TRIED TO KILL HIS PARENTS.
4 Young Mans Attempt May End
Two Lives.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Wilson
Smoyer, graduate of Muhlenberg Col
lege, and a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Benja-
min p. Smoyer, at noon today made an
attempt to murder his parents by poison.
His father may recover, but his mother
is in a critical condition, and her recov-
cry is in doubt.
This is Smoyer's second attempt on
the life of his parents. Several weeks
ago he put carbolic acid In soup that his
mother had prepared for dinner, but the
presence of the acid was discovered in
time. Smoyer was called to account, but
only laughed as if he regarded his deed as
a huge joke. Today Smoyer succeeded
in emptying the contents of a package
Of arsenic in the coffee pot. After din
ner Mr. and Mrs SmOyer both became
violently i'll, and the doctor found them
suffering from symptoms of poisoning.
Young Smoyer was charged with the
deed and admitted that he had tried
to kill his parents particularly his father,
because the latter would not give him as
much spending money as he wanted.
Smoyer made no attempt to escape and
was arrested at his home. He made a
confession to the chief of police, and is
absolutely unconcerned as to the out
come of his deed. Smoyer is thirty-one
years old, and his father is very wealthy.

FASTEST CRAFT OF HER TYPE.
BattIcship Retvizan Averages 1S.S
Knots for Twelve Hours.

BOSTON. Oct. 1S.-Russias new Ameri-
can built battleship Retvizan came to an
Choir off this port shortly before noon to-
day, with the figures ISIS painted upon her
tunnels, indicating that the great vessel
was the fastest craft OF her type now
afoat. The Retvizan came here for her
standardizing test, having left New York
yesterday forenoon.
The original plan of the Cramps, her
builders, was to give the Retvizan a speed
trial later on. the contract requiring that
she make eighteen knots an hour for
twelve hours of consecutive steaming,
but on the run from Sandy Hook
yesterday the battleship made such
speed that Edwin S. Cramp suggested to
the Russian naval officers on board that
the trial be held last night. The sugges-
tion was adopted, and for twelve hours
she was run under a fun head of steam
and at full speed straight ahead. Not
only did the Retvizan meet her contract
requirements, but she also broke the
speed record for first-class batteships
At no time during the twelve hours did
she drop below eighteen knots. and for
one hour she made nineteen knots. Her
official time was taken every half hour
during the run, and when figured cut gave
the vessel the average speed of eighteen
and eight-tenths knots. Having satisfied
lilt ttuSSldlS ana Ter DulluerS, the speed
trial planned for tomorrow has been
abandoned. The officers and crew will
spend the day and Sunday sightseeing and
resting up for the test on Monday.
The battleship will then be run over the
Cape Ann course of ten nautical miles,
four times each way, for the purpose of
standardiZing her screws. During the
seventeen hours run from Sandy Hook
the Retvizan averaged an even eighteen
knots an hour, although her official
speed was taken but for the twelve hours.

PRITCHARD WILL SET ASIDE.
Jury Decides the Testator OF I'm

4 jury in the Probate Division of the
Supreme Court of the District yesterday
returned a verdict declaring null and void
the last viii land testament of the late
James T. PTitchard, because of the un-
balanced condition of his mind at the
time of its execution. The wifi offered
for probate directed that his entire estate
should be divided equally among his own
children and those of his sister. Mrs. Kate
c. Moore. No provision was made in the
will for the testator's wife, Mrs. Ellen
Newton Pritchard.
Soon after the will was filed for pro
bate. Mrs. Prtchard and her children,
through their guardian, Isaac Newton.
filed a caveat, protesting against the ad
mission Of the will to probate. Mrs.
Pritchsrd also asked that the court allow
her one-third Of the revenues from the es
tate during her lifetime. and also to
award her one-third of the personal prop
erty left by her husband Issues Were
framed, and the contest was made on the
grounds that the testatOr was of un-
sound mind when he executed his will,
and also that it was done under undue
influence. r-''
The matter was on hearing before Jus
tice Barnard, in Criminal Court No 2.
since Monday last. and verdict was not
reached until yesterday afternoon. The
jury stated in its verdict that II was of
the opinion that James T. Pritchard was

A FIGHT FOR FREE HIDES.
Manufacturers Want Reciprocity or
Duty Abolished.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 1S.-A meeting
of great interest to the leather trade of
the United States is being held today in
the Trade League rooms in the Bourse,
1t being the first convention of the Free
Hide League. During its deliberations
there will be launched a well-organized
movement for the abolition of the present
duty on hides. This reform may be eff
fected by means of reciprocity with the
South American countries from which
most of the cattle hides needed by Ameri-
can manufacturers now come.
The present tax of 10 per cent on cattle
hides works, it is claimed, serious injury
to the American shoe industry, because
it enables European and Canadian tanners
and shoe manufacturers to secure cheaper
materials. In South America land is so
cheap and herds of cattle so large in pro
norton to the population that hundreds OF
cattle are killed for their hides, and for
seventy-eight years prior to the enact
ment Of the Dingley tariff laT IN 1871 tney
were admitted free OF duty mere Inc
tariff imposed by the Dingley bill amounts
almost to a prohibition on the Importation
of South American hides.

NOTORIOUS NEGRO CAUGHT.
Prince Edwards. Who Killed John
G. Foster, Under Arrest.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. B-The an
nouncement is made that Prince Edwards.
the negro who killed John Gray Foster
in Rossier Parish last June, has been az
rested in East St Louis. The murder
created more excitement than any killing
in Louisiana for some years. Three Of
Edwards associates were lynched, the
Church of the Living God. the organiza-
ton of which he was a leader, was broken
up, ana the murder resulted in the adop-
tion of rigorous measures in regard to
other negro societies in Louisiana.
Since then Prince Edwards has been
searched for high and low, and some
twenty or more negroes have been arrest
ed ON suspicion. Had Edwards been ar
rested Immediately after the murder he
would undoubtedly have been lynched
with Prophet Smith and others, but it
is now announced that he Will receive a
trial, and that Governor Heard will pledge
himself TO protect the prisoner against
any mob violence II surrendered to the
Louisiana authorities. as there are fears
that the Governor Of Illinois might other
wise refuse to surrender the prisoner.
