ABOUT FRUIT.

All the fruit that requires pairing
should be put Immediately in very cold
water and allowed to stand few min
utes to prevent its becoming discolored.
When fruit IL very tender and you de-
sire TO keep the shape and color, dip it
quickly into strong lemon juice. This is
much better than using alum. The alum
can scarcely be recommended.

why Duffy Fell Into the Hands of Police.
Capitol Hill No es.

Edward Duffy was arrested by Offichr
Mathewson yesterday afternoon. Edward
has a penchant for playing football, and
he sets the gridiron, SO TO speak, on the
street. The sport is so lively one that
O'Conneli Bros. have a stors near
where Edward liked TO practice for future
college work, and they disliked the idea
of having windows broken, so they
demonstrated with Duffy. He did not
takeathe remonstrance in kindly way
and told the member.of tho firm that al
dressed him that the windows would bs
broken for sure, and not by football
either.
Duffy got lot of stones and began
letting them go at the windows OF
O'Connell Bros store and some glass
was damaged and he fell into the hands
of the law.

Forged Administration Papers.

New York, July 4.-Fannie Belkeiser
alias Davis and Howard, who claimed to
be the wife of Col. W. L. Blanchard of
Leggett, the well known sporting man
was held in $4,000 bail for examination by
Magistrate Deuel. today for examination
Tuesday on the charge of perjury pre-
ferred by Lawyer George A. Smyth
of Boston. The woman is a negress. Sh.
was housekeeper for Blanchard before his
death and was appointed administrator of
his estate after applying to Comm issioner
of Deeds M. E. Duffy on December 8,
1896. AS result of the application of
public administrator, VIM. M. Hoes to
the Surrogate court and the testimony
before ex-Surrogate Rastus S. Ransom,
the courts referee, the letters issued to
her were rev oked last Wednesday as it is for
alleged perjury in swearing to be the wife
of Blanchard in both the original applica-
tion and before the referee that she was
arrested. 1t is said that in her testimony
she claimed to have been married by
Father Geohlan of Monmouth Beach, N.
j., on April &c. 1886. Father Murphy, the
successor of Father Geohlan, testified that
the latter died in his arms on January Is,
1895. The same NJ. E. Duffy who issued
the first letters to her appeared for her
today and was her counsel before the
referee. 1t is said that more arrests will
be made in connection with the case.

ON THE BRINK.
Car Toppled Over on the Edge of the
Bridge.


Boston, July 3.--As the 500 train from
Boston for Roberts, on the Fitchburg
railroad, was crossing the draw bridge
just outside the Union station tonight
the last car but one left the rail from
some unknown cause. AS it did, the for
ward end of the car ran on the stringers
that support the bridge, then the car car
reened and fell over upon it's side upon
the edge of the draw, but most miracu-
lously, did not fall into the water. The
car was crowded with passengers, all of
whom were badly frightened and shaken
up, but as far as known no one was
fatally injured. Mrs. Margaret Hurley
of West Cambridge was severely hurt,
but the nature and extent Of her injuries
could not be learned, as she was soon re-
moved by those in authority and was said
not to be dangerously hurt. An unknown
man was somewhat bruised, and several
others received severe scratches. During
the excitement a young man who alight-
ed from another train to see what was
going on, fell into the water, but was
quickly rescued. The car was consid-
erably damaged. and traffic was interrupt
ed for couple of hours.

Boston, July 3.-"Spike" Sullivan,
the lightweight boxer, had long talk
with DIR. Ordway, the American repre-
sentative of the National Sporting Club
of London yesterday, relative to match
between Pedlar Palmer. and Spikes"
brother Dave. The National club, through
DR.. Ordway, offered purse of $500, pro-
vided Sullivan could rise side stake of
$250O. "Spike" answered that he would
put up the $2500 and that, If Palmer
wished, the stakes could be increased to
$1,000 side, but if the boys boxed for the
larger sum the purse must be at least
$1,000. DIR. Ordway, who sailed for Eng
land this morning, told Sullivan that he
would lay the matter before the club,
and as Palmer is very popular in England
the chances are that the purse will be in
creased to $4,000. If the match is arranged
it will take place in September. The
original plan was to secure Solly Smith,
but as the latter has accepted expense
from the California A. G., for q
meeting with either Johnny Griffin or
Jack MCGOWAN, negotiations were
dropped.

Outlook For Tariff Bill Very
Uncertain.
IMPORTANT MATTERS THREATEN
TO DEVELOP DEBATE.
Monday and Thursday Order in Hou Sc
Will Probably Be Abandoned-TArif
Bill Will Be Sent to Conference as
Soon as 1t Arrives There.

Washington, July 4.-The outlook for
the week in the Senate is quite uncertain.
There is every probability that the tariff
bill will be passed, but whether early or
late in the week is by no means certain.
The various provisions for stamp tax,
for beet sugar bounty and for the sup
preston of trusts threaten to develope
considerable debate, and there is prospect
Mills, Chiffon, Allen and others. Senator
Allison has given notice of an effort to
secure night sessions Monday and Tues
day. The present indications are that
there will be determined effort to force
the committee ON finance to restore the
sugar bounty provision and upon the sue
cess or failure of this effort will probably
depend the length of time yet to be con-
sumed in the.Senate.
When the tariff bill comes over to the
House this week the programme is to
send it Immediately to conference. The
minority will make no opposition to this
if the Republicans will assure them
reasonable time for debate when the
matter is reported back by the conference.
To this the Republican leaders express
their. assent, though no determination has
yet been made of how long reasonable.
time is. Mr.. Bailey thinks three or four
days win be sufficient.
In view of theft that, the bill may re-
turn to the House at any day, the order
tor sessions only on Mondays and Thurs
days will probably be revoked tomorrow
or recess will be taken from day to day
until the bill passes the Senate.
The Republican members of the Senate
committee on finance held session today
and decided to offer no more amendments
to the tariff bill, and also not to reintro-
duce the beet sugar amendment. 1t is
understood, however, that the committee
will make no united determined effort to
prevent the acceptance of the amendment
as offered by Mr.. Allen, but that Repub-
lican Senators will be left to..support it or
not, as they may see fit. The indications
now are that majority Of them will sup
pert the amendment, Notwithstanding
the committees action In withdrawing it,
1t appears that the bounty provision was
authorized by one of the Republican
caucuses, and that many Republican
Senators feel bound on this account to
stand by the provision, even though it be
offered by the opposition. The Democrats,
however, will oppose the amendment de-
terminedly. The situation is full of many
possibilities and the end cannot be pre-
dicted until this question is settled.

THE WOMAN MURDERED.
Police Investigating Mysterious
Death in Greenyille, N. u.
WIDOW FOUND DEAD IN HER
HOME IN THAT TOWN.

Revolver Was BY Her Side But Circum-
stances Tend to Show She Was Muir
dered--Diamond Ring and Gold
Watch Missing-Farm Hand Under
Suspicion.
Greenville, N. H., July AIRS Hattie
f. Woodward, widow about fifty years
of age, was found dead Saturday morning
by Milkman George NJ Batchelder, in
the kitchen of her home, a farm house on
the old Greenville and Milton road, about
two miles from this town. The house is
just over the Wilton line in a sparsely
settled part of the town, and the woman
had probably been lying in the position
in which she was found for at least forty
hours
The body was lying upon the floor, with
bullet wound i'll the throat, while by its
side was a revolver, two chambers of
which were empty The first impression
was that it was case of suicide, but
later Investigations have greatly strength
ened the theory that the woman was
murdered. The Authorities of Greenville
and Wilton were notified as quickly as
possible and at once took steps to ascer-
tain the facts in the case
A careful examination of the premises
disclosed blood spots on the sewing
machine, window curtains and door latch
and it was also discovered that a valuable
diamond ring which she had worn, and
her gold watch, were missing, while her
pocket book had been relieved of its con-
tents. The revolver had been held so close
TO her body that it burned her clothing
and shoulders, and upon the throat were
marks apparently made by an assailant's
thumb. the skin being torn off, while her
chin was also discolored.
Selectmen George NJ Manner and
Treford of Wilton. are firm in their belief
that it is q case of murder and suspicion
falls very strongly upon farm hand who
recently worked on an adjoining farm.
He went away last Thursday, going to
Boston, but returned the same night
The murder, if such.it is, was committed
Thursday evening, and Friday morning
the farm hand again left his employers
with the expressed. intention, it is said,
of going to Newport, R. I. Since that
time he has not been seen and the
authorities are making every possible at
tempt to apprehend him.
