SAVED THE
 WOMAN. But Lost His Own
 Life.
Hartford Gate Tenders 5 PIuc1Ey Deed Rushed Wo- man Out of Trains Way and Was Killed Instantly.

Hartford, Conn, May 19.-While at tempting to save woman from sure death at the Walnut street railroad crossing today, John Morris, a gate tender, lost his own life. He was struck and killed by the S:1O train from Willimantic. The woman whose iden- tity is unknown disappeared immedi- ately after the accident.
 Morris was on duty at the crossing which is close to dangerous curve when he saw the woman start to cross. Knowing that train was rounding the curve, Morris shouted a warning whereupon the woman stopped in the middle of the track She appeared inclined to argue the matter. Morris when the train was almost upon them gave the woman violent shove which sent her clear of fhe track. but he was himself thrown in the way of the en- zine. His death was instantaneous. He was 55 years old and leave two grown up daughters.
 In the excitement following the ac- cident, the woman and young man who is thought to have been her companion went away without leaving their names.

PLEAD GUILTY.
New York Iron Contractor Gets Thirty Years
 in Prison.

Somerville, \. J., May 19.-George H. Wood, the New York iron contrac- tor, today pleaded guilty of murder in the second degree in shooting George Williams, a grocer of Watching, oll February 2. Wood was sentenced to thirty years in prison. At the opening of the trial he had pleaded not guilty of murder in the first degree and. his counsel had declined an offer by the prosecution to accept plea of guilty of murder in lesser degree. That plea was withdrawn soon after court opened to-day and the plea of guilty substituted.
 Woods new plea of guilty was made after a conference between the prose cutor. the judge and the prisoners counsel in which that disposition of the case was agreed upon. Wood was in tears while the new plea was en- tered and sentence was imposed to- day. The sentence was the full limit Of the law.
 The case was remarkable chiefly for the novel defense set up in behalf of Wood. In his defense an attempt was made to show that Wood was victim of aphasia of epilepsy, that he had a dual personality, and that his move ments while in one state were con- frolled by the evil influence of "a small black man." who existed only in Woods diseased fancies. Medical ex- perts declared that Wood knew the diff ference between right and wrong.

TYLER GIVES UP.
Bucks Hill School lnjunc- ton Withdrawn
 To-Day.

The injunction which William NJ. Tyler of Bucks hill had issued few days ago restraining the district com mittee and the building committee from proceeding with building new school was withdrawn today. There was to have been hearing on mo- ton to disolye the injunction yesterday but 1t was put of by agreement as there was to be a meeting of the tax payers last evening. The meeting was held and before the Tyler cohorts knew where they were the Foster crowd had carried the day. In view of this sit uation Mr Tyler concluded 1t would be useless for him to take the injunction proceedings any further and he accord ingly had the matter withdrawn.

TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
3Airs Faeteriss at Trey Hay bs shut
 Dswn.

Troy, \. Y., May 19.-A general shutdown of the extensive shiyt, collar and cuH factories here is feared owing to the trouble which has existed for fortnight between the starchers and employers. Nine of the large factories having laundry plants are now anected and no work is being laundered tn those shops because the starchers re fuse to handle the work. If the work cannot be laundered business in the factories is likely to halt unless the manufacturers decide to utilize non- union help, of which there is no indl- cation.
 The trouble started In the laundry department of Cluett, Peabody & Co. said to be the largest plant of the kind in the world. The employees demanded more wages, which, they said. had been cut doYn: also the reinstatement of discharged employees. The firm re fused, and the starchers quit, together with those in the side plant. Material from these two was offered in other plants, but the starchers refused to handle 1t and left the various shops Thus the trouble spread and as goods cannot be handled except through the laundering departments, about 1000 hands, many of them girls, are now without work. If the strike continues many thousand more will be involved. The strike is also extending along other lines. Teamsters are refusing to handle goods from the shops, while the manufacturers have been notified by the express company agents that they did not care to take the goods from the factories and endanger the men working on their wagons. Many cases that were packed for the express men to take away remain unmoved.

TOO MANY POTATOES.
Big Slump in Prices in Maine Owing
 to Last Years Bumper Crop.

to Last Years Bumper Crop.
 More than 3.OOO.OOO bushels of sound and plump potatoes are lying in the storehouses and cellars of Aroostook county. Maine. unsold and with no prospect of being sold this season.
 Last fall at harvest time buyers were offering 5O cents a bushel for the crop as 1t came from the ground. but the farmers remembered the previous spring when potatoes sold for from 4fBU to $f75 d barrel. and held on and Wa4Na6 fyf Aafise. To-day Thomas H. Phair. who owns more than thirty starch factories in the county, is run ming every one at full capacity and can purchase all the potatoes he can handle for from 15 to 17 cents bushel.
 Last October a farmer could put ten bushels of potatoes into a one horse wagon and take them to the nearest village and exchange them for barrel of -four. Now he must make two trips and carry twenty-five bushels of pota- toes to each load before he can carry away a barrel of the same kind of flour.
 Not at any time since the county was opened up to the white settlers have potatoes been 30 plentiful and cheap. The custom house inspectors who watch the 25O miles of border between Maine and the maritime provinces are sitting back in their offices. smoking pipes and telling stories of old times. fully convinced that no subject of King Edward VII will try to smuggle pota- toes across the border for the sake of selling them for 15 cents bushel.
 The peculiar feature about the situ- ation is that every farmer is engaging fertilizers in larger amounts than usual and is planning to plant still wider areas to potatoes the coming season. The total crop in the county last sea- son was something phenomenal, ex- ceeding II .O00O. 900 bushels.
 If all the land that is to be planted in potatoes this year gives an average yield the harvest next fall will exceed 15.OOO.0OO bushels. Scores of farmers are mortgaging their places to raise money for the purchasing of fertilizers.
 We have been hit hard" said one of the heavy losers. land now we gre going to use some hair from the same dog to cure the bite"

CUT THE WIRES.
Thieves Then Fastened the Doors and Robbed
 Jewelry Store.

Chicago, May 19.-After cutting tele- phone wires leading to the jewelry store of Louis Antoine, in North ave nue, three young robbers last night fastened the front and rear doors of the place with iron bars, then smashed in a large plate glass window in the front and escaped with diamond rings and gold watches valued at $2.5O0. The theft was committed in exactly the same manner as the robbery Of the jewelry store of T. D. Lande, in West Madison street last Tuesday night and the police are convinced the same men were engaged in this robbery. The raid occurred while the street was lighted brilliantly and while scores Of persons were passing.

PEACE IN SIGHT.


 Chicago, May 19.-Overtures look ing to peaceable settlement of the teamsters' strike here were temporari- ly set aside to-day. Through the de parture Of President Gompers for Dayton, O., last night the chief influ- ence upon which hopes of peace were centered was removed.
 The defiant attitude of International President c. r. Shea and his bitterness toward the State street merchants, whom he accuses of conspiring to wreck the teamsters' organization, seemed to preclude the possibility Of any definite steps toward an adjust ment Of the trouble before the return Of Mir Gompers to Chicago. He ex- poets to renew his negotiations to-mor- row.
 The aldermanic committee held con ferences today with representatives of the teamsters and attorney Levy for the employers. Chairman W. E. Dever expressed himself as satisfied with the progress made.
 The most encouraging phase of the situation to-day was the change of front on the part of the teamsters in entering into negotiations with the team owners and considering proposi- ton from that body to arbitrate the question of deliveries to the boycotted houses. Should the teamsters' council at its meeting tonight accept the team owners arbitration proffer 1t was gen. orally believed to-day that the end of the strike is at hand. An adverse de cision would be the signal for raising the strike against all business firms now affected except the State street department stores. the eJ,ressl com panies and the coal concerns.
