ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING
Beautiful Boston Woman MysteriousIy
Assaulted.

Boston, Aug. 4.-Mrs. Charles S. Cay,
living at 112 Pearl street, left home
about o'clock tonight to visit friends
on Massachusetts avenue and half an
hour later was found by two young
men lying unconscious on the sidewalk
on Ellery street with a bad wound on
her head. Beside her lay handker-
chief, which is believed to have been
used by her assailants in an attempt
to chloroform her.
She was removed to the hospital,
where later she regained consciousness
although she was hysterical Mrs. Gay,
who is about nineteen and handsome,
says that while passing through
Green street, wagon came up and
two men jumped out.
One asked her to ride with them, and
as she screamed and started to run
they seized her, one man placing a
handkerchief to her face, while the
other tied another around her neck
She then lost consciousness for time,
but recovered and jumped from the
carriage as it was being driven rapidly
through Ellery street. Her head struck
the sidewalk and she again lost her
senses and knew nothing more till she
found herself in the hospital.
1t Is feared that in addition to the
bad wound on the head she may be
hurt internally. Mr.. Gay is nearly
frantic over the affair. He thinks he
knows the men, and says they have
before endeavored to carry off Mrs.

New London harbor presented a
fairy-like scene last evening, the yachts
Of the New York Yacht club having
made this harbor yesterday afternoon
after successful run from Hunting
ton, Long Island. During the evening
the display of electric and other lights
from the many yachts, which were
floating at anchor in the beautiful bay
at the mouth Of the Thames, presented
sight which well repaid the crowd
which was drawn to the vicinity The
Pequot house was gaily Illuminated,
and an excellent orchestra furnished
music for those who cared to dance on
shore as well as on the wave. From
shore to shore the scene presented was
as though the starry heavens had drop
ped low over the bay for the occasion
and were doing their best to render the
occasion a memorable one. Of the
racing yachts the Colonia went to the
front and dropped anchor long in ad-
vance of all her. competitors.

Parmelee. Of the New Haven Yacht
club, also a member of the New York
Yacht club, Joined the fleet at New

Says Silver Movement is Not Confined to
Party Lines.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. Among Mr..
Bryan's callers to-day was George w.
Thompson of Tacoma, national COM
mitteeman of the silver party Mr..
Thompson has no doubt that the state
will cast her vote for Bryan and free
silver Mr.. Bryan has sent the follow
ing to J. C. Harmony, secretary of the
Bryan club at Canton, o.:
My Dear Sir:
81 am in receipt of your message con-
veying greetings from the members of
your club and beg you to assure them
of my hearty appreciation of their sup
port The fact that those of your citi-
zens who believe that the United States
is strong enough to have financial
policy of its own are willing to array
themselves against a townsman of high
character and great personal worth in
dicates the depth of their convictions
Whenever a great issue arises the Am
erican people always prove their inde-
pendence and moral courage, charac-
tristics without which self government
is impossible. 1t gratifies me to know
that the silver sentiment in it's growth
is disregarding party lines

Militia Holds Strikers in Restraint-Afra
Look Ominous.

Cleveland, Aug A ready-f for an
the vicinity of the Brown hoist works
this morning. There was peace, but it
was an armed peace, and both sides
knew that small spark could change
peace to war. AT Z a. m. the time for
the commencement of work at the
Brown works, $50 men had entered the
various shops. They We're all non-un-
ionists, and the union men claimed
that no one of their number had de-
serted the cause.
On every street within radius of
nearly a mile of the plant both soldiers
and locked-out men patrolled the side
walks. Many of the soldiers We're
doubly armed, wearing belts and re-
volvers as well as carrying guns. A
number of locked out men also carried
guns.
1t was given out by the physicians
at st. Clair hospital this morning that
Prinz, the man who was shot near the
Brown works Saturday, was still in a
critical condition, and that his chances
for recovery were about one in a thou
sand
Ever since the shooting of Prinz
there have been ominus mutterings by
the men as to what they will do should
Prinz die. A secret committee of the
locked-out men has been at work for
several days investigating the shooting
and trying to fix the blame for it. The
committee reported to-day that, to the
best of its knowledge, a man named
Harris, first name unknown, living on
the west side, fired the shots which
pierced Prinzs body.
Among the many rumors in connec-
ton with the sympathetic strike talk,
which were circulated among union
men to-day, was one to the effect that
the members of the Street Railway EN-
ployes union of the city were ready to
quit work on a moments notice when
requested to do so by the Central Labor
union. The Street Railway union is one
of the strongest in the city, and in
cludes nearly every street railway en-
ployee. If this rumor is correct, the or
dering of general sympathetic strike
might include the tieing up OF every
street railway line in the city.

was convicted and fined. He offered
resistance when arrested and drew a
revolver on the officer. Bitcherly es-

Fields Legacy.
Middletown, Aug 4.-The State hospi-
tai for the Insane is erecting crema-
tory between the hospital and the VAL
ley railroad. Many unclaimed bodies
Of deceased patients will be cremated
hereafter instead of buried in the hos
pital cemetery.
The common council last night au-
thorized a committee to bring suit
against the town regarding the Belio
smallpox bills. When the disease was
over the town claimed that the quaran-
tined parties were not paupers and the
town was not responsible as they re-
sided in the city limits. This the city
denied claiming that under a dual gov
ernment the town has precedence and
should pay. Hence this suit to deter
mine the towns responsibility
The town of Haddam is likely to
have more or less trouble over it's re-
cent vote which accepted a legacy Of
$4,000 from David Dudley Field for the
care Of Field park in Haddam and then
voted to use the same to pay town or
ders. David and his brother Stephen
j. laid out in Haddam their birthplace,
In 1878, two parks as memorials to their
parents and an association was formed
to care for them, the one In the center
containing fifteen acres and the other
three acres. The town did vote an an
nual appropriation Of $3.50 when it took
the money for orders, but the associa-
tion claims that the legacy is perverted
from it's intended use and will bring
suit to recover the funds.

ABUsE or CRAZY SHIPMENTS.
Startling Information Given the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

ihAOFInuIlOn SlNen Lne inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Chicago, Aug. 4.-The interstate COM
merce commission met in the federal
court room this morning to investigate
the abuse of grain shipments Nearly
every road in the western territory was
represented by counsel and freight
managers. Chairman Morrison was
assisted by Commissioners Yeomans,
Clements and Knapp and by special
counsel, w. A. Day of Washington.
Over a month ago the commission sent
out a.circular letter to the railroads re-
questing Information on the reported
violation of laws by discriminating in
the rates.
The Brown decision of the supreme
court compelling railroads to testify to
violation of the law in which they par
ticipated had its expected effect In get
ting truthful presentation of the sub
ject and a unanimous admission of
guilt in discriminating in rates. With
these answers before 1t the commission
opened it's work this morning. w. N.
Biddle, traffic manager of the Santa Fe
was the first witness.
For while the commission was get
ting rather startling information. Mr.
Biddle even amplified upon the method
of discrimination in rates as exhibited
in his answer to the circular of the
commission, and which was made the
basis of his examination. After he had
made all the admissions he informed
the committee that his road and all
other roads had abandoned the scheme
on July and We're now carrying grain
at a flat rate, whether originating in
Kansas City or elsewhere, and without
respect to its ultimate destination.

BOY Fatality INJURED.
Young KIem's Skull Fractured by Dix
we'll Avenue Car.

Young KIem's Skull Fractured by q Dix
well Avenue Car.
George KLEIN, the eight-year-old SON
Of John J. KLEIN Of 81 Dixwell avenue,
was seriously injured yesterday after
noon about o'clock by electric car No.
5S Of the Dixwell avenue line.
DR.. II. A. Elcock, who was near the
scene of the accident when 1t occurred,
took the boy to the Office of DR.. George
F. Converse on Dixwell avenue. It
was found upon examination that the
boys head was severely cut, and there
were Indications of fracture Of the
skull. When the wounds had been
dressed the boy was sent to the hospi-
tai.
Klen1's condition was found to be ex-
tremely critical at the hospital. Two
severe fractures of the skull had been
sustained, in addition to the scalp
wound, which laid the whole of the
skull, from the crown to the frontal
bone, almost as bare as If it had been
done with a scalping knife.
There was also concussion of the
brain. Everything was done to give
relief to the sufferer but it was of no
avail. The boy died at / o'clock this
morning.
The accident seemed to be unavoid-
able and the. result of habit the
young boy had in common with his as
sociates of jumping upon the steps of
the ice wagon and getting small pieces
of ice
Young KLEIN had just got down from
the step of one of the Hygeia lee
company's wagons, when he saw two
horse team about to run over him. He
turned out to avoid this team and not
seeing the electric car ran into it.
The boy was hurled to the side or
the street by the force of the collision
The car was in charge of Conductor
Julius Pierson. Motorman Wallace
Root could not see the boy until the
car had struck him as the team hid
him from view. Several citizens who
saw the accident were of the opinion
that the men in charge of the car
were in no wise to blame for the sad
occurrence.

Offices, Washington.

Washington, Aug 4.-Heretofore per-
sons carried on the pay rolls of the
treasury as laborers, have done duty as
clerks and some clerks have done duty
in capacities not included in the classi-

the classified service, to perform the
duties of offices of places which are in
the classified service, and not to permit
employees who are in the classified SER
vice to perform the duties of offices or
