Business Men Accuse Former Part

Pressed for settlement He Kills Both
of His Accusers and Follows
Murders by Committing
Suicide. NJ

New York, Oct. 1s.-Using a new
automatic magazine pistol, William c.
Turner, former president and treas
urer of the Climax Bottling company,
to-day shot and killed w. j. Mallard,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany, and Robert Hamilton, its presi-
dent, and then killed himself with the
same weapon. A second revolver, load
ed in every chamber, was found in Tur-
ner's pocket, and it is believed he
planned to take more lives than he did.
The shooting was caused by quarrel
between the three men over an alleged
shortage in Turner's accounts. The
tragedy occurred in the Offices of the
law firm of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre,
in the heart of the Wall street district,
during the busy noon hour. Turner,
who was IS years old, and lived at Mt.
Vernon, n. Y, a suburb OF this city,
was cousin of Gov. Odell, of this state,
and the head of the law firm in whose
Offices the shooting occurred, is
President Cantor, of the borough of
Manhattan. Soon after the shots rang
out in the Office building wild rumor
was started that the borough president
had been killed. ~
The three men met in the law Offices
by appointment to allow Turner to
make partial settlement, and he was
asked for certified check. "Ihave it,"
he said, and then he closed the door of
the room, An instant later he drew
a revolver and began firing. Mallard
fell, shot through the heart, and Ham,
ilton lived only a few moments. A num-
Der of other persons who were in the
room, clerks and members of the firm,
fled in panic. After killing Hamilton
and Mallard, Turner hot himself in the
head. Some moments later, hearing no
more shots, the persons who fed ven-
tured back into the room and found the
three bodies.
Was a Defaulter.
Turner retired as president of the
Climax Bottling company last April,
when he was bought out by Hamilton.
After. the sale it was discovered In ex.
aiming the books of the concern that
there was shortage of IS, 100 in Tur-
ner's accounts. Lawyers were en-
ployed by both parties, and it was fin.
ally agreed to accept s2,7o0 and give
Turner a release in full. Tuesday night
it was agreed that the settlement
should take place in the Offices of Gan
tor. Adams & Mcintyre Friday at II
o'clock.
On Turner's corpse the coroner also
found certified check for $2,7Oo,
The latter is regarded as throwing
a peculiar light on the case, for it is
thought to indicate that Turner went
to the Offices with the probable in
tention of paying the sum of money
which was to have settled the diff.
Guilty. If he did intend to pay. it is
argued, he changed his mind sudden.

for the Public Schools Is Too Small"
His attack on the evils he named was

ready their long abandoned mines,
some of which are flooded and others
nearly so. They will have to collect
their railway equipment, much Of
which is scattered broadcast through
the country in the service of the btu
minous coal operators. Under no cir
cumstances will it be possible for them
to achieve full output of anthracite
coal in less than three weeks. They
may be able to produce from 40 to so
per cent. of the usual output before
the end of the week. Their gain from
that time until their organization is
again perfected, will be very slow. The
operators first efforts will be bent in
the direction of furnishing the west
with coal. The season of navigation on
the great lakes is drawing TO close.
In order to utilize that route they will.
have to get coal into Buffalo, Cleveland,
Erie and other ports without loss of
time. They will undoubtedly make an
effort to relieve, in a measure at least,
the growing distress in New York and
New England.

SOUFRIERE BREAKS OUT.
Throws Volcanic Dust as Far as Is
land of Barbados and Causes
Great Conformation.

Kingston, st. Vincent, Oct. IA
terrific eruption of the Soufriere vol
cano commenced Wednesday night.
During the preceding day earth
tremors apparently too slight to be
considered important were expert
enced in the central and northern
parts of the island. At eight o'clock
Wednesday night there were indubi--
table indications of an eruption.
Rambling noises were heard, they in
creased until nine o'clock, when the
roaring volcanic giant belched out its
deadly contents. This eruption was
followed by brief lull. Then, from
ten o'clock until four o'clock Thurs
day morning the upheaval continued.
The outbreak was accompanied by an
incessant and confused cannonading.
There were incandescent clouds and
sparkling matter was elected. After
four o'clock TIE disturbance gradu-
ally decreased, but the noise of the
boiling caldron is still audible in the
districts near the volcano. Both
craters of the Soufriere were appar-
emily active; they have been steaming
all day long. Sand fell heavily every
where from 1890 until $3.50 Thursday
morning. At southern points the
sand is half an inch deep, the depth
gradually increased towards the vol
canic zone, where there were showers
of large stones, pebbles and cinders.
Kingston and other southern points
of the island have not been damaged.
Reports from the Windward district
are awaited. This eruption caused
darkness at Bridgetown, Island OF
Barbados, at ten o'clock Thursday
morning. There was fall Of volcanic
dust there. The sand elected during
this eruption has stronger sulphur
Gus odor than any previously thrown
ont. and one superficial square foot
of IL weighs exactly one pound. q.

Snkclde.

Mount Pleasant, Mich, Oct. 17.-As
the bloody sequel of divorce suit,
Archie Woodin, 20 years old, is under
arrest here charged with triple MUIR
der, and this community was shocked
Thursday by bloody tragedy in
which Mrs. Woodin's parents and the
prisoners 1S-months-old daughter
we're shot and killed. Woodin was over
powered just as he was about to turn
the weapon upon himself. He visited
the courthouse Thursday morning
about 0 o'clock and looked over the
papers in a suit for divorce which his
wife instituted October 10. From
there he went directly to Isbelrs hard
ware store, where he purchased re-
yolver. There was no interruption in
his career Of crime from the moment
his hands let go of the legal papers in
the courthouse until his victims lay
dead in two farm houses six miles
apart.
Having secured the weapon he
first rode his wheel to the Gu.
lick farm, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Gulick being the first victims.
Mr.. Gulick was shot twice, once
above the heart and once in the right
side, and was instantly killed. Wood
in then turned upon his mother-in-law,
who was sitting in rocking chair, and
shot her in the throat. She ran into
the kitchen and fell upon her back.
Woodin followed and emptied three
chambers of his revolver into her
breast, killing her. A 14-year-old
daughter of Gulick came in at the
sound of the first shots and, seeing the
blood on her mothers neck, ran to the
neighbors' and gave the alarm. While
running down the road she heard the
last three shots.
Murders His babe.
The murderer then dashed madly to
his mothers home, six miles away. He
rode his wheel for one mile; then tear.
ing off his coat and throwing it with
his wheel in fence corner, ran mile
and a half through the fields. He made
the last four miles on a borrowed
horse. Passing the time of day with a
group of apple pickers on his mothers
farm, he entered the house as though
nothing unusual had happened, and
picking up his little girl, ten months
old, carried her into an empty room.
In a moment shot rang out and ended
the life of the child. Farm hands rushed

her at the farm of Eli Ferris, where
she obtained employment, but the
father then took it to his mother on
the promise that he would soon re-

Woodin's wife was Miss Anna VI. Gu

1900. Woodin was soldier in the Gu
ban war. At the Jail he refuses to talk
except to express regret that he failed

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning Of trouble comes
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders - Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps of neglected kidneys.

CROP REPORT OF WORLD.
summary Of Grain Yields Threugh-
out the Countries Of Eu-
rope and Asia.

Washington, Oct 1s.-The depart
ment of agriculture's summary of
the crops of the world shows that
owing to the remarkably cool and
wet summer experienced throughout
n considerable part of Europe, the
harvest of 1902 is one of the latest
on record. The promise of an album
dant yield, therefore, has been only
partly fulfilled in Europe, allowing
for grain gathered in damaged con-
dition and for that actually spoiled.
In the case of bread grains there
will be demand among millers, in
the countries so suffering, for good,
dry grain to mix with the home
product.
The semi-official Russian estimate
makes the wheat, rye, barley and
oats crop of that country not only
larger than in 1901, but exceeding the
average for the five years 1s96-100o.
Throughout about four-flfths of
the German empire harvesting was
delayed by frequent rains and there
was still much grain in the fields In
the middle of September. The Aus
TRAN official figures for September
IS say that wheat and barley are
good, average crops while rye is only
medium to good medium.
From Hungary the official report
for September IS received at the de-
partment here shows that maize has
suffered from drought in some dis
tricts, the plants producing no ears
and in others the grain ripened be-
fore the ears attained normal de-
velopment.
The Roumanian wheat crop Is Of
ficially estimated as the best in
many years.
The French ministry of agricul-
ture has issued preliminary report
giving the wheat production Of
France as 352,0O0,O00 bushels, an in
crease of over 10 per cent. over 1901.
The crops in Belgium are stated to
be comparatively satisfactory.
In Great Britain the area under
wheat cultivation is 25,5Os acres
greater than in 1901. The recent
weather throughout Great Britain
has greatly helped it's farmers in
completing their belated harvests.
Harvesting is progressing favorably
in Denmark. Rye and wheat are of
normal yield and good quality. The
wheat crop of Italy, according to
present indications. will be APP
proximately 13o,000.O0O bushels. The
recent rains in Argentine entirely
saved the crops and it is expected
that the yields will exceed last year
by over 40 per cent.
Wheat areas in Australia have
been helped by heavy rains. General
ly favorable reports of coming crops
have been received from all provinces
of India. The rice crop of Japan, hurt
by the wet summer, probably will
be below the average.
The official estimate of Spain is
that that country will have the lar
gest wheat crop for many years and
will have considerable surplus for
expectation.
