To Receive Internal Revenue Receipt!
For the Government.


Washington, Dec. 2s.-The secretary
of the treasury today designated sew
eral additional banks as government
repositories to receive internal revenue
receipts, and it is said will continue
to do so until the total sum so depos-
tied amounts to $50. 000, 900 or 10000, 900.
Deposits. however, will not be made
with the additional banks until the
banks comprising the first group des-
ignated several days ago have received
deposits equal to the amount of bonds
turned into the treasury by them, as Sc
curity, which approximates $4,000

ing or controlling United States bonds
willing to deposit the same in the treas
ury as security, including those now
receiving deposits, is entitled to partic-
ipate in this distribution of internal
revenue -ece-tS-

PROB4BLY 4 CHILD-MURDER FIR.
Discovered in New Hartford-A Hun
 garian Woman Arreated

Winsted, Conn.,, July 14-A probable case of child murder was discovered to- day in New Hartford and the discov- cry has been followed by the arrest of Hungarian woman who is believed to be the mother of the infant and against whom it is alleged the officials have very discriminating evidence. Two Hungarians, Paul Reges and Joseph Sescik, were returning from work last night when on a lonely road called the "Dugway'' their attention was attract ed by huge swarm of flies lowering over clump of bushes. On investigat- ing they discovered the body of an in fant scarcely more than day old hid- den among the bushes, with a piece of calico tied tightly around it's neck, ap- parently for the purpose of strangula- tion. There were also marks of vio- lence on the head and one side of the body, which were caused by some blunt instrument.
 The men notified John Link, a barten- der, of this discovery and he in turn notified Medical Examiner Carver and Deputy Sheriff Stancliffe. After lit- tie investigation by the officers Mary
 
 arrest on suspicion. The calico around the infants neck tallied exactly with the material in a waist worn by the wo- man. The alleged murderess has been but three months in this country and Is employed in the cotton factory of D. B. Smiths Sons at Pinemeadow, sub- urb of New Hartford. In going and coming from work the Astago woman used to pass the spot where the body was found. Coroner Higgins assisted by the medical examiner performed an autopsy this afternoon and pronounced death due to strangulation. An inquest will be held either tomorrow or Mon- day when several witnesses will be ex- amined. Coroner Higgins stated to- night that from appearances the evil dence would be very strong against the MnDlan.

COL UMBIA IND DEPEND FIR.
Former to Have Her Sails Reset-Crew
 Not to be Changed.

New York, July 14.-At 6 o'clock this evening the new cup defender Columbia left her moorings at New Rochelle for Bristol, k. l., where her sails are to be recut and she is to receive a general overhauling to prepare her for the next races with the Defender. The yacht was lowed by the tender St. Michaels. It is MT. Iselins intention to take out the Columbias wooden mast and sub stitute the steel one made for her by the Herreshoffs. It is said to be a much lighter spar than the other and with it the yacht is expected to carry her sails better. Before the Columbia meets the Defender next week it is almost certain that she will be hauled out on the ways at Bristol and have her hull made abso- lutely smooth. Just before he sailed in the Columbia to-day MT Iselin said that there was no truth in the rumor that the crews of the Columbia and De- fender are to be changed. He feels that with sufficient drilling the Columbia's crew will be quite smart enough to han dle the yacht under all conditions. The Columbia should be able to reach New port by daylight and Bristol by noon on Saturday.

NEVIS FROM .iEiSKI. Reports of Large Disghs tm the New
 Cold Fields,

Seattle, Wash, July 1.-The steam CT Alliance arrived this morning from St. Michaels, Alaska. She is the first vessel to arrive from the south of the Yukon this season and brings advices from the newly discovered gold fields of Cape Nome. Pans from two lo four dollars are common. Only one clean up has been made thus far. Four men shoveling eight days took out $96,000. The gold is different from that of the Yukon in that it is quite black, due to iron. It runs about SIS to the ton. On a claim adjoining Price and Lane, Dr. Kittelson took $4 to the pan, There was a great rush of men from St Michael's into the district Town lots are selling as high as $1,O0O. Nearly all the ground has been staked. The AL liance had several passengers and a small amount of gold dust from Daw- son. The Alliance brings news of the deaths of miners near Cape Nome.

ST4MPING OF BANK CHECKS.
Com m issioner Wilson Threatens Prose-
 CutiOM.

Washington, July 14.-Commissioner Wilson of the internal revenue depart- ment has issued circular prohibiting banks from affixing stamps to checks unstamped when presented, and requir- ing them to return the same to the drawers. In his circular to collectors the commissioner says: You are di- rected to notify the banks that are guilty of stamping unstamped checks that if the practice is not immediately discontinued they will be reported to the United States district attorney for prosecution.
 'The instruction contained in treas- ury decision No 19,606, under date of June 20 1898, to the effect that there was no objection to the atfixing by the bank of the requisite stamps to an un- stamped check presented for payment is hereby revoked. This instruction was given to meet an emergency immedi- ately preceding the taking effect of the stamp act on July 1, 1898, in order to obviate the necessity of returning by the banks thousands of unstamped checks issued by drawers in ignorance of the law. The law being now gener- ally understood, there is no further need of such permission"
 This action was taken upon informa- ton that certain banks had adopted the practice of not requiring stamps as an advertisement to secure patronage against rival banks.

TRIPLE DROWNING IN DERBY
THREE LITTLE GIRLS MEET DEATH
 IN THE HOUSATONIC.
Were Playing ON the Banks of the River --Impr0vIscd Raft from u Bed-Sprins Frame and Drtfted With it from the Shorc-It Upset and They Were Thrown Into Deep Water.

Derby, Conn.,, July 14.-Annie and Lizzie Kinney, aged twelve and four years respectively, daughters of Mi chael Kinney of Washington street, and Julia Kinney, aged ten years, a daughter of Mrs. Owen Kinney of Gil- bert street, were drowned in the Hou- satonic river this afternoon. Their bodies were recovered by diving for them. The three children were playing on the banks of the river when a bed spring frame tloated down the stream and so close to the shore that the chill dren caught it and improvised a raft. It drifted away, however, with the children on it and when about thirty feet from the shore it upset at a point where the water is very deep. William McGrath, who was on the Shelton side, was the only witness of the accident and he hastily put out in a boat but when he reached the scene there were no signs of the children. Other assist ance soon came and William Sheely and William Keefe dived for the bodies and after few attempts were success full. Michael Kinney recently lost his wife and Annie, who was the oldest of five children, was his housekeeper. Mrs. Owen Kinney lost her husband a short time ago and this latest bereave- ment has prostrated her.

MISS BARTON COMING HOME.
Established Twelve AsyIums in Havana
 Province Alone.

Havana, July 14.-Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross society will leave for the United States tomorrow. She has established twelve asylums in this prov lnce, having obtained as many build lngs from the mayors. All are throng- ed with children, mostly orphan recon- centrados. About three hundred are now under care in the various institu- tions, where they are kept clean and well fed Cuban women brought their sewing machines and made the neces- sary clothing for the orphans, the Red Cross furnishing the cloth and the mil itary authorities supplying the rations. Corporal punishment is not allowed in the asylums. The larger children are given tools and seeds, together with a small plot of land to be tiled and many are already eating their own lettuce, raddishes and potatoes. Miss Barton expects to take up a hundred children weekly until she has them all under tuelage.

OPPOSE FREE BATH HOUSES
PARK COMlIISSIONF "A YOR CHARG-
 ING 4 SMILL FEE.
Cogent Argument Advanced for That Stand Committee Authorized to Erect Bath House at Quinnipiac Park New Members of the Commission Ap- pointed Upon Committees Last Night.

The park commission held a regular
 meeting last night and the newly ap-
 pointed members, Aldermen Shepard and Hillman, were present for the first | time. The matter of free baths was | discussed at some length and it was finally voted to authorize the committee
 on Quinnipiac Park to erect small bath house in that park for the use of
 the public, This committee will decide whether or not the use of the bath house will be free. During the discussion as to free bath houses the opinion seemed
 to be general that while it might be well to open them for free use on cer- tain days or certain hours of each day it would be advisable to charge a small fee at other times.
 The argument was advanced that to have bath houses free all the time would result in their being monopolized by boys and other irresponsible persons and that people entitled to it would at all times be deprived of their use. It was thought that except for certain free days or hours it would be well to charge at other times than these a small fee so that others than boys would have an op- portunity to use the houses without dis turbance. It was decided that during the free hours it would be necessary to have one or more policemen on duty at the bath houses and that if they were made free all the time policemen would be needed all the while.
 As regards the bath houses to be built at Quinnipiac Park the committee in charge of that park will decide this question.
 The newly appointed members of the commission were appointed upon com mittees and the committees are now made up as follows: Finance commit tee Messrs Townsend, English and Far nam; purchasing lands, Messrs Blake, Townsend and Bradley; restaurant and concessions, Messrs. English, Farnam and Hillman; East Rock Park, Messrs. Farnam, Baldwin and English; Fort Hale Park Messrs. Baldwin, Farnani and Townsend; Fort Wooster Park Messrs. Blake. Townsend and Farnam; Quinnipiac Park, Messrs. Blake, Shep- ard and Baldwin; Bay View Park, Messrs. Blake, Bradley and English; Beaver Ponds Park, Messrs. Bradley, Blake and Hillman; Clinton Park, Messrs. Townsend English and Shep- ard
 Reports were received from the con1- mittee on the various parks, but none other than usual improvements were re- ported. Superintendent Chillingworth of Edgewood Park submitted report con- the marked improvements which have been made at that park, which is now one of the prettiest and pleasantest in the city.
 The bulging out of the wall at the Water street Park is matter to which attention is being given by the park commission. That wall Is built upon piles driven in the mud and the filling material placed back of the wall pressing againstthe piles causes the wall to bulge out No means of stopping it has vet been devised.

The granting of the petition of the Zion Lutheran church for abatement of as- sessment for street sprinkling and of Mrs. B. Kinney for abatement of inter est and lien were recommended if the petitioners would pay the interest by January 1 next.

Fulton for repayment of interest paid upon as sessment for the Dewitt street extension was referred to the corporation counsel for an opinion as to the legality of the claim.

Nearly $5,0OO, ,O00 Bequeathed to Roman Catholic Institutions.

New York, July 14.-The will of Mrs. Mary Johnson, who died on March 10, 1897, leaving property valued at over $5,OO0,000, nearly all of which she be- queathed to Roman Catholic institutions and churches was admitted to probate to-day by Surrogate Varnum. The will was contested by several relatives. Mrs, Johnson was left the property, which was in dispute, by her brother, Stephen Lovejoy who made a fortune in the junk business. Undue influence was charged against the Rev. James Power the rector of the Church of All Saints, and Peter Condon, who were appointed the executors under the will, and it was also alleged that Mrs. Johnson was not of sound mind. Surrogate Varnum de- cided that the testatrix had full testa- mentary capacity at the time that the will was made, and that it was not eX ecuted under any undue influence.
