NOT HIS WIFE.
A Kentucky Man Decoyed From His
Home and Murdered.

GREENvILLE, Tex. June 22.-J. J. Lam
caster, new arrival here, died last Sun
day under peculiar circumstances, nobody
being present but his wife. The pbysi-
clans, upon examining him after his
death. testified at the inquest that he died
from poisoning. His wife made conflict
ing statements at the inquest ana was
suspected of having killed her husband.
The Grand Jury began investigating the
case and discovered that the woman had
been in clandestine correspondence with a
man named Boiling 10 Kentucky.
A telegram was received to-day stating
that Mrs. j. j. Lancaster is now in Pa
ducah. KY, but that the woman passing
as Mrs. Lancaster here is a woman who
induced Lancaster to leave Kentucky
The telegram ordered the arrest and de-
tention of all parties in the case and Mrs.
Lancaster was locked up In the coun ty
Jail. Lancaster was man of considerable
means, and there is a strong chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against his alleged
vile.

KLINE'S CROOKED WORK.
Armor Plates Doctored According to
His Orders

His Orders.
WASHINGTON, June % - Charles S.
Craig of Edgewood Park, Pa, was to-day
before the Congressional committee inves.
tigating armor-plate frauds. He was as
ISOLATED with c. Z. Sill in giving the main
information of irregularities at the Car
negle works. Craie's evidence was much
like that recently given by Sill and cor
roboratiye of it. He testified that he
made reports of the work on armor plates
from the workmen's states giving the
actual work done. The reports were SUBJ
mitted to Superintendent Kline, who
changed them to bring the work within
the Government contract. The altered
reports were then furnished to the Gov
eminent officers. Craig gave from his
notebook list of armor plates which had
been doctored after they had been turned
over to the Government as test plates.
Many of them were reiterated after the
Government had rejected them. Craig
testified that he had been instructed by
superintendent Kline TO burn the original
records showing the real work done.
Craig said that while assistant heater he
observed much surreptitious work on the
plates. He gave the technical details OF
these Irregularities. This was done with
out the knowledge of the Government
officers, and was to deceivs them. The
capacity of the Carnegie works was not
sufficient to do the work properly. He
had heard Kline complain to Assistant
Manager Hunsicker that more furnaces
were necessary. Craig identified num-
Der of alterations in reports made by Su.

1T EVENS THE SCORE.
Mike Harris Knocked Out by
WalcOtt.
Six Short Hot Rounds SuffiCed for
the Colored Man to Do the
Work.

Boston. June 22.-Two thousand spec
tators at the Casino tonight saw Mike
Harris of New York, the much Landed
couqueror of Joe Wocott. counted out
after an unmerciful drubbing from that
dusky opponent,
The first round was all in favor of the
black man. There was only question Of
how long Harris could make his thickness
stand him in good stead to avoid punish
ment He slipped TO the floor three times,
but always managed to get up in the re-
quIred ten seconds. Neither man did
much except run, but what was done was
Oh the darkey's side.
In the second round Walcstt started in
to finish his man. He chased him around
the ring, swinging right and left in rapid
succession. BE was over anxious. how
ever. and in one of the rushes received a
stiff left handler on the jaw. which brought
him up with a jerk. The eolored man.
however. rushed him to the ropes. getting
in two hard ones on the jaw and body.
The gong saved Harris.
The third round was but repetition of
its predecessors. Walcott doing all the
leading and Furnishing.
Harris started off we'll in the fourth.
landing on the darkey's mouth. He tried
it once more. but this time Joe caught him
a hot one in the stomach. and when he
doubled up he received another left full in
the face.
1t looked in the fifth as though Harris
wanted to stop, for twice did be drop to
his knees without being hit. He sue
ceeded, after getting three or four punches
on the jaw and face, in keeping out of the
Degro's way until the call of the time
keeper sent them to their corners.
The sixth and last round was rapid.
O'Rourke told his man to bring the thing
to close, and this be did with a rush.
He followed Harris around the ring, land
lug right and left so fast that the spscta-
tors could not count them. After Walcott
hit him a terrific one on the jaw Harris fell
to the floor and remained there until
counted out.
