adjoining room. She followed just in
time u see him IN the act Of cutting his
throat. She tried TO interfere when be,
actuated by some sudden i'm
pulse, turned upon her and
made some fri9htful gashes in her
neck, which it was at first thought would
prove fatal. but the latest news Is that
both are doing well, and will probably re-
cover. Mr. Davenport ie one Of the oldest
and most honorable citizens OF Webster

nary, quitting the Office last January. He
WIS over 10 years old. He has been In

MILKING THE RAILWAYS.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY JENKS
LOOKING FOR THE RING.

Union Pacific's Contract TO Give Pacific
Mail SS5 900 in Freight Per Month
Believed to be IileGai-R preventative
Kelley tn Make "a Raid on the $780,
100000 Surplus.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Presldent
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., of the Union
Pacific Railroad, and Oliver W. Mink, his
counsel, arrived here this morning to
place the statement Of the Union Pacihc's
relation to the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company before Assistant Secretary
jerks, of the Interior Department. As
slstant Secretary OF the Interior Jenks
had assigned another case for hearing this
morning, 50 Mr.. Adams had to wait. Mr..
Jenks, who has charge of Pacific railway
matters coming before the Secretary of
the Interior, believes that the agreement
between the Central and Union Pacific
railways and the Pacific Mail steamship
Company, under which the former guaran-
tee the latter $50, 900 a month in freight, is
illegal. he thinks the Government is de-
trauded by it.
RING SUSPECTED.
T He thinks that ring of directors in the
Central and Union Pacific, who are also
directors in the Pacific Mail. are "milk-
selves. This would of course be directly
detrimental to the interests of the govern
ment in the railways. MIR. Jenks say S
that the unlawiulness of this bargain can
be established, and that he proposes when
this has been done TO break 1t up. Un-
lawfulness will probably be affirmed
by the Attorney General. Then the
act directly on the railways. President
Adams of tue Union Pacific and President
Huntington of the Central Pacific say In
reply TO Mr.. jerks that the contract with
the Pacific mail is in the interest of the
railway companies, and therefore of the
United States, because 1t maintains a
higher rate of freight, and so increases
the fund OF net earnings from which the
Obligations 10 the government are to be
paid.
TO ATTACK THE SURPLUS.
Representative William d. Kelley says
that among the first measures introduced
IN the House this winter, Will be resOlu-
tiOn asking the Secretary of the Treasury
why, with surplus amounting to $780,
0OO,0O0, he does not reduce the national
deOL by successive bond calls. Judge
Kelley pro oses TO criticize the financial
policy OF the administrator and the re-
vised version of the monthly debt state
ment as the representative OF it.

STAUNToN,' VA, Oct. 15.-Wllliam NJ.
Brown, prominent citizen OF this county,
was shot and killed in the rotunda OF the
fair grounds to-day by Stuart Koiner.

The crowded rotunda at the iair grounds,
Mr. Browns wife having hold of one arm
and their little child the other hand.
Scarcely a word passed, when kciner
placed bis pistol almost against Browns
body and fired, the bali entering two
inches below the heart. hOiner was al
once arrested and hurried 10 Jail. Brown
was taken into the open air, where he
died in fifteen minutes.
THREATS OF LYNcrING.
The news spread like wild-fre through
the large crowd and in 20 minutes the
feeling found vent in threats Of lynching.
The Mayor ordered a military guard
around the Jail tonight A post-mOrtnm
examination will be held tomorrow. mr.
Brown was an energetic and prosperous
Young farmer and was generally liked.
Koiner is a member Of prominent and
wealthy family. When at college some
years ago he killed fellow student in a
quarrel. After a long trial he was ac-
quItted. His friends claim that his mind
