CONDITIONS IN PARIS MAY CAUSE
MENT.

Washington, October 26-Some appre-
bension has been manifested in certain
quarters as to the possible effect upon the
peace commission at Paris of an upheayal
in France.
It has been suggested that the Spanish
cause is in such shape that the Spanish
government has nothing to lose and
everything to gain by any change that
can be brought about
However. it may be stated that in the
opinion of the state department officials
here there is little danger Of the situation
in Paris becoming SO acute as to justify
an abandonment Of the work of the COM
mission on the ground that the commits
sioners themselves are in physical danger.

says in reference to the supreme court de-
cision against the Joint Traffic associ-
alton: LAS q lawyer, I do not care to
express an opinion as to the law laid
down by the supreme court OF the United
States, but as matter of equity consid-
or the decision an outrage. The treat
ment OF railroads by the government is
outrageous. A railroad is either private
corporation or public corporation. If
the former, it should be protected, and
this the government does not do.

er of Indian Affairs William A. Jones,
who has been in Minnesota making ne
gotiations with the Chippewa Indians,
today made verbal report TO Secretary
Bliss upon his work. Commissioners Jones

for 10 cause at all, taking them down to
Duluth and Minneapolis for trial an0

Manchester, N. H., October 26.-At
10. 80 O'Clock tonight. at Lake Massabesic
Edward Moore, aged 36, was stabbed by
George Green, soldier Of Co. G, (Con-
cord), First New Hampshire regiment.
Moore bled to death Notwithstanding
strenuous efforts to stop the flow OF blood
on the part of the bystanders
Green stepped into the Clifton house,
few rods away, remained few moments
and then boarded the last trolley car for
this city. The Office at the police sta
tion were notified and met the car, took
Green therefrom and locked him up.
Tt seems that Green went into a lunch
cart near the pavilion early in the eve
ming and ats a lunch. He offered ten
dollar bill for payment and the proprie-
tor could not change it. About 9.45
O'Clock Green came in again and ordered
some more food. Bennett, the proprietor
of the cart, asked him to pay for the pre-
vious food and Green said he had no
money. The proprietor then tried to put
him out of the cart. At the time Edward
Moore was seated in the cart and had
assisted Bennett in putting Green out,
giving the latter push. Green took
exceptions to Moore's interference and
cursed him. Moore then started for Green,
who ran short distance. Green sudden
Iy turned and fourishing dirk. gave
Moore a vicious stab that penetrated the
victim Is intestines, the bowels protruding.
Bennett, hearing Moore's outcries, hast
ened to his assistance with cane and
saw Green stab his victim twice more.
Green then disappeared down the Ports
mouth railroad tracks, afterwards showed
ND at the Clifton house and there took
the trolley car in.
In the meantime Moore was assisted
back to the lunch cart and sat down.
He said he was bleeding to death. Every.
thing possible was done for him. but he
slowly passed away. An examination
showed that one wound had penetrated
the bowels, second cut long cash on
one side and third went between the
ribs near the heart.
The police in this city were immediate
ly notified and despatched officers to the
lake and the body of Moore was taken In
charge, Coroner Biokford being notified.
At the police station Green stated that
his home was in Roxbury, VT, that he
was 33 years old and unmarried. He en-
listed in Co. G, Concord, at the breaking
out of hostilities with Spain, and went
to Chickamauga with the New Hamp-
shire troops. At Concord the information
comes that Green had a habit of flourish |
ing big knife and revolver and that he |
once attempted to commit suicide at
Camp Thomas.
Moore was Manchester man with I'M |
steady habits and had frequently been ar
rested by the local police.

BARTHOLlMrS BUSY DAY.

BARTHOLlMPS BUSY DAY.
Shot Wife, Fired Buildings and Committed
Suicide.
Blackston, Mass. October 26.-Mitchell
Bartholomi, u native of France, thrice
shot and probably mortally wounded his
wife Della, then set fire to the house in
which the family lived and ended the de-
plorable affair, as far as he was concerned,
by killing himself, late this afternoon.
Bartholomi was evidently crazy when
he planned to commit murder, and the
arrangements he had made and which for
the most part miscarried, showed that
he intended to make the deed certain
ty. He set fire to the home in five places,
but the quick arrival of the officers pre-
vented the destruction of the house.
Batholomi shot at his wife five times
three bullets taking effect, one in her
back. one in the left shoulder and the
other shot just grazing her chin. She
started to leave the house after the first
shot. and as it was running fire
the deadHness Of the aim was less effec-
tive. Mrs. Batholomi fell into pool of
water about 80 yards from the house and
was taken out by one OF her sons.
On examining Barthelomi's body. it was
found that he had shot himself once in
the left ear IN each hand the dead man
held a revolver.
