latal Accident at Hazing. Nashville, April 19. A fatal acoi-dent ocourred at Huntington, where a party of schoolboys attempted to haze a new student. The plan was to take the victim to the woods and frighten him with pistols fired from ambush. One of the shots struck a young man named H.

Why, I knew a man who was killed by cigarettes." "Yes, such cases are said to be common." "Such a nice young man he was too. Cut off right in the prime of manhood. It was a cruel blow to his friends." "It's terrible," said his auditor, with a sympathetic sniff. "I will never forget when they brought him home mangled and" "Beg pardon. Did you say 'mangled?

Washington, April 19. Navy department officials are fairly dazed by the fresh chargos of fraud in the manufacture of armor platos. One Carnegie soandle has followed another so fast that the secretary of the navy and his aides have begun to regard with suspicion everything that comes from the Carnegie shops; but those latest disclosures, running back to the beginning of the work of making armor plates and coming down to date, are so stupendous in their character and extent that the navy officers feel almost like giving up in despair. The officials of the ordnance bureau make light of the charges, and declare their firm belief that when tho statements of ex-Burgess McLuckle and his associates are sifted, it will be found that they contain nothing not already known to the department, but they are anxious and nervous. If the stories are true, then the labor of years and millions of dollars have been thrown away, Secretary Herbert is much embarrassed by these new disclosures.

The incident of the frauds exposed last fall was a severe shock to him, and the arrangement he was compelled to make with the employes of the Carnegie mills to secure the information in their possession was very distasteful. To be forced to make another such arrangement, and to discover that more inferior plates have been foisted upon the government will be a great blow to the pride he hai felt in th work of the first year cf his term. But he does not flinch before the situation. v- STUDENTS IN A FIX. For Attending a Fight They May Ue Sent to Jail.

New Haven, April 19. Efforts are being made to compromise the strong stand taken by tho Connecticut Law and Order league Against the Yale students who attended the Russell-Dillon prize fight in February. About 80 students have left town to avoid arrest, and they are a raid to return till assurances are giv that they will not be prosecuted. Their friends have thus far pleaded in vain with the local authorities, who assert that every warrant will be served as soon as possible. The ponalty for attending a prize fight is, under the unrepealed blue laws, two years.

No fines are allowed, and the chances for a aumlver of Yale men emigrating are bright. WILL IGNORE IT. The l'etltlou Hi nt by the onion Agilmt CongrefiMnan Ilrecklnrhlire. Washington, April 19.

One of the leading members of the judiciary committee said in speaking of the action of the Women's league: "Thore is nothing the house can do in the matter. It was a civil suit, not a criminal suit.

No flag excepting our national ennign has ever been permitted to fly over that building, and I feel that you and your union, upon reflection, can but agree with me that under no circumstances whatever should the American flag, which floats there throughout the entire year, be permitted to be hauled down to be replaced by any other, no matter what that other may be or represent."

Cumberland has gotten cloar of the commonweal army, and Coxey and his command are on a two days'- trip on the canal.

There was some question at ftrut as to the possibility of the army being permitted to pass along Maryland's groat political ditoh. Superintendent Reod here did not give Mr. Coxey a positive answer when the application for boats was made, but telegraphed for instructions to headquarters at Georgetown, D. C. The reply came that the tolls would, be at the rate of S3 cents a ton, and thus the commonweal of Christ and army of peaoe will be transported under the same classification as coal.

The toll Will amount to $1B and Mr. Coxey will nay it. The army was not actually weighed, but was estimated tor tolling purposes. The estimate has boen a liberal one. It was for 200 men at 150 pounds each, 18 horses, 5 wagons and a buggy, a total of 25 tons, and an organization weighing 23 tons expects to compel congress to overturn the financial policy of the nation and sot up a new one.

"I was thankful for the kindness he had shown me, and told him if ever an occasion arose when I could be of service to him I waa at his command.
