SNORING LEADS TO MURDER
New York Woman Cuts Her Hus-

NEW YORK, June 24.-For the express
ed reason that he snored too loudly and
disturbed her sleep Mrs. Grace Ramsey
cut the throat of her husband, Harvey J.
Ramsey, a ticket-taker at the Garden
theater, while he slept. The victim died
at Bellevue hospital a few hours later
after having told his story.
The couple occupied apartments in the
Garden hotel, Twenty-seventh street and
Madison avenue, where Mrs. Ramsey was
arrested soon after the crime was COM
mitted. When an officer entered the room
the woman was seated on the side of the
bed with a bloody razor still in her hand.

FLANK MOVEMENT MADE
Lawton Is Trying to Get Behind
the Insurgents.
HOTFlGHTING IS EXPECTED
Macarthur and the Montana Troops Are
Pushing Straight on From Malolos.
Calumpit Is the Point
of Attack.

Washington, April 24-Information
received ait the war department indi-
Gates that General Otis is about to exc
cute another important movement, the
initial features of which are shown by
to-day's press advices from Manila. The
objective point is the insurgent town
of Calumpit, being about eight miles
northeast of Malolos. 1t was here that
the insurgents concentrated after be-
ing driven out of their capital setting
up a new capital and making it the
base of their operations. In moving on
this stronghold, General Otis proposes
to conduct two distinct operations. The
first one, under Major General MacAr-
thur has for its purpose pushing
straight forward from Malolos along
the railroad and striking at Calumpit
from the south. The second one is un-
der Major General Lawton, who, with
his flying column, is moving far around
to the northeast, to the large town of
Norzagay, from which point he Will
turn abruptly west toward Calumpit.
This last move will take about 10 days
and military strateeists look upon it
as another effort to flank the insurgents
by getting behind them at at Calumplt
similar to the flank movement which
General Macarthur attempted to exc
cute at Malabon.
This double operation makes Calum-
| pit the center for the next few days,
| while attention will be divided between
| MacArthur's column advancing from
| Malolos and Lawtnns column on its
/ 10 days march by Norzagay. MacAr-
thur has only a short distance to ira
| verse, so that his forces may be en-
| gagged with the main force of the insur-
| gents within the next few hours. The

General Duchesne and General Je-

whom, except perhaps General Zurlin-

under no circumstances whatever shall
Dreyfus be liberated. He understands
also from the same source, that nego-
tiations are now proceeding between
the intelligence bureau and the judges
of the court of cessation to secure
rejection of the request of revision, and
that the judges who favor revision are
being subjected to terrible intimidation.
More than this. he learns that every
thing has been arranged for sham

and said:
Gentlemen. this negro is innocent.
Hose said Lige had promised to give
him 500 to kill Alfred Crawford, and l
believe Lige has not had $40 since he
has been on my plantation. He has
never done any of you any harm, and
now 1 want you to promise me that you
will turn him over the bailiff of this
town in order that he may be given
hearing. l do not ask that you libarate
him. Hold him, and if the courts ad-
judge him guilty, hang him.
To this the mob replied that Strick-
land had inflamed the negroes in the
neighborhood and had a bad reputa-
ton, having run away from East Point
several years ago.
Major Thomas reminded the mob that
the negro had voluntarily told OF see
ing Hose on the night of the murder. A
member of the mob replied that Strick-
land had done this in the cunningness
of his guilt to establish his own inno-
cence. There were some, however, who
agreed with Major Thomas. and, after
discussion, a vote was taken, which
was supposed TO mean life or death to
Lige Strickland. The vote to let him
live was unanimous.
Major Thomas then retired some dis
tance and the mob was prepared to
when a member of the mob cried out:
1--WE have got him here. Let us keep
him."
This remark aroused the mob and a
messenger was sent to Major Thomas
to leave Palmetto for his own good,
but the old gentleman was not fright
ened. He drew himself up and said
emphatically:
II have never been before ordered to
leave a town, and l am not going to
leave this one
| And then the major uplifting his

saw the negro he had pleaded for led

negro to drive near the home of Mar

again the moose was adjusted around
