was on his way home last night and
made a desperate attempt 10 stab him
to death.
Swinging their knives the women lab
bed and slashed, fghting side by side and
to some extent in each others way. Judge
Carroll was compelled 10 use all his
strength and agility as he avoided the
knife thrusts and tried 10 land on the
women with his fists at the same time.
He did not escape Unscathed. for the
front Of his coat was slashed into strips
and some OF the thrusts reached his
waistcoat and shirt After nearly a
minute Of spirited fighting he managed
to plant a well-directed blow on the Jaw
OF one woman and she fell TO the side
walk stunned The other woman made
mad rush and Judge Carroll. stepping
aside stuck out his foot and trlpped her
as she passed. She too fell prone and
half helpless.
Both women were Overpowered and to-
day they were arraigned before him in
court and sentenced TO long terms in Jail
They gave the names Of Mary Camin-
ita and Giuseppini Corrosive Neither

but Il was undoubtedly inspired by the
rigor with which the police and judges
of Paterson have been dealing with the
anarchists OF the city OF late.
Mary Caminita is said to be a sister OF
Joseph Caminita, the editor OF La Cues

ager, B. F. Bliven. Of Washington. had
thrown up the sponge, thereby acknowl-
edging defeat. in the sixth round OF thu
bout which was scheduled 10 go fifteen
rounds. II resulted directly from the
terrible pummeling which was given him
by his adversary. and occurred lust
after he had been taken from the ring
10 his dressing-rOom. The collapse ap-
pears TO have been due 10 a series OF
punches administered by Britt. and not
10 a single blow. Only once IN the fight
was the Rochester boy knocked down.
That was in the first round. and though
the blow probably had its effect. he con-
tnued TO fight, and was still cllnging en-
when his manager threw the sponge into
the ring. Five minutes later in his dress
ing-room, as he was talking about the
hight he fell unconscious

Truth In Report that Drugs Were
Responsible for His Death.

New York, June 2-Theodore p. shonts,
the railroad magnate, who hurried abroad
early in April. following the sudden death
OF his son-in-law. the Due de Chaulnes.
arrived here to-day on the Kron Prlnz-
cSsin Cecilie.
Mr. Shonts spoke feelingly of the death
Of his son-in-law. and made known tor
the first time some of the details OF his
death. He said
The duke and my daughter were
kneeling by their bedside in prayer when
the stroke came upon him that carried
him of before medical aid could be sum-
rnoned.
The facts OF his death are these:
''On the afternoon of the day on which
he died the duke and my daughter were
out riding. They dined together and then
retired TO their apartment early. After
their arrival in Paris, my daughter told
me, ii was their custom to retire at 3
o'clock
Had Been I'm Good Spirits.
Throughout the day the young man
had seemed in jubilant spirits. He had
not shown the merest sign OF illness. He
was hearty and jolly, and immensely
happy So It was until they knelt down
by the bed together for their customary
devotions.
They were kneeling close together, and
the duke held one arm about his wife'E
shoulders. Suddenly he lurched forward.
and then tumbled unconscious al my
daughters feet. He was big man and
she slight girl. but she lifted him bodily
10 the bed and screamed for aid. As she
dropped the duke on the bed there was
a gurgle in his throat: then his body
stifened. He was dead before anything
could be done for him.
Heart Disease the Cause.
The death OF the duke was due 10
heart disease. The coating OF his heart
was too thin. and the organ contained too
httle blood. The reports that he was ad-
dicted TO the use Of drugs and that his
indulgence in opiates caused his death.
We're infamous lbels
Upon my arrival In Paris I found my
daughter in an alarming condition. Until
two weeks ago we feared that her rea-
son had gone. and would never return.
Just two weeks ago Sunday the turn for
the better came. I was sitting in the
room with her. when she suddenly rose
up and cast herself into my arms, sob
bling Historically and weeping showers OF
tears. After this violent At OF weeping
had passed of. she began to mend. and
now we have hope OF her ultimate return
