SHOT HER MOTHER.
Believed Miss Richards Was Demented

Believed Miss Richards Was Dementec [ When Crime Was Committed.
 Barkhamsted, April Mrs, Emily Richards, aged seventy-four, widow
 was shot in the head and seriously ] wounded by her daughter, Miss Elsie <, G. Richards, aged flfty-two, about | o'clock this morning at their home
 near Four Corners. The mother | though bleeding profusely, remained ir | the house till daylight when she es- | capped and ran to a neighbor's. The | daughter, meantime had shot herself and is probably fatally injured. The tragedy has caused great excitement in the village and 1t is believed that the daughter was demented as a result of a long illness.
 Mother and daughter have lived alone for number of years The daughter was formerly a dressmaker in Winst ed. They have some money and are well liked in the town Of late the daueh- ter's Hines has been of such a nature that the mother has been much worried about her During last night Miss Richards complained and she and her mother were sitting up together near Illt lIFSpldte III tHe hllCItIl.
 Suddenly according to the story ef the mother she was shot from behind, a bullet entering her head over the right ear The daughter screamed and jumping in front of the mother ex- claimed: Some one has shot you through the window. We shall both be killed" The mother was suspicious and throwing aside her daughters shawl discovered revolver of .92 ealibre She took the weapon from the younger woman and locked it in a closet
 The two sat together until o'clock when the older woman despite the pro tests of her daughter left the house. Miss Richards admitted to her mother that she had done the shooting but begged not to let 1t he known
 The mother was firm and soon noti- fled the neighbors.
 On reaching the house the neighbors found Miss Richards lying in pool of blood on the kitchen floor. She had locked the doors and windows so that it was necessary to force an entrance into the house. It was evident that she had again found the pistol and had shot herself in the mouth.
 Dr. Swett, the medical examiner, was summoned from New Hartford. He found the mother still conscious and despite her age, believed she may re- cover, The daughters wound is se- rious and it is thought her chances of recovery are small, Dr. Swett was unable to extract either bullet. From what can be learned there seems no doubt that the shooting was the result of the daughters temporary insanity The neighbors say that mother and daughter have always appeared to be on the best oe terms.

 He was rescued by swltchman and was about to be sent to an undertake CT when the medical examiner arrived
 Burns recovered consciousness. He was not seriously injured though a heavy current of electricity must have passed through his body.
 The physician at first thought him dead but soon discovered enough evil dence of life to justify making exer- tions. the result being complete restor- ation to consciousness.

U. S. RUBBER co. EXTENSIONS.
Status of the New Vote Issue for Re
 organiza ton Purpose.

Status of the New Vote Issue for Re- organization Purpose. New York, April 1-Interest in the
 plan of funding the United States Rub-
 Der companys floating liabilities into SIP, 1000, 900 collateral per cent. refund-
 ing gold notes converged to-day on the
 question of the collateral behind the
 notes.
 The letter written by President Sam uel P. Colt of the United States Rub Der company to the bankers defining the affairs of the company it's earnings, and the securities in question, says on the above point:
 The funding notes are secured by deposit with the Morton Trust com pany, trustee, of notes of the subsidiary companies aggregating s12000,o0 D."
 It is further stated that at no time shall the net quick assets of the United States Rubber company, and of the companies in which 1t is the principal stockholders be of less value than $15.- 900, 900, over and above all indebtedness, except the said funding noets. Quick assets, as soused are defined in the Trust Indenture, and are in addition to IHe I6til eSldle anu HHeu pfUDeTtleS Ol the company and of the subsidiary companies, according to the explana- tion made by President Colt.
 Wall Street was inclined to argue that the operation practically amount ed to an extension of credit to March, 1905, the date of the new loans matur- ity, as the notes of the subsidiary com panies were themselves a lien on the assets.
 President Colt says that from the proceeds of the funding notes payment Is to be made of the entire floating in- 1ebtedness of the United States Rubber and all of the subsidiary leaving a substantial amount of cash on hand There is no mortgage debt of any kind on the United States Rubber company or of my of the subsidiary companies.

the results are as fanciful as they are
unanticipated.
One summer, the last of John Nor.

of the clubhouse in Saratoga, among
whom was a youthful attache of the
French embassy, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. Without remark this attache
suddenly rose entered the playroom
and, going to roulette table, tossed
a hundred dollar bill on ten, black.
The dealer politely informed him that
he had exceeded the limit. The at
tache was insistent. Morrissey, saun-
tering up, nodded to the dealer to let
1t go. 1t won. Refusing to accept
chips, the attache gathered in his win
nings and rejoined his friends. Half
an hour later he did the same thing
and was again successful. At frequent
intervals he repeated his trips, invaria-
bly, winning. never once losing until he
had won $17.500. when his friends car
ried him off.
AS he left Morrissey remarked to
friend, 81 never take the limit off that
the bank doesn't lose" Nevertheless
there was profit on the nights play
