REAL ESTATE MAN BEATEN.
Residents of New York Flats
 Became Excited.

The Block in Which They Lived Was
 Set on Fire They Accused the
 Agent of Setting the Fire and Tried
 to Mob Him-The Fire Was Quickly
 Extinguished.
 New York, Aug 31.-Infuriated be- cause of what they believed to be an- attempt at arson, which threatened to destroy the bloclR in which they live, the tenants of flats on East 109tn street ill this city attacked Herman Jonas, real estate dealer, and it was with some difficulty he was saved by the police from serious consequences. He was arrested. The tenants say that they found the fire in the apart ment occupied by Jonas, in the five story building i'll which they live. When the fire was first discovered and the alarm was given, the excitement was tremendous. The tenants streamed out i'll all sorts of undress, and were frenzied at the prospect of losing their belongings.
 When the report was spread that Jonas had set fire to the house, the attack followed and Jonas was badly beaten before the police came and res cued him.
 The fire was extinguished promptly.

MARKSMEN OUT EARLY.
Irish Rifiemen Getting Themselves ir
 Readiness for the Match.


 Sea Girt, N. J., Aug 31.-Although the air this morning was not as clear at the rifle range as it was yesterday, the weather was otherwise perfect, and the competing marksmen were early at work at the butts. The work or the Irish rif1emen and the men who arc to shoot against them is being closely watched, and the general opin- ion is that the teams are very evenly matched
 The victory of Captain Stebbins of the Twelfth regiment of New York, i'll the match for inspectors of rifle prac- tice, yesterday, is popular one, and his craftsmanship is highly praised. His work was especially coInnendable because he had had no opportunity to practice at the ranges, having arrived here less than hour before the shoot ing in the inspectors match began.
 The program today includes the Wimbledon cup match, the revolver team match and the inter-club match. The Wimbledon cup was presented by the National Rifle association of Great Britain to the National Rifle associa- ton of America. It was won last year by William De W. Foulke of Philadel- pbia, who will compete again today.

AMERICAN WAR VESSELS
A Number of Them Now in
 English Ports.


 Have Been Treated Right Royalty by
 Our English Cousins English
 People Sorry That All the Vessels
 Were Not There in a Bunch so That
 Big Demonstration Could be
 Given Them.
 London, Aug 31.-Seldom have so many American war vessels appeared in English ports. Scarcely had the Hartford and Essex arrived in the Thames before the Chi cago excited the curiosity of Ports mouths citizens. Then the Dixie ar rived at Southampton, and now the Buffalo's crew are being entertained at Greenock. The Hartford and Els sex have since left, but the others re- main. They are all receiving the most hospitable treatment, but the English officers regret that the vessels could not all come to one port so that a well come could have been organized. The officers are also puzzled at the fact that the European squadron at pres ent consists of the lonely little Chi cago and that Rear Admiral Crom- well has no control or even con1muni- cation with the other American naval vessels now in England The arrival of the mayor and corporation of Southampton, in full regalia, along side of the Dixie created intense in- terest among her western lads who are learning to be 'jackies." Such an array of gold. ermine land purple was something new to them, and they commented on the visitors with all the vigor of first impressions.

REFLECTIONS OF ONE FAMILY
Four Members of it Died in One
 Month.

Authorities Think Deaths Occurred
 Under Suspicious Circumstances
 Bodies Were Exhumed and Were
 Examined by Experts.
 Boston, Aug 31.-A special from Cataumet to the Herald says: Ut is rather unusual for four persons in one family to meet death within a period of one month. Yet this occurred in the case of MT and Mrs Alden F. Davis and their two daughters, Mrs Irving Gibbs and Mrs Hairy Gordon, the lat ter of Chicago, the deaths taking place only few weeks ago.
 ..Some one started a rumor that these persons, or at least two of them, did not die from natural causes. Finally the district attorney ordered an investigation and Joseph Whitney of the state police force was instructed to conduct an autopsy on the bodies of Mrs Gordon and Mrs Gibbs. An un- dertaker exhumed the bodies yesterday and an autopsy was held in the pres ence of Medical Examiner Faunce, State Detective Whitney, Prof Whit ney and Prof Wood of Harvard col lege.
 While Prof Wood had undoubtedly been requested by Captain Paul Gibbs to attend the autopsy, he was also present as an expert employed by the state, and to his custody were intrust- ed the organs of the two bodies for chemical analysis. This. in the minds of many, shows that the authorities are looking for poison. The fact that the Jachin house. which was the home of the Davis family, was set on fire As.nrn~ between the death of Mrs Davis and her younger daughter in considered as having an important bearing on the case.
 Whether the bodies of MT and Mrs Davis are to be exhumed depends On the result of the autopsy held yester- day The result of the autopsy per formed will not be made known for several days.

FAMILY POISONED
The Father and One Daughter
 Died Yesterday.
MOTHER IS ALSO VERY ILL.

The Family Ate Some Canned Goods
 It Is Thought and Were The Vic-
 tins of Ptomaine Poisoning ng-The
 Funeral of The Father and Daugh-
 ter Will Be Held To-Morrow.
 As result of eating some fruit, which is believed to have been impure, father and daughter are dead, son is so ill that he is not expected to re- cover and mother and two other chi.- dren are gradually recovering from the effects of ptomaine poisoning. The fam- ily, upon whose members the eating of the fruit has had such disastrous ef- feet. is MT and Mrs Joseph Werbeskis and children of TIT Bank street.
 The fruit or the food, which caused all the misfortune, was eaten on Mon day night On the next day the fa- ther and mother and all the children became sick and gradually grew worse. On Wednesday Dr De Liguori was summoned and he at once saw it was a case of ptomaine poisoning On being questioned MT Werbeskis said that they had cucumbers and pears for sup per. Another story is to the effect that they ate mushrooms for supper and they were impure. Which is the pro- per story, it is hard to ascertain, as the family is reticent on the subject
 At any rate Dr De Liguori treated the patients on Wednesday and they felt much relieved Wednesday night. On Thursday morning the fathers con- dition was worse as was the condition of Mary, one of the children They gradually grew worse and Dr Graves was summoned But medical aid was of no avail and the little girl passed away about noon yesterday. Tn the meantime the fathers condition grew more and more serious and finally Dr Goodenough was summoned. The man was in a bad condition and as in his child's case he received no help from medical treatment and his condition grew worse until the end came last night about 12 o'clock. The death cer- tificate signed by Dr Good enough attributes death due to ptomaine poisoning, while Dr Graves says the child died of gastra enteritis A little boy, about II years of age, is dangerously i'll and is not expected to recover His case is sad one, as he has been home but few months from the Waterbury hospital where one or two of his toes had to be amputated, owing to their being crushed by wagon of circus which showed here during the summer. The mother and the two other children are still i'll, al- though they are able to be about the house. It is sad case and much sympathy is,expressed for the family. Mir Werbeskis was a tailor and he attended strictly to his business. He was honest and industrious, and of quiet nature. He generally spent his spare hours away from business at his home. Owing to his cheerful disposi7, ItioHi he bad mqlfa.n1y friends, alT of whom were spEpf1sed 9Thear, of AiSs deatbr, He was a member of the st Casimir' 1 society, which will attend the funeral in a body tomorrow. The funeral of the father and child will be held at the l same time, 4 o'clock. Services will bt held at St Joseph's Lithuanian church and interment will be in Calvary cem- eterY.

GoMpERs' PAPER SPEAKS.
Reply From England In Regard to
 Condition of Labor Over There.

Washington, Aug 31.-Ahe American Federationist, the official organ or tue Federation of Labor, and of Whlcn Samuel Gompers is editor, to-cay prints replies from number of promi- nent labor organization advocates Ill Great Britain to an inquiry from MT Gompers as to whether it is true that England's industries are seeking other fields, and if so, whether this Is the fault of the trades unions. The replies are all negative as to the influence or the unions. George H. Barnes, general secretary of the Amalgamated society of Engineers, Manchester, England says that Those industries which are best organized on the workmens' side are the most prosperous industries of the country. The shipbuilding, engi- neering, coal getting and cotton spinn- ing, are all well organized industries and were never so prosperous, where as, on the other hand, the heavy tex tile industries. shoemaking and several other industries that might be mention ed and which are but indifferently or ganized on the side of the work people, are dwindling."

 Washington, Aug 31.-Acting Secre- tary Hackett gave out letter from Rear Admiral Howison denying the truth of the Boston interview credited to him, in which he was made to com pare the respective qualities of Samp- son and Schley. Despite this denial Rear Admiral Schley is not satisfied. Judge Jere Wilson of counsel for Admiral Schley said tonight "I had a conference with llr Rayner im1nedi- ately after reading Rear Admiral Howison's letter to MT Hackett. We agreed that it is not satisfactory"
 What further action will you take?' Judge Wilson was asked.
 T cannot say at this time. We cer- tainly are not satisfied with Admiral Howison's explanation. It does not say whether he expressed an opinion or not. It is not satisfactory

MARRIED SONS DIVORCED WIFE

Plainfield, N. J., Aug Something of a sensation has been caused in SO icety in this city by the announcement of the marriage of John V. Bleekman to Mrs Amelia Bleekman. They were married in Hoboken, Monday, August 12. A strange thing about this marriage is the fact that MT Bleek- man has married the former wife of ihs son. Mrs Beekman was di- vorced two years ago. Since then she has been employed by MT Beekman, ST, as housekeeper. Mir Beekman is engaged in business in New York. His home is at No 216 West Eighth street, this city.

SALISBURY'S FAMILY
It Is Said Want Him to Retire On Ac-
 count of His Health.

London, Aug 31.-A representative of the Associated Press learns that the rumors of Lord Salisbury's retirement are due to the existence of agitation within the premier's own family that he take the step in order to preserve his health. His sons and daughters be- lieve the strain of conducting the af- fairs of tue empire is bound to shorten his life. In this they have been op- posed by several less closely related members of the Cecil family and almost all the leaders of the Unionist party. The latter are likely to prevail, for the present, at any rate in their con tention that relief from the duties of premier would be very doubtful bene- fit to Lord Salisbury's health, which just now is not bad considering his age.
