Decision in Appellate Diyision on Nor- Savr-'YerKins at tlie House. Moniiicello, May B?.—In her testi- tham insurance Case, The appellate division Tuesday •mony Tuesday in the trial of Mrs. landed down its decision in th e case Kate Taylor, charged with the murder, °| £ 0U1S If. Northam, as assignee of of her husband, Ida May DeKoy.l Vy™nee <*• tfortham, respondent, vs. daughter .of the accused, charged her | Dutchess County Mutual Insurance uncle, Peter Terldns, with being at company, of Pcraghkeepsie, N. Y., ap- the Taylor house the night that ka-lpellant. The order of special term is layette Taylor was murdered. She modified by striking' out the special -was ashed by District Attorney An- .dersoii to tell \what you saw.\ She said': \I was i n bed and was •awakened by a shot. I got tip and •went into the next room and saw lafe 'Taylor holding the door leading to *he kitchen with one hand and toying to pull on his boots with one. I went through the door into th e kitchen and saw my mother trying to get the door, •open aaid get at Lafe. I went out on the stoop for a few minutes. When I returned I heard a second shot in the kitchen and went in and saw my father's body on the floor with my mother standing over it with a revol- ver in her hand trying - to fire it :again.\ She said Mrs. Taylor reloaded th e revolver and placed it in a stand -drawer. Mrs. Taylor took some old ^oats, put them under Taylor's head •and grabbed an axe and cut the head off and put it i n the stove. Kate Tay- lor then rushed to the stoop, grabbed =a lighted lantern and swung it around tfhree times and came back into the liouse. -•• ... • Peter Yerkins then came into the house and asked if Lafe was dead. Mrs. Taylor answered yes. Mrs. Taylor again took the axe and iried to cut off one of Taylor's legs; -then laid the axe down before she had •succeeded. Yerkins then took th e raxe and finished cutting- off the leg. ' Ida May went to bed and elilt Yer- Idns and her mother together with -the body. When she awakened the \next morning Yerkins had disap^ geared and her mother was still burn 3ng the body. Sh e did not think her another had slept during the night. Mrs. Taylor cu t up th e trunk of the body and put it in a cloth sack and jjlaced the sack in a wash tub, which 'was put i n the cellar. Mrs. Taylor •took the ashes and bones from the stove and pounded up the bones and fed them to the chickens. The skull was not burned and i t was brought back to the house and put i n the stove again. The prosecution then rested and the defense began the cross examination. A 'TOUGH LUCK OT. .DISASTER, ALWAYS OVERTOOK ITS ILL-FATED POSSESSOR. sum imposed as a condition of the amendment and i n lieu thereof provid- ing that plaintiff -pay all costs and disbursements of the defendant, to be taxed by th e cleric of Jefferson coun- ty; the amended complaint to be served and costs paid within 30 days from the service of a copy of this or- der with notice of entry thereof, and in case of the failure of the plaintiff to so serve said amended complaint and pay said costs, hi s motion is denied with $10 costs. The order as so modified is affirmed with $10 costs and disbursements to the appellant, The appeal was from an order made by Justice M. L. Wright compelling the plaintiff to pay costs in th e sum of $S0 and on payment of such co^ts allowing him to serve an amended complaint to meet the requirements of the court of appeals as expressed in an opinion handed down some time ago,, reversing- the case which up to this time had been a victory for the plaintiff. By the decision of the ap- pellate division it appears that the plaintiff must pay all costs incurred to date before the defendant will be obliged to accept the plaintiff's com- plaint. ' • .. J ,;»_..<. • The action was brought to recover on a policy of $2,000 held by Wallace G. Rortham, one-hr.lf of which was on the Stony Island Inn at Stony Island and the other half on the contents of the hotel. The hotel burned Sept. 3, 1S9S. The defense was that the policy was invalidated,, by reason of the change of title from Wallace G. Northam to Louis 1ST. Northam with- out proper notice.

If you ppssess a Columbian half dol- lar, if yo u have been carefully pocket- ing it as a souvenir and can look back over a trail of inconceivable hard luck, then rid yourself of the coin and witness your rise into a normal condition of life. For in its time—and' the story told in the New York Times is backed by the words of men who know—it has killed the hopes of many men and destroyed the lives of at least two. There is in this tale no fabric of super- stition. Facts do not deceive. To \see with one's own eyes\ is to know. The writer is one who has suffered. In 1892 there had been a little game in a little club in the city of Pittsburg. \Charley\ McSwiggan, until recently press representative of the Carnegie Steel corporation, invariably took a hand. For weeks he was invincible. Nightly did h e clean the table, stake his friends with car fare, and then bolt foi an all-night conveyance to his suburban home. In time McSwiggan's affluence induced him to journey east for a rest He came to New York, it was during the year preceding the Chicago fair. One day, when passing the subtreasury. he entered and availed himself of a shin- ing Columbian half dollar. McSwiggan's dairy shows that from that minute his god of good fortune de- serted him. He went to the Sheepshead track. The \bookies\ hit him hard. He rode o n a Broadway car, and a pick- pocket pumped him dry. He boarded a train for Pittsburg with a railroad tick- et, a pain racking hunger, and his Co- lumbian half dollar. The \boys\ were glad to have Mc- Swiggan return, but sorry to learn that he had left all his money in the metrop- olis. While he had been away they had been preparing for a vigorous attack. They had to wait several -weeks, how- ever, until he pulled himself together. Then he \sat in.\ McSwiggan was now th e \easiest money\ they had ever known. He THE St. LAWRENCE I0AT CRIPPLED ON THE ST. LAWRENCE FRED FITCH, OF ALEXANDRIA BAY THE UNFORTUNATE VICTIM. Alexandria Bay , May 87.~I\el Fitch, aged 36, a p'-imber emplojel by Henry Hartman. was drowned in mid-stream while ••••liiing- from St. Elmo Island tward Alexandria Hay at 11:35 Wednesday. The accident was a peculiar one, in thut had Mr. Fhch remained in bis bout his life wmi'd •undoubtedly have- Wii saved. Mr. Fitch was cro-,-iiig the river in a \put-put.\ The Cauadian steamer Persia was passing down the rhei', and the supposition is that he was working at the naphtha and did not see or hear the Persia until it was upon him, Evidently, when he did see the large boat he was o n her quarter and becoming frightened, jumped into the water. • The swell from the Persia turned the launch around, but did not strike it. This left Mr. Pitch in the river with no means of support, while the napntha retained its speed and kept on g-oing across. A naphtha and a row b( at at once put out from this place and the row boat got within ten feet of Mr, Fitch when he disappeared beneath the surface. The Persia, it is claimed, did not give any warning of its approach un- til just before Fitch jumped oier- board, when it blew twice. After passing the small one it blew several whistles and continued down the ri\ er without stopping. Tlie body has not yet been recovered, althougii a search is being made with grapples. The deceased is survived by a wif OVER 50 0 PASSENGERS THROWN INTO A PANIC, Oyiii ii-burg, May ~T.— I'hc l,u;.<\-\ d ainl fifty pa.*engei-s aboard llu- >:e:inier Mary of the Hi'er line, w-re tliiinvn into a panie late Tup-day nf- Tei-uouii by an awir'enf tu tin- \i-.-s'l MliicU rendered her helple^ hi t!,e St. Lawri-m-i. river a short distance f.om l iti-dhial, Ont, The steamer was conveying a Vic- toria day excursion party from Mnr- rihburg, Ont., to this eily, and had reached a point tw o miles from Car- dinal when a coupling broke. The s-hip was at once out of commission and drifted at will in the s,wift cur- rent of th e river. The hundreds of pleasure seekers were much fright- ened by the accident, but were assured by the captain and crew of the steam- er that there was no danger. Distress signals were displayed by the drifting vessel and i n a short time the steamer Cresco of the River line in command of Captain William Bryan went to th e assistance of her sister ship. A line was attached to the Mary ami she was towed safely to this city. The Mary was towed to Waddington by the Cresco Tuesday night, the ex- cursionists returning to their homes by another steamer of the same line. The Mary is a wooden steamer, 6'-i tons burden, and was built at Port Huron, Mich., in 1SU7. She was re- built in 1901. She i s owned by Captain Ilalcli of Waddington, who purchased her of Larkin &\Co. of Sai-nia, Out., two N ears ago. T m& JEFirBjaaaK COUNTY Savings Bank WATEKTUWN, N. Y. S?

Y., Tile Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks of His Methods and the Practice as It Was Forty Years-Ago. The practice of medicine forty years ago consisted of a pair of saddlebags ailed with tin boxes containing calo- mel, pink and senna and a lancet.- They tried in their routine all the remedies mentioned above and' as a final effort used the lancet to bleed the poor victim. There was no way of getting at a correct diagnosis. They are ye t in th e dark, and have found' no sure way t o base an opinion on the cause and nature of a disease. The old waj-s are entirely wiped out and in their places have come all the electrical appliances, the X-ray, also the microscope, giving a better in- sight'of the cause and nature of what they have to treat. Dr. Butterfield has established th e power and tru'th of spiritual insight and has diagnosed thousands of cases and cured them. There is no gnin- S«ying th e truth of clairvoyancy, by its power he has restored thousands of people who were considered incurable. His g-reat work has been to educate people how t o take care of themselves, and to keep from being sick, infusing into his patients a better hope and a more cheerful view of life. He is very successful in treating in- flammaition of the stomach, enlarge- ment of th e liver, weaknesses in the kidneys and bladder, also chronic troubles of urinary and generative or- gans, paralysis, rheumatic troubles, in Eact all forms of chronic diseases, The doctor has been in the work many years; he can give the patient the benefit of a wide experience.

Finally lie said lie' ib3<3 lost faith in his mascot. He plaj ed it lit: Presto! He picked up instantly. tU redeemed the half dollar and carried- if away. Tlie next time he played he got do*s to low water again, and in went the Co- lumbian coin. Once more bis luck came back. And so, night after night, Mc- Swiggan lost, parted from his mascot, and then redeemed it. It dawned upon him that the coin always marked the turning point, and he finally abandoned it to the banker. Harvey Reese, another of the group, came into possession of it. Finding it a \jonah he cast it away. Al l around the table it went. Every man who got it fell under its influence. It was consigned to the chip box, where it remained foi weeks. A little later Coroner Heber McDowell came into possession of the coin. II had been found in the pocket of an old man named Jope, who had been murdered, beaten to death, in the cellar of the First Avenue hotel. \Mickey\ Hughes, dealer ft Connol- ly's gambling house, had appropriated the coin for a souvenir, but unknow- ingly had passed it over the First Ave- nut bar. Jope, who was the cashier of the hotel, also ha<; appropriated the coin upon finding it in^he cash register. \I know the history of this coin,\ said Coroner McDowell aftw the inquest to a group of reporters and loungers in his office. \I am going to put it in this drawer, and any person with a reckless disregard for life can cart it away,\ For weeks the coin remained undis- turbed. One day an old man who had haunted th e coroner's office seeking Jur?' duty was found dead in the hack room of a saloon. That day the coin was missed. It was never traced.
