Buffalo deepatelt: Chief Taylor, of the detective bureau,. last night was notified by the Niagara Vali authorities to be on the lookout for a young Italian who is thought to have- been respousible for the murder a a young French Canadian woman, the wife of an Italian eateon. keeper of Niagara Falls,- Detectives Hearn and Burkhardt soon after arrest- ed a man who to a considerable extent answered the deecription, The man was 'taken to police headquarters, where he was held pending the arrival of an offi- cer from Niagara Falls. Detective Callaimn, of Niagara Falls, who was sent here to see the man, valid thathe was not the person wanted, The detectives de- elare that the man was the only Italian coming into Buffalo from the Falls last night, Marie Tallery, 19 years old, wife of John Tallery, a ealoonkeeper, was mur- dered some time between 6 and 1 o'clock last night in a rear bedroom on the sec- ond floor of her husbandsaloon at East Falls and Twelfth streets. Her as- sailant, a young Italian who is knowa to the police, is at large. The woman was shot through the head with a 32 -calibre• revolver. She died at 7.45 o'clock at the Memorial Hospital. John Tallery, the woman's husband, went to Rochester at 11 o'clock yester- day morning to visit a sister and left Frank Sovereign, a bartender, in charge of the place. About 6 o'clock Sovereign missed Mrs. Tallery, who had been around the saloon all day, and he went to the second floor and found her lying prostrate on a bed in a rear room with blood flowing front her head. Mrs. Tal- lery was sent to Memorial Hospital and Coroner Scott was summoned. She was unconscious. There are five small rooms on the sec- ond floor, all sparsely furnished. The room in which Mrs. Tallery was shot is off the kitchen and its appearance indi- cates that a struggle took place before the shooting. In the kitchen was a now range which had never been lighted, The stovepipes were knocked out of place and the curtains were torn. The small linen curtain in the bedrom was pulled from the window and the bed was dis- turbed. In the room was a small table and on top of it was the curtain spotted with blood. There was a pool of blood under the table and a blood-soaked handkerchief on the floor. The police believe that the woman made an effort to alleviate her own sufferings after the shot was fired. When Patrolman Mac- Columelt arrived the woman was on the bed, but the pollee believe that she had been lying on the table and was lifted to the bed by some person or persons as yet unknown. Immedietely after the shooting Chief Lome ordered the saloon (dosed and rounded up several inmates. There was another leountri in the saloon at the time, and she was spirited away by some of her friends. However, from white Chief Lyons was able to learn after quiezing those taken to the pollee sta- tion, the man who did the shooting ar- rived in iNagare Falls about a week ago from Utica. He is 22 years old, five feet five inches tall, of slight build and. fair eomplexion. He has a small sandy moustache and wears clothes of dark material and a light felt hat. It is said that the man and the woman wore eweethearts hi Utica, but that they quar- reled. The man, it is thought, went to Niagara Falls and endeavored to effect a reconciliation with her, and her refusal caused the murder: Sovereign, the bartender, says the fellow had been paying much attention to Mrs. Tallery duringtheday, but she rejected his advances, When she went upstairs the man followed her, and, it is believed, a scuffle ensued which ended in the shooting. Sovereign says the man leis the place about 6.30, a short time before the woman was discovered, and he declares that he does not know where the alleged. assassin went. The pelice believe he jumped a ear bound for Buffalo. Mrs. "Tallery achieved much notoriety about two months ago as the principal in a white slave case, when she caused tee arrest of her husband, charging him with forcing her to numerous indignities. Tallery's Wet revealed a shocking state of affairs and Judge Henke gave him the court's stiffest penalty -six. months in jail, and a fine of $50. He got out a, few weeks later on an appeal which is now pending. The police then took up the girl's case and she begged to be pre- tected from the denizens of the district in which her husband lived. Transporta- tion was furnished for herself and her little brother, who lived with her, and they were sent, to their home in North- ern Ontario, where she promised to re- main, but she returned about a month ago and took up her abode with Tallery again. Mrs, Tallery was a comely young wo- man of French extraction. She was well known on the east side and since her re- turn to Niagara Falls the police were watehing her closely. tATHEDRAL STONE.

With befitting ceremony and solem- nity the feundatiou stone of what prom- ises to be in architecture and, outlay one of the most magnificent cathedrals in the world was laid at noon. It was a notable occasion, made more so by the presence of the Pres- ident of the Unibed States and the Bishop of London. The attendanee numbered from twenty to thirty thousand people, far over -taxing the capacity of the amphi- theatre. Among the prelates who took part in the exercises were Rt. Rev. A. F.

A SEVENTEENTH CABLE. Austen Chamberlain Now Head of Tariff Reform Party. New York, Sept. 29. -The World has received the following cable despatch from Londen: After many denials on the part of the family that Josepl: Chamberlain was more than temporarily incapacitated, Austen Chamberlain has at last publicly admitted the serious character of his father's malady, al- though endeavoring to put the best possible lave upon the matter. "ely father continues to improve, al- though his progress is not all we could wish for. fie cannot yet walk without assistance." It was reported it year ago that Mr. Chamberlain's condition was such as to preclude his ever returning to active political life, but the prediction was combatted by the family with astound- ing pertinacity, the object clearly be- Vig to secure Austen Chamberlain's poll - Cleat position, so that he might succeed his father as leader of the tariff reform party before the truth became generally appreciated. There now remains no reason for keeping the public hewer in ignorance, of Mr. Chemberlain's deplorable condi- thm, for the yonnger Chamberlain has apparently secured himself in his fath- er's political saddle.

When asked for a remedy, Mr. Hill replied "There -is water enough from St. Louis down to make a channel with all the water in the country. All the move- ment wants is a man with intellect and money to pay the bills. Such a channel would save from three to five cents on every bushel of grain exported.

New York, Sept, 30. -The shipload of unmarried giele who, according to the Canadian Associated Press it few days ago, had set sail for Canada, arrived in port here yesterday by the steamer Baltic, They do not appear to have any or- ganized plans and as nearly at; can be ascertained no organized systematic el - fort was made to bring them out, though considerable literature was recently dis- tributed throughout Europe saying that American and Canadian girls were too aristheratie and don't want to marry anybody who is not a Pittsburg million- aire. Most of the girls seem suddenly to have taken the. notion into then teads to come to America as a result of these reports, although some are girls who have already been working in this country_ and visiting the old country, and, happening to return, laughingly joined the crowd, On account of the rush, only 500 of the girls landed at the immigration bureau yesterday. Others land to -day. The girls are about equally divided be - twee blondes and brunettes. Many are really beauties. They had gay times coming over. II. 13.

With the heavy traffic on the railway there is every probability of their meeting with, an accident froat being run over. In the interests of humanity our officers used every endeavor to dissuade them from the undertaking. As it last resort they were arrested for trespass, found guilty, but liberated by the authorities. They are now proceeding on their mareli. With it sparse population around Lake Superior, cold winter coming on, and the danger resulting from walking on the track, some action should be taken at once. We offered to take them back to Yoi kton, but they persisted in their march Itiong the track." Premier Roblin, Attorney -General Campbell, Ministerial delegates and rail- way officials had a conference to -day, The desire of the delegation was to have the Doukhobors now in jail sent back home to Sasketchewan, .and have the Government of that Provinte look after them.

The Magistrate Sentences Him to Ten Years in Prison After Hearing the Story of Some of His Frauds -He Perpetrated Extensive Frauds. Wninipeg, Sept. 30.T. D. Edwards, fraudulent stock broker, was given ten years by Magistrate Daly at the Police Couri this morning. The charge against the prisoner was of stealing shares to the value of $462.50, to which he plead- ed guilty. The Magistrate had exam- ined the books of the Investors' Protec- tive Association, and it was undoubtedly conceived to defraud. There had. been no allotment of shares, and Edwards was the whole company. The Chief of Police, it was stated, had received a let- ter from he Chief Constable of Toronto, stating that the prisoner had stolen some, hundreds of dollars from a man in that city, but had escaped before he could be apprehended. The defrauded. man had since died, but there were other charges at Toronto. Edwards had been sentenced to a term of imprisonment for extensive and elab- orate(' frauds in .connection with the Ashnola, Coal Company, but had been released. He had induced a number of reputable men to lend their names to this enterprise. A trust company with a capital of $100,000 was another of Edwards' ingenious schemes. The Mag- istrate had also received a letter from a farmer named Norman Morrison, who at different times since the prisoaer's arrival in Winnipeg had been persuaded to part with amounts aggregating over 8400 ee HUNG HOURS BY A FINGER.

London, Sept. 30. -According to The Medical Press and Circular, the "plain fact is that the prettiest girls are no- toriously the stupidest." Therefore, argues the learned editor, the suggestion that there be examinations for girls be- fore they become wives is staggering. "If," he remarks, "none but ugly girls could. get married, whatever result their ability might have on the nature of their infgnts, it woula not be long before the,y were no types of British beauty to lighten the burden of the drab world." 4 • DROPPED SIXTY FEET.
