New York, July 6.--Robsrt Bonner,
publisher OF the New York Ledger and
owner of famous horses. died at his home
in this city tonight. Mr.. Bonner had

be atout until about ten days ago. Death
was due to general breaking down of

Mrs. Fran,is Ford, daughter and son in

Mr.. Bonner enjoyed remarkable health
until few months ago, when his life
long friend, Rev. john Hall, died. A
second shook to him was the death OF his
son Andrew Allen Bonner on December
27th last.
After this Mr.. Bonner's temperament
changed perceptibly. He made fewer
trips to his magnificent farm near larry
town and contented himself with short
drive daily.
A week ago Tuesday he took his last
drive. On his return home, his case was
so serious that several doctors were called
in consultation with his family ply
sician, DIR. Mum. He became much
worse on the following day and since
then took no nourishment. He lost con-
seiousness early this morning and re-
mained in that condition to the end.

settled in this country in Hartford,
Conn. He was president of the Scotch.

red shirts. They are barefooted.
A crowd of spanish men and wome n
embraced them, weeping and shouting
their prAises.

that the captain several times proposed
to surrender, but the soldiers refused.
Finally some months ago he tried to raise
q white flag. Thereupon Lieut.. Martin
killed MIN with bis own sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely q
week ago and they surrendered to the

They were allowed to keep their arms
and they say they marched from Baler
with Filipino escort and carrying guns.

Dedham, Mass, July 6.-The Seery
brothers, Joseph E. and John W., who
are serving brief sentence for drunken
ness in Dedham Jail prior to arraignment
on charge of murder, have secured
counsel. Edwin G. Jenney of Hyde Park
and Benjamin II. Greenhood OF Dedham
The lawyers have determined to outline
their defence ON the ground that it was
possible for a stranger to have entered
the house by the rear windows and COM
NIT the assault during which Mrs. Seery
died.
The feeling is growing stronger that
the two sons would not have committed
SO atronious an assault, and the talk of
the neighoors is that both, in the past
had shown some tenderness toward theiI
mother.
