Families Starving.

Buffalo, October 23.-A dispatch from
Tonawanda says that the families of
the men imprisoned for taking part in
the riot which resulted in the death of
Capt. Philips and his son, are almost
destitute. With scarcely an except on
they are ouartered on the boats that lie
tied up along the banks of the canal.
Out of the whole 90 families there is not
one that has dollar in money or a pen
nys worth Of credit at the stores which
make business of supplying boatmen
In nearly every case actual starvation
staressthem in the face. One woman told
a reporter that for three days the only
articles of food that she and her two
children had to eat were loaf of bread
and less than quart of molasses
Finally even this poor preserving
material was exhausted. and only chari-
ty saved them from starvation.

CASSINDER CONNOR.
Still Talking About the Eccentric Indian
Doctor.

Biddeford, October 24.-Today Coroner
E. G. Bradbury of Saco received further
information, or rather, further communi-
cation in regard to Cassinder f. Connor,
the Indian herb doctor, who committed
suicide by burning herself to death in
a cell at the Saco police station.
Mr.. Bradbury has received several
communications from the postmaster at
Sebago Lake, which stated that Mrs.
Connor had friends in Deering, also sew
eral sons at Rangeley Lakes, who were
quite wealthy. The city marshal of Deer
in q was asked if any friends of DR.. Con-
nor's could be found, but no one in Deer
ing knew such woman.
The officials at Rangeley were despatch
ed to in regard to the sons, but they knew
no such persons who resided IN that vi
oinity. The postmaster at Sebago stated
that DR.. Connor had lived in that place
nine months in a small cabin by herself.
She had probably told him that she
had these friends at Deering and sons
at Rangeley.
But it seems that DR.. Connor did net
not always stick very closely to the
truth as was stated by Mrs Rounds, when
interviewed the morning of the suicide.
She said that you couldn't tell any thing
by what the doctor said. The old Indian
must have been terribly out of her head.
She wrote letter TO a certain party on
the 18th of October stating that she
was settled in ASaco and was having a
large practice She also stated that she
had purchased span of horses. In reali-
ty she didn't arrive IN Saco until October
10th, and on the 17th committed sui
eide.
Mr.. Bradbury received communications
from this party who had received the let
fer from DR.. Conner stating that she
was having such practice in Saco. The
gentleman resides in Wilford, n H. He
Stated that Mrs Conner had four sons,
at or near Madrid; Turman Pollard,
Jesse L. Pollard, James Smythemere and
John Smy ythemere by name.
He also stated that DIR. Connor had sew
eral husbands living, speaking as though
there were five or six of them, but their
names or where they reside were not
MIR. Bradbury says that he doesn' t
know whether to regard this as inforlna-
tion or not, but he has written to Ma
drid to obtain further particulars il pos

In case Sanger the Indian was ever ready
to act and often too at the expense of personal
bodily harm to himself. This promptness and
self-reliance in cases of accident has been the
means of his saving many lives. Equally alert
has he ever been for greater dangers, those
arising from disordered condition of the
kidneys, liver, stomach - blood, which he
knew as well as the best physician Of to-day
would eventually result in deaths
His remedy for these troubles was always a
medicine compounded from roots, herbs, barks
and gums, not roughly thrown together. but
carefully compounded, the secret OF 4naking
it having been handed down from generation
to generation. This same remedy known as
KIcKAPoo INDIAN SAGwA. is to-day still made
as it was formerly by the Indian and is known
and recognized the world over as one OF the
greatest blessings ever given to man.
If you are ailing try this wonderful medicine.

They were all arrested for exhibiting

1t was rumored that a general RAID was
to be made upon the ring and bookles
soon shut up shop. The officers hustled
and arrested men outside the track, the
patrol wagon being summoned from west
Chester station. AS sool as the excite
ment subsidized somewhat, the book
makers again started in, keeping close
lookout for another rush.
just before the bugle sounded Tor the
last race, the officers went to the judges

THE DOORS SHUT.
BY the Royal School Of Naval Con-
structi0n.
No More Americans Will be Admitted
Various Reasons Assigned for the
Action.

Various Reasons Assigned for the
Action
Washington, October 24.-Lieut. Com
mander Cowles, naval attache of the
United States embassy in London, in
formed the navy department today that
the Royal School of Naval Architecture
at Greenwich will hereafter decline to
receive any constructors of the United
States navy. No reason for this action is
assigned. The post graduate course for
American constructors is still open at
Glasgow and Paris. Cornell University
recently added a similar course to its
curriculum.
At the navy department several reasons
are ascribed for the action Of. the Green
wich establishment, which is a govern
ment affair. 1t is believed by some of
the officials it is the design of the British
government to prevent obtaining knowl-
edge of English shipbuilding plans. An
other supposition is that Great Britain
believes the United States government
has advanced so far in the construction
of war ships there is no necessity of the
courtesy extended our young constructors
when they can receive equally good train
ing at home.
A far more interesting suggestion is
that the Britiush naval authorities have
become nettled over the success of the
American constructors at Greenwich in
taking prizes over the heads of the Brit
ish students. Nearly every year a member
of the naval construction corps of the
United States has taken either first or
econd prize, sometimes both these prizes
are secured by young Americans

VICTORY FOR THE CITY,
Judge SeaWeIl Declares That
the Dupont-Street Taxes
Are Legal.
The Property-Holders' Suits to Re-
cover 100000 In Taxes
at an End.

The famous Dupont-street suits, ex-
tending back for several years and involv-
ing about 81, 600 in taxes, were ended
by Judge Seawell yesterday, The de-
murrer of the City to the suit of each
property holder was sustained which
means that unless reversal is obtained
in the Supreme Court the taxes levied for
improvements of the street are valid.
The plaintiffs in the suits thrown out OF
court on the demurrer are Bartholomew
Welsh, Alice P. Sullivan, the Luning
Company, James d. Phelan, ]. n. G.
Hunter, Joseph M. Macdonough, Cornelia
B. Stanley, Fleet F. Strother, A. G. Freese
Gas an administrator, Andrew M. Davis,
Isabella Levy, Albert Pissis, D. M.
Richards.
These had paid the taxes year after
year under protest, the money amounting
to 81, 100000 or more. and they sued for re-
covery. A similar suit was that brought
by b. +. Easterbrook, and one opinion is
made to apply to all the cases. In this
opinion Judge Seawell says:
This is an action to recover the amount OF
certain Dupont-street taxes for the years 1889,
1890, 1891, 1892 and 1898, alleged in the COM
protest to the Tax Collector of the City and
County of San Francisco.
The action is brought under section 1919 OF
the Political Code (Statutes of 1898, D. 32),
which provides that at any time after the
duplicate assessment-book has been received
