Both men worked in the Butterick Publishing Company's place, In Throop avenue, Brooklyn. There is no expla- nation of the shooting except that per- haps Paul was insane, and there is no explanation of the fact why. he should have singled Semmig out for a victim. hind, A moment later a flash of light iMumined the road, there was a loud re- port, and Semmig felt a stinging pain In his back. He staggered to his home and just as he entered the door three more shots rang out and Semmig’s as- sailant dropped dead. Later the body of Paul was found where It had fallen, There were three bullet wounds in his head, A seven- chambered revolver lay by his eide. In Paul's pocket was found a photograph of himself, which bore his name and address, Investigation showed that Paul had left hig home on Feb, 2, and his wife had not seen him since. Mrs. Paul ead her husband told her when he went away that he was going to kill somebody. She said her husband had the delusion that some one was hounding him. ——— HORSE HOLDS UP SCHOOL.

Charity Euchre’ at the Ansonia Hotel Resembled a Bargain- Counter Scene When Game Was Finished, MANY WINNERS GOT LEFT. In the Rush Players Grabbed About Fifty of the Eighty Prizes and Got Away, but Child Crippics Were Benefited. Guests of the new Ansonia Hotel are laughing to-day at the eagerness of 2 thousand women who fought to play charity euchre in the banquet hall yes- terday. The statement that they fought 1s lteral. They fought to get into a room that was Intended for only halt. the number, they fought for places at the tables and they fought for the beau- tiful prizes that were supposed to go to the winners. No riot calls were sent in to the police, but the proprietors of the hotel were not far from that point.

Everybody was a ‘dear’ until the banquet hall was filled and every avall- Bble seat at the tables occupied, Then, with the rush at the doors growing gTeater each moment, the amiable looks begun to vanish from the faces of the members of the “H. P.F." “Won't you please go home, ladies?" pleaded Mra, Erlanger. “Why, how very impudent,” came @ chorus of voices, ‘We paid our money to play euchre.” ‘Wo thought you paid {t for charity,” responded Mrs, Erlanger, but that is where she had made the mistake. When hope of quieting those outside ‘had fled Mrs, Erlanger turned to those already seated at the tables and asked some of them in the name of charity to make room for thelr impatient and per- sistent sisters. Two women got up and went away. That was the signal for a rush. Women in costly gowns pushed and strugeled and fought thelr way through the door in the mad rush to reach the chairs that had been vacated, A stranger in New York might have gain- ed the Idea that this was the first, last and only euchre party that ever hap- pened in New York. When they were not all suocessful they stormed Mrs, Erlanger and de- manded their money back. Of course that couldn't be done and the manage- ment of the hotel was appealed to. The grill room was finally thrown open | & and the overflow meeting was held there. Women Grabbed the Prizes, Affairs ran along quite serencly and the minds of the ladies began to drift back to charity, when the games were over and the distribution of prizes start- ed, There were cighty of them tn all and each of the hundreds of women imagined that something was coming to her. ‘Thirty or more of the souvenirs wore distributed without much confusion, Mrs. J. de ta Montagne taking a bronre | The Telephone is ordered installed by many persons every day.
