Boston's Dark Day.

Boston. Mass.-Soft coal, darkness,
and heavy fog were responsible for
the inky blackness of night which pre-
vailed in Boston yesterday. These cul-
prts are always troubling Boston
singly but ii is seldom that all three
join hands and attack the city at once,
but they did it and the people unwill-
ingly bowed to their will and went
picking their way down familiar streets
as if they were lost at midnight on a
strange highway. Really, that was
about the way it was yesterday, for
practically all day the city was wrap
ped in doleful gloom. Locomotion was
difficult and even dangerous 1t seemed
as if deathly pail had fallen upon
the business section and it was little
better in the residential districts. 1t
will probably prove to be the darkest
day of 1903, and will go down in his
tory with three other similar occasions
as a time when natures face was hid,
den in the hours ordinarily given to
light and brightness.

Boston, Mass, Jan. Erred A. Perry
of Golden street, Roxbury, gave
lelar the fright of his life about 4.30
yesterday morning by emptying a re-
rolver st him. None of the shots took
effect in the mans body, however, and
he made his escape. The shooting saved
Mr.. Perry from quite loss, as the
burglar was making preparations to
carry off several articles of value from
the house. AS it was, all that was taken
was $40 in money. Mr.. Perry was alone
in his house when the burglar put in
an appearance, the remainder of the
family being out of town on a visit.
About 4.30 Perry was awakened by a
slight noise in the dining room. which
adjOins the one in which he slept and
his curiosity was sufficiently aro"ncd
to warrant his reaching for his revol-
YER that was under his pillow. An eX
animation of the house showed that the
burglar had gain an entrance through
the dining room window on the first
floor bv forcing tho catch. lie had talk
en- number of articles of silver in
this room and put them together in
readiness for his departure, but it
proved so hurried that he left them be-

day afternoon by patrolman Daniel
Thompson of division 10 in the cellar
of house on Shawmut avenue near

to station 10. There. in answer to
questions, he said mis- name was King
Solomon and that he had just come
from Chicago. He claimed that he held
conversations with God every day, but
could not repeat for the benefit of the
officers any talk or part of any that
he had ever had. The stranger was
dressed in silk tights with no shoes,
but he wore several pairs of thick
wooden stockings. Over his shoulders
he carried a very rich looking kimono
and below a skirt of silk. Around his
heao was turban. He is colored and
claimed to be an East Indian.

ARSENIC WITH THE BROMIDE.
Druggist Gives Sensational Testimony
in Revere Poisoning Case.

In Revere Poisoning case.
Chelsea. Mass-Almost at the last
minute of yesterdays session OF the
Richardson hearing at Chelsea the
state reached what will probably be
the climax of its evidence, In the tes
timony of DR.. Bennett +. Davenport

sis OF a powder taken from the person
Of Miss katherine V. Richardson at
the time of her arrest at Revere
showed the presence of Six grains OF
white arsenic, in combination with
nine grains of bromide Of sodium.
Miss Richardson is charged with ad-
minis,erng poison to her mother with
intent to kill. and the testimony oi
Mrs. Eunire NJ. Kinney, attending phy-
slcian in the case. has been to the
effect that the symptoms of the moth
er's illness indicated To her arSeniral
poisoning.
DR.. Davenport's evidence may be re.
garded as the most important testimo-
ny submitted to the court, since II puts
into Miss Richardson's possession Il
quantity of the very poison with
which it is sought to establish her at
tempt upon her mothers life.
The powder which it was testified
showed arsenic in considerable guam
titles in its composition was taken
from Miss Richardson's stocking
The palpable Importance of this evi-
dence overshadowed all the other facts
adduced by the prosecution during the
day. and the adjournment of the court,
which followed Immediately upon It,,

Boston, Mass.-In highly impor-
tant decision that he has sent down,
Chief Justice Brown of the municipal
court holds that the members of the
police department are not agents, SER
wants or employees of the city, that
the city has nothing to do with the
money appropriated for the mainten-
ance of the force save to follow the
direction of the board of police COM
missioners, and that a creditor of an
officer cannot trustee his salary, as no
contract exists between the latter and
the city. Officers are servants of the
state and the obligation resting on the
city to pay then arises from statute.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The anthracite
strike commission resumed it's sessions
today in this city Twenty-Five men tes-
tilted to alleged prosecution they and
others had undergone during the late
coal strike because they chose to work
rather than join the strikers. The
single exception was Charles II. Schadt
of Scranton. the sheriff of Laokawanna
county. and his presence on the stand
under cross examination of President
John Mitchell of the miners union
proved to be the principal feature of
the days proceedings. Sheriff Schadt
in rect examination said that it was
difficult to get men to act as deputy
sheriffs; that in most cases where
there was trouble it was usually o"er
when he or his men arrived. The cross
examination of the witness was ably
conducted by the mine workers leader,
the replies of the witness pleasing him
while they surprised the court.
