SHOT IN CAB.
THE TERRIBLE REVENGE .OF A
JILTED RIVAL.
Paris, July 10.—A murder of a fiendish
character took Place last night at the
corner of the Rue Fleury and the
Boulevard de la Chapelle.
The tragedy began M the Rue Fau
bourg Montmartre at midnight, when
a compositor named Louis Patin, aged
27, came out of the newspaper office
in which he was employed, and Was
Joined by his sweetheart, who apparently
was being guarded by half a dozen
friends of Patin. The entire party es-
corted Patin and the girl toward his
home.
Suddenly a dozen revolver shots rang
out. The woman screamed, and Patin
fell, groaning, to the ground. At the
same time twelve or fourteen young
men who had been sitting in front of
a cafe, apparently waiting for Patin,
ran away, one of them shouting: "We'
have done for him!" Patin shouted back:
"You seoundrels! I am not dead yet,
and will have my revenge!"
A cab was fetched, and the wounded
nuin was driven off with a friend to-
ward a hospital. After driving some
distance, it Will noticed that a second
rob was following, ami as the corner of
the Boulevard de la Chapelle was
rt ached the second cab overtook and
dashed past the first cab.
A man jumped out and, rushing up to
to the driver of the first cab, pointed
a revolver at him, and ordered him to
stop. The man with the revolver im-
mediately went to the cab door and de-
liberately fired five shots at the wounded
man inside. "I hope this time I have
settled your account!" he shouted, ands
ran away. Patin died in a few minutes.
The murderer is a daufterous "Apache,"
the leader of a gang of ilesperadoes, and
is known under the nickname of "The
Widow." The girl, who had become the
murderedman's sweetheart, had deserted
the murderer a few days previously.

Windsor, July 15. —One of the most

and was tugging frantically at the trig-
ger in an endeavor to add suicide to the
crime of murder when his eighteen -year-
old son, Robert, whose attention had been
attracted, by the shooting, rushed up be-
hind his parent and after it deeperAte
struggle, succeeded in wresting the re-
volver from his grasp. A few moments
later Spindlemann, who had made no at-
tempt to escape, was taken into custody
by Police Officer Maitre and locked up
in it cell at police headquarters,
A. Pitiful Scene.
At the Spindlemann home, which is at
157 Wellington avenue, where the mur-
der took place, a heart-rending scene
was being enacted. On the little grass
plot in front of the house, just where
she had fallen, lay the body of the mur-
dered woman, Death had been
praotically instantaneous. Kneeling
on the blood-stained grass around the
form of their mother'seven children,
the youngest aged five, the oldest
eighteen, pleaded brokenly for her to
speak to them. When the truth was at
last brought home to them their grief
was pitiable.
That the shooting was is
the authorities say there 10 no doubt
Spindlemann had several times previous-
ly threatened his wife and eldest son,
Robert, that he would kill them and then
himself, but Ids threat was not seriously
regarded.
Neglect and Ill -Treatment.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Spindlemann
caused his arrest for his ill-treatment of
her while on a drinking bout. Spindle -
mann was fined, but the fine was paid by
the wife, upon his promise to reform.
Since that time he has been morose and
sullen, and began drinking heavily again.
Yesterday he visited two local stores
and attempted to purchase a revolver,
but his actions were suspicious and the
dealers refused to sell to him. At 5
o'clock he crossed the river to Detroit,
purchased a 38 -calibre, self -cocking re-
volver and after loading it carefully he
returned to Windsor and went direetly
to his home on Wellington street. After
supper he began quarrelling with his wife
in the little garden in front of the
house. Neighbors heard high words, but
paid no particular attention. Two' doors
away the eldest son was standing talk-
ing with some neighbors, when suddenly
a shot rang out from the Spendlemann
yard. With a bound Robert Spindle -
mann scaled the low fence between the
lots. What he saw was his father stand-
ing with a still smoking revolver in Ids
hand, vainly trying to pull the trigger
a second time, while he held the weapon
levelled against his right temple.
Struggle for the Weapon.
Like a flash the plucky boy was up-
on the murderer, struggling and wrest-
ling with Min for possession of the in-
strument of death. The father was
strong, and for a time it looked as if a
double murder was imminent. The boy
finally gained the maStery and before
the neighbors arrived had his father se-
curely pinioned on the ground, and the
revolver in bis own pocket. Then the
police arrived and Spindlemann was
taken to jail. Coroner Labelle, who
was called, at once empanelled a jury
and had the body taken to Cheyne's
morgue, where it post-mortem examin-
ation was made this morning by Dr. J.
A. Ashbaugh.
The prisoner expresses no regret for
the shooting. When taken into cus-
tody last night he laconically remarked:

KING VICTOR'S LIFE
--
SAVED BY ENGLISH ENGINEER'S
KNOWLEDGE OF SPANISH.
He Overheard the Plotters in London
Telling How the King of Italy Was
to be Killed on His Visit to Ancona.
London, July 15.—The Anarchist plot
to assassinate King Victor of Italy, by
placing bombs on the railway line at
Ancona was frustrated in a remarkable
manner. A well-known English mining
engineer, who has had several engage -
ments in Spain, was riding on a motor
omnibus down Tottenham court road.
Two foreigners ascended and indulged
in a heated conversation in the Catalan
dialect of Spanish, a dialect the English
engineer spoke perfectly owing to his
long residence in Catalonia. • He over-
heard the whole details of a plot to blow
up the King of Italy's traM near An-
cona. Realizing the gravity of the situa-
tion he alighted and took a eab to Scot-
land Yard, where he told his story.
At first the officials were inclined to
cough, but his gravity and credentials
at length convinced them that there
might be something in his statement.
Eventually the Italian police were tele-
graphed to, the bombs were discovered,
and the perpetration of a terrible out-
rage prevented.

Kier Hardie Fled for Life—With a Wo-

—Affairs at One Time Looked Dan-
gerous.
London, July 15,—Retribution has be-
fallen the suffragettes, or, as one news-
paper calls thein, the fooligans, in
Manchester, where their own meeting
was more completely wrecked than any
they have tried to break up. A huge,
sa-naturid crowd' lSstened to the
speakers for some time, but when dis-
sentients began to roast the orators
with inconvenient comments their spir-
its beeame infectious. The voices of
the speakers were drowned in derisive
shouts and laughter. Then James Kier
Hardie, a Labor member of Parlia-
ment, appeared, and the animosity he
lately courted by championing the
Zulus against the South African colon-
ists broke loose. The crowd soon be:
come rowdy, and many of the audience
started for the platform.
The meeting was being held in a deep
rollow in a public park, and as the
crowd surged downward the position
became dangerous, threatening a mur-
derous crush at the bottom of the
hollow. Women shrieked and fainted.
Men, on the lower slopes began to fight
those rushing down to prevent it catas-
trophe. General pandemonium follow-
ed. Realizing the danger, Mr. Hardie
and his supporters organized a move-
ment uphill, conducting the women
speakers. It was a stiff fight. They
were often carried off their feet by
the crowd, but they saved 'themselves
from disaster and reached the top of
the hollow,- where they were mobbed.
being obliged to run for safety. Ms
Hardie and Mrs. Parkhurst escaped by
sealing high, spiked railings. They were
vainly pursued by their enemies.
The other women speakers were less
fortunate. They were hustled, hooted
at and eldvied. They eventually took
refuge in a house, which was besieged
by a towling mob, until the pollee res-
. cued them. Mrs. Mitchell, one of the
suffragettes, made a good fight. In a
scrimmage slue floored one man assail-
ant, and smashed her umbrella over ire
head of another.
SUFFRAGETTE HAS TO PAY.
Bids in Her Seized Property for Amount
of Disputed Tax Bill.
London, July 15.—The last scene in
the drama of the siege of Fort Monte-
fiore was enacted on Friday afternoon
at a suburban auction room, where
there was offered for sale Mrs. Monte-
fiore's property, which had been seized
by the bailiffs to meet the tax which
the owner refused to pay because she
did not possess a vote.
Mrs. Montefiore had written to the
newspapers, appealing to all haters of
tyranny to attend the sale, but the re-
sponse MIS chilling. A few co -suffra-
gists, including the Asquith halters,
with the- exception of the one who is
in prison, accompanied the victim with
banners and sympathy, but the public
interest was small.
Mrs. Montefiore's spoons, forks, rings,
bracelets and other of the bailiff's tro-
phies were knocked down to Mrs.
Montefiore's own bid of £19 lis., which .
was the amount of the unpaid taxes, and
the suffragists marched out singing their
triumph song.

-KING'S WINE CELLARS.
Falling of a Cask I,eads to Discovery Of
Long -Sealed Sub -Cellar.
London, July 15. —Through a visit
paid Saturday by the London and
Middlesex Archaeological Society, the
public has learned that the Icing's
wine cellars situated beneath St,
James' Palace, which is of how an-
tiquity compared with the Bucking-
ham Palace cellars, which were exca-
vated when the palace was built by
Henry VIIL, cover an immense area,
practically co -extensive with the State
Departments of the palace. They are
, now completely filled with wines in
the wood and are very rarely shown
to visitors.
The falling of a full cask a while ago
(Tacked the stone floor a.nd led to the
discovery of a long sealed sub -cellar, the
air in which was pure owing to a venti-

TO SAVE CHILDREN.
Bar Thrilling "Death" Performers at
Circuses.
London, July 16. —The acrobatic pro-
fession is threatened with extinction by
the "dangerous performances" hill
which is before the House of Com-
mons. If this measure becomes a law
circus performances will be illegal in
England, as no woman and no girl
under eighteen and no boy under 01X -
teen will be allowed to take part in
any performance incurring danger to
life or lirnb.
The bill, which has been called forth
by the deaths of one or two girls while
engaged in acrobatic feats, is strongly
opposed, by the music hall and &rens
interests, and it is deelared that the
proposed law will put 10,000 persons ont
of employment. The prohibition against
young performers is enough to kill the
profession, as acrobats and circus rid-
eers are neeessarilyLr.,a:ned from an early
age.
INVENTOR SETS TYPE BY WIRE.
Printer Expects to Revolutionize Trans-
mission of Messages.
Milan, July 15. —A young printer
named Cava has invented a. method of
typesetting by telegraph which he
thinks will revolutionize the transmis-
sion of messages. He couples the Hughes
instrument with the monotype compos-
ing machine and instead of the message
being printed on a tape receiving appar-
atus, perforations are made in monotype
paper bands. The experiments are said
to have been completely successful.
The Italian newspapers bitterly eom-
plain that the Italian ,Government will
not allow them to have private wires,
without which it is impossible to make
use of the Cava discovery.
