Mo-, the quarrel between the watch
man and the mate broke out. The
former attacked the mate with q
knife. For some time the struggle
lasted, both participants rolling about
the deck, to the horror of the passen-
gers, who were unable to interfere.
Finally, when the mate, who had been
cut In numerous places, was about to
give up, he succeeded in pulling his
revolver. With well-directed shot
he laid the Waterman low.
Stephen Hugs, proprietor of the
landing, went up town for an officer
and returned with Deputy Coroner

Waterman dead, lying on the blood
covered deck.

KILLED BY BURGLARS.
For the Sake of $500 Three Men
strangle Husband and
Assault HIS Wtfe.

New York, Sept. e1.-Andrew Cas-
sagne was strangled to death by three
men Sunday night in the tenement in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, E. D., which
he occupied with his wife.
According to the story told to the
police by Mrs, Cassagne, she had for q
few minutes left the room In which
she and her husband slept. Returning,
she found her husband dead on the
floor beside the bed, while three men
stood over him. She ran to her hus-
bans side, but was grasped by two OF
the men, who choked her nearly to
,insensibility, while the third man
searched the room, finding $500 under
the mattress Of the bed. Meanwhile
Mrs. Cassagne had contrived to reach
the door opening in the hall, and
kicked upon 1t to call help. Her as
sailants relaxed their grasp upon her
throat and she was then able to
scream, which she did jus as the three
men fed from the tenement with the
money. There were dark blue spots
upon Mrs. Cassagne's neck, bearing out
the story Of the assault upon her. Cas-
sagne, who had been choked to death,
was "a years old, his wife being six
years younger. The police have ar
rested two men upon suspicion. They
are Michael Nigel and John Thomas.

ASTHMA CAN Be CURED.
A Noted Physician will Prove This tc
Sufferers In Cresco,

A Noted Physician will Prove This to
Sufferers In Cresco,
The progress of modern medical
science has led to the discovery of
successful methods of treatment for
most of those maladies once regai ded
as incurable. Asthma has always
been regarded as belonging to this
obstinate class, battling the skill of
the greatest physicians. Thousands
of sufferers know by their own expert
ence that little if any relief has been
afforded them by tue methods hereto
fore employed. DIR. Rudolph Schiff-
mann the noted physician has, after
a lifelong study OF Asthma and
kindred diseases, discovered a remedy
which not only gives instant relief in
the severest cases of Asthma, Hay
Fever and Bronchitis, but has actually
cured thousands whose cases had
been pronounced incurable. So COM
plete ls his confidence in his remedy,
that to overcome the skeptlcism of
the public growing out of thu failure
of other remedies, DIR. Schiffmann
requests this paper to announce that
for the next three days he offers a
liberal sample box Of "Schiffman's
Asthma Cure" free of charge to all
persons applying at DR.. William
Connolly's Drug Store. He believes
that an actual test will be the most
convincing and in fact the only way
to overcome the natural prejudice of
thousands of Asthmatics who have
heretofore sought relief In vain. Per-
sons living out OF town will receive a
package free, postpaid, by; writing
direct to DIR. r. Schiffmann, 315 Rosa
bel ST., ST. Paul, Mimi, before Sept.
tanned after that date. Send simply
your name and address plainly
