 With a Razor.

New Bedford, Oct 10,-A brutal as sault, which may turn out in murder, was committed here to-day, Arthur Guertin, Frenchman employed by Per kins x Chace as a roofer, slashed his paramour, Ella Greenwood, with ra- zor, coming within hairs breadth of severing her jugular vein. Rum and Jealousy are at the bottom of the trou- ble. A crowd of blacks and whites were engaged in playing cards and drinking at Guertin' house on Chancery street.
 During the game Dave Helm, d col ored man, and the Greenwood woman
 ndulged in a tete-a-tete in one corner of the room. Guertin who was jealous of the attention shown her by the col ored man. rose suddenly from the table, seized the Greenwood woman around the waist and dragged her into a bed room, where he threw her across the bed and cut her throat. He then skip ped.
 The physicians who were summoned took seventeen stitches in the cut in the woman's neck. They think she has an even chance for recovery although she may die from loss of blood since it was some time before she had medical at tention. When the news of the affair reached the police Chief Douglass or dered the police alarm to be rung in, and the whole force was set to scour- ing the city and vicinity to find Guer- tin

The Statement Denied.

Washington, Oct. 10-AAn inference drawn from Lord Sackville's recent pamphlet that MT. Bayard had not talk en offence at the Murchison letter until the newspapers made it a political issue was denied to-day by a former official associate of MT. Bayard, who said if Lord Saokville intended to be understood that MT Bayard had as- sured him he attached no importance to it the statement is not true. The pamphlet is not regarded in Washington as containing any unpublished informa- ton except the account of Lord Sack ville's trip to the James river on "the presidents yacht to escape alleged Irish assassins. It is seid that Lord Sackville's fears were preyed on by a well known local labor agitator, who fared well through the incident. It is not understood, however, how Lord Granville in London obtained informa- tion which warranted nIm in cabling the state department that Lord Sack ville's life was in danger unless it was that Lord Sackville sent the informa- tion to Lord Granville by cable on the basis of statements made by the agita- tor referred to.

Unable to DO Anyth ng.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Nothing has been received at the state department to indicate what course will be taken by Louis Stern of New York with reference to the sentence of two weeks imprison- ment imposed on him at Kissingen, Ba- varia for violation of a local ordinance and for insulting the high commission CT. The denial of Mir. Stern's appeal for clemency by the Bayarian government leaves the state department unable to do anything further in the matter, but the record of evidence and documentary statements received at the department indicate that MT. Stern has been harsh ly treated and may form the basis of a claim against the principality.

SWALLOWED PARIS GREEN
MRS. WILLIAM KLERNAN TIRED 0E'
 4 TROUBLED LITE.

She Takes a Largo Dose of Poison at
 Her Home and Goes to Her Mothers
 House to Die-Prompt Efforts or Physi-
 clans May Save Her Life.
 Mrs. William Kiernan the wife of a printer, living at 39O East street, took dose of Paris green last night about o'clock with suicidal intent and is now at the hospital in precarious con- dition. She took the dose of poison at her home on East street and then hastened to the home of her mother, Mrs. McGee, at 12 Myrtle street, short distance from her own home.
 She was there taken violently i'll and confessed to the rash act Dr. Cahill was hastily summoned and when he responded he administered an emetic and ordered the woman removed to the hospital where proper treatment could be given her. She was taken to that institution and operated upon with a stomach pump. The woman had taken a large dose of the poison and the physicians had to work hard to save her life, but they finally succeeded in removing most of the drug. At late hour it was stated that the woman would probably recover.
 The cause of the attempt is trouble, which has weighed upon the womans mind and produced acute melancholia. She left note addressed to her father. asking him to forgive her, as she did not know what to do. She is twenty seven years old and has a family.

 Little Rock, Ark, Oct, 1O.--In an inter- view to-day Governor Clark said:
 Neither Corbett nor Fitzsimmons yet said so far as l have beard that the mill was to take place in this or any other state, and as they will eventually
 be the chief attraction at the coming exhibition l prefer to wait until some-
 thing more tangible than talk developes before l shall decide what l shall do should an attempt be made to bring the fight in Arkansas. By common ru- mor, the officers at Hot Springs, includ- ing the mayor and city attorney, are anxious to secure the mill, but l hardly believe all l hear. l shah not need fur ther authority than that at present on
 the statute books to prevent people from coming into the state for purposes that are prohibited by every state in the union"
 Attorney General Kins~orthy said to- day that he hoped the management of the mill had no serious intention of coming to Arkansas for the purpose of 1 pulling it off, but that if they should
 he would prosecute them to the fullest 1 extent of the law.

 a dispatch from Havana giving the de-
 tails of the loss on September 29 last
 of the Spanish cruiser Crtstobal Colon,
 which stranded off the north coast of
 Cuba and R,ter became a total wreck,
 The cruiser Condo de Venadito, one
 of the vessels sent to the scene of the
 wreck has returned to Havana having
 on board the crew of the Cristobal Colon, The latter passed Cape San An toni, the western extremity of Cuba, on
 September 29. She had on board a pilot who was conVersant with the south coast, but ignorant of the north coast.
 A "norther" was blowing and the weather was cloudy and bad. This prevented the taking of observations and the vessel got off her course. At about midnight on September 29 she struck on the Buena Vista shoal, some 1 fifty miles northeast of Cape San An tonic. The sea was running high and at o'clock the next meeting it was seen her position was hopeless After the captain had addres@2d the crew he gave orders for the boars to be cleared away. There was not room in the | boats for all on board the cruiser and 1 the captain and twenty others remain ed on the stranded ship. The captain gave orders that two of the boats after
 making the Nlore were to return to the cruiser if the sea would allow them to
 do so. otherwise, h. added, tell my
 wife I died like a Christian, and that
 my last thoughts were of her"
 Fortunately two of the boats were able to make their way back to the
 wreck and succee ded in taffing off those on board of her When the ship was abandoned her decks were breaking ur and her plates Were starting

Cnban Rebels Use Dvnamit ite

Havana Oct. 10.-A band of rebels yesterday attacked with dynamite a passenger train from Remedies, killing one person and wounding six others. The scene of the attack was between Placetas and Camahuani The rebels, who were concealed in the undergrowth along the line, threw a bomb as the train passed, the explosion badly wreck ing one of the cars. The affair will cause a further falling off in railway travel, as it is feared that the rebels will make similar attacks again. The military guards who accompany the trains on the railways are no defense against attacks of this kind, in which non-combatants are usually the vic tins.

SAYED HIS LIFE.

Dragged From the Track by Policeman
 Just Before an Express Train Came
 Along.
 Lester Dorman was found last night lying on the railroad tracks in the cut under the Grand avenue bridge. Pa- trolman Williams discovered the man and thought him the victim of an ac- cident. An incoming train was short ly due and the policeman hurried down the steep wall of the cut The glare of a headlight was seen approaching and just as the recumbent form was dragged to one side an express train dashed by on the very rails between which Dorman had been lying. A hasty examination showed that the man was simply drunk and the wagon lugged him off unconscious of his nar- row escape from death.

Suit is a Friendly One.

Waterbury, Oct 10.-Application was made this afternoon to have a friendly suit in the nature of quo warranto proceedings to determine the legality of Mondays town and city elections. Neither party is disposed to attempt to reap political advantage from the probable invalidation of all the ballots, but some argue that when the newly elected city government attempts ito levy and collect taxes, impose paving and sewer assessments and float bonds serious complications may arise. Sen ator Webster the defeated republican candidate for mayor, says the ballots were unquestionably illegal but that the acts of de facto officials will be valid. At Mondays election John F. Maher and John c. Grvrs, democratic candidates for the board of relief, re- ceived an equal number of votes and no declaration of election was made. To-day Town Attorney Green Kendricll advises that Maher, whose name stood first on the ballot, is entitled to the of- fire

Washington, Oct. 10.-Secretary Car lisle called on Attorney General Har- mon to-day and handed him several tel egrams received from collectors of cus- toms and others regarding the move ment of alleged filibustering parties along the gulf coast.

EXCITEMENT IN D4NBURY.
Several Joints Raided and Court Held on
 the Fair Grounds.

p'Neitt V'the iNhlutu RtHu sturt heiu oh
 the Fair Grounds.
 Danbury Oct. 10--The whole town is excited over the events which transpir- ed at the fair grounds to-day. If the reports which are in wide circulation are true the condition of things at Dan bury's big exhibition are disgraceful in the extreme, and in addition to this the Danbury police force has rendered itself liable to charges of the most serious nature. Ever since the inauguration of the fair at the beginning of the week certain Danburians have been com blaming at the conditions which are all legged to prevail at the fair grounds. They claim that liquor is sold without restraint, gambling in all phases is per- mitted and carried on openly in viola ton of the law, and some of the most indignant ones claim that houses of ill., fame are maintained on the grounds. MofeoVer, they allege that it has been impossible to get the Danbury police force to enforce the laws.
 Matters yesterday reached such na ss that the citizens abandoned all hone VI iiSitltiS Dy means Of the Danbury police and they appealed to the Fairfield county commissioners. The commissioners placed the matter in the hands of F. O. Hull, prosec,1t ing agent of Bridgeport Yesterday MT. Hull, in company with Justice OBrien of Bridgeport came to Danbury and called upon Captain Alexander of the police force. Obtaining no satisfaction from him they took the ma tier into their own hands and to-day was de- cided upon as the time for action. Ac- cordlngly taking with them every avail able deputy sheriff in Fairfield county, ten in number, Mir. Hull and Justice O'Brien went to the grounds.
 Each deputy was provided with an assistant. A raid was planned and 9 o'clock this afternoon was chosen as the hour. shortly before that hour Jus tice O'Brien walked into the fair ground quarters of Captain Alexander and ordered him to clear the room. stating that he intended to hold court there. The captain was astounded. but deemed it advisable to comply and the room was cleared. The officers wera SLdl4OHeu near lSH or the suspected joints and at 2:10. the exact time sef the raid was made. Ten arrests were made and eight seizures The prison- CTS were taken before Justice O'Brien and held for trial in $75 bonds. All hut one furnished bonds, man named Grollman, and he is locked up in tho Danbury jail.
 The prisoners tried to work a flim- fam game on Justice O'Brien by nlac- ing the amount of their bonds before him in q heap. They were then locked up and made to give bonds alone.
 Tn the complaint of the county con- missioners it is alleged that women are carrying on disrep-ftable business under the guise of fortune tellars. De tails, too vulgar for utterance, are re- tailed in the complaint. Justice O'Brien stated tonight that one of the men brough before him informed him that Captain Alexander had been paid amply and for value received promised imnu- nifty from arrest.
 The affair has created great zxcfte- ment, and by many it is thought the turn affairs have taken will be death blow to the Danbury fair.

DEAD IN ORANGE WOODS
BODY OF AVIAN WITH ROPE AROUND
 HIS NECK.

He Was Dressed in Winter Clothing-B 'dy Scarcely Rccognizable-Undoub .
 Case of suicide--Iay be the Body of Aged
 Paul Waterman.
 The dead body of a man was found in Orange yesterday morning by Authur B. Treat of Smith, Sperry & Treat, and < J, J, Merwin, who were out hunting in the woods about a mile from Tyler City station near the Bradley road. They found the remains in a clump of bushes and stumbled over them accidentally. The body had undoubtedly been there for long time, as it was in an ad- vanced state of decomposition.
 The two men reported their find to Coroner Mix and yesterday afternoon he made an Investigation. The man was dressed in brown overcoat, dark clothes, wristlets and mittens. The head was separated from the body, and a piece of rope With a slip moose on it was between them, plainly showing that the death was a case of suicide by iisti5iAtS' LS DONy idu uLuOuDlSulS hung from a limb of rree overhead until the rope had routed away and al lowed its shastly burden to fall to the ground. No one in the neighborhood could identify the remains, and they are still in the woods where they were found.
 Last night Paul Waterman of 52S Congress avenue called at the police sta tion ard reported that his father had been missing since last February and he was given a description of the re- mains as received from the coroner. He stated that his father had on an overcoat and wristlets when he left home but he was not certain of his having had mittens.
 As the remains were found dressed in winter clothing, he felt positive that he had at last discovered the fate of his missing parent, particularly as he had last been seen in the north part of Orange The old gentleman was slight ly demented, and 1t had been supposed that he had wandered off somewhere got lost and died from exposure.
 MT. Waterman called on Coroner Mix last night, and is sure the body is that of his father. He will accompany Dr. Barnett of West Haven, the medical ex- aminer, to the woods this afternoon and view the remains, when he can positive iy identify them
