PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-A terrible wife
murder, most rcvolting in its details, was added
this afternoon to the list of atrocious crimes
which have occurred in this city recently OF
which women we're the victims. In this case the
victim WIS Mrs Ann O'Sullivan, the mother Of
eight children, the oldest being 16 years and the
Youngest u months. The murderer, Dennis
O'Sullivan, is halter BY trade, and lives
on Leithgow street. Both husband: aud
wife have been intemperate at times, and have
quarrelled considerably. His wife had had him
arrested several times. On Wednesday night
he was arrested and locked up for grossly
Indecent Language and behavior toward the wife
of neighbor. He got bail. O'Sulliyan came
nome between and o'clock this afternoon,
and, after borrowing razor from the
man living next door, went upstairs to
shave. He put . a clean white shirt,
and when he had shaved ono side Of his face (hs
wears large dark auburn moustache and chin
whiskers) he went down into the kitchen where
bis wife was and asked her for towel. Sne
picked up towel and threw it ut him in spite
full way. He insisted that she should hand
him the towel like. lady. She would
not. Angry words ensued. osnllivan
went back upstairs, and from q
bureau drawer got an old, dull razor full Of
hicks. He returned to tho kitchen, seized his
wife'b the hair, aud cut her throat, making n
wound several inches long and severinS tue
iueular vein. He also cut terrible gashes across
Inc left arm above the elbo~, and across the
right arm below the elbow, LAYING open the flesh
to the bone. This is the murderer's o"n story.
No one was present except him and nis
victim. The woman broke away from him anu
ran into the back alley. CRYING 'A1nrder' she
soon sank to the ground from loss Of blood.
Her cries were heard by Mr. john Werner, who

RAPID TRANSIT FOR CHICAGO.
IT. thr Editor Of The Tribune,

CHICAGO, June 2l.-There appears IN your is
sue OF this day synopsis Of an article from the
Rait,cay AQe on this subject, said to have been
written BY an "Ene1neer." I have belonged to
that fraternity myself since 1887, and located
forty-fve miles OF the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy Railroad in 1859.
There appears to be band Of Paganini min
strcls, issuing serial notes on this subject, all
plaYed on one string. At any rate, / have read
several articles lately, all telling the SANS story
The following points are ATTEMPTED to be estab-
1ished:
N. "That the number Of passengers carried by
the street railways in New York from 1878 to
1877, was 7saoooooo, against l6o'oo'ooo in
,Ch1cago."' ..-
I doubt the correctness Of the latter figures !;
but il true, what has that to do with the
s.future" Of Chicago, or the large increase to
be expected when passengers can DC taken over
the same grouud in about ouersixth OF the l1me
now consumed! r. -
Ri 1That New York is built compactly, upon
long aud narrow island, with dense Dopula-
ton; while Chicago is spread over vast areas OF
uuoccupied territory"
Yes, but New York has now four elevated
railways, running only two blocks apart, on her
narrow strip, and another one just proposed
aud sure to be built Cannot Chicago, with
nearly half the population Of New York, now
sustain one trunk line elevated railway over her
strip between the river and the lake On the
South Side, one on her strip on the North Side,
and one on the West Side, to say nothing Of
the great possibilities Of her future growtht ::
Gl "That the Chicago River divides this city
into three portions, nnd is d great and growing
impeachment to communication between the
three divisions OF the city,"
bid it never occur TO an " Engineer' ~ that
it is quite possible to remove this i'm
pedinen1 entire1y3 Suppose. nov, that
the three elevated railway companies
now organized :. sh6nld unite in .
the one leading south to start off on the usual
elevation, but the North Side and the West
Side roads to commence in tunnels, run under
the river, ascend On the other shore, and then
monnt up on their arches and speed. away to
destination. What is TO prevent the Chicago &
Evanston Elevated Railway, for instance, when
30 constructed, from conveying passengers to

NEW York. June 21.-The Assembly investi-
gators Of railway systems continued their e1-
animation OF Commissioner Fink to-day.
Chauncey N. Depcw. OF the Central, and MFR.
Blanchard, OF Erie, did the questioning, and sue
ceeded in 1esscnlng the force of the evidence
previously adduced bS Mr.. sterne against the
railroads and their managem ent. Mr.. Fink,
after giving the all-raii rates to Chicago, said
that Of the 10 cents per 100 pounds for fourth
class freight the Central got 4B per cent for
its haul to Buffalo. Anything less than
Il cents for that haul would involve loss
to the railroad. as would anything less
than Is cents to New York from Chicago. The
cutting OF rates was, as rule, very injurious
to public interests as we'll as to railways, and
railways being such large corporations, md hay-
ing very lnrge crcdits, we're frequently bankrupt
before they knew It. They might be more dan
gerous rivals to other roads as broken than as
solvent roads By carrying freight at fates that
only paid operating expenses: III There sn"as was
On fourth-class freight from Boston to
Chicago in favor OF the Grand Trunk, but
1t was offset to the shipper by the
time occupied, higher: rate OF INSURANCE. and
other disadvantages. So far as the public are
concerned the rates were the same, else the
Grand Trunk would carry all the west-bound
freights from Boston. The Grand Trunk Road
was not insoivent, but its shareholders get no
dividends at present. He thought it would be
wise to follow the English custom by dividing
hauls. Commissioner Fink said the expenses OF
his office, including hts own salary, were about
5000 month. He had no power to make OF
change rates except as authorized BY the 1ouf
trunk lines. The relations Of tile railroads and
public and their interests were always taken into
