BAN OF MURDER CHARGE

HAVE NARROW ESCAPES

Two alleged murderers. James OLeary
and Cyrus Hubbard, were released from
the county Jail yesterday, O'Leary because
Of a lack of evidence ard Hubbard because
the grand jury was convinced that he
acted in self-defense when he killed, his
brother Otis. O'Leary was arrested FEB.
ID for the murder of his wife, who died at
the City Hospital, where she was taken
while i'll with pneumonia. 1t was discov-
cred b. physicians that she was also suf-
fering from many injuries, among them
being two broken ribs. 1t is said that be-
fore she died she confessed to Deputy Cor
oner Gels that her husband had inflicted
the injuries. He was arrested at Southport,
was lodged in Jail and was soon taken i'll.
He was nursed by fellow-prisoner, Frank
Ross. who in all probability saved his life.
IL was due to the belief of the hospital
physicians that the woman died as a re-
suit or the injuries rather than her illness
tnat caused the charge of murder to be
brought against OLeary. This theory was
not shared by the police, and since the
death OF Deputy Coroner Gels the matter
mas been dropped. Hubbard, believing
himself in danger of being attacked by his
brother Otis, struck him on the head with
a billiard cue in the saloon of Patrick Mo-
Rarity, on Martindale avenue. This trag-
edy occurred about the 18th of March 1t
was shown that Otis had followed Cyrus
and had endeavored to provoke a fight
When cornered Cyrus defended himself,
and the blow rendered the younger Hub
bard unconscious. He was taken to a
room over the saloon, and was found there
dead the next day.

ARC LIGHT KICKED OUT

A safe in the grocery of William Lichten-
berg, Ohio and Liberty streets. was blown
open at 4 o'clock Monday morning by two
men, who Immediately made their escape.
Mr.. Lichtenberg is in the habit of leav-
ing the outer doors to his safe unlocked
and standing open, since his cash is always
deposited elsewhere during the night.
Mrs. Digge, who lives across the street
from the scene of the robbery, saw two
men come to the corner and after looking
in all directions one of them lowered the
arc light, which is suspended over the
street crossing, and extinguished it by shat
tering it with his foot The men then
gained entrance to the grocery by forcing
the doof and one of them remained outside
Whlle the other entered to complete the
work
The knob of the safes inner doors was
removed and an explosive was inserted. The
noise of the explosion awakened Mr.
Lichtenberg, who lives in rooms over his
grocery. and he rushed to the front win
dow, raised ii and looked into the street
The report of a revolver followed and bull
let whisted past his head. He procured
his own revolver and fired several times
in the air TO attract attention. Meanwhile
the safeblower having opened the inner
doors, extracted the small metal box in
which money is ordinarily kept and with
this under his arm he fled, taking also
three bottles of whisky.
Detectives who were detailed to the case
believe that it is the work of professionals
and think that they will be able to trace
the men.

Houses Burn.

Two houses at Is, IS and 20 Beville ave-
nue. were totally destroyed by fire which
originated from a defective flue yesterday
morning. Mrs. Louisa Stottleblower, her
two daughters, two sons and four boarders
occupy No. 20, in which the fire started.
The fire was discovered by a small son of
Mrs. Stottleblower. His mother at first
thought he was joking and told him to re-
turn to bed. When the fire had gained

ley lie Page, small boy, ran to a fire box,
opened the door. but forgot to pull the lever.
The first report of the fire came from the
Waterman in the courthouse tower. When
the department arrived the flames had
spread 10 a double house adjoining owned
by Mrs. r. Helen Wildan and occupied by
Charles Leaphart and j. II. Likens Both
houses were totally destroyed, Mrs Stottle-
blower sustaining loss of 81 200 in addition
TO the furniture. The damage to the double
house is estimated at $1,000. Mrs Stottle-
blower carried no insurance. Fireman A
f. Lehman, of hose company No. 90 fell
through the roof of the Stottleblower house
and was painfully burned during the fire.

Laxity in License Payments VIII
Probably Be Followed
by Action.

A comparison of the receipts of the city
controllers office in vehicle and bicycle
permits for all of the year up to yesterday
evening with the corresponding period of
last year shows that 1904 is travelling sew
eral thousand dollars behind 1903, although
the receipts of the office in those fees last
week reached 1854. the maximum.
Up to April Is last year. S.5S5 dollar Ii
censes had been paid, 2.26S 81 licenses 3,521
50 licenses, lao IS licenses, sixty-one Sc
licenses and 1l3 IS licenses, a total of
$32.3O1. At o'clock yesterday evening Ii
censes for this year had been paid as fol-
lows: 60S6 dollar licenses. 1927 of 81. 9,479
of -, 1858 of 50, sixty-two of Sc and III of
y each, total of $2S,427 This is S, s74 less
than for the corresponding period in 1902
The number if miscellaneous licenses TO
which considerable attention has been paid
this year, will make the difference some
what less. The city controller is consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of making few prose-
cutions of delinquent license payers in
order to persuade those who are still ont

TO pay fine in Police Court for violation

PAINTERS LOSE MONEY
BY COMPETITIVE AWARD
Are Forced to Accept Less than
Contract Figure for Decorat-
ing Tomlinson Hall.

The award of the contract for painting
the interior of Tominson Hall to Fertig
kevers by the Board of Public Works
yesterday is of interest for the fact that
the contract price, $500 is $40 less than
the price for which the same firm was to
do the work some days ago by private con-
tract
In order to get the work done before the
performance of "Parsifal" in Tomlinson
Hall the Board OF Public Works made a
contract with Fertig & Kevcrs without
advertising for bids for 81. 40. This action
was afterward rescinded at the advice of
the city attorney, as II was contrary 10
an express provision of the charter for the
making OF contracts for public works and
bids were advertised for in the regular
manner
Otner bids submitted in answer to this
advertisement were by r. j. Mack & Co

in Confectionery Establish

OTHERS ESCAPE HURTS

William NJ. Hufford foreman in the
candy factory of the Krull-Nichols Com
pany, at Georgia and Meridian streets, was
seriously burned by the explosion of a
steam candy kettle on the fourth floor of
the establishment yesterday afternoon.
Miss Clara Colscher, 900 Horton street, one
of the employees, was standing fifteen feet
distant at the time of the explosion, and
was painfully burned. The accident oc-
CURED just as Hufford had finished inspect
ing fteen-gallon kettle of boiling syrup.
The force of the explosion threw him to the
floor. He was severely burned on the face
chest and arms, and was removed to his
home under a physicians care. Miss
Colscher was not dangerously injured. 1t
is thought that some of the rivets in the
long-used kettle became weak and caused
ii to explode. The fragments of the kettle
did not scatter through the room, but stuck
to the pipes which surrounded it. and to
this fact is due the escape of the other
employees

lessons FLOOD DANGER

A survey of the proposed straighter
course of Fall creek was made yesterday
by the bridge commission of the CONNER

route should be in an almost straight line
from the present bend, west of Capitol

fourth street to a point west of North

would rejOin the natural bed, slightly to

The reception Of Rojestvensky's report
is without qualification AND further the
press in some Instances even goes 30 far
as to accuse England of completely with
Japan in an effort to sink the Baltic
fleet. How any people in their right
senses could entertain SO absurd a
view is beyond the comprehension OF
the ordinary mortal but It is not pos
sible that the Russian press is sincere
in the attitude 1t has taken in the mat
ter. The Russian papers and dis
patches have often commented on the
unreasonable stubbornnes of the Jap
anese in resisting Russian authority
but it is a fact that for unrelenting,
chuckle- headed -stubbornness Russia is
entitled to the palm over ali other ma
tions.
