A SON SUSPECTED.
A New York Merchant Found Danger
ously Shot

New York, Sept. 19.-Arnold Flesch
of the cloak manufacturing firm OF
Bernard Pasternak & Co., is in hos
pital with three pistol shot wounds,
and his son, William B. Flesch, is in
custody on suspicion of having at
tempted to take his fathers life. The
shooting occurred in the apartments of
the elder Flesch. in the Hotel Peteler.
He lived there alone, his wife having
died three years ago. The son, who
was a frequent visitor, went to his
fathers rooms about midnight and at
4 o'clock four pistol shots were heard
fired in the Flesch apartments in
quick succession. When the room was
entered the elder Flesch was found
seemingly dazed by his wounds, and
only able to say to those who ques-
toned him: Il guess it is about fam
lily troubles"
One pistol ball had entered his breast
near the heart, another had struck the
right wrist and the third had passed
through the left forearm At first. it
was thought that Flesch had attempted
suicide, but the existence of the
wounds in the right wrist and the left
arm upset that theory. Then, it was

did not think it more important to
God, home and country to have free
humanity than to have free gold or
free silver. This year. he said, there
can be no lodging. We must vote
for righteousness or against it. What
do the older parties offer US? Every
thing they extend to US is based on
hope and expectation. One party
says give US silver and all will De
we'll How do we know? Another
says sit still, for to go further will
only be worse" But there is no
doubt as to the result if our policy
should be adopted. Blaine wanted
reciprocity; We need greater export
trade; but worse than that we need to
have the millions of liquor-spent
money turned into the homes and
channels of commerce for we are not
troubled with overproduction so
much as with underconsumption. Shut
off this drain feom the families and
turn it into the channels of business,
and see how homes and churches and
schools will flourish and happiness
come to all. The real oppression of
labor is the saloon. That alone is
robbing labor of its just reward. The
old parties know this and would like
to change things but they know that
it means political suicide to commit
themselves against the saloon. We
weigh against finance 100000 souls for
four years. Which shall We take, the
uncertainties of the financial systems
or 800, 900 souls lost? By the cOmpO-
sition of congress there can be no ma
ton and the saloon evil will go from
bad to worse. But they tell us we
can't enforce prohibitory law, though
we have Theodore Roosevelt's record
behind us who in three weeks made
5000 saloOnkeepers in New York bow
their knee to him and close their shops
on Sunday. Prohibitory laws can be
enforced if officials wish to enforce
them. Sympathy expressed but power
Withheld when possessed is curse
instead of a blessing. If we want
Gods blessing upon our country we
can only get it by standing by His
cause.
At the conclusion of the speech max
ing the candidates shook hands with
the people.
Mr.. lowering left on the 10:45 last
night train for the north. When
asked about the strength of his parry
he said that they expected to poll over
27S,000 votes, Notwithstanding the
fact that the silver issue had drawn
some of the old members from their
ranks.
Mr.. lowering is a Baltimore coffee
merchant, very wealthy and favors the
gold standard.

New York, Sept. 22.-Steve O'Don-
nell defeated Frank Slavin in the fifth
round at the Empire club in Maspeth.
L. l., last night. They met for a
twenty-round bout. Slayin was a 2 to
1 favorite at the first but on a rumol
that he had injured himself while
punching the bag these odds dropped
and there was fair betting at Z to 5 in
his favor. When the men entered the
ring both looked to be in good condi-
ton and each weighed about 1872
pounds. In the first round O'Donnell
assumed the aggressive and landed his
left twice in quick succession on his
opponents face. Then they exchanged
lefts on the face and in breaking away
O'Donnell hit Slavin a hard punch on
the back which staggered him. O'Don-
nell haG the best Of the round at the
call of time. In the second round
both men fought rapidly exchanging
punches on the head and body. \
hard right from O'Donnell made the
blood flow from Slavin's nose. In this
round several fierce blows were struck.
The men clinched and wnep they
broke ODonneI came back quickly
with a straight left on the face with
out a return. In the fourth Slayin
went at ODonnell in a wilG fashion
and the fighting was of the give-and-
take order. O'Dcnneu smashed Slav-
in right and left and the bell just
saved the latter from Knockout. In
the fifth O'DonneH went at his oppon-
cnt in a slam-bang fashion, raining
blows on his head aEI neck Slavin
fed painfully around the ring. O'Don-
nell soon had Slavin's face pounded
into jelly. Two heavy rights on the
head and a left On the reck sent Slav-
in against the ropes in a helpless con-
dition and then the referee pulled the
men apart and stopped the contest.
Referee Hurst awarded the fight TO
O'Donnell.

The prince of Monaco, navigating in
his yacht in the vicinity of the Azores,
has discovered a sandbank 90 kilo-
meters south of the archipelago, some
50 kilometers in circumference and
with two eliminating points respec-
lively at rs and 100 meters depth
whereas hitherto it has been supposed
that the Atlantic was in all that re-
gion between 1000 and 5000 meters
deep. Fish are very abundant on this
great bank. One would suppose that
the Azores fishermen, who have gone
far away to exercise their calling, must
have found the bank long ago, but it
seems that the prince was the first dis
coverer, last July; since then boats
have been fitted out to fish in this new
field. The prince names the bank the
Princess Alice, after his yacht.
