Dr. Paddock Tells What He Saw Whem He Arrived , TESTIMONY OF OTHERS 4 Observations by Detectives the Story Told by the De fendantBuying a t Pistol , and Cartridges FitufioM, Mys., July 19. Rapid pro pros is heing urn tie in the trial of Rob ert S. Fosburgh. Jr., who is accused of having murdered his sister, May L. Fos burgh, August 20, 1900. and having laid the crime at the door of burglars or tramps - The court room was again crowded this morning, and "every : step in the case was followed with intense interest by the family of the accused man and the spectators. Several witnesses were examined in regard to the weapon used in the killing and th nature of the amnmirtlioa, this line of testimony being intended to prove that the revolver was hied at. close range at the victim. When court reconvened at 0:15 o'clock the medical expert," Dr.' Paddock, was recalled to the stand and examined by Mr. Crosby. Dr. Paddock was summon ed to the Fosburgh, house about 2 o'clock on the morning of the shooting, reach ing there about 2:20. He said that the defendant and his "father were fully dressed, while James was only partly clad. The witness continued: "Jaiivs ''told me that he had boon leeping down stairs, that he- saw no burglars, that they had gone when he got up stairs. It was a very dark night. There was no moon. It was so dark that I did-not recognize Police Captain nr a lantern. Beatrice Fosburch toll nie that she was standing behind her s-isrer when the shtt was fird, and that there was no one else present in the room." Dr. Paddock was turned over to the defense for cross-examination, " which was conducted by Mr. Joyner. His first questions were anatomical and patho logical, referring to the structure of the lungs and heart and their condition in May Fosburgh's body, when Dr. Pad lock performed the autopsy. - The ball that struck the girl passed through the upper part of the heart an 1 through the left -lung, fracturing he sevemn rin. ir. l auaocK, who is a ,, , ... . .

Dr. Paddock's answers were rather to the effect that there was considerable resistance in the sirft part of the - body through which the bullet passed, so that its impetus would have been greatly diminished by tue time it reached and passed throngh the rib. "Did you say that you noticed -a bruise on Mrs. Fosburgh, Sr.?" asked Mr. Joyner. - "Yes; the left side of her neck was discolored and bruised. .

He in the same, testified to selling young Mr. Fosburgh in June. 1000, a 32-cali-bre" revolver and cartridges to fit. Soon after" Chief of Police Nicholson was called and there was a buzz of in t ' . v- n, i terest as he took his seat on the witness stand.

The witness testified that on the piazza post-he saw the im print of the thumb, and fore-fingers of a left hand. .This post" is at the south of the balcony. The imprint was very plain. There was but one imprint of the is morally disqualified for promotion, entire hand, but at several places "there The officer in question, Lieutenant Ar were, imprints of fingers on the post. :min Hartrath, is said to be one of the These impriuts are still there. Detective brightest men in the serric Whitney said he raised the screen in the window as far as possible. This was a distance of eleven, and quarter " inches. Tart of the screen was broken. A break in the screen permitted a certain amount of give in forcing au entrance below it. At the balcony between the two steps oiy the east side there were; 'two inden tations in the ground, foot prints of a man, the toes being pointed toward-.the building.' - ' - . On the evening of August 23, in com pany with other officers, he had some conwrsation with the Cefendant and his. brother "at the liurbank House. The defendant wanted to tell him something on condition that he wiould not let the chief know. He stated, that he did not care to listen to anything that -he was not at liberty to communicate to the chief, and so never learned what it was that Robert had. to tell. The detective then testified that Rob ert on that occasion told in detail the occurrences of the night of the killing of Miss Fosburgh. He was aroused by a loud noise. He heard an outcry coming from that part of the house where his father and mother were sleep ing. Jumping from the bed, he rushed hastily into his sister's room, arriving there just' iif time to catch her as she was falling to the floor. The defendant told the officer that he heard no shot fired and supposed from the noise that the house was on fire. After placing his sister on the 1ioor after she had fallen into his arms, the defendant rushed into Miss Sheldon's room, know ing there was water there. Returning to the room of his sister, he saw a man standing in the doorway of the room which was just across the hallway. No sooner had the defendant seen this man than he crossed the hallway, grappling with the burglar. A tussle ensued, dur ing which the burglar was thrown to the Hoor. It was at this moment that an other burglar put in an appearance, the defendant receiving ,a terrible blow on the back of the neck, compelling him to' loose his hold on the burglar, he had on the floor. The man that the defendant grappled with, according to the story as told to the detective, was-a trifle taller than R. S. Forburgh. The. man who I struck the defendant first was the first to go out of the window, the other man escaping by way of the stairway which led to the first floor. The two men had disappeared from the room when a third burglar put in an appearance. This man rushed by the defendant." the latter catching hold of . his coat tails and en deavoring to stay his progress. This he was unable to do. the burglar making hisVscape through the window at thejber of idle coal miners will not e-iual e.'ist end of the room. As he went. this.

In his complaint to the State Depart ment on the subject the, Italian charge says that, on the contrary, a photograph was taken of the face of each corpse, and to make identification as conmlete as possible, the names of some not being known to a certainty, each body was numbered ,and attached to the-photo; graph was'a description of the man with marks of identification, belongings, etc.. noted.

During the Week EFFECTS OF STRIKES Not So Bad as Might BeSup-posed--Business Generally of a Midsummer Character ter Textiles Are Going Up New York, July 19. Br ad street' s to morrow will say: Heat, drought and strikes have fur nished their quota of disturbing in fluence this week; but despite these a fair volume of business goes forward and . nearly all markets have taken the developments of the week (all of which, by the way, have not been unfavorable) calmly and even cheerfully. While on ly scattered rains are reported in the afflicted sections of the corn belt and much more rain is needed if the damage is to be repaired, the rest of the coun try reports a fair amount of moisture and the South Atlantic, the central and the northwestern states return more favorable advices than a week ago, both, as regards the crop outlook and -the bus iness doing. The great steel strike, closely followed by the tie up of hard coal mines by a few mine firemen has resulted in the greatest suspension of labor reported for some years past, but it is to be borne in hiind that this season is the 'natural one for vacations, and nothing like the maximum number of men re ported on strike is thought to be out. Fair estimates place the number of men actually striking in the steel trade at less than fifty thousand and the num- strike has shown signs of disintegration and is generaly conceded -to have been a failure. General "business, the country over. lands can stand the heat for a while longer. At New York the lry.. goods trade is not active, but deliveries of fall goods are of fair volume. Textile manufacturing is on a better footing than a month ago. Cotton goods 1 are firmer and many mills have booked so large a proportion of their output that they will take additional orders only "at value." Raw cotton has boon quiet, but on the-jvhole rather firmer, owing to the repoits o dry weather damage, particularly in the western dicate n distinct improvement' m the eastern portion of the belt. Failures for tb United States were 20S as fleainst 100 list week, and 202 this week a year ago. , ', . BOX DELIVERY ON STAR ROUTES Washington, July 19. An order was issued this morning by the postmaster general regarding box delivery by star route earners, in ine oraer rostmasier General Smith says that box delivery jby star route carriers will not hereafter be permitted over sucn portions oi star route as may have in opeation the rural free delivery servjee; provided, however, that an additional and supplemental box delivery may be performed by star route carriers when shown to be necessary and practicable and not involving the depart ment in any additional expenditure. In those States in which the atar route box delivery is now in operation the rural free delivery service will not hereafter be established over auy road which must continue to be traversed as a part of a star route, except in special and favorable cases, in which cases the star route box delivery win be aban doned. - Cuba's Foreign Trade Havana, July 19. From January 1, 1899, to June 30. 1901, the total 'im ports into Cuba were valued at $179,- 321,118, and the total exports at $144,-- 840,041, leaving a balance against the island of !?34,9h0,477.

Sentember 23: Asheville, Octo- Iber 7, 19 Missionaries Reach Taiyuen ' Fu in Safety cordiallPreceived Arrived or? Anniversary of Massacre at the Same PlaceChinese Indemnity Question Finally Settled Pekin, July 19. The missionaries who left this city for Taiyuen-Fu some time ago reached that jdace July 9 in safety, having been accompanied by a special escort of Chinese. The date of their arrival was the anniversary of the massacre- of missionaries at Taiyueo-Fu, which made it especially significant. As far as can be judged from outward appearances, there has been a remarkable change in the attitude of the Celestials toward the Christian workers. How long it will last of course none can say, and there are many who are not completely satisfied that all that has been done has been done in pure sincerity. The missionaries were furnished with a safe escort and honorable treatment all along the route, and they were royally received at Taiyuen-Fu. Many prom,i ifent'Chinese officials called on the new comers daily, and the governor, although ill,, Js preparing for a feast in honor of the, missionaries at which the highest Chinese officials will be present. Strict orders have been given that proper treatment shall be accorded the missionaries by the people, and the at titude of the populace thus far has been quiet" and resnectful. This is clearly guided by the governor's feelings toward the foreigners. Last year the masses committed theattrocious massacres on the direct orders of Yu-Hsien, who was then the governor of Shansi. TheHijssionaries have arrived in safe ty at .their journey's end, through the kindness of Tsien-Shun-Shaan, who es corted them from Pekin and who has been highly praised for his efforts in their behalf and his cordial treatment. At a meetine today the ministers for mally fixed the amount of the indemnity at 450,000,000 taels, with interest at four per .cent. per.. .annum. There are no signs, that Great Britain "will -yield on the maritime customs question. Conse quently ,Mr.. Rockhill, the American spe-ciar-commissioner,, has postponed his de parture. All except the British repre sentative , had previously agreed to an increase of ten per cent in the maritime customs. TOstma QnetIon Still ITnsttld Washington, July 19. A telegram was received - at the State Department to day from Mr. Rockhill, special com sioner. of the United States at Pekin, stating that the formal surrender of Pe kin to the Chinese authorities is expect ed, to, take place on the 14th of August. The., foreignr occupation of Pekin began August -14. . 1900, the day on which the city fell to the allies and the imperial court fled to Singau Fn. Mr. Rockhill also announces that the indemnity, fixed at 450,000,000 taels with interest at 4 per cent annually until paid, has been formally accepted by the powers. He confirms the report that China had waiv ed her request for preferential treatment in the payment of indemnity. Mr. Rockhill says in his. dispatch that the diplomatic body at Pekin is en gaged in considering the Russian pro posal for the eventual increase of the maritime customs, and remarks conser vatively that a solution of the problem is now hoped for. This statement is not quite understood here, the word "eventual" causing confusion in the minds of those concerned. It is sup posed, however, i.at Russia has now modified her original proposition to in crease the maritime customs tariff 10 per cent so as to provide that, if a five per cent increase favored by the mari timeBfitions is not sufficient to enable Chma to meet her indemnity obligations to the powers, there shall be an increase in the .tariff to 10 per cent. Russia's object In desiring a heavy increase is well understood." With no prospect of an international guarantee of the Chi nese indemnity bonds, Russia, with the necessity confronting her of disposing of her share of the bonds at a discount, desires to have every assurance that China will not default in payment. Such assurance would enable Russia to dis pose of her bonds at better figures, the danger being lesl than if the purchasers :of the bonds would be obliged to depend on Russia for their redemption if China should default. , NEW MEN GO IN AND OLD WALK OUT Reading, Pa., July 19. The strikers at the Philadelphia and Reading Rail way Company shops here added to their ranks in an unexpected manner today. Last ' night the company brought in 32 strangers to hdp man the boiler-making arvd blacksmi thing departments of the locomotive shops, where. 250 mechanics of , those two classes have been on a ftrike for three weeks. The recruits, mostly foreigners, were given protection at the hands of the company's special po lice. This morning they were put to work in the two departments. A com mittee was sent bj the strikers to the company's office to have the strangers taken nut. This demand was refused, and before 10- o'clock 175 molders, ma chinists and others, many of whom do not belong to the" union, walked out in a tyjdj. The foreigners were hooted, and 1 were. marched out of the shop to their temporary quarters on the third floor of the plant. Here they occupy li room about 200 by 40 feet in size, which has been fitted up for them. In a ease in the building, it is said, were stored 41 Winchester rifles, which had been used by the'eoal and iron po lice during the riots of 1877. These weapons, it is stated, were taken from the cases and stacked in the room oc cupied by the imported workmen. The strike has assumed a more criti cal stage than ever before. The locomo tive shop is now badly crippled. -S Can Be No' Compromise New York, July 19. When asked re garding rumor, to the effect that the strike had been settled by him, J. Pier pont Morgan said today: " "There is tfot a word of truth in it. There has "been on settlement and there can be no compromise on this question. The position of the operating companies is perfectly simple and well understood; and so far jis I am concerned, has my unqualified approval." . S 1 Transport Rawlins Sold Washington.

The -Rawlins was for merly the steamer Yorktown of the Old Dominion Steamship Line and was pur chased by the navy, at the outbreak of the Spanish war for about $450,000 and converted into an auxiliary cruiser under the name of the Resolute. Dun on the State of Trade New York, July 19. Dun's review to morrow will say: Anxiety regarding unfavorable possi bilities .in the future, rather than any actual present misfortune, depressed se curities and caused cancellation of some orders for merchandise by Western deal ers. Retail distribution of - goods will not be curtailed by the labor contro versy . unless it is of long duration, as the men have saved money during the recent period of full employment at high wages. ' Unlooked for Complications Washington, July 19. John W. Yerkes, Commissioner, of Internal Revenue, said this morning that under the Foraker act it is very-probable that newregu lations will have to be framed regard ing tobacco, cigars, snuff, etc., " which are imported from Porta Rico to the United States. 'As matters stand ' now", said Mr. Yerkes, "there is no way prescribed iri which the revenue can be collected. In asmuch as free trade exists between the United States and Porto 'Rico, and the vessels which carry.'tobacco. cigars, etc., from Porto ' Rico to the United States are plying their trade as coastwise ves sels and not as vessels, engaged in for eign trade, it is practically impossible to collect tne revenue tax, as coast wise vessels are not subjected to the inspection of customs 'officers. ; -Headquarters to Be Closed Chicago," July 19. Democratic na tional headquarters in. Chicago will be closed early next month. The records of the office wjll be sent to Washington, where the little work to be done by the national committee, between now and the opening of , the . next presidential campaign, will be -transacted under the supervision of Senator Jones ,the na tional chairman. J.' G. Johnson, nation al executive chairman, and C. A. Walsh, national secretary, will engage in other work not political, and both will" leave Chicago. , JThe Working Democracy, the japer heretofore published by the national committee, will be : discontinued. All work by the national committee in the west will cease till the approach of the next . presidential campaign. This move has been talked about for some time and was definitely decided on only recently. KILLED HER BABY Result of a Woman Tryingloi Shoot Indians Chicago, July 19. A special to the Record-Herald from Phoenix, Ariz., says: "While defending herself against drunken Indians, Mrs"., J. Irving sent a bullet through the brain of her baby which was playing on the floor. "The tragedy happened last night in a settler's cabin on the Maricopa reser vation, but 40 miles south of this city.

Ill I Strike of the Firemen Is Gain ing Strength MORE WORKS CLOSED Energies of Proprietors Taxed to Keep Water Out of the Mines-Fights BetvyeenUn lon and Non-union Men' Scranton, Pa.. July 19. The ' real complications ' in the strike' of vthe sta tionary : firemen asserted themselves to day ever the order of the executive board of the United Mine Workers to those firemen who were enrolled in its membership and who had stopped work to return to their ' places, and in the determination of officers of the fire men's organization ' to keep them away. The morning opened, with, 'a how of new strength on the part of! the strik ers. They had the satisfaction, of add ing several mines in the Lackawanna Valley to the list of idle - ones. Among these were three Lackawanna compa nies in West Scranton, one Ontario and Western working at Priceburg; and one at Archibald, two Delaware and Hud son colleries at Olyphant; and one ' of the Temple Iron ' Company's mines at Peckville. v . Shamokin, Pa., July 19. Four thou sand men and. boys were rendered idle in the local strike this morning by 100 firemen "going on strike. Seven out of sixteen collieries, operated principally by the Pennsylvania Coal Company, were tied ap completely, while the rest are badly crippled. Mr. Schultz, presi dent of the strikers' union, says that by tomorrow, night all the mines be tween here and Mt. Carmel will be idle. They employ 12,000 people. .The indi vidual operators' of Enterprise, Royal" Oak, Greenough- and Natalie collieries granted the" eight-hour work day, but. the men willj,remain on "a strike until all the firemen are accorded like con cessions, "l .

" After an hour's work a few of the engineers resigned, claiming that they could not stand the strain. 7' - Already several minor fights between union and non-union men have occurred in the outlying townships. The big coal companies have scores of deputies at the mines and all are armed. ;. ' Outside of the local field no collieries were tied up in the ninth, district. If the strike is not ended by Monday a number of Schuylkill county firemen will stop work at the Reading and Penn sylvania Coal Companies collieries. CAPSIZED AND LOST Five Lives Lost in a Squall In Long Island Sound New Haven, Conn., July 19. The yacht Venitzia,-owned by Colburn. the millionaire spice manufacturer ef Phila delphia, was capsized in a squall at 3:30 this mornimr. five miles east of Sand's Point, in Long Island Sound. ' -Mr. Colburn and his daughters, Ida and Nettie, together with two men of the crew, five persons in . all, were diowned. (Two persons on board the yacnt were saved Mrs. Walter J; Sten kle of Philadelphia, who was on board as a guest of Mr. Colburn, and James Stanbridge of New York, the third, mem- berf the crew. These two were picked up by the tug Gertrude, Captain Brown, bound for New London, and were landed at this city. . - .. 7 Mr. Colburn was a member? of the Corinthian Yacht Club of -Philadelphia, and the yachts of this club have been on a cruise on the sound. It was about five- miles" easf ef ' Sand s Point that the Venitzia was overtaken bv the squall. According to the sur vivors,' the disaster was as-sudden as it was. complete. The little pleasure craft went down almost before those on board knew thir danger, and, so far as the two rescued could tell, neither Mr. Colburn and his daughters nor the remaining two men of the crew got clear of the wreck. Cantain Brown, of the Jsew London tug Gertrude, had just left Larchmont astern : and was passing well outside Glen Cove on the other - shore, when, In the dim light of dawn, he picked up the " two persons in distress.
