HOSPITAL ATTENDANTS CHARGED WITH MURDER NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—An examination of the body of James McGuire, formerly a paretic iInmate at the Manhattan Hos- pital on Wards Island, and who died in that institution on Saturday, led to the arrest to-night of four keepers, Thomas Sexton, Patrick Ryan, Daniel O’Connell and Martin White, who may have to answer to a charge of murder. The ar- rests were made on the strength of the report of the Coroner’s physician who conducted the post-mortem and reached the conclusion that McGuire met death by violence. Scarcely a spot cn the dead man’s body { was free from bruises, which apparently were the result, not of -blows from a club | or other instrument. but of pressure from | the knees of the attendants. From his head to his knees deep blue dents were discernible on the flesh. Six of the ribs on the right sidé were broken. The in- testines had broken through the abdom- inal membrane, while the membrane itself had been torn almost to ribbons. The kidneys and liver had been badly bruised and although there was no fracture of the skull there was & large abrasion at the back of the head. 4 McGuire, before bécoming insane, had been a professional strong man and wrestler.

A new feature of the strike was the act | of prominent business men in signing a call for a meeting to be held in the Cham- ber of Commerce building to-morrow night to organize a law and order league to fight the boycott. Sympathy for the strikers has extended to the soldiers who are guarding the property of the street- car company. and to-day, when a com- pany of the Fourth Regiment lined up at the Miles-avenue barns in Newburg, the soldiers gave three cheers for the strik- ers. These were followed by three lusty groans for the non-union men. To-day_the local Brotherhood of Loco-| motive Engineers’ lodge sent a contribu- | | tion of $100 and a letter to the' strikers. In the letter the lodge said the contribu- tion was made because P. M. Arthur. chief of the brotherhood, had advanced | himself in the favor of the company and had ridden on the boycotted cars.

In| it he speclally commends Private Paul Gompers of the Hospital Corps, who was | killed in_action April 25. Major Shields says: “On April 25, dur- ing the advance at the river Bagbag, my | orderly, Private Paul Gompers, was fa- | tally wounded while on the armored car, | a Remington bullet passing through his neck, completely severing the carotid ar- | tery and jugular vein on both sides.

STRIFE OVER A PIANO MAY END IN COURT SAN RAFAEL, Aug. T.—The sensation at Bollnas over the arrest of three prom- inent soclety persons on the charge of | house-breaking, it being alleged that they entered the house of Willlam McGovern and took therefrom a piano, is rivaled in local kchaol circles. Miss Jesste Elliott, the teacher of the San Rafael Kinder- garten, now has a piano which she had carted away from the rooms of the Moth- ers’ Club without the consent of the own- ers, and it is probable that her arrest will | follow. Four years ago a social and temperance | organization existed in this city known | as “The Y's.” The members held enter- tainments and with the money thus ob- | tained purchased a good piano. The club | finally disbanded and at Miss™ Elliott’s | expressed desire placed the instrument In | her hands for safe keeping. For the use.| | of it she agreed to keep it in order, and | | promised to surrender it when a majority | of the members &0 wished. 5 Three weeks ago the members of the | gisbanded club were asked to permit the Mothers’ Club to use the plano at a cer- | tain monthly rental, and concluded so to | | do. Willlam McKenzie, the secretary of i “The Y was sent to Miss Elliott for the piano. She refused at first to sur- | render it, but finally became angry and | sald that if it was not taken out of her house by 9 o'clock the next morning she would take a hatchet and destroy it. An | expressman was sent for the instrument and removed it to the apartments of the | Mothers' Club in the High School build- | ing. Firreo days afterward Miss Elliott sent | another expressman to the High School | building while the janitor was engaged | in cleaning the halls and had_the piano | brought back to her house. Since then | she has refused to relinquish possession of It. McKenzle threatened her with ar- rest, but she remained obdurate.
