He could see the outlines Of q big outward
bound steamer that had stopped aud was
backing of, and directly IN her course was a
sinking mud scow.
After ,a.delay of about fifteen minutes the
steamer proceeded down the bay.
The collision was somewhat of n mystery
and the first news of il was brought TO the
city by Mr.. Bullock.
Ii had not been reported at the custom
house, at the Tow Boat Company's office, nor
at the office of the shipping commissioner.
This forenoon Captain Frank sutton of the
tug Gaspee said that when he went down last
night several of the government Scows were at
their moorings Oft Pomham, and that they
were not lighted.
One OF them had sunk TO the waters edge.
This foreaoon the sunkcn scow was at the
same place but the rest of the bunch had

FOUR DOLLARS A WEEK
Court 0rlers Mr.. Blanchard to Pay
That Amount 10 HIS Wife.

Though the case Of Clara J. Blanchard
VS. James A. Blanchard, which was be-
fore the Appellate Court today, is only u
simple divorce proceeding, there were
complications about Waking an allow
ance in the casa for the support Of the
wife There was no question made by
the husband that some allowance should
be made to his wife but the size OF the
allowance was the point over which the
difficulty arose
For what Mrs. Blanchard deems good
and sufficient reasons she left her hus.
hand in August last. She testified today
that one of her daughters was sick and
had for several months been unable 10
work and that one OF her sons was in
the hospital She thought 50 week
would be reasonable allowance. from her
husbands salary of s. a day. Mr.
Blanchard, she stated. did not work Sat-
urdays, but that was not altogether his
fault or at least, until very recently. for
his shop was only run five days a week
Mr. Blanchard testified that he was "A
Seventh Day Baptist and so was his wife
and that was the reason why he did not
work ON Saturday. Though even hsd no
50 desired, 10 would not have been pos
sible TO work on the last day Of the week
as business was slack in his shop.
tie testified also that his necessary OK
Tenses week amounted to 81. At
turnev Henry j. Dubois asked Mr.
Blanchard what he did on Saturdays, but
the answers were apparently satisfactory
% the court. Mr.. Blanchard admitted he
owned two lots worth $50 zach.
Attorney Dexter Il. Potter, who repre-
sented MIR. Blanchard, did not make any
argument, bat hs questioned Mrs.
Blanchard with the apparent intention of
showing that two OF her four children
were not quite as sick as she repre-
stntcd. Attorney Dubois argued that
there was no reason why Mr.. Blanchard
should not work six days week ard in
crease his income To SIG a week, and nj
so pay "a counsel fec Of not less than $50.
3 Chief justice announced To the at
tCrneys that he would cor slider the testi-
mony and announce his decision ihs ai-
ternoon an order was entered by his
honor. providing that Mr. Blanchard
should my his wife sra week beginning

Harris of Waltham shot and killed Mrs
George 5. Buffers, at her home here this
noon. He also shot her son, Carleton 4.
Buffers, 20 years OF age twice in the
face, inllicting probably fatal wounds
He then turned the revolver upon himself
innicting n dangerous wound in the fore
head. No motive can be ascribed for the
action.
Harris called at the Buffers home
shortly after IL 80 today, in an intoxicated
condition. He went into the kitchen.
where Mrs. Buffers was engaged in her
household duties. Without moments S
warning he drew his revolver, shooting
her through the left temple.
Her son, hearing the shot, rushed to his
mothers assistance. when the murderer
opened fire on him. shooting Kim twice in
the face. One OF the bullets lodged below
the left eye and the.otber in his check.
Harris Immediately turned the revolver
on himself the bullet entering mis- fore
head. Then the firing caused the neigh
bors To come into the house, where they
found Mrs. Buffers lying dead on the
floor and her son unconscious, while the
murderer was partially unconscious.
Medical assistance was summoned and
young Buffers ana the murderer
were taken TO the hospital, where it is
thought both will die.

Poker Room PrOprietOrS
Ordered to VaCate.
Owner of the Property Issued
Mandate to Lessee.
Another Gambling Den Is Still in
Operation On His Estate.

Some of the landlords Of Johnston who
receive revenue from the profits of the
gambling dens are apparently getting
scared. Within the past week a new
poker room was opened. It was started
in a place at the rear OF Olneyville square
which. il is alleged. is used for Sunday
rum business. Ii is "A sort OF "a baTroom
annex.
The place was let TO the new gam
blers by the persons who hold a lease of It,
On this same estate one of the we'll
known gam bling dens Is established, and
when the owner of the property heard that
his tenant had sublet room for poker
business he, either through fear of draw
ing too much attention TO himself and his
property or at the behest of the gam
bling firm which has been one OF his teu-
ants for "a long tim ordered the young
and independent firm Of poker players TO
vacate.
RUM SELLING STOPPED.
1t is also claimed that the Sunday rum
business which has been carried on at
the same nlace has been discontinued
by orders of tho landlord. in this in
stance as in several others the landlord
has proved himself much more effective
in stopping violations of the law than
the police authorities.
The Anderson urospectnrs continue TO
throw longing looks at Plainiieid street
but thus far they have made no attempt
To open up. The house vacated for their
accomm odation is still dark and silent.
THEY ARE. DISAPPOINTED
Much disappointment is felt in some
quarters because the gamblers have bee II
scared off. Judging from tho mum ber who
aprear interested in this latest gambling
enterprise some very generous promises
must have been made. On the street IL Is
common report that the Anderson party
have been most vigorous in their attempt
TO establish foothold in the town. They
hold the highest price pull on record, lt Is
claimed. According TO the exit ayagant
stories that are ailoat, one would think
tnat they had promised TO transplant to
the town section of the klondike gold
fields and distribute nuggets by the bar
relful among their new-made friends.
Tho now gamblers have received all
sorts of encouragement To go ahead. They
have been told that all tney need Is a
stiff back bone. So long as the other
places are allowed TO remain and carry on
business, they have been assured that the
authorities will not dare 20 interfere with
them.
ONLY BLUFF II Is SAID.
If they stand their ground they will
soon see that the threats which have neen
held over their heads and which have
made them hesitate are all bluff insti-
gated hy the gamblers who at present
hold indisputed sway over this territory.
Neither tho police nor tho mem bers OF
tho triumvirate would care to make much
Of "a fuss for fear Of its proving boone
rang.
