New York, Aug. 4,—Th'e announce— ment was made today that Mrs. Nack and Martin Thorn, jointly indicted for the murder of William Guldensuppe, would be tried in Queens county and not in this county, although the indict- ments upon which they are held were found in this county. The announce- ment is official and is the result of a discovery by the district attorney’s of- fice that if the pair were convicted of manslaughter or murder in the second degree by a jury in this county the ver- dict would be set aside. “If Thorn and Mrs. Nack were tried in this county for murder,” said a prominent member of the district attor- ney’s staff, “and the evidence convinced the jury that the pair were guilty of no crime of a higher degree than man— slaughter, then by that very finding this county would lose its jurisdiction. “The indictment alleges that the crime was partly committed in this county and partly in the county of Queens. The parts of the crime alleged . to have been'committed in this county were the plotting of the act and the en— ticing of the bath rubber to Woodside. Therefore if the jury should find that the homicide was the result of sudden passion, impulse or the like, and that there was no deliberation in it, the proof of the parts of the crime alleged to have been ‘done in this county would fall through. and with it would go by the board the jurisdiction of this coun- ty.n This point of law was the final cause of the decision of the district attorney to transfer the case to Queens county next month, and the delay in making the official announcement was due simply to the fact that the grand jury does not meet in Long Island City until September. Notwithstanding this decision, Assist— tant District Attorney David Mitchell was today just as firmly convinced as he ever was that the people would have no trouble in establishing 'a case of murder in the first degree. In support of this view of th, case an interesting bit of testimony oaMrs. Riger, at whose store in Astoria Mrs. Nack is said to have bought the oil- cloth, was made public today for the first time. When Mrs. Nack had purchased the oilcloth, according to Mrs. Riger’s story, the customer asked the storekeeper: “Do you have. any strong binding cord?” “No,” was Mrs. Riger’s reply; “I do not sell any cord in my store.” “Oh, that is too bad,” said the cus- tomer, apparently greatly distressed, ”for in that case I shall be obliged to go back to New York to buy it." Seeing that the woman was greatly worried, Mrs. Riger said: “But I have all the pieces of cord which comes around the packages sent here. You are welcome to them if they will do you any good.” The woman appeared relieved at this, and when Mrs. Riger brought in a tangled mass of strong cords, no two of the lot exactly alike, the supposed Mrs. Nack grabbed the whole tangle and thanked the shopkeeper. This evidence is regarded as important, in view of the fact that no two of the cords found about the dismembered body were of the same texture. Calfskins Dutiable. Washington, Aug. 4.——Assistant Sec- retary Howell has rendered a decision in which he holds that calfskins should be classed as “hides of cattle," and therefore are dutiable under the new tariff bill at 15 per cent ad valorem.

Mass. ‘ Hudson, Mass, Aug. 4.—This com- munity was startled at an early hour by a heavy explosion, which was fol— lowed by an alarm of fire from the whistle of the L. S. Apsley Rubber company’s factory, and it was soon learned that an attempt had been made to blow up a section of the tenement building owned by the rubber company in which several workmen who are em- ployed at the factory in the place of strikers have been boarding. The explosion, it is thought, was caused by a dynamite bomb which had been placed under the piazza of a house occupied by a Mrs. Clark. The piazza was demolished, portions of the under- pinning were blown out, and a large section of the floor was torn up, causing damage amounting to several hundred dollars. ’ The place where the trouble occurred was at the eastern end of a block, about 300 feet long. containing nine tenements. it is the opinion of the authorities that the affair was merely an attempt on the part of some unknown person to frighten the workmen who have come here in opposition to the wishes of the striking employees of the factory. They are investigating the case. THE EASTERN MUDDLE. A Division of the Turkish Fleet Has Been Ordered to Sail For Crete.

Henry Auperts and His \Vife, Tired of Life Committed Suicide. Jersey City, Aug. 3.——Henry Aupert side by side at their home, 45 Lincoln street, with three gas jets turned on in their room. They sent their servant away last night, and in her absence committed suicide together. Aupert was 58 years old and his wife was 56. They were Germans and lived on the second floor of a dwelling house. Their servant obtained leave yesterday to visit friends and was away all night. She returned today and found the door! of the Auperts’ rooms locked. She knocked, but got no response. She called out, with the same result. She tried several times, but could not wake either the man or his wife. The Auperts were habitually early risers, and the servant became fright- ened. She noticed a slight smell of gas in the hallway and went out to search for a policeman. Roundsman Richards of the Webster avenue station returned with her and broke down the door. They found Aupert and his wife dead in bed together. Gas was flowing from three jets which were turned on full. Dr. Zola, whom the policeman called, said that the pair had been dead for hours. A letter on the table removed any doubt that the police might have had that the pair had committed suicide. It was written in German and address- ed to George Raven of 458 Central ave— nue, Jersey City. It said thé‘t the pair were tired of life and intended to end it together. V A GUSHBR IN CANADA. An Oil Well In the Gaspe Peninsula Yields Two Hundred Barrels Per Day. Montreal, Aug. 3.——Information reach- ed here today from the Gaspe penin— sula, in the extreme eastern portion of the province, confirming rumors of a valuable find of petroleum in Galt town- ‘ship. The well was bored under the direction of the Petroleum Oil Trust company, which is believed to be a branch of the Standard Oil company. At the present time 200 barrels per day are being taken from the well, which shows no signs of giving out. The trust has bored 30 wells in the Gaspe peninsula so far, and the best previous discovery was one yielding five barrels per day, according to the statements of the company’s officers. But there are other persons, professing to speak from certain knowledge, who are ready to swear that most of the 30 wells, which are all piped, in reality are 0.51— pable of a very large output of petro- leum and that the company is holding them in reserve against the contingency of exhaustion of some of its other prop- erties. It is certain that the oil company for a half dozen years has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the peninsula in prospecting and boring and it is ar- gued from this that the wells they have prepared are ready for instant operation in case the supply and de— mand should justify their operation.

Alleged Light. on the Famous Burdell 9 Murder In New York. , Chicago, Aug. 2.—-The Journal pub- lishes an interview with ‘William F. Woods of this city, purporting to give she secret of the famous Burdell mur- er. 31 Bond street, 40 years ago. Mr. Woods, in his interview, says that Dr. Burdell’s housekeeper, Mrs. Emma Au- gusta Cunningham, confessed herself the murderess, strangling the doctor with a cord, while John J. Eckel, her paramour, stabbed him with a. dentist’s excavator. , The confession, according to Mr. Woods, was made to Mrs. Dr. James Fowler, Woods’ grandmother and wife of the murdered doctor’s partner in dentistry. Mrs. Cunningham made a confidant of Mrs. Fowler because the latter had befriended her. Mr. Woods says the secret would not have been di- vulged but for recent unpleasant expe- riences it has cost the Woods and Fow- ler families in making claims to the es- tate of Dr. James Fowler, who died a year ago at Bordeaux, France, where he established himself as a dentist one year before the Burdell murder. The claims of the Woods and Fow- lers brought out threatening letters to Mr. Woods, who was one of the most active claimants. The letters referred to made mysterious references to the Burdell murder. A CRISIS IN GREECE. The Rumor of King George's Probable Abdiction Again Revived. Paris, Aug. 2.—It is rumored that the possible abdication of the king of Greece has inspired the following dis- patch from Athens: , “It is stated on good authority that in the event of a proposal looking to the establishment of foreign control of Grecian finances being adopted by the powers the king will makea declaration of exceptional gravity.” Berlin, Aug. 2.-—-The Post says: “Rus- sia and Germany having counseled Greece to submit to the conditions im— posed by the powers, M. Ralli, the pre- mier, replied loftily that Greece would never accept the idea of financial con- trol proposed and that she would help herself.” The Poor Indian. Milwaukee, Aug. 2.—Judge Seaman of the United States court has rendered an opinion in favor of the Illinois Steel company against John Budzisz and oth- ers, known as the Jones Islanders, in a case involving the titles to a great amount of Milwaukee property. Judge Seaman holds that a United States pat- cnt is the highest evidence of title where the grant originates out of the public domain and that the title to public lands never vests in the Indians. The Palmyra Island Affair. London, Aug. 2.-—The Daily News prints an article on Palmyra island, in which it says that the protest of Harold M. Sewall, minister to Hawaii, against the reported annexation of the island must be regarded as a ridiculous jest. “Palmyra,” the article says, ”is so diffi- cult of access that it is worthless even as a possible cable station. The folks who urged Minister Sewall to protest must now be laughing in their sleeves _at the. ridiculous fuss of the American jingo.” Prehistoric Fort Discovered. St. Paul, Aug. 2.——Captain Louis De Lestry of this city reports the discov- ery of a prehistoric fort in South Da- kota.

Petroleum Lake In Alaska. San Francisco, Aug. 3.—While the world is excited over the gold discover- ies in the north, sight has been lost of another discovery that promises to be of great value. Several months ago a lake of almost pure petroleum was dis- covered, and samples were sent to Se- attle for analysis. The report has just been made public, and. the find is re- ported to be of great richness. A com- pany has been formed in Seattle to han- dle the product, and travelers say that the company intends to put it on the Alaskan market at once. The lake is of unknown depth, several miles wide and 5 to 6 miles in length. It is only two miles from the ocean. The hills surrounding are said to- be rich in coal and asphalt. It is the expectation of the owners of the lake to take its prod- ucts into the mining camps of northern Alaska whenever the waterways ‘will permit. The Floods In Europe.

The Big Trust Is to Have Another Rap - at the Arbuckle Brothers. Philadelphia, Aug. 3.—The war be- tween the Sugar trust and Arbuckle Bros., the big coffee roasters, which has carried the trust into the coffee trade and the Ai-buckles into the mysteries of sugar refining, is soon to be transferred in part to this city. Some time ago the trust, in order to strike at the Arbuckles, bought control of the Woolson Spice company of To- ledo, one of the largest coffee houses in the country, and now it proposes to convert the old Delaware Sugar house at Reed and Swanson streets into a great coffee roasting establishment, from which the trade along the Atlantic seaboard may be easily reached. The old sugar house, which was formerly an independent refinery, was purchased by the trust about the same time that- it secured control of the Spreckels and Franklin refineries. For some years it has lain idle, its machinery being some- what old fashioned and its capacity limited as compared with the other big plants here. Recently a number of in— terior changes have been made in it, and already two consignments of coffee have been delivered at the establish- ment for experimental purposes. It is not likely, however, that active operations will be started for some time to come, as all the machinery needed has not been delivered yet. Much of it is to be imported from Germany. When the plant is completed, it will give em- ployment to a large number of skilled workmen. The shipments of coffee will be made direct to Philadelphia and will increase the imports here in an entirely new line. PORT CHAKDARA EELIEVED. The Loss of the Tribesmen “’as Heavy. Tilak Committed For Trial. Bombay, Aug. 3.—Fort Chakdara, in the Chitral district, which was be— sieged by a large force of insurgent na- tives, has been relieved by the British force, under General Blood. The fight— ing was severe, and the tribesmen lost heavily. The loss of the British was light. Gangadhar Tilak, the native member of the legislative council who was ar- rested on the evening of July 27 charg— ed with inciting the natives of Bombay to disaffection, was again brought up in the police court here today and formally committed for trial. When first arraigned on July 28, he offered to furnish bail for his appearance at any future proceedings, but the magistrate refused to admit him to bail. Tomor- row Tilak will make an application to the high court judges for an order re- quiring the authorities to release him on bail pending his trial. Tilak, as ca- bled at the time of his arrest, has for a long time been agitating against Brit- ish rule in India, and recently has been more than usually virulent. Eshoo ~Madow Bal, a partner of Tilak in the publication of Kesari, a native news- paper, was also arrested on July 27. TREACHEROUS PAPUANS. Many Australian Gold Hunters Massacred In New Guinea. Vancouver, B. 0., Aug. 3.—The steam- er Miowera, from Sydney, bring-s infor- mation of a massacre by Papuans. Not long ago great numbers of Australians were attracted by stories of fabulous gold discoveries in the interior of Papua, or New Guinea. Their ranks were thinned after they reached the island by mur- der, starvation and fatal swamp fevers. To make matters worse every native who helped a white man was marked for the tomahawk. The remnant of the whites went to Vanapa for a final ef- fort to make their fortunes and return. Their stores gave out and for months they lived on “damper” and tea. Na- tives in the vicinity claimed to be ill treated by the government and decided to teach the government a lesson by killing all the whites within reach. A raid was made at night and the whites put to death with tomahawks. Massa- cres have occurred in the same place before, but the government has never attempted to punish the murderers. The massacre occurred 85 miles from Port Moresby. The entire settlement perished. The government has now sent military police to surround the natives and shoot them if necessary. Balensi’s \Vife In Paris. London, Aug. 3.—A dispatch from Paris says that the name of Balensi, al- leged to be the late Max Lebaudy’s banker,,who is imprisoned in the Tombs in New York under the name of Wil- liam A. Bellwood, is Alfred and not Guillaume. The dispatch also says'that Balensi’s wife was not in Philadelphia at the time that Balensi, or Bellwood, was taken into custody, but was in Paris, where she and her three children were abandoned by her husband. Military Map of Canada. Ottawa, Aug. 3.—A new and impor- tant work which is now being carried out by the minister of militia is a mili- tary map of Canada, which, in the event of war within its territory, would be indispensable to the Dominion’s troops. It will show minutely the char- acter of the country, the fordable streams, the bridges, the roads and the lanes, the blacksmith shops, the places where grain is stored and all that sort of information. Nebraska’s Corn Crop Unhurt. Omaha, Aug. 3.—-—Mar.-;y eastern grain firms are telegraphing Nebraska con- nections for information concerning the effect of the extreme heat of Saturday and Sunday on the crops. Fifteen coun- ties have reported today that, though the mercury reached 112 degrees in some localities, corn there was not dam- aged. This is due to the great quanti- ties of moisture in the ground.
