BURGLARS AT WORK.

III. @. Ransom's House on Oranx,
Street Entered Early This Morning.
Mr.. Ransom,s Life Threatened
The Burglar Makes His Escape with
One Hundred Dollars and Mr. Ran.
SONS Gold Watch.
A daring burglary was committed ut the
residence of Herschel @. Ransom, 196
Orange street, at an early hour this morn
ing, and the burglars succeeded in escaping
with Mr.. Ransom's gold watch and about
800 in cash.
About 80 O'Clock Mr.. Ransom arose
for the purpose of getting q drink of
water, and turning on the gas WAS sur
prised to find a strange man in his room.
Instantly the burglar drew q revolver and
pointing 1t at Mr.. Ransom said with an oath:
$50 to bed or Pll blow your brains
out" For reply Mr.. Ransom struck the
man, whereupon the latter retaliated by
hitting Mr.. Ransom on the chin with
the butt end of the revolver. In
the melee the revolver was knocked
from the burglars hand and fell to
the floor. The burglar then took to his
heels and made good his escape by means
of rear window, through which 1t is
thought he had gained an entrance to the
house. At frat it WAS thought that
nothing was missing, but subsequent in
vestigations showed that Mr.. Ransom's
watch and S110 in cash had been stolen
from Mr.. Ransom's vest pocket before the
burglar was discovered.
The police were at once notified and
every effort made to capture the man, but
without avail. He is described as being
about five feet seight inches in height,
stout, dark complexion and black nous
tache. The revolver, which is one of the
bulldog" pattern, a ix-shooter, every
chamber of which was loaded, WAS turned
over to the police -

THE CANADIANS UNWILLING

To Carry Out Their Part of The Inter.
national Agreement Respecting
Privileges In boundary Waters.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The dispatches
printed in certain Canadian papers relative
to the failure to consummate the nesotia-
tons looking to the allowance by the
United States and Canada of mutual wreck
ing privileges in the boundary waters be-
tween the two countries and by implication
placing the blame on the department of
state here are said to be founded upon a
Misunderstanding of the facts. On May "a,
1890, congress passed an act permitting
Canadian wrecking vessels to sue
cor distressed or wrecked Cana
dian vessels in the contigu-
GUS waters of the United States. But two
conditions were imposed. One WAS that
the president should give effect to the law
by proclamation only after the Canadian
government had extended like privileges
to vessels of the United States In con-
tiguous Canadian waters. The other was
that the agreement should apply to the st.
Lawrence canals, as well as to the canal
system connecting the great lakes. Thus
far the Canadian government has failed to
meet this last condition, which was plainly
laid down in the United States, and the
Canadians seem indisposed to include their
canals in the scope of their act. The pres
ident is. therefore, obliged to withhold
his proclamation, and the department
of state cannot be charged with response
bility for the delay.

NEW York, Nov. Brew. R. Heber
Newton, pastor of All Souls church, one
of the wealthiest and most influential in
the city, has notified the vestry that his
condition is such that he will not be able
to resume active work for at least q year.
1t has been said that worry and mental
unrest caused by the charges of heresy,
which are still in the hands of the COM
mission appointed by Bishop Potter, have
been largely conducive to DR.. Newton's
condition. It has also been said that the
commission, who have had the charges I'M
der consideration for several months, have
delayed making their report to the bishop
i because of DR.. Newton's ill-health. In his
letter to the church DR.. Newton says he
has not been fit for work during the past
Eve years. He had hoped the commission
would make prompt report, but 1t hal

Overdose.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2-Lieutenant
Sohwatka, who died here this morning,
had of late years been troubled with a

of taking laudanum to allay the pain.
Last night he complained that his stomach
was chilling him." He went to a drug
store and purchased two-ounce bottle of
laudanum, remarking to the clerk that he
was accustomed to taking fifteen or
twenty drops of laudanum when his
stomach was troubled. When last seen
last night no appeared cheerful. The the
DRY that he committed suicide is fast CIV
ing way to one that he took an overdose
of laudanum by accident.

The ecore stands Princeton 10, Chicago O.
Two goals from touchdowns were all that
the tigers were able to score, and nothing
but decision by the umpire holding that
Chicago had failed to make touchdown

easy. The Princeton line could not hold

ence, but the better trained Princeton men

An Elaborately Planned Scheme to
Aid Prisoners to Escape.
Boston, Nov. 2.-There was a small Are
in the shoe shop at tho Charlestown state
prison just before II O'Clock to might that
had evidently been set by an inoendiary.
It originated in large box of shoe shanks,
the contents of which had been thoroughly
saturated with oil and in the center of
which, it is eaid, was set clockwork ar
mite the fire. There was no confusion
among the prisoners who were all in their
cells, and the pecuniary loss will be very
light. 1t is thought that the incendiaries'
intention was to have the fire break out
about the time the convicts were being re-
turned from the shops to their cells 80 that
in the attendant confusion some of them
might possibly escape.
