SKULL FRACTURED
BY TWO THUGS.

William Ewing, a fireman on the
steam schooner National City, was
waylaid and badly beaten last night
shortly after dusk. His skull was frac-
tured and he lies at the Harbor Hos
pital in a precarious condition. His
assailants escaped and are now being
searched for by Detective Conlan. The
injured man says that the men who
assaulted him are union sailors or fire
men.
Ewing left his vessel, which is
moored at Lombard street wharf, and
walked along East street to Lombard.
When near the building occupied by
the American Can Company he was
suddenly struck from behind and
felled to the ground. He struggled to
his feet and was knocked down again
by the two men and roughly kicked
and beaten. Leaving their victim for
dead the thugs disappeared in the di-
rection of the seawau,
The injured man was taken to the
Harbor Hospital, where he was found
to be suffering from a fractured skull
and numerous contusions and lacera-
tions. His face was beaten to a jelly
and the surgeons fear for his life.
Detective ConIan was detailed on the
case. He secured a good description
of Ewings assailants from the wound
ed man. who says that he will be able
to identify them If they are arrested.

PROPOSED NEW BULLET HAS
THE APPROVAL OF CROZIER
Chief of Ordnance Finds Many Things
to Commend in the Light, Sharp
Pointed Missile.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 10
Brigadier General Crozier, chief of
ordnance in the United States army,
says the light. sharp pointed rifle
bullet has shown such satisfactory
qualities that it will probably be ac-
cepted for use in the new army rifle
The principal advantages Of the
light bullet are its fiat trajectory and
great penetrating power. IT has a
muzzIe velocity of 2700 feet per sec
ond, the greatest ever attained in a
service weapon At 500 yards 1t will
penetrate white pine for thirtytwo
inches, as against twenty-six inches
for the old bullet.
Another advantage in the light bull
let is that it lessons the kick of the
rife. 1t weighs $50 grains and is
fired with sos grains of smokeless
powder

Tenant, Given Dam
ages in Sum of $4,000
HOME RESTORED

Landlords who have taken advantage
Of increased property values to jump
rents would best beware. In the first
jury case tried A. Schoenfeld. a dis
possessed tenant of James S. Webster,
received vindication in the Superior
Court yesterday in the way of a $4,000
verdict for DANA ges. Under the statute
Judge Kerrigan will be obliged to
treble the damages and award the
premises to Schoenfeld Schoenfeld
held the premises on a verbal lease.
according to his testimony. That other
suits will follow the many that have
already been filed in the Superior Court
is expected.
Schoenfeld testified that he leased
the premises at 1113 Fillmore street
through real estae firm for $50 a
month. He secured the key and took
possession April 20, leaving a sign
stating that he would occupy the office
with a stock of goods.
Two days later Schoenfeld discovered
that the place was padlocked and had
been taken possession of by a man
named Pitts, who paid $3.50 a month.
1t came out In the testimony that Pitts
had one of his clerks stand on guard
with a gun and that he told Schoenfeld
he knew what would happen If he un-
dertook to go into the store.
For the defense 1t was claimed that
Schoenfeld rented the premises with
the understanding that the owner must
approve and that such approval was
not given.
The jury evidently believed the story
of the man who rented.

SCARCITY Of LABOR
ONLY TROUBLE.
Reports Show That Fall
Trade Has Opened
Actively in Big Centers
YEAR PROMISING

NEW YORK, Aug 10.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say that fall trade has
opened actively, the first rush of the
country buyers noted at all large cen
ters East and West. Other develop
ments have been mainly favorable.
Industry is extremely active, the only
subject of complaint being the scare
ity Of labor. This complaint. however,
is practically country wide. despite
the enormous fpast and present immi-
grafton. Railway earnings continue
very heavy. a gain OF y per cent being
indicated for July over a year ago.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending August
number 1877. against 40 last week
and 166 in the like week of 1905, In
Canada failures for the week num-
ber 19, as against 10 last week. and
80 in this week a year ago.
Wheat dncluding four exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending August 9 are 2,262,960
bushels, against 1.395.02O last week and
S65.002 this week last year. For the
ports were 100000 bushels, against
5,23S,647 in 1905; 7,S46,771 in 1904
41.546,906 in 1903.
r. c. Dun & Company's Weekly Re
view Of Trade tomorrow will say that
in some sections the intense heat IA
cilitated retail trade in summer goods
and improved the attendance at sea-
side resorts, but the most important
development in the business world was
the increased activity of jobbing and
wholesale departments in preparing
for autumn and winter requirements.
Crop reports are all that could be de-
sired harvest and threshing returns
surprising all but the most sanguine
expectations. Railway earnings in
July were 12 per cent larger than last
year and foreign commerce at this
port alone for the last week shows
gains of $1,323,204 in exports and
Sl,09S,S74 in imports over the same
week in 1905.
Failures this week numbered ia in
the United States. against 222 last
year, and 13 in Canada, compared with
19 a year ago.
