SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Doctor Whose Life Was Saved by a
Suspender Buckle.

Oshkosh. Wis, Dec 5.-The trial of
James Gaffney charged with attempting
to murder DR.. o. c. Hanson of Neenah,
is in progress here.
Gaffney, the defendant, is a son of one
of the most prominent and wealthy
families of Neenah. He is an attorney
by profession. He was married to
Agnes Kellett, a wealthy and handsome
young lady of Neenah, but trouble fol-
lowed and Mrs. Gaffney secured a di-
vroce on the charges of cruelty and neg
lect
Not long after Gaffney, who claimed
that DR. Hanson had alienated his
wife's objections and was therefore re-
sponsible for his (Gaffney's) domestic
unhappiness. called upon Hanson at the
latter's office in Neenah and fired two
shots at him. It was a narrow escape
for Hanson, as one of the bullets was
stopped on its ways to his heart by the
impact of a suspender buckle.
Hanson at the time was said to be
engaged to an Oshkosh young lady.
There was an effort made to have
Gaffney declared insane and committed
to the Northern state hospital, but the
petition was refused. Gaffney's defense
is that he visited the doctors office
merely for a friendly talk and that the
doctor Immediately assaulted him with
a slungshot and that he fired in self
defense.

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
Concessions offered by Senators Bur-
rows and Perkins Not Important.

Washington. Dec 5.-Too much en-
phasis may be attached to the an
nouncement that Senators Burrows
(Rep-, Mieh) and Perkins (Rep, CALI
have told the president that they will
not further oppose a 20 per cent reduc-
ton in the sugar duties is a concession
to Cuba to secure reciprocity. Thia
typifies the change of sentiment thar
has come over western public men since
they have encountered sentiment at
home, but it is not of. much Importance
as surrender The. sugar senators do
not believe they will be confronted with
the 20 per cent proposal at this session;
they think the tangle in Cuba will hold
the treaty there for some time, and then
that the senate will insist on a political
treaty embodying the terms of the Piatt
amendment, before they consider the
commercial one. The friction between
the two houses regarding the authority
in treaties affecting the revenues may
make further trouble.
All things considered, the sugar sena-
tors believe it fruitless to keep up op-
position to so popular a president as
Roosevelt, and also that it will prove
inexpensive to yield a 20 per cent con-
cession, with the complications which
obstruct its coming into force

SCHOOL CLOSED; NO COAL.
Much Trouble Is Experienced by the
Coal Famine in BROOKLYN.

Brooklyn, Dec. 5.-Public school No. g.,
Vanderbilt avenue and Sterling place, on
the Park Slope Brooklyn. was closed
yesterday on account of there being no
coal in the building. Nearly all the schools
in Brooklyn are short of coal, and at least
half dozen principals notified Parker
p. Simmons. the superintendent of sup
plies, yesterday and today that they would
have also to close unless coal was sup
Piled As soon as Superintendent Sim
mons learned Of the condition in No 9
he imm ediately gave orders for the nee
essary supply. He said that he lad re-
cetved no information of the condition at
that school, although the janitor says
that he sent a notification to the 1epart-
ment. This afternoon two loads were de-
livered to the school building.
School No. III. adjoining No 9, did not
close. but coal had to be delivered in a
hurry.
There IS no coal contract in Brooklyn
as in Manhattan. the committee on SIP
plies of the board of education having
rejected all bids in May. as the price was
considered too high. Now the suparrn-
tendent of supplies has to go into the
open market, and do the best he can.
The price he is paying is about IS a ton.
Mr.. Simmons says that if he is notified
in time no school need be closed, as he
