Hayes, one of the best known young ‘men in Meriden, committed suicide by shooting himself in the breast at the Atlantic hotel in this city yesterday morning. I The deed was committed some time . during the forenoon and it was not un- til 2 p. ., that his dead body was found by the chambermaid in the bed, and Landlord Warren was notified. Death was caused by a 32-calibre bul- let that entered the left breast two inches below and one inch to the left of the nfipple, the muzzle of the revol- ver being placed so close to the breast as to burn the flesh. The bullet enter- ed the heart and death was instantan- eons. _ , The only possible identification was found. on a little silver hat plate fixed to the lining inside and bearing the in- scription, “J. W. Hayes.” The scarf was attached to the bottom of the shirt with a silver tie clasp on which was the-monogram "J. W. H.” On the table in the room was pen- ciled on the back of a. sheet of hotel "letter paper this: "Inform Frank A. Coester.”. This . evidenCcd the fact that suicide was the intent. ——<o<a>o>——-—- LENTEN TEA. In Charge of Mrs. F. S. Lyon, In, at the Central Club. I ‘f i The Lenten Tea.

Max Ptralz and Michael J. Lyons the Con* testants. There was alively “little difference” between Max Baratz and Michael J. Lyons Saturday afternoon at the New York. store, L‘which has resulted in the arrest of both parties, both of whom were paroled for a hearing in the Town Court to-morrow morning. wThe story as told a reporter is in sub- stance as folloWs: Baratz agreed to deliver fifteen bush- els of potatoes to the New York store at a figure fixed upon. . ' Saturday afternoon, after having pre- 'viously delivered the goods Baratz call- ed at the store to collect for the same. Mr. Lyons, the manager of the store, told him that the fifteen bushels of po- tatoes alleged to have been delivered were “shy” a bushel and a peck. This, of course, Baratz denied, and ' refused to accept the amount offered, which he claimed was $1.05 less than was due him. On the further refusal of Lyons to pay him! the full amount, Baratz became abusive and used‘lan-‘ guage scarcely fit for publication. ' As there were several women in the store at the time, Lyons requested Baratz to‘either leave the store or cease his virulent language. This, Baratz refused to do and Lyons promptly ejected him from the store, with the result that Baratz swore out a complaint against him. Lyons was placed under arrest and . soon after. paroled. This morning Baratz appeared in- court with a. blood corpuscle ongthe lobe of one of his cars, which be pro- posed putting in evidence as an assault on the part of Lyons. ' The judge adjourned the case until tomorrow morning, Mr. Lyons not be- ing present. . sworn out, and this time by Lyons, and" Baratz was placed underari est. Bar- atz threatens to carry the. case to the higher courts, and it may be that on the annals of} the U. S. Supreme court will appear the famous Norwalk potato case. THE WHEEL CONTEST.

Gets Decision Over Choynski in Twentieth I Round. SAN FRANCISCO, March 25l—With great cleverness and ring generalship round, “Kid” McCoy was very proper- ly awarded the decision 6ver’Joe Choyn‘ ski at the end of the 20th round for the Natmnal Athletic club in Mechanics’ pavilion last night. It was a very pret- ty fight, but it was almost entirely in favor of the young man. '~ McCoy won and won easily. He had the fight in his hands and at any one of the half a dozen palpable opportun- ities he could have administered a. de- cisive and knockout blow.' But again and again he failed to follow up his ad- vantage and Choynski was' considered lucky to be able to stay the 20 rounds. McCoy was the aggressor in his own fashion, drawing Choynski out, except in the second round when Joe landed' thrice in succession, but not very ef- fectively, and again in the 11th when the “Kid” was painfully resting and simply out of reach. In the fifth round Joe was apparent- ly going under the furious rain of Me- Coy’s blows, but Joe was saved by the gong after the brief respite and rallied. and fought his uphill task. But he did not. seem to like the game. Mc- Coy’s stomach blows particularly, were little to his liking and he winced pitifully under the frequent punish— ment which he received. On the other hand Joe could not reach the "Kid” effectively, who was entirely‘too clever for him in getting __ away. When Joe did land it was frequently upon Mc- Coy’s small, hard head ,nd the blows did more damage to Joe’s hands than ' to the objective point. .

RESUMEDTOTDAY. _.__———- The Beginning of the Relations Betwben Dr. Nancy and Her Victim ‘Not Yet Reached. When the trial of Dr. Nancy. Guil- ford for the murder'of Emma Gill clos- ed on Friday afternoon and‘ Judge Wheeler excused the jury until this morning, the state had put thirty wit.- nesses in all upon the stand. Notwithstanding this array of wit- nesses the state did not reach the point where Dr. Guilford’s relations with Emma Gill began. The entire time has been devoted to proving that a crime was committed, and the identity of the victim. With a score more wit- nesses to be called, and .some of these experts who are liable to long examin- ations, there is little fhance that the state will finish its case until the end of this week. As far as the evidence of the state has been submitted, the defense in cross-examination has developed the fact that Dr.,Gui1ford’s lawyers will endeavor to claim that the body found in Yellow Mill pond is not that of Emma Gill. , Although this defense may be pre- sented, it is said that the state has convincing evidence that the murdered girl was none other than Emma Gill. 1..
