The first stage was stopped by the robbers in a narrow defile and the passengers, two men and a wo- man, were compelled to dismount and hold up their hands while searched. The robbers secured $75.
 Fifteen minutes later the second stage, the regular four-horse vehicle. came along and the driver was called ing the attempt of the driver to pull up fast enough, shot one of the lead- CTS and killed one of the pole horses. The other two animals dragged the coach and their dead companions sev., eral hundred yards. Meantime thd. robbers fired another shot with a rifle into the hood of the stage. The bullet struck one man, a passenger. in the arm and passed into the side Of another man who sat beside him. The only other passenger, a woman, escaped injury.

 Door Was Not Opened.

 He says when he went to the house on the night of the murder he asked that the door be opened, which was not done, and he became enraged and drew his pistol, firing through the window, not aiming at any one, and not intending to kill any one; that he had nothing against those who were in the room and did not know who they were. He seems greatly penitent, and will make a full confession at the trial, no matter what the consequences are

THE K1LLINGwoRTH MYSTERY.
Sachs Lawyers on the Poison Story
 Intention of Defense.

Middletown, Conn, Sept. 3O.-Law- yers P. W. Chase of New Haven and Arthur B. Calef of this city, counsel for Sachs, admitted today that they had known for some time of the at tempt to poison MT. and Mrs. B. L.. Hotchkiss of Killingworth last July. MT. Chase said they had suppressed the story after they had found out about it for reasons which they in- tended to show during the murder trial. He thinks they can show that Sachs was not at the house at that time. On the other hand, it may possibly prove good piece of evil dence for them.
 The publication of this story has also brought to light the fact that on August F Hotchkiss was again taken Ill, and similar symptoms of strych- nina poisoning were observed by Dr. Markham. Rumors were prevalent today that there were some other days when he was suspiciously ill The matter is being investigated carefully, and further developments are ex- pected

 Apartment House Fire.

A dozen families, including more than a score of women and children, were com pelled to f1ee to the street in scant attire and stand in the rain until neighbors extended hospitality.
 The fire broke out in the apartment house known as the Edinboro, un One Hundred and Third street. How the fire started is rot known. A number of prominent stock brokers live there with their families, and shortly after midnight nephew of Henry Clews discovered a blaze in the kitchen of his apartment.

He was about to walk down stairs and go home, when he heard the alarm given by MT. Clews. He started the elevator going again. At every floor he stopped and yelled "Firen' and in response twenty-six families, mace up of women, children and few men, came rushing out Hanley, the elevator boy, ran his car to the top and then began to fill it with panic stricken tenants.

What May Follow the Fall Of
 the Late Ministry
A CHANGE OR AN EXEPlDI1NT
The Former the lnm mediate
 Freedom of Cuba.
The Latter Delay Until the Meet ing of the Cortes Which May Re- suit In No Change of Policy At All.

Washington. Sept 30. = Minister Woodford has not yet informed the state department of the cabinet change in Spain. The main point of interest here at present is the composition of the new cabinet, and it is expected that Mr. Woodford will not neglect to cable the earliest information pos sible.
 Diplomats familiar with Spanish pol itics say that circumstances point to one of two results, namely: The com plete collapse of the conservative re- gime, which has been responsible for the Cuban policy, and its succession by a liberal cabinet with pacific and conciliatory tendencies toward Cuba; or else a traditional ministry with Azcarraga again at the head as a tenn porary expedient to tide over affairs until the cortes can meet, when a permanent and stable ministry can be formed.
 The feeling that Sagasta is to be the coming premier either at once or after the transitory ministry retires, leads to many favorable comments on his ability by those who know him personally. A leading American dip lomat, one who has been conspicuous in Spanish-American affairs, said to- day that Sagasta's assumption of of flee undoubtedly would have an i'm mediate effect upon the Cuban ques- ton and the relations between the Unital States and Spain.
