the United States district court here, to-
day. The defendants left the court lmme-
diately after their discharge for their
homes in Gloucester.
The case has been of great interest to
Seafaring men on account OF the rarity

The trouble arose. Saturday, Aug. u,

account of Captain Arsenault being un-
able to secure bait with which to fish.
On the night of the alleged crime several
of the men went to the captain and stated
that they wanted to go back to Glouces-

wait until morning and see how things
stood. This did not seem to please the
men and they started to abuse him, he
testified.
A lighted lamp was placed near his
face as he sat at Il table and one of the
men threw a boot ut it. Before any dam
the burning lamp was thrown overheard.

ages to Great Extent.

New York, Sept. 16.-Greater New
York and it's environs for several miles
in all directions We're visited, today, by
the fiercest wind and rain storm known
hereabouts in years. For two hours
about midday the combined fury OF
the elements wrought damage on land
and water aggregating many thou
sands of dollars. By the middle of the
afternoon the wind had dropped to a
mere breeze and the sun broke through
the clouds. Several persons were in
iured by being blown off fire escapes
and wagons.
The gale was especially severe at sea-
causing havoc to the shipping down
the bay, where many vessels were sunk
or wrecked. The worst damage was
reported from Staten Island. The en-
tire fleet of the Staten Island Yacht
Club at anchor was either sunk or
wrecked. The pilot boat Hermit was
driven ashore and there was collision
between a schooner and barkentine.

TRYING TO AVERT WAR.
Ambassadors at Constantinople Talk
Pointedly to the Porte.

London, Sept. 1.-THE efforts of the
powers, according to the latest kilograms
are directed both at Constantinople anC
Sofia. toward an endeavor to avert war
1t is stated that all the ambassadors al
COnStantinople have drawn the Porte :
attention to the danger of permitting a
continuation of excuses in Macedonia by
the Turkish troops and irregularS.
The Daily Chronicle says it understands
that Great Britain has decided on still
stronger step in the dispatch of "a British
squadron in support of her diplomatic en-
deavors at Constantinople to put an end
to the massacres. 1t is impossible. how
ever. to confirm or deny the Daily Chron-
icle'S statement.
Most Of the special correspondents in
the near east consider war inevitable but
Bulgarians nor the Turks being really
prepared for it. The former are not suf-
ficiently armed. whilst Turkey does not
feel safe until her lines of communication
are less at the mercy of Bulgarian inSur-
gent bands.

FIERCE AND FATAL FIGHT
Between Police and East Side Gang at
New York City.

New York. Sept. 16.-Onc man was
shot and killed, another was probably
fatally wounded and several others
were badly hurt during a fierce fight
early Wednesday morning, between
the police and an East Side gang of
toughs.
The man who was killed was Michael
Donovan, stevedore. He was shot
in the head and chest and was found
dying in a drug store at Second street
and the Bowery by policeman. -Four
prisoners who were taken to Bellevue
hospital where Donovan had been
taken said they had never seen the
injured man before and Donovan on
his death bed refused to look at them,
saying that he knew who had shot him
and would Elk his assailant when he
got out of the hospital" An hour later
he died.
According to the police one of the
prisoners arrested during the night is
Monk Eastman. They claim that it
was a meeting of members of the Paul
Kelly gang and the Monk Eastman
gang that started the trouble in Which
policemen We're shot at and for which
the reserves of three police stations
had to be called out.
Although the police witnessed the
shooting of several men, the injured
ones were hurried away by their
friends so quickly that the identity of
only two of the wounded is known.
They are John Carroll. a driver, and
Anton Bernhauser, a laborer. Carroll
was shot through the abdomen by q
detective and the physicians say he
cannot live. Bernhauser was shot
through both cheeks.
The police believe the trouble started
over the shooting of Dave Bernstein.
an East side saloon keeper, some
months ago. Several men were arrest
ed for the shooting at the time but &C.
cused and accuser were equally non
committal, each saying that they
would get square" in their own way
at some future date.
The identity of the prisoner as
monk" Eastman was later established
positively. Eastman is one of the men
accused of committing an assault on a
former coachman of David Lamar at
Long Branch. N. j., and released on
bail in that case.
