Patrolliug the streets were native pelieemen, who frequently passed the house. One night Dr. Beattie, hie wife, children and servants were sualeoe ly awakened to find the house in the pos- session of thirty robbers, Every mem- ber of the hunily was gagged and tied to a bed post. The burglars then strip- ped the house of .everything of value.

J., June 23. -The dis- covery of two tin boxes containing two hundred dynamite blasting caps, in flint sand, shipped to the Federal Mt tcalf Coils. plant at Garfield, N. J„ leads the authorities to believe that an attempt was made to blow up that plant and kill several workmen. The discovery was. made late on Sat- urday, when john Bennett was shovelling sand from a box reeeived two days ago from West Virginia. Fortunately the shawl- only touchedthe package suffi- ciently to warn him of its presence. The tin boxes were wrapped in sheets of a Philadelphia paper dated April 3, 1005. The police say that hail Bennett's shovel hit the boxes with sufficient force to ex. plode the cape the .plant wuold have been wrecked and several persons killed. FATAL FEUD IN AN AUSTRIAN COLONY. Innocent Man Shot During the Rumpus -His Assailant Beaten on the Head With Beer Bottle. Chicago, June 25.-A feud in the Aus- trian colony at Thornton, Ill., resulted yesterday in a fight which ended. in the killing of one man and the injury of many others. ' Peter Hendricks, a laborer, ori the town roadway, was the innocent victim of the racewar. The man who shot him gave the name of John Stienucz, a labor. er in a stone quarry. Edward Goening, night watchman in the quarry works, was probably fatally injured. The fight started in a saloon, headquarters of the Austrians employed in the stone works. There had been strife among these men and an outbreak was expected. Stienuez, it is said. started the imme- diate trouble by trying to break up a celebration which the Austrians were having in the saloon. The men were seated in crowds around the tables, drinking and singing. The entrance of Goenieg was the signal for an uprising. Bottles crfteked over heads and. knives were drawn. The fighters surged into the back yard of the saloon and then spread into the street. Stiemice secured a revolver and led a small band of men down the main street. Crowds of people gathered, and Stien- uez began shooting at them. Hendrick was in the front rank of the spectators and fell dead at the first shot. This so enraged. the crowd. that Mien- uez was surrounded and beaten on the head with beer bottles. When the police rescued him he was unconscious. Numer- ous arrests were made.

Nothing Forgotten. "Those responsible for the manoeuvres seem to have forgotten no single depart- ment which would be liable to be called upon for an effort should the country become involved in a naval war. Vic- tualling yards were tested by sudden orders to provide provisions for the crew of a battleship of seven hundred to eight hundred men for thirty days, and the ordnance departments were similarly required to supply complete ammunition for first-class warships. "In neither case was previous notice given, but all proved equal to the de- mands made upon them, and the instruc- tions received were carried out with commendable smartness and despatch.

Morrison had been out for a stroll and was crossing St. Lawrence street at a point near Pine avenue, whom there is a sharp incline. Being in his 74th year, he was not very active, and therefore failed to get across in time. The fender struck him, throw- ing him beneath the wheels. Mr. Morrison held stock in many large concerns in Montreal, and also in the Toronto Electric Light Company. He was extremely eccentric and his appear- ance at succeeding annual meetings, to- gether with his outspoken criticism as a _ shareholder, had been regarded as an unfailing feature of these occasions. His thrift, even to the extent of personal neglect, was the cause of much notoriety. Mr. Morrison was a native of Alloa, Scotland, and for half it century was an employee in the Montreal Custom House. His fortune was amassed by saving and shrewd investments. Four years ago, at the ago of 69, he married Miss -Ethel Frost. - HANGS SELF IN RAILWAY CAR.

The Ited Fleet will, it is expect - ea, not content itself with defensive op- erations, but will try to sweep the Blue or hostile fleet from the narrow seas. The Herald's correspondent with the fleet of Lord Charles Beresford eables: British naval authorities express them- tselves as thoroughly satisfied with the manner in which the first stage of the naval reanoetivree, wieleh came to an end last Saturday night, was carried out. In conversation with one of the officers who had been most clearly eoncerned in the work, he said: "Whether eonsiaered as a test of the fleet for sudden mobilisation or for the purpose of seeing whether naval eetab- lishments could sufficiently cope with an uneepected eall upon their resourses, or regarded as it trial of arrangements for 'defence at naval ports, the results in every ease have been most gratifying.

New York, June 24. -The Sun has the following special cable from London: Though overcrowding is allowed on the railway trains and on the underground roads of London, no street car, whether horse bus, motor bus or electric, is al- lowed to take more passengers than can be seated, and the police see to it that the law is not violated.

Barr, of Woodstock, chief instructor of cheese factories in Western Ontario, contributes the fol- lowing to the press; A meeting of the cheese instructors in Western Ontario was held at the Queen's Hotel, Tillsonburg, on Friday evening, June 15. The instructors all report the quality of the cheese made up to June 1 as being the finest they have seen any year since the present system of in- struction was introduced. The qualiSy of the milk is also finer than ever before, Probably the out- standing feature of itnprovement re- ported by all the instructors is the large number of new milk cans, pur- chased by the patrons. Another feature is the very large number of wire curd knives that have been purchased by the makers. In some groups half of the factories have purchased wire knives, and in others three-quarters of the factories have them. The most discouraging feature about the work is the indifference on the part of many patrons about keeping their milk in clean places. The greatest fault the instructors report is keeping the milk standing over night in barnyards. We are again compelled to report that a number of cases have been found in each group where the milk indicates adulteration by watering or skimming. On Saturday morning the instructors had the pleasure of visiting the cele- brated dairy farm of George Rice. His dairy cows are a fine sight; some of them were seen milked, and the milk weighed, several of them giving thirty to thirty-four pounds at the morning's milking. The balance of the day was spent at the Courtland theese factory, which is ably managed by Mr. Frank Travis. The instructors took off their coats and went to work, and as the, work was going on details of making the cheese were thoroughly discussed and worked out. DOWN MOUNTAIN.

Astor Library, New York, Alone 25. -The Tribune: The arrest of it man charged with steal- ing books from the Astor library yester- day developed the fact that the Ruesian Os/vertu/lent has for several months had All agent always in the library to watch the movement of persons who read or make notes from the books on the sub- ject of anarchy. 0, IL A. Bierragaard, librarian at the Astor, confirmed this and said that the Russian Goveinment had spies constantly working witlfits agents in the library. Yesterday a young man who said he was Henry Metnek, of the Bowery, took two booke from the library. Detective Fitzgerald arrested Metnek, who was taken to Jefferson Market police court. The books were Perez' "Travels in Si- beria" and the other a German transla- tion of Vernes' "Around the World in 80 days." 11iagistrate Mayo held Metnek in $300 bail for trial in special sessions. The Perez volume is anarchistic in tone, and persons who use it have been looked. on with suspicion by the Russian agent. 1Sfetnek has been watched by the Rus- sian agent because he has often used books on anarchism. The Russian secret service agent is not known to persons other than the library officials. The agent has two or three assistants who follow persons de- signated by the agent, learn their ad- dresses and follow them at night to learn their habits and what places they frequent. The Russian secret service agents, it was said yesterday, have also kept watch on book sellers who handle anarchistic works, and by means of addresses ob- tained by the book sellers watched the purchaser of the books. All libraries in the greater city, including Jewish branches, are under observation, RUNAWAY' TRAM CAR. THREE KILLED AND FORTY IN- JURED AT LONDON.

One of the Middlesex County Coun- cil's splendidly equipped trams got out of control and dashed at fearful speed down an incline. On the way down it crashed into and overtuned a funeral coach and finally dashed into a motor omnibus and another electric tramear at the foot of Highgate Hill. All three vehicles were crowded with Saturday afternoon excursionists. On the, way down the car, which had attained a speed of sixty miles an hour, wrecked a number of small vehicles. The motor bus was smashed to pieces and hurled through a neighboring shop front. There were extraordinary scenes of panic. The dead and injured were lying about like soldiers on a battlefield. Three persons were killed on the spot and some forty injured. Some of the lat- ter are not expected to recover. 7 - FOUND WITH HEADS CRUSHED. Mine Owner and Operator Believed to Have Been Murdered.
