The chief thought no more of the incident, such exhibitions are not unusual at the police station unitil noon when the man rushed in at top speed and after putting down a couple of satchels, an umbrella and coat informed the chief that Richardson was at his heels, and demanded protection. He was given safe spot in cell and appeared to enjoy it until he was turned over to Regent Moran of the Brooksfde home shortly after 2 o'clock. He was a pretty clever appearing fellow and as he drove off out West Main street no one would think by his looks that there was anything fhe matter with him.

NO RATE CUTTING EXPECTED.

New York, June 25.-While no cut ting of rates on the transatlantic lin- CTS is generally expected as the result of the Cunard lines withdrawal from the so-called rate pool, the first step in fight for passenger traffic has been taken, according to the Journal of Com merce, by the announcement on the part of the line mentioned that they will, beginning July 2, book steerage passengers for the continent. Book ing of steerage passengers from the continent has already been begun on the other side, and there seems no doubt but that it is in the direction of the continental steerage business that the first signs of the coming contest will be shown.

 Morning.

The usual number of guns and plas tols noticeable at this season can be seen in the hands of children In all parts of the city, and the reckless man- ner in which they are being used prom ises to result in a fair share of accs+ dents from now until after the national holiday. No matter how alarming this may be, it seems hard to apply reme- dy that would be effective If a man deprives his children of these weapona he is called all sorts of names by those who believe they ought to have them. so that one might just as well shut his eyes to the danger and let his young- sters take their chances. It does seem. though, that parents and guardians of children, and the authorities, toos should exercise some sort of slpeTviss ion over the use of explosives on the public streets, Such exhibitions are public nuisance as well as menace fo life and limb, and the argument that 5t serves to inculcate a spirit of pafript- ism in the rising generation which nore than compensates for the damages thaf come from it. is all bosh.

AWFUL DEEDOF VOODCUTTER
Killed His Niece and Tried to
 Kill Her Sister-in-LaW
He Also Made an Attempt On His Own Life Throat slashed With a

Razor.
 Sherman, June 26.-Animated by a motive not yet made clear, Peter H. N. Y, today killed his niece, Edith Roscoe, 16 years of age, wounded her sister-in-law, Mrs Sherman Roscoe, perhaps fatally and then attempted to take his own life. Mrs Roscoe's con dition is very critical and Worden also has slight chances for recovery. Though the causes which led to the tragedy are not known, or at least are not given out by the officials, it is be- lieved that jealousy because of .hn- other mans supposed attentions to the girl was partly responsible.
 Miss Roscoe lived in Carmel until three weeks ago when she came to Sherman to visit her brother, Sherman Roscoe, who was manager of f;T,n f.-.,-, of Orlando Pepper, two and one-half miles from this village Her uncle, Peter Worden, accompanied her. He had broken his leg and decided to visit at the Pepper. farm while recovering from the injury. The crime was com nitted between five and six o'clock this morning. Mrs Roscoe arose about five o'clock to get breakfast and was passing from the dining room into the kitchen, when she was struck from behind with a ham, mer and fell to the floor unconscious. How long she lay there was not known. Her husband, and MT Pepper were in the barnyard milking when the woman rushed screaming out of the door. Her face and clothes were covered with blood. The men rushed into the house and going up stairs found Miss Roscoe on the bed with her throat cut. Worden was sitting on the side of the bed with razor in his hand. His throat had also been gashed He was locked in another room. Dr Woodruff was sum- moned, but when he arrived the girl was dead. Mrs Roscoe was sent to the Danbury hospital and Worden was cared for at the farm house.

COURTNEY COACHED FAvoRITE

Hanlan Has Been Giving the Columbia
 Crew the Finishing Touches The
 First Race Will Be Pulled Off at
 -Four O'clock and the Last and Big
 One, the Varsity, at Six O'clock.
 Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 26.-When khe 13O college oarsmen awoke this morning they were surprised to ind their race day opening with clear skies. for the first time in twenty days, khough there were indications in the west of showery weather. The wind from the south was hardly more than a. zephyr. While the conditions this morning are exceedingly favorable, there is no assurance that they will continue throughout the afternoon, for the wind is in naturally bad quarter, the majority of storms along the Hud- son valley being heralded by south winds. Never in the history of Pough- keepsie has there been such a light at tendance of college sympathizers and followers as appeared in the hotels and on the streets this morning. This may be. due to the fact that the races are held late in the afternoon, and there is plenty of time for the people in the cities up and down the river to get here by special trains before the first race is rowed. The railroad arrange ments are all completed, so that the spectators may step off the specials at Highland station and at once board the observation train. The latter con- !

 The f1otilla of yachts and pleasure boats began to arrive this morning, some of them coming from New Lon don. where the owners had witnessed the Yale and Harvard races yesterday. Among them was the Governor Flower, a state quarantine boat carrying Gov ernor Odell and party. The governor affects the colors of Columbia, his alma mater. while John S. Reiburn's boat, the Gretchen, which is also the referee's boat, carries the colors of Pennsylvania. Edwin Gould's yacht, the Ileen, carries Columbia's co1ors. while several others are decorated in an impartial way, bearing the flags of all of the contesting colleges.
 Cornell is still the fayorite. Coach O'Dea of Wisconsin said to-day: | have been trying to instill in my men the idea that they win race on their merits, and not merely on chance ac- cident to the Cornell crews; but the newspapers and the people surrounding the men are continually pounding into them that they haven't any chance, and I am afraid that this affects the mems minds and thus the chances of win ming"
 Hanlan of Columbia is, next to Court ney of Cornell, the most confident of all the coaches here this morning. He says that his men, especially in the varsity crew, have a good chance to win, and that it is anybody's race. The Syracuse coach is confident that his youngsters in the freshmen race will stand chance to finish first.
 Cornell puts the heaviest crews on the river this afternoone and Syracuse the ightest.
 The program for the day is as fol lows: 4 p. na., four cared race; 4:45 p. n1.. freshmen; 6 p. m., varsity race.
