Woman Murdered.

PITTSBURGH, February 2i-This
evening Elmer Gould, very hard
character, went to No. %, Grant
street, disreputable house, and
called Mollie Collins, an inmate OF
the house, into the hall. Five min
utos later q shot was heard, and
Gould ran out the front door, while
the Collins girl staggered back into
the room, saying she was shot. The
ball entered her head near the left
ear, and made a wound that the
physicians say is fatal. Gould has
been quarreling with the girl several
days, being jealous of her. The
still is at large.

The Detroit Free Press says: The

the Hooking Valley system of roads
by the Cleveland syndicate is looked
into, the greater its magnitude be-
comes evident. Its scope is far great
err than a mere railroad consolidation,
and it has very much the appearance
Of the birth of a coal monopoly riv-
aling in importance and power the
Standard oil monopoly, and only sec.
ond 10 it because the coal fields Of
this continent are larger and more
scattered than the oil producing re-
gions, and therefore more difficult to
bring under one management. This
syndicate will control, as soon as the
sale now agreed upon is perfected,
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton, the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati and Indianapolis, (known as
the Bee Line), the New York, Penn

ticket and a Democratic legislature
Substantially the same prediction is
made by each Democratic leader now
in the city. Every man on the tick

the general opinion is that the Dem.

the lines and making bona fdc sur.

only trouble just now, seems to be,
that our valley will have to be Wild
