Shot Himself on the Train.

Syracuse, n Y, June 4-Early this
morning an unknown woman, accom-
panied by man about thirty years of
age, dark complexion and dressed in
black, entered the Central depot at
Rochester. The man boarded the South
western limited train, leaving his COM
panion in the depot As the train passed
out Of Lyons, the stranger entered the
gentleman's toilet room of palace Car
and locked himself in Shortly after
wards two revolver shots in rapid success
sion were heard coming from this room.
The door was taken down and the man
was found lying on the floor with re-
volver wound in his forehead A bullet
hole in the car window showed where the
other shot had gone to. At this city the
man was removed to ST. Joseph hospital.
He was still alive and an examination of
the wound that the bullet wound ex-
tended about two inches under the scalp.
Nothing was found on his person by
which he could be identified. He had a
through ticket from Rochester to Boston,
thirty seven cents in money and a pint
bottle, one-quarter full of whiskey. His
underwear was purchased in Lynn,
Mass. AT a late hour this afternoon he
had not recovered consciousness.

A FRENCH SERVANT.
Makes What is to Him a Very Natural
Mistake.

The daughter of one of Portland S
prominent citizens is married to a New
York gentleman who lives in elegant
style in the great metropolis. The old
family homestead is located in Paris in
this state and recently it was decided to
have the place thoroughly remodelled and
repaired and turned into summer home
This has been done and recently the
family left New York and went to Paris,
leaving orders with their major domo, or
butler-or whatever the chief of staff S
position may be-to forward the furnish
lngs, plate, silver ware, personal clothing,
etc, to that place Now it happens that
the major-domo is Frenchman, and
when told to forward all these things to
Paris, he naturally supposed that Paris,
France, was meant, so all the goods were
shipped by the French steamer to Havre,
and the family are shivering and worry
ing at the homestead at Paris, Maine,
awaiting the return of their household
goods and prepared to pay the duties on
their arrival at New York

Safe Blowers in Boston.

Boston, June 4-Safe blowers reaped
a harvest at the West End early this
morning. About 8 O'Clock they entered
the wholesale liquor establishment of Cas-
per Berry & Co., "a Leverett street, and,
with the aid of giant powder, blew open
the safe and decamped with more than
$1,000 in hard cash.
The police thus far have been unable
to, obtain clew that will lead to the
arrest of the burglars.
1t is thought that the work was that
of professional burglars and Inspector
Abbott and Officers Gilmore and Ahearn
on Station 8 are now working on that
theory. They are looking for certain ex-
convicts of the state prison who have
been seen at the West End recently.
Casper Berry & Co., occupy the whole
of the building numbered "a as whole
sale establishment, and next door they
have a retail store. Despite the fact that
there was a loud explosion none of the
glass in the windows was shattered, and
although officers only a short distance
away heard the explosion, it was some
little time before it could be learned
where the noise came from, owing to the
fact that the doors ofeall the buildings
near by were found secure and there was
nothing that would show that anything
out of the ordinary had taken place.

He does not of course explain the full

The danger caused by dense fog at
sea cannot be appreciated, and especially
does the danger increase when the vessel
is approaching ONE harbor which she must
make or is nearing some danger. Then
the straining ear may detect the warn
ing bell or whistle, but confused as the
sailor is by the fog, it is impossible to
locate the direction.
The vessel may be approaching danger
while the sound seems to come from all
Sides The same is true of approaching
vessels, and hundreds of lives have been
sacrificed to just that fact that the sound
was heard, but the direction could not
be ascertained. Major Heap had an in
strument made from his design and in
vited officers representing the govern
ment service to be present at test, and

THE INVENTION.

A description of the new instrument is
briefykthat it resembles an immense fog
horn, of brass, with thin sheet of brass
splitting it and extending beyond -Athe
other parts. AS will be seen by the cut
the half round piece on the sides of the Hat
sheet of brass taper back and at the
small end piece of rubber hose fits
over each. The other end of the hose is
connected with close felt cap that
covers the head of the man who operates
the instrument, the tube from the right
side of the instrument passing through
to the right ear, and the left side being
connected in the same way.
The curved pieces of brass act as do the
passages of the ear and magnify the
sounds, while the fiat sheet of brass acts
as a interceptor SO that a sound at the
right is only heard in the right ear. By
turning the end of the instrument, as
soon as it is pointed directly at the sound
it is heard in both ears, and any variation
from the true direction is known as once

WHO WAS TO BLAME?
Janitor Hersey of the Oxford Building
Badly Pummelled Mr.. Guenthner and
then Arrested Him-They Tell Conflict
ing Stories.

Last evening, just before six O'Clock,
Janitor Frank Hersey of the Oxford
building, who is also a special officer
brought into the police station a Mr..
Guenthner, who is employed by the Metro
politan Insurance company, and has an
office in the Oxford building Mr.. Hersey
was very much excited, and Mr.. Guenth-
ner's face was very much bruised and his
dress disordered.
Hersey wanted Guenthner locked up on a
charge of disorderly conduct. He said
that they had had some talk in the morn
ing about tobacco juice on the floor of the
corridors, and that that evening when
Guenthner came down to leave the build
ing he abused him (Hersey) and tried to
pick quarrel with him, and struck at
him and then Hcrsey struck back several
times and with decidedly good effect, if
appearances count for anything
Mr. Guenthner, who is about thirty five
or forty years of age, and much smaller
man than Jersey, said that Hersey
came to his office that morning and COM
planned about tobacco juice on the floor
of the corridor. Guenthner made some
Joking remark about it and the matter
dropped When he came down to leave
the building that night Jersey attacked
him savagely and gave him a severe beat
ing, and then arrested him. Guenthner
declared that Mr.. Cullen G. Chapman
| would discharge Hersey as soon as he
| learned of it in the morning Also that
the only witness of the affair was the
elevator boy.
Deputy Hartnett allowed Guenthner to
go home, but ordered him and Hersey and
the boy to appear in court this morning.
Another version of the affair is from
one of the eye witnesses in the building.
1t is to the effect that Guenthner had
harrassed Hersey for some time and
abused him and called him vile name,
and tried to get up fight with him, that
finally Herseyi said that he was willing
to fight, that they went down to the
lower corridor of the building and
| Guenthner pulled off his coat and attacked
| Hersey and that in less than two min
| utes Guenthner was badly used up; also
| that others in the building looked on and
did not interfere
This Mr.. Guenthner was formerly a
captain in the Salvation Army here, and
afterwards an evangelist. He held
religious meetings is Union hall and at
that time acquired some notoriety because
of certain alleged irregular proceedings.

AILsA'S HARD LUCK.

Got Ashore While Leading in a Race
.kLondon, June 1.-The morning was
hazy and dull and the wind light from
the southwest. Although there were
numerous yachts and other craft afioat,
the number of spectators was not nearly
so large as yesterday, the first day of the
Royal Harwich yacht club regatta In
the race for twenty raters the starters and
the courses were the same as yesterday.
The Britannia and Ailsa also started.
Both of the large boats crossed the line
before the starting signal was given, and
We're recalled. In the second attempt to
get away the Britannia had the best of it,
crossing the line at 10. o.. 30, the Ailsa
following closely. Both had their jack
yarderS and jibtopsails out. The Ailsa
was a length ahead at the Shipwash
light.
The Britannia, at the beginning of the
race, had obtained an excellent berth to
the windward, but the Ailsa almost
Immediately oyerlapped her. and, in pass
ing the bell buoy, the Ailsa drew clear
ahead.
The twenty raters got a capital start.
The Niaraga, under full sail, was the
first to cross the line, which she did at
10. 45. 20. She was followed by the Luna,
which lad the windward berth. The
Luna soon passed the Niaraga The other
competitors in the race made short boards
up the harbor, while the Niagara and
Minomosa stood over for Felixstowe pier.
At the end of the first round the Mino-
mosa was in the lead, followed by the
Stephanie and the Niaraga.
The Prince of Wales wearing a pilot
jacket, was on board of the Britannia.
AS the boat crossed the starting line he
was recognized and cheered. He raised
his cap in acknowledgements.
The Ailsa ran ashore on the Shipwash
lands She was in the lead at the time
and the sea was smooth She will
probably be 1oated at the flood of the tide
about O'Clock
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1895-06-05

The instrument is about six feet long
with width of some Is inches at the
outer end.
THE TESTS
were very satisfactory With the naked
ear the w1istling buoy five miles away
could be distinctly heard at times, but
the sounds were magnified by the con-
ductor and the vessel was at once headed
for the whistle. The vessels course was
altered, but each time the change was
at once detected by the operator, and
then the infallibility of the instrument
was quickly proved. Each of the gentle
men took his turn at the instrument and
the tests were continued with the bell
buoy, approaching vessels, ETC., for sew
eral hours. All those present were en-
thusiastic over it's success and spoke of
the great value it would be, not only to
steam vessels and ocean liners, but to
fishermen, especially in the case of losing
members of the crew in the fog. The
instrument is so simple in construction
that it will be available for general
use on merchant vessels.
