SHOT IN THE ABDOMEN,
Chester E. Stedman, Fifteen Years Old
 Accidentally Injured.

If Chester B. Stedman, fifteen-year- old colored lad, living at East Hamp- ton, survives a bullet wound which he received yesterday, he will undoubtedly remember the opening day of the game season this year.
 Young Stedman, in company with a party of five, was out in the woods near Middletown yesterday afternoon hunting sqiurrels. Herbert w. Hitch cock, a white boy and Stedman were on opposite sides of tree and for some unaccountable reason the latter stepped out from the tree just at the instant that Hitchcock fired at a squirrel
 The weapon was a 32-calibre and the bullet entered the left side at the base of the abdomen near the groin. Dr. Fields, Middletown physician. was hastily summoned, but was unable to locate the bullet.
 The New Haven hospital was notified and the ambulance corps met the nine o'clock train on the Air Line and took the injured boy to the hospital The hospital doctors went to work probing for the bullet. It is feared that the lower intestine is injured. Stedman's condition is considered serious.
 No blame whatever attaches to Hitch. cock. as the shooting was purely acci dental

ITiLY'S GREAT BAND.
Its First Concert in New York an Unquali
 fled Success.

New York, Oct. 15.-Italys crack band, Banda Rossa, appeared first in America at the Metropolitan opera house tonight. An enthusiastic au- dience greted the new corners. Eu genie Sorrentino, the conductor, is an artist of musical instinct. The first number was the William Teil overture Better than Gilmore's at any time; more spirit, and better training than Sousa's." These and like comments were made on every hand as the ap- piause followed 8 grand rendering of the Mefstopele finale.
 Iii this the spirit, the fire fthe band massed musicians of this kind has not been witnessed here. The parts, group ings and single instruments responded as though to the touch of keys. Heard broadly the effect was that of an or gan.
 A notable feature was Chinese gong which in climaxes, furnished remark able background. Conductor Sorrenti- no is a personal friend of Mascagni, and he led the band through the pre- Jude and duet from Mascagnis Cav alleria Rusticana. The delicate, intel ligent rendering of this gratified the au- dience and confirmed already favorable conclusions as to the quality, skill and success of Banda Rossa.

FIRST LIBER1Y FLAG.
Dedication of the Place Where 1t Was First Thown to the Breeze in Massachusetts.


 Taunton, Mass, Oct. 15.--In the pres ence of gathering of nearly 5000 peo- pie this afternoon an immense granite boulder, appropriately inscribed, was dedicated by Governor Wolcott and members of the Old Colony commis- sion. It marks the spot where, in Oc- tober 1774, nearly two years before the declaration of independence, was raised the first liberty flag and pole in the col ony. The flag bore the words Liberty and Union," and since has been known as the Red flag of Taunton, and on the same spot, on October "A, 17S6, David Cobb, in command of 400 militiamen and volunteers, subdued a body of in- surgents in Shea's rebellion, which had gathered to prevent the session of the supreme judicial court in Taunton and to siege it's papers. This event put an end to the rebellion.
 The exercises began with an invoca- tion by Rev. John R. Forbes. He was followed by Judge Edmund H. Bennett, who delivered sketch of the historical events thus commemorated. Vernon Briggs of Boston presented the memo- rial to the commonwealth and Governor Wolcott accepted in a brief but elo- quent speech. The governor was fol- lowed by Walter c. Baylies, who ac- cepted the tablet in behalf of the citi- zens of Taunton.
 The exercises closed with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.

ACCUSED oF PAKRIoiDE.
Eli Shaw Arrested for the Murder of His
 Mother and His Grandmother.

Camden, N. J., Oct. 15.-Elf Shaw was
 arrested this forenoon and formally
 charged with the murder of his mother,
 Mrs. Shaw, and grandmother, Mrs.
 Zane, which occurred in this city Tues-
 day morning. The arrest was based on
 newly discovered evidence, including
 the finding of a revolver with two
 empty chambers, which had been thrown into the chimney. The police
 also upon close examination of the floor
 found several portions of clothing com
 taing bloody spots. Shaw was to have
 been married tomorrow.
 Chief of Police Dodd charged him with the crime and showed him the
 revolver. Shaw protested his inno-
 cence and in answer to the question as to the ownership of the revolver,
 said it belonged to him. He was then told of the blood spots on the floor of his room. He grew pale and conn., menced to talk incoherantly.
 Prosecutor Jenkins rigidly cross-ex-
 amined Shaw for three hours. When he left Shaw's cell he stated he felt sure that he had the right man. The
 motive for the crime, he said, was
 doubtless desire on the part of Shaw
 to inherit the property belonging to his | mother and grandmother in order to
 be married His salary was small and
 he had made arrangements to rent an expensive house on his marriage. The prosecutor said that he had a large
 amount of evidence in his possession l 1,s iy, hn1i the revolver had been thrown into the chimney by Shaw. N It is now believed that the murders were committed two or three hours be- fore Shaw gave the alarm. Since the murder Shaw has persistently stated that the crime was committed by burg lars. He says he was awakened early on the morning of the murder by a noise down stairs and went to the sec- ond floor to investigate. His mother followed him and pushed ahead to see what the matter was. He said he heard a pistol shot and saw his mother fall. In the back room he says he saw
 the forms of two. He then gave the
 alarm and when the police arrived the
 body of his grandmother was found
 sitting in a. chair in the front room.

LAST WORDS FOR LUETGERT
Ex-JUDGE TINCEN rps CLOSING .aP-
 PEAL TO THE JURY,

Asks Them if Any of Them Can Say with-
 out Doubt That Mrs. Luetgert is Dead
 If They Can Not, Then the Prisoner
 Should be eAcquitted-Hundreds Unable
 to Get Into the Court Room.
 Chicago, Oct. 15.-A large crowd of men and women sat and sweltered as they listened to the closing argument of ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the defence in the Luetgert trial. The crush of humanity was terrific A hun dred times the number of people the court room would accommodate clam ored for admittance. More than half the number of the crowd that pushed. pulled and otherwise sought admission was composed of women. They came attired in matinee costumes and when their fans were put in operation the court room was a fiuttering sea of many hued waves.
 Luetgert came into court much im- proved in personal appearance, owing to a visit to the jail barber shop. He greeted his son Arnold and s. R. Charles, his business partner, with hearty handshakes. Then he turned and faced the large crowd present. Ex-Judge Vincent, fresh and confi- dent in physical appearance, and in good voice, resumed his argument Irvb 1on Jof+ ,fP Jox T had intended reading to you some ten or twelve cases on circumstantial evidence" he said, facing the jury, "but owing to the oppressive heat and in deference to the wishes and sugges- tions of the court, shall curtail my readings considerably. Before enter
 into further discussion of the evidence
 in this case shall read to you two or three cases of interest"
 He then read from law books defini- tions of circumstantial evidence and the weight that was due and should be at tached to such evidence.
 q will not say that circumstantia1 evidence does not sometimes point to guilt" he observed, but will say and affirm with emphatic warning to you that condemning to death a human be- ing on purely circumstantial evidence is dangerous proceeding. Can any of you in the jury box say that Mrs. Luetgert will not return before have ceased this argument? Can you say she will not come back next week, next month, next year, or in the dim future? Unless you can, reasonable doubt ex- ists in your mind and you must give this prisoner the benefit of it."
 He then took up the evidence in the case and discussedsiit at length. He denfended William Charles, Luetgert's partner, whose evidence was impeach- ed. The bone experts were discussed and those of the prosecution were ridi- culed, while the experts of the defence were extoled to the stars.

VERDICT AGAINST CONSOLID4pED. Michael E. McGarrallan Awarded Dam-

Boston, Oct. 15.-A verdict of SIP, 800 for the plaintiff was returned this af- ternoon by jury in the superior court in the case of Michael B. Nc Garrahan vs. the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. The plain tiff sought to recover s25, 900 damages for injuries received on May ', 1896. while a passenger on one of the defen- dant's trains. It appears from the tes- timony offered at the trial that the train on which he was riding was de- railed at Park Square station and that he was thrown out of window. He sustained severe injuries.

CAMPAIGN IN MISSLC
Republicans Hold Il Big Rally in Boston
 Governor and Both Senators Speak.

Boston, Oct. 15.-The republican cam
 paign in this state was formally opened tonight with grand ratification meet ing in Music hall, at which Governor Wolcott and the two Massachusetts senators, Hoar and Lodge, with Speak CT Bates of the state house of repre-
 sentatives spoke to a gathering of par ty supporters that completely filled the hall. Enthusiasm ran nigh throughout the evening and Governor Wolcott in particular received a rousing welcome. Colonel Goetting of Springfield, chair
 man of the republican state committee called to order at 7:30 and in a few words introduced Speaker Bates as the presiding officer of the meeting. He spoke for half an hour. At the conciu- sion of his speech, Governor Wolcott was introduced amid widest enthusi-
 asm He said, in part:
 This year the election will be as im- portant as every election in the old commonwealth of Massachusetts
 Moreover as has been already hinted
 we this year face a united party of op- pOolllcil. FIJI tliiS iNStt'oh tiiNiS i' reason to be ready to meet them. The republicans of this commonwealth this year should gird up their loins to meet united opposition. The orderly, just
 progressive, control of the affairs of this commonwealth for which we are indebted to the republican party, is before the eyes of all it's citizens. Pass fair judgment upon it and answer whether or not the people of this com
 monwealth wish to entrust it's compli- cated affairs to new and untried hands or whether on the whole they are satis- fled with the orderly conduct of the affairs by the republican party"
 Senator Hoar of Worcester followed the governor and his speech was keen at all times He paid 9 high tribute
 to Governor Wolcotts first administra- ton of state affairs and in commenting upon his political affiliations, said: He
 did not have to change his coat to show it's silver lining. He did not de-
 nounce the courts of this country, which are the protection and guardians of everything we hold dear in property or in the home and summon to tear them down to an audience which had to be kept from tearing each other to pieces. (ADplause and laughterD
 'rhey tell you that although pros- perity may have come, it did not come quite so quick as we predicted last year. Well, a democratic national ad- ministration is disease that it takes 1 longer to cure than I thought. connot understand what practical bear ing it has on the state election. I think we can trust the supreme court of Mas sachusetts.
 "But the governor has himself struck the keynote of this campaign. He has pointed out to the people the necessity of d. more strict and careful scrutiny and economy in the matter of public expenditure We have no right to leave
 to our children the burden of a public
 debt for expenditures which we make. Debt is weakness, and credit and free dom from debt are strength. Now, 3s the governor has well intimated to us, i it is not for Massachusetts to commit
 the mistake"
