sand beach about thousand yards
from his home. The native reported
the matter to the family of the de-
ceased. a native woman, and they III
turn informed Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Trimble. The body remained in the
same position on the beach until the
arrival of Mr.. Trimble who immedi-
ately subpoeaned six native jurymcn
who held an inquest over the body.
The abdomen was terribly cut up,
the intestines being entirely separated
from the body. The right wrist WAS
badly injured, while the left arm was
found about forty feet away which
proved that the unfortunate man mt 81

of the explosive. The coroner decided
that Fugita met death by the acciden-
tai explosion of giant powder used by
the deceased. The unfortunate man
was employed by Mr.. j. +. Brown to

gans Suddenly Grogan ceased struggling
and starting towards the house he said /:
- Charles, you've murdered NO." East
man stood still for brief time and then
he, too, started for the house. Witness
said the men apparently were struggling
for the possession of revolver, of which
Eastman held tho butt, the muzzle being
towards Grogan.
The next witness was Belle Bryan,
serv ant at the house where the shooting
occurred. She testified that on the after.
noon OF July 4, hearing cries, she ran
down stairs and saw Grogan run past the
rear steps of the house and then fall down
upon the embankment crying "I've been
murdered.
The witness saw that Eastman had an
old revolver in his hand at the time.
Mrs Mary AIillner, a professional nurse,
was the next witness. On the afternoon
of July 4, she was attracted to the Clark
estate and saw Gorgan lying on the
ground Eastman was also there. Gro
gan said, looking at Eastman, "There is
the man who shot me, p" and Eastman re-
sponded saying Yes, ] did kill him, but
did not mean it. 1t was an accident. =
Then Mrs. Miner turned to Grogan
and said Mr.. Eastman did not mean to
kin him. He said it was an accident.
Grogan responded by saying "He did
mean it. =" The witness went on to testify
that during the conversation Eastnan
looked frightened and Mortified. On
cross examination, when Grogan was
talking he seemed to be maddened and
angry.
Leroy P. Pillson was next on the
stand. He was in that vicinity and
hearing cries went over and saw Grogan
lying on the terrace. He heard Grogan
say "No, I saw him do it purposely.''
George S. Hutohins testified that he
saw Grogan after the shooting and also
Eastman who was bending over the dying
man. Grogan declared Eastman had
murdered me. He shot me twice. he did
it purposely."
Eastman simply shook his head, while
Grogan was talking. A little later Gro
gan repeated the words. Yes, he did it,
yes, he did it.
Lewis S. Thayer, also saw Grogan and
the latter said to him: Eastman has
murdered me. He shot me twice.
Witness asked Eastman how it happened
and Eastman said he would tell him all
about it but then he walked away with

MURDER IN BOSTON.


Boston, July 17.-Tomaso Scaparelli
was killed tonight by Paolo f. LaConte,
and the assassin narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands OF an angry crowd of
market men and teamsters who had pur-
sued and captured him. The two Italians
had been playing cards during the after
noon and it said that La Conte lent
ScaparelI $40. Shortly before 5 O'Clock
La Conte demanded his money which the
other refused to give. A quarrel fol-
lowed and La Conte drew knife and
stabbed Scaparelli twice, once in the
side and once in the neck. the latter cut
severing the jugular vein. Scaparelli
was taken to the hospital and died with
in an hour. La Conte ran from Atlantic
avenue through Richmond and Clinton
streets followed by a score of market men
and teamsters who had witnessed the
stabbing and they finally captured him.
A crowd of 500 persons quickly gathered
and threats which grew to such a point
that according to the policeman who was
soon upon the spot, one man had actual
ly gone for rope with which TO hang the
Ital ian. The latter was finally lodged in
the station house. La Conte is % years
OF age, a lab0rer, and mild hammered.
His victim was about 30 years old with a
wife and family and was engaged in the
grocery business at the North End.

Murder.
Many Witnesses Testify To Gro
gan's Accusations.


Cambridge, Mass uiy 17.-The hear
ing of Charles r. Eastman, the Harvard
University Instructor, charged with the
murder of his brother-in-law, Richard Il.
Grogan, Jr., on July 4, was opened in
the third district court before Judge
Almy, today. 1t is alleged that Gorgan
was shot by Eastman on the afternoon Of
the Fourth of July, while the men We're
engaged in revolver practice at the Alvan
Clark estate IN this city. Eastman claims
that the shooting was accidental, while
the attorneys for the state hold that it
was intentional.
DIR. William L. Swan, medical exami-
ner for AIiddlesex county, was the first
witness called. He gave the details of
the autopsy which was performed on the
body of Grogan and which resulted IN the
finding that the man died of q hemor-
rhage, resulting from pistol wound in
the breast He said the pistol must hare
been at least four feet from the body, as
there were no powder stains.
Walter d. Titus, a drug clerk. testified
that while he was passing the Clark
place on the afternoon of July 4, he heard
someone shout:
"Oh don't" He went up to the wall
and saw two men struggling; one of
them was Eastman, the other was Gro

to stop the Russian steamer Michael car
rying ammunition, and the steamer
Slenga with the Russian frontier COM
mission on board, from passing up the
Amur at Aigun.
They fired on the steamers, wounding
an officer and few men, but the steam
ers reached Blagovesehensk. The local
Chinese COMMANDER at Aigun seems to
have sent the Russians a sort OF ultima
tum to quit Manohuria.
The Chinese, according to the Daily
Mails st. Petersburg correspondent
have thrown up Qualifications and placed
40 guns at point 70 miles from Aigun
to dispute the progress OF the Russians.
The official Russian advices leave the
inference that BIagoveschensk is stiIl in
Russian hands, the Russian losses dur
ing the bombardment being only three
killed and five wounded. The Amur
military district was mobilized fort
night ago on war footing. It is be-
lieyed that the Russian forces there are
$4,000 men ana 112 guns. The governor
general has now ordered the troops on
the frontier to form Gordon. The Rus
sian papers demand severe retribution
for Chinese audacity IN Manchuria, but
they hol1 that Russia must persevere in
her resolution to avoid war.
The Chinese minister in st. Petersburg
had disavowed the events In Manchuria
on behalf Of his government and has
promised to make serious representations
to Pekin regarding the consequences
that win follow if the hostilities there
do not cease. There is little. further news

for the safety of the Europeans as there

had been custom of them to shoot at a
target in the Clarke estate.
The next witness, John r. Grogan,
brother of the dead man, gave testimony
in relation to quarrel which occurred in
Grogan's livery stable in November of
1899, at which time Grogan accused East
man and his family of living upon him.

London, July 1S.-4 a. m.-The news
of the Mancnuria disturbances Is not re-
garded as justlfying the serious view at
tribu.ed by the Daily Mails advices.
Amur, the boundary territory between
Eastern Siberia and Manehuria, has been
the scene Of local disturbances for a long
time owing to the conduct of the Cos
sacks toward the q, 600 Chinese employed
In the construction of the Russo Man

July 8. Aside from these dispatches,
the arrival Of the President ana the
special cabinet meeting called to consider
the situation were the features of the
day. They met at $50 o'clock this after
noon, less than an hour after the presi-
dent reached the White House. Over a
hundred newspaper men thronged the
corridors while the cabinet was sitting
behind closed doors. The scene resem-
bled the hottest days of the Spanish war.
There were present Secretary Hay,
Secretary Root, Secretary Long, Secre-
tary Gage and Postmaster General Smith.
At the conclusion of the session which
lasted 2 1-s hours Secretary Root gave
out the following formal statement Of
the action of the cabinets
The President has determined that
the facts now known to us do not re-
quire or justify calling an extra session

ments indicate that he is unable to do
what is required with the means now
at his command and the action of Con-
gress is necessary to furnish either men
or money or authority. he win not hesi-

While only this meagre formal state
ment was given out, it was ascertained
that the whole Chinese situation was
thoroughly discussed by the cabinet. The

THE OPTICAL SCIENCE.

Many psople think that fitting
glasses is easy to learn. 1t isn't so.
1t requires a number of years OF hard
study and practical experience. A
man must make it his speciality and
never stop studying. 1t is as distinct
a profession as Medicine, Dentistry
or Law. 1t is an exact science. The
optician must understand all the dell
icate workings and adjustments Of
the human eye. He must receive a
thorough training in physical and
physiological optics. He must UNDER
stand the curves, powers and action
of lenses and their effect upon light

mand the attention Of local yachtsmen.
There are the interlake races at Lake
Geneva, Wis, and 1t will be necessary
for the White Bear club to wipe out the
defeats last year of the CaVite and Xcnia.
To this end it has built, in the seventeen
foot class; five new boats, the fastest of
which, is is considered on good authority,
will be swift enough to make it decided
ly-interesting for the best of them. The
seventeen -footers at White Bear are prac-
tically finished, and will receive their in
itial dip within the next two weeks OF
these, the one built for sale by John
ley, who expects to take the boat to Min
hetonka after the 1st of July, so that
there will be but four left. 1t is hoped
however, that the Johnson boat will be
given chance against the others before
It goes off the lake.
BY the 1st Of May 1t is expected that
The lake will be studded with white wings
again. So far no boats have been placed
In the water, and in this respect they
much resemble the buds on the trees,
they all come out at once.
The Mahtomedi Yacht club, about to be-
gin it's third season, also believes in ex-
pansion, and this year will present an
increased number of boats. 1t also adds
q sloop class, and retains the other class
IS OF larks and cats. There is prospect
of from six to eight sloops entering the
Mahtomedi races, and the interest has al
ready assumed considerable proportions.
There will probably be some difficulty ex-
perienced in classifying the boats, but
the plan which viii probably be adopted
by the club will be to handicap the boats
