YOUNG MOTHER is SLAIN
Shot by Assailant Of Her Honor
After Desperate Struggle.
Mrs. Frank Eusinser. Of Shiloh. n. j..
Found Dead by Her Young Husband
With Their Baby.

Bridgctor. n. with her baby.
nine months old, nesting on her breast,
Mrs. Frank RaSinger, t~wenty-four
years old, was found dead in her home
in Shiloh, near here. by her husband.
A charge of heavy bird SHOT had been
fired at Il range Of l. few feet into
her left side, just below the heart.
Death had been instantaneous. Il cir
cular wound two inches in diameter
reaching nearly through the body.
A posse Of farmers began securing
the country for the murderer, their
wrath Increased by the emphatic
statement Of Rasinger that his wife
was attacked before she was killed.
There was every indication Of Il dcs-
perate struggle in the house, and it is
thought that after the young mother
had been overpOwered she was MUIR
dcred to keep her from making known
the identity Of her assailant. The shot
was fired from RaSinGcr's double bar
relied gum, which had been standing
in 4 corner of the kitchen, each barrel
containing Il charge of No. / shot.
Rasinger left his wife at the house
with their baby at 1 j. N. She was
ironing in the kitchen, but walked Il
short distance from the house with
him, and, kissing him goodbye. re-
turned to her work. He went TO a re-
mote part Of his farm to eXamite some
cattle and. was returning wien he
heard the report of 4 shot in the dircc-
ton of the house. He has told the po-
lice he thought the sound was that of Il
door banging. When he entered the
kitchen he found his wife dead on the
floor, her head close TO his feet. APP
parently she had been shot down when
trying to fec into the open. The baby
had its arms around her neck and vas
crying piteously. 1t had upset its
cradle and crawled across the floor. Its
hands were stained by it's mothers
blood ard the front Of its little white
frock was crimson.
RaSinger was so overcome by the dis
covery that he delayed il looking for
the murderer. When he did give the
alarm no sign of the mysterious GRIM
inal was to be found. Escape from the
farmstead was easy, as big areas Of
the surrounding country are covered
thickly with timber. AS soon as the
news of the murder had spread through
the little community the posse was Or
ganized and 4 thorough search begun.
All towns through which The murderer
might pass We're informed Of the crime
and close watch was maintained at all
these points. Rasinger went with the
posse.
Mrs. Rasinger was a daughter Of
Ananias Wentzell. of Seeley. She WAS
married about two years ago and had
been laDDy.

LUNAT|C RAN WILD IN SHOP
After Pursuing Many Patrick Har-
rigan Cut His Throat
DYING, HE FOUGHT HARD

Elderly widower. Suddenly Becoming
Dashed Through the Buifdins Armed
With a R~azor-Panic Among Girls as
He Slashed at His Neck.
New York City.-Bccoming suddenly
insane in the brass finishing shop OF
Stats & Dillmeier. at $40 South
First street, Brooklyn, Patrick Harri-
ran. a widower, sixty years old, after
trying with Il razor to wound his fel-
low employees and tcrrorizing every
body in the building, cut his throat.
Notwithstanding the fact that his i'll
iurics were fatal. he fought Po-
liceman Fallon, of the Bedford avenue
station, like Il tiger and cut the police
mans left hand.
Harrigan's wife died 4 year ago Il
il is said he never recovered from the
blow. He kept house with his sixteen
ycar-Old son. Some time ago he lost
a Job in Il brass finishing plant through,
q strike, and he has since hung around
Stats Il Dillmeier's shop in an effort
to get employment. William Dill
meier, a member of the firm, took pity
OIL the man and gave him Il job as
brass moulder. Harrigan'S mind did
not appear to be on his work, but Dill
meier said nothing to him. ut {
O'Clock in the morning Harrigan re-
ported for work and was at his
until 10 o'clock.
Then he suddenly screamed, and,
drawing Il razor, ran at the other work
men, SlashinS at them with the steel.
They outran him and escaped without
injury. Schneider Brothers, shoe
manufacturers, and J. Albert, n manu-
facturer of cut glass, are in the same
building. IIarrigan ran up to Schnel-
der Brothers place, where forty girls
were at work. In their presence he
cut his throat. The girls became panic
stricken and rushed frantically down
the stairs to the street. \ numDe OIL
them fell and were tralnpled on.
Meanwhile Harrigan had entered Al
bert's shop and terrified the employees
there. All this time he was hacking
at his throat. All the people in the
building ran into the street and left
the mailman in complete possession.
Policeman Fallon was attracted by
the tumult. Fallon drew his club and
entered the building. Harrigan was
behind a door and he made q savage
attack upon the policeman. Fallon
used his club, and although he struck
the maniac again and again, the crazy
man seemed to be possessed OF super
human strength and succeeded i'll
wounding Fallon.
Harrigan finally broke away from
the policeman and ran up an iron stair
way. Fallon followed. On the second
landing they had another desperate
fight and both rolled down the stairs.
Harrigan arose and staggered into the
yard, where he fell OF a pile Of ashes.
Fallon then disarmed the man and
quickly sent for an ambulance to he
Eastern District Hospital. Dr.. Cam
eron found Harrigan dying and took
him at once to the hospital.
The Rev. Father O'Bricn. Of SITS. Pc
ter and Paul's Church. was summoned
and lie administered the last rites OF
the Roman Catholic Church to Harri-
gan.
Some of the women who had been
chased out of the building were afraid
to return to work and went home.

RUSSIA LOSES THOUSANDS
NAV Prove to Be the Worlds
Greatest Battle.
CZAR'SC ASUALTIESABOUT 10000

Torrents Swel'ed the Streams and Pre-
vented the Retreat of the Armie'-The
,Japancse Sustained But Small Losses
In Conparison-Many Guns Are Cap
tured by Brown Men.
Toxic, Japan.-There is q strong ap'
peal for peace in the appalling tragedy
which has been under enactment in
Manchuria. Both armies had been
fighting around Shakhe fcrociously for
a week, and the desperate fighting still
continued. 1t is probable that the
death roll will be largely increased be-
fore the final shot. is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate that
In this battle about 10000 men of both
sides have been either killed or
wounded, the larger portion Of them
being Russians.
Field Marshal Oyama estimates the
Russian dead left on the field, includ-
ing those killed in the latest fighting,
at over 10000. Detailed reports re-
ceived here show that this estimate
will probably be exceeded.
1t is reckoned, applying the usual
calculation as to the ratio Of killed to
wounded, that the Russian casualties
exceed %, 1000.
The Right Army (Kuroki's) alone has
buried $500 Russians. A dispatch from
the japanese field headquarters says:
THE losses sustained by the army
opposing our Right Army so far as as
certained are as follows:
Bodies left near Pensihu on the left
bank Of the Tai-Tse River, $50: in
front of our Pensihu detachment, 1900;
at Talien, 800; near Tumentsu, 300; be-
fore the right column, 200; near Kiou.
inkok and north Of Tumentsu, 1900;
ZEAL Chienlao, 800; north of Panlassan
and near Wumingsu, $50; before the
left column near Shaotakou and north
ward, 200; total, 1900.
1.-THE number left in other places has
not been counted yet, but it is large.
1.-THE enemy's loss in this direction
must exceed 10000. Among the tro-
phies reported captured are 200 shells,
six ammunition wagons and much un-
counted munition."
The total Of the Russian dead left in
front Of the Centre Army (Nodzu's) is
estimated at $500.
General Kuropatkin's story left the
Russians still tenaciously holding the
north bank Of the Shakhe River, but
the general belief is that this is only
the desperate finale of one Of the great
est military dramas of history, and that
the Russian army as a whole was re-
firing toward Mukden, having suffered
ut the most conservative estimate a
loss of over 10000.
The weather conditions were even
worse than during the retreat from
Liaoyang. Streams were bank high
and fords werr impossible. but it was
impossible to say how this would affect
the final situation.
Fragmentary reports of the japanese
casualties are coming in. General Oku
lost $500 men.
Estimates Of the total Japanese
losses were not possible. but they were
small in comparison with tho ~friShtful
losses of the Russians.

London, England.-Thc st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Telegraph
revives in a new form the story that
Russia is obtaining South American
warships. He says that judging from
the status of the officials who affirm
the statement it must be true.
1t is to the effect that Russia has in
duced three Of the South American re-
publics to depart from strict neutrality
and to sell warships, which will be
used to prey on American and British
trade with Japan.
Chile and Argentina have each sold
three cruisers and Brazil one. The

where Russia keeps gold deposits. The
actual payments are to be made in
