Albany. Nov. 23-Chief Fish and Game Protector
Pond of the State Fish and Game Commission
said tonight relative to the stories current in
New-York papers that from eight thousand to ten
thousand deer had been killed in the Adirondacks
this year:
The story is ridiculous. From personal observa-
ton and from the reports of the various game
well as from the records OF the express companies,
II is apparent that the number shot this is far
less than that of last year. Last year, IA liberal
estimate in addition to our figures gathered from
reliable sources. about six thousand deer were
killed This year the number will not. so far as |
can now, reach three thousand; but giving all
sorts of leeway II will certainly not exceed four
thousand. Any statement that the number has
reached eight thousand or ten thousand is grossly
exaggerated
John D. Whish. secretary to the commission, also
said that the records coming in from the express
companies and other sources showed that the num-
Der killed this year not half that of last

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN
CITY OF NEW YORK.

New York, Oct. 17.--William G.
Turner today shot and killed Albert
Hamilton uf Pittsburg and w. j. NAL
lard of this city in the offices of tho
law firm of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre,
on Broad street, and then committed
suicide.
Turner was at one time treasurer of
the Climax Bottling Co., in which the
other two men were Interested, and the
three met today to effect settlement
growing out of an alleged default on
the part of Turner. During the con-
ference a heated discussion arose, and
Turner, drawing revolver, killed
Hamilton and Mallard, and then, turn
ing the weapon upon himself, COM
mitted suicide.
Turner came from Mount Vernon,
n. Y. He was also president of the
hottlihg company, and it is alleged
that his defalcations amounted te
5000.
A member of the law firm in whost
Offices the shooting occurred said thal
after the three had been in conferences

check for $1,000" With tnat he pu

HIc FLOATING DocK.

Because Of the enormous size of the
boats now built by the various govern
ments of the world, the construction of
drydock to accommodate these craft
is an event of almost international
moment. The United States Navy
Department will soon ask for bids for
floating drydock to accommodate a
16, 000- ton battleship. This dock will
be built in the United States and
foated to the Philippines. The amount
of 81, $50, 600 is available at once for
this purpose, and the speci fications are
being rapidly brought to the compile
tion point by Admiral Endicott, of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks. The build
ing of such structure as this is an
operation of considerable delicacy, and
the delivery of such construction will
be one of great risk. Whether it will
be towed across the Pacific or across
the Atlantic by way of the Snez Canal
will depend entirely upon the place of
| construction.
| This dock will compare favorably in
size and capacity with any of the large
docks which are now in operation.
The most interesting of the latter are
those at Bermuda and Algiers, La.
The one at Bermuda consists of five
1 main partsi comprising bnree poutooHS.
The three pontooons form the bottom
and comprise the main lifting force,
the walls being largely designed to give
stability and control OF the operation
of the dock. This dock is larger and
heavier than any ever built. 1t is 545
feet long and has clear inside width
of 100, feet, the outside width of the
dock being 126 feet. Its greatest lift
ing power is II, 500 tons, and the tota
weight of the hull is 6, 500 tons.
The deck at Algiers is shorter thar
that at Bermuda by 25 feet and weighs
$50 tons less; yet its lifting capacity il
greater. 1t recently raised the Unitec
States tattleship Illinois, vessel O.
1865 tons. The total lifting capacit,
of this dock Is 20, O00 tons. The Aigieri
dock has an outside width of 100 Zee
aud weighs $3.50 tons.
