The Man Who Robbed and Shot
 Katie RupP.
 UTICA, N. Y., May 16.-Bernhardt AL tenberger, who shot Katie Rupp at Snake Hill on Sunday. is in custody in this city. His capture is due to the newspaper de- scriptions of him.
 When the North Shore limited on the New York Central left Albany last even ing, two citizsns of Rome went aboard in the newspapers they had bought they read an account of the murderous as- sault on Katie Rupp, and as the young woman was from their city, they became interested.
 The men are Jay Capron, 6 prominent republican politician, and former deputy sheriff, and Chauncey Hurlburt. They had hardly finished reading the article when they noticed in a seat opposite to them young man, stylishly dressed, who seemed to fully answer the description of Altenberger.
 They studied his actions and decided to cause his arrest when the train reached Utica.
 When the train arrived here at 1O:35 Hurlburt followed the suspect while Ca- pron called for @ policeman. The young man went into the cafe at the depot and purchased glass of beer. Just after he drank it Policemen Cheney and Jones ar rested him.
 A reporter of a local paper showed AL tenberger his own photograph and then he admitted his identity. He was taken to the police station and searched. He had a grip and in it were found several articles used by tailors, @ buttonhole punch and a afr 1E ,4ta ua haI l. had purchased in New York, including a straw hat, which, however, he did not wear, still using the one he had on when the as- sault was committed.

Believed to Have Lost His Life ir Roaton Harbor-His Name is Will liam HockIey and He is Thought to Have Been in the Catboat With Oih. CT Students.
 CAMBRIDGE, May 18-It is now almost certain that William Stevenson Hockey, Harvard '94, was with the four Harvard men in the catboat which WAS wrecked in Dorchester bay Sunday evening and that he was drowned.

His home is in Philadelphia and he was an intimate friend and almost con- stant companion of young Bach. whose body was recovered. Some Harvard men who were at City Point Sunday say they saw Hockey on the float there about 3:30 o'clock. That is the last seen of him by his Harvard friends.
 Bostkeeper Hutchins states that he rent en the boat to four young men, but he is not certain how many went of in 1t.
 Young Hockley's mother has been CO., cupying a suite at 10 Mount Vernon street, Boston, for @ month past. An Associated learned that Mrs. Hockey returned to Philadelphia last week. The other occu- pants of the house had not seen young Hockey and feared that he was e member of the fated boating party.
 Hockley was in the habit of visiting at 12 Quincy street, Cambridge, with an aunt quite frequently, but he has not been there since Saturday. He is twenty.two years old, crack cricket player and e popular member of the senior class.
 Several parties are to-day searching the hsrbor for the bodies.

SWEPT AWAY BY FIRE.

All of the Large Coal and Lumber
 Sheds of Payvtucket Were Destroyed
 A schooner Makes Q Bridge of
 Fire.
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., May 16.-A column of black smoke rising from wide area and mounting high into the sky before 1t spread, attracted attention from all seo- tions within @ radius of ten miles of Paw tucket this afternoon. In that column of smoke there went up over half million dollar's worth of property and all of the large coal and lumber yards in Pawtucket were practically swept away.
 The property on either side of the river from. the Division street bridge on the north to the works of the Pawtucket Gas company on the west and the Pswtucket Boat club on the east, was destroyed within a few hours. There was time when 1t seemed likely that the flames would spread from the water front on either side to residence districts, in which much greater distress would have been oocssioned.
 The fire originated in the blacksmith shop on the premises of the Newell Coal
 
 street bridge, at 2:30. The shop wss situ- ated under a section of one of the large coal sheds. Within 8 few minutes after the first spark started the work of destruction the immense coal shed presented msgni6 cent spectacle to the crowd that quickly gathered on the bridge. A strong north west wind swept down the valley and car rfed sparks and burning embsrs every where. The schooner L F. Hopkins, laden with paving stones for the town of Lin coin, was moored at the dock on the water front of the Lowell yard. The schooner was soon enveloped in flames and its hsw- ssrs were burned away. The currents swung the bow across the stream, making a bridge of fire to the east. With the wind sweeping in the direction the flames were carried to the premises of the Pawtucket City coal yard and very quickly were un- der great headway on the east side of the river.
 A general alarm called tha entire force and apparatus of the Pawtucket depart ment and double call from Box 112 called the Veteran sssociation's members. From Providence steamer No. and Hcse Companies 4, 5 and IF were dispatched to the scene. Central Falls ssnt two hose and the Pacific steamer.
 Ia less than half an hour the fire worked its way southward into the premises of Olney and Payne Brothers, dealers in coal and builders materials, on the west side of the river. On the other side of the river all that owners could do was in saving horses and har- nesses. The fire was in undisputed pos session of the Pswtucket coal yard and the lumber yard of John T. Cottrell. The four big coal and lumber yards burned fiercely. The lsborers employed at the Pawtucket works were set at work early directing lines of hose upon the tanks and buildings on these premises, which seemed In progress.
 When the fire was under control there remained of the buildings and stock in the Newell yard and the premises of the Olney and Payne Brothers nothing but glow Ing embers. On these premises of these 6rms the destruction was complete.

FIGHTING THE RAILROADS.

A Manufacturing Concern in Trouble
 With the New York ,New Haven and
 Hartford and the Boston and Maine
 Roads.
 WORCESTER, May 16.-Ths Washburn & Moen Manufacturing company has got into trouble with the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Maine railroads, and the latter companies have refused to deliver freight to the big wire mills of the former in this city. The trouble arose over the refusal of the Wash burn & Moen company to pay . bill of $40 demurraRe on some freight cars which the railroads declared were delayed too long in the service of the wire mills.
 The refusal of the railroads to deliver coal and freight has interfered with the running of the mills, and the Washburn & Moen company has petitioned the superior court for-ian injunction restraining the railroad from interfering with their freight privileges. The hearing was held before Judge Feesenden, who refused to grant the Injunction. The petitioners claim that Il the freight is not delivered their big milll will have to shut down.

 He believed that either the passage or the defeat of the pending measurs would be quickly followed by revival of business to 8 greater or less degree. He would rather have the bill passed now than have no action on it at all. He could, however, see DO hope of return to active prosperity until the gold standard was abandoned and bi-metsilism returned to.
