extremely un- likely that Russia will make reply with the required defniteness.
 The Cabinet sat to-day from noon until 9 o'clock. The Queens speech was considered and approved. The Afghan difficulty was discussed. It is understood that the recall of the boundary commission was decided upon, because it was thought the difference between England and Russia could be better dealt with by the foreign office.

The New York Banks Undisturbed

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Manager Camp of the New York clearing house said to-day: l cannot think that the Boston defalcations will seriously affect any of the New York banks, and, as far as I know, no person here will be crippled. If $1,000,0O0 has been stolen it cannot greatly demoralize the money or stock market. It strikes me that Boston dispatches attached too much i'm portance to the matter. Of course it is a serious affair for those interested, but it would require wide stretch of imagination to say that general credit was undermined. A million is small sum when compared to Ina of fha hanks.
