fists, and it is stated that jealousy has existed
between them for long time. Coates has been
endeavoring for year past to procure a divorce
from his wife. but has been unsuccessful in his
efforts. DR.. Keith has, in the meantime, been a
defender and sympathizer Of Mrs. Coates, and
although he is sixty-fv years of age, ne has
been accused by the ladys husband of improper
relations with his wife. Coates has been de-
spondent for some time. and this morning an
nounced his intention Of drowning himself and
started for the river to carry out his purpose
but upon emerging from the house he met DIR.
Keith, and after interchanging some hot words
he accused Keith Of having caused all his unhap-
piness, and the latter denying it. a struggle en-
sued, both men falling to the ground. Upon
Keith's arising and attempting to walk away
his antagonist drew revolver from his pocket
and discharged it, with the above results. Dr.
Keith was taken to the City Hospital, where his
wound was pronounced fatal, and where he died
at LAO o'clock this afternoon.

pears that Mr.. Keith was not dentist, but that
he was the father of DIR. III. FL. Keith, dentist
resident in this city. Coates is locked up. and
talks calmly about his case. He attributes all
his trouble to Keith. and does not regret the act
although he says be did not intend to kill the

ACROSS the Continent. for Fifty Dollars.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-Much excitement
was created in railroad circles to-day by the an
nouncement that the Atlantic g. Pacific, in con-
nection with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
the Chicago & Alton, and the Pennsylvania rail
New York to $50 The time within which these
tickets can be used is ten days. This
rate was Immediately met by all
other railroad agents. Limited tickets to Chicago
also came in for a cut, and we're reduced to $35
Unlimited and third-class tickets remain as yes
terday. The Atlantic g. Pacific still refrains
from selling unlimited tickets at the reduced
rates. Much complaint is being made by
agents of Eastern lines concerning the sale
of unlimited tickets at cut rates. All urge the
withdrawal of such tickets from sale. The sale
of unlimited tickets to-day was reported very
lively. All the trunk lines between Chicago and
New York have followed the Pennsylvania Cen
trail into the fight which the latter company en-
tered to-day.

The Joint resolution heretofore introduced bv
Mr. Berry was passed, requiring that the leases

''Shall not be renewed unless the Fortv-ninth
Congress shall adjourn without having legislated
with reference thereto"
The education bill was laid before the Senate,
and Mr.. George continued his remarks in favor
of the bill.
During his speech quite an exciting colloquy
took place between Mr.. George and Mr.. Morgan
The latter denied some of the differences drawn
by Mr.. George from his Mr. Morgan'sl speeches
on former measures before Congress, and said
Mr.. Georges reading misrepresanted him.
Mr.. George said: ~ shall read the Senator's
own language and then shall not misrepresent
him."
Mr. Morgan-It does misrepresent me.
Mr. George-If / read your own language it
will not misrepresent you
Mr. Morgan-It does misrepresent me, and the
Senator knows it.
Mr.. George-It is untrue. The statement made
by the Senator is simply untrue, and he knows
Mr.. Morgan saw no force in the distinction
drawn by Mr.. Maxey and the other opponents of
the bill, between money In the Treasury drawn
from taxation and money drawn from other
sources.
The debate was continued by Mr.. Dolph, Mr.
Plat and Mr. Logan. The latter thought
the bill should be based, not on the iliteracy
of all persons of ten years of age and up
ward. but on the iiteracy of the white and
colorec children. In that way the colored chill
dren would get larger proportion of the money
than they would get under the bill as it now
stood.
Mr.. Allison suggested an amendment, which
he said lie would offer at the proper time, pro-
viding that in each State in which there shall be
separate schools for white and colored children.
the money paid shall be apportioned and paid
out for the support of such white and colored
schools in the proportion that the illiteracy of
white and colored persons bears to each other, as
shown by the census. Mr.. Allison thought the
bill should be so amended as to be precisely what
it was intended to be- and so there should be no
room left for doubt to arise when the provisions
of the bill came to be applied in practice as to
the proportions of money to be applied to white
and colored schools respectively.
The debate here closed and the Senate ad-

LABOR MATTERS.
Negotiations Looking to- n Reopening of the
Mccormick Reaper Works.

Nesotiations LOOKING To ReopentnS OF the
Mccormick Reaper Works.
| CHICAGO. Feb. 25-A committee of the Nc
Cormick reaper workmen called upon Mr.. Nc
Cormick this afternoon. Regarding the inter-
| view, Mr. Mccormick said: "A number of our
men waited upon us in an informal way and said
| several petitions were now being signed by for
mer employees, asking that reopen our works
and give them positions at the same wages paid
before the works were closed This movement
as we understand it, is by old employees exclu-
| siyey. and in no way recognizes any agitators or
unions or labor organizations. We are assured
that 1t Is the expression of a desire Of
signed by from eight hundred to one thousand of
the men. We understand that the petitions will
probably be presented tomorrow. When we
start our works we will take care of the men who
stood by Us. Some of our employees really in
need of their money for the daily wants of their
families. They will be cared for when the
works are opened, and we shall endeavor to pro-
vide for all of the men who nave given us their
support, and who have the moral courage to
stand by their expressions of approval"
While the company cannot say what action it
will take upon the petitions which have not vet
been presented, it is quite probable that, should
they be or the tenor supposed, the works will
be started with the men who support the com
imately interested.
Strikers to the number of about one thousand,
appeared in the vicinity of the works this morn
ing, and for the first time made display Of vio-
lence. The foreman of the works, named Ward,
was stopped while driving to the works, and
during colloquy revolvers were drawn, but no
shots fired. He was afterward permitted to go
to the works Meantime another squad of idle
men had stopped the engineer. and still another
the steam and gas-fitter, who were on their way
to the works, where they have been kept busy
since the place was closed keeping the machin-
cry in order After a short parley the engineer
was allowed to proceed, but the other man went
home. Police Officer Rowan, who had been
sent out to the works with good many other
policeman, in citizens clothing. to mix with the
crowd and keep order, accosted by a work
man, who demanded to know what he was do
ing Some words passed and the workman,
whose name is. Ernest Stoneman, was arrested
and locked up. More police were sent to the

tic Hungarians caused more trouble in the coke
regions this morning A crowd of them assem-
bled at Broadford and marched to the Summit
on Mt Pleasant branch, forcing every coke
drawer from work along their route They were
nearly all armed. and fired numerousehots in
order to intimidate the workers. At the Summit
and other works the coke-drawers fed through
fear of violence from the mob and in some cases
left their scrapers in the hot ovens to melt fear
ing that if they continued work the tipple and
other buildings at the works would be de-
stroyed. The strikers demand an advance of
10 cents per oven instead of 10 per cent recent
ly granted. At Leisenring the men requested
Superintendent Taggart to discharge a man who
had worked during the strike. This was re-
fused, and the men all struck this morning

ers refused to do, claiming that they came into
the conference to negotiate for terms of settle
ment of wages, and could not take into consider
alton the present workmen.
