[ * - 3 +: BLACK sh New , York Boy Cuts the 'Throats of eo <eiave. Poraonn. ~ A despatch from New York says: A Sixtcen-year-okl boy known only as Carmelo and employed in a barber shop in Brooklyn, early on Wednesday cut the throats of his employer, Antonio 'Peraso, Mrs. Peraso and three barbers, while they lay asleep in Peraso's apart- ment at 107 Fulton street. The wounds of Perase and his wife are believed to be mortal, while those of the barbers are serious, but probably not fatal. The boy escaped, i The police have a theory that the boy was an agent of a Black Hand gang Which had been demanding money of Peraso under threat of doing him in- jury, and that the blackmailers placed the boy in the shop in order to punish Peraso for his refusal to Satisfy their demands, Carmello used a pair of scissors and Q razor in his attack upon the barber and his employes. Frank Stranno, Michael RebentO and Joseph Macero, the three barbers, were first attacked by the boy, Strafino was awakened from his sleep by a stab in the neck, and -before he cculd resist the boy drew a razor across his throat, inflicting a severe wound. He was still conscious and saw the boy as he crept to the Ledste of Rebento and Macero and cut their throats while they sept. i Peraso, who with his wife was asleep in an adjoining room, was awakened by a stab wound in his neck and en- gaged the boy in a desperate strugg'e. He was unarmed, and 'the boy, clutch- ing @ razor in his hand, slashed his employer several times about the face, weck and hands. The fight was going against the barber when his three as- sistants staggered into the room and at- tacked the boy. Together they drove him from the rooms into the street and summoned assistance. It was then found that Mrs. Peraso's throat had been cut and that she was lying in bed only partiatly conscious while the fight with the boy was in progress, LEADING MARKETS BREADSTUFFS., Toronto, May 12.--Manitoba Wheat-- No. 1 Northern, $L.193¢ No. 2, $1.15%4: No. 3, $1.10; feed wheal, 66; No. 2 feed, 60c, Georgian Bay ports.

CATTLE MARKET. Toronto, May 12--There was not more than a couple of loads of export cattle. Some of these sold up to $6, and one or two af even more-than that. Choice heavy export bulls in several instances sold at $5. There were a very few choice specimens of butchers' cattle, which sold as high as $6, but the great rnajority could not be classified as bet- fer than medium quality. There is a strong demand for cows and bulls for butchering purposes, and the price of some of the best of these approached $5, while anything that sold at less than $3 was of very poor qua- lily. Even canners were higher at $1.- 50 to $2.50. Not many stockers were offered and the demand continues steady, but prices &re not advanced.

A despatch from: London Soys: The budget was presented in the House 4° Commons on Thursday by Mr. H. H.

Never before has Paris so persistently declared that. the season's fashionable costumes shall be of -silk.

Reefer coats accompany most. of the smartest of the mohair and pongee skirts of the utility type, and are certain to win favor with slight women 'who gaze enviously after those to whom the natty cutaways are so becoming. The yogue for pale soft doye and mist gray, with brilliant splashes. of color, such as are supplied by embroi- dery of almost oriental. magnificence, will be pre-eminent, The alliance of slate gray was parsley green will also be in high favor. There is a demand for the seperate coat; this on account of the many odd silk dresses worn. It seems strange to think of the separate coat as a cule | away model, but this is the smartest} shape: it is really tremendously becom- ing, worn over an odd skirt. All white dresses promise to. ke more fash'onable than eyer. The finer g of mull are elaborately trimme insertion of all widths, possibly four or five different widths appearing in one skirt, often alfernately placed with me- dailion insertion, Faced cloths are more beautiful than aver, soft, fine, and finished with a Saliny surface that gives an added and sheen, for all these cloths are re- quired 'or draping purposes and must be of the finest quality.

The bird of wisdom is still persona grata in the halls of fashion, and owl heads, cleverly fashioned wth straw or worked out in jet beads w.th gleaming ruby cyes are playing their part in the scheme of attire, the latest examp'e be- ing carried out in brown with while speckled straw. Straw is playing so many different roles in the scheme of new headgear as to render not a few of the models independent of any extra adornment, immense straw rosettes taking the place the feather and marabout pompons and being designed in two or three dif ferent tones of the color with signal SUCCESS. va On.
