company Mrs. Matthews home. An
hour later the man stopped at Mrs.

cealing something in regard to the iden-
tity of the stranger 1t Is said that she

Trenton, N. j., June 17.-Fred c.

from Roxbury. N. j., tonight at 1890
o'clock killed himself with a shot from
his revolver, with which he had just
fired three fatal shots into the head of
Hattie Coombs, aged IS, of this city,
who had lived for the past two weeks
as domestic in the home of Mrs
John Johnson, on Spring street. The
effect Of Floyd's shot on himself was
instantaneous, being picked up dead.
The girl was taken ito st. Francis hos
pital The girls father was notified in
bed of the tragedy. He says he only
knows that Floyd had paid considera-
bic attention to his daughter, who got
acquainted with him several months
ago on a farm near Roxbury. The
daughter grew tired Of Floyd's atten-
tion. She objected to him on account
of the disparity in their ages and so
notified her parents a week ago.
There were two eye witnesses to the
shooting, which took place In "a central
portion of the city under an electric
light. Valentine Koch was sitting at
a window Of his home when the couple
passed. He heard no loud talking.
Floyd fred shot, when the girl ran
about fifteen feet. He rushed after her
and turning her face toward him,
still holding the body, fired three times
into her head. Miss Coombs died at
midnight.

DISTILLERIES FIRED UPON.
Deputy Marshais Exchange Shots with
Boatloads OF Men -Bloodlcss Battle ut
Chicago.

Deputy MarShaIs ENShuhsc SINUS WI"
Boat,oads of Men -Bloodlcss Battle ut
Chicago.
Chicago, June 17.-According to the
report of Deputy Marshal Charles
Nordrum, made to Marshall Arnold, the
first attack made on the distilleries in
charge of Receiver McNulta took place
at an early hour this morning, the
Shufeldt distillery, corner of Chicago
and Hawthorne avenues, being fired
upon by party of men in boats. Short
ly after l o'clock the deputy marshals
guarding the distillery noticed party
consisting of eleven men cautiously
coming up the river in two large skiffs.
On reaching the southern end of the
distillery grounds tine boats were slow
ly pulled over to the west bank of the
river.
When directly opposite the distillery
the oarsmen were ordered by a young
man in the first boat to cease rowing,
and second later to fire. The next
instant a succession of shots were
heard, the bullets rattlng against the
walls behind which the deputies were
standing. A minutes later a second
volley was fired at the distillery. This
time the deputies returned the fire, and
for a few minutes there was brisk
fusilade of shots. The men in the boats
finally rowed away, the deputies send
ing a shower of bullets after them.
None of the deputies We're injured. 1t
is not known who the attacking party
.bnt S,f IN,
jured.
"I think the crowd in the boats
thought they could make a rush and
drive my deputies away" said Mar
shall Arnold this morning. 1T was a
concerted movement, and was no doubt
deliberately planned before hand. Who
is at the back of it / cannot tell. l
don't see just what was to be gained by
getting temporary possession in that
way. The deputies guarding the disti
leries will hereafter be armed with
something more effective than revol-
vers."
Receiver McNulta and Marshal Ar
mold were in conference today, but be-
fore deciding to strengthen the force of
deputies at the Shufeldt and other dis
tilleries, they want to have the report
OF Special Officer Nordrum corrobo-
rated, and Deputy Curran has been
delegated to make the investigation.
This action of the marshal and the re-
ceiver is taken as an indication that
they gave some attention to the inti-
nation that the deputies. all of whom
are special men, may have engaged in
the pastime of night attack in order
to frighten the receiver and hold their
positions for an indefinite time.
