District Attorney Nicoll Of New York Asked
to Interfere I'm the Matter.
New YORK, May 23.-It il expected here that
in few days the headquarters of the Granite
National Union will be temporarily transferred
to this city from Concord, n. H. This will en-
able those having the strike in charge to direc,
all movements from tins point.
The trouble between the New England Gran
lite Manufacturers Association and the Granite
Union is still unsettled. There does not APP
pear to be any likelihood Of n settlement. The
joint committee of granite cutters held pro-
tracted meeting. in Clarendon Hall today.
Report had it that the session was
by no means a harmonious one. but this was
denied. and il was announced that unanimity
charac terized the proceedings and that the
committee was determined to use all legitimate
means to carry the fight to a success.
committee was appointed to wait upon Dis
trict Attorney Nicoll this afternoon TO lay their
grievances before that official and ask his inter-
ference in the matter of a conspiracy, which
they charge the manufacturers are engaged in
to break up the union. The executive
committee, it is said, is engaged
in compiling a list Of buildings upon which
granite is being used. This list will be placed
in the hands of walking delegates for immedi-
ate action and should strikes be ordered on
these buildings thousands of men of other
trades will be thrown out of employment.

A Witness Whose Character 10 Exposed
without Mercy.
NEW YORK. May 23.-The contest Of the will
Of Marie Hotchkiss has been in progress for
several days before Surrogate Ransom. The
principal beneficiary under the will Is Rafeal
Wood, the decedent's nephew to whom she be-
queathed over 100000. The contestants in
clude Woods mother. Mrs. Mantle. There have
been read large number of letters written by
Wood to his aunt IN the most extravaganty
affectionate terms. There were also read letters
that for some years before his auut's death he
heir.
Today the surrogate interrupted reading of
these letters. saving he did not see what pur-
pose could be served by reading more of them.
1T has been quite evident 10 me for some
time" the surrogate said. THAT there is
ample proof of shameful determination
on the part of the witness Wood to deceive
his aunt into belief of his esteem and respect
for her, with the ultimate purpose of having
her leave some of her property to him but is that
undue influence? He has confessed that he was a
willful liar. and in these lies he was supported
by his mother and brother. He is admitted a
shameless liar and deceiver of his aunt. but
does that constitute undue influence under the
law?'
Mr.. Rollins of counsel for the contestant
replied that the letters would go to establish a
certain phase of the contestants case. the full
effect of which could only be seen when all the
evidence was in.
The surrogate then permitted the reading OF
the letters to continue.

THE LATEST PARIS TRAGEDY.
Almost Incredible Story OF Jealousy and
Revenge.

PARIS, May 23.-The Figaro today relates a
story of a murder which, in view OF the Deacon
case, Is exciting great public interest. The
names are not given, but If the details given in
the Figaro are true they cannot long be con-
cealed.
The story is to the effect that the wife of a
government Official holding an important posi-
non had long suspected her husband Of un-
faithful conduct with the wife of deputy who
holds prominent place in the legislative cham
Der and whose name has been frequently men
TONED In connection with measures of national
importance. The wife had followed her husband
about for some time past in the hope Of detect
ing evidence Of guilt. He succeeded, however,
In evading her, and she was not able until yes
terday evening to get the proof desired. The
wife Is known to be woman Of high temper,
and the tragedy that resulted is not a surprise
to those who have met her. She got an intims-
ton In some way that her husband -Ahd The
woman who had captivated his affections might
be found at No. 80 Rue Durecher. The wife
went there alone last night, armed with u re-
volver- She succeeded in passing the porter Of
the building without arousing suspicion, and
proceeded at once to the room which us proved,
was occupied by the faithless husband and his
mistress.
How she obtained admission does not appear,
but she managed to get in without the sus-
plcions OF the two inmates having been aroused.
neither he nor the womon had an oppor-
tunity to escape. The wife poured out flood
of abuse on the guilty woman, charging her
both with betrsying her own husband
and robbing her Of the man she loved. The
wretched woman covered in q corner of the bed
which she occupied and was too stricken with
shame to utter q word OF reply. The fury of
the deceived wife increased and drawing re-
volver she fired shot after shot direct into the
body in the bed.
The husband when she drew the revolver
thought it WAS intended for him and dashed out
OF the room, leaving his companion i'll sin ut the
mercy Of the Infatuated wife. The latter did
not cease firing until five bullets were lodged in
the victim body, when, seeing that her prey was
not vet dead, shc drew dagger and stabbed her
repeatedly. The blood from the wounds spurted
over the murderess until she presented as CORY
an appearance as the expiring victim. When
people who heard the struggle came into the
room the dying woman could not speak. but
died in a few minutes. The police were called
i'll and the murderess taken to prison. II is
snid that she had reserved one bullet in the re-
volver for herself.
The husband will undoubtedly be Dismissed
from the government service and the trial of
the murderess promises to disclose a great
deal about the rottenness Of French society.

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT.
Gen. Miles Opinion of the Relay Ride From
Chicago.

Gen. Miles Opinion of the Relay Ride From
Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 23.-"H is an important
achievement" said Gen. Miles last evening. He
was speaking of the relay riders and their stub
born fight through the mud. The fact that the
message did not arrive in New York within
schedule time wasSno surprise to him. The
trip was a remarkable success" said he. This
experiment at relay riding has established the
fact that the bicycle would be of practical serv-
ice in the army and it has also been Of service
in calling attention to the wretched condition
Of the public highways In COMMUNITIES that
profess to be tolerably well civilized. The mat
ter of good roads should receive more attention
than it has been given"
"Does the success of the experiment prove
anything as to the use of the bicycle in the
armyY'
1T confirms me in the belief that the bicycle
will be extensively used, and that soon. The
wheelman can travel faster than the hcr seman, lac
makes no noise, does not form as large a target
for the enemy and even if he cannot go some
places where the horseman can in more in
stances he can get where no horse could follow.
The bicycle will certainly be used in the army.
would not advise the use of the lightweight
speeding machines. as l notice that some Of
them broke down under the hard travel. A
stout wheel Of medium weight would BE- re-
CURED"
