Tenth Immunes Use
Revolvers.
BULLET rs FLEW.
Colored Soldiers Fire From
Car Windows.

Atlanta, Ca, March Sth.-The Tenth
immunes, colored, who were mustered
out at Macon today, as the train bear
ing them home was moving out of Ma
con. produced revolvers and other
arms and began firing from the car
windows.
Bullets flew in all directions, but only
one person, white boy, was injured.
At various stations on the road shots
were fired from the train at persons
standing on the platforms. At Griffin
200 shots were fired, from the first sec
ton of the train by the negroes who
had been drinking whisky and who
yelled like Indians.
When the second section came along
a militia company and 100 armed cit
liens were at the station and kept the
negroes quiet. When the train pulled
out from the depot and the negroes
thought they were out Of reach of the
citizens, they began firing at houses.
At the first shot volley was poured
into the train by the citizens and mill
tia George Agee, train man. was
fatally shot, and one negro was slight
ly wounded. There was no trouble in
Atlanta, as the police were prepared
for them.

NAVAL WARFARE
British Admiral on the Les
sons of Late War.

London March S.--Vfce Admiral
Philip Howard Colombo, retired, lee
tured this afternoon on the lessons of
the Spanish American war before the
United Service institutions.
Dealing with the imposs1bility Of Sc
crecy in warfare hereafter owing to the
vigilance of the press, and the necessity
for protecting cables in shallow water,
he thought that if Spain had showed
real comprehension of strategy the
United States would not have been SO
successful.
The sure way for the United States
would have been for her to send a suffi-
cient force to the coast of Spain to ball
ance the forces known to have been In
Spanish ports and to send squadron
to Cape Verde islands the moment 1t
was known Spanish flotilla was as
sembling there. And, he added, If the
island Of Minorca had been seized as a
base. nothing offensive on the other
side of the Atlantic would have been
attempted by Spain.
The lesson to be deduced was ac-
cording to the lecturer, that the Ameri-
can strategy was hazardous, In so far
as it departed from the rules of naval
war. Admiral Cervera's ships were lost
sight OF, causing anxiety on the Ameri-
can coasts and the Americans kept a
considerable squadron wholly in q de-
fensive attitude, instead OF maintaining
command of the sea.
From the actions between the Spanish
forts and the American ships he de-
Quoted the idea that very inefficient
batteries were able to keep ships at a
distance. Regarding the purely tactical
questions involved. the admiral said It
was plain that Admiral Dewey took full
advantage of the superiority of his guns
and gunners and placed himself in. so
distant a position that neither the
Spanish ships nor the Spanish batteries
were able to adequately reply 10 his fire
The whole thing, continued the lecturer,
was terribly business-like on the
American side, with a pathetic parade
of quixotic gallantry on the other" In
conclusion, Admiral Colombo comment
ed upon the fact that all orders to the
American ships were sent from Wash
ington, which he considered was a mo-
mentous change in naval warfare.

The HOUSE.

The committee reported a bill in the
House appropriating $4,000 for the
work of exterminating the gypsy moth
and $25, 900 for DISCRIMINATING the brown
tail moth.
The committee on taxation reported
leave to withdraw on the petition that
educational institutions shall not be
exempted from taxation; on the petit
ton to authorize cities and towns to
receive partial payments of taxes on
undivided piece of real estate, and on
the petition to limit the exemption of
literary and scientific institutions from
taxation to state taxes only.
Mr.. Toomey of Boston made a force
full plea for the substitution of the bill
requiring fire insurance companies to
pay total losses on all policies for the
adverse report of the committee on in
surance. Mr.. Tolman of Pittsfield and
Mr.. Whall of Boston opposed substitu-
ton and Mr.. Mellen of Worcester spoke
for the bill. Mr.. Apsey of Cambridge
and Mr.. Davenport of Greenfield fig
ured in the debate. Mr. Crouch Of
Northampton spoke for the report of
the committee. The report was rejected
-107 to Al.
Mr.. Driscoll of Chicopee made a
strong fight against the adverse report
of the judiciary committee on his bill
allowing 60 days notice before furni-
ture or personal property sold on the
instalment plan can be taken away for
non-payment.
On rising vote the bill was rejected
-43 to 41-but Mr.. Driscoll made the
point of no quorum.

BR00KFlELD TRAGEDY,
Man Who Robbed a Farmer In Canada
Thought to Be the Murderer of the Z
Newton Family---A Picture of
the Suspect to Be Sent
to Worcester

Another Paul Mueller suspect has
been arrested and is now in the hands
of the police at Montreal, who will hold
him until the Massachusetts authori-
ties have been heard from
The dispatch which came over the
Associated Press wire shortly after
midnight this morning. stated that a
foreigner who calls himself Joe" had
been arrested by Montreal detectives
on the charge of robbing a farmer.
When the man was examined at
police headquarters, his personal APP
pearance was found to agree with that
of the murderer Paul Mueller, who
killed the Newton family at Brookheld
a year ago last January with an axe.
The Montreal detectives will photo
graph their prisoner and send a picture
to this city
The Montreal officers are sang1ine in
their belief that the man Joe" whom
they have in custody, is the person
wanted for the Brookfeld murder.

TRAGEDY.
Dakest Crime of a
Century.
H. MONKS.
Witness in Bran Trial So
journs in Worcester.

Lester H. Monks, the Harvard stu
dent who figured SO conspicuously in
the celebrated trial of Mate Bran for
the murder of Skipper and Mrs. Nash.
left last evening ON the o'clock train
for Boston, after two days visit in
Worcester.
Mr.. Monks took dinner at the Bay
State Monday, where he was registered
with a friend from Boston, and during
the rest of the sojourn hare, has been
the guest of classmate of his at Har-
ward. Mr.. Monks has been in Worces-
ter several times, but has never been
recognized during his trips here, as he
has not relished the noeoriety thrust
upon him by the Bran trial, and has
preferred to remain incognito. Mr..
Monks was an honor student at Har-
ward, and one of the closest personal
friends is classmate who lives in this
city.
He was one of the passengers on the
Inflated barkentine Herbert E. Fuller,
which witnessed one Of the darkest and
most mysterious ocean tragedies of the
worlds history. Even to this day Mr.
Monks thinks of the experience with
horror, and never refers to the matter
unless he is pressed to do so.
He was on trip for his health at the
time the Herbert Fuller" under Capt.
Nash, made her memorable voyage, and
through his knowledge of seamanship,
he had endeared himself to the captain
and crew. When the first trial of the
case came up in the United States dis
trict court. and Mate Bran, who has
been twice tried for the offence, was
held on an indictment for the double
murder of Capt. Nash and his estima-
BILE wife. Mr.. Monks was the central
figure. Great expectations were placed
on his testimony, and during the early
stages of the case, he occupied a CON
spicuous position before the eye of the
public. His testimony was hoped al
the time to hold the key to the solution
but the solution has never been reach
ed, and people to this day discuss the
horrible butchery at sea with bated
breath.
Mr.. Monks testimony at the trial OF
Bran was intensely interesting, and
was largely influential in determining
the result. An appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court, after the
jury finally found Bran guilty, and af-
ter hard fought legal battle, in which
Bram's counsel contested every point
tooth and nail. Bran is now serving q
life sentence.
When seen at union station, Mr.
Monks did not care to discuss the case
The exactions made upon him while a
witness were so great that he does not
like to recall the circumstances, and he
fatty refuses to speak of the incidents
of the terrible night, when on board the
Herbert Fuller" Capt. Nash and his
wife lost their lives in one of the most
flendish and brutal crimes Of the centu-

the cities of the state.
He said the system was especially
followed in New York city and Brook
Ign, but that there was moro or less
Of it in Rochester, Utica and Syracuse
and other like cities. In cities of the
latter class, however, the conditions
were better than in the former, as
We're the prices also. The operative re-
ceived an average of say As cents for
sack coats in those towne, while in
brooklyn and New York the prices ran
from SO to SO cents.
Even at these prices the people
seemed to feel that they enjoyed many
comforts in comparison with what they
had experienced in their European
homes.
Il went into this work." said Mr..
OLeary, full of sympathy for the
people, but it has all passed away.
Their condition is due entirely to their
own habits and characters. They are
filthy and dishonest and have no am
bition to improve the situation He
added that the women were less clean
ly than the men. Mr.. O'Leary also said
that many of the houses were full Of
the vermtn and that one of the great
difficulties was to free clothing taken
from these establishments from this

thought there was no more filthy spot
In the world--not only in the tenements
themselves, but in the streets and in
the surroundings of the houses. 1T is
one OF the worst pest holes on EARTH )"
was his language.
He also spoke of the sanitary condi-
tions about the sweat shop tenements,
saying that the system was positively
detrimental to the public health. His
deputy inspectors had often found
clothing in process of manufacture in
rooms in which there were children
with such contagious diseases as diph-
liberia, measles, etc
Nearly all engaged in this work were
foreigners, not as many as per cent
being Americans. The worst offenders
were the Poles, Italians and Jews
Mr. O'Leary said that his men had
found army clothing being made in the
sweat shops, and in those cases the pri-
ces were: For soldiers cape overcoats
SO cents; for vests, from IL to IA cents;
for infantry trousers from % to rs
cents and for cavalry trousers, from
20 to So cents.
