 Afrair Probabiy Accidental.

5
 Stamford, Aug. 7.-Janes sandella. a fourteen-ye year-old Italian boy. was shot and almost instantly killed early this evening by Dominic Fornino. also an Italian, fifteen years of age. Young sandella died while being taken to the hospital.
 According to the information in the hands of the police at the present time the shooting was acccidental, and all though young Fornino ran away after the affair, his flight is supposed to have been caused by fright.
 From what could be learned from the police tonight young Fornino is 2 Derby boy, having run away from home with circus which visited that town two weeks ago. When the show reached Stamford he stopped here and went to live with an uncle in this city. He always carries a revolver Early this evening he was showing small gathering of boys his proficiency as a narksinan While preparing to shoot at an object on nearby fence the re volver was prematurely discharged and the bullet entered the heart of young Sandeila, who was among the crowd. An ambulance was hurriedly called but the youth died while on his way to the hospital.
 Fornino was panic-stricken when he saw that he had shot one Of the boys. He threw away his revolver and ran to his uncle's hhouse, where he pro- cured another one He put this in his pocket and started on 9 run wor New Canaan. The police caught him about half mile outside the city limits. At first he told conflicting stories. denw- ing that he did the act but later he ad- mitted that ie was he who shot San della, but insisted that 1t was an acci- dent The police are inclined to be- lieve the latter story, but are holding the boy pending the coroner's investi- gation.

MIMIC NAVAI WARFARE.
Fslnt Made by Hostile Fieet-First Gun
 Heard or Bas Harbor.

Portland, Me, Aug. 7.-What is be- lieved to have been the first gun in the present game of mimic war that is be- ing played off the eastern New Eng land coast between two fleets of the navy was heard tonight at Bar Har- bor, in the direction of Mt. Desert Rock. The enemy at that time had theoretically been threatening the coast for a period Of about two days and a half but up to this morning none of the vessels of the attacking fleet had been sighted. At an early hour to-day several vessels believed to have been a part of Admiral Sands fleet were sight ed some distance off shore. but disap- peared shortly after. At 10:15 o'clock tonight the inhabitants of the little town of Eden, generally known as Bar Harbor, were startled by the sound of heavy firing off at sea. At that time the weather was clear and a full moon was shining brightly, so that observa- ton off shore was possible for some
 miles, It hardly seemed as if the ''en- emy would choose such conditions to run the gauntlet of Admiral Barker's patrol, and as the firing only lasted about five minute. 1t was the general belief in Bar Harbor that the attack was in the nature of a feint.
 The conditions uD to noon to-day were favorable to the attacking fleet, as the weather was very thick all along the coast, but a strong northwest breeze began to blow soon after that time and within few hours the fog had been driven to sea.
 Clear weather is predicted for the next forty eight hours so that the '.en- eny' will orobably have hard task to evade the defending squadron, make q harbor and hold it for five hours. If he accompllshes this. he will win the game.
 Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. 7.--Heavy firing in the direction of Mount Desert Rock, and continuing for fully five min. utes, was heard about quarter-past ten tonight. and ;t was the general belief here that3the "enenny" had been sighted by the defending fleet.

Balkan situation.

Vienna, Aug. 7.-The foreign office is absolutely without information regard ing the fresh outbreak in the Balkans and is not inclined to believe that the situation is really dangerous. The diplo- mats are convinced that so long as Aus tria and Russia maintain their present attitude any serious outbreak is improb- able.
 Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-The fresh in- surrectionary outbreak in Macedo mia, which was believed to be impossible, has produced a sensation everywhere. It is believed that the latest provocations by the Turkish troops drove the insurrec- tionists to despair. The Bulgarian gov- ernment is resolved to maintain friend ly relations with the Porte and to pre- vent the bands from crossing the from tier. ~-~s ..6s4.. ..a- ... \

------ ' | -7.E AUI OMOBILE LAW.
Declared IavaIid by New York
 Court.

New York, Aug. 7.--In deciding sev- eral pending automobile cases to-day the court of special sessions, in case against James T. McWilliams, held that the provisions of the Bailey law requir- ing owners of automobiles to register with and obtain certificates from the secretary of state is unconstitutional, because it discriminates between users of automobiles on highways. The gen. eral purpose of identification is declar- ed to be wise, but the exception of deal- CTS and manufacturers is ''unconstitu- tional and unfair discrimination against private owners" In the case against Julian Teza it was held that the motor cycle comes under the general provis- ions of the law. In the case of William H. Ellis grave doubt was expressed as to the constitutionality of the sentence that deprived the owner of his right to run his own automobile, as it involves the possible taking of property without the due process of law.
