An Important Ruling.

AS to the stamping of t'ils OF ladlag

of the goods, G. w. Wilson. commits.

minds of many railway attorneys at
ease. Recently attorneys asked the
commissioner of internal revenue for q
definite ruling on the two questions.
Commissioner Wilson held that tbs
two questions embodied substantially
the same proposition, and this is tie
ruling he made:
1.-THE law provides that 1t shall be the
duty OF every carrier to issue to the
shipper or consignor, or his agent, o.
person from whom any goods are ac.

idence of receipt and forwarding, such
as memorandum receipt or dray tick

ESCAPED FROM INSANE ASYLUM,
MichaeI Ford Passes Unnoticed Through
Gates Mt Middletown

Middletown, Aug. 7.-MichaeI Ford
an inmate at the insane asylum at this
place, escaped from the institution some
time this afternoon, and up to a late
hour tonight had not been captured.
Although the authorities at the asy-
lum are not disposed to offer much in
formation on the subject, it was learned
that Ford, who is about forty years
of age, was not considered a dangerous
character, not being violently insane.
For this reason he was allowed many
privileges not accorded violent patients.
and wandered at will about the walled
and guarded enclosure about the build
ings. 1t is supposed that Ford had tired
of his enforced confinement and, to-day,
when an opportunity was given him,
he passed unnoticed through one of the
gates and fled. The officials at the in
sane asylum thisi evening would give
no particulars regarding the man, and
only would say that though he had not
as yet been apprehended, they expected
that be would be before morning.

FOUR KEEPERS ARRESTED.
Believed Responsible for Death OF u
Wnrd,s Island Patient.

New York, Aug. An examination
of the body of James Mcclure formerly
a paretic patient at the Manhattan state
hospital on Wards Island, who died in
that institution on Saturday, led to the
arrest tonight of four keepers, Thomas
Sexton, Patrick Ryan, Daniel O'Connell
and Martin White, who may have to
answer to a charge Of murder. The ar
rests We're made on the strength of the
report of Coroner's Physician Hamilton
Williams, who conducted the post NOR
tenn and reached the conclusion that
Mcclure met death by violence. Scarce
ly spot on the dead mans body was
free from bruises which apparently were
the result of pressure from the knees
of the attendants. From his head to
knees deep blue dents were discernable.

self had been torn almost to ribbons.
The kidneys and liver had been badly
bruised and there was a large abrasion
at the back of the head.

Syveeny Defeats G0Idstriu.

New York Aug. Patsy Sweeney of
Manchester, H. N, made a chopping
block of Hiram Goldstein of Buffalo for
eight rounds before the Coney Island
Sporting club tonight and had his op-
ponent so nearly out in the beginning
of the ninth that Goldsteins seconds
threw up the sponge. Goldstein was
outclassed from the opening round.
Two thousands persons witnessed the
bout. Jack Bennett of Pittsburg and
Billy Hill of Boston fought twenty-four
interesting rounds. Bennett did all the
work and Hill made only a few efforts
to hit back. Hill clinched frequently
and was disqualified in the twenty
fourth round for holding in clinch.
The bout was awarded to Bennett.

THE HORROR NEAR BAR HARBoR.
Coroner's Inquest Begins-Testimony of
a bridge builder.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. THE open
ing of the coroner's inquest into yester-
days frightful accident at Mount Desert
ferry when twenty persons lost their
lives and a score or more were badly
hurt, has brought to the surface, as 1T
were, an especially keen interest in the
accidents cause. The coroners inquest
was to have begun early in the morn
ing, but the absence Of a stenographer
delayed the proceedings until after noon
and then it proceeded slowly as testi-
mony had to be taken in long hand.
Several persons We're examined, but the
most important witness was William
Witham of Lisbon. foreman of the
bridges for the Maine Central, who built
the gangWay last June. He described
the plan of construction, and said that
he believed the accident was caused by
the nuts on the supporting iron rods
pulling through the outer cross piece,
and then the timbers were not strong
enough to stand the extra strain thrown
upon them. Asked why washers or
plates were not put under the nuts he
said he built the slip as instructed. The
railroads attorney, Mr. Chadbourne, ar
rived late in the afternoon and asked
for adjournment for another day, which
was granted.

AN ATTEMPT AT MURDER
WIFE or A TE.4LTHY NEW YORK Err
FOUND UNCONSCIO
Cuffs Stained with BIOod-He Says He
Received the Stains While Lifting the
Stricken Woman Out of the Hall
Where She Was Found.

New York, Aug. Mrs. Annie Kron-
man, wife Of Nathan Kronman, a
wealthy fruit commission merchant,
was found in their home on Eighth ave-
nue. tonight unconscious with two five
inch gashes in the back of her head.
Beside her on the floor lay a bloody
hatchet. The fiat was in perfect order
and Mrs. Kronman's jewelry, valued at
several thousand dollars, had not been
disturbed. There was no evidence of a
struggle. The woman had evidently
been struck down while passing through
the private hallway. Mr. Kronman was
formally placed under arrest late to-
night. He is charged with having mur-
derously assaulted his wife.
The police say they have learned that
woman had been much in Kronman's
company of late and that she called
frequently at his place of business.
kronman and the woman, the police
say, would spend several hours in each
others company on such occasions
kronman was seen to leave his place
of business tonight accompanied by
the woman and he admits that he did
not reach home until o'clock His
cuffs were found to be stained with
blood, but he explained that he received
the stains while lifting his wife out Of
the hall, where he had found her uncon-
Scious.

Annie K. Williams Infltcts Severe
wound on Annie Kelley.

There was stabbing affray on Web
ster street about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, and the wound inflicted may
prove a serious one. Annie Kelley of
Highwood was on a visit to Annie E.
Williams Of AZ Webster street when the
two women got into some kind Of
squabble, probably due to jealousy on
the part of the Williams woman. Many
and harsh were the words used, until
finally the Kelley woman was stabbed
with a butcher knife midway between
her neck and shoulder, the wound in
flicted being over two inches deep and
an inch wide. If the knife had gone
straight in instead of slanting, as it
did, the blade would have penetrated
the lung and caused almost instant
death. The wound was very painful
one and bled freely. DR.. Kirby was
called and dressed the wound, after
which the women were both arrested
and taken to the Dixwell avenue police
station to await the result of the injury.
Sergeant McGrath and Patrolmen Fry
and Flynn made the arrest.

BuFEA1o's GRAND CrRcU1r MEET
Two Stakes Decided Ycstcrday-Fred
| KOhPs Pretty Work.

Buffalo, Aug, Two stakes were
decided at the opening of the Buffalo
Driving clubs grand circuit meeting at
the Fort Erie, Ont, track to-day before
about $500 persons. The prettiest work
of the day was done by Fred Kohl in
the trotting for 2:13 performers Kohl
sold but third choice to Charley Herr
and Tudor Chimes, respectively, in the
pools, but Dickerson kept him on his
feet in good shape and he reeled off
three heats handily. Billie Andrews, a
warm favorite for the pacing stake, had
no trouble in landing the prize. The
2:2S trot resulted in the best contest of
the day Derby Lass and Volo We're the
favorites and Tessie S. was an outsider.
After Tessie had been nipped at the
wire in the third heat Starr laid her
up three heats. He won the sixth by
several lengths but the failure of the
others to try harder aroused disapprov-
ing comment in the judges stand. Sum-

NATIoNAL RETAIL BUTCHERS.
Convention in New YOrk-Importance
or Fighting the Meat-Trust.

New York, Aug. THE convention
of the National Retail Butchers Mutual
Protective association was opened at
Terrace Garden, this city, to-day. Three
hundred delegates from all over the
country were present. President Shat
fer of the New York and National asso-
Citations presided and delivered an ad-
dress of welcome. i. F. Callahan of
Springfield, Mass, president of the east
ern division of the association, was the
principal speaker of the day. Mr.. Cal
lahan declared that it was the duty of
the retail meat dealers to take measures
immediately to fight the trust in their
industry. He said the meat industry
represented more money than any other
industry and if harmony prevailed
among the retailers they would be able
to tight the trust and beat it.
The principal business of the after
noon was heated discussion of the
associations attitude toward the Cleve-
land Provision company. The associa-
tlon contends that a wholesaler should
not sell direct to the customer, and this
the Cleveland Provision company had
persisted in doing. About six months
ago a preference against the goods of
the company was declared. Although
no decisive action was taken to-day the
sentiment was unanimous in favor of
continuing the discrimination or pref
efence. A new constitution and by
laws for the eastern branch of the as
soc1ation We're adopted. This was made
necessary by the decision of the national
oody one year ago. AT the night session
much enthusiasm was aroused by the
addresses of those who urged that the
members of the association unite in an
offensive and defensive warfare against
the wholesale dealers who at the same
time sold at retail

YELLOW FEVER IT HAMPTON
one New Case Mt the Soldiers Home De
velOpcd Yesterday

Newport News, Va, Aug. 7.-One new
case of yellow fever developed at the
National Soldiers home to-day. There
were no deaths This is the official re-
port. The case found to-day is the first
reported since last Thursday night.
There is now no doubt that the back
bone of the yellow fever epidemic is
broken and in two weeks it is probable
that the scourge will be thing of the
past. The quarantine, however, will be
raised before that time, as the situation
is improving SO rapidly that it will be
unnecessary to block business and traf-
fic after the new few days. A house to
house canvass of Phoebus by a sur
geon with his assistants developed no
new cases nor any under suspicion.

London, Aug THE lord advocate
of Scotland, the Rt. Hon. A. G. Murray,
@. c., replying in the house of commons
to-day to question, said that if An
drew Carnegie had not been naturaliz-
ed a British subject he could not act as
a justice of the peace in Sutherland
shire, to which office he has Just been
appointed. The lord advocate also said
that he had no knowledge of the facts
in the case, except that he saw in the
newspapers that Mr.. Carnegie had been
appointed a deputy lieutenant. He was
not aware whether Mr.. Carnegie was
naturalized or not, and undoubtedly the
lord chancellor and lord lieutenant did
not know the circumstances when they
made the appointment.
