Goystts Woman Says Wrist
and Arms Ware SIashs1 With
knife at "MudhoIa" QI.nlI

In an outhouse at Arctic Centre this
morning a woman, was discovered by a
local storekeeper named Archambault, in
a serious condition from cold and expo
sure who had several bad cuts on her
wrist and arms, as though made by a
knife or razor
Mr.. Archambault, assisted the poor
creature TO his store and summoned med
ical aid for her. When her wounds were
dressed and she was partly thawed out
by the warmth OF the store she told her
story
She stated that she had been an inmate
OF the Fairview Hotel. known as the
'Mudhole." through the valley for some
three weeks. Yesterday she said the man
who conducts the place and his wife got
into a quarrel and had quite fight before
they were through She said she stood up
for the woman and then she did not re-
member much till she found she was cut
Her former home was at Slocums, r. /,
she said and gave her name as Goyette
Her story was a rather disconnected
one and when IL was found no more could
be learned Town Sergeant Shippee, who
had been summoned took her TO the town
farm in his carriage and she will be cared
for there until the authorities have in
vestigated the case
The clubhouse In which she was found
was about two miles from the Fairyiew
Hotel where she says the quarrel occur
red.

ATTORNEY
MADE A
MISTAKE
Claim Made That Il Should
Not Operate 10 Bar Collection
Under a Verdict.

The defendants petition for a new trial
In the case OF Bernard r. McDermott. ad-
ministrator on the estate OF Patrick T.
Smith VS.. the Rhode Island company was
submitted to the appellate court today.
A jury gave plaintiff a verdict for $500
Owing to a mistake no request was
made by counsel OF the defendant COM
pany for an extension OF time TO als state
ments and no petition for a new trial was
filed within time in the common pleas d.
vision. Execution was granted Nov. q.
1903. and was presented to the claim agent
and a petition was filed for new trial
under sections and OF chapter 81 OF
the General Laws.
Execution was stayed after the attor-
ney for the defendant had made an af-
fdavit In which II appears that the stem
ographer was ordered TO write up the
testimony and that having given the order
''the formality OF having the time ex-
tended In. writing by the court escaped
the attention OF the attorney I'm the
press OF other matters and ne gave no
further thought TO IL until he was noti-
fed that an execution had been issued.
This mistake OF the attorney, plaintiff
insists. is not suflcient ground for the
court 10 grant a new trial when the time
has elapsed within which anv~appeal
should have been taken In due course
Forgetfulness to take an appeal IL is
argued. Is not mistake within the legal
sense and does not justify the further
staying OF the execution.

Ithaca. N. Y. Dec. 14.--Just before he
left his home on Cornell campus to sal
for Italy. Andrew ID. White, first presl-
dent OF Cornell and former ambassador
TO Germany. spoke before a gathering OF
friends on the lack OF consideration which
Uncle Sam shows his representatives
abroad.
"If foreign envoy succeeded in avert
ing, just for half a day, serious war
between America and a European nation
the expense saved would be enough TO
support the entire embassy OF the United
States In splendid style for a hundred
years" said Mr.. White to enforce his
point.
When he first arrived at Berlin, he said
he found IL was customary for newly ap-
pointed envoys To give three great re-
ceptions TO the diplomatic corps and Of
ncers. IL was necessary TO hold these
receptions In private apartments, not at
a hotel. He had neither apartments nor
furniture. but soon obtained the former.
His troubles began when he looked for
furniture. The shops in Germany keep
only small stock OF furniture because
their customers order their goods made
