dence of Marriage
A dispatch from Boston yesterday says:
Causing the grave of her mother dead
many years to be opened, Mrs. Jennie Kim
ball had taken from the coffin the silver
plate and today produced II in court m
her effort to prove that Oliver s. Foster
and Nellie J. Foster, her parents, were man
and wife.
She also produced photographs OF tomb
stones in the little graveyard at kittery.
Me-. on which the word wife" en-
graved and which. Mrs. Ktmball said had
been placed there by her father, Oliver $.
Foster, a wealthy brick manufacturer OF
Revere.
1t was a feature of a case involving more
than $226,0CO in the probate court, where
Mrs. kimball is meeting the charges OF
uncles and aunts brothers and sisters OF
her father who say that Oliver Foster
never married.
The family Bible had been produced with
been intimated that these Bible writings
are forgeries. Today Edward j. Murphy
who was in the marble business in 1886,
said he had made a tombstone on an order
given to him by Mrs. Kimball. The stone
was for the grave of Nellie j. Foster and
was shipped to kittery. MIR. Murphy never
had any talk with oliver Foster in regard
to 1t. The business was transacted solely
with Mrs. kimball.
Only one aunt appeared as a witness for
Mrs. Kimball. The judge this afternoon de-
clared the Injunction dissolved, so that Mrs

OUR WOUNDED IN CHINA
REPORT FROM SURGEON DECKER
OF THE MONACACY
Hospital Service During the Taku
lombard ment and After the
Tfen Tsin Fight.

Admiral Van Reypen. surgeon general OF
the navy has received a detailed report
from Surgeon c. J. Decker, who was On
board the Monocacy during the assault on
the Taku forts and who later established
q base hospital at Tong Ku, where the
bulk of American, British and Russian
wounded from Tien Tsin were operated
upon and cared for. The report is most
interesting contribution, giving the first
statement of the wounds made by Chinese
shot and shell. the remarkable stoicism
shown by the wounded and the care which
the American surgeons were able to extend
to British, Russian, German, Japanese and
Chinese sufferers. The British officers were
so grateful that Admiral Bruce the British
commander-in- chief, accompanied by his
entire staff, called at the American hospital
to express thanks. and later Admiral Sey-
mour made similar calls
Why the MOnacacy Was Silent
Surgeon Decker first gives graphic de-
scription of the storming of the Taku forts
and explains why the Monocacy did not
reply when she struck by Chinese
shell. 1t appears that she was ordered with
refugees, many of them women and chill
dren, SO that her entering upon the fight
would have jeopardizeed scores of women
and children
o'clock, Surgeon Decker says. Only few
operations were performed on the Monoc-
acy owing to the limited facilities. But
tents were set up on shore, and very soon
eighteen japanese, twenty-tree Russians
and sixteen Chinese were operated upon.
Dr. Decker says the stoicism Of the wound
ed was remarkable In one case-that of a
Cossack whose hand was shockingly mu-
ulated-there were amputations of the
fourth and fifth metacarpal bones and mid
die finger. The Cossack then asked for
something to eat. and after being fed re-
turned to duty. By o'clock the Japanese
surgeons were at work and took all their
wounded. The Russian surgeons also began
work. and the Chinese wounded were car
ried away by their comrades, although one
who was suffering greatly from shock was
kept some days at the American hospital.
The Tong Ku Hospital.
Surgeon Decker then tells of the prepara-
tions for the expected attack on Tien Tsin
Many wounded were looked for. so that ne
secured Admiral Remey's approval for
opening a base hospital at Tong ku, where
the wounded from the front could readily
be brought In the absence of a regular
hospital equipment, the Yorktown. Newark
and Monocacy each contributed spring
beds mattresses, cots. as well as delicactes
and medical supplies. The first or the
wounded from Tien Tsin came in at IL a. m.
| on the 21st of June, including American
marines and some Chinese. For month
| the hospital was busily engaged, AT cases
being recorded. During this time the Eng

| fever, and the American surgeons took

Peculiar Wounds.
Surgeon Decker describes each case,
showing the popularity of wounds made by
Chinese weapons, many of them novel to
military surgery. One of these cases of ex-
treme rarity is that of an American ma
rine, whose picture Is given. showing the
gaping wound torn by a Chinese bullet.
DR.. Decker describes the wound as follows:
"A copper-nickel jacket from Manli,her
bullet became detached in flight, and the
base end-fia tened 1t travelled with sufficient
velocity to enter the thigh, pass through
the left tuberosity of the iscium. The
wound of entrance was five and one-half
inches long. and of exit nearly four inches.
The lead part of the bullet made wound
parallel and Immediately beneath the large
wound Both wounds healed rapidly, in
Spite of being infected. This wound is the
only one of its kind that l have been able
to see hear of, although in the earlier
stages of the development of the modern
jacketted bullet, 1t was proving ground
incident"
Surgeon Decker says the remainder of the
cases treated were mostly plain bullet
wounds or small shell wounds. All of
them healed rapidly, and most of the men
sent back to duty.

1T is estimated at the republican head
quarters that the Endorsement of Mckinley
by John D. Crimmins, leading Catholc.
one of the largest contractors of the United
States and one of the most popular and
widely known in the city, Will carry
with it at least 10000 votes for Mckinley
south of the Bronx. Mr.. Crmmins rea-
sons for supporting Mckinley were stated
by him very clearly and in manner Whicn
appealed with peculiar force to the irish
American and other naturalized voters.
There is a tremendous gold democratic
vote in the city and state. While some or
this vote was inclined during the carrier
stages of the campaign to support Bryan
ii is believed as election day approaches
and the disastrous results of Bryans cleo
ton become daily more apparent that the
great majority of this vote Will be given
to Mckinley. As TO the business nen VINO
are gold democrats this is absolutely GER
tain.
Kings County for Mckinley.
Brooklyn, which comprises Kings county,
will be carried by Mckinley by majority
of from 10000 to 1900. Some OF the re-
publican leaders claim it by 10000. Kings
county has been normally a democratic
stronghold by 2o,O0o and over, but the SEN
timent this fall in the city of churches IS
very strong for Mckinley, there is a
very heavy and decisive Independent vote
there. Brooklyntes are terribly sore on
Croker. AS democratic leader who stands
very close to Boss Mclaughlin said to me.
Croker hogs the whole push and gives us
nothing In fact. three of the congress
sonal districts of Kings county which are
ordinarily surely democratic are now doubt
full The democratic campaign in Brook
lyn is lifeess and listless and 1t is con-
ceded to be the quietest campaign ever had
on that side of the East river The city is
filled with sound money democrats, OF
which 90 per cent will vote for Mckinley.
Queens county, which is a part OF
Greater New York, and has a normal demo-
cratic majority of from 5000 to 5000, Will
probably go for Mckinley for the same rea-
sons which obtain in the adjoining county
Of Kings, and for the additional reason that
the democratic organization turned down
John H. Sutphin as candidate for renoml-
nation for county clerk, which position he
has held for over thirty years. Inasmuch
as Mr. Sutphin was the democratic leader
in the county for over quarter of CEN
tury and is very popular with all classes
the proba bilities are that his friends will
mercilessly knife the ticket. and Boss
Crokers majority south OF the Bronx Will be
reduced just that much.

How Rockefeller Did It.
Seattle Daily Times.

Seattle Daily 4lIneS
 Somebody asked William R. Hearst, publisher of The New York Journal, how John D. Rockefeller obtained his wealth, and where he got his first start.
 To this Hearst responded thus:
 "When Rockefeller was a mere boy he went to work for man named Norman Williams, a sewer pipe manufacturer as a bookkeeper.
 Rockefeller read everything he could get hold of on the subject of oil, and finally persuaded Williams to go into the oil business.
 "He bored a we'll in Williams cellar, and the house was flooded with oil. The young bookkeeper, working for probably s15 a month, soon became wealthy.
 "This wealth has grown by devious methods into the gigantic sum of al most S3OOOOOOOO. Rockefeller has giv- en away nearly s1O.OOO.OO0 to charity, SO called, but nothing in particular to the poor who need it most. The number of employees working directly and indirect Iy in his behalf, from senators up to bootblacks, is probably 5OOOO,"
