One Man Fatally Wounded And Another
Badly Hurt-The Fellow Escaped
Boston, Mass, December 5.-The Back
Bay district was the scene of proba-
bly, fatal shooting affair tonight. A
snatch thief, who was being pursued,
emptied revolver upon two men who
attempted to capture. him, wounding
both of them, one probably fatally, and
then making his escape. About Z
O'Clock, as Mrs. L. E. Bruins of Marlboro
street. was passing through Berkeley
street, two men stepped from an alley
way and one snatched her hand bag,
and the two started off in opposite direc-
tions. Mrs. Bruins raised an alarm, and
the man with the bag ran through the
alley toward Arlington street. James
Slamin. employed by Charles P. Curtis,
and John Lorden attempted to stop one
of the thieves, but seeing revolver in
his hand they allowed him to pass, and
then chased him. On Newbury street
he threw away the bag, which the pur-
suers found. He ran a short distance,
and then turned and came towards his
pursuers, saying, "That's all got;
did not get anything else.n Lorden re-
piled; "Well, if you have anything else
you had better give it up" He struck
at the thief, who went down on his
back, and Immediately began firing. The
second shot entered Lorden's abdomen.
causing wound that will probably
prove fatal. The thief then escaped, it
is said, on an electric car. Lordep is
about 35, and Slamin 80. Slamin got a
painful wound near the right shoulder

duty, levied by the act of 1894, on all sugars
coming from bounty paying countries, is
not responsive to any measure and may be
considered as constituting discrimination
by those countries against the production
or manufacture of the United States, and is
itself discrimination against the produce or
manufacture of such countries. 1t is an
attempt to offset domestic favor or encour-
agement to certain industry by the very
means forbidden by the treaty. Secretary
