MURDERER LOCATED
Srresled By Detective C0lesanto
 on Canal Street

George Buono, the murderer from White Plains, N. Y.. who was arrest ed in this city by Detective Thomas Colesanto yesterday was taken back to White Plains to-day. Buono on April 27 shot and killed Giuseppe Di Puzzo and after he was arrested yes terday he admitted that it was he who killed Di Puzzo. He has been in this city since June working on the streets.
 Colesanto for some time has been on the lookout for Buono who was thought to be hiding in this city. A few days ago he received a photo- graph from the White Plains police and this with some information which the local sleuth received from Detective Fertitta of White Plains and what Tom" himself learned led to the arrest of the accused. Fertitta arrived in this city Tuesday night. Yesterday he and Colesanto went to the mans boarding house OF Canal street and the latter hid himself in the bathroom not far from Buono's room. Colesanto was under the impression that the raiS would bring the man home a little earlier than usual and was right in his supposition. Colesanto had the door partly opened and went out as he saw Buono approaching the top of the stairs. The murderer was prepared to offer resistance but was taken so unaware that he was rem dered powerless before he knew what was really happening. He at tempted to draw knife but his ef- fort was futile and Colesanto put the nippers on him in short order On the way to the station he admitted that he shot Di Puzzo He said he sent three bullets into him.
 Buono is considered a desperate fellow and is said to have killed an other man for which he was never punished. .Only recently he skipped out of New York where he was out under bonds of s1,500 for some crime he had committed. He has been employed on the paving jobs and on the Improvements near Wat erville while he was in this city. Detective Kennaugh accompanied Detective Fertitta as far as the station with the prisoner. They went on the 11:09 train.

LATBROP'S BILLS
VIII Be Pretty Bard Mailer 10
 Locale Anything Valuable.

Attorney c. G. Root laughed, when asked to-day if he had taken any steps to collect from E. U. Lath- rop the amount of the judgment granted against him in the supreme court the other day, about $3,00O.
 While MT Lathrop's affairs were in litigation he sold all his realty, the building on the southwest cor ner of Center and Bank street 10 James W. Hodson. Various figures were given as the price. It was ru- mored then that to save the amount of any judgment that in time may be given against MT Lathrop, for his son, Harry, was ;hen contem- plating suit against him to recover money said to belong to his moth- er's estate, s3,000. that MT Hodson had been garnisheed.
 A man quite close to MT Lathrop's s business and financial standing said. the day after the supreme court s judgment was rendered, that MT Hodson had n1thing in his posses sior Lelonging or due to MT Lath- rop at the time the garnisheed pa pers were served upon him. The judgment of the supreme court seemed to him great joke and it was on that account that Harry Lathrop lawyer, MT Root, was ask ed to-day if he had undertaken to collect thas judgment. MT Root S answer was laugh and T didn't get down to tha. yet" and then anotha- laugh.

All verv "ciyiI."

Tn certain sections of the country there are much favored words which are required to do duty with a wide variety of meanings. Such is the word smart" among Yankees and up along the Labrador shore the word "civil." The following conversation between two natives was overheard by a traveller:
 We are goin' to have lots of dirt to- day." said one. glancing at the sky.
 Nav. It'll be civil." replied his companion.
 How did you get on with the cap. tainr"
 "oh. he got civil to hunting deer by and by. When he went out he didn't know nothing. but he got civilized"
 Did you go down the Ketchee?"
 "Naw. It's too civil for him. He wanted lots of rapids. so we went down the Boomer. Them's about as civil rapids as want to see."-Youth's Companion.

WOMEN ARE FATALISTS.

A medical man gives his experi- ence in Woman's Life on the ques- tion of how men and women face death when sentence is pronounced by the doctor. Tell the man Of higher type and greater intelli- gence." the physician says, that he isfacing. death and he begins to fight, demands consultation, talks abou. going to specialists and fights grim ly to the finish. Tell woman the same facts and she lies back to await her fate. All women are by nature fatalists. On the other, hand, tell a man that he has one chance in T thousand to recover if he will under go an operation and he will trust to his own strength and endurance rather than undergo the knife. The woman will choose the thousandth chance and submit to the operation with an astounding degree of calm ness" tE

AWAIT DISTRIBUTION
AO9 Shares of Stock WilIed By
 Lste A. E. Rice.

The next step in the matter of the Apothecaries Hall company's re- cent litigation will be the dis ri> button of the 409 snares of stock which A. E. Rice willed should be divided among his children or their heirs after the demise of his wife. An order allowing such distribution was granted by the probate court and appealed from by Mrs Samuel P. Williams, one of ,le children of 4. E. Rice. As the order was in dorsed by +ho supreme court a few days ago, it therefore stands in it's original form leaving the distribu- tion to be the next step in the case. When the trustee, F. A. Taylor, will exc lte the order remains to be seen for Mrs Williams and her nephew, A. E. Rice, son of the tate !. E. Rice, who was her brother, may make some move that may de- lay tle distribution.
 If Mrs WiIliams's application to have the 409 shares of stock sold in bulk was allowed I. P. Kellogg would not have the controlling in- terest ir the concern, but with what he dt;.ady has secured, with that which he represented, combined with the one-third portion that will become the property of Mrs Mary R. Munson, his wife's mother and of which he will unquestionably be the proA,, he will be raised be- yond ;he point of conflict in con- trolling the affairs of the company. Mrs Williams and her nephew, MT Rice, offered SOL 900 for the en- tire block of 409 shares, and also offered to buy or sell. Neither offer was accepted, and now, unless the lawyers discover some way to keep the contention still in court, noth- ing remains but to divide the stock as the original owner, A. E. Rice, decreed in his will that it should be divided, &mong his three chil- dren or their heirs, Mrs Munson, Mrs Williams and the children of F. B. Rice.

MOUNT ETNA.
It's Wonders as Revealed In Tales Of
 Travellers.


 Travellers.
 Mount Etna has furnished more ma terial for travellers tales than any other mountain on the earth. Aston ished Englishmen of century ago who fell into the fashionable habit of climbing to its highest peak-and some did so, to the amaZement of the Sicil- ians. even in the dead of winter-have left on record in the exuberant lam guase of their day the emotions that thrilled their soul. ''The man who treads Mount Etna." wrote one of these. ''is a man above the world. Every river on the island can be traced from Its mouth to its source.
 "The characters" the same writer continues, "of all the climates of the earth can be detected-the frigld close around one. the temperate with its belt of trees just underneath and the trop- ical at the base of the mountain. with its vineyards and luxuriant groves. The great ocean around. with the is- lands of Lipari. Panari. Alicudi. Strom- boil and Volcano, with their smoking summits. appears under your feet. and you look down upon the whole of Sicily as upon a map"
 In addition to all the climates. Etna is reported to have trees that rival the giants of California. lakes that never thaw. bottomless caverns and salable snow that kept many an ancient bishop well supplied with tithes.

 Do you really think it likely that my house will burn down within the time that the policy will run?"
 Certainly" replied the agent. Have l not been trying all this time to con vince you that do?"
