bartender Murdered.

William Herman, a bartender, aged
twenty-five years, was found dead yes
terday in the basement of the saloon at
40 Gratiot avenue, Detroit, Mich. His
head had been nearly cut off, and the
cash register 10 the saloon had been
robbed. Herman was the night bar
tender and was last seen at 2:45 a. M,
when there was no sign of trouble about
the saloon. 1t is supposed that he was
struck down by the robbers, thrown
down the cellar, and heaten with bottles
and that his throat was then cut with
butcher knife. The porter and piano
player of the saloon have been arrested
on suspicion. Late yesterday the de.
tectives arrested John w. Walker. When
Walker was searched iii the detective bu-
reau there was found on him $50 10 sill
yer. He also had the gold watch of the
murdered man. Walker said he was on
Gratiot avenue when he met John Cong
don, former porter 10 the saloon, and
whom the police locked up earlier in the
day. Walker says Congdon gave him
the money and told him that he had
caught "Billy" Herman asleep in a "a
loon and had robbed him while he was
doing. Congdon denied the whole thing.
Congdon is thought to be a Milwaukee
man who has gone under the name OF
Jake Dussold.

Accident to Automobile.

While speeding yesterday morning an
automobile containing nine persons went
IF an embankment at l6lst street and
Jerome avenue, New York, and two
persons, one a woman, were killed.
The machine fell onto the New York
Central Railroad tracks, and the wreck
age was struck by southbound train.
In the automobile when the accident
occurred were five women and four men.
The automobile was in charge of Albert
Moves. AT Jerome avenue and l6lst
street the roadway is between twenty and
thirty feet above the railroad tracks.
When the big machine plunged down
ward it struck near the sOuih-bOund
tracks, and the nine persons and the au-
lOmobile were caught by an incoming
train known as the Croton local. Be.
sides the woman killed, all the eight in
the automobile were more or less injured.
When the CrOton train reached the
Grand Central Station shortly before 2
O'Clock yesterday morning, Engineer
Livingston was placed under arrest. One
of the passengers on the train said it was
running at the rate of about 95 miles
an hour when it struck the machine.
The automobile which was wrecked was
heavy touring car, and, it is said, was
running down Jerome avenue at a rapid
rate of speed Jerome avenue ends alb
ruptly at l6lst street. There is high
bridge at that point to prevent vehicles
from dropping of OH to the track, and it
is supposed that the automobile struck
and broke the bridge.

For SOME time past sensational re-
ports have been published concerning
certain alleged attempts to damage the
new battleship Connecticut, recently
launched at the New York navy yard,
but yesterday a representative shipbuild-
err of Philadelphia, in speaking of the
matter said:
Hysteria is the only term that can be
applied to the performance OF those who
have been giving out the ford reports of
attempts to destroy the battleship Con-
necticut in the New York navy yard.
Whatever may he the truth of the
contention that three deliberate attempts
were made to destroy the battleship, it
is certain that shipbuilders, and, indeed,
some thoroughly informed naval men,
believe that the whole affair has been
Iarcical. 1t is declared by them that
every one of the three instances cited to-
show malicious intent might have de-
veloped naturally in the construction of
any warship. But this is not enough.
II is now stated that it will be necessary
TO place the Connecticut in drydock for
repairs. This lets the light in upon the
whole affair and shows that the ship has
'aultily constructed in the govern
New York. The sister
icut, the Louisiana,
nel at the Newport
ard. No special armed
guard Wa. .,ioyed to protect this ship
nor will she have to be drydocked for
repairs before she has been put in
commission. The Louisiana was built
in less time and will cost less money
than the Connecticut.

A Terrible Tragedy.

Camilla, Ga, Oct. IA terrible
tragedy occurred last evening about ten
miles from here in the vicinity of post
office named Feircloth. A feud had
existed for some time between Charles
Gillenwaters, merchant, and John and
Jim Smith, father and son, and they met
for the first time last night. A fight
followed which resulted in the death of
the father. The origin of the trouble
dates back year ago when the Smiths
were charged with firing into the store
of Gilenwaters. They we're tried for
the ohense, but acquitted. This enraged
Gillenwaters, who swore revenge. Last
evening while Gillenwaters wa stand
ing in the postoffice the Smiths entered.
Don't come in here" shouted Gillen-
waters, ''or I'll blow your heads of. "
The Smiths failed TO heed the warning.
As they crossed the threshold Gillen.
waters levelled his gun and fired both
barrels. simultaneously the Smiths
opened fire with pistols, inaicting wounds
on GiIlenwaters from which he will
die. The Smiths died almost instantly.

Wounded and Robbed by Thugs.

New York, Oct. 7.-One man is dead
and two others are dying from wounds
inflicted by thugs who attempted TO hold
up number of Italian workmen, en-
ployed on the New York Central tracks
near Brewster, n. Y, at midnight last
night. Yesterday was pay day for the
men, and as a result, they were last
night having small sized picnic in one
of the numerous shanties which are used
by the workers on the tracks. About
midnight the door of the shanty was
forced open, and five men stood in the
doorway with reyolyers in their hands.
An order to the inmates to hold up their
hands was followed by amelee in which
the would-be bandits and Italians rolled
over and over on the floor. When the
atmosphere was cleared the bandits had
disappeared, and one man lay dead on
the floor, with two others bleeding to
death from wounds near him. A num-
Der Of the Italians had been injured seri-
ously. The dead mans envelope with

London, Oct. THE following bull
letin on Lady CurzOn's condition was
issued from Walmer Castle this morning:
"Lady Curzon's condition has been
one causing renewed anxiety during the

is being made. If no further compli-
cations ensue, there are good hopes Of
ultimate recovery. Lady Curzon passed
quiet night. Her general condition
remains about the same"

Criticised in Court Circles.

The business habits of King George of
Greece, which lately have been pursued
at the expense of Danise land owners, is
the subject of free criticism in court
circles. His Majesty recently bought
two palaces and farm near Copenhagen
at a low figure and has let them at
high price to rich snobs. When there
King George lives as public guest at
one of the royal palaces. The Newspaper
PoltiKen of Copenhagen asserts that
his majesty recently sent a valuable
historical GObelin tapestry from one of
bis palaces to Paris, where he sold it for
1000 kroners. The entire palace cost
him only 200, 900 kroners,
