In last night's News appeared a sensational article under the caption, "Attempt At Murder." The article was as follows : "About teh days ago some one at the locomotive works threw a large fron nut at the head of a foreman, who has lately come from the United States. Luckily for the American it missed ite aim. Great efforts ave be- ing made to discover the identity of the eatapult from which the iron mis- wile came." In view of the extraorlinary state ment therein contained, a Whig re porter to-day took occasion to visit the locomotive works, and make some enquiries concerning the matter. It Le ing a cave of almost ancient history, the authorities had well-nigh foargot ten it Managing director Birming- ha made the following statemens ; "I noticed the article i+ the News, and consider it most uncalled for and outrageous, It is nothing less than an insiilt to a body of men such as we have here in the shops. 1 think that before such an item is published, the newspaper should take some means of ascertaining whether or not there was any foundation for the statement that there had been an attempt at murder. The News ought to know perfectly well that there is no man in the employ of this company who would attempt to murder his follow man, The facts of the case are al together different from the published statement." A couple of hove in the machine shop were sky-larking, having some sport. One of them picked up a small picce of iron and threw it at the other. It passed nar where 'the fore man was standing, and hit the wall behind him. No one in the shops ever thought of mentioning the matter because it wus so childish and tri- vial. The authorities consider that the inference from the News article is that a union man would stoop to an attempt at mwder. Such is a seri- ous reflection on an intelligent body of mechanics. The foreman instead of being here only a few weeks, as sta- ted, has been in 'the shops ever since last fall. Left For Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Morris and child, left ths afternoon for New York, thence sailing for Treland, their home. They have spent the last nine months in Kingston, and were de- lighted with the place XS residential town. Mr. Morris is an Trish gentle man of means, and an enthusiastic sportsman. While here, both he and Mrs. Morris made hosts of friends, who regret their departure, but hope they will return here again. One Engine Derailed. Two engines for the Algoma Cen- ral railway were turned out yester: day at the locomotive works, and left at onve for their destination, via the K. & P. line. To-day. the company was pprised. df the fact that one of the locomot had left the track at Flower station. The engines were large switching ones, and pretty heavy for the K. & P. track. There will be con- siderable difficulty in placing the lo- comotive on the rails. Born Without Eyes.

KINGSTON MAN INJURED. An Accident at Brockville Caused Serious Trouble. Brockville, Ont., April 8.~A young man named Frnest Nevins, whose i home is in Kingston, Ont., an? who was for some time employed as lige man by the Bell telephone company, was probably fatally injured, while at work this afternoon. He was working at the top of a very high pole, on which were numerous heavy cross { bars, and the pole had been perforat- ed so often with bolts that it was | too weak for the weight of his body and its cross arms. The wind was blowing hard while.

King Said to Hawve Operated Extensively. Buffalo, April 8. ~The police arrested Edward W. Kappelle, superintencent of agencies for the Equitable lile as sursnce society, of New York, living in Bufiajo, and Edward W. King, sec retary-treasurer of the Nash improve ment company, of Niagara Falls and Suspension bridge, New York, But ouly one arrest was made, for one man has plaved both roles. As Kappelie, he was a prominent Buffalonian, a member of the Acacia club, a Knight Templar, and an insur- ance man of such ability that he drew £1,000 a month, He lived in a com- fortahle house with a wife and two children. As King. at Niagara Falls he main: tained an elaborate suite of'effices in the Gluek building, where the Nash improvement company is locatea. He was ostensibly married to Miss Louise Green; and supposedly lived on Niaga ra avenue, at Suspension Bridge, N.Y. He has been leading this double life, it is charged, since September, 1900. Affidavits have been made to show that he, as Kappelle, inveigled vari: ous men into investing money in the Nath improvement company. It appears that this dual personal ity has also been used in other cities. In Rochester, Olean, and Batavia he has been known as King and address ed as such. In" Detroit, Cleveland, and other cities he has been called: by Kapnelle, his right name. The warrant for his arrest was sworn ont before justice Horn, of Niagara Falls, by George F, Green, charging the ob taining of a $3,500 mortgage through false representations. This mortgage King is, said to have sold for $3,000 to a wealthy woman living in Leck port. It covered a Niagara county farm. MEDICAL RESULTS. Surgery Examinations and the Prizes.
