a Bag.

Moosup, March 5.--After a search
of many hours, the body of a New
York Italian, who is alleged to have
been murdered by Salvatore Vatacel-
10, who is now locked up here, was
found at the bottom of the Moosup
river The body was badly hacked,
and was tied up in a bag with many
weights. 1t had been in the river two
months and was badly deconlposed.
The discovery that a murder had
been committed came about in q pe-
culiar manner. Vatacello was arrest-
ed last night on charge of non-sup-
port, made by his wife. After being
locked up, the woman told the se-
lctmn that she believed her husband
murdered a man known as Peter,
few weeks ago, who came from
Brooklyn, two weeks before that time.
A search was made of the premises
and blood stains We're found on axes
and other implements. Then the
search for the body began, which rs-
suited as told above.

IN DEFENSE or BETS
AntigambIing Bills Denounced by
Former Governor Black.
SAYS THEY ARE A HUMBUG.
County, Fair Associations, Oranges and
Race Track Mon Join In Fighting
Proposed gislation.-Measures De-
Tended by Constitutional Lawyer.

Albany. n. Y, March ). - The elo-
quence of Ex-Governor Frank s. Black
was poured forth In a long address in
an effort TO defeat the antirace track
bills embodying the recommendation OF
Governor Hughes of the abolition of
the present legal discrimination in IA
vor of gambling within race track in
closures. The assembly chamber was
packed to suffocation point at the sec
ond joint hearing on the subject before
the legislative committees
There We're three features of the bat
tle. The first and most striking was
the speech of former Governor Black.
The second incident concerned the gov
ernor himself 1t was report that
gained wide circulation in the lobby
that Governor Hughes life had been
threatened because of his activity in
permitting the antirace track legisla-
tion. The governor declined to either
confirm or deny the report.
The third event of interest was the
failure of the officers of the state
grange to appear to urge the legislation
when the ministers and reform agents
at the hearing called for them.
Individual representatives of twenty
county fair associations and oranges
Joined Ex-Governor Black in attacking
the bills. A special train from New
York brought four carloads of prom
inent race track men.
The submission by the Jockey club
of proposition to substitute the Eng
lish system Of credit betting for the
present system of open betting on race
tracks attracted considerable attention.
The principal address in favor of the
bill was made by Louis Marshall,
member of the constitutional conven-
tion of 1894, which framed the provi-
sion prohibiting gambling. This provi.
sion," he said, was under considera-
ton for five months, and on almost the
last day Of the session it was almost
unanimously adopted. Those who are
In favor Of gambling and who say that
they have the people of the state on
their side can test the question by sub
hitting an amendment to the constitu-
tion to the people to permit gambling.
Until the people speak 1t is your duty
to support the constitution in its purity
and in its dignity
Ex-Governor Black said at the outset:
"As citizen of this state resent the
lmputationl that has tgone out that
through some subterranean route an
infiuenceils being brought to bear that
will lead you TO a dishonest decision.
Are you not here to produce legislation
with your hearts and your consclences
and not with rush of blood to the
face?
This proposition must cover all gam.
bling or it is a humbug. We have plen.
ty of humbugs in this world. We have
plenty of humbugs making living at
it. The only thing you can do to bet.
ting is TO regulate it. The bills are
more drastic and wicked than the evils
they seek to correct"

RATE GOES DOWN
Bank Of England Makes An.
other Drop Bringing ii To
3 IL Per Cent.

London, March 5.--Owing to the
improvement in monetary condi-
tions the directors of the Bank of
England to-day reduced the discount
rate from 4 to az per cent. 1t was
thought in some quarters that no
change would be made owing to the
South American gold requirements,
the less satisfactory position in Ber-
lin and the delay in returning gold
from New York, but with money
more plentiful here the reserve
being over $150,000,o00, which
probably will be increased by ship
ments from Egypt and fresh arrivals
from mine centers,, the bank author
tiles deem it safe to reduce it's rate.
The money market already had dis
counted the change by lowering the
rates of three months bills to 3h
per cent. The announcement had
little effect on the market, where
buying still is most meagre. Con
soils hardened u, but in other direc-
tions the tone became firmer with
barely perceptible change in prices.

another for an equal amount which
Alfred A. Erly says will be filed to-
day in his behalf against the Connec-

They say that the former CORE

there is no ground for the libel suits
There seems to be some doubt rs to
whether Mr. Lilley was exercising his
privilege under the constitution as a
member Of congress when talking
about the alleged activities OF the

We're made on the floor of the house,

1t is not believed that Mr Lilley

ground for libel suit than Lord and
Erly on account of the alleged in
