Armee, not far ; from; the- Russian, here the tragedy occurred, ' ;;' The developments of the true in wardness of the mvstery were fol: fowed with eager interest by: the public today, and brought forward many who had ' known Mrs . Gore here and in America, and from them her atticedents were fullxQbtained. It developed also that she had been a pupil bf ; the famous cpnjpose Maszkowski, , while" :" De Rydzewski was a pupil of Jean la Sal.ie,- the baritone of the Grand 'Opera. The police branch of tb& mystery seem-, ingly remains undeveloped, and no futher light has been thrown-on the causes that led to the tragedy or the circumstances attending its en actment. ' An autopsy was held to day by Dr Socquet, and resulted in a for mal report that the. cause of her death was a bullet wound. Counsel General Gowdy assigned a member of his staff to attend , the" autopsy and take notes of the couditions of the body;" That official reported that the bullet entered the forehead above the left eye and . went clear through the head. The bullet was not fouhd. The Prefect of Polite designated Gas tine Rennette, the expert armorer, to study the wea pon, and wound for the purpose of determining the possibility of sui cided "V Although many friends of; Mrs Goto called on Mr ' Gowdy, none claimed the body and late in the day . cabled - Attorney Butler, . of Mexico City, asking as to its di sposal. . . .The most circumstantial account concerning Mrs Gore was furnished by .Vincent Toledo, director ' of a leading piano establishment in the Avenue de l'Opera. He says she was introduced to him by let ter's from musical friends in New York. She appeared to him most charming and vivacious and devo ted to music. " She received all her mail at a private address. She traveled in the early summer over Europe and took lessons in Vienna from a leading master. Returning last August she asked to be rec ommended to a master of the high est rankd Moszkowski was chosen She studied with great ardor - and took part in a number of musicals. Last Tuesday she accepted an in vitation to the opera 10m M Toledo for last night, and he was horrified, on going for her, tp find her ; dead. M Moszkowski on being intervi ewed "said: :" .' " I cannot believe Mrs Gore has committed 6uicide. She was one of the -happiest dispositions; I never saw the least evidence' of melancholy. - She was deeply inter ested in her work, and ' had such promises of a musician I It was her purpose, after.completing her mu- eical education, to return to Amer lea.;; She inquired of me -: recently it X thought she would make an ex- eellent professional.

Gypsy, the big elephant belonging to a circus and which injured its keeper in Winter quarters in Chicago several years ago went crazy six miles from Val dpsta today, and killed her keeper James O'Rouke. . ..The circus train had been in a wreck early in, the day when several ; of the animal cars were wrecked and two or' three horses tilled. Gypsy was in a high ly nervous state when the train fin ally pulled out for Valdosta,..; the next show ; point. Six miles out from that town, Gypsy became so noisy and restless ' that she was tied and the train stopped to try to quiet her.5- Immediately , the mad brute attacked, the man and crushed bis life out against the side of : the car. O'Rouke for somev reason did not close the door of the car after him, so after " killing, her keeper Gypsy escaped to the wqods.

The worst class scrap in the history "of the State University raged all night. Several students were injured, property loss approximating $700 resulted and the local police were rooted. " The fight started at the freshman dance in the Imperial Hotel dining-room when a sophomore threwa skunk through the window. Others bombarded the hotel .with eggs, broke much plate glass and demol ished costly bric-a-brac. The freshmen retaliated and ,a sangui nary struggle commenced. -Policemen clubbed J H King " and W M tKaller,' medical students inflintincr severe wounds, when other medical students assaulted aud : routed the officers. Numerous revolver shots were fired, but none is believed to have taken effect. Although sev eral students were hurt their injuries consisted simply of ; contusions. Dean Curran has ordered an inves tigation. ' , . ' . Forest Grove Nov. 21. II T Buxton has sold hie farm of 140 acres, I5 miles north of this place, to Henry Hannan for $3650. Mr Hanna's profit, from lo acres of hops was safficent to bny the farm. Scran ton, was imuiediaUUy feuum ed when the anthracite strike com mission met today. . He said that the occupation of a miner subjects a man to pleurisy, gout, neuralgia, asthma, bronchitis, sciatica and other diseases. ; He believed that the day would come - when men will be suVjscted to examination oetore tney unaertaKe mining. Children, he said who have suffered from any form of disease of the res piratory passage; ' bronchitis"1 or pneumonia, snouia never be per mitted in the mines under loyears, because they should have a chance to eliminate the predisposing factor in the case of so-called Miners' asthma. -U ' -' : ; Dr Gibbons then described the surface indications of miners' asth ma, his testimony in tbi3 respect not differing essentially from that by other expert witnesses; On fur ther examination Dr Gibbons said he did not mean to be understood as saying that miners form, an un healthy class; but that they are de bilitated and run down. He spoke of the necessity for improving am bulance : service : at : the different collieries. - s ' : ; ' : - r The witness waaV cross-examined by James H Torrey, for the . Dale ware & Hudeon Company. In re ply to a question Dr Gibbon& said he did not believe there was an ambulance in the entire coal region which has sterile blankets or were themselves sterile..; . ; " "In fact,'! said the doctor "they are a bunch of infection. Every ambulance carries death and dis ease toevery unfortunate miner who is placed in it." Dr Gibbons was followed by Dr Eugene J Butler, a member of the CentralPoor Board of Luzerne Co unty, who testified that 70 per cent 01 those in one of the poorhouees of Liuzerne County were miners, and that 40 per cent were crippled by accident in and about the mines. Many of these.he said, had become ir sane through worry over their affliction. A man who works a few years as a miner, : he declared, is not fit for anything else, -v T " ' ;A : H McClintock, representing the Lehigh &: Wilkesbarre Coal Company, cross-examined the - wit. ness, and asked if it was' not true that a large number of professional men and merchants in Wilkesbarre were men whose fathers and grand fathers had been employed in' the mines.' - -,-v.;';' . - ' ;"lf that is so," the witness replied "the fathers and grandfathers were the fellows who got , out in time. They were not men who worked for 20 or 25 .years in the mines.'? Dr Butler was excused, and Rev. Dr Roberts was called to the stand bis examination being conducted by Mr Darrow, for the mineowners. He reiterated his belief expressed in his books that an intelligent and persistent comoirsation among mi? nrej for the maiotenauce of prices and rates of wages would secure a just share of the profits of the wor kers. ' ' ' - In answer to CommiastonerCiark Dr Roberts defined the use of the words "anthracite syndicate" in m nis dook Dy saying he had rea ched the conclusion that there was an understanding among the oper ators to adjust the prices and reg ulate the trade. This conclusion he had reached from personal in vestigation. - . After reading extracts from an article in a magazine snpposed to have been written by - Dr Roberts, Mr Darrow asked what - was the temper of both parties- during the three months of -strike. The wit ness replied that it was a condition of war, and that - both sides t were intemperate. Dr Roberts in reply to a question as to what wages a man should receive to man tain the Am erican standard of living, said he would place the poverty line at $575 per annum. Under that amount, he said, the miner and his family tU 6 e: P g' T h ra hi ud CO St ud m ventured; to my plantation anoT tund it buried beneath 10 "feet of atehes, mud and sand. .
