NEWVILLE'S VITBOL THBOWEB. A Sad Ce of Domestic Infelicity Is Now on Trial at Carlll. Carlisle, Feb. 8. The Kewville vitrol throwing case occupied the attention of the court for almost the entire day, and has proved to be far more sensational than an ticipated. Cora Frey, a comely woman, aged 24, is on trial for pouring vitrol upon her husband while he was in bed asleep, and the offense is admitted. It is the result of three years domestic infelicity. They were married in Camden, X. J., years ago. They separated and then compromised their diffi culties. In September the husband left home, going to the home of his father. Tnat night she asked her father to take her in, but he refused as he had compro mised the former difficulty. She went at once to Frey's home and asked to stay for the night, and as permitted to room with her husband. That night she asked him to forgive her. He refused, and she then poured into his face an ounce of vitrol she had purchased the evening before He was severely burned, bnt has since recovered. The woman is subject to hysteria, and the defense is that owing to her infirmity and the great provocation, she is not responsible for the rash deed.

The scries of games last night were the best and most exciting since the contest for the cup began two months ago. The grand total of the Lindens exceeds any before made in this particular event. The remarkable scores of Mr. Slocum, oC the' Lindens, and Mr. P.uch, of the Belle fields, were the events of the night's enjoy ment.

In a letter C. D. Kulford, the champion wing shot, says: "This week I close up work and disband for the winter. You know, of course, that at thei-equest or friends I con sentei to shoot a match with Mr. Kleinman, of Chieigo. His friends seem to think that all my shooting hero at the East has been' a fake, and as" much as intimate that the matches have not been stralght.and that tho birds were simply 'peepeis.' Well, I hope tln-y will keep thinking so lomr enough to put up $300 or $1,000 on the result." Mr. Brela ford, of Harrisburg, had arranged lorn spe cial car, and n large p.irty expected to go to Chicago. Brewer had consented to be of the party, and expressed a good deal of pleasm e tit lviving a chance to moat some of tho shooting cracks at Chicago. Theie was nothing from tho Chica.ro shooters.

On July 4 he walked two mile lu 14:2 2-5: on Julv 11, one mile in 6:31, and on July 18, eight miles in 1:1:61-5. These records have, however, to be confirmed by the Records Committee of the A. A.

Cary was timed as doing 10s. for a 100-yard race at a little meeting In the North, and Queckbcrner has shown 'record' achievement in hammer throwing and weight throwing, but in exhibition only. Sponsors for these records may be hard totind, and their rejec tion will not greatly surprise us. BUCK MUST PLAY BALL If Ho Wants to Draw a Fat Salary and Remain in the Clnb. New Yoee, Feb. 8. Special. Buck Ewing is credited with the statement that he thinks he will be able to go behind the bat next season, and that it would be advisable to en gage John Keilly to play first base. If Ewing made the remark, and there seems no reason to doubt its authenticity, it is full of significance, and furnishes strong evidence that the wily Buck i3 laying plans for another season of ease and luxury on tho plaver's bench. There is good ground to believe that Ew ing' will be unable to do the constant and hard throwing required of a catcher, while he might get along at first baso without trouble. As a catcher he would oe of no value to the team whatever, but at first baso the nine would have the constant benefit of his abilities as a field captain and batsman. A well biased opinion exists that Ewing will give full value for his salary next sea son or else retire from the club. The days of drawing a fat salary in return for sitting on a bench are over, so far as the New York club is concerned. A statement has been going the rounds that Ewing'ssalaryis guar anteed. There is no truth in it. Welch is the only player who has that sort of an ar rangement with the club. A Colnmbus Lightweight's Victory. Columbus, Feb. 8.

Sensational Surmises Current as to the Cause of the Tire. TWO OP THE Ilf JUEED GUESTS MAT DIE New Yoke, Feb. 8. One hundred men are at work on the 'debris of tho ruined Hotel Eoyal, and will be kept going night and day until they have completed the work of eleariner away the rubbish, which will probably take about three days. How many bodies will be unearthed before the sickening task is complete, is, of course, not now known. The firemen at 9 o'clock this morning found the sixth body, that of a woman, in a room on the fifth floor of the portion ot the building Btill standing. At 9:20 the seventh body was found. It was that of a man. At 10 o'clock the eighth body was found, also that of a man. Four more bodies were later uncovered by the workmen, but cannot as yet be taken out of the ruins on account of the heavy timbers lying over them. Then the body of a man was taken out. It was charred beyond recognition. It was that of a man fl feet 7 inches in height, about 35 years old, dressed in dark clothes. The face had a dark mustache. A gold 'watch and chain were on the body. On the chain was a Masonic emblem bearing the motto "Love, Truth and Life." Finding; Corpses by Piecemeal. Late in the afternoon the men found a foot in the ruins. At 3:50 o'clock a body was found. It was so badly burned as to be unrecognizable and was sent directly to the morgue. About 6:45 the eleventh body was brought to view. The legs were almost gone, the arms had been burned off and the head was crushed almost to a jelly. In the upper jaw a set of false teeth were iouud which looked like those of a woman. Three of the bodies recovered from the ruins during the morning were taken to the morgue. A deputy coroner came with them to ascertain the cause of death, orders hav ing gone out that all bodies should be brought to the morgue and identified there so that no confusion would result. Body No. 1, that of a man with arms across his breast and bowed head, as if to protect his face, was the first examined. He had evidently made a desperate effort to escape, as he had hurriedly dressel himself in trousers and vest, not stopping to remove his night robe, which he still wore. His identification was soon made complete. He was A A. Townsend, a retired coal dealer of New Haven, Conn., who came on here from "Washington, D. C, last Saturday. Cariosity Seekers Turned Dsck. By this time the number of persons seek ing information or prompted by curiosity to visit the dead house, which was rapidly piling up with horrors, had increased to a mob. It was an orderly mob, however, and the officials had but little trouble in de tecting the real inquirers from the bogus and ejecting the latter from the premises. The voung woman who was taken to the New York hospital, suflering from .a frac ture of the base of the skull, internal in juries and burns, is said to be Etta Green, iormerly a cashier at the Sturtevant House. She is not expected to recover. Mrs. "W. Lockard, of this city, who is suffering from internal injuries, is in a critical condition at the Geddes House. All the others res cued from the hotel, suffering from burns or other injuries, are said to be doing, well. From a careful examination of the hotel register and journal, the number of persons in the building when the fire broke out was lot. Ui these, 11 are known to be dead. Eighty-one were rescued before the walls collapsed, and the others are missing. The Possiblo Origin or the Fire. Victor Follerin, a waiter, who worked in the Hotel Kayal tome time ago, gave, in an interview to-day, some interesting facts thatv may throw some lightou the origin ot the fire. He said that while he was working there if was the habit lor rubbish to accumu late in one corner of the kitchen. The pile of rubbish, on three different occasions, caught fire, but was quickly extinguished by pails of water. Follerin believes that it was here the fire originated. This morning it is also learned on good authority that Herbert Harding, the fire man of the hotel, who first discovered the fire, fought the flames 15 minutes before he raised the alarm. It is now said that he has confided this fact to a friend, and by the friend's indiscretion some of Inspector Byrne's men have learned the fact and are investigating. One of the scrub women at the hotel also made a startling statement. She said that at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, when she left the hotel'to go across the street to sleep, Harding was drunk. Night Clerk Under wood denied this story. when it was repeated to him. He said Harding was a steady man and quite sober on Saturday night. Other Stories About the Cause. The chef of the hotel said that one of his cooks may have left the grease pot on the stove, and that may have boiled over. The burning fat, in that event, could have set fire to the floor or wall or blazed up to the ceiling. The fire may have started in this way. Harding is positive that his furnace and boiler were in good order, and that no burnine coals escaped. .The boiler blew f up an hour and a half after the fire broke out. It was common gossip Among the servants that Night Clerk TJnderwood was asleep at the time ot the fire. The scrub women said that he generally was asleep at that hour in the morning. No ono could be found to verify this report. Victims Who Are Still Living. 'The following is a corrected list of the in jured: , J. E. Avery, New York: left hand burned. W. C.
