MANY DEER HAVE BEEN SHOT.
Open Season Closes with Plenty Left in the
Adirondacks.

Glens Falls, y Y. Nov H-More deer have been
killed in the Adrondacks during the open season
which closes tomorrow at midnight than during
any season in the last ten years. The Forest Fish
and Game Commissioners estimate Of the number
of carcasses of deer taken out of the woods by rail
ways is 1854 and it is likely that more than that
number were taken out by wagon or were killed by
persons who lived within the border of the forest
For the last three days hunters have been coming
in with deer by the wagonload. Guides report that
there are plenty Of deer left In the opinion OF
men who have studied the question. the number OF
deer will increase rather than diminish edch year
under the present protective laws.
Plattsburg, y. Y. Nov. 14.-Reports from North
Creek Lake Placid. Chateaugay Lake, McCol-
lum's. Lake Titus, Saranac Lake, Fulton Chain
and other Donts indicate that more deer have been
killed than in several years. Snow Is falling to-
night throughout the Adirondacks. making IL SO

WOULD THE OPERATION BE MAYHEM
Lawyers Raise an Interesting Point in the
Ear Case.

An interesting legal question, going back TO old
English common law. may prevent the much
talked of grating which DIT. A. l. Nelden ex-
pected to accomplish Tuesday. Lawyers were
saying yesterday that under the mayhem statute
DIR. Nelden would be open to criminal prosecution
If he cut an ear from man. As to whether the
willingness Of that man to sell his would make
the law not applicable they were not prepared to
say.
The Mayhem law is a statute providing punish
ment or any one who mutiIates another de
pr1ves him OF an important member. The word
itself Is an old English form of the present day
MAIN In the ordinary mayhem cases with
which the police deal some rufffan has torn an ear
OF another in fight bitten the tip of a nose or
cheWed of a finger In all such there IS a
decided unwillingness the part OF the victim
The to lose the ear. however, will be eager to
get his 5000. and what qualifying effect this might
have on the statute. lawyers could not say without
studying the law and the preCedents.

Nrontclair n J. Nov 1.-THE body OF Mrs. T.
De Witt Walsh rests in a grave in Mount Hebron
Cemetery in Montclair Heights tonight. The
home on Nountain-avc is closed forever. and the
sorrowing members OF the family scattered in
different directions. Great secrecy planned in
regard TO the funeral to avoid snapshots from
photogra piers While it given out that the
services would be held this morning they we're
not held until this afternoon at go o'clock. and
attended only by the immediate relatives ana
the dinner guests of Wednesday. These were. be
sides the family the mother and two sisters OF the
deceased woman, from Brooklyn; Mr.. and Mrs. H. 6
Earle and Thomas Doremus. The officiating cler-
gyman was not the Rev. DR. Amory H Bradford
had been announced. but the Rev Mr. Walsh
of New-York an uncle of the husband. said TO be
Episcopal rector.
The husband is said be heartbroken over the
sad fate that befell his wife and could not endure
the surroundings after the funeral Accordingly.
after the services the servants dismissed the
house was placed in charge of caretaker. and the
relatives and friends took n long farewell. MI
Walsh and his son. eighteen months old. his own
child, went to a hotel in New-York taking with
them the little ones nurse. The other boy. the
deceased woman's eight-year-old by former
husband. went with his grandmother. Mrs. Arnold
TO her Brooklyn home. 1t is reported here on trust
worthy authority that Mr. Walsh may decide to sell
everything in the house auction and try to forget
the sorrowul past.
The truth about the cause for the suicide. on
which all the facts seem to agree is. according TO
friends who talked with Mrs Walsh before her
death. that she dreaded another operation When
she was taken with severe pains at the dinner @
passed through two operations previously ana sur
fered great agony When she recovered conscious
suffering in store for her. and I'm all probability

THEY AGREE UNDER CONDITIONS.

Concerning the arrangements for financing the
Seabosrd Air Line Railway Company. negotia-
lions regarding which have been carried on for
several days It is learned that :. Davies War
field. president OF the Continental Trust Com
pany. Of Baltimore. and interests in Baltimore
and Richmond owning and controlling large
majority Of the stock OF the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company. have requested Thomas F.
RYAN and Blair g. Co to furnish the funds
deemed necessary by the officers Of the company
10 complete the Atlanta and BirIningham extern
sion and TO take care Of the floating debt.
Blair d Co. and Mr.. Ryan have agreed to fur
nish the amount asked for, provided the man
aEement of the property is intrusted to a board
Of directors named by them.
II is understood that the plans proposed have
the approval Of President John Shelton Williams
and his associates.
The Seaboard Air Line control is lodged in a
voting trust, which runs until April !. 1910. al
though the voting trustees may in their dIscre-
ton deliver the stock at an earlier date. 1t is
believed in Wall Street that the arrangement
with Mr.. Ryan and the Blairs foreshadows the
early dissolution OF the voting trust Five OF
the nine voting trustees retired last summer,

cpal stockholders which the latter found them-
selves unable to meet. and four new trustees

the North American Trust Company, and Presi-
dent B. r. Yoakum and II. Clay Pierce OF the

The presence Of Messrs. Yoakum and Pierce in
the voting trust gave rise TO the belief that the
control Of the SeabOard had passed TO the

meets at Birmingham. Ala. but this has been
officially denied.
