SHE PLIEillilWHIDF.

Summary Punishment Given by a
Wife to an Alleged Rival.

A Hence STREET BATTLE.

Horsewhip Versus Umbrella—Advantage
With Assailant Throughout—Finger
Nails as a Last Resort—A New
Brunswick Sensation.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.. July 21.—
Goaded into intense jealousy by the atten-
tions which her husband, Isaac G. Van
Arsdalen, a produce merchant, is alleged
to have paid to Mrs. Hattie Vossler, an
attractive young widow, Mrs. Van Arsda-
len lay in wait on Bayard street today
and administered a fierce horsewhipping
to her rival while a crowd of 200 people
looked on.

Mrs. Vcssler, thrown off her guard,
fought with her umbrella as a weapon.
After a terrific struggle of 22 minutes
both women dropped exhausted.

Mrs. Van Arsdalen’s story is that her
husband has been spending altogether too
much time with [Mrs Vcssler on excur-
siOns and jaunts out of the city. Her par-
ticular complaint is that her husband was
absent from home all Saturday and Sun-
day. This Mrs. Vossler driied emphat-
ically in Recorder Sullivan .. office today.

The gossip finally reached Mrs. Van
.Arsdalen. She resolved to end it. Her hus-
band, when she complained to him, had
given her noisatisfaction.

Mrs. Van Arsdalen was acquainted with
Mrs Vossier’s habits. She knew that she
generally passed down Bayard street
shortly after 8 o’clock in the morning.
Mrs. Van Arsdalen armed herself with a
short rawhide whip and lay in wait.

She had not long to wait. Mrs. Van
Arsdalen caught sight of Mrs. Vossler by
the time the latter was at George street,
half a block away. Then she hid behind
the building until the widow was well up

- to her, then sprang out and started to
flourish her whip.

“Now are you geing to stop running
around with my husband?”

If she meant Mrs. Vossler to answer the
question, she did not give her much
chance, for promptly she brought the
horsewhip down upon the widow’s shoul-
ders and face, repeating the blows as fast
as she could.

A Fierce Battle.

Mrs. Vossler said nothing. at all, but
put up a parasol she was car‘rying and
managed to stop a good many of the blows,
but while Mrs. Van Arsdalen was hurling
invectives at her she plied the whip vigor-
ously, and Mrs. Vossler, being the smaller
of the two women, was compelled to re-
treat. She backed away, warding off the
blows as best she could, and Mrs. Van
Arsdalen, screaming and unable to get
enough satisfaction out of the beating,
walked quickly after her. .

The attack continued all the way down
Bayard‘ street to Nelson, and then the
women turned into Nelson street, each
giving and taking, then thrusting and
parrying, with Mrs. Van Arsdalen get-
ting the better of the duel all the time be-
cause of the superiority of her weapon.

When the women reached Thomas
Marsh’s restaurant, Mrs. Van Arsdalen
made an efi’crt to get the umbrella away
from the widow.

Then came the tug of war. The women
clinched, Mrs. Vossler holding on to her
umbrella and Mrs. Van Arsdalen letting
go of her whip, and both began to use their
finger nails. They tore at each other like
tigers. Their faces were scratched and
bleeding. Their clothes hung in shreds.
Their hair hung down their backs in the
wildest tangle.

The crowd which surged around looked
on with the interest of a mob at a prize
fight. N 0 one offered to interfere.

Finally Mrs. Van Arsdaleu, who did the
most aggressive fightng all the time, got
possession of the widow’s umbrella, and
bringing it down hard upon Mrs. Vossler
broke it into several pieces. Both women
were now played ' out and stopped from
sheer exhaustion.

Smarting under the gaze of the crowd,
they went into nearby houses and arranged
their clothes, for both presented a sorry
spectacle. . Bits of clothing were scattered
about the street, and here and there were
splashes of blood.

Mrs. Van Arsdalen, hysterical with ex-
citement, soon went home. Her husband
had seen the fight almost from the begin-
ning, but he took no hand in it, not even
joining in the crowd.

A few hours afterward Mrs. Vossler ar-
rived at police headquarters. accompanied
by her father, William Ferguson, and
made a complaint of atrocious assault and
battery against Mrs. Van Arsdalen. The
latter will make a counter complaint after
seeing a lawyer.

Both women attend the same church.
The scandal has aroused the whole town.

Three Boys’ Sentences Commuter].

WASHINGTON, July 21.—The president
has commuted to imprisonment for life
the death sentences imposed upon three
Texans, John 0. Ball, Tom Davis and
Taylor Hickman. They were to be hanged
Sept. 4 haxt. In the case of Bali the pres-
ident says that while he has been twice
convicted of murder the judge and district
attorney both urge the commutation on
the ground of youth. Davis and Hickman
are full blooded Indian boys of 14 and 13
years respectively without any apprecia-
tion of the enormity of their crime.

Street Car Employees Burned.

CHICAGO, July 21.—It has been learned

_ .4...—
The Patient Will Be Removed to Newport
as Soon as Possible.

New YORK, July 21.—-Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt spent a comfortable night and
showed another great improvement in his
condition today. When the attending
physicians paid their first visit, they found
that he was doing better than at any time
since he was attacked with paralysis Tues-
day morning, aud they thought the im-
provement on the seventh day of his sick-
ness was unusually cheering for such cases.

Dr. Delafield and Dr. Janeway left the
city Saturday. night with the intention of
returning today, unless in the meantime
there should be a change for the worse in
Mr. Vanderbilt’s condition. His improve-
ment, however, was so rapid that these
gentlemen were telegraphed that they need
fear no alarm.

Today the outlook for the injured man
was brighter still. Dr. McLane spent the
night at his bedside, and when he left he
said Mr. Vanderbilt’s condition was en-
couraging.

“He rested well,” Dr. McLane' said,
“and when he awoke a great change for
the better was noticeable. He is so well,
in fact, that it will be needless to issue an
official bulletin. This cool weather is do-
ing the sick man an enormous amount of
good.”

It has been definitely decided to remove
Mr. Vanderbilt to his summer home, the
Breakers, at Newport. as soon as his con-
dition will permit. Just how long before
this will be the physicians have not been
able to determine, but if he continues to
improve at the present rate they are hope-
ful that in two weeks he may be safely re-
moved.

Mr. Vanderbilt speaks with less diffi-
culty now than he did at any time since
his illness and has been able to move one
of his legs and arms. He has not yet taken
any 'solid food.

There were several callers at the house,
among them being some of Mr. Vander-
bilt’s business associates, but none of
them was allowed to see the patient. Sev-
eral more truckloads of tanbark were dis-
tributed along Fifty-eighth street between
the Savoy hotel and the Plaza hotel today.

Harry Payne Whitney, Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt’s, fiance, who has called at the
house several times each day since Mr.
Vanderbilt’s sickness, was an early visitor
again today.

“Mr. Vanderbilt,” he said when he
came out, "is as well as could be expected
and is rapidly improving.”

JAMBSON AT THE BAR;

The Trial of the Famous Transvaal Raider
Begins In London.

LONDON, July 21.——The first trial at her
since the famous Tlchborne claimant case
was begun today when Dr. Jameson, Major
Sir John Willoughby, Colonel R. Grey,
Colonel H. F. White, Major R. White and
Henry F. Coventry were arraigned before
Lord Chief Justice Russell, Baron Pollock
and Mr. Justice Hawkins. The charge
against the defendants is violation of the
neutrality laws by invading the territory
of’tbe South AfricanRepublic. Most of the
leading members of the bar of Great Brit-
ain have been engaged either for the prose-
cution or for the defense.

Long before the hour had arrived for the
beginning of the trial every nook and cor-
‘ner in the courtroom allotted to spectators

was thronged. There were many ladies
among the audience.

Sir Edward Clarke, for the defendants,
made a motion to quash the indictment on
the ground that it was indefinite in its al-
legations and that it had not been proved
that the foreign enlistment act had been
proclaimed where the offense alleged had
taken place. Sir Richard Webster, Q. 0.,
the attorney general, replied on behalf of
the government.

When the attorney general had closed
his argument, the court adjourned until
tomorrow.

Alleged Japanese Atrocities.

LONDON, July 21.—A Hongkong dis-
patch to The Times says that amissionary

tiate every fact. The Japanese, he says,
are fast exterminating the Chinese in that
locality. More than 60 villages have been
burned and thousands of persons have
been killed with revolting brutalities.

Mrs. John W. Mackay's Father Dead.

ROME, Italy, July 2l.—Colonel Daniel
E. Hungerford, father of Mrs. John W.
Mackay, died today at his home in this
city. Colonel Hungerford was a native of

Die in 1849, he remained on the Pacific
coast until the breaking out of the civil
war, when he returned to New York and

iment of New York volunteers.

Tried to Drown Children and Herself.

CHICAGO, July 21.——Because of the al-
leged cruelty of her husband Mrs. Henry

them a short distance into the water, tak-
ing the youngest in her arms and telling
the others to wade out for a bath. By-
standers notified the police, and the wom-
an and children were taken to a police sta-
tion, where she told her story.

Astronomers Getting Ready to M’alre 0b-
servations or the Phenomenon. .

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.—Advlccs re'
ceived from Japan say the expeditions to
take observations of the solar eclipse of
Aug. 9 are flocking to Japan. . The steamer
Coronet, with a party of United States
scientists, reached Yokohama on June 22.
Among the party were Captain and Mrs.
.A. James, Professor and Mrs. Todd, Chief
Engineer Pem berton, U. S. N.; E. A.
Thompson, chief astronomical mechanic;
Mr. Gerrish of Harvard college, Frank
Thompson, assistant astronomical me-
chanic; Dr. Adriance and A. W. Francis.

The eclipse will begin near Shetland
islands, oh the coast of Scotland. Thence
its track curves upward across the north
coast of Norway, through Lapland, bisect-
ing the southernmost island of the Nova
Zembla group, than crosses Siberia to the
gulf of Tartary and south to the island of
Yesso.

The central line of eclipse nearly touches
Cape Sova, the extreme northern point of
the island, from which it runs southeast,
leaving the Japanese coast at Akeshi. A
number of mountain peaks, some reach-
ing to the height of 7,000 feet, rise along
the central line, and meteorological ob-
servations have determined that these cle-
vations offer superior advantages to as-
tronomers. '

0n the island of Yesso the eclipse will
begin at 3:05 on Aug. 9 and will last 2
minutes and 40 seconds. It is proposed to
establish a large equatorial mount, which
will have 25 instruments pointed at the
sun and which will be operated autom t.
ically by electricity. The instruments w ll
take between 500 and 600 negatives of the
corona.

Professor Schaeberle of Lick observatory,
Cal, had arrived a week before the Coro-
net. The French scientists came about the
same time, and the party of English as-
tronomers is expected in three days. Pro-
fessor Schaeberle proceeds to Akeshi and
ProfessorTodd’s party to Mobetsi.

nx—covnanoa RUSSELL BURIED.

The Remains of the Massachusetts States-
man Laid to Rest.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 21.-—The pri-
vate funeral services of the late ex-Gov-
ernor Russell at the residence on Brattle
street were held today by Rev. Alexander
MaoKenzie. Outside the house, under a
sky which had assumed a somber hue
under prevailing clouds, a large crowd
had gathered. Within all was quiet as the
entire family waited for the arrival of the
clergyman. When he came. after an ear-
nest prayer and words of sympathy the fam-
ily retired. _

When the undertakerhad made every-
thing ready, ten of the classmates of Mr.
Russell at Harvard, who hai been chosen
to perform the duty, took up the casket by
its bars of silver and bore it to the waiting
hearse. A large numbe of floral emblems
were placed in carriages, and then, under
escort of 16 Cambridge patrolman, the
procession moved toward the city hall.

On each side of the casket stood six sen-
tinels, wearing white uniforms of the Bos-
ton cadets. The casket was almost buried
beneath the profusion of floral oflerings
from members of the family and from oth-
are not only in every section of the state,
but from many points elsewhere.

A few intimate friends were permitted
to view the body before the’general public
was adzzzitted. Then for three hours solid
lines of people passed the bier‘without a
break, téze total number of them reaching
into the thousands.

The doors were then closed, and soon
afterward the body was removed to the
Shepard Memorial church, where the pub-
lic funeral services were conducted by Mr.
MacKenzie. The interment at Mount
Auburn followed.
