that the case would be carried to higher
court.

Judge Scott.
Attorney Leckie also questioned the right
of the court to enter a fine for each lot, but
Judge Scott allowed the fine to stand.
T. b. ~Reanney, who lives on b street. in
South Washington, was the next defendant.
He said he did not rent direct from the
agent of the house, but that he was renting
from one who had leased the house and
that, not being direct renter and having
no relation with the agent, he did not be-

cleaned the snow from the sidewalk. Judge
Scott was of the same opinion, and told the
policeman that he should be more careful
hereafter and find out who was responsible

She broke down entirely at the sight and
dropped to her knees sobbing bitterly.
After a few minutes she was led away.
Then a stretcher was brought and, covered
with plain soldiers cloak, the remains of

the blood streaming from his face where he
had been wounded by fragments of the

draw his revolver
The man did not deny his crime, but on
the contrary gloried in its success. He ex-
pressed his satisfaction that he had been
able to Kill the grand duke without nvolv-
ing the latter's innocent wife. He avowed
his membership in the social revolutionary
organization, but refused to give his name,
and at the Jail his papers were found to be

In a Hail of Iron.

In a minute the carriage was in front of
the courts of justice, where the walls of the
triangle approach, forming narrow en-
trance to the Nlkolsky Gate There a man,
clad in workmans attire, stepped forward
from the sidewalk and threw bomb which
he had concealed beneath his coat.
A terrible explosion followed, and hail or
iron pelted the grim stone walls of the ar
senaI and courts of justice A thick cloud
of smoke, snow and debris arose. When 1t
had cleared a CHASTITY sight was presented.
On the snow lay fragments of the body of
Grand Duke Sergius. mingled with the
wreck of the carriage.
The grand dukes head had been torn from
his body and reduced to a shapeless pulp,
and the trunk and limbs were frightfully
mangled. A finger bearing a rich seal ring
was found lying several yards away. The
crimson tint and sickening smell of blood
were everywhere. Only a few fragments of
cloth indicated that the body had been once
clothed.
The coachman lay moaning with pain be-
side a deep hole in the pavement. The
horses, dragging the front wheels of the
carriage, had dashed off, maddened with
pain, TO sink dying, before they reached the
gate.
The sound of the explosion was heard
throughout the city and even beyond the
river. A crowd began to assemble, and
even to handle grim evidences of the
tragedy while they discussed the affair In
awestruck voice. Police officials rapidly
gathered, but before anything could be
done toward collecting the scattered frag
ments of the body Grand Duchess Elizabeth
drove up In an open carriage. She had
dropped her work at the headquarters of
the Red Cross and sped to the scene of the
crime without waiting to don her outer
wraps.

Van Worst Park the Scene Of
Much Excitement at Noon
Yesterday.
AMATEUR SLEUTHS ALERT
DETECTIVES, sALooNKEEPEgs,
MEN AND WOMEN WAIT 10
CAPTURE THE CRIMINAL AND
CLAIM THE REWARD.

The mysterious Mr.. Raffles for an
hour or more about noon yesterday cre-
ated more excitement than has thus far
developed in a strenuous political cam
paign. The announcement that he would
be in Van Worst Park around about the
noon hour drew thousands of sleuths, pro-
fessional and amateur, to say nothing of
men and women and children anxious to
win the $500 offered for his capture. The
local interest in Mr.. Raffles's scheme is
the crowd that gathered, augmented even
by Gothamites, Brooklynites. Bronxites,
Hobokenites and aany other kinds of
ites-all impressed with the idea that
they are especially endowed with de-
teetiye instincts, but many of tlsem trust
ing more to chance to grab the $780,
And some We're so exceedingly anxious
that they didn't hesitate to hold up every
person with whom they did not have a
personal acquaintance, thereby making
nuisances of themselves and yet adding
greatly to the amusement of the crowd
Some of these We're welLdressed women.
One man who was looking for Raffles-
or rather fer the $3O0-was suddenly
confronted with his wife whom he de-
serted three months ago. He had no
occasion to declare that he was not Raf-
fies. There was a scene and for mo-
ment the big curious crowd forgot all
about Raffles. Meanwhile, so far as can
be ascertained, Raffles was one of the
most curious in the crowd, and after it
was all over walked away unmolested.
But aside from the excitement at the
park there was activity in the detective
line in all the stores, cafes and public
places in the vicinity of the park, where
the mysterious Mr. Raffles might have
happened to drop in. Many of these
We're on the look out for the $500. no
doubt, but many others were actually
more interested in not being made to
feel bad by seeing their descriptions in
print and having tier friends guy them
for. so easily letting $500 get away from
them under their very noses. A bunch
of constables came down from the Court
House. Some one said Prosecutors De-
tective Capt Jack Graham was seen in
the park, but this rumor could not be
verified. Every cafe proprietor and bar
tender was on the alert and Eddie Neal,
the accomplished mixologist of a leading
| cafe not thousand miles from the City
Hall, eyed up every stranger that for
two hours during the excitement lined
up in front of the bar, believing that Mr.
Raffles, on his way to or from the park,
might possibly try to ring one in on him.
1t wasn't the $500 he was after.
Police Headquarters was even on the
qui yive, and it was a lucky thing that
Mr.. Raffles didn't happen to make a
second visit there, as Detective-Sergeant
William Robinson, Bertillon Operator,
was on desk duty.

Assemblvman Ernst exnIained the ad-

He also eloquently discussed the ad-

lie for weeks and weeks heaped with

melt it and carry it off through the sew
srs instead of giving 800 or 400 poor
men out of work a chance to make a few
dollars to take home to their families.
Mr.. Sullivan said that the Mayor was
a comparatively rich man to-day, and
hat he cared nothing about the poor,
and although he had enjoyed the emolu-

WHEN the goNfng clans gathered early

championship they admitted that Boston,
I'd use the phrase, looked good" With
three of the four remaining contestants

left the situation this way: Miss Geor-.

Grace Keyes, Concord.
Numerically it was thre to one in favor

dEately after Miss Bishop won her title
at Philadelphia year ago she lost TO
Miss Mackay IN an open tournament at

The other match showed a decided con-

with the reception accorded him at the

than the welcome given Mayor tagan
and it yas this as much as anything that
set tle Pagan managers thinking. Al
though the hall was filled it was very
evident that there were more Kaiser Re
