After he had beer overpowered by Miss Muller Deffler committed suicide. For thirty years Deffler had kept a saloon in Passaic, N. J. Recently he erected a frame house in Wallington and then endeavored to obtain a leense to operate a saloon there, This was refused him and then Deffler took tu drinking and spent his money right and left. His wife finally told him to keep away from the hotse and he went to livé in Guttenburg. Yesterday he pur- chased a revolver in Passaic and then called on Mrs. Deffler; who barricaded herself in the bullding With her daugh- ter. All day Defer staggered about in the neighborhood vowing he would kill his wife. In the evening he broke into the place and chased Mrs, Deffler and Miss Muller into a back room. There he fired a bullet at the older woman, Wounding her in the leg. Then Miss Muller sprang forward and selzed the muzzle of the revolver. She eiruggled all over the room with him, breaking chairs and window panes. Defller finally fell to the floor in a heap and Miss Muller rushed out of the room with her mother. A few moments later they heard another pletol shot and when the police broke into the room Where Deffler was they found him dyad with a bullet wound over “his ear L felt that I would surely be killed," said Miss Muller to-day. “But when he fired one shot at mother I didn't care what happened to me.

WAR OFFICE DENIES BRITISH DISASTER, Dewpatch Published In Paris Had Announced Another Mad Mullah Victory. LONDON, June 2.—The clty was thrown into a state of dismay recalling the early days of the Boer war by\a Gespatch from Paris announcing the re. celpt there of a special from Jibutil, Abyssinia, telling of a crushing British reverse in Somaliland. But shortly after the publication of the Paris des patch the War Office announced the r ceipt of a telegram from Gen, Man- ning, {n command in Somaliland, flatly contradicting the French report. According to the version sent out from the French capital the Mad Mullah was aid to have destroyed the fine British nosts between Burao and Bohotle, kill- ing #thirty-nine out of the forty-two British officers and ‘capturing two thou- sand native soldiers. Gen. Manning's dispatch was dated June 2% and announced his arrival at Bohotle unopposed, He captured a num- ber of Mullah’s camels and sheep on the way. The General said the Mullah, with his fighting men, had crossed the British line of communications, half way between Damot and Bohotle. The Mullah's move was due to the British hold on the Mudug district and to th pressure of the Abyesiaiang, who, a ais ia aaa aN V SALLY RT PT TT LOUISE MULLER, PLUCKY GIRL WHO SAVED HER MOTHER FROM A MURDER.

An iceman was probably fatally in- fured to-day by falling six stories to the basement of the Equftable Life As- surance Society Building, at No. 120 Broadway. He was Frank Samiacott, twenty-three years old, of No. 410 Weat Twelfth street, employed by the Mer- chants’ Union Ice Company. Samiscott had finished delivering aev- eral tons of ice in the kitchen of the Savarin Cafe, on the sixth floor of the Equitable Butlding, and as usual had eaten hig breakfast there. He sat on the landing by the elevator shaft for a time talking with one of the chefs and a walter. These"two wero called away and when they returned Saml- scott was missing. A few minutes later one of the em- ployees of the cafe found the tcemaa's body at the bottom af thevdumb waiter shaft. Policeman Syperrek, of the Old Glip station, was called, and he sum- moned. an ambulance from Hudson Street Hospital. The doctor did not ex- pect Samiscott to live through the journey to the hospital. He had appar- ently received a fracture of the skull Land concussion of the brain, in addition ‘to injuries in other parts of the body. According to the waiters at the Sav- arin, Samigcott did not seem to be in his usual good humor this morning, al- though no particular attention was paid to him. There were no witnesses of the accident. Detective O'Neill of the Old Slip station, was assigned to hunt for them, but could get no information, WOMAN IN JAIL ON CHARGE OF MURDER Nunziata Caruso, Accused of Stabbing Her Sweetheart, Returns to This City and Is Promptly Arrested.

Old Clinton Market, which long since outlived {ts usefulness, is to be demolished to make way for the city’s new garden spot. ‘A handsome two-story terra cotta structure covering the entire block be- tween Canal, Spring, Washington and ‘West streets, covering an area of 34,800 square feet, will be erected. , Mayor Low has seen the plans ‘end / drawings of the new flower mart and will present the matter at the next meeting of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment.

Occupying valuable city space, the Em- gineer reported that Clinton Market was a public eyesore. Alderman Regt- rald 8. Doull was recently approached by a delegation of women who urged that the old market be turned into a flower market. ‘The idea was ai once approved. Flower dealers from sections outside the metropolitan district and In Manhattan a well were enthusiastic over the plan and agreed at an informal meeting to co-operate with the city aathorities in making a permanent city flower mart a successful and attractive enterprise. ‘There will be a cold storage plant, and show windows in which all varie: ties of flowers and plants may be dis played. The market will be kept open at all times, so that flowers may be purchased at any hour, At present flower dealers have the privilege of wull- ing plants on a section of Union Squa from midnight untfl 7 A, M.

Samuel J. Parks, the re-elected Walk- ing Delegate of theHousesmiths' Uaion, was the leader of the opposition. He protested with his usual vehemence against any concession belng made to the contractors. He said that public ne- cessity cut no figure.
