CANADIAN HENLEY
REGATTA BEGINS
(By Union Associated Press.)

st. GATHERINGS, Ont, Aug. 5.-All
previous events will be eclipsed by
this years Canadian Henley regatta
to be held here today and tomorrow
Oarsmen representing the leading
rowing clubs of the Dominion and
several from the United States are
here to compete in a struggle royal
for supremacy. The main event will
be the senior eights, in which the
race is apparently between Ottawa,
Toronto and Detroit. The Michigan
emtropolis won the senior eights last
year and has come back this year with
determination to repeat. The Otta-
wa eight is stronger than eevr and
has many hackers.
In the senior fours Ottawa also
looms large. If they win, they will
probably enter the English Henley
next year. All three Of the Toronto
clubs, the Torontos, the Dons and the
Argonauts, are strongly represented.
The Grand Trunks and the Lachines
of Montreal will also make another
try after the prizes. Brockville and
Hamilton have been coming along
well in the water game and crews
from both cities will be seen in nearly
all of the scheduled events.

TERRIBLE night
IN CITY SWAMPS
Mrs. Christine Fosterman Had Awful
Battle With Mosquitoes-Is in
Serious Condition.
Special to The NetoS.

Special to The Neios.
New Orleans, La, Aug. 5.-That
Mrs. Christine Fosterman survived a
terrible night in the swamps back of
Bucktown is due apparently to luck
alone. From Tuesday evening at 4
O'Clock to Wednesday morning at 7
O'Clock she was at the mercy of the
terrific mosquito pests. Thursday
morning her condition was said to be
still serious. The thousands of mos
quito bites have thrown the poor wo-
man into a terrible fever. Her face
is swollen out of all natural propor-
ton from the sting of the insects.
Mrs. Fosterman is thirty years old,
and has for long time been employed
in milking cows of John Drumming. On
Tuesday she went in search of stray
cattle and was lost in the swamp.
Before the unfortunate woman could
get her bearings darkness enveloped
the marsh, and Mrs Fosterman found
herself at the mercy of the pests. For
fear of embogging herself in quag-
mire she decided to await day break.
The battle with the mosquitoes is an
ordeal which probably none except
the fishermen and hunters of the
swamps can appreciate. When Mrs.
Fosterman returned home Wednesday
morning her face was swollen and
blotched and her hands and feet we're
scratched and terribly distorted as a
result of mosquito bites.
A physician was in attendance
Wednesday. Mrs. Fosterman will,
however, be confined for some time.

express companies doing business In

Rock Pile Sentences.
Frank Hayes and Nick Dawson
were arraigned before Police Magis-
trate C. J. Smith this morning on
charges of disorderly conduct and
as both of them were broke, they
were sent to the county Jail to work
out fines. Hayes will exercise on
the rock pile for 10 days and Dawson
was considered so husky and in need
of hard work that he was ordered to
remain there 40 days. Both men
were arrested yesterday while drunk.
A fellow was arrested last night
for being drunk but the police were
unable to get him to tell his name.
Despite the fact that he was picked
so that he didn't know which side
of the street was the other side. he
knew enough to keep his name out
of the police records and the result
was he had TO be entered under the
much abused name of John Doe. ="
This morning John Doe" was sick,
sober and almost broke. He was
fined 81 and costs.

Wilmington, Del, March 24.-What
started as a trifling alteration on the
Pullman palace car Mercury, bound
for Jersey City from Washington, at
tached to a Baltimore & Ohio railroad
train, resulted yesterday afternoon In
the killing of two men by a passenger
and the Staying of the murderer AFTER
he had barricaded himself at one end
of the car, defied it's other occupants
and fired a hundred or more Volleys
at a throng of policemen and citizens
who endeavored to capture him when
the train reached Wilmington from
Newark, Del, where the battle began.
Several persons were wounded In the
final bombardment.
The Dead.
The dead are:
o. E WELLMAN, 40 years old, Of
Philadelphia, conductor of the train.
SAMUEL WILLIAMS, so years old,
colored, of Jersey City, Pullman por-
ter.
]. H. BETHEA, 40 years old, of Dill
Ion, S. C.
Bethea. who had been dTink king heav-
lily, had had a few words with the por-
ter, when he suddenly drew a revolver
and shot the eolored man through the
heart, killing him instantly. When
Conductor Wellman saw the porter
fall and ran to the scene to remon-
strate with the passenger, who still
held the smoking revolver in his hand,
Bethea fired a second shot into the col
ored mans body Then, without
word, Bethea shot Wellman through
the heart The conductor fell dead
in his tracks.
Police Are Called.
Before the passengers could inter
fere the double murderer barricaded
himself in the Mushroom of the Pull
man car and threatened to kill the first
person who approached Meanwhile
the train reached Wilmington and the
police were called. A squad of patrol
men, reinforced by park guards and a
posse of citizens and trainmen, ran 20
the scene.
The police called upon Bethea to
surrender AS an answer the opened
the door of the Mushroom slightly and
opened fire on the police and the
crowd with an automatic revolver.
Bethea is believed to have had at
least 100 rounds of ammunition, for
he succeeded in holding the posse at
bay and also held up the train and tied
up traffic on the Baltimore & Ohio
road from 5:17 until 6:35. During this
time many shots were fired on both
sides, until finally all the windows of
the car were riddled.

hour the police called on a fire COM
pany nearby. The firemen responded
with their engine Attaching a high
pressure hose to a fire plug and with
the f1remen barricaded behind trucks
and boards, stream of water was
played upon the windows of the wash
room.
The desperate fired a number of
shots at the firemen, but missed. Then,
drenched with water, he staggered to
the platform and the police once more
called upon him to surrender. His re-
ply was several shots in quick order
from his revolver.
Shot In the Face.
Several of the policemen had armed
themselves with shotguns, and just as
Bethea fired the last shot Police Cap
tain Evans fired a load of shot into
his face. Notwithstanding this injury,
the murderer kept blazing away. Pa
trolman Boughman opened fire with a
pistol and struck Bethea in the right
arm. The desperate man tried to fire
again, but Sergeant Kelleher opened
fire and also managed to spring upon
Bethea. When the police took hold of
him he fell dead in the arms of pa
trolman.
John o. Wiley, park guard, and
Mathew Haley, Wilmington citizen,
were wounded by stray bullets fired
by Bethea Several other persons
were grazed.
Bethea was well dressed. While it
was believed by some of the passen-
gers who fled when the train reached
Wilmington that the desperate was
insane, others declared that he ap-
peared to be rational, except that he
had been drinking.
