 Patrick shugrue Lost in Sight of His
 Brother Who Was on the Bank But
 Could Not Swim.
 Patrick Shugrue, aged % years, of 4S Fuller street, was drowned ln the east brass mill pond near the raceway, about the middle of the afternoon yesterday. Patrick and Daniel Shugrue and DennIs Phelan were walking in the vicinity of the pond when they proposed having a swim. Daniel Shugrue could not swim, SO he sat down on the bank while the others were disporting in the water. Both men were good swimmers and went about in the pond at will. The pond is full of springs and there are many icy currents. It is supposed that Shugrue struck one of these currents and was seized with cramps, flor he went down without a struggle or sound. His brother thought that he had dived and it was some moments before the truth was realized. Phelan was too far away to render any assistance and was much fatigued from the long swim.
 The excited brothers cries for helT brought to the shore Maurice Bunce Wilson Tracy, William Carmody anC Joseph Monahan. The boys swam tC the spot indicated by the brother anC began diving for the body, but without success. A boat was procured and fol three hours the search was kept up il the deep water. About 5:45 -Bunct caught the body and brought it to tht surface, when with the help of thu others it was taken to the waters edge.
 Medical Examiner Axtelle was noti fled and at 6:30 viewed the remains anC examined witnesses. Permission wa given to have the remains prepared fo burial, and they were taken in charg \ by Undertaken James Fl, Mulville ant removed to his late home. Tn drowned man has been in this cour tr, only little while. He was unmarried and was employed by the City Lumbe and Coal company.
 The deceased leaves two brothers James and Daniel Shugrue of this city two sisters, the Misses Mary and Abb Shugrue of New Haven, and a mothe and three brothers in Ireland. Tn funeral will take place at S:30 to-mor morrow morning from 49 Fuller street with services in the Immaculate Con ception church and interment in Cal vary cemetery.

summer AdHertising.

As the planted tree grows while the planter sleeps, SO does the live advertise ment continue its silent work while the advertiser is away on his summer vaca- tion. Like interest, the advertisement never sleeps. Suppose that the business of actual purchasing does fall off, that is no reason why all things should moi be made ready for its active resump' ton. And that resumption is all the more sure to begin with a fresh impetus if the minds of the customer class ara already prepared through the prolific summer advertisement.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Several thousand people assembled at Savin Rock Saturday afternoon to see the broadsword fight on horses between Captain Bryan E. Lynn, the champion broadSwordsman, and Miss Helen EuGlehart, who aspires to that title. The contest resulted in draw after several rounds that were far too tame to please the crowd. The captain did not appear to mind the blows of his fair opponent in the least, and he was very careful not to put any strength to the blows he landed. In vain the crowd urged the doughty captain to "knock'er off de hoss," He was too gallant, and the score was announced to be a draw 36 to 36, when time was called. The fight was advertised to be for $500 a side, but it is doubtful if the money was posted.
 Last Wednesday morning Manager Marks and Pitcher Mace of the Harris burg club had fight, in the course of which Marks was knocked down by Mace, stamped upon and his left leg broken below the knee.

 The Cleveland mistake of exchanging a brilliant young general player like Davis for a one-position man like Ewing is emphasized by the accident to Te- beau. With Davis as substitute the loss of Tebeau's services would hardly be felt.

It IS In Effect Now and Affects Many
 Unsettled Estates.
 The act passed by the general assem- ply modifying Attorney O'Neilrs col lateral inheritance tax law was finally acted upon in the closing hours of the session when both houses concurred in passing an amended bill reported. from the committee on engrossed bills.
 That the legislature has decided to go so far in changing the law as to relieve brothers and sisters from it's operation has been generally known, but not that the legislature decided in keeping with the spirit of the amendment, to make it operative at once, and also to apply to all estates now in process of settlement. This will effect a considerable number of estates where administrators or exc cutors have delayed paying taxes to the state treasurer pending final decision by the general assembly on the, several different propositions for changes of the law
