A wild-cat speculation, followed or
preceded either by defalcation or betrayal
or trust, has been responsible
for a startling number of suicides in
Philadelphia among men of affairs
and promiucnoc in toe social world.

On the lips of a two year-old bsby

to glean* from the child some Inkling

reached P llladelpbla this morning

draraaMc polloe Inquiry,
II?rrv Somers, who also hoarded at

looked upon his dead wife, took the
b&hy from the arms of a big policeman
and, walking op to the Rimnen*,
pi aded with the lit'la cue to say
whether he lor ked like the murderer.
"Big man hurted mamma,'' lisped

"Is this the b'g man, dear?'' walled
the father, setmh.g about to sink to

stubborn silence. The police will

The Eleventh street house, where
the Lewis family had lived more than

Mrs. Lewis was attacked in the
dining room, where her throat was

dragged through several rooms aud

There she slowly died, while the

?hreeolthe Party Drowned. I u

MIbs Fannie D&y, a yoing department
store employe of New York olty
who was one of a party of eight persons
In a naphtha launch which was
cspsiz>d In the lower bay early Saturday,
had the most remarkable escape
from death by drowning that
any human being probably has ever
experienced. Three of her companions
were swept to the bottom when
the launch, with disabled engines,
was run Into by a mud scow. Miss
Day had gone down with the others
and when nothing was seen of her for
hours afterwards It was reported she
had met death. But. when the mud
scow had been towed nearly to Its des
filiation and the deok hands were adjusting
the dumping apparptus at the
bottom, they were startled to tind a
handsomely dressed young woman In
oue of the pookets. MIbs D&v bad
been literally scooped out of the war,,
er by the dumping machine which had
oeen left open after the scow had d.scharged
its last load at sea.
M'ss iHy was just regaining con
Hclousness when discovered and had
b-gun to sall feebly for help. Two
women and one man wt o were in the
launch were drowned, while three mer
and one woman, the latter Miss Maoel

The party was returning last night
from Snei ps ;e*d Bay, wherp they had
dinner and although a st II galo wah

high, all went well until the engines oi
the launch pave out. Allnightl np t! e

They called loudly f >r help and
signalled their distms. The tup
swept by and apparently the>
were not seen by those on (
board. So close did the tug run thai
the wind drove the second scow
against the launoh and caused It to 1
upset. 1 he eight occupants of the

Three of the men and Miss Cook man- ,

launch and clung to It until the tug
MoOandilsh Brothers and the incoming
steamer El Paso rescued them.
The survivors were taken to Staple I
ton, L I., and sent to an intirmarj
where they ' ?fused at tirst to divulge
their own names or those of the persons
who were drowned.
Miss Day when brought to her home
in St. Niohol&s avenue tnis afternoon
said that in the party were two Mr
Dodds, Miss Cook and two married
couples, wnose names she did not
know. The start, she said, was madt <
from Sheepshead Bay about 8 o'clock
Saturday night. Then the engim
broke rown. At daybreak the scows (
were sighted and although every one
screamed for help, neither any one ol i
the tug nor on the scows seemed tc
see or hear them.
The collision them came and al
though the party, even to the * o nen,
worked to keep the boat upright, ii ,

ExplAlped by 8ute Veterinarian at
Clemaon College.
Within the last month the State
veterinarian has received a number of
letters oonocrning cattle affected with
sore mouth aud, ia many cases, sore
cr tender feet. As the disease seem*
to be generally prevalent, no doubt as
a r suit of the loog continued wet
weatner, the following Information
concerning it is supplied for publication:
The disease is known In medicine
as mycotic stomatitis, It Is no cootaglous
or lnfeotious but la csu?ed by
fungi or moulds which grow upou forage
or grass. Tnese f ngl, which
grow luxuriantly In wet searoos, have
a very irritant tffnotupon the lining
membr. ne of the mouth, the u em
brace covering tue tongue and upon
the soft skin between tie claws.
Affcoted animals eat and drink with
great difficulty or not at til, the sv
11 va forms f 0U1 around the hps or
di.bbles from the mouth, the membrane
lining the mouth 19 sr.rl hot
and contains ulcers, the offensive odor
is usually p es?no. Son etlmts h
skin between the claws &Ld justabovt
the hoof is aff?cted and theu the ani
mal waiks sMtT and sore. The trouble
is usu'illy coulined t the anterior
limb^ but all four legs may be attack
td. In milk cows ulcers n ay also appe.
r on the udder and teats.
Herds of cai<tle in which animals
have been attacked with this desease
should he removeu from the pastuie
In which they have been runnlug. j
The all cted aulmais should be fed on
s )ft food, sucn as bran mashes, meai
and gru? Is. They shou d l ave free
acorns m all times to ciean, cool water
anrl fain V\?u nln,. Wl ?. ? ' - *
tu ior<^iuk i/n liic. pUULll Uln OI
borax should be disbolven in each of
the li.si t*o bucketH of water tfiven
each day. The mouth should be
washed out dally with a solution of
oreollue?oo tabitspoonful of oreo'lne
to eaoli quart of watt r?aud following
this a aalf-taoiespo 'iifui < f alum or
borax should be p aced on the tongue.
Diseased areas on the fei t should be
washed dally w th the creel' ne soluti n
and afternard covered wh h zinc ointment.
If this treat ment is properly
applied and the animals are carefully
fed the disease will rap dlv d.sapptar.
A I) tut School Ko ikH,
State Superlntendant of E location
O B. Martin says the c? ntraot wltl
publishers of school books is to be
s.rlotly enforced. Teach- rs are not
to iiave their pay warrants approved
unless they use the adopted books. Ir
will be to the advantage of the pat
rotis to bavi this rule strictly enforc
ed while the exchange period lasts, In
order that all of the old .books may bi
taken up. If this is done, the en
foroemetit r f the rule vlll be easy after
the exohau^e period expires. In a
letter to the d flerent County Superintendents
of Klucati >n he sayt:
' Please let all of the teachers, aLd
