univ one Man MIssIna.

South FTamingham, Mass-Dr
Lewis NJ Palmer Of this town, medi-
cal examiner for the sth Middlese1
district, is fully satisfied that all but
one Of the 81 men who were directly
employed by Andrew Jensen, general
contractor in the ill-fated Amsden
building Monday, when the whole
north section of the structure fell,
have been accounted for. A canvass
was made by an Italian employed by
contractor Jensen, on the order Oh
Medical Examiner Palmer to locate or
account for every man who was EN-
ployed on the job.
The missing mans name 10 Antoine
Guida, and the search for his body
will be continued until 1t Is found OF
until every bit Of debris Is dug over
and thrown out Of the cellar or the
building.
DR.. Palmer said that he had made up
his mind he would no longer counte-
nance the policy of contractor Jensen
and his timekeeper, Andrew Anderson,
in withholding information from the
authorities regarding the number OF
men directly employed by the general
contractor and their names and places
Of residence. The doctor announced
that unless Investigations were at once
instituted for the purpose of locating
the missing men or accounting for
them, arrests would follow.
The warning had the desired effect,
for contractor Jensen at once selected
one of his trusted Italian wOrkmen 70
search for every man whose name was
ON his payroll and a report of the can
vass was made TO DR.. Palmer, that
every workman was accounted for, eX-
cept Antoine Guida.
DR.. Palmer decided to have the
search for the missing man continued
uninterruptedly until the body shall
be found and then the remainder of
The work of removing the debris and

RevoIutIonlsts viii Wait.

ST. Petersburg, Russia. Although 1t is
difficult to obtain true picture OF the
conditions in the interior, owing to the
embargo that has been put upon press
dispatches, all indications point more
and more to the postponement Of the
threatened general strike until the
government shall be less and the
country better prepared for such an
event, until the harvest Is finished and
the revolutionary movement develops
spontaneously among the idle peasant
ry. What news has been received from
the provinces indicates that conditions
are scarcely ripe for an upheaVal ex-
cept in the famine districts.
The most urgent problem before the
government, in case an Immediately
outbreak is postponed is the relief of
the distress in the interior. The cab
met meeting Tuesday evening was de-
voted to consideration of this subject,
and 1t was voted to extend relief works
in the famine districts. A commission
was appointed to decide where the bud
get could best be cut to find the ST.
100000 voted by the parliament for
famine relief.

Schooner piadem Sunk.

ROckland, Me.-A stiff easterly wind
and q strong ebb tide drove the little
RockpOrt schooner Diadem on the
rocks of Ash island, just inside White
head in the Musselridge channel We'd
hesuay eNeInis, t.4.A --nssaI fill
ed within Il few minutes the crew Of
four men had only time to jump into
their boat before she keeled over and
rolled into deep water.
The crew rowed ashore at Seal har-
Dor without being able to save any of
their personal belongings.
The Diadem was bound from Boston
to Rockport with a cargo of cement.
She was commanded by Capt. Maddox
and passed in by Whitehead just after
dark tonight The easterly wind and
ebb tide sent the little vessel to the
western side of the channel and be-
fore Capt Maddox realized it, the Dia
dem was inside the bell buoy off the
eastern end Of Ash island.
The Diadem was built at Essex,
Mass in 1855. She was 63 tons net
burden. 1t is not likely that she will
be raised. She was not insured.

New York-With the Eeturn of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and his first
assistant, Francis p. Garvan, from
their outing in the South, interest in
the Thaw case has been quickened
Mr.. Jerome was at his Office only a
few minutes, after which he left for
his summer home at Lakeville, Conn,
until Monday.
Mr. Jerome hinted that the Thaw
case would go on trial upon its merits
1t was generally understood that he
would acquiesce In any move that
Thaw's attorneys might make to have
a commission appointed to pass upon
the young mans sanity, but the per-
sistence of Thaw, however, in claim
ing that he is perfectly sane has
changed Mr.. Jerome's view
Clifford w. Hartridge, Thaw's coun,
sci, said that the plea of mot guilty"
entered by former Judge Olcott in be-
half of Thaw In pleading to the
indictment, will stand.

RUSSELL sAGe's FORTUNE,
It Goes To His Wife, Not Cent Being
Given To Charity

Gwen o CHaFlty.
New York, N, Y,-The World has the
following:
Every dollar of Russell Sage's great
fortune Is left to Mrs. Sage by Will
made in 1901, except an insignificant
bequest made to Mrs. Fannie Chapin
of Oneida, N. Y, an only sister who
died two years ago.
The will is to be read at the home of
Mrs Sage and vii be offered for probate
Immediately. The will undoubtedly
will be contested by the Troy relatives
Of Mr.. Sage, who will charge that the
1901 will was made after a mental
breakdown on the part Of MIR Sage,
and that Mrs. Sage eXerted undue in
fiuence over him in the distribution
of his wealth.
Not a dollar Of the fortune is left to
charity,
The fortune of Mr.. Sage, which was
popularity believed to be 500 100000,
and even thought to be greater by the
best informed financial men of Wall
street. amounts to only about S6OOOO,-
900.
The 1901 will of Mr.. Sage according
to a lawyer closely identified with Mr..
Sage's interests, was drawn by AL
mon p. Goodwin of the firm of Good
win, Vanderpool & Thompson. Mr..
Goodwin died two years ago.
The will was personally sealed by
| Mr.. Sage and handed to Mr.. Charles
w. Osborne, his confidential secretary
and cashier, and has been In Osbornes
possession ever since. A copy OF the
will was retained by Mr.. Goodwin for
his Office files.
The will made many years ago by
Mr.. Sage which was generally believed
to be still in existence, was fully de-
scribed Tuesday last. That will when
was very brief, covering IA single page
of manuscript, gave to his wife VIVA,
would legally fall to her in the even
he died without making will and the!
had no children.
This would have given Mrs. Sage one
half of the personal property. The oth
er half would have been divided equal
ly among his next of kin. There ar
&c of the next OF kin" Each OF then
under the old will would have re
ceived a little more than S10O0,OOO.
The Troy relatives of Mr.. Sage wer'
at the burial but kept aioof from th,
funeral party.
The lawyer who accompanied tn
Troy relatives Of Mr. Sage announced
that unless these relatives were gen

will would be Immediately inaugural

Minitowoc, Wis.-Five persons were
killed and more than score injured,
four seriously, Sunday afternoon, by a
belt of lightning that struck the
grand stand of the baseball park,
where $50 persons had gathered to see
a game between a home team and 4
nine from Plymouth, Wis. The dead
are young men and boys.
When the storm came up and 1t
began to rain all sought shelter in
the grand stand. The bolt struck the
roof and descended among the crowd
and of the $50 there half were stunned.
Two were found dead in the stand and
and the other three just outside on the
field.
The work of rescue proceeded dur
ing terrific storm. scores OF women

Adder MiIks His Cows.

Pittsfield, Mass.-Peter Touchet, a
Hinsdale farmer, discovered a large
spotted adder milking one Of his cows
in his pasture the other day. The ad-
der had crawled up the leg of the cow
and was getting busy when Touchet
appeared. The snake got away
Touchet has been puzzled by the fact
that several of his COWS have not been
giving their usual amount of milk,
and had noticed that their udders had
been bitten. The farmer has been
watching fer the snake with a shotgun,
having set a pan Of milk in the pasture

Great Darlington, Mass.-Emll
Strube was arrested Wednesday ar-
ternoon, charged with the murder of
his 12-year-old son on Tuesday, July
10.
The arrest was the outcome or a
two days inquest which closed at
o'clock. Judge Walter b. Sanford, be-
fore whom the inquest has been held,
Immediately authorized the Issuing OF
a warrant for the arrest of the father.
The complaint was signed by Chief
of Police Dewitt Smith and served by
Officer Rathbun, who has been con
stantly on the case since the finding
of the body on Sunday, July Is.
Strube was seated in the room de-
voted to police headquarters when the
warrant was read to him. His remark
able nerve which has stood by him
during the trying ordeal held the faith
er calm and collected for the climax
His face was little paler, but aside
from this and his extreme nervous
condition, there was no apparent
change. He made no reply to the Of
ficer and appeared to be prepared for
the step which was taken.
His countenance has the expression
of one who has experienced terri
Bile suffering. 1t is evident that the
two days have been ones of torture
For fully n hours the father has
passed through one of the most try
| ing ordeals ever experienced by a
man who Is fighting to save his life
and the honor Of his wife and four
small children.
Since the inquest was commenced
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
Strube has been under the strict
| surveillance of the police, and has
practically been a prisoner. Since
| he was called from the witness room
at 1922 Tuesday he has not been al
lowed to leave the sight Of the Off
GERS, and his detention Tuesday night
was sufficient evidence that q war.
rant would be issued as soon as the
inquest was closed.
Wednesday was probably one Of
the most important since the mystery
was taken up. Immediately after
court opened at 10 o'clock Strube was
brought from his cell and placed on
| the witness stand. His good nights
rest and hearty meals had wonderful
| ly braced him for the hours of horror
| which were to FOLLOW. For 1nlly Iour
hours he was subjected to one OF the
most rigid examinations imaginable,
and the questions he was compelled
to answer often brought tears to his
eyes and turned his face ashen hue.
In spite of the efforts OF the exam
lining attorney, Charles Gliddings,
Strube maintained remarkable
nerve, and although at times 1t was
thought that he was on the verge OF
a collapse he always rallied, and his
statement were not incriminating to
any extent. His stories did not al
ways agree, but appeared to be con-
fused regarding the exact time or MS
whereabouts on the morning OF the
murder. From the time he left the
home OF Mrs. Joseph Adams until he
entered Edward Bucks saloon at 1O
o'clock he was at sea, and attempted
TO explain satisfactorily to the officers
the unaccounted for hours. His stor-
les did not agree, and 1t was consld-
cred one of the most damaging por-
tions Of his testimony.
