Many "Btriker's Farm" Saloons.


The Board Of Health reported to Coroner
Scholer yesterday that wood alcohol had

OF the poison in whiskey taken from other

the same as in the samples taken from
Fritsche's place.
All the saloonkeepeB along Tenth

saloon in place Of the one smashed by a

the poison was bought.
Lawyer Smith, Fritsche's counsel, said last
night that it would be impossible to bring
a manslanghter charge against Fritsche.
There was no evidence, he said. to show
that the wood alcohol which caused the
death Of three men was contained in whis-
key sold at Fritsches saloon.
Fritsche, however, has three other charges
against him. The Federal authorities
have a charge against him for rectifying

FOUR ARTILLERYMEN KILLED.
Premature Explosion OF Powder Charge
at Fort winthrop In Boston.

BosToN, Oct. -l5.--Three artillerymen
were instantly killed, one was injured
fatally, dying at P. NJ, and seven others
were wounded by the premature explosion
of a charge in a l2-inch mortar at Fort
Winthrop, about 10 O'Clock this morning
during target practice. The dead are
Sergt. George j. Nevins, Private Edward
Higgins. Private James w. Kelley and
Private Arthur Tomlinson.
COL Mills, oorfimandant Of the fort. said
that he was entirely at a loss to explain the
accident. The gun was a fresh one; that
Is, it had never been fir ed Until Immediately
before the accident. When out for target
practice, 1t is customary to fire three pre-
liminary shots before starting on the eight
shots from which the official target practice
records are complied. The crew had al
ready fired one shot from another gun.
and was getting this one ready when the
powder charge exploded.
The only explanation the commandant
could suggest for the premature explosion
OF powder was that perhaps the cotton
sack in which the charge wac enclosed
caught fire from a spark which might have
been in the air after the firing OF the first
gun, a few feet away. Such thing seems
almost impossible, vet it Ia the only ex-
PLANTATION at present for the explosion.
The fact thap the mortar in which the
charge exploded had not been in Use before
to-day makes it impossible for any sparks
to have been inside the barrel before the
powder charge was put in
Ahead Of the charge Of seventy-fve
pounds of powder was a projectile weigh
ing about $50 pounds. The breech block
was blown from the mortar and some slight
injury done to the wiring on a nearby
piece, but otherwise the property loss will
be small The mortar proper was prac-
tically uninjured.

NODAMAGE Is INFLICTED
Belligerent Lawyer Accuses
Rival of Trying TO Rob
Widow of His Dead Friend

Attorneys H. ]. Kowalsky and p. L.
Dunno engaged in a sharp exchange
Of personalities in Judge Sloss' Court
yesterday. Honors were even when
the court intervened and put a stop to
the war Of words.
The trouble started over the attempt
Of Kowalsky to introduce certain evil
dence in the trial of the suit Of 7. ].
Ryan. administrator Of the estate Of
the late Senator Maloney against the
widow, Della J. Mahoney.
Dunno declared that Kowalsky
was Offering that kind Of testimony
''in order TO rob the widow of his dead
friend" KOwalsky then unloosed his
wrath. He said that Dunno was try
ing 10 run the whole case and the
court. He declared that his adversary
was so vain that he carried his own
picture in his vest pocket, that he
might admire il. After several ex-
changes Of like import hostilities
closed. When the evidence was all in
Kowalsky said he wanted the argu-
ments heard next week, so he could
be present because, in his absence,
DUNES courage would rise like a
thermometer on a hot day" Dunno
eagerly told the colonel that he want
ed him there.
The trial Of the case has been an
echo Of the Blythe Will contest. In
1892 Florence Blythe Hinckley made
a contract with KOwalsky TO pay him
. per cent Of all that he won for her.
Kowalszy made a contract with Sen
ator Mahoney to pay him 10 per cent

dered in the case. When the settle
ment was made Mrs. Hinckley gave
Mahoney her note for $500. Mrs.
Mahoney alleges that the Senator gave
her the note; the other heirs say he
did not. and have sued for its recov-
cry. Colonel KOwalsky intervened in
the suit between the MahOneys and
said the note was his, because Ma
honey had not rendered the services.
