MARRY OR DIE.

A Crazy Lover Stabs His Sweetheart.
NEw YoaK, January A.-Mary Alice
Moss was stabbed in the left breast and
arm by her jealous lover, Thos. Fitzgerald.
Miss Moss brothers, Joseph and James, are
lawyers, they told this story OF the case
when Fitzgerald was arraigned at the
Tombs: Fitzgerald and Mary were play
mates and schoolmates as children. The
boy was wild when he grew older, and the
girl tried vainly to influence him against
dissipated companions. Fitzgerald prom
ised to reform, but failed to keep the prom
ise. He was all the time suitor for her
hand, but after several times putting his
professions of reform to trial, she definitely
refused TO marry him. Last week he over.
took her while she was walking in Grand
street alone He renewed his suit, but she
would not listen.
On Sunday night he called at her par.
ents' house. At first she declined to see
him, but he sent word that he had come to
bid her farewell, and she went to the door.
She said afterwards that she noticed that
he looked pale and sullen. 81 want to
sdeak to you alone" he said, ''come out on
the street" She refused and bade him
come into the house. He followed her
into the parlor and closed the door behind
them. Her cries a minute later brought
her brothers into the room. They
found her trying to avoid the
thrusts that Fitzgerald was making
at her with a long and sharply
ground carving knife. They knocked Fitz:
gerald down, disarmed him, and turne !
him over to the police. The frightened and
wounded girl said He asked me TO marry
him and l refused as kindly as l could;
then he drew the knife from his pocket and
said Mary, if you do not marry me will
kill YOU told him not to act so madly or
he would bring trouble on US both. He
again asked me 10 marry him, and when l
said would not, he stabbed me-"
She was too badly hurt to be at court
FITZGERALD was held.

THE DUTY ON IRON ORE.
Mr. divers Explanation why IL Was
Placed Mt Fifty Cents.

PITTSBURGH, January A.-Apropos OF the
attempt to put up the duty on iron by the
Senate yesterday, which adjourned while
an amendment to make the duty GO cents
ton was pending, the following statement
OF Mr.. Oliver before the Finance Commit
tee is in place. He said: THE Mediterra'
mean ores are low in phosphorus, and are
very much better and cheaper to mix with
our ores. think the commission would
have recommended that they be admitted
free if it had not been for the fact that the
same range Of ores which extends through
Michigan and some of the Northwestern
States runs through Canada, and 1t was
ditiOnal advantage, as she has already an
advantage over US In the way OF
Cheaper Labor.
think that was the consideration which
decided the Commission in recommending
that the merely nominal rate of fifty cents
per ton should be put on iron ore. The
rate on iron ore which has come from Can
ada during the last two or three years
would average about eighty cents ton;
that is, the present ad valorem rate under
the general clause, the Canadian ore being
valued at higher price than foreign ore.
On these foreign ores they generally make
their invoices at about what suits them.
The rate has run down as low as thirty five,
and from that up as high as fifty.six tosixty
cents. We consider this rate of fifty cents
ton as merely nominal. The pressure
was very great from those interested in
our northwestern mines to put it at a dol
lar ton, but the commission concluded
thst fifty cents would be about the fair
thing. Our reasons for that were mainly,
as have said, because of the Canadian
ores and the unfair advantage it would give
the Canadian miners"

Su,t Over n SeaIper Ticket,

PHILADELPHIA, January PA verdict
for the defendant was returned to-day in
the suit of George w. Sleeper against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to re-
cover damages for being as he claimed,
illegally put off train. He bought an
accommodation ticket from New York to
this city at a scalper's office. 1t was only good
for the distance from Trenton down. He was
put off at Elizabeth, though he claims that
another conductor said the ticket was
good. At the trial of case last year it was
non.suited on the ground that it was bought
of an unauthorized agent who was in fact
carrying on business which under the
laws OF Pennsylvania is criminal one.
The Supreme Court, however. reversed this
decision on the ground that although the
sale, was illegal, the purchaser got valid
title. The companies defense to day was
that the ticket had been previously used.
