INVESTIGATING THE
 WILSON DEATH

Paris, July 21 The American con- sul general, MT Gowdy. is investigat- ing the tragic death Tuesday of Col onel George Wilson. who fired several shots at Mile Charlotte Murmann, a lady's maid. and afterwards shot him self through the head. Although Will son was generally referred to as re- tired American colonel the papers of the deceased show that his only mili- tary connection was that of member of the Thirteenth battery. New York Volunteer artillery, during the War of the Rebellion. He received a pension, lived for time in Milwaukee and has a daughter living near there. Wilson has no other known relatives.
 The French authorities will bury the body unless the family claims it. Mile Murmann is still in the hospital where she was taken after the shooting, but heF wounds are not considered to be serious.

BITTER TO-DAY.
Sentiment of Cotton Mill Operatives Against the
 Manufacturers.

Fall River, Mass, July 21.-The senti- ment displayed by the cotton mill op- eratives of this city, following their vote last night of about five to one in favor of striking next Monday against the 121a per cent reduction in wages, to-day seemed more bitter against the manufacturers than at any time in re cent years Under the restrictions of secrecy prior to their meeting last night the operatives had not been generally outspoken. With the removal of, that bar, a torrent of indignation has been released and all the smart resulting from a 10 per cent reduction which was accepted last November. from months of curtailment which has caused an average loss of about $33 to each individual and from the latesl an- nouncement of a further reduction of 121a per cent is now being given ex- pression and there is now no doubt in the minds of the citizens that the ac- tion in joining the strike, if it occurs next Monday. will be nearly unanimous among the 30,000 mill hands.
 The general sentiment of the city seems to be one of sympathy for the operatives. The gravity of the situa- ton is recognized and business men are blue. Some suggestion of a popular movement has been made to induce the manufacturers to reconsider their ac- tion in making the reduction, but this has not yet taken definite shape.

INSURANCE AGENTS
 MUST DISCL LOSE

San Antonio, Tex, July 21. Attorney General Bell of Austin has summoned before local magistrate four insur- ance agents, representatives of the greatest insurance companies in the world, in proceeding to disclose in formation relating to alleged violation Of the antitrust law in Texas. The proceeding grows out of a rate war in this city and a truce which was in- tended to sbe permanent adjustment of rates. The testimony was reluctantly given and many witnesses declined to answer on the ground that they might incriminate themselves. This may re- suit in proceedings to deny foreign in- surance corporations the right to do business in Texas.

 Sensation at Westport.

Westport Julq 21-Mrs William H. Porter, who disappeared heyeral weeks ago after telling some neigh bors that she intended to commit sui eide, returned here last evening, and taking her baby from the people who have cared for it, departed again for parts unknown. A few days ago, Deputy Sheriff Frederick Kemper was surprised by the receipt of letter from Mrs Porter in which she dis claimed any intention of killing her self, and said that she had deserted her children because she was unable to care for them. The letter was written in South Norwalk In reply the deputy informed Mrs Porter that she was liable to a fine of $500 and imprisonment for five years, but that if she would take away her baby and never come back, she would not be prosecuted. The deputy said that he had placed three of the children i'll the county home in Norwalk, that ore boy had gone to farm in Brooktield and a girl who is now staying with a neighbor would be sent up country to farm shortly The seventh child, a boy, is ;n prison in Wethers- field, having been sent there a year ago for highway robbery.

BURIED IN THEIR BLOOD.

St Petersburg, July 21.-Rabbi Drah- kin, in an interview had with him by the Associated Press correspondent, as serted that there were 15,00O Jews fighting in the Russian army in Man churia. The rabbi calls attention to the fact that when Jews fall in battle their burial is different from that which occurs when death results in other ways. The Talmudic law re- quires that those who fall in battle shall be buried in their blood. There fore the bodies of such are not placed in shrouds, but are inferred in their clothes.
 Although Jewish soldiers can officiate at such burials, Rabbi Drabkin thinks rabbis should be sent to the far east, together with the instruments pre- scribed by the Jewish ritual the only place in that region where these now are being Harbin.
 The Jews in Russia are subscribing immense sums for the aid of the fam flies of their co-religionists in the field, Odessa alone having contributed $125,- GOO.

ATBROWNSFALL
Twelve Year-Old Maurice Lynch Drowned To-Day
 While Bathing.

Maurice Lynch, the twelve years and six months old son of Maurice Lynch of IA Mattatuck street, was drowned about 11:3O o'clock this forenoon at the dam above Browns falls. With two companions, George and William Dooley of 104 Fairview street, the boys went in bathing and were having good time when the Lynch boy got into deep water and not being good swimmer he went down after a brief struggle. His companions ran to French street where they notified William Seery, who hastened to the scene, reaching there about half an hour after the ac- cident The water Is about ten feet deep where the boy disappeared and in order that no other fatality might occur it was concluded to tie a rope around Seery while he dove after the body. After a few attempts he found the body and carried it to the bank where it remained until Medical Ex- aminer Crane called and gave permis- sion for it's removal. Under taker Mulville was summoned and took the remains to the family residence. The boys father works at the Waterbury Brass Go and knew nothing about the affair until noon. The boy was a bright youngster, had no bad habits and lost his life simply because he failed to heed the warnings so fre- quently sounded to all boys, to keep out of the ponds except when in com pany with somebody who can render assistance in case something happens. The family have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their great bereavement.

 REJOICE Meat Strike Was Settled Quickly. Fifty Thousand Men Will Return to Work To-MOr- row Some of the Strik- CTS Disappointed at Quick Settlement of the Strike, While Others are Happy.

Chicago, July 21.-Fifty thousand butcher workmen who quit work July IF paralyzing the meat industry of the country, will go back to their posts to- morrow morning. While they con tinue peacefully at work board of ar bitration will pass Judgment upon the contentious of the laborers for higher wages and less arduous working condi- tions. and the decision of the arbitra- tors will settle the issues of the great strike
 President DonnelIy of the butchers union had to-day promptly received the approval of all of the executive board members except two. The points yet to be heard from were Syracuse and San Francisco.
 Around the Chicago stock yards to- day there was rejoicing among the strikers as well as the stock men and packing interests. The unionists who had looked forward to seeing the strike spread this morning in sympa- thetic movement involving all the me chanical trades and perhaps the team sters and f1remen, learned with relief that instead of the greater strike there was to be peace in Packingtown Many of the strikers, however. ex- pressed disappointment that their strike, after causing them to lose S1a days of wages. had failed to decide their demands for higher wages or to make it certain that all would be rein stated without greater loss of time
 Only one formality remained to-day to make the end of the strike complete, ThaA %hn Yrn aF J,Cr the agreement ratified President Mi chael Donnelly telegraphed members of the executive board of the Amalga- mated Meat Cutters and Butchers, Workmen last nights results of the conferences. and recommended that they approve it. Donnelly, who oc- cupies commanding position in the union was certain that the ratification of the entire executive board would be received in Chicago to-day.
 MT DonnelIy issued a call for spe- l clal meetings of the various local un- ions of the Amalgamated Meat Gut ters' and Butchers Workmen, to be held tonight. at which meetings in structions will be given the men about returning to work Meanwhile Ehe arranged to have a talk with the packers and learn from them what de partments are to be reopened to-mor- row morning.
 Thousands of laborers who have been on strike appeared at the yards to-day with their lunch pails and ap- piled for work, thinking, since the strike had been declared off, there re- mained nothing to be done except to go back to their old places They were told at the timekeepers' offices of the different plants that they would not be taken back until tomorrow.
 After waiting short time to hear from Syracuse and San Francisco MT Donnelly announced that the last for 1 mality of the truce had been ended He based the announcement on the fact that a majority of the executive board members had telegraphed ap. proval of the terms.
