affair. this morning. as result Of
which Frank Anne may lose his life.
Mr.. Anne had not been in good health
through the last winter and so, this
spring, has spent a good deal of his
time out of doors. He went to the
camp about two weeks ago in quest of
ducks, intending to return home, this
afternoon.
He was just starting out in the foa.
when he heard a flock of ducks APP
preaching, and reaching for the gun
drew it toward him, muzzle first. In
doing this. the hammer was raised and
snapped back. discharging a charge OF
No. shot into his right side just over
the lower ribs.
He managed to reach the shore. and
being alone, called for help with his
remaining strength. The dog of Fred
| NJ. Babcock. lives just across the pond
| began TO bark. calling both Mr. and
Mrs. Babcocll to the door. They heard
| his cries and went to his assistance
There they found him in great agony
and removed him into the camp. Later
three gunners arrived on the scene ano
| with a hastily-constructed stretcher
| they moved him to Mr.. Babcock'
home.
DR.. Adams of Litchiield, was sum
| moned, also Drs. F. E. Strout and A
NJ. Sawyer of Gardiner. They found
that the charge had shattered the tive
lower ribs, and were obliged to remove
most of them, that the muscles of the
side We're fearfully lacerated and ais,
some of the organs. The shot and
Wads were removed and Mr.. Anne
made as comfortable as possible, bu,
his chances for recovery are considered
very doubtful.
| Mr.. Anne is 80 years of age, carries
on a place Of business at upper Water
street, and lives with his wife and
daughter on Dresden avenue.

from the matter of reorganization there
are four important questions before the
Senate. These are the Morgan Cuban
resolution. the bankruptcy bill. the
anglo-A American arbitration treaty and
the appropriation bills.

Dull at Manchester.

London, April 1.-THE money market
is unusually easy, the result of the re-
lease of 10000. 900 in the form of divi-
dends. This has compelled the Bank
of England to reduce the rates, and al
though the rates in the open market
show only slight decrease. a further
reduction at an early date is fully eX-
pected. The only change which is
firmer in the market. lies in the direc-
ton of gold exports; but it is doubtful
if the continental demand will be
strong enough to take bars from the
bank
