A short time before the tragedy Donohue
went to his trunk and took therefrom re

weapon back, but he threatened to shoot her
if she interfered Then he sat on the lounge
in the sitting-roOm, revolver in hand.
Presently his stepfather, large man, came
into the house. He saw Donohue, and
walking toward him said: 'James, give me
that pistol" DonOhue Immediately rose to
his feet and fired ball through 0'Connelrs
heart, and then laid down on the lounge,
seemingly uncOncemed. O'COnnell walked
few steps and fell dead. Mrs. O'Connell
rushed, screaming, out Of doors. A police
man soon appeared, but Donohue stoutly re
sisted, and had to be very severely dubbed
before he could be arrested

called Mill island, and has been long
gazed upon from a distance, and some
times used as landing place by fisher
men. But the island has been inhabited
within the memories of the Oldest inhab-

on it. Recently somebody laid claim to
the island and offered to sell it for 81 900;
but two sisters-Violetta and Jane Gibson
protested against having the island sold
from under their feet, and the house from
over their heads, as they hold deed for
the property as the lawful heirs of Sandy

John j Clark gave Gibson deed for the
property and moved off with his personal

possessed and run off by any claimant.
Mill island is their all the world, and they
mean to defend their rights with theil

suit brewing, and the fishermen say no
body can take that rock from the Gibson

BOUDOIRs OF FoOTLIGHT QUEENS
Handsome Hands and Pretty Feet,


Alice Dunning Lingard, who in all
other respects is beautiful woman, for
long time had the reputation of being
lowered with the most substantial pedal
extremitics Of any actress on the Ameri-
can stage. Miss Minnie Palmer, who is
now meeting with tremendous success in
Scotland, has the smallest hand and foot,
but then she is very small woman, while
Mrs. Lingard is tall and statuesque
The least attractive features about Mrs
Langtry are her hands and feet. The
latter are not unusually tastefully dress
ed, and her hands ore somewhat bony.
1t seems as If nature made a protest some
where to take away from the perfection
of the rest. There is after all a great
deal in the belief that English women
have larger hands and feet than our Amer
lean women. Sara Jewett is deIicately
formed in this respect. She has very pref
ty little hands and they are usually very
well gloved and the finger points are
small. She knows how to dress her feet,
too, and is evidently proud of their pet
itesse. Though growing steuter her feet
and hands remain as small rs ever
Many actresses have the appearance of
possessing large feet on the stage because
they do not know how to wear shoe or
how to order one. Miss Coghlan has
become q large womanand she has a good

Wreck a Northwestern Trsin-They
Are Driven Away After n sharp
Fight, and the Train Saved.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 8.
The residents of this community were
shocked yesterday morning on learning that
a dastardly attempt had been made to
wreck the passenger express on the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad. Frank Williams,
farm laborer, who was walking up the
track, discovered pile of heavy logs and
ties that had been heaped up across the
track. He began to move the pile
aside, when he was interrupted by pair Of
masked men, who sprang up from hiding
place behind some bushes at the side Of the
track and ordered him to leave, with the
muzzle Of a revolver pointed at his ear. He
started Chicagoward, hoping to be able to
stop the train, but the men told him he must
go the other way. Williams did so, but on
arriving presently at farmhouse he told
the inmates the fate that awaited the train
A number of farm hands returned to the
place, and after a spirited fight with the
miscreants, during which num6er of shots
were exchanged, the would-be wreck
ers were driven off The DELIVERIES of
the passengers on the train were not mo-
ment too soon, for Just as the pile of debris
was being thrown aside the traiO rounded
the curve, and the engineer, nONcing the
danger signal hung out by the farmers in
the shape of a red handkerchief placed over
lantern, pulled up within a few yards of
the pile. The wretches fled as soon as
worsted, and escaped. The police say that
they are now in Milwaukee, and will soon
be under arrest. Their motive is as yet UNI
explained. The plan was laid for the bene-
| fit of the Lake Superior train.
