No Renewal Of Race Riots in New
York Last Night.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.-The trouble be-
tween the blacks and whites in this city
seems completely over tonight. The dis
trict in when the rioting occurred on
Wednesday night was peaceful all day,
but enough police to queil any disturbance
that might arise We're held in reserve all
day and night in the nearby police sta
tions Chief Deverey and Inspector Thomp-
son made their headquarters in the Thirty
seventh Street station. Chief Deverey
drove through the streets occupied by ne
groes early this evening, but he saw moth
ing to cause him to think that there would
be more rioting.
Eishth Avenue and the intersecting
streets from Thirty-fourth to Forty-sec-
ond were again crowded tonight, and on
each block there were three or four uni
formed policemen on duty. The crowd for
the most part was made up Of boys. Some
of these youngsters were armed with
sticks and were troublesome. and Chief
Deverey, realizing the probability of an
outbreak from some slight disturbance
caused by them, sent from the West Thir-
ty-seTenth Street station at 8 o'clock
dozen bicycle policemen and score OF
plain clothes men to drive them away.
Half an hour later boys were hard to find
in Eighth Avenue.

ARSENIC KILLED HERRICK.
Analysis Reveals The Drug in the
Dead Hans Stomach.

CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-Arsenic in deadly
quantities has been found in the stomach
OF Edward P. Herriek, the aged commits
SIGN merchant who died under mysterious
conditions on the evening of August 9.
The presence of the poisonous drug was
revealed by chemical analysis Of
the stohlach's contents. confirming the
previous discovery of the coroner's physi
clan, Joseph Springer, by whom traces of
poison were detected when the autopsy
was held
1t is suspected that two other sub
stances, antinony and mercury. are also
to be found in the brokers' stomach. But
there has not been sufficient time to COM
plete the chemical tests for these drugs,
and Prof. Mark Delafontaine who is con-
Quoting the analysis, has asked that the
inquest, set for today, be postponed until
next Wednesday.
Supplementing the sensational discovery
as to the presence Of arsenic is another
result of a chemical test Ii has dem
onstrated the theory that Herrick may
have come TO his death as the result of
his practice of self-doctoring with drugs
in tablet form of the kind found in
homeopathic chest which was in use in
the Herricli household.
SO little poison was in these medicine
ldDittS lhat II HdS DeSH eSliHiateu DH eA-
psrts in the case that the old man would
not have -een killed had he taken whole
hox OF them at one time.
1t is asserted. therefore, that under
no conceivable conditions was there
possibility that medical tablets
could have caused Herrick's death.
The result of the chemical analy-
sis CT the stomach makes matters look
dark for Mrs. Herrick. and the suspicion
is strengthened by the fact that no less
than seven other deaths under equally
mysterious circumstances have occurred at
different lines in her household.

A PIONEER SETTLER
Mrs. Martha Hugunin, Formerly of
Kenosha, Passes Away at Boon
vile, Mississippi, Sunday.
CAME TO THIS CITY IN 1885.

Her Husband. the Late Edgar Hugunin,
Built the First House on Washing ton
Island and Was Member of the west
ern Emigration co... Which Founded the
citv.-Remains to Be Brought Here For
Burial in the Future.
Mrs. Martha Hugunin, widow of the
late Edgar Hugunin, formerly of Ke-
nosha, died at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. Walter ]. Fox, in Boon
vile, Miss, on Sunday, the 10Th of
April. Mrs. Hugunin had been quite
Ill for three months. First she was
attacked by the grip and before she
had recovered from that she was taken
with a stomach trouble, which was
thought would prove fatal. But by
tender nursing and good medical treat
ment she once more recovered, so as to
be able to sit up for short time. But
last Thursday she was taken with an
influenza which is quite prevalent there
now. She was too weak from her pre-
vious attacks to rally again, so passed
away as peacefully as going to sleep.
The dear old lady had many friends in
Kenosha who will be sorry to hear of
her death.
The death of Mrs. Martha Hugunin
will make deep inroad into the ranks
of those early pioneers of this city.
Her husband, Edgar Hugunin, had the
honor of being one of the very first
settlers of the county. He came with
his wife from the East to this city in
1885 and was one Of the members of
the Western Emigration Company
formed at Oswego, New York, for the
purpose of settling the southeastern
part of this State. Mrs. Hugunin had
always taken an important place in
the development of the county. She
resided in this county and State until
four years ago when she went to Boone
vile to live with her daughter. Two
children survive, Mrs. Walter Fox,
and one son, Edgar Hugunin.
The remains will not be brought to
! this city at the present time, but will
probably be brought here for interment
in the family lot at the city cemetery
later in the year.
The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Hugunin has caused profound
sorrow among the early settlers,
among which the deceased was always
a great favorite.

Hay, Attorney General Griggs and

Who Had Been Threatening the Life o.
His Mother.

of A. J. Wilcox, two miles from Lake
City, Calhoun county, Ia, William,
the 17-year-old son Of Wilcox, shot and
instantly killed his father. He then
drove to Lake City and gave himself
up 10 the authorities.
It appears that the father had been
threatening the life of the mother. The
son had protested in vain. The lad
says that when his father obdurately
declared he would carry out his threats
against the mother he fired a shotgun
with which he had armed himself point
blank into his fathers breast.
