his crime was only the first episode in
the general execution of several Euro

The police quickly discovered that a
certain Angelo Bresci lived here two
years ago. and was closely watched as
an Anarchist.
The description of this man is almost
the same as that sent by the Italian de-
tectives, yet IL remains TO be seen
whether the two men are one and the

Paris. July 31.-Count Boni de Castel-
lane, the hero of the duel. has received a
base and brutal insult under which his
patrician soul writhes in anguish.
President Loubets ex-outrider, Mont

Poor dc Castellane sobbed bitter tear,
and then calling nacre drove Ia his
home around the corner and told his
wife his troubles.
She was overheard telling bosom
friend, and soon all Paris was laughing
at the De Castellanes, who had been so
grossly insulted
Montjarret said 10 a reporter:

Industrial Trust Company Votes
a Semi-AnnuaI One Of Three
Per Cent.

For the first time in many years the
Industrial Trust Company directors. to-
day. voted a per cent. semi-annual divi-
dend.
In fact. II is so long since this thing
has occurred that Col Samuel p. Colt.
the president. cannot recall, offhand,
when IL did take place.
The board OF directors met in semi-an-
nual session at l1.30 a. m, today, Col.
Colt presiding.
The president announced that the COM
pany had had prosperous year. and
business seems to be good, and that was
all there was 10 II.
The vote was unanimous.
The largest semi-annual dividend paid
by the Industrial Trust Company previ-
Gus TO this time. for some years past,
was 2h per cent.
Before that they paid . per cent. for
several years.
Col. Colt only smiled when the News
mar asked for figures, and said: We've
had a prosperous year. that's all.

Inquiries in all directions, but the infor-

ci. is not yet very definite. IL appears
that when he was looking for lodgings on
Friday at Monza he was accompanied by
a young man, whom the police are now
seeking
The pistol the ASSASSIN used was new
and superior weapon, marked "Massa-
chusctts."
The police OF Milan searched tho house
of man named Ranella, and. IL is re-

that Bresci had relations with persons in
the United States and that communica-
ton had passed between him and them
i'm connection with the crime.
DISCUSSED BIG SCHEME.
Bresci and another Tuscan freauented
the cafes i'm Milan, where they were over
heard discussing a big scheme that
would astonish the world.
Everything goes to show that the crime
was long premeditated and the police are
now being charged with want OF fore
sight.
IL appears that the cordons formed up
on the arrival of the king at fete ground
were withdrawn prior to his departure.
As the king was leaving a sort OF scuf-
he occurred. probably prearranged to
distract the attention OF the Carbineers.
The king was so pleased with his well

turned to his aide and said: I'D like to
return afoot." But he was dissuaded.

Agent Hilton OF the Winsor line, whose
wharf property adjoins that of the Mer-
chants and Miners company, is out of
the city enjoying a sojourn in New
Hampshire, but IL was learned that the
company would also be a sufferer by the
removal OF the tracks.
The Wfnsor line handles all freight for
the Blackstone Valley through Provi-
dence. and has a spur track running on 10
its wharf. Quite a large number of
freight cars are handled daily.
The removal OF the tracks would make
a very mateyial difference to the business
of the company and would probably re-
suit in an increase of freight xates.
MR.. WHITES OPINION.
To Messrs. John r.. White & Son, coaa
merchants. who have a large wharf prop
erty on India street. with spur tracks
running on TO the wharf. the removal of
these India street tracks will entail N se-
we're loss.
Mr.. White says that he cannot see how
the coal cars can be handled. with the
very limited facilities that will remain,
In a satisfactory manner.
The Clyde line, which has it's wharf on
South Water street, IL not affected by the
rail question. as II has no spur tracks
running TO its wharf property. All OF
the Clyde line freight is hauled to and
from the steamers by teams.

THE NEWS FREE ICE MAKING
MANY HOMES HAPPIER.

To give an idea of the demand for the
Earl Carpenter e. Sons Company stated
this morning that each day the free ice
wagons go out filled with ice almost TO
the very top.
They return at the end OF the two hours

That is, although nine times out of ten
some ice is returned, 1t is seldom more
than so or 100 pounds that come back.
When the distributing stations were
first established II was largely matter
of experiment. this gentleman states,
and frequently more ice was returned
than was given away.
Now, however. the opposite is the case
and I'm a few instances. even, the ice has
given out because a.ter emptying the
wagon the driver did not have time to

pany ON India street will have to be re-

This naturally calls attention to the fact
that while the Consolidated railroad may

The real sufferers are the merchants
and corporations doing business on South
