was also asked with reference to an
affair that occurred IN EmDoria in
1899. 1 made a statement about those
matters and nothing else, and I wish
to say that I am in no way connected
with Mr. Vernon's fight. If he is
guilty or if he is not is an immaterial
matter to me. If he can succeed
have no objection, and wish it plainly
understood by everyone that am IN no
way connected with the rumors that
have gone out. g. W. HATS.

Daniel B. WessOn head of the famous
pistol manufacturing firm Of Smith & Yves
son. and one Of the wealthiest men in New
England, died suddenly Of heart disease
Saturday afternoon in his mansion on Ma
pie street in Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Wes-
SON had been in poor health for several
wears. Four years ago he was stricken with
neuritis sud since then had been confined
to his home most Of the time.
About a year ago he was the recipient Of
several black hand letters, in which the
writer threatened to destroy his So, 600, 900
mansion and all its inmates with dynamite if
certain sum of money were not forthcom
ing. The nervous dread and excitement
caused by this served to further undermine
his health After the death of his wife it
was seen that he was declining rapidly. Five
days before his death he had a sinking spell,
but rallied and was able to 90 about the
house with the assistance of his nurse.
Mr. NELSON'S wealth is estimated at
s25, 900, 600, and may go beyond this fig
ure. The greater part of this was acquired
in his pistol manufacturing business. After
he had perfected the weapon which was the
fore-runner Of the modern revolving cylin-
