Several months ago Wilson was taken i'll
With typhoid fever. He grew'better and

On his return trip and when just opposite
the Convent Of the Holy Angel, Wilson,
who had been hiding behind a trolley pole,

Washington Unien Dtsmisses Them for ne
fusink 70 Pay strike Assessments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-Columbia Typo
graphical Union OF Washington at a meet
ing to-day voted to expel seventy members
who refused longer to pay an assessment
levied for strike benefits on account OF the
strike against employing printers in the
District OF Columbia. which has been on
since last January. The dismissed members
are all employed in the Government Print
ing Office, and il is said that the number
expelled may reach $50 before the matter
ends.
The action taken to-day may lead to no
end OF trouble in the Government Office.
Public Printer Stillings has given il out
fat that no man shall be molested in his
work on account Of the fact that he does
not belong to a union. The President has
recognized the open shop. To-day's
action makes the Government Office in fact
what it has been in name, an open shop.
The feeling shown at the meeting OF
Columbia typographical Union toward the
expelled member was intense, and 1t is
predicted that there will be frequent clashes
between those expelled and the union
printers who voted to expel them.
The bookbinders' union has voted to
ask the President to investigate the Gov

action Of Public Printer Stillings in sus-

SPOILED THEIR HONEYMOON.
Murder witness, out on Bond, Jumps II to
ElOpe with An0the witness.

SoMERvILLE, n. j., Sept. 1e.-Fred Rohn,
a we'll known resident Of East Somerville,
who was held under bonds by the State as
its principal witness in the Dittmar murder
case, which is to be tried during the Septem-
Der term Of the Somerset court, suddenly
disappeared from this place yesterday.
Antoine Oscar, Rohn's bondsman, appeared
before County Prosecutor Roger last night
and declared that he had information which
led him to believe that Rohn had eloped
with Miss Kate Kabil, alsoIan important
witness for the State in the Dittmar case.
County Detective Totten of this place
traced Rohn and Miss kabi to Philadelphia
The pair were en- route for Baltimore when
the Philadelphia authorities, at the request
Of Detective Totten, took Rohn from the
here by Detective Totten tonight and
turned over to his bOndsman, who at once
surrendered him to the authorities.
Ii is the intention of Prosecutor Roger to
keep Rohn in the county Jail until after the
trial. II is said hat Miss Kabil, whose
honeymoon was so rudely interrupted, has
consented to return to the home OF her
parents in East SOmerville.
William j . Dittmar, foreman Of the SOmer-
Vile Iron Works, stopped in front OF Rohn's
home in East SomeTville on Sunday after
noon, June ~, and asked Rohn to show
him the way to David Towards boarding
house. Rohn, who was well acquainted
with Dittmar, walked with him dow the
street and pointed out the house where
Howard boarded. Dittmar called Howard
out and shot him dead in the presence OF
Rohn.
Dittmar and Rohn then started to walk
away togeth her. They were overtaken and
arrested by a policeman. Both men were
placed in the county Jail. Rohn said he
had not the slightest intimation that DittmaI
intended to shoot Howard when he accom-
panied him to the boarding house. He was
held az a witness and subsequently released
under heavy bonds.
Dittmar IL now in the county jail here
awaiting trial for the murder Of Howard
He is a Southern man. He said Howard haC
intermeddled with his domestic affairs anC
caused his wife to leave him. Mrs. Dittmar
who left her husband a few hours before
the murder and went to her relatives II
Baltimore, has returned here and visits he
husband frequently in Jail. Dittmar's de
fence will be emotional insanity.

Thus far the workmen have not met rock;

At the other extremity the digging has
been exceptionally soft. but they have
now reached the section where they will

Next week two shifts of men will be
employed on the east end Of the work, as

ANOTHER MENINGITIS
CASE AT FOX POINT

Another case OF meningitis has been dis
covered ia the Fox Point district. the vic
tim being James Sears, aged S, Of 43 John
street.
Sears is a Portuguese lad the son OF
Joseph Sears. A week ago Sunday he
complained Of headaches, and DR.. John
+. Kerins diagnosed the case as menin-
gltis and advised the removal OF the lit
tie sufferer to the Rhode Island hospital
He begged so piteously TO be taken
home when his mother called that last
Wednesday night ne was taken there,
after stay of only "a hours.
II is the opinion OF the health authori-
ties that the disease has spread consid-
erably more in the Fox Point district than
first expected. though they do not fear
much danger. The disease is contagious
like typhoid fever, but not to the extent
OF smallpox.
