BosT0N's PURITAN ALDERMEN
Decide to Stop the Presentation of tn.
Clemenceau Case.

Decide to Stop the Presentation of the
CIemenceau Case.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPAToH.:
BOSTON, October 15.-The Boston City
Fathers last night visited the Park Theater
in body to witness the famous "Cleren-
ceau Case" in which Miss Sybil Johnstones
volumptuous figure is seen with such sensa-
tional distinctness. They were evidently
shocked by what they saw, for the first
thing they did to-day was to hold
an executive session and revoke
the licence of the Park Theater.
Their action created big sensation about
town, for there. were thousands who held
tickets for the show. The Board of Alder
men did not object so much to SYPHILIS shape
as to the passionate love scene in the third
act. That was too much of a climax, and
the whole play was condemned. 1t was too
'Frenchy" for the Puritan fathers of the
staid old Puritan city.
NJ. Fleron, the adapter of the play,
promised to eliminate every Objectionable
word and line if the Aldermen would only
consent to its continued presentation. He
even promised to drape the orm of the fair
liza in the most orthodox fashion, if they
would withhold their official condemnation
But the city fathers were obdurate, and the
"CIemenceau Case" will no longer enter
tain the Boston public. Only the managers
o the theater and Of the play feel badly
over the action of the city fathers. The
public is we'll pleased.

managers thai he will be at that establishment
this morning. Mr.. Thurman will no doubt give

be hoped as a result all the schoolboy nonsense
that has made baseball ridiculous here will be
dispensed with.
MIR. Thurman will find the thoughtful people
interested locally in the business disposed and
even eager to have a settlement, and more
now than ever, because of the example give

Brunell is also expected here to-day. and
Manager Hanion will also be on deck; in Short
all the parties and persons directly interested
are expected in the city. Why not like
practical business men settle the affair right
away, once and for all? The public will be
glad of it, and that gadness will be displayed
when next season opens. The squabble must
cease sooner or later. Either the public will
end it, or the parties interested must do it
very soon. Let il be settled at once. Certainly
the destinies of the nation are not at stake; no,
not even the to-be or not-to-be of the city of

The officials of the local P. l.. club had the
matter tully talked over yesterday, and some
of them are extremely eager for fair COM

M,AULIEEE ARRESTED
FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE, BUT
SPEEDILY RELEASED.

An Autopsy Shows That the Death Was
Caused by Heart Disease-Supposed to
Have Been Married in San Francisco
Last Spring.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.;
NEW YORK, October 15.-Lsst spring.
when the "Hole in the Ground" company
was playing in San Francisco, there was q
rumor that the leading soubrette of the COM
pany, Katie Hart, had been quietly married
to Jack McAulife, champion lightweight
prize fighter of America, and then in San
Francisco to fight Carroll, but it was
generally considered that they were only en-
gagged. In September Katie became the SOU
brette OF Donnelly & Gerard's Natural Gas
Company, at salary of $125 week, OF
which she sent her mother $75 week with
unfailing regularity. Last week the Nat
ural Gas Company played at the Lee
Avenue Academy, Brooklyn, and Mrs.
Gussie Hart, Katie's mother, came to New
York the week before and engaged rooms.
When Katie came she went to live with her
mother.
On Saturday night Jack McAuliffe called
and spent the evening. On Tuesday Jack
and Katie started out for ride despite the
rain, which was descending in torrents.
They went to the West Side Hotel, third
class resort at Sixth avenue and Fifteenth
street. Jack registered and took the key TO
room s from Ferguson. As to what hap
pened afterward there is no satisfactory in
formation. The girl was dead in the room.
McAuliffe disappeared Tor an hour or two
hunting for doctors, and later on was ar
rested. There were some contusions on the
face, indicating the girl had been beaten.
Deputy Coroner Donlin made an autopsy
to-day. He found that the supposed con-
tusions on the face were caused by powerful
restoratives which must have been applied
by the doctor whom McAulIffe brought in at
the first. He found that her heart was
three times Its natural size-a plain indica-
tion that she was in the advanced stages
of heart disease and that it must have
been the cause of her death. McAuliffe was
released Immediately after the autopsy and
returned home. The Corouer's verdict was
death from valvular disease of the heart.
McAuliffe's saloon was closed to-day and
a card on the glass bore these words, in Nc
Abilities handwriting: "Closed on account
of death in the family"

THERE is a rumor afloat among the cherry dia-

As seconds made by j. Owen, of the Detroit A.
e., is false one. The rumor has it mat owen did
not cover more than 9s yards, he stole two yards
at the start The accuracy of the time Is also
questioned. One of the timers admits that he
failed TO catch the time, but the time as taken by
the other two official timers, was . As seconds.
Sam ID. See, who has been the official timer in
several of the contests also made OWENS time

CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.

Powder Mills Disaster.

The Coroner's Inquiry Into the Dupont
Powder Mills Disaster.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
WILMINGTON, October 15.-The evil
dence before the Coroner's jury to-day in
the case of the men killed by the explosion
in the Dupont powder yards last week, de-
velops the fact that 100 tons of powder were
exploded, and that seven OF their buildings,
exclusive of dwelling houses, were destroyed.
1t was suggested by one o. the witnesses that
William r. Green, the solderer, who was
supposed to have caused the explosion, had
been using harder solder than the COM
pany permitted. The first explosion, it is
now stated, was in the magazine. The other
six buildings were exploded by hot stones
thrown into them.
The distance from the building first blown
up to the one urthest away was almost a
quarter OF mile. The loss OF powder will
probably be $50, 900. To this must be added
the damage to and destruction of % dwell
ing houses, the total destruction OF the ex-
ploded building and the damage to machin-
cry, probably $4,000 more. The loss by
delay and Tor provisions for the families of
victims cannot be estimated. The Duponts
will make no public estimate of their losses.

NEW YORK, October 15.-The aggregate
capital of 528 italian immigrants wht
landed at the Barge Office to-day from the
steamship Alesia was just $72 40, or not Il
cents apiece. Among the impoverished
but hardy-Iooking lot were two alleged
brigands, Amilia Russi and Giuseppe dc
Giuseppe. Letters from Sicily to the Barge
Office said that Amilia and Giuseppe had
obtained passports by representing them
selves to be highly moral citizens OF Italy.
when they had been convicted of robbery
and other crimes.
Twenty of the Alesia's passengers, sup
posed to be contract Iaborers, got out into
Battery Park before the inspectors had a
chance at them. Chief Inspector Milhol-
land sent out three OF his assistants, all
little but plucky fellows, to persuade the
Italians to come back. Inspector Palmeri
rushed into the park, gallantly
GRABBED THE BIGGEST MAN
and undertook to drag him. as little tug
tows giant ship, into the Barge Office. All
the other Italians Immediately surrounded
tie ambitious little Roman and threatened
in 20 Italian dialects, with picturesque
to create a vacancy in Inspector Milhol-
lands staff. Inspectors Friend and Wetz-
Ter, undismayed by the noise and the ges-
ticulations, formed a line OF battle and
boldly charged the crowd.
There was whirl of legs and arms and
baggage, and the three little men found
themselves living on their backs and breath
ing through several strata of immigrants.

the field from the Barge Office window, or

to mark its retreat. Mr.. Palmeri was dis
covered sitting upon the chest of the big
man talking with great fuency. Com
mander Eichler had rendered the retreat of
another big man SO painfully slow by de1-
trous movement of the right loot toward the
big mans coat tails that he
was easily overtaken and captured.
Inspectors Friend and Wetzler also
got a prisoner The three were held as hos
tages Some Of their friends came around
later and said that the rest of the 20 alleged
violators of the contract labor law would
come back tomorrow and be examined so
they could get their three friends released.
They say they are not contract laborers.
Sixteen OF the Alesia's immigrants, who
acknowledged that they were going to St.
Cloud, Fla, to work for $25 month, were
held.

PRINCETON, October I5-Tne University of
Pennsylvania to-day sent football team to

first it seemed as if the visitors would, for the
Princeton men were much lighter. The game
was the hardest-fought and the roughest ever
played between the two colleges. Four men
had to be carried off the field, having received
severe injuries. Princeton suffered most in
this respect.

DETROIT, October 15.-President Led
yard, OF the Michigan Central, said that the
recent soundings and surveys of the river
opposite the depot were for the purpose of
procuring estimates for high bridge across
the Detroit river. A tunnel, besides being
costly. would be unpopular, and few people
would travel by such route.
The soundings for the bridge were taken
by Morrison, the st. Louis br ridge builder,
who will report on the cost and other partic-
ulars before the end OF November next,

LOCAL PEDESTRIANS.
Efforts Being Made to Arrange Race Be-

tween Rr1ddy and McClelianu'
Local pedestrians are to the front again, and
there is probability of five-mile race be-
tween Peter Priddy and E. c. McClelland; at
least, the latter is willing to run a race Satur-
day four weeks. A well-known local sporting.
man is trying to arrange a race between them
for $3.50 side and the entire gate receipts
Doubtless a race between the two men named
would be great event, but 1t is not unlikely
that Priddy will desire more than four weeks
TO get ready. He has not been exercising for
some time. and four weeks in the latter part OF
the year may be too short notice to get ready.
However. the sporting man who IS trying to
arrange the race thinks that Priddy can be all
right in four weeks.
Ed Nikirk called at this office last evening in
answer to the challenge of Mack. AS the lat
ter wants to run anybody in the State, or take
25 yards start in n half mile from Priddy or Nc
Clelland. Nikirk offers to run Mack half
mile race, providing Mack is native of Penn
sylxania. Nikirk also offers to put up a forfeit
to run McClelland balf-mle race within three
or four weeks or next May. Nikirk will be at
this office at O'Clock Saturday evening to
make the above matches.

SAN FRANCISCO. October I5-The revenue
cutter Richard Rush arrived to-day four days
from Port Townsend. Captain Coulson said:
ave have not seen a hundred seals this season
between Ounalaska and the island going to and
fro, and the rookeries are deserted. The fact
that the Northwestern Commercial Company
obtained only 2l.000 out of the large number OF

that seals are declining in numbers.

in the sea itself, and if they were at work they
did it entirely to the westward. We saw no
appearance on board the crafts that they were
engaged in illegal work, but we warned them
off. ~

OTTAWA, October 15.-The Minister of
Customs was waited upon to-day by repre-
sentatives of the National Dispatch Com
pany, of st. Albans, VT, and the Canada
Atlantic Railway in reference to a matter o
interest to railway companies. The repre-
sentatives desire to obtain permission to
bring carwheels into Canada free of duty to
replace wheels which may be broken on

this concession is not allowed to Canadian
railways in the United States nor to the
manu- acturers of carwheels in Canada, and,
under the circumstances, consideration
the matter by the Government will be neces
sarv.
The Minister suggested that the applica-

said, he would submit it to his colleague
He also said that ii reciprocal arrangements
could be made he thought the proposal would
be of benefit to the railways of both coun-
tries.
