WOMAN SHOOTS LAWYER.
Would.Be Slayer Talks Incoherently;
Believed to Be Irrational.

New York-Charles M. Sanford,
a ~well-known lawyer, was shot
twice in the head Tuesday by a
woman thought to be irrational, in his
offices in the Garfield building, &c
Court street, Brooklyn.
The woman was arrested and gave
her name first as Nellie Lyon. Later
she said she was Jennie v. Blunt, go
years old, single, and that she had shot
Sanford to avenge a wrong.
The lawyers injuries are not Sc
rious. The bullets did not penetrate
his skull, but lodged in the flesh in
the back of his head.
Sanford told the police the woman
had tried to induce him to bring an
action against her husband, but he
thought she was crazy and refused to
take her cas- She had annoyed him
about it for some time, and he be
lieves this fancied grievance caused
her to shoot him.

After Desperate Struggle.

Chicago, 1l.-George NJ. Shippy,
chief of the Chicago police de-
partment, Monday shot and killed an
anarchist who invaded his home. The
anarchist stabbed the chief, shot the
officials son, Harry, in the lung, and
severely wounded the family coach
man, James Foley.
Harry is seriously hurt, but Foley
probably will recover The chief was
stabbed in the hand. His wound is
trivial.
The assailant entered %Shippy's home
while the chief and his son were alone
in one of the rooms. The man is said
to have handed Chief Shippy a letter
which the chief opened and began to
read. Immediately the anarchist drew
a revolver and fired at Harry Shippy.
The boy fell to the floor and his father
grappled with the assailant.
Foley, attracted by the shooting,
rushed to his employers aid. AS the
servant entered the room the anarch-
list broke from the chiefs grasp, aimed
deliberately and shot Foley twice.
Chief Shoots Anarchist to Death.
Again the chief closed with the man
and the latter turned on him with a
knife. Shippy attempted to grasp the
weapon and received a deep cut on
the hand. The police official then sue
ceeded in reaching his own revolver
and he poured shot after shot into the
mans body. Every bullet took effect
and the anarchist fell to the floor
dead.
The chief, his son and Foley were
hurried to the Augustana hospital,
where all received treatment. 1t is
believed the chief is not badly hurt
and that Foley will live. Little hope
is entertained for Harry Shippy.
Mayor Busse was notified of the
shooting at the residence of Chief
Shippy and Immediately left his office
and went to the Shippy home, accom-
panied by his body guard, Sergt. Mi

New York-Thomas A. Edison,
the distins Iished inventor, is in
a very grave condition in the Manhat-

While the attending physicians hold
out hope of his recovery, 1t is realized
by his family and friends that his life
hangs in the balance.
Mr.. Edison submitted Monday to an
operation for abscess of the left ear.
Since then an infection of the old mas
told wound set in and this necessitat-
ed a second operation. The physicians
found that the infection had penetrat-
ed the inner wall of the mastoid cells
and they at once decided upon heroic
methods.
Three years ago MI. Edison was OPP
Grated on for mastoditis and since
then he has had more or less trouble
with his ear.
The abscess which formed is re-
garded by physicians as merely q sur
face outcropping of the old evil, and
they were not at all surprised when 1t
was found the old wound had been re-
infected.

the physicians:
The operation was performed Thurs.
day afternoon by DR.. Arthur B. Duel
of 254 Madison avenue, assisted by DR..
j. R. Page. Mr.. Edison was previous
ly informed of the seriousness of the
task that the surgeons were about to
perform and cheerfully assented. He
stated that he had every confidence
that he was in able hands and was
willing to submit to their judgment.
DR.. Gill Wylie, one of the consulting
surgeons, said that the operation had
been a success, and he thought that
with ordinary good fortune the patient
would recover.
Mrs. Edison is at the hospital and
cannot be prevailed upon to seek any
rest while her husbands condition re-
mains serious. while she has been as
sured by the physicians that Mr.. Edi-
son has an even chance of recovery
and that his robust general health
should pull him through, she insists
upon being constantly within call.

the United States and Venezuela, in
the pending controversy concerning
wrongs done to American citizens and
corporations in that country by said
government"
The climax of general debate on the
army appropriation bill in the house
came Wednesday when Mr.. Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, recognized as one of the
foremost p~rot.actionists of the coun-
try, delivered an exhaustive speech
in defense of the republican party and
it's policies, in which he upheld the
principle of the protective tariff sys-
TEN, and said that under it the United
States had become the greatest of
manufacturing nations. He did not be-
lieve there was any necessity for tariff
revision, but thought it was we'll to
recognize the claims of those who
think there should be some altera-
tions. Whatever hat revision was,
provided the republicans were success
full at the next election, he assured his
hearers, it would be in accordance
with the republican theory of protec-
ton to American industries and the
wages of the American workingman.
The republican tariff system was at
tackled by Mr.. Houston of Tennessee,
to which he charged the trusts owed
their being, and he urged its revision.
