MASKED MEN IN GOSHEN HOUSE
Bind Two Women Hand and Foot aud
 Rob the Houss.

Goshen, Conn, July 27.-Bound hand and foot to her bed between the hours of and 3 o'clock Sunday morning, Mrs. Morse. an aged woman. who resides in this place, gazed fearlessly at two masked men and absolutely refused to give them any information which might lead to the discovery of plunder. The men gained access to Mrs. Morse's room without awakening her and before she could make any movement they secured her to the bedpostsl with ropes. Then one drew a pistol and threatened to shoot her unless she gave them the de- sired information This Mrs Morse ab- solutely refused to do.
 Mrs. Morse occupied the house with Mir. and Mrs. Patrick Tucker. Saturday night MT. Tucker left the two women alone. Mrs. Morse was secured before she was fairly awake.
 Seeing Mrs. Morse's determination and evidently dreading to commit mur- der the men resorted to other means. They decided that the most effective method of torture was to apply light to the soles of her feet.
 loG1OLcf liCJ OQI lHctl pllAl they were turned from their purpose by the discovery of $50 lying under hat on a dresser in the room. The discov- cry led to further investigation and a gold watch and a ring were also found The men pursued their search and soon reached the other part of the house. Hhere they found Mrs. Tucker, who is about forty years of age. They bound her also as they did Mrs. Morse and threatened her with the revolver. Thoroughly frightened the woman gave information which led to the discovery of s23. This the men evidently believ- ed was all that could be secured and leaving the women helplessly bound they went away.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Morse struggled to fee herself from the ropes which bound her. Afater about an hours effort she succeeded in extricating herself. She made her way to the other part of the house. where she found Mrs. Tucker, who had also succeeded in setting her. self free.
 Mrs. Morse is suffering severely from shock on account Of her experience.
 Itis thought that the authorities have a clue. z,

 Katherine zelleca, three and a half years old, was run over by an automo- bile almost in front of her home at 2Ss Chapel street yesterday afternoon and was instantly killed The child was playing tag with number of her com panions about o'clock in a vacant lot next to her house Suddenly she darted out into the middle of the road directly in front of a large automobile owned by Frank Bigelow, president of the Bige- low company. and who resides at 265 Whitney avenue.

RUSSIAN IVAR PREPARATIONS.
Tho Exportntion of Wheat to Japan
 stopped.

stopped.
 < Pelsin, July 27.-The Russian adminis- tration of New Chwang has stopped the exportation of wheat to Japan. The ex- port of grain from Chinese ports is iI- legal. but the Russians, heretofore, have ignored the law. Tn the past week the Japanese obtained many shiploads from New Chwang, apparently preparing for war contingencies. Several ships were employed in bringing wheat from Shanghai and southern ports to New .Ghwang, where it was trans-shipped as a direct export The proIibitory was is- sued by the Russian officials last Thurs day.
 General Kondrad dovitch has been p1ac- ed in charge of six arnored commercial boats and the navigation of the Liao river, which is construed here as anoth- CT sign of Russia's intention to retain New Chwang and the command of the river. Great numbers of Russian civil- ians and soldiers families, it Is reported, are being brought to Manchuria, it is believed, in pursuance of a comprehen- sive plan to colonize rapidly the prov ince. At the present rate there will be almost 100000 Russian civilians in Man churia, including Port Arthur and Dalny before the date fixed for the final evacuation next fall.

 ous CoDdision.
 A serious fight occurred at4Kiinets sa- loon in the annex yesterday afternoon which may result in murder. What started the affair cannot be learned, but is said to have been a furious contest. The disputaIts were John L. Sullivan and William F. Killoy, and Killoy was knocked out after very rough usage. Friends sent the injured man to the New Haven hospital and kept the news of it from the police until late last eve- ming, when Policemen Mack and Cook learned of the affair and placed Sulli- van under arrest.
 The hospital authorities stated early this morning that the injured man was in serious condition. The cords or the neck are badly wrenched and the Adams apple" is broken. The man cannot speak word and the hospital people say that it will be a long time before he will be able to again. if he eyer does. Hope for his recovery is en- tertained by them, however. Sullivan lives at 37O Blatchley avenue and Killoy lives on Haven street.

LAKE SUPERIOR COMPANY.
AppenI to the staokhoiders fcr Flnan-
 ctai Assisssnces

Philadelphia, July 27 President Shields of the Consolidated Lake Su-. perior company, has made another ap-. peel to the stockholders of the company for financial assistance. In circular letter sent to the stockholders he an nounces that unless the proposed $12-. 500,00O bond issue is taken, the whole property must pass into the hands of the creditors. The creditors are New York and Philadelphia banks, headed by Speyer & Go, of the former city, who hold all available collateral securities of the company for three loans amounting to $5,050000. The Lake Superior com- pany is capitalized at s102 0OO, 900, of which $70, 100000 is held in this city. President Shields in his appeal says:
 The Consolidated Lake Superior company is in a critssll condition, from which 1t can be rescued only by the prompt and decisive ation on the part of the stockholders. By the issue of S12500, ,00O of 30-year per cent. bonds there must be provided the full amount of $7,5o00oO with which to take care of the temporary loans of s5,O50,000 and about $1.5oO.0O0 of current debts.
 Unless this entire sum can be provid- led in some way the whole property must pass into the hands of the creditors and forced liquidation, with all of the works idle, and productive, is sure to result in the sacrifice of a great part of the in Iyestment. On the other hand, df the s7,50o,oo0 can be provided the company will be free of it's floating indebtedness, with working capital sufficient to carry on it's business and in a position to earn double the amount of it's fixed charges '

ID ,vid Ricor, . Mason's Laborer, Falls
 From Lanpson Hall.


 David Ricor, mason's laborer, while at work on the third floor of Lampson hall, which is in the course of erection on High street, lost his footing and fell to the ground Just how he happened to lose his footing is uncertain, but those who witnessed the accident be- lieve that he slipped on some mortar, which caused his fall. His companions hurried to where he had fallen and were surprised to find him alive. He com plained of pains in the chest and stom- ach, but said that he did not want to go to the hospital The police ambulance was called and he was taken to his home. Dr. Kirby was summoned to at tend him and found that he had two ribs broken and internal injuries. It was stated that if the internal injuries were not of a very serious nature he would recover. 7@
 MT. Ricor is a middle-aged man, and those who saw him fall say that it is a, wonder that he was not killed instant ly, as the building from which he fell is a very high one and he was working on the top floor.

THE MILLER CASE.
His Rein.tnte m.ut Discussed at Session
 af Trndes Yesterday.

Washington, July 27.There was a long discussion at meeting tonight at Typo graphical hall of the situation arising out of the reinstatement of w. A. Miller, the assistant foreman of the bindery in the government printing office, who had been discharged because he had been expelled from the Bookbinders' union. The meeting was attended by two representatives of the International Bookbinders Brotherhood, Messrs. J. w Dougherty, it's general sec .retary. and ]. A. Espy, the financial secre- .tary-treasurer; by the pesidents and secre- tartes of the various allied organizations represented in the government printing Of flee including the printers, pressmen, the sphoto-engrarers, and the won1en's auxiliary, and also by President Gompers and Secre- tary Morrison of the Amercan Federation of Labor. After the meeting the statement was made that no definite action of any character had been taken and that the time had been consumed In discussion No time was set for another meeting, and 1t is stated that the present preference is to wait for a time to see what action Public Printer Pal mer will take in the caes of Miller, against whom charges of unftness have been pre- ferred. s5g @ X #4= 5
 Aside from the immediate interest arous- ed in the matter by A1iller's reinstatement, the members of the various organizations represented say they realize that there is a broader aspect to the whole case. They feel that the presidents ruling in Miller's case practically makes the government printing office an ''open" shop, in which a man or woman may be employed whether members of any union or not.
 They are very anxious that the chief ex- ecutive find some way in which his ruling may ba modified so that this condition of affairs will not arise. They are much ex- ercised over the whole matter, and hope that some solution will lbe found and that the government printing office in which the employees are members of the various unions will not become an "open. shop.

TO START WoRK ON BUILDINGS
New York Builders Determined to Start
 Operatfons.

k 4
 New York, July 27 The board of gov ernors of the Building Trades Employ CTS, Association to-day ordered all members of the association to start work on buildings at once, using any housesmiths, hoisting engineers and shorers who would individually sign their plan of arbitration.
 This means that work will be started on the greater part of the building op- erations throughout the city, and that men will be employed on them irrespec- tive of whether they are union or not.
 The board of governors gave ou the following statement after being in ses- sion four hours:
 We have directed members of the. association to start work in the erection of steel and iron constructions and oth- CT iron works in buildings with any men whom they may choose to employ, provided that these men individually sign the plan of arbitration. It is ex- pected that men so starting in will then s be formed into a union.
 'sThe employers of the hoisting engi- neers have been directed to start work Wednesday morning under the same conditions.
 The House Movers and Shorers As sociation of Employers have been di- rected to start work at once under an agreement with members of union formed to-day, as the House Shorers and Sheath Tilers' Association.
 We have been requested by so many individual members of unions which have not signed the plan of arbitration. to be allowed to go to work that we con- sider 1t merely matter of justice to ourselves, to business interests and to the men that we should resume opera tions under conditions entirely in con- sonance with our declared policy in re- gard to the recognition of unions.' !
 Leonard K Prince, of the board of governors, said: The vital point is that the big building industry of this city is no longer to remain at a stand- still. We have the work, capital to back 1t and hungry laborers to do it, and we are going to put them to work '' The members of the association are confident that with this step taken the end of the building tie-up is in sight.

TENNIS AT LoNGWooD.
Ward and We're Take Last Match in
 Eastsrn Doubles.


 Boston, July 27.-A big crowd gather ed at the tennis courts of the Long wood Cricket club to witness the concluding contests in the tournament which start ed on it's second week to-day. The tennis which was served was not the kind that had been looked for. however, as Cham pion Larned and H. Ward took their matches in the semi-final round with very little trouble.
 Larned was pitted against George Wrenn and although the latter took the third act had for while put on foot prospects of five set match he finally proved to be no match for the national champion. After the intermission Wrenn sucoumber in the fourth and concluding set. 6-2. Larned beat Wrenn GA, 6-3, 6-8, 6-2.
 Holcombe Ward found an easy victim in Beals Wright Score: Ward beat Wright, GA, GA, 6-2.
 These two wins in the serni- finals bring Ward and Larned together to- morrow in the finals.
 The match will be played at o'clock and a hard contest is looked for, many considering it by no means impossible that Ward will win out.
 The challenge match with Clothier will be played on Wednesday.
 This morning Ward and Ware won the eastern doubles championship, a feat which they had practically accom- plished by winning from Larned and Wright in the second round. This makes Ward and Ware the eastern champions and they will meet Collins and Waid- ner, the western champions, at New port on August IS. The winner of this contest will be called upon to meet the Doherty brothers at Newport for the national championship. In the finals this morning Ward and Ware had an easy time with Holt and Merrill, who had won their way in to the finals through an easy field and went down before the eastern champions 7-5, 6-4, 6-1.
 Tn the handicap singles, Watson (scratch) beat Bishop (3-6 Of 15), 8-6, 6-4.
 H. L.. Doherty and Mahony of the English team were at the. courts to- day and put in lot of hard practice. Doherty played a set with Clothier, winning 12-1O, and Mahony with Bob Wrenn broke even, each winning one set. Notwithstanding Bob Wrenn's de- feat by his younger brother last week, | it is not at all settled who will be Larned's mate in the international sim gles The Wrenn brothers will undoubt- edly play in the doubles, but which one will play in, the singles. seems to still be d question. The final choice will not be made until the end of the week.
