CHARGED WITH MURDER.
An Accusation Apparently DisprOved
by Autopsy.

by Autopsy.
Clarence Parker, a colored boy, eight
years old, died at the home Of his grand
nue., Hillsdale, about 6 o'clock yesterday.
About fifteen minutes after his death Ser
geant Anderson arrested William Carroll,
colored, eleven years old, and locked him
up on 4 charge of being responsible for
Parkers death. He had struck the lad
over the right eye with stone.
An autopsy performed today by Deputy
Coror er Glazebrook upon the body of the
Parker boy disclosed that his death was
due to diphtheria, and rot to the effects of
the blow, as had been supposed
The boy under arrest admitted to the Off
GERS that he had hit Parker with a stone,
also admitting that the two had Quarreled.
He was so frightened, however, that he
was unable to give an ineligible account
of their differences nor of the ARRAY. The
force of the blow was such as to knock the
boy down. and those who saw him after
ward said he appeared to be dazed. The
trouble occurred near the Birney School
building, both boys being pupils there.
1t Is said that when Sergt. Anderson
vent to the Carroll home TO arrest William
Mrs. Carroll became greatly excited and
threatened to commit suicide, but she
afterward became mere calm and made no
effort to carry out the threat.
There had been trouble for several weeks
between the two families, who live in ad-
joining houces. and on one occasion the
matter got into the Police Court.
The coroner summoned a jury and COM
menced his investigation at o'clock this
afternoon.

DIVIDING THE TROOPS.
A Definite Scheme VIII BE Announce
In Few Days.

A Definite Scheme Will BE Announced
In Few Days.
Now that the formation of the volun-
teer army and the recruiting Of the regu-
lar army to its full war strength is fairly
under way, the President and Secretary
Alger are giving some attention to the
question of their subdivision into corps, d.
visions. brigades, etc. Several tentative
plans already have been mapped out, but
so far, 1t is said, none has been finally de-
termined upon. The appointment of a
number of major and brigadier generals,
however, will hasten the completion of the
work, and a definite scheme of division
will be announced in few days. The law
for the formation of the volunteer army
leaves it discretionary with the President
as to whether three or more regiments shall
constitute brigade and also whether two
or three divisions shall constitute corps.
Those questions determined upon finally,
the assignment of the major and brigadier
generals will he fixed readily. General
Miles. commanding the army. favors the
formation of seven corps in all-two in the
regular army and five in the volunteer
army. In other quarters it has been sug-
three corps. major general commands
either a corps a division, that the
plan determined upon will provide for a
sufficient number of these to give assign
ments to the officers of the higher grades.
The volunteer army act also makes pro-
vision for a complete staff for the COM
nanders of corps, divisions and brigades,
who are to be appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate.

A dispatch from Toronto, Ont, yesterday

redly sent to Washington, D. c., whence
he proceeded to Key West, Fla. His de-
parture caused considerable comment a.

question relative to the trip, but simply
answered that it was purely department.

Captain Kent has now returned to Hall

it is evident that, whatever other business
he had in hand, he was making inquiries
about the Maine disaster.
He expresses the opinion that the vessel
was blown up by external means and that
II was probably mine put in position not
long before the explosion took place he
saw Captain Sissbee and went carefully
over all the evidence taken during the in

knowledge of explosives, their effect when
exploded in certain conditions, and the Ger
tainty that in such a case as that of the
Maine disaster all traces of how the mine
or torpedo was laid would disappear mazda

agency had been applied.

1t is the understanding at the War De-
partment that the bill pending in Congress
providing for the enlistment of over 10000
'immunes' and brigade Of engineers will
be modified SO as to leave 1t discretionary
with the President to recruit probably 49,
600 men made up of such special classes as
he may deem best for the service. These
classes. 1t is expected, will include ''im-
munes." signal corps. cowboy companies
and artillery and engineer regiments. This
course Is regarded at the War Depart
ment as better than that proposed in the
bill. in that II will enable the President to
provide for obtaining such troops as he
may think best.
Among those who have been prominent
in urging upon the officials the formation
of a brigade Of engineer troops is Mr. Eu-
gene Griffin, the vice president of the Gem
eral Electric Company. Mr. Griffin is a
graduate Of West Point. who served four
teen years In the corps of engineers, in
Guiding service as aid-de-camp with Gen.
w. 8. Hancock. He has rendered his SER
vices to the government in connection with
the present war.

LondOn's Atmosphere.
From the London Times.

Only by degrees are the marvellous quail
tiles of our London atmosphere becoming
known. No city in the world can boast
such a peculiar aerial composition as that
which the inhabitants of the metropolis
have served to them daily and nightly.
without money and without prfce--for
neither the government, county council nor
vestries have yet attempted to tax the
highly nutritive air which We breathe.
Most people think that our atmosphere con-
sists Of practically nothing. Quite mis-
take. 1t is both meat and drink A paper
contributed to the Transactions" of the
British Institute of Preventive Medicine
states that even in a suburb the dust par
tfcles number 10000 per cubic centimeter
In the open air, and A 900 in a quiet room:
while In the city-O fortunatos nimium.-
the totals per cubic centimeter were 10000
when taken from a roof, 600 in a court
and about 100000 in a room. In other
words, the cir OF the square mile is 800 per
cent thicker than in the suburbs, which Is
in accord with the general experience that
fogs are both more dense and more fire.
