come To light that T.rcius F Mellen,
ex-superintendent of the City Infrmary
and ex-general agent of the Cleveland

lice for fear of further violence. Mr..
Mellen, for riding on a Big Consoli-
dated car, was seized by two men and
thrown out of the door OF a shop. The
aged man fell on the sidewalk and the
two men and a boy, reinforced by two
other men who came along, kicked him
brutally. Mr.. Mellen later was assist
ed to his home.

why William DID Not visit Cowes.

London, Aug. 5.-The Berlin corre-

learn that the real reason why EN-
peror William did not go to Cowes was
the acute state of the Transvaal ques-
ton. The letter delivered yesterday
to the queen at Osborne House by
Lieutenant Freiherr Won Strombeck ex-
plains this, repeats the emperor's re-
grets and contains a promise to visit
her majesty during the autumn. There
is some talk of previous meeting be-
tween the Prince of Wales and EN-
peror William at the Empress Fred
