Death Of n Drunknrd.

MONTAGUE. Mich, Sept. 23.-George
Dole went home intoxicated yesterday
morning. intending to kill his wife. She
was not at home, so George thought his
stepdaughter, Kate KIopf, would do as
well. He struck her twice with an AK. but
did not seriously injure her. She made
her escape and Marshal Ginger went TO
the house, where he found Dole in the
cellar. armed with a sharp knife. The
marshal's revolver was knocked out of his
hand by the infuriated man, and a fierce
struggle ensued, during which Ginger was
stabbed in four or five places. He was
game, however. and finally downed his
man and got him To o. Last evening
when the turnkey went ia with the mans
supper, he was found hanging from the
window bars, having committed suicide.

scarcely a doubt that an alliance Of

BELOW THESTANDARD
The Cruiser Baltimore May Prove Disappointment
She is Deficient in Horse POwer-The
PsEsl Finally Accepted

PHILADELPHIA, October 2-It is ru'
mortd that the calculations by the naval
engineers of the horse power developed in
the recent official trial of the Baltimore
will show larger falling off from that eI.
pected. 1t is even hinted that the con.
tract requirements of 9,OOO.hoTse power
have not been fulfilled By twenty or thirty
horse power. This very small amount,
it is true, but it will be great dissppoint-
ment, not only TO the contractors bat 10
the public, il the report proves TO be well
founded.
1t is difficult TO see why such q great
mistake should have been made in esti-
mating the power. Immediately after the
