RAFFO ADMITS CRIME.
Declares NezU-RockeUe Policeman
Shot at Him.

The mysterious murder of Policeman Maurice
Ahearn in Rochelle Park, at New-Rochelle. on
last Saturday, cleared up late last night
when Francisco Raffo, the Italian under arrest
for the crime, made full confession to Coro-

a clever police ruse, The murderer had con-
fded his crime to Fedalo Seraffo his sweet
hearts brother. Fedalo was brought TO the
station by Sergeant Cody. Chief Timmons and
Policeman Fanellf, the Italian officer, then told
him that the murderer had confessed. The
italian, taken off his guard, then told all that
he knew about the crime
When Raffo was told that his sweetheart and
her brother had forsaken him he broke down
and made a clean breast of everything. Chief
Timmons, Sergeant Cody. Detective Petrosini Of
this city. and the Pinkerton detective. Bailey
heard the confession. Raffo declares he did
not know Ahearn a policeman when he shot
him. He says he thought Ahearn was a loafer
who wanted to modest him. He declares that he
shot in self-defence.
He was led before the Coroner attired only
lin undershirt and trousers. He was told of his
rights but declared he wanted TO tell the whole
story The following is his confession

steadily worse, until finally the police reserves
were called out Presently the negro mob came
in collision with crowd of whites. 1t is re-

the face, and that the negroes shouted: You
white men keep off the streets; this is our
night"
Instantly the shooting began.
Four policemen under Sergeant McDermott,

another negro was shot About fifty shots were
exchanged, and then the two crowds separated
Police reserves were hurried to the scene, and

news that the shooting had occurred spread like

There was another collision between the
whites and negroes soon after midnight IN
which William Kramer, a negro, was shot
through the stomach and may die. The white
man who fired the shot sca2ed. There were
only four or five concerned in this affair
The place where the fight took place is not
far from the courthouse and only few blocks

body had been parading the streets. armed with
sticks. broken bets of wood, and even old
umbrella handles They were the lowest ele-

to disperse the mob, evidently fearing to start
a disturbance. The captain in charge said
afterward that when he reached the scene he
saw negroes shooting but did not see any white
men firing.
There is little or no surprise expressed at the
shooting. 1t had been expected. and was the

Value of Education.

NJ. l.. Britain. superintendent of schools in Fulton county. Ga. has made mathematical calculation oi the value of education, based on the census figures. Tn the Worlds Work he states the result as follows:
 An uneducated child has one chance in 150.0O0 of attaining distinction as factor m the progress of the age.
 A common school education in creases his chance nearly four times.
 A high school education increases the chance Of the common school child twenty three times, giving his eighty seven times the chance of the unedT- cated.
 < college education increases the chance Of the high school boy nine times. giving him 21? times the chance of the common school boy and nor. than S0U times the chance of the UT trained.
