BRYCE GETS

His Dispatch Home Never Got Out. side the Borders of Canada. Talks of Starting a Reform
 Movement.

Washington, April 13.-Ambassa- dor Bryce says he is not refOrmer, but that should he at any time be in clined to embark upon reform movement it would be in the direc- tion of a revision of names for Amer ican. and Canadian cities. He says he especially abhors Implications, as they lead to confusion in the mails and telegraph. While in Canada re- gently he wrote number of dis patches to his government and ad- dressed them London. The dispatch es went to London in Ontario, Cana da. Now he is convinced that there should be but one London in the world. Likewise, he believes there should be but one Washington and he was surprised to learn that there are a dozen states in this country that have cities of that name. The ambassador is of the opinion that there is no occasion for duplication in the United States and Canada, as the Indians have provided an unlim- tied supply of musical names that may be given to cities, rivers or other geographical points. The wisest thing the people of Toronto, Canada, ever did, says Mir Bryce, was to adopt the present name of the city in the place of York" by which the settlement was first called.

 Watertown road this afternoon and after throwing the driver out and freeing themselves from the wagon they galloped up West Main street and were heading for Exchange place when Charles Blackman brought them to standstill in an entirely new plan for stopping runaway horses. Blackman grabbed an ad- vertising card which a- youngsteT was carrying on the end of stick calling attention to the Thaw trial and held it directly in front of the horses. Whether it was desire to read the latest about Thaw or because they got scared at the strange figure it would be difficult to tell, but in any case the animals stood when they came within a few feet of the sign and stared intently at the letter. ing and never turned their eyes from it until somebody pulled them to one side. The whiffle tree and chain banged them badly about the heels. but aside from this they didn't ap- pear to be any the worse for the mad run. The horses formerly belonged to William Mccarthy. the hackman. and it is thought that they were their way to the hackstand when they were brought to stand still,

 ex-commander in chief of the Boer army, which taxed Great Britain's s
 resources to defeat and now first premier of the Transvaal colony un- der British rule, arrived here to-day to attend the conference of colonial premiers.

 Their Wounds.

Matthewson had been i'll and had been cared for at his nephew's home in the Bronx. He is now canvalescing after a severe at tack of pneumonia, and when Mrs Hoffman entered his room to-day and found him lying in bed scantily clad and with the damp air blowing in on him from an open window, she spoke sharply to him. Matthewson replied angrily that he could care for himself. Mrs Hoffman then joined her husband and nephew at breakfast. A few minutes later Mat thewson came down stairs and en- tered the dining room. He had on his overcoat, and as he stepped with in the dining room he drew a re- volver and shot Mrs Hoffman in the back. She ran screaming into the yard and fell senseless. Hoffman had grappled with Matthewson. but a second shot laid him low and the assailant turned to leave the house. Just at that moment Goubelman rushed down stairs and Matthewson sent two bullets into the young mans abdomen. Then he fled. He was arrested soon after he left the house. He was later arraigned and held without ball. When taken to a cell Matthewson burst into tears and said he was sorry for what he had done. "I don't know why did it." he said.
 Matthewson is 5S years old and was employed as 8 ticket agent by the Interborough Rapid Transist Co. Hoffman is AS years old and train- master for the Interborough Go. Mrs Hoffman is 49 years old. and Goubel- man 2f.

FIRE SCARE TO-DAY.
Department Called to Donahue Block
 Close Call for Driver.

-tIOsc Sdil Ior UriNer.
 This afternoon about o'clock the
 fire department was called by box f7
 to the tenement occupied by Mir and
 Mrs John Nally on the third floor
 of the Donahue block, at the corner of East Main and Brown streets. AL
 though the fire was not serious. be- cause of it two horses of the depart
 ment had very narrow escape from
 being badly injured.
 Workmen of the Consolidated road are at present completing the double track on East Main street. near School. consequently there is an ex- cavation there which it is necessary for teamsters to steer clear of. One of the engines of the department was stationed at Spring street. and because of the volume of smoke it was sending out. Driver BIT Reynolds of the Brook lyn hose cart was unable to see ahead of him. Not knowing that the ground was broken at the point mentioned, he drove along and before he or Cap tain Dunn. who was on the seat with the driver, was aware of it the horses and hosecart were in the gully. Nev- ertheless Reynolds was equal to the occasion and prevented the horses falling. Those who had witnessed the incident expected io see much damage done. hut strange to say nei- ther the horses or cart was injured in any way. It was very close call. The fire in the Nally residence was said hy Chief Snsgg to have been caused hy the igniting of some gaso- line with which Mrs NaIly was clean Ing some articles The paper on the wall was quickly ablaze and in en- deavoring to extinguish it. Mr NaIly. who conducts a newsstOre on East Main street had his hands badly burned The chemicals quenched the bIaze and the damage was slight.
