siderably lower this year than last Tne
rate last year for the city was s20-42 this

Wanderings.

The mystery regarding the disappear
anee of little four-year-old Richard Me-
CURE. of No. u Huron avenue was
cleared up satisfactorily yesterday aller-

been drowned or Kidnapped.
The lad was pickle UP Thursday night

ship. The tot gave his name but coula
not tell the police where he resided. tie
was kept all night at the station mouse
and meanwhile telephone messages We're
being sent to all the police stations IN the

ing young McGuire's description had
been reported missing. When the police
of the Oakland avenue station We're notl-
fled Of the boys disappearance they told

WANT PALIsaDE AVENUE IMPROVED
Hudson City Association Thinks the
Chances Slim.


The Hudson City Improvement Associa-
ton held a meeting at Groechels Hall.
Oakland and Beacon avenue last night.
The principal topic discussed was the pro-
posed asphalting of Paiisade avenue, but
the reports We're very discouraging.
Alfred Wenzel, who is a member of the
delegation from the Hudson City Business
Mems Association that recently waited
upon the Street and Water Board con-
corning tn waiter, was present and said
he had recently talked with members of
the Street and Water Board and while
they promised to do all they possibly
could to bring about the desired improve
ment their manner indicated that they
did not clearly see their way ahead to do
So
Carl Lampe called their attention to
the fact that out of the s250.Ooo street fund
the Hudson City section had received but
$4,000 in eight years.
Financial Secretary Barber declared it
was shame that PalIsade avenue should
be left in its present condition. He called
attention to the Riverside Drive in New
York. and said Palisade avenue afforded
a more beautiful view. The present con-
dition of Palisade avenue, he declared,
was no better than that of side street.
]. Wallace Black reported that he had
signatures representing 2S2 lots protesting
against the Baldwin avenue Improvement.
The signers of the petition declare it
should be general improvement.

COUNT VINCHI AROUSED.
Italian Charge d'Affaires Asks
Explanation of Louisiana
Lynching.

WASHINGTON, July Q. 1s9s.-The
lynching of five Italians in Louisiana yes
terday promises to assume an Internal
tio1al aspect through the action of the
italian government. Count yinchi, the
Italian charge d'affaires, called at the
state department at an early hour this
nnornin. and made representations TO the
officials concerning the atroctty in Louis
lana.
In order to get full information as q
basis for action by this government sec
retary Hay thereupon telegraphed tne
Governor of Louisiana. requesting All th9
facts in the case. Count VinchfS aouon
was predicated on reports from the ltal.
ian consular officials in Louisiana, anu
by the press reports.
There is reason to believe also 1har the
italian Foreign Office is already fully m
formed on the occurrence. Tt is probapie-
however. that the representations or to-
day are only preliminary, with view to
calling attention to the facts reported and
to pave the way for any protest or de-
mand of reparati0n which may follow.
The affair is considered in official Ital-
ian quarters as much like that in the
Mafia eases at New Orleans while Mr.
Blaine was Secretary of State, at Wnieh
time the italian Minister. Baron Fava,
called for his passports and left the e0un-
try. Baron Fava is now In Rome on va
cation and during his absence Counk
