Thinks Arrangement With CunarA
Line Gives Great Britain Practical
Control OF Steamship Trust.

London. Aug. a-(Copyright 1900 = The
English newspapers wax quite enthusiastic
over conditions In Atlantic commerce intro
duced by the arrangements made by the
British Government with the Cunard Com
pany and the International Mercantile Ma
r1ne Company.
Ono paper nys tho favorable moment
when the Atlantic combine appears to have
sprung leak was chosen by the Govern
ment for the arrangement with the cunard
Line
Another thinks the agreement between the
Government and the American shipping
trust gives the British all the control OF
operations of the latter that can be legttf-
mstely expected. saying:
'It may even excite some surprise that
the American partners in the association
should have consented to place themselves
SO completely at the discretion Of the Gov
eminent OF this country; but. In the frst
place, they can't help themselves. for II
they had proved recalcitrant they might
have found other companies besides the
Cunard being assisted SO largely as to rem
der competition with them hopeless. Sec
ondly. the financial prospects Of the Atlantic
trust are not 20 good that they can AFFORD
to dispense with the Post Office ard Admf-
rally subsidies.
.~Thete Is an even possibility. soma OBJ
servers believe. that before the expiration
Of the twenty years which the agreement
covers the association will have fellen to
pieces, from Inability to earn satisfactory
profit On its large capital"
The fact that Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan's
name does not appear among the signatures
to the agreemsnt with. the Admiralty
causes London correspondent to exclaim:
J.a atx, ~ Il
enviable. The agreement in question winds
Up with magnificent display Of some
twelve or fourteen signatures. and names

wILLIMANT1c GRAVE OPENED.
A Case of Dissertation Found at St
 Joseph's Cemetery.


 Wfllimantic Sept 16-During Sun day afternoon the grave of Murty Sullivan, who was buried in St Jo- seph's cemetery about twelve years ago. was found to have been opened and the indications were that the work was done Saturday night as Saturday afternoon the grave was undisturbed. The discovery was made by Mary O'Neil and Thomas Doyle, who re- ported it to the sexton and Undertaken Killourey. 1t was apparent that who. ever opened the grave were familiar with the cemetery. They went to the tool house, broke it open, secured tools and then dug down to the head of the grave. They broke open the casket and the glass over the face, but found anIy the skeleton and, apparently when this discovery was made they abandoned their work. Some pieces of cloth, glass and the name plate were found on the pile of earth which had been removed. Undertaken KiIlourey stat ed that nothing of any value as buried with the body and he knew of no req son for anyone to open the grave, all though it is stated that the same grave was partially opened about four years ago. It is believed that whoever com mitted the desecration selected the wrong grave.

Potion Results Fatally in Case of Mrs
 John Graham.
 New Haven, Sept 16.-Mrs John Graham of 114 Hamilton street drank a potion of caEbolic acid last evening" which resulted in her death in few minutes. Medical Examiner Bartlett, after an investigation of the death, re- gards it as purely accidental.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening Mrs Graham came downstairs from her bedroom, where she had been for a few minutes, and told her husband that she had drank carbolic acid. She gave no reason for taking the poison, and in a few minutes she was in such agony that she was unable to give any.
 A neighbor was notified of the act, and at once telephoned to the Grand avenue police station asking for q physician and an ambulance. The ambulance was immediately sent out, but the party sending in the message was notified that the police could not furnish the physician. By the time the police ambulance arrived at the house Dr James S. Maher had been summoned and was also at the house. The physician found Mrs Graham dead when he arrived, and he immediately notified /the medical examiner.
 Mrs Graham is about B years old. She had been married but few years, and she leaves a husband and a small child. She also leaves a brother and sisters.

TIE FLAT R)N BUILDING
Mammoth Structure Lost Part
 of its Coping To-Day,

Large Block of Stone Fell With a
 Crash-Tore Hole in Fifth Avenue
 Pavement-One Man Had a Leg
 Broken-Broadway Gar Had Narrow
 Escape.
 New York, Sept 16.-A huge block of stone coping fell from the upper part of the 20-stOry fatiron building, 23d street, Broadway and Fifth ave nue, early to-day. The mass landed on the Fifth avenue side of the build ing with crash that could be heard for blocks. A large hole was torn in the pavement and fragments Of the stone flew in all directions.
 One of the pieces struck John Rup- pie, gartender, as he was passing along the avenue half block away and broke his leg.
 Another fragment hit passing team of horses and caused them to run away.
 A Broadway car comfortably filled with passengers bound down town also was damaged by the shower of small stones.
 Half dozen of the windows ill the car were shattered and several of the passengers were slightly injured. No cause for the loosening of the stone could be ascertained. The fiat iron building, comparatively new skyscraper of peculiar build, stands in one of the busiest quarters of the city, and at any other hour the fall ing stone undoubtedly would have caused several fatalities.

FORGED FROM HOME.
Willed Valuable Property to Nieces Provided They Cared for Him.

Willed Valuable Property to Nieces
 Provided They Cared for Him.
 New Haven, Sept 16.-Michael' Nc Carthy, who in 1898 deeded his prop erty to his nieces yesterday applied to Clerk Perry of the charities depart ment of the city for aid. He was in- formed that all that department could do for him was to send him to the Springside home. MT Mccarthy want ed a day to consider the matter and he will notify the department of his de- cision to-day MT Mccarthy gave as his reason for applying for aid that h1s nieces refused to allow him ill the house and that he was too old to work and care for himself
 The tale told to the charities officials was a pathetic one. He said that about five years ago he deeded valu- able property in Hallock avenue, which he then owned. to his nieces, the conditions being that they should care for him during the remainder of his life. All went well, he said, until 2 short time ago, when the mother of his nieces, a brother s wife, arrived on the scene, and it is she whom he now claims is the cause of all his troubles.
 Upon the advent of the mother, MT Mccarthy stated that his troubles be- gan. The nieces made life a misery for him, and finally living at the old home became unbearable Things grew worse, however, and he claimed that yesterday morning he was or dered to get out of the house.
 If MT Mccarthy, who went back to the old home yesterday to try to re- main, decides to go to the Springside home, the city authorities will take the matter up. If, after an investiga- tion, it is found that his claims to the property are correct. the charities de partment will take steps to have the deed set aside. The contract is re- corded in the town clerks office,
