SHOT IN THE LEG.
Winooski Man Doesn't Know How He
Got the Wound.

Winooski, Oct. 24-Napoleon Bros.
seau, loom fixer in the American Wool
en- company's mill, was shot in the right
leg Saturday evening about $3.50 o'clock.
How, is the question, and he IA unable
to answer. He says he was going along
Union street to his home when he hap
pened TO feel pain in his leg. He began
to tremble, weakened, fell to the ground
and gave a cry. He picked himself up
and went to Dr. Thabaults Office on the
corner of Main and Union streets. where
the wound was dressed. DIR. Thabault
probed for the bullet, but could not To-
cate it. The bullet struck him in the
shin, grazed the leg about two inches
and entered the flesh.
Mr. Brosseau cannot account for the
shooting, as he says he did not hear any
report Of the shot and was walking
along alone His only explanation Is
that it was stray bullet When asked
il he had bad any quarrel with anyone.
he said he had not lie was on the
streets yesterday afternoon, and while
walking he does not seem TO suffer much
pain; but as soon as he stops, sitting
or standing, he suffers great pain.

GRANITE RATES MAY
BE COMPROMISED
Seward w Jones Met Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty and
Representatives Of Railroads
III Washington Saturday.

A Washington, D. G., dispatch to toe
Boston Globe yesterday, gives the ih-
teresting information that the efforts
Of granite men TO secure better rail-
road rates may result IN a compromise
The dispatch is as follows:
"There is a prospect that tie contro-
yersy over railroad rates on granite and
other stone from New England to the
South will be compromised, as was done
with the New England milk rate. In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty
held a conference to-day with Seward
w. Jones Of Boston, representing the
granite producers, and attorneys and
traffic officials Of the New Haven, L. &
N. and other southern railroads.
"An understanding was reached that
the granite producers and the railroads
should agree upon schedule Of rates,
which should then be filed with the
commission. If the commission 8p-
proves the rates they win 20 into e.
feet otter 30 days. If not tie case viii
have to be tried
ut Is the desire Of the railroads and
the granite men TO avoid trial Of the
case, which has been set for hearing
several times during the last six months
only TO be continued from time to
time"

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Chief of Cuban Army
Was Injured.

Havana, Oct. "a. The attempted as.
sassinaton Saturday night in front of
the presidential palace Of Major-Gen-
eral Pmo Guerra, the commander-in-
chief Of the regular army, mas caused
a profound impression and great ex-
eitement. The general belief is that the
crime was of a political character. The
precise motive, however, is not clear,
General Guerra is now in the military
hospital at Camp Columbia. His thigh
bone is shattered but the condition Of
the patient is favorable. The identity
of his assailant is still doubtful.
Immediately after the shooting, the
sentry at the entrance Of Fuerza cas-
tie, which is within 500 feet of the
palace, stopped man who desired to
enter, demanding to see General Mon
teagudo, chief of the rural guard, of
which Fuerza is the headquarters. This
man was handed over to the police.
He proved to be Manuel Fernando, a
city patrolman, absent from duty with
out leave He carried a revolver, which
had not been discharged He denied all
knowledge OF the shooting.
On being confronted by General Guer
ra and policeman, who had been shot
while going to the generals assistance,
neither was able to identity him. A
pistol, still hot, Of which four chambers
had been discharged, was found in the
roadway in front of Fuerza castle, and
is believed to have been thrown away
by the prisoner. One theory concern
ing the crime is tnat the assailant Of
General Guerra mistook him for General
Riva, chief Of police, against whom the
man now under arsest had a grudge.
