Boston, Dec. 13, 1909. - While working in the subway in Main street, Cambridge, near Portland street, this morning, Thomas Donoghue, fifty-six years of age, of 31 Vineyard street, Cambridge, was struck on the head by a pickaxe. When taken to the Cambridge Relief Hospital Donoghue was able to walk upstairs to the operating room, with assistance. An operation was performed, but it is not yet known whether the injury was of such a nature as to be fatal. Donoghue, who was employed by the city of Cambridge, was at work with several other men among the waterpipes of the new subway when a pickaxe in the hands of a fellow-workman accidentally struck him on the head. When the carriage upset, the horse freed itself from it and bolted. The animal had not gone far before it 66.

New York, Jan. 22, 1910. — Perhaps nothing has done so much to win sympathy for the girls in New York as the way their pickets have been treated by the police, and apparently by the magistrates. A picket in a strike is a man, or, in this case, a girl, who goes to the doors of a factory at opening and closing time, and talks with the scab operators, trying to dissuade them from work. Provided the picket does not lay hands on the worker, nor use abusive language, nor obstruct the sidewalk, it has been decided in this State that he is doing nothing illegal. The girl pickets have been carefully instructed how to act, and apparently they have tried to live up to their instructions under great provocation. These are the rules given to them: Don't walk in groups of more than two or three. 72. Boston, Feb. 1, 1910. Several of the recommendations made by the State forester, Frank W. Rane, for new legislation, were taken up this morning by the Committee on Agriculture. Fire balloons came in for discussion in this connection. They are a source of danger to the forests, as well as to other property, because they set fire where they land. Since their course through the air is beyond the control of anybody, subject wholly to the wind, no Don't stand in front of the shop; walk up and down the block. Don't stop the person you wish to one can tell where they will land, and talk to; walk alongside of him. Don't get excited and shout when you are talking. Don't put your hand on the person you are speaking to. Don't touch his sleeve or button. This may be construed as a "technical assault." Don't call anyone "scab" or use abusive language of any kind. Plead, persuade, appeal, but do not threaten. If a policeman arrest you and you are sure that you have committed no offence, take down his number and give it to your union officers. 70. Philadelphia, Dec. 28. - Bernard H. Bail, second vice-president and general freight traffic manager of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway company became violently demented to-day in his office in the Reading Terminal, the company's big office building, and after a struggle was removed to a hospital for the insane. No infor they may land where fire will do much damage. After this matter came to public notice many persons wrote to the State forester about it, he told the committee, and emphasized the danger that exists. As many as nine fire balloons landed within a hundred yards of a farm in Worcester last Fourth of July. Regulations are suggested. One suggestion is that they shall not be sent up without a permit from the fire warden, and the owner should he held responsible for any fire damages which they may cause. Representative Gardner of the committee asked if the general public would suffer if fire balloons were prohibited. Forster leaped into a buggy, whipped he was not considering the theft of his horse into a gallop and disappeared. chickens, but cruelty to horses. He returned with his brother-in-law, both armed. With his hands held high above his head, they marched the auditor into the house, and the treasurer's wife was then directed to count the district funds, under the eyes of the visitor and his guards. "I was not satisfied with his credentials and thought he might be a robber," said Forster, explaining the episode. 74. Chicago. -State Representative P. J. Sullivan, 867 North Franklin street, received a “black hand" letter yesterday, demanding that he place $5,000 on the Chicago avenue bridge at North Halsted street and West Chicago avenue to-morrow night at 11 o'clock. The letter, printed in lead pencil, was not the work of an Italian, Mr. Sullivan says. He considers it a joke and has not reported it to the police. The letter reads as follows: "Friend Sullivan: Bring $5,000 to Chicago avenue bridge and Halsted Wednesday, Feb. 16, 1910. Don't fail or we will kill you, like others. Time, 11 o'clock p. m. "BLACK HAND." "I'll be too busy to leave the money there Wednesday night," said Mr. Sullivan, who left Chicago for Springfield last night. "But I may go around Thursday if I feel well." 75. Boston. - James Fuhrman was fined $15 in the Cambridge District Court to-day on complaint of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He was charged with not properly taking care of two horses in his stable at 41 Federal street, and when one of the witnesses stated that there were no windows in the barn Fuhrman jumped up and said that he had had to board up his windows to prevent one of the witnesses who had testified against him from stealing his chickens. He then pointed to a man who was sitting in the room. The latter said that he would prosecute Fuhrman for thus slandering him. Judge Walcott stopped the quarrel and said that Witnesses for the society said that Fuhrman's barn was not heated and that sometimes there was snow in the stalls two or three inches deep. They also claimed that he did not give the animals enough to eat. Fuhrman appealed. - 76. Chicago. When M. McNamara strolled nonchalantly through what he thought was a door in Albert Pick & Co.'s establishment at 201 Randolph street to-day he was surprised to see the occupants of the store rush to the street and call for the police. He was more surprised to find himself sprawling on the sidewalk and to see Policeman Nicholas Quirk rushing to his rescue. McNamara rose, brushed the dirt off his clothes and asked whether it was an explosion or merely a noon diversion by the employees of Pick & Co. "I simply walked through a door," he said, mystified. What's the answer?" 66 "It was n't a door," explained the policeman. "It was a plate glass window. You made a mistake." "I surely did," said McNamara, starting homeward. He is a saloonkeeper at 210 East Thirty-seventh he thought he knew plate glass when street, and until his experience to-day the police stated that there was a panic he saw it. The first report received by in the Pick establishment. There was, for a short time. 77. Cedar Grove, N.

Chicago. George Bender, a wealthy South Chicago department store owner, was held to have been responsible for two years' insanity in the life of Mrs. Mary L. Thurston when a jury in Judge Ball's rooms in the Supe rior Court yesterday awarded Mrs Thurston $10,000 damages against him. Mrs. Thurston brought suit on the ground that threats made by Bender in 1905 caused her to become a victim of aphasia. Then, she charges, he conspired with Attorney Frederick Brown and her husband, Joel P. Thurston, to force her to sue for divorce. She obtained a divorce in March, 1905. At the trial before Judge Ball she declared she had no recollection of having testified at the hearing at which she obtained the decree. The threat she accused Bender of having made was that unless she consented to obtain a divorce a negro would be hired to defame her. Gov 79. Boston, Feb. 24, 1910. ernor Draper has approved the majority report of the court of inquiry appointed last June to consider the action of Colonel Lombard of the Coast Artillery Corps, in copyrighting pamphlets of instruction for which the State had made an appropriation. The court was headed by General William A. Pew, Jr., and, in the majority report, it finds that Colonel Lombard had no right to copyright the pamphlets. The court, however, recommends that no further action be taken and that there be no courtmartial. The pamphlets were planned by Colonel Nutter, commander of the corps, and Colonel Lombard was designated president of the board appointed to prepare them. Three pamphlets were published by the corps, when it was found that the work was too expensive for it alone and an appropriation of $2500 was secured from the State. The fourth and fifth pamphlets Colonel Lombard copyrighted in his own name. The plates to illustrate the work were prepared by a company of which Colonel Lombard is manager, but the court finds no impropriety in this directio 80.

Oshkosh, Wis., Jan. 31. — A week ago the city authorities secretly purchased an acre of land in the town of Algoma and built a pest-house, a substantial, comfortable dwelling. The residents of the town discovered its use. A committee consisting of all the officers came to the city demanding its removal and threatening its destruction. They were refused. To-day a temporary injunction was served upon the city forbidding the taking to the pesthouse of any person suffering from contagious diseases. It will be argued Feb. 4. The city authorities are hopeful of dissolving the injunction, but the city will have to get another site, as in all probability the present building will be burned or torn down by the enraged farmers. The building is located on a prominent corner. Oshkosh has not had a case of smallpox yet. 82. Biltmore, N. C. Even a millionaire has his trials. George Vanderbilt, who has been paying out $11,000 a month down at Biltmore, N. C., where his magnificent house is going up, awoke one morning to find himself in very much the same position as was Ahab of old, when he set his heart on his neighbor's vineyard, says an exchange. George Vanderbilt had set his heart on his neighbor's six acres of land. They were not fruitful and particularly fair, but they lay between ground that he had already purchased, and these six acres he determined to add to his large property. But, you know the old adage, "Man proposes," etc., and George Vanderbilt felt the truth of it to his sorrow. The worthy owner of the six acres was approached. It was poor land, yielding little or nothing which he could not have sold for $50 under ordinary circumstances. But when George Vanderbilt desired it its value immediately rose. Ten thousand dollars was the modest sum which was put upon it. Mr. Vanderbilt said he would pay $6,000-a pretty penny an heroic rescue yesterday. They were in Mr. Barber's launch, My Pal, accompanied by J. C. Thompson, a city hall friend of the yacht's owner. All were looking toward shore and saw a fisherman on the pier at slip E suddenly fall on the planks, writhing in a fit. His struggles the next moment had thrown him in the lake. With full speed ahead the launch was turned toward where the man had gone down. for that land; but the offer was refused. | Barber, a city employee, whose home He was then offered $7,000, but this is at 2957 Wabash avenue, performed was also spurned. The next offer was still more munificent. The owner possessed a team of oxen with which he worked his farm, and Vanderbilt now raised his offer to $7,500, and, as an additional inducement, offered to employ the man and his team for $3 a day until his house should have been completed and after that to buy the team for $300. He also agreed to give regular employment to the man's daughter. But, no; it was all in vain. Ten thousand dollars or nothing. This obstinacy aroused the just ire of the millionaire and he proceeded to execute swift and righteous vengeance upon the obdurate farmer. A wall seventy feet high is now building about the six acres. When completed it will be painted black, so as to be as unobtrusive as possible. Mr. Vanderbilt will also proceed to draw 'the water of a well which supplies the farm, so that the six acres will be practically worthless. Now the man is offering to sell at any of the prices named, or less, but Vanderbilt declares that he would not take it for $100. 83. Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 1. - In a stock sale at the Guy Stockton farm a Jersey cow, an apparently docile animal, caused a panic. The auctioneer had just sold the cow to the high bidder for $73, when the animal made a lunge into the crowd gathered in the barnyard. Dr. T. S. Motter, who was standing in front of the cow, was knocked down and his leg cut, and Georgia, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. Stockton, received a fractured arm. Frank Baer, who had been holding the cow, was thrown from his feet and bruised, and Smith McClure, Eli Brodsky, Jack Brady and several others who were in the animal's path, were knocked down and trampled Mr. Barber was first to leap. Diving, he brought the fisherman to the surface, but battling so insanely that both faced death. Snapping, biting, striking and kicking, the maniac was pulling his rescuer down, when Dr. Goldenburg, who had closely followed Mr. Barber into the water, swam up from behind. Both tried then to hold the drowning man, but he tore from them and sank. Within a few feet of the yacht at that time Dr. Goldenburg swam back and procured from Mr. Thompson the monkey wrench. Meanwhile the crazed man had risen again to the surface and again was struggling with Barber, sinking his teeth in his hand as Dr. Goldenburg reached them. "Knock him out," gasped Mr. Barber, and Dr. Goldenburg, himself bitten and bruised, dealt the blow that rendered the maniac unconscious. Then the two with a few strokes dragged their burden to the yacht. They were pulled over the thwarts by Mr. Thompson and all speed was made for shore, Mr. Barber suffering agonies from his hand in the vice-like jaws. On shore a police ambulance from the emergency hospital was in waiting, having been summoned by phone by those who witnessed the struggle. One of the ambulance physicians dressed Mr. Barber's wounds after he had been released, and Dr. Goldenburg's injuries, and the man who had been rescued was hurried away. At the hospital he continued unconscious and efforts to ascertain his identity were unsuccessful. His attire betokened him a fisherman. Physicians diagnosed the case as epilepsy, declaring the feat of the two rescuers remarkable in view of the violence of the outburst at |
