BRIEFLY TOLD.

j. Neill Gresham Of Jonesboro. Tenn.
a nephew of the late secretary OF state,
w. @. Gresham, has committed suicide
st the Perkins hotel in Portland, Oregon,
by shooting himself through the heart
He was under arrest for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
The discovery has been made that the
legislature in 1897, in revising the Iowa
code, unintentionally provided that here
after Presidential electors shall be chosen
by the Congressional districts instead of
by the state at large. The law as it stands
would probably give the Democratic party
two, and perhaps three electors in the
Presidential election of 1900. The next
legislature will undoubtedly restore the
old law.
The reips are being frightened consider
ably over the liquor dealers of Boston.
They are now being obliged to take their
displays of goods out of their windows
on the ground that they interfere with q
clear view of the bars from the outside.

told Mrs. Morell that he had shot
Edith, and he was going to set tina
buildings on fire and then shoot HIM
self. He went into the barn, and few
minutes later flames broke out there,
and the fire which followed destroyed
the house. barn and outbuldings.
After the Indian Informed Mrs. Mo-

stairs and found Edith on the floor.
In her fright. she ran to a neighbor's
house and got the assistance OF two
men, who removed the girl to a nearby
building, where she breathed her last

no trace had been found of the Indian,

MAST STRENGTHENED.
There Was a Slight Cant in Bic
Steel Stick Of Columbia.
Defect Quickly Remedied at BistoI-Colum.
hla Then Went 10 Newport.

The sloop yacht Columbia left Bristol
yesterday afternoon for Newport. after
having her lower mast Strengthened,
that seeming to be the object Of the
yachts visit to Bristol so soon after
leaving Saturday.
The lower mast was noticed yester-
day. when the yacht was out for a
short spin off Newport, as being can't
ed. little, and those on board were
called to examine it when the fact was
discovered. Word was telegraphed to
the Herreshoffs and arrangements were
at once made for the alteration in the
step Of the mast.
The yacht arrived at Bristol yester-
day morning shortly after o'clock in
tow of the St. Michaels. and the rig
gers from Billman's, who went to
Boston Saturday night, returned on the
early train.
Machinsts from the Herreshoffs'
shops were sent out to the yacht with
their tools. and the work of removing
the braces at the heel of the mast was
begun. The reason for the slight can't
ing of the mast seemed To be that the
mast did not set just square into the
new arrangement which is on the
yacht. The riggers and machinists
worked until yesterday afternoon,
when the job was completed, and there
were extra braces put on before they
left.
The mast was pronounced straight
by Nat Herreshoff. who was on board
the yacht during the time the work
was being done. c. Oliver Iselin spent
a great deal of the time during the day
on the yacht. He had his friend, Her
bert Leeds. with him.
The mast was worked into its place
by means of the turnbuckles on the
standing rigging. The list of the mast
was TO the port side, and rigging on
that side was Stacked trifle, while the
rigging on the starboard side was set
up with the turnbuckles. which moved
the spar just enough to put IL in place.
When the Columbia eft here yester-
day afternoon she was towed down be-
low Hog island by the st. Michaels.
When the yacht reached the open wa
ter below the island she went to New
port under sail.
