SHOT HER DEAD.
Salem Bartender Kills Wom. an Who Refuses His
 Attention.

Beverly, Mass, March 3.-Matri- monial difficulties led to a tragedy hero to-day, the victim being Mrs D. Arthur TTask, who was shot and killed at the home of her mother on Front street, this city. The alleged murderer is Joseph Hastings, a bar tender of Salem. Hastings was ar rested in that city, charged with the crime.
 According to the police. Hastings, who had forced his way into the apart ment occupied by Mrs Trask's mother, Mrs Fl. G. Culver, on the second floor Of the Front street house, interrupted the women at their breakfast. He drove Mrs Culver from the room with his revolver and then shot Mrs Trask in the head, killing her almost instant ly. He then left the house and when news of the affair reached Salem gre was arrested there.
 Mrs Trask was waitress in a Bos- ton restaurant. She was about 36 years old and was the wife of H A. Trask of Salem. with whom 1t is said she had not been living for about three years. Hastings, it is said, had been paying attention to her, but of late had become obnoxious on account of drink ing habits and violence when intoxt- cated. It is believed that he followed her from Boston yesterday and re- mained on guard near the house all night. He is about 35 years old and has wife and four children in Solem.

RANDOWN
Ferryboat Chicago Had Collision in Fog--Panic
 on the Ferry.

New York, March 3.-The Pennsyl- vania railroad ferryboat Chicago, on her way from Jersey City to New York to-day, ran down and sank the Henry M.l Tyler, one of tow of coal barges, in the Hudson river. A man, two women and child who were on board the canal boat were rescued The ferryboat, which was crowded with passengers, sustained but little damage, and though slight panic oc- cured the excited passengers were quickly calmed when their safety was assured. The collision was due to the heavy fog.
 Later in the morning, on a trip from Manhattan to St George, Staten Island, the ferryboat Westf1eld was in col lision with an unknown vessel, the for ward part of the ferryboat being torn away. After safely disembarking her fifty passengers at St George the Vest field was lowed by two tugs to Clifton for repairs.

WORST FOG IN YEARS.
Shipping Business Paralyzad at New
 YorK-Many Collisions.

New York, March 3.--Navigation in the rivers and harbor is tied up to-day by heavy fog which settled down on the city and suburbs from the early morning. Ferryboats paid no atten- ton to schedules, but made intermit, tent trips, feeling their way and being guided chiefly by bells and whistles. 1t was impossible to see the length of the piers and on the river the ferries 1oomed up out of the fog suddenly and threateningly, but by careful handling and because of the smaller number of vessels that ventured out, the accl- dents were reduced to minimum.
 The Westheld, Staten Island ferry boat, crashed into a schooner at an- chor near Robbins reef, the schooner's bowsprit catching the Westfelds up per works and crushing through the framework and windows, ripping a hole a quarter of it's length. Tie damage to the schooner is unknown.
 Marine observation points were un- able to see any vessels Several ves- sells are now due and are believed to have anchored in the fog off Sandy Hook.
 The fog is said to be one of the worst in many years and in the city the ele- vated trains were run at reduced head way and frequent blockades on the streets resulted.

BLANSFIELD TRIAL.
The Man Charged With Stealing From
 M. \. Daly a Sons.

Detective Dodds was on the witness stand yesterday when court adjourned for the day, the case of the state
 against Aaron BlansfieId for burss, lary of the premises of M. J. Daly S5 Sons on the night of February 9, 1908. He testified that Blansfield was arrest ed on December last year soon after he left the Bridgeport hospital where he had been some time
 Accused had been i'll the lookup some time when witness called him to the door and told him he would like to have him tell what he knew of the case, that he need not speak if he liked, and that if he did speak he would like him to speak the truth. At this point Attorney Guilfoile ask ed that the jury be excused as he would like to argue on the admissa- was granted but tbe court ruled against him on the evidence, by al- lowing it in. Whereupon the witness resumed. The accused seemed ready to speak, witness said He was with him about fifteen minutes. He prom ised him no reward or made any threats to induce him to speak, but he told accused he knew his people and knew that they would prefer he would speak. He was positive he did not tell accused he would get himself off with only a few months if he should tell what he knew about the case Accused then told witness that he had been to Daly's, but re- mained outside with Clarke and that he would not have gone there had he been sober. The reason, he said ac- cused was not arrested before, was because he fled the town immediately after the alleged burglary.
 Detective Kennaugh corroborated the testimony of Detective Dodds and added slightly to it, and then the state rested. Detective Dodds was recalled by the defense and denied certain statements credited to him.
 Richard Clarke, who was concerned in the case and served six months in jail for it, said he pleaded guilty to the allegation on the advice of his counsel Buffer Ryan and "Con' Hartford we're sentenced to two and three years in the state prison, and Bernard Doyle was discharged. Clarke said he was with Blansfeld all day drinking in an Italian saloon, near the Bank street bridge.
 It was Ryan who suggested the bur glary. He said he new the ropes at Daly's because he had worked there. Blansf1eld they left sleeping on the table when they started for Daly's. Ryan and Hartford got in through a window and handed out the goods in bags. When they returned to the sa- loon Blansfield was gone. Doyle and Patrick Keating were strong witnesses for the defense. Heating testified he saw accused asleep i1f the saloon at about the time the burglary was com mitted and took him home, as he was considerably under the influence of drink. This closed the case. Blans- field was not put on the stand.
