HER WOUNDS ARE FATAL
Cruelty Beaten Because She
Drove Dogs Away From
Her Chickens.
REPEATEDLY KNOCKED DOWN
The Owner OF the CANNES Objects
to the Interference With
Their Sport.

NEW YORK, N, Y, July 8.-Mrs. Rosa
Warlock lies at the point of death at her
home in Maiden Lane, Long Island, suf-
fering from the effects of injuries received
yesterday afternoon at the hands of Field
ing FIeck, neighbor.
Mrs. Warlock lives in a neat Queen
Anne cottage, surrounded by well-kept
lawns, on Western avenue. While sitting
in the house singing her baby asleep she
heard a connection around her husband S
chickens, and, upon going into the yard,
found that several dogs belonging to
Fleck were among the fowls and had killed
two of her husband s valuable hens.
She started with the child in her arms to
drive the dogs out, and while in the act of
chasing them from the premises Fleck
came running along with a gun on his
shoulder. She asked him to call his dogs
away, telling him that they had already
killed two valuable hens. This seemed to
anger Fleck, who was under the influence
of liquor. He entered the yard and, ap-
preaching Mrs. Warlock in threatening
manner, applied vile epithets and struck
her violent blow in the face, knocking
out several of her teeth ana sending her
prone to the ground.
Mrs. Warlock, who is a rather large
woman, arose and closed in with her an
tagonist, who again forced her to the
ground and proceeded to kick her in the
breast and sides in most brutal manner.
Grabbing the little baby, which was lying
on the grass crying, he flung it to one SIDE
Mrs Warlock got upon her knees and
begged him not to kill her. Instead of
pacifying him, this angered him the more
and stepping back pace he cooked both
barrels of the gun which he held in his
hands.
The woman struggled to her feet and
strength she had. Fleck twisted it from
her grasp and dealt her murderous blow
on the head with the butt, knocking her
to the ground with violent force.
The brave woman knew that if she re-
NAMED on the ground he would surely
kill her. and that her only chance of
escape was to get up and evade his
clutches.
Almost unconscious and half blinded by
the blood which was flowing into her eyes,
she again seized her assailant and Rugged
him close to her to prevent him from
again using the weapon, Her cries at
tracted the attention of James Spinner, a
farmer, who fastened to her assistance.
Upon his approach Fleck released himself
from the woman and fled, leaving the gun
lying on the ground with both hammers
still raised.
The weapon was subsequently turned
over to Officer Holdsworth, who arrested
Fleck this morning. He was arraigned be-
fore Justice Schumacher, shoemaker, who
released him on $500 bail. This afternoon
Coroner Hallam was summoned to the
woman's bedside by physician, who said
she is fatally injured. Besides an injury
in her head the woman had received fatal
internal injuries which may cause death at
any moment.

QUEER IOWA POLITICS.
Scandal Made to Figure IN the Guberna-
tOridJ Campaign.

Oc0nddC MADE to Figure IN the UH0erhd-
toriaJ Campaign.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, July S.-Delegates
to the Republican State Convention
Wednesday are here in large numbers.
This evening Drake seems to be stronger
than ever before
This morning a sensation was caused by
the appearance of John Henderson of
Centervile, the home of Drake, with the
story of Drake intimacy with his (Hender-
son's) wife and the ruin OF their home.
The same story had been printed in the
Morning Gazette during the earlier part of
the campaign, and when Henderson ap-
peared it caused panic among the Drake
followers.
Later in the day the Drake people made
things so warm that they frightened Hen
derson into statement that the story was
entirely untrue. Drake has produced docu-
ments which go to show that this is the
case. Henderson made a written state
ment Henderson had been brought here
by the friends of Secretary of State Nc
Farland, another candidate, and the de-
velopment and exposure of the plot has
left Mcfarland entirely out of the race.
1t is also proven that the Mcfarland men
were interested in getting Henderson here.
The result is that tonight decided re-
action has begun in favor of Drake, and
the probability of his nomination is
brighter than ever.

.PALEN A BASE DECE|VER,
Margaret Thompson's Charges
Against the Late Jay Gould's
Nephew.
She Demands $25, 900 for His
Failure to Lead Her to
the Altar.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, July S.-M1ss Mar
garet May Thompson, who has instituted
legal proceedings against DR.. Gilbert
Joseph Palen of Philadelphia, a nephew of
the late Jay Gould, for breach of promise
of marriage, claiming $25, 900 damages, is
now at her parents home here and speaks
unreservedly of her case. Miss Thompson,
who has just entered upon her twenty-first
year, is a professional nurse. and enjoys
the highest public esteem for her charming
personality.
"In the first place." said the pretty
nurse, "Dr. Palen did OF attend me pro-
fessionally when I was i'll in Philadelphia.
as he has said he did. DR.. Palen was
deeply interested in my recovery, and to
my father said that we were engaged to be
married, but that he did not want his
father to learn of our engagement until
after his graduation.
"When I was at home here in March
last DR.. Palen wrote to me- saying that he
was coming 10 see me, and on March s
ne did come. Ny parents being aware of
his coming and knowing of our engage
ment naturally accorded him a very hearty
welcome. Up to this time he had not told
me of his relationship to the Gould family
nor of his financial standing. These facts,
had | known them, would have had no
whatever Ol ME III Inc
to give him a favorable answer TO his pro-
posal. After my return home for a brief
rest from my duties at the Philadelphia
Hospital 1 received almost daily letters
from DR.. Palen expressive of the warmest
sentiments.
1.-The tenor of my letter which was
written to DR.. Palen after his marriage.
brief extract of which his lawyer has made
public, has been grossly misrepresented.
4 fer his maria 90 I wrote t0 him aekino
that he return my picture and ironically
congratuating him on his marriage. l in
tended this expression of felicitation to be
accepted in the light of sarcasm, pure and
simple, and in no sense as indicative of
my hearts honest desire. Dr. Palen has
basely deceived me"
Miss Thompson said that the under
standing between the doctor and herself
was that Immediately after he had COM
pIeted his studies abroad they were to be
married. Miss Thompson left tonight for
Philadelphia.

AN IMPROMPTU PARADE,
Hearty Reception Given to the
Rocky Mountain Dele
cation.
EDDIE BALD A FAvORITE
Nominated as a Sure Winner for
the Half Mile Race
Medal.

ASBURY PARK, N. j., July s.-The
sixteenth annual national meet of the l..
A. W. began here to-day. Nearly 1000 cy-
clers of both sexes registered at the club
house of the Asbury Park Wheelmen, each
receiving on exhibiting the certificate of
the league membership a little button
badge, which conveys the freedom of the
city and will prove an open sesame to all
the varied attractive features of this sea-
side paradise.
A soft sea mist fell all the morning,
which, while its effects were perceptible on
white straw hats. was not sufficient to
dampen the enthusiasm of the cyclers.
AT 2:30 P N. the Denver Wheel Club,
seventyeight strong, whose coming had
been announced by telegraph, was received
by 500 cyclers and brass band.
After removing their wheels from a
special baggage car, the members of the
party were escorted through the city past
the local clubhouse and down TO the beach
A host of visiting wheelmen joined in the
impromptu procession, riding to an accom-
paniment of martial melody and hearty
applause.
They arrived at the head of Asbury
avenue, the parade stopped and the Den
yer men gave vent to their pent-up emo
tons in a characteristic club yell that be-
gan with wild, weird howl and ended in
an Indian whoop.
In the Rocky Mountain delegation were
dozen women, who seemed to have en-
joyed the long journey from the West.
Almost every racing man in the city was
on the track of the association some time
to-day, and the big grand stand held many
strangers anxious to observe the work of
the men in training, and pick the possible
winners of the National championship.
Eddie Cannon" Bald is generally nomi-
mated for the half-mile medal and A. D..
Kennedy Jr. of Chicago for the two-mile,
but these of course, are the merest specu-
lations.
1t is rumored to-day that the meeting of
the board of trade of cycle manufacturers
and the racing board of the l..
A. w. at the Coleman House here
this week will not, as was reported, take
any consideration of the matter of profess
sional racing, and the class B men are ac-
cordingly breathing easier. Most of the
B riders deny the story that they intend to
espouse professionalism in body after the
present week, and Eddie Bald, who would
probably make more by turning" than
any two others in his class, is loudest in
disavowing the rumored determination.
To-day was almost entirely devoted to
the reception of visitors. Tomorrow there
will be runs to Long Branch and Spring
Lake in the morning, but the great parade
in the afternoon, followed by monster
clambake at Rhode Island Point, rendered
by the Asbury Park wheelmen to the Ma
tional Division officials of the league, will
be the event of the day.

FIGHT THEIR WAY OUT.
Ranks of the Insurgents Give
Way After Fierce
Battle.
HEAVY LOSS OF ASsAILANTs.
Leave the Field Uttered With Dead
to Mark the Failure of
Their Coup.

HAVANA, CUBA, July S.-Advices that
have reached here from Santiago de Cuba
are to the effect that Major Sanchez, COM
handing a Government force, discovered
1900 insurgents under command of the
rebel chief, Rabi, strongly posted near
Manzanillo. Major Sanchez thereupon
sent message to Major Aznar. inviting
him to join forces and attack the rebels.
The insurgents captured the messenger
and hanged him.
They then sent reply to Major San
CHEFS message. signing Major Aznar's
name to it, saying that an attack on the
insurgents would be made at another
named point. Major Sanchez fell into the
trap and advanced as directed in the
forged message.
His forces were suddenly attacked by
the rebels in narrow defle. The insur-
gents charged on the Spanish troops in the
most plucky manner, welding the deadly
machete freely. The troops were unable
to maneuver owing to the lack of space.
Two sergeants, one at the head of
thirty men and the other at the head of
twelve men, gained commanding positions
and succeeded in checking the insurgents,
shooting all that came in range of their
rifles. Their fire was so deadly that the
rebels made no further attempt to charge,
and the troops were enabled to escape
from the defle in which they had been
ambushed The Government force then
attacked the main portion of the rebels,
and compelled them to retreat. The in
surgents lost $50 killed. The Government
loss was fifty killed and wounded.

QUEER DIPLOMATIC TALK,
En- baSSador EuStiS Credited
With Threatening Great
Britain.
Comment Caused by Pretended
Interview Published In the
Figaro.

PARIS, FRANCE, July S.-The Figaro
prints what purports to be an interview
with United States ambassador Eustis. in
which that gentleman is made to say that
nothing has been decided regarding his
candidacy for the Presidency of the United
States.
Speaking of the Chino-Japanese war Mr..
Eustis is reported as saying that he greatly
admired the Japanese and regretted very
much that they had not taken Picking.
Concerning Canada Mr.. Eustis is alleged
to have said that it rested entirely with
the United States whether Canada would
be taken into the American federation.
The Government of the United States pre-
ferred to allow the question to rest, at the
same time, however. giving Great Britain
to understand that there must not be any
nonsense or Canada would be annexed.

A|LSA WINS BY A SCRATCH,
The Britannia Beaten by an
Accident at Hunters
Quay.
When Well In the Lead Its Main
Sheet Is Parted by the
Heavy Wind.

HUNTERS QUAY, ENG, July 8.-The
Britannia and the Ailsa started in a race
over the usual course this morning, the
Ailsa crossing the line at 1:30:12 and the
Britannia at 1925. The wind was blow
ing fresh from the south and both boats
carried backyard topsails. 1t was dead
beat to windward for the first mark.
The boats rounded Skelmorlie in this
order: Ailsa, IL $685. Britannia, II IA :03
The time of rounding Ascog was: Ailsa,
12:0418; Britannia, 1905 :35. The wind
was blowing strong, and both boats shifted
to jib-headed topsails. Passing the Cloch
light the Ailsa had lead of two minutes
The first round was finished by the
yachts rounding the commodore's boat as
follows: Alisa, :13 05; Britannia, IA :33.
1t was wonderfully keen race, both boats
making number of short tacks for the
weather mark on the second round.
The rounding of the Skellmorlie mark
was made by the Ailsa at 2:11:35 and by
the Britannia at 2:12:03. The Ailsa
changed her jib for a smaller one on the
way down, but the results of the changes
were difficult to follow, owing to drizzling
rain and thick haze. The time of the
yachts rounding Ascog was: Britannia
2:37 05, Ailsa 2:37 :55.
The Ailsa's jib split off at Innellan, and
the Britannia, having passed her, was
leading by So seconds and sailing WELL
The Aisa was going by the head, her
main boom periodically trailing for sew
eral minutes in the water. The wind and
sea were still heavy.
At Kilcroggan, the Britannia held her
lead of fifty seconds, but Immediately on
rounding the mark she was hove into the
wind and her foresail was lowered. Shortly
afterward her topsail was also lowered.
The Ailsa finished alone, crossing the
finish line at 3:46:0S.
The cause of the Britannia's heaving to.
it has been learned, was the parting of her
main sheet. 1t happened when she gibed
in the heavy wind and sea to round the
Kilcreggan mark.
The twenty-raters. the Niagara, Zenita,
Eucharist and Dakotah, started half an
hour after the big boats, crossing the line
as follows:
Zenita :oo:o2. Niagara 11:oO:O7, Eu-
charist 11:00:16, Dakotah II :00:19 The
Niagara won, crossing the final finish line
at 2:20.52 The Eucharist finished at
2:45:50, the Zenita at 2:53:18. the Dakotah
at 3:01 :53.
The Valkyrie III started up the Clyde in

PURELY Il FABRICATION.
The State Department Places No Reliance
on the Fiqdro's Report.

on the Ffgdro's Report.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July S.-State
Department officials regard the reported
utterances of Minister Eustis in Paris, as
printed in the Figaro of that city and
transmitted by cable to the United States,
as being among the most improbable of
the many improbable fabrications which
that newspaper continually imposes upon
the French Republic. Intimate friends of
Minister Eustis in this city, who are in
constant communication with him and
who know his cautious, phlegmatic tenn
permanent, assert that the sentiments
placed in his mouth are such as he does
not entertain. Further, even if he did
hold such views, they consider that the
United States Minister to France would be
the last person to give them publicity in
an interview with a reporter of a noto-
riously sensational paper.
Mr.. Eustis' patriotic American speech at
the London banquet, which excited so
much comment, was carefully prepared
and deliberately delivered, friends in this
city being aware of his intention to make
such speech some days before an abstract
of it was flashed over the ocean by cable.
They say it is utterly absurd to imagine
man of his judicial discretion to perpetrate
such a lot of balderdash as that placed in
his mouth by the Paris Figaro. The story
carries its own refutation on it's face, and
no explanation will be asked by the State
Department.

FROGS CHANGE THEIR COLOR,
An Observant Jerseyman's Contribution
to the Darwinian Theory.

An Observant Jerseyman's Contribution
to the Darwinian Theory.
Within a week a curious change has
taken place in the color of the frogs in the
observant Jerseyman's little ponds. These
frogs are now about six inches in length
of body, and when their hind legs are ex-
tended they are at least foot long. They
were brought to the ponds three years ago,
when they were only about two inches
long. From that time up to about week
ago all but one were of a dark, muddy
green, and some of them were almost
black. The exception was of light, grassy
as a distinguished member of the frog
colony by the Jerseyman's younger son,
who takes more interest in the study of
bugs and birds and reptiles than he does
in books. He knows each of the frogs in
dividually, feeds them for amusement. and
knows each ones particular parents and
habits.
Within week he says that every one of
the big frogs has turned lighter in color
He says he can account for this only upon
the theory that they have adjusted them
selves to change in their surroundings.
The bottom of the ponds is of dark. soft
and exceedingly light mud. The edges are
covered with growth of grass and wild
flowers, which is very much thicker this
year than ever before. The grass lies out
upon the water in a thick mat for foot in
width all around the ponds. The frogs lie
basking within this border of grass during
almost the whole of each day, and their
changed color just fits them to remain
there unobseryed.-New York Sun.

Kenwood Country Club are gradually be-

spondingly better The wind to-day

So far the Chicago players have clearly
outplayed the visitors. The playing OF the
Nell brothers has been brilliant at times,
and it is expected they will win the
doubles. Carr Nell will probably win the
championship. He will probably play the
final match with Sam Chase. The first
round matches in doubles have been
played and the second and third rounds of
the singles.

SKELETONS IN Il CAVE.
Il Chastity Discovery in the Httds OF

Greenland.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July S.-The
skeletons of eighteen men, apparently
member of an Inflated exploring party,
were discovered in small cave in wild
and desolate part of the southwest
of Greenland by Captain Hans An
derson OF the bark Serano, which
arrived here to-day from Ivigtut. Who
the men were and whence they came are
questions that the future may or may not
determine. The superficial examination
made by Captain Anderson of the skeletons
and of the cave in which they were found
developed no clew to their identity. The
Danish Government, however. has dis
patched warship to the scene for the pur-
pose OF making thorough investigation.
