MADE A SCENE 0N BRO ADWAY A Young Asbury Park Business Man, on on Outing With His Sweetheart, Becames Insane and Lands In an Asylum. Tried to Throw Money Away. NEW YORK, July 5.—B. Frank Wain- wright, 28 years old, who keeps a large furnishing goods store at 611 .Mattlson avenue, in Asbury Park, N. J., became insane while on his way to the Grand Central station in a cab and was taken to Jefferson Market court by Policeman Blanch of the Broadway squad. Wainwright had come to New York in company with Miss Sadie F. Weaver of Asbury Park, to whom he is engaged to be married. They stopped at Smith & McNell’s restaurant, in Greenwich sheet, to get something to eat, and it was there that Wainwright first showed signs of mental trouble. He noted so strangely that a clerk in the restaurant, who is a friend of Wain- wright, called a cab and accompanied the man and his sweetheart on the way to the Grand Central station, where they in- tended to take a train for Amsterdam, N. Y. On the way up Broadway, Wainwright became violent. He attempted several times to jump out of the cab, and when opposite the St. Denis hotel almost suc- ceeded. At this point Miss Weaver fainted. She was taken into the hotel, while Police- man Blanch was asked by Wadrell, the clerk, to go to the hospital With the in- sane man. The party instead went to Jefferson Market court. When Wainwright was arraigned, he shrieked and acted in a most violent man- ner. He pulled oil a large diamond tin and tried to fling it into the audience, on at the same time he waved a roll of bank bills in his hands, protesting that he wanted to pay his fine. He was commits ted to have his sanity inquired into and was taken back to the prison. Insanity Caused by Over-work. Wainwright begged the magistrate to release him, and Mr. Flammer told him he might go. He at once started for the prison door through which he had been brought in. He didn’t get any farther than the prison, where he was searched with difi‘iculty. He had about $500 in his pockets. His diamond ring, scarfpin and gold watch. and chain were taken from him. He began to weep as he was led away to a cell. An ambulance from Bellevue hospital was called, but before it arrived Wainwright had to be placed in a strait- jacket. He was taken to Bellevue later. While in court Wainwright, who is about 28 years old, wrote a note and addressed it to “Inspectc- Byrnes, 300 Mulberry street.” In it he asked the ex-police chief to come to him at once, as he was being robbed. Wainwright’s father is said to be wealthy. The young man has lately start- ed in the furniture business at 611 Matti- son avenue, Asbury Park. He is not a drinking man, and it is thought that his sudden derangement was caused by over- work. Miss Weaver, who is a rather pretty girl, left the St. Denis shortly after her lover was arrested. She did not return to Smith & McNell’s. NEWELL AGAINST QUAY. The Senator Calls It a Cold Blooded, hier- canary Stab. PHILADELPHIA, July 5.—-United States Senator Quay made public a letter from ex-Sgnat-or J. K. Newell of Towandn, Pa., regretting his inability to pledge himself and his constituents for Mr. Quay in the present campaign. In his letter Mr. New- ell refers to the recent contest in Bradford county for the appointment of a dairy and food commissioner, which was ended by the appointment of Major Levi Wells by Governor Hastings. Major Wells was the candidate of Mr. Newcll’s branch of the party, but he says that the appointment was made Wit hout any pledges on his part as to what would be done in the present contest. “Nevertheless we feel morally bound, ” he continues, “to support, the governor in the convention. ” Mr. N ewell is said to be the lieutenant of ex-Lieutenant Gov- ernor W. T. Davies of Towanda, whose nomination in 1886 by a majority of 1% votes is said to have been the result of Mr. Quay’s work in the face of a bitter fight. Upon the receipt of the letter Sen- ator Quay sent this telegram to Mr. Da- vies: . “I have received Newell's letter. This is the coldest blooded mercenary stab I have encountered in this campaign of as- sassination. ’ ’ It was stated that this telegram was sent in view of published reports that Mr. Davies has been recently in conference at Harrisburg with err-Senator Newell and Governor Hastings.

PROVIDENCE, July 5.—A large two story wooden building known as the old cable car barn, the big factory of the American Degras Chemical company and a" con- tractors? stable on Valley street, Olney- ville, were destroyed by fire.

Lawrsron, Me, July 5.—This city is completely arrayed in Fourth of July 001- ors in honor of its one hundredth anni- versary. . Bonfiros and other preliminary features are now in full progress.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report R0 a; Bald as Powder ABSOLUTELY puns l . FITZSIMMONS IS FREE. Lanky Bob Acquitted of the Charge 0! . Killing Con Riordan. SYRACUSE, July 5.-—The jury in the case of the people against Robert Fitzslm- mons, charged with killing his sparring partner, Con Riordan, returned a verdict of not guilty after having been out about 3% hours. The announcement by the fore- man oi the jury was greeted by musing cheers from the throats of the people who more than filled the courtroom, and the gavel of Judge Ross was powerless to quiet the enthusiasm. Fitzsimmons was congratulated by hun~ dreds, and he immediately sent a messen- ger boy with a telegram for his’wife an- nouncing his acquittal. After shaking hands with all of the jurors and with Judge Ross, Fitzslmmons went immedi- ately to his hotel and left for New York, accompanied by Martin Julian, his broth‘ er-in-law, and Fred C. House, one of his attorneys. Shortly after the jury went out a re- quest was sent to the court that the jurors desired to examine the boxing gloves that Were used in the contest. This request was granted. , Fitzsimmons was much moved at the verdict of the jury, and when he shook hands with Judge Ross, with tears in his eyes, he said that he had tawny; tried 0 do the right thing with his friends. has acted in a. most gentlemanly manner all during the trial and has Won molly friends in the city. The trial has been, gstended with a large expense and the hit was not unexpected. The main point of contention was the contradictory statements of the medical experts sworn. Public sentiment was plainly with Fitz- simmons. He was ably defended, and the prosecution w'as also conducted in a Strong manner. At the place of Yank Sullivan' last evening Bob Fitcsimmons and several other noted pugilists took part in a box- ing and athletic entertainment. Fitzsim- mons boxed three rounds with the pro- prietor, the set-to being of the nature of a. go as you please scrap. Sullivan showed himself to be quite clover, despite his age, and three times he knocked the Austra- lian into his corner. Peter Maher, who is matched to fight Steve O’Donnell, and Tommy Ryan, the Welterweight champion, were also present and took part in the exhibition. Fitzsimmons said before leaving for New York that he wOuld begin training today at Coney Island for his coming bat- tle with Jim Corbett at Dallas this fall. His training will be under the direction of Martin Julian, his hrother-in-law, and will be kept up continuously until about two weeks before the date set for the big fight, when he will go south and establish temporary quarters, probably at Galves- ton. Fitzsimmons said that he would try to get some good man to act as a sparring partner. He had been thinking of Paddy Slavin, the English heavyweight, and would secure him if possible. Together with Julian and a couple of attendants, this will comprise the training party. When asked about the probable result of the refusal of the state comptroller of Texas to grant a license for the big battle, Fitzsimmons said that until lib received ofiiciol notice from Dan Stewart 01‘ others of the Dallas syndicate he would not be« licve it. “Such reports as these,” he said, “are not,to be believed upon first reading. I shall continue my training until the day of the battle, no matter what hepA pens.” Comptroller Finley‘s Letter. DALLAS, July 5.—The letter in which Comptroller Finley says he declined to legalize glove contests by issuinga license for the go between Corbett and Fitzsim- mons had no perceptible effect on the offio cers and managers of the Florida Athletic club. It was not even looked upon as a “frost, ” and when your representative called all was activity and bustle. The architect was present with his plans for the huge amphitheater, and the secretary was busy filing applications for Seats. In response to a direct question Manager Stewart said: “The glove center will take place on Oct. 31. This is po_-tive. The eminent lawyers of Dallas and other cities have decided this. They say that glove contests are not prohibited by law in Texas, and hence Corbett and Fitzsimmons will ap- pear in the ring in the city of Dallas on the day set forth above. ” Fell on a. Stake. LYONS, N. Y., July 5.—Char1es Bas« tian, a North Lyons farmer, met with a horrible accident here. While unloading hay in his barn he slipped and fell on one of the stakes of his wagon. The stake entered his neck under the chin, badly lacerating the throat and, the tongue and knocking out several teeth, and came out through the upper lip, passing squarely through the tongue. By a superhuman efi'ort Bastian drew himself upon the stake. He managed then to get to his home, where he now lies in a precarious condition. A Double Murder. GUTHBIE, O. T, July 5.—A terrible double murder is reported here from Gar- vin postoffice, 70 miles east of here.

HELD FOR All” CRIME Husband and Wife Charged With a Murder Done In Canada. WERE RUN DOWN IN FLORIDA The Grays Are Charged With Killings Man Whom They Had Induced to Give Up His Property—Burned the House and Then Fled Far Away. NEW YORK, July 5.—-On board the Clyde line steamship Algonquin, which arrived here from Charleston, ' there were two prisoners who have figured in one ,of the most sensational murder cases that have occurred in recent years. The prisoners are Thomas Gray and his wife, Hetty Gray. Both are Canadians, and, as the murder for which they are to be tried was committed in Canada, they are in charge of a Canadian policeman. J. W. Murray, the chief of the provin- cial detective force, is the man who traced the fugitives to Florida, and who told the story of the crime and the arrest to a re- porter. David Scollie, the murdered man, he said, lived in the little hamlet of Peter- borough, in the province of Ontario. He was a bachelor, well advanced in years, owning a large farm and very well to do. Near him resided the Gray family, Thom- as, wife and six children. They rented a small farm and had a hard struggle to get along. One day, it seems, Mrs. Gray persuaded her husband to make old man Scollié' a proposition. It was that he give to the Grays the use of the farm which he owned, they in return to care for him during the tfit-offihis natural life. Deeded Them All His Property. The lonesome old bachelor readily as! sent-ed. The willingness with which he accepted the proposal made Mrs. Gray vexed with herself because she had not had her husband demand more. She finally induced him to see Scollie again and ask that a deed of gift of all his property be drafted, transferring the farm and its be- longings to the Grays at the time of death. Singularly enough, Scollie acceded to that also. The deed was duly drawn and registered, and Scollie came to live with the Grays. That was four years ago. Several months after his arrival Mrs. Gray became impa~ tient for the: possession and control of the property and openly expressed a wish that the benefactor of the family would hurry up and die. He did not die, however, and, moreover, showed no signs that he would do so for many years. Mrs. Gray is then alleged to have said to her sister, a Mrs. McGregor, who lived near by, that she believed it would be no harm to kill the man. Mrs. McGregor was shocked, and told her sister that she must not talk like that, and told her that the law would surely bring her to an ac— count. It is said that Mrs. Gray replied, “Suppose I kill him and then burn the house—who will know anything about it?’ ’ Tried to Hide the Head. About a year after the alleged conver- sation the McGregors were aroused at 2 o’clock in the morning by one of the Gray children knocking at the door. The child said her mother had sent her to say that the house was on fire. Mr. McGregor hurried to the blazing building and met Mrs. Gray on the road. She had a bundle under her arm and tried to persuade McGrcgor not to venture into the burning house. He did, however, and, aided by neighbors, found the body of Scollie. Flames had not reached it, but the head had been severed and was miss— ing. It is now believed that it was in the bundle which the woman had under her arm. It appears that none of the suspicious circumstances which led to the death of Scollie came out until the insurance peo- pie began to ask questions. They found- that the house had been insured for five times its actual value, but they did not discover that until the Grays had collect- ed the insurance, disposed of the farm and disappeared. . Detective Murray was placed on the case, and.for nearly a year he was endeav- oring to find the fugitives. He at last lo- cated them in Florida, and found them in hiding near Ocala. Requisition papers were secured, and the man and wife were arrested. The detective took his prisoners to Can ads. by an early train today. They spent the night on board the Algonquin. Gray and his wife have been indicted for arson and murder in the first degree. A Triple Stab ing. SHENANDOAH, Pa., July 5.—Martin Battigan, a miner, aged 30 years, was re- leased from prison, and, seeking out his 'wife, asked her to return to him. She re- fused, and he threw her to the floor and plunged a large pocketknife into her body. Attracted by the screams, Miss Lena Miller, her sister, rushed into the room, and Rattigan, turning upon her, inflicted two dangerous stab wounds in the back. He then fled to the woods, but was pursued by the police, and upon their approach stabbed himself three times in the stomach. He was lodged in the Potts- ville jail. All will prpbably die. Buried by a. Big Chimney. LOWELL, Mass, July 5.—A 90 foot chimney in the Lowell machine shop yard was pulled over, and the mass of bricks and rubbish crashed through the'roof of the foundry, buryng a Greek workman under it and injuring Arthur Fletcher, Thomas Pedrick and Michael Regan, also workmen. A guy tape from a. der- rick being used on the outside of the ca- nal by the Locks and Canals company had been attached to the chimney. ' Ike Weir Challenges Dixon. BOSTON, July til—Ike Weir, the cham- pion featherweight pugilist, issued a chal- lenge to George Dixon to fight at Dallas at the coming pugilistic tournament for $1,000 a side.
