Walthers, who was burned to death in

His lantern, with broken globe, was
found near, which leads Coroner G. ..
Bowers to believe that the man had a
stroke of paralysis, and being unable
to summon help, burned to death with

age.
His wife had been sleeping for

one, and one contest tie.
More than $4,000 people-a record
breaking baseball crowd for Boston
saw a pitching duel in which Hugh
Bedient, a youngster, sparkled as a
new star in the base ball armament
Three hits was the Giants portion
from Bedient's effective service. But
for an error by Gardner the young
hurler would have turned back the
New York club to defeat in nine score
less innings Only a shade less bril-
liant than the box work of Bedient
was the skill of the old master, Christ!
Mathewson, who, except for two long
distance drives in the third inning
held the Red Sox helpless by the
magic of his curves.
Bedient pitched the best ball that
has been shown so far in the five
games of the worlds series. He had
not been regarded as a likely choice
for mound duty during the champion
ship games, and it was not until sew
eral innings had passed that the thou
sands of spectators realized that the
Giants were facing quality of pitch
ing that was most battling when hits
meant tallies. The score by innings:
Boston 0 20 0 0 0 0 x-2
New York. @ 0 0 0 o.
The total gate receipts for the five
games amount to $336,4S3, or only
about $4,000 less than for the full six
games last year. The National Com

TIE young man had just bid his
fiancee good night, telling her not to
worry over a conversation of two men
they overheard on the bridge. One OF

money and would get it at any cost.
Following the shooting, two men

Harry Duffield, both of Camden. Duff
field made a partial confession when
arrested at his home. He had pre-.
yiously told fireman, who found him
semi-conscious on the steps of the fire
house, that he saw the shots fired.
Kellman and Miss Bertha Shilling,
of SIS North Thirty-fourth street, Cam
den, attended a block carnival for the
benefit of Camden church, of which
both were members. 1t was after
twelve o'clock when they left the car
nival and started to walk to the young
woman's home AS they crossed the
bridge both noticed two men standing
in a shadow. They heard one say dis
tinctly:
81 need money and I'm going to get
it, and don't care how I get it,
The words and the appearance of
one, a tall man with a swarthy skin
and small eyes, startled the couple
They half ran to the home of Miss
Shilling, but finding that the family
had retired, they abandoned their in.
tentons of informing the father.
Kellman, after a few moments con-
versation with his fiancee, bid her
good night and started back towards
the bridge on his way home. He had
not gone ten yards before Miss Shi1
ling called to him to be careful and
avoid the men whose conversation
they had overheard. Kellman answered
with a laugh, saying there was no
cause for fear
Five minutes later Miss Shilling
heard the report of two shots. She was
startled at first, but when she heard
nothing further she retired.
In the meantime Mexican Pete" or
Frederick Coursey, which is his proper
name, and Duffield, according to DUFF
fields statement made later, saw Kell
man walking towards the bridge. AS
he approached he moved over towards
the left side of the structure. The next
moment he was on the ground, with
two bullet wounds in his body.
When Duffield saw that Kellman
had been shot, he says he ran from
the spot and continued to run until he
fell exhausted upon the steps of fire
house nearly a mile from the scene of
the shooting. Albert Vickars, a fire
man, who found him there, questioned
him closely, and Duffield told him he
saw a man shot on the bridge.
II saw him shot," said Duffield.
The fireman ran toward the bridge.
He did not detain Duffield.

A SHARP DEMAND FOR
FIvE-DOLLAR CIGARS
They Are Sixteen Inches Long
and There is a Big Demand
For Them

The demand for cigars selling at
IS each is 80 great that it cannot be
supplied, according to B. F. Alex
ander, a cigar salesman of Havana,
Cuba, who arrived in st. Louis yes
terday.
I'VE could dispose OF 10 times as
many five-dollar cigars If We were
able to turn them out" declared
Alexander at the Planters Hotel.
The difficulty is in the wrapper,
which must be very large.
You are likely to sort 100 bun
dies of tobacco and find only 100
wrappers suitable for this kind of
cigar"
From a sample case containing
462 different sizes and prices of CT
CARS Alexander took one Of the five
dollar brand, known in the trade as
"promenties," just as the twenty
fve-cent straights are called perfec-
tos.
One feels like taking off his hat
and bowling as the apex of nicotine
luxury comes into view. 1t looks
more like a yellow-colored Roman
candle than cigar. In size it is
between Is and 16 inches long, and
900 will contain 1870 pounds of to-
bacco, as compared with IA pounds
to 900 perfectos.
These are bought mostly by peo-
pie who enjoy the novelty of smok-
| ing such a cigar" said Alexander.
"Banquets and smokers attended by
wealthy men are the best buyers of
the five-dollar kind. The one place
in the world which takes more than
any other is Heidelberg, Germany.
"The students at the university
there never seem to get enough of
| them. | have been told that besides
buying them for smoking in the or
binary way, they sometimes will put
one of these into a water pipe of the
Oriental type, then five or six stu
dents will get around the pipe and
smoke it,"
Size does not always Indicate
value, according to Alexander. One
insignificant little cigar which most
people would take for 'stogie'
really sells at $3.50, while a larger
and prettier one sells for a beggar-
ly so cents each.
These stories about the big f.
nanciers of the East and of Europe
smoking cigars foot long are al
bosh," declared the salesman
while they pay as much as SO and
