New York, Dec. 5.--Harry Ruit, employee of a locomotive works in Paterson, N died -in a hospital | there yesterday, as a result of a prac tical joke played on him by five of his fellow-employees. They were arrested, charged with having caused his death. | It iis alleged that they "blew up' Ruit with a pneumatic air pump having a | pressure of 110 pounds to the inch. [Soon after this the boy's stomach be: {came greatly distended. After several hours of great suffering he died. Wher the ment accused of having caused Ruit's death were arraigned in eourt lin Paterson, the dead boy's father rushed at ene of them, named Dorn, | knocked him down and started to kick him.

The object of this dual arrangement is 'to render the menace of the seizure of the customs and a temporary interruption of President | Castro's financial supplies so formi- dable that the claims of both powers will be taken up and settled. There are rumors in diplomatic circles that the state department at Washington, aft er securing positive pledges from the (ierman government that the Monroe doctriie should be respected and the lebts collected without a permanent occupgtion of anv port or island, has encouraged Britain to adopt similam coercive measures simultaneously, Thi: {action is attributed to the double pur pose of keeping Germany under re- [straint in the enforcement of coercive measures and averting the seizure of the customs compelling the Venezuel | | | an dictator to yield to a demonstra: of the two fleets. | i | A Shocking Kiss.

Only Strenuous Efforts Saved the Challenger--Work on the Boat May Be Retarded as a Result. London, Dec. 5.--Shamrock TIT, Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger for the America's cup, haa a narrow es cape from being burned last night in a fire which did great damage to the Danny's shiphuil ling vards at Dum- barton. Only strenuous efforts saved the challenger, now well advanced in her construction, from destruction. Red hot cinders were blown on the roof. and sides of the shed in which the Shamrock III is now being built. The fire was most fierce' in the fitter's shop, and the wind blew in the direc- tion of the Shamrock's shed, which is only thirty yards distant, for an hour. A special force of men had hard work to safeguard the challen- ger. Eventually the fitters' shop was gutted, but ihe fire was gotten under control. All the material parts of the Shamrock II ave safe, although the construction of the yacht will be de- layed for some time. 4 Shipbuilder Denny said he feared at one time that there was not the slightest hope of saving the challen- ger. The fire was of accidental origin. The damage done to the yards is es- timated at -$100,000, and about 700 workmen will lose their employment by the fire. A correspondent . conveyed the first of the fire to Sir Thomas Lip- who. was much concerned. 'She begun with bad luck early," said Sir Thomas, "Shamrock II started with a bath, and finished with a fine bath when she dropped her news ton, has certainly mast and sails in the Solent. She. too, had'a fire when her sails were all burned. 1 am, of course, thankful that the new challenger has escaped, but I fear that the damage done to the shipyard may seriously retard the work on her: Coronation Lodge.
