at his residence, 676 Selby avenue, shortly
after IL o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
deceased had gone into the bathroom, when
the sound Of falling body few minutes
later attracted the attention of his wife
Rushing to the bathroom, Mrs. Kiel found
the door locked but could plainly hear her
husbands heavy breathing. With the aid Of
a stove poker the frightened wife soon forced
open the door and found Mr.. Kiel stretched
upon the floor, unconscious. Mrs. Kiel ran

COURT SAYS THE MINNEAPOLIS At
TORNEY CANNOT SHIELD
HIMSELF
FOR WRONGS ON MISS HAYES
ON THE CLAIM THAT HE WAS THE
AGENT OF MRS. WAD-
LEIGH.
When He Took Possession of the
Typewriter's VaIuables, Says
the Court.

Helen M. Hayes seems to have little the
best of it in her suit to recover damages from
Lizzie B. Wadleigh and Attorney M. L. Cor
many, on account of the seizure of lot of
diamonds and other personal property Mrs.
Wadleigh claims her husband had given Miss
Hayes. Judge Kelly yesterday filed order
vacating the order requiring plaintiff to show
cause why the default entered in the case
should not be opened and defendants permitted
to answer. The order denies relief demanded.
In his memorandum Judge Kelly says:
THE afidavits and other statements under
oath made by each of these defendants and
submitted in opposition to this motion to
open default show that neither defendant has
any defense to this action on its merits. They
show the plaintiff had lawful possession of all
the goods, and that neither defendant ever
had or has now any right to possession of one
of the articles. Defendant Germany, while
claiming to be acting for the defendant Wad-
leigh, as far as the papers disclose, acted with
full knowledge that defendant Wadleigh had
no title to the property, and no right to the
possession. He can not, under any circum-
stances, shield himself for the wrongs that he
committed, if any, by claiming he was the
agent of the other defendant

DISTINCTLY PRETTY
Are the TatIOr-Made Gowns Being
Put Forth.

Special Correspondence to the Globe
NEW YORK, April 16-In spite of all that
has been said to the contrary the tailor-made
gown shows no sign Of disappearing; indeed, it
has become one of the necessities of present
day wear Braiding is very much used for
trimming these very smart gowns. One of the
most serviceable and economical garments I
nave had the pleasure of seeing so far this
season, for either town or country wear, was
reliable cloth gown at Redferns smart
enough for morning wear, yet sufficiently sub
stantial for all weather. This particular de-
sign was made in brownish tweed, with a
plastron of a bright -colored cloth. The trim
ming was effected by piping the seams and
covering the collar with myrtle velvet. The
cut of the sleeves, plastron and skirt were all
of the newest order. Another very charming
dress | selected for description at this same
establishment was made in mouse green SERGE
braided with black. The bodice had a very
full basque and enclosed vest of reseda cloth
with which is yoke, and softly folded COL
lar OF geranium velvet Just suspicion of
the velvet also was introduced into the sides
of the vest and sleeves. The general effect was
altogether very attractive. Mohar and kim
dred stuffs are predicted to be the vogue for
lighter dresses during the late spring and
early summer. With the advent of the full
sleeves, the Jacket will be sure to regain
its place as the most useful of all outdoor
garments Rerferns newest Jackets are all
very short and jaunty. Many are double
breasted, setting perfectly straight in front
while the back and sides are tight-ftting with
large collars and revers cut in all sorts Of
new ways. Two exceedingly pretty and lady
like gowns showing the slightly decreased
skirts and the very newest sleeve are selected
for our illustrations this week.

WATER SNAKES EAT TROUT.
Mink, Too, Help in the Extermina-
tiOn of the SpeckIed Reaut;cs

According to experts. anglers for speckled
trout will be disappointed to learn that the
hunt Tor the gamy fish in Orange and SulIi-
van and adjacent counties in New York state.
sussex county in New Jersey, and Pike coun-
ty IN pennsylvania, will not be a profitable
undertaking the coming season. Manv streams
were dried up last summer and millions of
small fry were killed. says the New York
World.
Only fish in brooks supplied with living
springs survived. Larger streams running
into the Delaware or Neverslnk rivers al
lowed tull-grown trout to return to those
waters for safety.
Hundreds of trout ranging from ono IN
three inches long, were seen last fall in pools
dead. There was no water running and the
Try had lodged in this muddy pool and died
from want of fresh water and their crowded
condition.
The water snake, mink and water rat have
Killed thousands. The owner of a fine trout
stream in Sullivan county says that when the
other brooks in his vicinity had dried last
fall he began to notice unusual numbers of
water snakes and mink about his brookway.
which is fed by several big springs He dis
covered many half-eaten trout along its banks
Watching, he saw snakes catch the fish, bring
ing them ashore to devour them
The following morning he declares he and
his boys killed thirty-seven water snakes
every one of which, when cut open. had a
trout all the way from five to eight inches in
length IN its stomach. They also killed
twelve mink the same week, something that
has not been done on his place before in
twenty-five years.
jacob Bauer, the restaurateur at the Erie
depot at Port Jervis, states that mink and
water snakes played havoc with the trout In
his breeding ponds, eighteen miles west of
this place. late last fall. Sixteen minks and
over 200 water snakes were killed.
Trout fishing will be poor, the experts say
1t cannot be otherwise under the circum-
stances. What is needed is more hatcheries
where fish capable of taking care of them
selves can be transferred from the hatchery
to the brook without long-distance travelling
fish that are from three to FIVE inches in
length, not little fry just fit for every redfin
in the brook.
II every country had its hatchery for in
land fish there is little doubt it is claimed
that there would be fish enough to replenish
the streams.

PATRICK KELLY,S MIND.
Judge Nelson Thinks 1t Subject to
State Courts.

The application for a writ of habeas corpus
for the release of Patrick Kelly from the In
sane asylum came up for hearing before judge
Nelson in the United States district court yes
terday, but was not heard on its merits, the
only question raised being that of jurisdiction
Kelly has been in the hospital three years now
and he and his attorney claim he is not, and
has not been, insane, but that he was sent to
the hospital because his family wanted to get
rid of him and have access to his wealth.
Judge Nelson intimated that it was a subject
with which the state courts are amply able to
DEAL and, therefore, he did not think the
United States court should interfere. But he
reserved his decision.

Hobart and the Conl Trust.

Republican headquarters in New York
gave out the following last night:
"a report has recently1been circulated in
the west to the effect that Mr.. Hobart, the
republican candidate. for Vice President,
Is president of the hard coal trust, which
1t is alleged has advanced the price of
coal. When Mr. Hobarts attention was
called to this report, he said that while he
did not make it pFactice to deny CAM
paign rumors he felt that inasmuch as this
matter had been circulated through the
west it was proper tp make a statement,
the substance of which is as follows:
Last December the trunk line railroads
located east of the Mississippi were called
upon under an agreQmeAt known the
Joint Traffic Association to select three
arbitrators to arbitrate the differences
which might arise between these railroads.
only trunk lines were INCLUDED in this ar
bitration. Coal roads were not included,
and the matters submitted to arbitration
had nothing to DO with coal, coal produc-
ton. coal tonnage or the price of coal in
ary manner form or shape whatever,
either directly or indirectly. The selection
of Mr. Hobart as a judge between these
railroads was made because he had no In
terest therein in any form.
"Mr. Hobart also distinctly stated tina,
he has no connection, direct or indirect
with any such coal trust. He does not
| know of the existence of any such trus,
except as he has seen statements in the
EeWspal ers.
