FOWLER CASTLE DEsrRoTED.
The Massive Building Erected by Prof. Fowler
ns \ Mene for PhrenoloGy.

~ n Home FOR Phrenology.
MArrEAwAS. Aug. THE Fowler Castle. .
famous old building situated on tho old Post
road. near Fishki,l village, and known to all
sightseekers as "Fowler's Folly" is now . thing
of the past. Yesterday it was destroyed with
dynamite by q gang of workmen, under the
supervision OF Frederick Haight. who has pur-
chased the property, the destruction OF the place
being witnessed by a large number of people.
Nearly a dozen dynamite cartridges were used
to cause the large stone walls Of the building
to sway and fall.
The history Of this house Is one Of interest. In
1s4o Prof. Orsen Squire Fowler was a phrenolo-
gist of much note. lie was an extremely eccen-
trio man. much given to imaginations and among
his hobbies was the erection on q grand scale OF
a home for chronology. He looked for q suitable
site, and at last n beautiful piece OF ground on
beyond the limits of the village Of Fishkill. but
Just far enough back from the river and railroad
to insure its seclusion. was selected.
Prot. Fowlers plans for the building were
elaborate and eccentric, and to erect it required
a large sum OF money. He was financially equal
to the task. however. and his great reputation
about on a lecturing tour, the funds from which
were to be used in constructing the building.
Slowly but surely he accumulated a fund. and
in ls41 he began the erection OF the massive
building. 1t was built upon solid rock. the walls
being OF concrete and octagon in shape. In the
centre was a large well. Il took eisht years to
all light and with high ceilings. and everything
about the house was equipped In the best style
OF the day. The giass-roofed cupola was go feet
high; and from this q magnificent view could be
obtained OF the surrounding country. sixteen
towns coming within the range OF vision The
house was occupied by Prot. Fowler q short time
place for visitors and relic seekers until ts nnAl
destruction on Friday.

THE BOSS PICK
It Wa Caught on Perrh Tackle and Bar,
and Weighed Twenty Pounds

BATH. y. Y. Aug. Until Monday last ex.
sheriff Young OF Genese- county held the cham
pionship record for the largest pickerel ever
taken in Conesus Lake. The weight OF the fish
was eighteen pounds. Conesus Lake ia famous
for its yellow perch. A favorite bait with local
fishermen who seek size OF catch rather than
good sport with perch is the eye OF this fish. A
perch Is hrst caught with some other bait. The
eyes are then forced from their sockets. A
perch's eye Is remarkably large and brilliant,
and, when one or two OF them are placed on a
hook. they make n very killing bait. This bait
Is a good one when fishing for uickerel through
the ice in winter. but has never proved an at.
traction for that ravenous ish in summer or
fall fishing. This makes the capture OF the big
rl.Kerel in Conesus Like the other day quite as
noticeable MS the siZr OF the 1sh.
Frank Crane OF Ceres had been fishing in the
lake for perch. using eyes for bait. He was row.
ing ashore toward evening with a big catch OF
perch. He had left his hook in the water. trail
Ing at the end OF not more tn N twenty-five feet
OF line, and with two big perch. eyes strung on
IL. Suddenly something seized the bait and
rushed away with IL. The rod was lying loose
In the boat, and before Crane could drop his
oars and get To IL the butt was disappearing
over the stern. He got hold Of IL, however. and
with the big Dish that had got the hook in
its Jaw. 1t Is NOT likely thar Crane
would have succeeded in landing the fish, for he
had no xatf, but n piCkerel fisherman who mad
watched the fight from its start at last rowed
over to the spot. and while Crane manoAuyred
and got It into the hli,. 1t was a pickerel the
size OF which scared Crane when he saw il. It
was over four feet long and weighed twenty
pounds when put on the scales an hour later.

RIOT AT A CIRCUS.
Matinee and Evening shlndies-An EIephant
Used to scatter . Crowd.

QUEBEC. Aug. An oath spoken to a woman
by one OF the employees OF Washburn's circus
yesterday afternoon started a riot in the suburb
OF ST. Sauvaur, which eliminated in bloodshed,
many broken heads and a few more serious in
juries. The woman who was insulted struck
the circus man who had sworn at her and he hit
back. The consequence was a free fight, in
which the roughs of the district, which Is noto-
riously the worst in Canada. took an active part.
The trouble was resumed in the evening. The
evening performance had scarcely begun when
the circus hand. for being drunk and abusive.
was arrested. His comrades attacked the po-
lice, and, as there we're ouly four on the ground,
they were overcome and the prisoner was re-
leased. The policemen stood their ground
bravely. but were subjected to great abuse and
were injured. The entire poll e pick t was
then called out, and soon the fight became gen.
eral.
stones and sticks were freely used and sew
eral pistol shots were fired. Then the circus
people started their large eleph mt into the
crowd to scatter il, and a panic ensued, in
which several women and children are reported
to have leeu injured. Finally the elephant es.
capped from its keeper and rushed TO The lower
town, where il was captured in n back yard. lis
keeper had his arm broken by the crowd. The
doctors in the neiShborhood were kept busy for
some time dressing the wounds OF the injured.
The circus left town this morning for the Lake
st. John district and had 10 be escorted out ~
town. As il was, it was ass lied with stones
and sticks. and the employees had AL they could

KILLED IN 4 TRENCH.
Neweombe and Two Others Were Overcome
by Gas and He Did Not Recover.

Two laborcrs. William Newcombe and Thomas
Mcintyre. set TO work yesterday morning under
Foreman William Brown TO repair a leak in one
OF the Yonkers Gas Light Company's mains on
Broadway. near the northern end Of Van Cort-
landt Park. They we're obliged 10 remove a
portion OF the broken main. and to stop the
escape OF the gas they plugged the main and
tied a piece OF baSEinR over the end OF Il. The
pressure OF the gas blew out the plug and tore
the baggine. allowing the full head OF gas to
escape into the excavation. This was about 10
O'Clock. and IL was several minutes before fellow
~laoorers discovered what had happened.
Although the ditch was Oiled with the polson-
Gus gas and the men in II had heen overcome,
their fellow workmen did not hesitate a moment
in jumping INTO the excavation and dragging out
their unconscious comrades. An ambulance was
hssrily summoned from Fortham Hospital. and
Mcintyre recovered in n few minutes under
treatment and was able TO go home, Newcomoe
could not be revived, and his body was taken
charge OF by the kiugsbridEe police.
Foreman Brown recovered consciousness; but
was violently i'll, and was removed TO the Ford
ham Hospital.
The homes OF the three men are in Yonkers.

" ORIGINAL PACKAGES" DEFINED.
Judge stmontonS Decfsion In the ssuth Care
lima Liquor War.

lima Liquor War.
COLUMBIA. g. c., Aug. Judge Siuonton.
IN the United States Circuit Court to-day. fled
his decision In four cases wherein the definition
OF an original package" in was
the issue. Dealers In other States had the pro-
lection Of the Interstate Commerce law and had
sent liquor to agents In South Carolina for sale.
In one instance bottles were packed loosely in
sawdust in freight cars and the whole car cnu-
signed In other cases liquor was shipped In
boxes, which were opened here, and the liquor
sold by the bottle. The State held that original
packages must be sold as shipped. each package
by itself and unbroken. After considering the
cases in point. Judge Simonton says:
1T appears that the original package Is the
package delivered by the importer to the carrier
at the initial place OF shipment in the exact con-
dition in which it was shipped. II In single
bottles shipped singly. or II in packages of three
or more, securely fastened together and marked.
or II in a box, barrel. crate, or other receptacle.
the single bottle in the one instance. the three
or more bottles in another instance, the barrel,
box. crate, or other receptacle, respectively. con-
stitute the original package. II sold or delivered.
Il must be sold or delivered as shipped and re-
ceived. II the package DO broken after such
OF the State, and any sale or delivery in such
case is unlawful"
Original package houses contend that this de-
cision permits liquor being shipped by the bottle
loose in cars and that 1t Is all they can desire.
Dispensary authorities seem equally pleased,
and assert a victory. They admit, however.
that the car shipments OF bottles has been left
open. II the State gains this point on a test, the
dispensary will still lose practically all high
class customers
