Ix three or four weeks there will be ready for her trial trip a peculiarly shaped vessel, which, if the expectations of her designer are realized, will revoludonixe transatlantic passenger travel and dis count the performances of the "City of Paris" and other ocean greyhounds by at least two days. The vessel in question is the "Howard Cassard," and she is the In vention'of Robert M. Fryer. The vessel presents a radical departure from the lines heretofore followed in steamship building. Although she is 822 feet over all and 206 feet between perpendiculars her extreme breadth is only 18 feet and her bow as sharp as a knife. Her ex treme depth amidship is 18.4 feet, draught forward Is 8 feet and aft 10 feet. This would, under ordinary circumstances, be fatal to ter stability, butto overcome that the keel was made extremely heavy, weighing 68,000 pounds, which acts as ballast, and will, Mi. Fryer thinks, make the "Howard Cassard" non-capsizable. The machinery is powerful and the vessel is expected to develop a speed of thirty five miles an hour without any special effort. THE new law in regarT to school elec tions is intended to make the proceedings conform as nearly as possible to the pro visions of the state constitution. It pre scribes the qualifications of voters as fol lows: "Every male person over 21 years of age who is a citiz"n of the United States and who has resided six months in the district and is a taxpayer thereof, and all female citizens of the United States over 21 years of age who have resided in the district one year preceding the elec tion shall be entitled to vote." It will be seen that there Is quite a distinctive mode between men and women. The man who votes must be a taxpayer of the distraict; that Is, he must own real or per sonal property in the district subject to taxation or have paid a special per capita tax. With women this qualification is not required, but they are required to have lived in the district for one year preceding the election, instead of six months, as in case of the men. Tax great Anaconda company has been compelled to shut down its entire works on account of the exactions of the Mon tana Union Railway company, which Is a sort of a combination of Northern and Union Pacific extortion and general cuss edness.

The TitinussE would sug gest as a remedy the building of the Montana Central from Butte to Anaconda, or as a second and better one, the con struction of a big smelter and reulnioer at Great Falls. This would put an end to "rackets" with railroads. INDICATIONs point to the coming racing season In Montana as being one of the most successful ever held.

DESPERATE SHOOTING AFFRAY It Reunlts in the Killing of a Detective and the Serious Wounding of Two Others. THE RESULT OF A BOLD BURGLARY. A Severe Hailstorm Visits Orlando. Florida, and Does great Damage. Tree. Torn Up by the Roots -The Worst Storm in Many Years. Prrersouim, Pa., March 21.-A desperate shooting affray occurred in a house at Peter's Run, near McKeesport,at 7 o'clock tonight that resulted in the killing of one detective, the serious wounding of another and the slight wounding of two policemen and a woman. The shooting Is the sequel of a bold burglary that oc curred near Homestead. Six weeks ago a girl named Laura 11111 entered the Smith jewelry store at Homestead and began pricing various articles of jewelry. While in conversation with the girl three men, who had forced an entrance from the rear, struck the proprietor down and bound him. Lights were then turned out and the three with the girl completely cleaned out the store, escaping with $8,500 in cash and jewelry. The Gilkinson detective agency was given charge of the case, and not long after the girl, who is known by several names, was arrested in Harris burg with a suspicious lot of jewelry on her person. She was brought to the McKeesport jail, and by judicious pump. ing "peached" on her pals. Acting on her instructions tonight Chief Detective Gilkinson, of the Pittsburg agency, with Detective Pat Murphy and two McKees port policemen drove across the river to Peter's Run, reaching the house of the leader in the robbery, A. G. Budd, alias Fitzsimmons, at seven p. m. Meanwhile it is thought the girl had warned Budd, for when G(ilkinson threw open the door, Budd stood in the lower room apparently changing his clothes. The moment Budd saw Gilkinson he threw up a revolver and fired, the ball entering Gilkinson's forehead, killing him instantly. Detect ive Murphy leaped over the prostrate form In the doorway and, facing Budd, a terrible duel at short range in the smoke darkened room followed. Budd emptied one pistol and his wife ran to his side with another. Murphy, badly wounded, had also emptied his pistol and stooping to the body of the chief, drew his revol ver and renewed the firing. He was firing biindly into the smoke, however, while the burglar centered al: of his shots to ward the door. Suddenly the woman screamed and with a curse Budd planted a bullet into Murphy's breast, who fell back over Gulkinson a body. During the panic that siezed the two policmen at this second loss to their ranksgBudd threw some clothes over his arm and escaped. A review of the room showed the place to be a pepper-box of holes. Bullets had struck in every conceivable place. Gilkinson was dead. Murphy was shot in the forehead, chin and breast, though not fatally, while the woman received a shot io the arm, and the two policemen slightly wounded by dying bullets. The woman was tiken to jail, while telegrams were sent all over the state to intercept Budd, who is de scribed as five feet five inches in height, dark complexion and eyes and weighing 180 pounds. He Is a noted crook and at the time he was wanted for a previous burglary. DUN'N REVIEW OF TRADE. A Peeling of Conuiseae Prevalent In All Quarters. Naw YORK, March 20.-R. G.
