gle.
During the trying times in the city
Murphy armed himself with an auto
matte Colts revolver. He carried the
emergency which might arise. His own
and his familys protection were his one
thought, and he resolved upon a firearm
as the most effective method.
In removing his coat, week ago, the
pistol fell from his pocket and upon
striking the floor of his room went off.
The bullet tore its way through the calf
of his left leg, shattering the bone in
several pieces. He was Immediately
MacMonagle thought for time that
amputation would be necessary
The wound became infected, and it
was by great medical skill that the
poisoning was confined to a local area

was alarming, but yesterday it had
been reduced sufficiently to permit of
the statement that he was out of dam
ger. He will be confined to his bed
for some time. At present no one is

COMPLAIN THAT HYDRAETS
ARE BEING MADE USELESS
Fire ORcfnIs say That Methods Em-
plOyed TO Turn on Water Must
he Stopued.

Fire Commissioner John S. Parry
and Chief John Dougherty have re-
quested Chief of Police Dinan TO arrest
ali persons found drawing water from
the street hvdrants without permission.
This complaint is not made on the
ground of the Use OF water but on ac-
count OF the promiscuous instruments
used in opening the hydrant valves. To
make their complaint more clear, they
state that the shanks of the spindle
which has shoulders are worn off by
the use Of monkey vrenches, plumb
ers' tongs and other instruments which
do not fit. These spindles are found
useless when the departments span
ner is applied. These spanners re-
volve over the spindle shoulders with
out turning the shaft so as to raise the
valve and permit the water to flow into
the hose.
II is pointed out that the injury of
these spindles destroys the entire use
of the hydraat in case of fire The
complaints are being directed against
contractors and others engaged in
building.
Thcre is no objection. these officials
say, TO the using of the water, provided
the IRE department be notified and the
proper appliance used on the hydrant
spindles.

New York, Sept. 25.-Under arrest

entertainments from that institution,

CONCEDE ALL TO REBELS

Havana, Sept. 25.-It was rumor-
ed late last night that the government
and the moderates had decided to
concede practically everything to the
liberals and rebels.
An unsatisfactory conference was
held at the palace between President
Palma, the secretary of the treasury,
Points Sterling, Secretary of State
o'Farrell, Freye Andrede, speaker Of
the lower house, Secretary a. .ARaE
Taft and Mr.. Bacon, Consul General
Steinhart and Captain Mccoy, when
the mediators called the attention Of
the Cuban administration TO the
status Of peace negotiations with the
liberals and insurgents. The confer.
ence adjourned at IL o'clock TO be
resumed today.
The peace terms proposed are
known TO be agreeable to the govern.
ment. The visit TO the palace Of the
American commissioner was therefore
not particularly pleasant.
Victory for the liberals or revolu-
tionary party seems certain at the
conclusion Of long conference be.
tween a committee Of insurgents OF
eight members and the American
peace commissioners. The insur
gents committee announced there was
practically no difference remaining
between them and Secretaries Taft
and Bacon.
Secretary Taft said he could give
no details Of what transpired at the
conference for the reason that II was
now necessary to treat with the gov
eminent leaders and that publication
OF peace terms might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.

JUDGE DENIES
AN INJUNCTION
In Federal Mining CO. TaiIings
Case

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 25.-In the
federal courts yesterday arguments
we're made in the case of Brown, ct.
al, versus Federal Mining company,
wherein the plaintiffs seek an injunc-
ton restraining the defendants from
depositing tailings on land belonging
to plaintiffs and for damages already
alleged to have been sustained.
The case is similar to that of No
Carly versus Bunker Hill & Sullivan
company heard several months ago,
in which an injunction was denied.
Judge Beatty declined to entertain
the motion for injunction as that fea-
ture is now before the circuit court
of appeals and the question of dam
ages was the only one at issue.
The present case several months
ago was referred to Warren Truitt,
master of chancery, to take testi-
mony, and from his findings of fact
the case reaches the federal court on
exceptions taken by both plaintiffs
an defendants. The master in chan

SPOKANE FAIR is OPEN

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 25.--With
an attendance nearly four times as
large as on the corresponding day
last year and the greatest carniva.
parade in the history Of the Spokane
country, the opening of the Inter
state fair yesterday was an event that
stands out memorable. This triumph
was achieved despite a dust storm
that made existence out of doors we'll
nigh intolerable and frigidty Of
temperature that rendered the use Of
overcoats and wraps necessary to
comparative comfort.
The paid attendance for the day
was $3.50 and at night Appropriated
10000. The tickets to exhibitors
and employees and to those who took
part in the carnival parade swelled
the gross attendance for the day, as
nearly as Secretary Crosgrove could
estimate to 1900.
The carnival pageant so far sur
passed the hopes of its promoters
that they we're beside themselves with
delight at its success. At the fruit
fairs, eight or 10 years ago, and in
number of previous fairs, parades
have been given in which fancy floats
were shown, but they were so far
eclipsed by last nights exhibition as
to sink into insignificance.
