Drunk But Responsible.

-N E A
According toa report which comes
from Saline, Kan, Jurisprudence has
established q new standard esr tho f.
measurement Of drunkenness. One
Fred Leis o wealthy farmer, was sued
for $1,000, this being the amount for
Whichgh had gone on the bond Of q
man charged withgrand larceny. The
man fed the country aud the bond was
declared forfeited, and Leis was sued
for che amount involved. The defence
of Leis was that he was drunk at the
time he signed the bond and therefore
not responsible. Che case hinged on
whether or not he was too drunk to
know what he was about. There was
plenty Of testimony to show that he was
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 80, for that matter.
But there was testimony to show that
when Just as drunk he had more than
3onoe traded horses, and invariably got
the best Of che deal. So the jury
found chat he was responsible, sSd

makes q successful horse trade cannot
be drunk in the eyes Of the law. It

YOUNG BRIDE MURDERED.
shot by Jealous Husband Who Then
 Takes Poison.

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 9.-A bride of four months, Mrs. Edgar H. Frantz, aged nineteen years, is dead, slain by her husband, well-knoWn young drug clerk of this city, aged twenty-one years. Frantz is dying from the eff. fects of morphine, which he swallowed after firing two bullets into his wife. The woman was murdered in her sleep. Frantz left a note in which he said they had agreed to die together, but it is be-. lieved Mrs. Frantz was the unsuspect- ing victim of her husbands jealousy. The tragedy occurred about 1 o'clock this morning, but was not discovered until ths afternoon.
 The married life of the young couple had been made unpleasant by quarrels, Frantz being intensely jealous. Several times, it is stated, he threatened to kill his wife, Last night, however, the cou- pie were apparently on the best of terms and in good spirits. On retiring they requested that they be called at noon to-day. When an attempt was made to arouse them they failed to respond, and forcing open their door, Frantz's father found them lying on the bed. The wo- man was dead, with a bullet hole in her head and another through her breast. Frantz was still alive, but his recovery is regarded impossible.

FRENCH PREMIER FIRED AT
TO ASSASSINATE If.
 COlLBES IN MARSEILLES.
Two shots Aimed at His Carriage hut Neither Took Efrect-wouId-be-Mu derer, an Italian, Quickly Arrested Three Accompiices Seriously Wound ed While Attempting to Escape.

Marseilles, Aug. 9.--As Premier COmbes was returning this afternoon to the prefecture from a banquet given
 by the Friendly Society of Teachers, at which M. Pelletan, minister of marine. and Henri Brisson, deputy for Mar seilles, and number of senators and deputies were present, two pistol shots were fired at the carriage in which he was riding. The premier wa5 untouch- ed and none of those accompanying him was hurt. The attempt upon the life of the president of the ministry caused
 great excitement, and the crowd point ed out to the police as the author of the attempt a man dressed in fisher
 mans clothes. His companion drew a
 knife but the police quickly disarmed
 him. The police had much difficulty in protecting the man who had fired the shots from the crowd. He struggled desperately but was soon overcome. handcuffed and taken to the prefecture, where M Combes had already arrived. The first Interrogation of the prisoner took place in the presence of the pre- mier. The man said his name was Saul vaire Picolo. He spoke very bad French with a strong Italian accent. He de nied that he had fired the shots but when searched 3 revolver was found with two chambers which had been freshly fired. It is believed that Picolo and his companion, who had effected his escape during the confusion, are both dangerous anarchists. the presence of a number of whom in Marseilles the
 police are aware.
 The following official version of the attack upon Premier Combes has been issued:
 As the premier's carriage was pass
 ing the corner of the Avene Capelatte
 and Rue Saint Eloi five men began throwing tomatoes Only one of the
 missiles reached the carriage, striking
 the coachman in she eye. The detect
 ives aided by the. local police started in
 pursuit of the men. who fled. Being
 closely pressed and seeing themselves
 about to he overtaken the men drew
 knives and revolvers and engaged in a
 struggle with the police, who fired, se-
 riously wounding three of them. one
 of those arrested succeeded in passing
 his revolver to an aecomplice. An
 other was arrested few minutes later. one of them named Picolo has already
 undergone five previous arrests One
 of ts.e others Is named Datino.

 The last detachment of the troop ar rived at o'clock this morning, about twelve hours after the first detachment.

Joseph B. Hooper. This afternoon there was a brief horse parade, and some of the new members were put through the usual troop initiation.
 Captain Ludington and a number of officers went to Middletown this after noon and called at the arrnory of Com pany H, Second infantry, the members of which were preparing for their de- parture for Mantle tomorrow.

Discovers Fraud Is circuit Race tn
 Timo to Save Ills Monsy.

Buffalo, Aug. 9,H. J. Klein, presid- ing judge of the grand circuit meeting that closed here yesterday has given out a strong statement anent the scan .dal in the 2:06 pace yesterday Tn that race. K. O. Ceideberg. owner and driver of Little SquaW, was taken out of the sulky and Ben Kennedy drove the mare, winning the heat and the race. Nick Hubinger, the New Haven plung- CT, suspected he was on the outside of a job when Charley Hoyt beat Little Squaw in slow time. He protested, and the action of the judges resulted. Ceide- berg was not fined.
 MT. Klein says that if he had had au-. thority he would have expelled Ceide-s berg, owner and driver of Little Squaw; W. l.. Snow, the trainer, and Frank Williams, of Corning, the owner of Charley Hoyt. The other two judges oyerruled him. Dr. L. R. Preston, one of the other authorities, said the case would be presented to the governing board of the National Trotting associ- ation next winter. Hubinger had bet much money on Little Squaw and, it is alleged, had promised Ceideberg $400 if the mare won. He suspected fraud.

 The party started from this city in the naphtha launch on a trip to Pleas ant Beach, eight miles away When off Ash Point, at $40 o'clock, the launch became entangled in a fish weir. An attempt was made to turn back. when suddenly there was flash and the launch was enveloped in flames. The six occupants of the craft leaped over- board. They were within 1000 feet of the shore. but Holmes and Crocker were unable to swim. The efforts of the others were directed toward saving these two-and Crocker nearly drowned Hills by grasping him about the. shoulders. Both men sank but Hills finally succeeded in freeing himself,
 Hodges swam thirty yards to boat and, cutting it loose, found that he had no oars. By this time Veazie and Hall had half filled the launch with water, in an attempt to stiofle the flames, but the fire spread and drove them from sheir only refuge. Veazie started to swin toward the smaller boat and Hodges threw the rudder to- wards him, but the man suddenly threw up his hands and sank. Crocker dis appeared at the side of the burning lounch, which soon afterward sank stern first with Hall, who was clinging to the stern, and Hills succeeded in swimming to the small boat in which Hodges had Sound refuge.
 Fishermen later put out and rescued the two men.

Hartford Man Thought He Was suffer-

Bristol, Aug 9.Alexander McGary, of 131 Governor street, Hartford, was found this morning lying in the road in Clayton by s. M. Leavitt, who was driving from Hartford to this city. Me- Gary told Leavitt, and repeated the story afterward at the police station when Leavitt brought him there, that he was suffering from a bullet wound. After his clothing was stripped off, however, no wound could be found, and shortly afterward the man had a hem orrhage. A similar hemorrhage is sup posed to have been the cause of the blood on his clothing when Leavitt found him. McGary was removed to the hospital. His condition is said to be critical. .
