VICTIM OF RABIES.
Wealthy Brooklyn Man Given Opiates
 to Relieve Suffering.

New York, May 20.-To ease the last hours of the victim of rabies, William H. Marsh, wealthy inven- tor and manufacturer of Brooklyn, who was told yesterday at the Pas teur institute that he had hydropho- bia, and would live few days only, the physicians about his bedside put him under the influence of opiates early to-day, and he will be kept in that condition until his death. MT Marsh was perfectly conscious and apparently did not suffer except when seized with convulsions. The par oxysms became more frequent last night, each growing more violent than the preceding one. The physi- clans feared that he would begin to rave and determined to relieve any suffering that might ensue. Between the paroxysms MT Marsh bade fare we'll to his family which had gath cred at his home in Brooklyn and ar- ranged his business affairs.

WEALTHY YOUNG WIDOW SHOT
Mining Engineer at Los Angeles De-
clRres She Threw Acid in
His Face.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 29.-Mrs Charlotte
l.. Noyes, a wealthy young widow, was shot
and instantly killed last night at her home
by w. p. McComas. a mining engineer, who
has been friendly with her several months
Mr.. McComas called at the woman's home
yesterday afternoon and about midnight
the two quarreled. McComas alleges that
the woman dashed a cupful of carbollc
acid in his face and the shooting followed
McComas Immediately rushed out OF the
house and into the Hotel Peter, nearby.
where a dancing party was going on. Here
he announced that he had just killed a
woman and give his revolver to one of the
men there McComas' blistered face and
hands and his discolored hair seem to bear
out his statement that the woman dashed
acid over him.
Detectives found in Mrs. Noyes' apart
ments a sheet of paper, presumed TO con-
tain an account of McComas and Mrs
Noyes' operations at the race track. 1t
showed heavy winnings up TO two weeks
ago, but the total losses. all seemingly dur
ing the last few days. amounted to be-
tween t3,OO0 and 5000.

MINERS BOYCOTT SHERIDAN
Retaliate Against City for Refusal 20
supply Water ana strong senti-
ment ~ Aroused.

SHERIDAN. wyo., Feb 9.-(Special.)-
Two thousand miners employed In oper-
ating the several camps Of the Sheridan
Coal company at Dietz, near this city,
have voted a boycott on Sheridan business
houses and the citizens of this city threaten
to retaliate unless an immediate revoca-
tion of the boycott is issued At its last
meeting the Dietz Miners union imposed a
fine of $3.50 for each offense upon any
member caught trading I'm Sheridan
The boycott is a result of the rejection
by the city council OF Sheridan of the ap-
plication of the coal company for water
from the city mains The company now
secures its water from Big Goose creek
and claims the city is polluting this supply
by emptying its sewers therein, contrary
to the express wording OF the statute. This
charge the city is prepared to resist in the
highest courts.
1t is not believd the Sheridan Coal COM
pany, owner of the Dietz mines, is in SYM
pathy with the boycott, as what looked
like an amicable agreement had been about
completed when the action of the Miners
union was taken. The city denied the coal
company water because of a shortage for
it's own use, but had practically agreed
with Manager Grdley of the coal company
to supply water from its new $4,000 ex-
tension to be completed this summer. 1his
agreement, 1t is understood, was satisfac-
tory to Mr. Gridley, but unless the boycott
is declared off It is feared sentiment will
prevent any such agreement being con-
summated.

ARMOR IN THE WRONG PLACE
Lieutenant Commander Frank X. Hill
Holds Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Lieutenant
Commander Frank X. Hill of the navy,
before the senate committee on naval af-
fairs today, said:
"Our ships are good ships, but 1 be-
lieve there are certain specific errors
which should be remedied, and the Ioca-
tion of the waterline armor belt of our
battleships is, according TO my opinion,
one of these defects"
Mr., Hin said that last October the sec
retary of the navy decided to appoint a
board to investigate these matters, but
later decided not TO do so. At that time
he prepared a report and submitted tie
papers to the secretary showing his
criticism and proposed remedy for the
defects. Il am not the originator of this
criticism" said Mr.. Hill This subject
has been discussed for a long time and
criticisms have been made by officers
aboard ship and special boards have been
ordered on board ships by request of the

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 2o.--(special.) }
The Union Pacific Railway company has
considerable hope OF winning its fight for
an extension of time In putting into effect
the new nine-hour law for telegraphors
which is to go into effect March l. The
Union Pacific occupies an unique position,
among the railroads in that It has spent
over S1,0O0,0OO in electric block systems
which are designed for the safety OF tho
travelling public and that is what IS de-
signed by the nine-hour law, The company
maintains that to put on these extra men
would entail a duplicate expense.
The company stlll maintains that utmost
of the forty-seven stations OH which IL is
making a contest there Is not room for ad-
ditional operators, that in these stations in
most cases the station is built TO accom-
modate two people and that they are gen
orally man and WIFE, the man doing the

WAGE CUT CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Italians submit to Reduction and
other LnbOrers Make Threats
of Violence.

KENTwOOD, La, Feb, 29-Kentwood is
today under guard of state troops who
quietly took possesa On last night TO prevent
threatened violence against Italians. Within
the last two days self-styled vigilantes have
warned scores Of Italians to leave town by
the end Of this week II they did not wish
to be blown Up with dynamite. Frightened
Italians yesterday left so rapidly that the
Italian population of 200 were reduced by
about half.
The main complaint against these foreign
ers was that they had accepted without con-
test cut in wages from $1.75 to $1.25 per
day in the lumber mills where most of them
were employed. The Italian trouble here
was similar to that which recently occurred
in other ports of the state, in which natives
undertook violently to drive cheap foreign
labor away from lumber mills. In the other
disturbances at least one foreigner was
killed and several badly wounded.
