Harry Chadwick Killed by Joseph
Iiough in Connecticut.

CHESTER, CONN. July Hilary
Chadwick. "a years old, Of New Britain,
was murdered last night by Joseph
Hough, 30 years of age, who then at
tempted to kill himself by cutting his own
throat. Chadwick's body has not been
found and the details Of the tragedy are
not fully known. Chadwick came here
Saturday night 10 visit Miss Mary smith,
10 whom he was paying attention. HOugh,
who boarded with the Smith family, was
also enamoured Of the young woman.
THREW HIM IN THE RIVER.
Late this evening IT was stated that
Hough had admitted to Alden Smith, a
brother Of the girl. that he killed Chad
wick and threw his body into the river.
He is said TO have stated that he sought
TO scare Chadwick, Ind that an alterca-
ton resulted during which Chadwick
drew a razor and cut him on the side OF
the face He then chOked Chadwick
until he was supposed 70 be- unconscious
but later found he was dead. He then
dragged the young mans body 10 the
river, where he threw 1t in. Riding home
he took his own razor from a drawer, in
tending TO commit suicide. when he felt
himself growing faint and called for
help. The family on entering his room,
round razor i'm his hand lie is in a
critical condition.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ROBIN
IL Has Created Much Talk md Hurt
the Administration.

WASHINGTON, d. g, July 1.-(spe-
cial. THE publication Of the round
robin" of the American newspaper men
at Manila. revolving against the rigid CEN
sorshsp OF General Otis. created quite
sensation in political circles in Washing
ton. While leading officials would not
discuss the matter for publication, Il was
conceded that the effect of the disclosures
would be hurtful to the administration.
KEPT BUSY APOLOGIzING.
The news contained in the cable dis
patch from the American newspaper men
only confirms the information that has
from time to time found its way home
by private sources-to-wit that the real
facts were being withheld. and that the
campaign I'm the Philippines was one mass
of blunders and mistakes.
The friends OF the administration have
some difficulty In apologlzing for the adj
minstration or meeting the criticism OF
those who differ with Mr.. McKinleys
policies. IL is argued by them that If the
President did not know the facts he
should remove Otis from command for
having withheld them, while II he was
cognizant of the real state OF affairs he
should not have tarried 50 long IA pro-
curing reinforcements.
IT WILL DETER ENLIsTMENTs.
1t is generally felt that tho published
statement will have the effect OK deter
ring enlistments in the provisional army
for II the conditions are as bad as rep
resented the enistments, now so SLOW,
will be even more unsatisfactory.

Up Nearly Fifteen NIinutes-TrOublc

Began With an Arrest.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July IA special
to the Courier Journal from London KY,
tells Of report reaching there Of the
outbreak Of another feud in Clay county,
by which five men lost their lives to-day.
The dead are said 90 be:
ROBERT PHILPOT.
ED. FISHER.
AARON MORRIS.
JIM GRIFFIN.
HUGH GRIFFIN.
These fatalities resulted from pitched
battle fought near Little Goose Creek,
three miles from Manchester.
HISTORY OF THE FEUD.
The feud dates back nearly two years.
on Christmas, 1897, James Philpot was
killed by Aaron Morris. but before he
died he shot and killed William Bundy
a friend Of Morriss. The Morrises and
Grihns were closely affiliated. Since then
the feeling between the two factions has
been very bitter, and it has been aroused
recently by the White-Baker hostilities.
The Philpots. who are the strongest fac
ton in the mountains, numbering about
40 voters, openly espoused the cause OF
the Bakers. while the Grifiins took sides
with the Whites.
TROUBLE CAUSED BY AN ARREST.
The story that reaches here from Man
chester is to the effect that Bob Philpot
was arrested this morning by Deputy
Sheriff Wash Thacker While very cir
cumstantiaI in other respects, the report
does not show clearly the origin of the
trouble. nor give the reason for Philpots
arrest.
1t is said that while Thacker was tax
ing Philpots bond the latter was smut
from behind by a member OF crown
that had gathered. This precipitated a
general fight with Winchesters ana re-
volvcrs. which was participated in by
george Granville. Robert. and Peter Phil
not and Ed. Fisher. on one side ana
Aaron Morris, Hugh, Jlm ana NIeen
Griffin on the other.
BATTLE RACED FIFTEEN MINUTES.
The battle began at about o'clock ana
ragged fercely for ten or fifteen minutes.
When il was over Il was found that hVe
men had been killed OutlibhAf thi'' 80
the belligerents were seriously wounded,
while Peter Philpot was the only one on
either side 10 escape injury Granville
Phflpot is said to be one Of the most se-
riousIy wounded lie is a Union veteran
having lost a leg at stone River He IS
an ex-member of the Kentucky Iegisla-
ture. and is said 20 have killed three or
four men. Ed. Fisher who is reported
dead. is another man with several nicks
I'm his cane. He was but % years old, but
is said TO have killed three men.
\ REIGN OF TERROR.
An effort was at once begun to secure
DEPUTIES 10 go to the scene of the trouble
ana attempt TO restore quiet. but mp TO
late hour I'm the afternoon there had not
been enough responses 10 make up
force that would command respect. the
situation at Manchester is deplorable
Since morning the place has been IN a
state Of terror, scarcely any one daring
to venture out of doors Business IS sus-
pended. and the residents are momenta-
rfiy expecting a renewal of hostillues.
