ASKED FOR WATER, KILLED.
 -- ~ Fatal Fight Follows Request Which Was Misunderstood.

Jersey City, July 31.-A request for drink of water which was de
 nied started fight Wednesday af- ternoon between Edward Broderick of 321 Sip avenue and Bonaslos Cgnick, IS years old, of 35 Covert street, Jersey City, and resulted in the death of the former and the ar. rest, of the latter on a charge of murder.
 Broderick, who was 40 years old. was employed until few weeks ago as a: gravedigger in the Holy Name Roman Ga. holic cemetery. He met Cgnick at the doorway of the latter's home and asked him for q drink. Cgnick,' being a Pole with practically no knowledge of English evidently misunderstood Frederick S request, for he shook his head and shut the door. This angered Brod- erick, who kicked at the door un- til the lock gave way.
 He went to the basement and there met Cgnick. A tussle follow ed, and Cgnick, drawing a revolver. fired twice at his antagonist. One bullet entered the head behind the right ear, the other made wound across the abdomen, but, did not lodge in the body.
 When Policeman Hill arrived Broderick body, from which the, shoes had been removed, was lying in the yard. Cgnick was still ir the house and he was placed under arrest.

WALKERS WAR RECORD.
Listed as ''Instfuctor" in Navy hut Name Does Not Appear in Record.

.
 New Britain, July 31.-Tha civil l war record of William F. Walker, treasurer of the New Britain Say ings bank, who is now doing time in Wethersfield, was looked up in view of certain arguments which were be- ing put forward in the press of a neighboring city in mitigation of he indeterminate sentence under which he serves. on account of the claim that he served in the civil war.
 Town Clerk Penfield has official records to show that Walker en- listed as an 'instructor'' in the United States navy on July 19, 1884. 10 months before the war was over, and was mus cred out on Jan- uary 29, 1866. Mr Penfield stated that local Grand Army men have for years been puzzled to know what the term instructor" really meant, many of them interpreting it as some form of clerical work. The record of Connecticut men in the War of the Rebellion" published by the adjutant generals office at Hartford in 1889, an official pub. lication, does not contain Walkers name at all. A. w. F. Walker of Plainfleld is mentioned but investi- gation by Mir Penfield showed that it is an entirely different man. Walkers father, Rev William C.I Walker; was a chaplain in the Eighteenth Connecticut volunteers. The official record opposite the date of Walkers discharge from service IS physical disability"
 Walkers name is said to have been quietly dropped from the rolls of Stanley Post.

BRYAN ON NEW
 PARTY'S VIEWS 
Says the Independents Have
 Copied His Platform.
WILL NOT ANSWER CHARGE

Democratic Candidate Declares Aceu-
 sation of Conspiracy to Steal Me-
 braska Votes Is Made For the Sake of Attracting Attention - Minnesota
 Agriculturists Offer to Send an Edu.
 cated Mule to Lincoln to Serve as
 Mascot For Nominee He Accepts
 the Gift.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 31.-Although the heat was most oppressive at Fairview, MT. Bryan was hard at work in his office. After reading the platform adopted by the Independence party in Chicago he gave out a statement, in which he said:
 Tt contains a number of blanks which are identical with or substan-- tally similar to the blanks of the Dem- ocratic platform.
 For instance, it demands the eIec- t1on of senators by direct vote of the people. as the Democratic platform does: its tariff plank is quite like our tariff plank; its plank on the trusts, while opposing private monopoly, is not as specific as ours; it's railroad plank does not conform much to ours; its plank on Asiatic immigration is quite similar, and it's labor plank, like ours, contains declaration in favor of trial by jury and in regard to the exemption of labor organizations from the operation of antitrust laws.
 Question Before Independents.
 "The question that must confront l each member of the Independence par ty is this: Will he assist in the defeat | of the Democratic party, which stands | for so much that he favors, merely | because he cannot get all that he | would like? Either the Democratic l party or the Republican party will | win, and the voter who, preferring the Democratic platform to the Republican joins with the Independence party merely assists the Republican party and thus defeats several of the 'eforms in which he is interested.
 "The question is not whether one an get all the reform he wants. but whether he can get the most reform. The Democratic party offers him the test opportunity to secure that which s obtainable at this time"
 No attempt will be made by Mfr. Bryan to reply to the open lsster of Victor Rosewater of Omaha charging
 conspiracy between Mir. Bryan and lis brother-in-law, State Chairman AL en, to purloin votes in Nebraska. He imply addresses that to me to attract ttention." said Mir. Bryan. He is ardly the man to go to the populace S guardian" --e The actual preparation of his speech f acceptance was begun by Mir. Bry- IT., Among the 'ffotaiie visitors who Till be present on the day of notifica- lon will be the Democratic vice presi- ential nominee. At the conclusion of le exercises Mir. Bryan will receive le notification committee and several istinguished guests at Fairview, here supper; will be served on the lwn.
 Bryan Accepts a Mule.
 Unlike his opponent, who refused to ccept an elephant as mascot. Mir. ryan, in response to a letter from le agricultural society of Minnesota, 'legraphed that he would be delighted } avail himself of an offer to send i'm an ''educated mule as a mascot" He is said to understand the habits the elephant" declared Mir. Bryan. ith a twinkle of the eye. and for lat reason, among others. I shall ac- 'pt him."

FANS AND UMBRELLAS.

Few Fans Now Sold in the Streets
This the Day of the Umbrella.
"A thing that strikes me as curious"
said a man of observing habit, lis the
smaller number of men you see nova
days in the streets in hot weather sell
ing fans as compared with the number
you were sure to see years ago. Look
back, as can, thirty years and MORE
and then in hot spells you would find
In the streets many men selling fans,
Japanese and palm leaf, holding arm
fuls of them, and selling them, too, to
the passerby;; you saw plenty Of men
walking along the streets tanning
themselves with fans bought Of street
vendors. #
This year, in all my walks in that
two weeks spell Of really sweltering
weather, saw but one lone fan ven
der and I saw no man walking along
tanning himself Why is this?
In those old days ther were no
umbrella vendors in the streets; now
in rainy weather you find many, and
people caught in the rain buy them
too. And this seems natural enough;
but why we have stopped buying fans
in the street 4 don't know. Perhaps
it is because we are too busy"
