FATAL BASEBALL ROW Pitcher Arrested on Charge
 of Causing Death of New
 Milford's Captain.

As sequel to a row at a baseball game last Sunday Charles Streeter, 25 years old, is locked up in the County jail in Hackensack, N. J., on charge of being responsible for the death of John Siemer of Peetzburg. Siemer was coptain of the New Milford Base ball club, and Streeter was the pitcher.
 At a game on Sunday the men quar- re1ed and at a meeting of the club at Mrs. .Cirni's hotel in Peetzburg on Mon day night the trouble was renewed. Afterward in the street Streeter, it is charged, knocked Siemer down twice. Streeter then followed Siemer, who had started to go away, according to witnesses, and struck him violent blow on the neck. Siemer fell and his head struck the steps of bar ber's shop.
 There is no physician in Peetzburg, and a New Milford physician was call- ed, but when he arrived Siemer was dead. His skull had been fractured.
 Streeter was arrested, and two other members of the baseball club were al- so held as witnesses.
 Coroner Curry will hold an inquest on Friday.
 Siemer leaves a widow and one child.

A good deal of comment was caused in town yesterday over what appeared to be an unusual innovation. Some one began the erection of a fence on the northerlH side of the library grounds, enclosing at least one-third of the driveway to the ancient ceme- teTy which lies back of the library, so that. it will become a portion of the adjoining lot. Doubtless the gentle man thinks this bit of land belongs to him, otherwise he would not order the fence to be put where it is. There must have been, from time immemor- ial, a driveway to the cemetery. and at the head of it the Daughters of the American Revolution have erected a costly and beautiful gateway. Now a portion of this gate is shut off, and one of the stone pillars with the

Stiles JudSCn viewed the fence and the road way which has been encroached upon- It is too early yet to say what the out come will be, but if the fence remains where it now is, the road will have to be made wider, and the gates will need to be moved.
 Owing to the fact that the arrange ments for furnishing a supper to a large number of ladies and gentlemen are not as ample and good at the for the Mems club wishes, it has been decided to hold the reunion and sup per tomorrow evening at Lehmann's s shore house at the foot of Seaview avenue. There may be some disap- pointment on the part of those who yacht, but on the other hand if the night should prove to be stormy the new place would be preferable. The fact that Hon. Stiles Judson will make an after supper address will draw a large attendance.

 It was too bad to announce that Timothy Ryan had been arrested when the mans real name was Brady. Haste often makes waste.
 There is to be a meeting of the School Board this evening, and it is possible bids for the addition to the center school may be accepted. Bids be a little premature, as no plans have been drawn, no lot has been purchased, no estimates have been made, and the town has not appropriated money for the proposed school house.

CANCER OF STOMACH. AILMENT OF SULTAN

By Santius Moschopoulos, Staff Cor
 respondent of the United Press.)
 Constantinople Sept. 1.-From an ab- solutely reliable yet confidential source I learned today that Abdul Hanlid, the deposed Sultan, is suffering from can cer of the stomach. Physicians who have examined him declare his ailment is incurable and that his tenure of life is but a few months. Only recently it was announced that the former Sul- tan was suffering from a species of insanity. This was based on his na- niacal actions which doctors now say are due to the intense pain arising from the cancer.
 Abdul has written to Mehmed V, his successor, asking that doctors from western Europe be hurried to treat him. He is thoroughly disgusted with the Turkish treatment and is also afraid that he is the victim of a plot that has his speedy death as its heighth of aim. The deposed rulers horror of death is declared to be pit fable. He never sleeps more than an hour at a time, a.waking with wild screams. He is constantly demanding protection of his guards. The great house near Salonica in which the for mer Sultan is confined has become known as the House of the Crazy Abdul
