"If you 90 back married now," she said
to Hetty, "the very success of your run.

you and him for what has happened to
Sim and RUFF. But IL you wait awhile,
folks will begin to talk around that it

quite true. Then it will be safe enough

Hetty reluctantly and ruefully admitted
that May was right and assented to the

look cowardly to go so far and stop short

WOMAN oVERBOARD.

Found Floating In New Haven Harbor
 Became Unconscious After Rescued.
 New Haven, Aug 5.-A woman was picked up in tle middle of the basin at Belle Dock about II o'clock last night by Nelson c. Turcott and George Masted, cook and fireman, respectively on the tug boat John r. Henderson. She was floating at the time. After be- ing rescued the woman became un- conscious. How the woman escaped sinking below the surface of the wa ter and drowning is puzzling the po- lice, but TurcOtt, one of the rescuers and an experienced seafaring man, of- fers an explanation. The woman was found on her back and her dress was spread out in such a way as to cause a sort of float for her. This, Turcott says, kept the woman from sinking.
 While out on the deck of the tug boat Turcott and Masted heard a grooming in the water. In the moon- light they saw the body of the woman She foated so close to the boat that the men were able to toss a rope to her. | She, still grooming, clutched it and was lowed to the edge of the boat and brought to the deck. Then the wo- | man passed from a semi to a decided unconscious state. The police ambu- lance of the Grand avenue station was called and Sergeant Mcbride ordered the woman taken to the hospital The woman clutched tightly on to her pocketbook. 1t was with great diffi- cuty that the physicians at the hos pital wrenched it from her grasp. The purse contained $12.76, but nothing | which would lead to her identity.
 Before she became completely un- conscious with great effort she gave a I name which sounded like Mary Brousky." She has the appearance of a Pole"

 Hardly Expected to Live.
 Port Townsend, Wash, Aug 5.-A story of death from starvation in the Agiapuk mining district was brought from Nome by passengers on the steamer Centennial. and as result of forty-three days of unparalleled hard ship George Dean, a miner, is dead, and his two companions. Jack Hous- ton and Joseph T. Thiery. are at deaths door. Houston will probably recover, but there is little hope that Thiery'S life will be saved.
 Added to the story of starvation is a horrible tale that in their desperation Houston and Thiery severed the thigh of their dead companion from his body and were cooking it when help arrived and saved them from practicing can nibalism. The men had been in Good hope county prospecting. On June z they started for Nome by way of Agiapuk river. Before they reached Teller City provisions gave out and hunger compelled them to eat grass. birds eggs and anything they could find
 Dean left letter, partly written, bidding his family. who live in Can ton, O.. farewell. He was a member of the Masonic order. Thiery is from Davenport Ia. and Houston was for merly mate on the Yukon river boat Sovereign.

POLICE COURT Do1NGs
Ten Months old Baby Saved Mother
 From Going to Jail.


 In the city court today the old, old story regarding the Slie family came up- Mrs Slie was charged with intox- icatiOn and breach of the peace, and was arrested Saturday evening. A number of witnesses testified against her. The family lives on North Elm street. and Saturday evening caller at Mrs Slie's invested 10 cents in a pail of beer to ascertain the depths of happiness it contained 1t turned out to be bad investment, for in mo- ment after the contents of the pail had disappeared, Mrs Slie was haran- guing every man, woman and child in the neighborhood. At the hearing this morning before Judge Peasley in court 1t developed that the woman's hus- band left home Saturday morning about , o'clock and did not return un- til 1 o'clock Sunday morning. He said his last drink of intoxicants was taken Saturday night, but subsequent- ly admitted it was taken this morn- ing As numerous as the laws are in this state. and though they appear to have been made to suit every kind of emergency and case, not one was found that could be adjusted to the case of Mrs Slie. There are six chil- drcn in the family. the youngest being only 10 months old. and how to pun ish the mother without punishing the child or casting the stain of imprison- ment on it's early days was the ques- ton that perplexed the court The county home nor the county jail would neither take the child. and it was inn possible to part the child from the mother f'he woman was sentenced to 90 days in jail. but when the above discovery was made the sentence was annulled and the case was continued a week If in that time the Slies do not conduct themselves properly. the children will be taken from them and the mother will be imprisoned in the county jail.

LABoR's NEW MOVE.
Members of Amalgamated Association
 Form Military Company.

VI III OOupuAJs
 Wheeling, w. Va, Aug 5.-The or ganiZation of the First Military com pany by labor organization was put under way last night by Crescent lodge, Amalgamated association, and to-day so popular is the plan that the members of the labor unions by the hundred are discussing it favorab.y and the indications are that very large percentage of Wheeling's union labor will soon be under military dis cipline. S8
 Il The full companies formed by Cres- cent lodge will not be in any way controlled by the state, but will be as independent as are the military com panies of secret and religious organi- cations Their officers will be em- powered to order action, but only in the line of self defense or in defense of the property of their employers when endangered by mobs Their constitution declares that their inter- ests and their employers are identical. Only when property is endangered will they act.
 The Amalgamated association is ready to close all trust mills on a strike order. Workers in independent mills have pledged 20 per cent of all earnings to the strike fund and the Crescent lodge has resolved to give half if the national board can use6it. There are 5000 men in the independ- ent mills. Business is already seri- ouSly affected workmen generally making preparation for a long siege. The general strike order will affect 13.000 men in the Wheeling district. All the trust mills are fully organ iZed, but the Riverside and the Bell aire, and there the men have partial organizations.

 Under the provisions of the enact ment, which went into effect Wednes- day, all itinerant vendors desiring to do business in Connecticut must take out both a state and local license and in addition to this he must make de- posit of 5000 with the state treasurer as a guarantee of good faith.
 The state license fee is placed at $100 and the local license will cost $25 more. so that it will be somewhat expensive to do business under this head.
 The applicants are further prohibited from advertising or representing any sale as an insurance, bankrupt, insol- vent, receivers, manufacturers, clos ing out fire sale, without first filing under oath with the state treasurer all the facts relating to the reasons for the proposed sale and the nature of it and including a statement of the name of the person from whom the goods were obtained, the date of their deIiv- cry, the place from which they were last taken and other details necessary to locate and identify the merchant disc. The $500 deposit with the state tredSurer IS SuDJecI 10 atIacnment In behalf of creditors. Failure to comply with the requirement of the state ex- poses the offender to the risk of $50 fine or six months imprisonment, or both.
 The law doesn't apply to sales made by commercial travellers in due course of business or to hawkers on the streets and peddlers from vehicles. The State RuSineSs Mons associa- ton worked assiduously for the pass age of the new law through it's legis- lative committee.

Q
 Will Probably Not Materialisze.
 Boston, Aug 5.-I am not aware ol any request for an inquiry or inyes.1- batlOn," said Secretary of the Navy John D. Long at Hingham, yesterday, to a Journal representative, when asked about the Washington report that Former Secretary William E. Chandler had made charges against Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans.
 ''The only thing 1 remember, con- tinued Secretary Long, "is that MT Chandler wrote to me about the time Admiral Evans's book was published and asked for copies of papers and documents relating to Evans. These copies were sent to him. Later, MT Chandler wrote letter to me in which he gave his version of the case.
 ''That may be the letter refrred' to in the article which was published yes terday. 1 would not feel at liberty to make that letter public without au- thority from Mir Chandler, but it is not unlikely that he would give it out.
 Did that letter constitute q request for an inquiry?" was asked.
 "There was no request, as l under stood it. and there seems to be no necessity for an inquiry concerning the matter referred to-
 Might it not be taken up by the senate?"
 '.That is not likely, for neither Mir Chandler nor MT Evans is q member of tho senate"
 When asked regarding the selection of the third member of the Schley court of inquiry, Secretary Long sald that so far as he knew no selection had been made. ''If MT Hackett has made the selection I shall probably know it to-day, but he has not sent me word as yet. He is probably taking time to ascertain if the man he selects can serve. I have left the matter entirely be a good man."

The stones are the hard est he ever saw, and to add to the diff fculfy in handling them, they are com posed of three or four kinds of ma ferial and require different temper in the drills used in making holes in them.
