JONN G. CARLISLE IS DEAD
Secretary of Treasury Under Second
Cleveland Administration Was
"a Years Old.

New York City.-John G. Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury during
the second Cleveland administration,
is dead at the Hotel Wolcott. Death
was due to heart failure and oedema
of the lungs. He was IA years old.
Although Mr.. Carlisle had been ill
less than week preceding his death,
the illness really dates back to last
November. He came here from his
home in Washington at that time to
argue before master in chancery
boundary dispute between Virginia
and West Virginia. He became i'll
from indigestion and kidney trouble
and was taken to st. Vincent's hos
pital where he remained until Feb
ruary.
He then went to the home of Mrs.
Allen and about March 1 returned to
the Wolcott expecting to finish up
his business and return to Washing
ton, where he had made his home
since the death of his wife about
three years ago. Business detained
him in New York, however, and July
26 he had another and very serious
attack of acute Indigestion.
The attack of Indigestion was fol-
lowed by successive attacks of heart
failure. There was a very serious

DISCUSS STORING OF COTTON
Operators and Dealers Plan to Save
Money by Holding Back
the Crop.

Boston, Mass.-Having for it's pur-
pose revolutionizing the cotton in
dustry of the United States, a confer
ence was held at the home of John
Hays Hammond at Gloucester, at
which there were present, besides
Mr.. Hammond, Daniel ]. Sully, the
New York cotton operator, and Scott
Dalgleish of Cairo, Egypt, the repre-
sentative of the Hirsh syndicate of
London. Briefly, the idea is to estab.
lish warehouses in all parts of the
cotton producing districts of this
country, as well as in the manufac-
turing centers, for storing the cot
ton crop, so that, instead of selling
it from hand to mouth, as has been
the practice heretofore, it will be
marketed through the entire year
where desirable.

Staying IS MOST COURTLY
Gentle Murder Ends Italian Who Met
and Saluted His .Assailant
In Street.

New York City.-The most court.
ly murder ever done in Brooklyn
occurred at Sackett and De Graw
streets. Francesca Pulitano and An
tonic Levardi, spying each other
across the street, stopped, bowed and
raised their hats to each other with
the courtesy of the true Latin. Then
they approached each other, saluting
again on the way. After brief con-
versation in which no anger was dis
played on either side, Pulitano
stepped back, raised his hat and
bowed to Levardi, and threw open his
coat. He stood in an attitude of de-
fiance, while Levardi drew revolver
and fired one shot. Pulitano died i'm
mediately. Levardi was arrested soon
after.

arrest. If he keeps his promise
Judge Foster will sentence him at

Wider would not say where he had

was so badly broken up over his
predicament that it was almost i'm
possible to get him to make any
statement Just before going to the
Tombs, however, he did say to re-

crippen Arrested on Boats Deck.
Montreal, Quebec.-A real detect
i've story, the plea of which has
never yet been conceived by Poe or
a Doyle, but which has been told in
the newspapers day by day, comes
to its last chapter with the arrest of
Ethel Leneve by the provincial police
and Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard,
on a charge of having killed Mrs.
Crippen, known on the stage as Belle
Elmore, in London. 1t was a simple
performance, this arrest, and carried
out with all the absence of theat-
ricals and display of calmness that
was remarkable under the circum-
stances. In a word it was all that
staid, stolid Scotland Yard could de-
sire. Chief Mccarthy of the Quebec
provincial police, assisted by Chief
Denis of the Dominion police, put
Doctor Crippen under arrest on deck
the Montrose at Father Point after
he had been identified by Inspector
Dew, as he was waiting for a pilot.
Two minutes after, Ethel Leneve,
whom Crippen had long been infat-
uated with, was put under arrest in
her cabin, still wearing the clothes of
boy.
Man Disguised as Clergyman.
Inspector Dew stood face to face
with the man he had let slip by him
| in London and was certain that the
man disguised as Rev. John Robinson
was his quarry. Feeling that he had
now vindicated himself and feeling
the most real happiness in a year, In
| spector Dew continued on his way to
| Quebec with his prisoners. There
they will be arraigned before Judge
Panet Anglers, the purpose being to
deport them to London. 1t is likely
that Inspector Dew will board the
Royal George for the return trip with
his prisoners on Thursday.
At ten minutes past eight, the
Montrose was signted steaming up to
Father Point at half speed, owing to
the heavy fog that lay over the gull
and river where they merge opposite
Father Point. At nine o'clock she had
anchored, showing pilot flag. Their

became Dew perfectly and was an
excellent disguise. Mccarthy and
Denis simply substituted their beaver
hats for seamen's headgear. Pre-
sently the seeming pilots clambored
aboard, with Inspector Dew in his
nautical garb at their head. A hun
dred eyes watched them climb the
swaying ladder on the ships side.
Crippen paused in his walk and kept
his eyes on the pilot boat and
watched Inspector Dew come over
the rail- However, five minutes after,
having seen Captain Kendall, as he
stood on the bridge, smart looking
pilot-1nspector Dew-walked up the
promenade deck behind Crippen and
tapped him on the shoulder. This
was the signal to the Dominion po-
lice that the long hunt was over.

watched the man closely lest he
make some move to spring overheard
or to kill himself in some other way.
He did no such thing.
Il am the man." he said quietly,
heaving a great sigh of relief Dew
snapped a pair of handouts on him
at once. The Scotland Yard man was
taking no chances on the prisoner
getting away a second time. The two
stood face to face for a moment

said Dew. Chief Mccarthy led the
party below decks where Dew read
the warrant for mutilation and muir

accordance with the British criminal
code that anything he said might be
used against him.
