COOL AND DELIBERATE MURDER
A Beautiful Blonde shot to Death by
Striking Brunette.


New YORK, October 2.-In the front
room OF the upper fat OF No. 2l5 East
Eighty sixth street tonight, lay the
pody of beautiful blonde, who had
been shot in the hallway on the street
floor shortly after o'clock.
The dead woman had a pretty face
and a fine figure. She was down East
girl. vet her face had q German cast,
more of pret,P Ptempting vitality than OF
intellectual force.
She was the wife OF John P1ersoll, aA
officer on the police force, to whom she
had been married about sixteen years
and the story OF her tragic death is
briefly told.
About four o'clock fine looking,
dark complexioned woman, walked
nervously mp and down in front OF Mrs.
Pearsol's residence.
At Is minutes after 4, the people who
lived in the second floor heard Mrs.
Piersoll go down stairs.
They heard her open the trent door,
and then heard four pistol shots In
rapid succession.
The children in the street stopped
their play as they heard the shooting
and saw the woman firing into the door.
They were too much frightened TO
run up quickly, and when the woman
walked away did not follow her, but
hurried into the hall. where Mrs. Pier
soil lay bleeding on the floor.
Four shots were fired. One struck
the glass in the door and broke 1t, one
entered the door, one the wall OF the
hallway and the fourth the neck OF the
woman, severing the jugular vein and
going downward. Mrs. Plersoll lived
only Is minutes.
Meanwhile her assaiants walked
around the corner and up to the
Eighty-eighth street police station. 1t
was pay day and there were number
of sergeants and men in the room.
She calmly walked up TO the desk and
addressed Sergeant Ream, who was on
duty, and said: ~ have shot Mrs.
Piersoll. on s6th street" and then plac-
ing a revolver on the desk added, land
this is what l did IL with"
A scene Of intenee excitement then
ensued in the station. John Plersoll,
the husband Of the murdered woman,
was on the reserve force, and at the
time was sleeping upstairs.
He was called, and in company with
two or three OF his fellow officers hur-
ried around to his residence.
The murderess was given seat, and
then she stated that she was Mrs. Cath
arine Fitzgerald, 40 years OF age, and
| resided at 25lO Eighth avenue.
She was cool, answering every ques-
tion calmly, but beyond the above in
formation would say nothing. When
word came to the station from Piersoll
that his wife was dead, they made q
prisoner of Mrs. FITZGERALD.

At THE WORLDS FAIR.

WoRLD's FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
October Paid admissions yesterday
247,9
This was a dreary day at the Fair.
Clouds hung over tha White City, oo-
senring the domes of the buildings. A
fine driZzle fell during the day and VS.
itors found it very disagreeable. The
attendance Yesterday was larger than
that of any Sunday for many month
1t was good start and encourages the
belief that October is TO be the banner
month OF the Fair. Up to date nearly
fifteen million OF people have attended
the Exposition. 1t is expected that
this figure will be increased to twenty
million by the time the gates are closeu.
OF this number Chicago Day, OCTOBER
9, is expected to add something Ike a
half million. This will, in all likeli-
hood, be the largest day of the Exposl-
tion.

TIE GROUND WORK LAID.
The Committee on Ways and Means Has
the New Tariff Bill Outlined.


WASHINGTON, D. c., October 2.-The
Democratic members OF the Ways and
Means Committee are making progress
with the tariff bill. The ground work
is understood TO be free raw materials,
with compensatory reductions In other
directions. Chairman Wilson Is said to
be puzzled over the demand by many
d loCrats in his State Tor
the retention Of the coal and
iron duties, but he looks to
other schedules where reductions Will
more than make up any loss, real or an
ticipated. As an instance OF compen-
satory reductions several staples IN
Michigan are cited. Here are largely
produced iron, copper, salt and lum per.
There is also talk that in making reduc-
tions that sufficient duty will levied to
WELD a revenue to the increased impor-
tations affording more money than the
present tariff. But the increase OF the
free list will offset this increase In the
duties by reducing the duty on articles
to the revenue point. The customs
revenues with the present internal reVe-
nue. taxes, will not, therefore suffice to
meet the increased expenditures even
II the sinking fund is not provided Tor.
There is a growing impression that the
deficit will be met by an increase In In
ternal revenue taxes on whlskey and to-
bacCO.

He went little wide on an intended

Roberts scored eight.
Ives followed with 16. Roberts
made a poor attempt at a winning haz'

balls in the upper left hand corner and
made masse shot, bringing the balls
in nice position for carom, which be
missed and only scored 4.
Roberts followed with 2 and Ives
made 16. Up to this time neither
player seemed to be in good form, but
Roberts got the balls on the lower
cushion, and by deftly avoiding the
"spot stroke" which in barred in the
game, managed to get 81, when he
missed a difficult carom.
Ives made 6. Roberts then compiled
16, and made 'safe miss" of which
