She Shoots Her Lover Dead and Then
Kills Herself-A Love Affair.
PITTsBuRG, August 2.-Miss May Patton,
OF Jobnstown, Pa, shot and killed Charles
DeKnight, well.known young man at
Lawrenceyille, this morning, and then blew
her brains out.
The tragedy took place at the Metropoli-
tan Hotel, this city. The couple called at
the hotel at 6 O'Clock this morning. and
DeKnight registered as G. Lewis and wife.
They were given room, and nothing more
was heard from them until o'clock, when
the guests were startled by the reports OF
two pistol shots in quick succession. The
hotel clerk ran to the room, but the door
was locked, and it was necessary to break
it down to effect an entrance.
A terrible sight was presented to the
clerk, and guests who came hurrying to the
room. On the floor was Deknight, dead,
with a bullet hole in his temple, and lying
on the side of the bed was the woman,
also dead, with the blood trickling from a
wound in her head, and revolver still
clasped in her hand. DeKnight was in
street attire, but the woman was en- dish
abile.
It is supposed that they quarreled and
DeKnight was about to leave the room
when he was shot. Both moved in good
society. The girl was the daughter OF
furniture dealer at Johnstown, and had al
ways borne good reputation. She was
quite handsome and about 20 years OF age.
DeKnipht was q Pullman car conductor.
| and lived with his parents in Lawrence
vile. He was about "a years OF age.
In searching the room q letter was found
! from the girl. It was addressed to Jesse
Thurlow, Huntington, Penn" and stated
that she was going to commit suicide.

BOTH BADLY PUNISHED.
A Lightweight Champion Fight Near
New York Yesterday Morning.

A lightweight Champion Fight Neal
| New York Yesterday Morning.
| New YORK, August 2.-TLe Internationa
fight between Frank Murphy OF England
| and Jack HayliD of Boston for 81, 900 g
side and the light weight championship
came off this morning at Verplanck's
Point on the Hudson, and ended in a
draw. The men fought forty mine rounds
taking three hours and 15 minutes.
A tug started from Harlem with Murphy
and his party at about midnight, steam
ing down the East river. 1t was joined at
the battery by tug bearing Havlin
and his party. Both steamed up the
Hudson to the scene OF the fight.
No time was lost on arriving on the
battlefield, and ropes were quickly
stretched in the presence of fifty spectators.
Murphy shiod his castor in the ring at
saowsu Sn0 me Maa dressed in white tights RIsfk
black tights and shoes. Havlin was
seconded by George Young and Jack Fraser.
Murphy's seconds we're Jack McAuliffe and
Jack Ashton.
Time was called at 5:44. From the first
the men fought hard. Havlin landed the
first DOW on Murphy's chest and before it
was returned landed another on his cheek.
He got in third blow on Murphy's neck
as time was called.
In the third round blood was claimed
and allowed for Murphy. The fight went
on, with the advantages gained by either,
alternating in almost every round, and
neither obtaining any advantage sufficient
to change the betting, which continued
throughout. The 47th round was the Sc
verest in the ba tile, and was a terribly
hard-fought one, considering the condition
of the men then. Havlin was staggering
around the ring. Murphy was too weak to
take advantage of his condition. At the
end OF the 49th round it was plain that
neither of the men possessed sufficient
strength to continue the fight, and the ref
cree stepped into the ring and declared the
fight draw. His decision was conceded
by all to be the only one possible.
Throughout the fight, Havlin received
nearly all his punishment about the face
and neck, while Murphy's body received the
greater portion OF the battering admins
tered to him. At the close OF the fight
Havlin's left eye was closed tight and the
right was almost gone. There was q big
lump on his right cheek and cut on the
left side of his face. The blood was stream
ing down and covered his body. Murphy
had cut under his right eve and his LETT
closed. His forehead was mass OF Jumps
and it was difficult to say who was the
most badly used up.

agreement between the Northern Pacific
and the Manitoba government were made
public yesterday. The Northern Pacific
agrees to build this year an extension to
Portage, and next year to continue the line
to Brandon. No arrangements are made
as to branch line extensions. The agreement
provides for the maintenance OF maximum
rates from the Province to Duluth on
wheat and certain other classes OF freight.
This rate is considerably lower than the
Canadian Pacific rate from Winnipeg to
Port Arthur. The agreement also distinctly
stipulates that the Northern Pacific shall
not enter any pooling arrangements with

How the Senate Committee Did Not Inves.
tigate the Real Facts.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-The minority re,
port OF the Senate judiciary committee on
the Jackson, Miss. political riots, was sub
mitted by Senator Pugh to the Senate
to-day. The minority report says the
hearings we're held with closed doors, and
in Washington, more than one thousand
miles from the locality Of the transaction.
Hence, members OF the committee had no
opportunity OF examining the great mass
OF witnesses who were on the ground to
report.
Following every detail of the occurrences
under investigation, it says: "This CON-
spiracy OF McGow and Baldwin to eliminate
the negro vote and to secure the co-opera-
tion Of the committee of one hundred, is
suggestive Of the methods by which these
Southern outrages are manufactured for
political purposes" Itdeclares that Bald.
win stands impeached as utterly unworthy
of credit.
1t finds that the evidence against the
Federal official inculpated by the majority,
is unimportant, untrustworthy and illegal.
1t is not shown, the minority says: THAT
anyone Of the Federal officers incriminated
by the committee did single illegal act or
aided or advised in the doing OF such an
act"
The report is signed by Senators Pugh,
Coke, Vest and George.

PITTsBUKG, August 2.-The remains OF the
famous playwright, Bartley Campbell, ar
rived from New York this morning, and

few hours later. The body was first taken
to st. Paul's Cathedral, where the casket
was opened and the thousands OF friends
who had gathered to pay final tribute to
the popular journalist and dramatist,
were given an opportunity to look upon
his face for the last time. Services were
conducted by the Rev. Father Wall, rector
OF the Cathedral, after which the body was
conveyed to the cemetery.
There were no distinguished people con-

present, although a number of handsome
floral tributes showed that the deceased
was not forgotten.

4HLKP0RE4NE DECISION
The Case Of the Northern Pacific r. r. C
Against MILLER In the Land snits.

The Case Of the Northern Pacific r. r. Co
Against MILLER In the Land suits.
/ WAsHNaroN, August 2.-The Secretary
OF the Interior to-day rendered decision
in the somewhat celebrated case of The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company against
Guilford Miller
The Secretary holds, briefly, that when
the map OF the main line was filed and ac-
cepted in 1870, the general route was fixed
and the statutory nithdraval under Sec
tion six OF the granting act became opera
tive. The statutory withdrawal having
once been put in operation, could not
again be exercised, it's authority being ex-
hausted; and the central route being once
fixed, could not be amended or changed
except by legislative authority. As no
such authority was given, the attempts to
change the general route by the map of '72
was without authority Of law
AS Miller's land was not within the limits
OF the statutory withdrawal un5er lawful
mail Of 20, Il remained public lands sub
lect to settlement, notwithstanding the
I tfiling OF the map OF IL and the attempted
withdrawalof of the land by the Commissioner
Of the General Land Office. The Secretary
holds that section six OF the granted act to
the company absolutely prohibits the
withdrawal by theexecutive ofiands on the
line OF the road from the operation of the
homestead presumption laws, and that, in
attempting to make the withdrawal of
lands for indemnity purposes, the commits
sioner did that which was prohibited.
The Railroad company selected Millers
land as indemnity for lands lost within the
Yakima Indian reservation. but the secre-
tary says that inasmuch as the supreme
court said in the Butts case, that lee of
simple title to lands within the Indian
reservation passed by the grant to the
company subject to the right OF occupancy
by the Indians. the company is not en-
titled to indemnity for lands within said
reservation and which have passed to it by |
it's grant.
The effect Of this decision is far reaching. |
and will affect about 500 cases now pend |
ing in the central land Office, and proba- |
bly, the claims OF many settlers which nave |
not reached them. The denial Of the right |
OF the company to indemnity for lands
within the Yakima Indian reservation is /
said to be equally applicable to other In
dian reservations along the line OF the
road, and will have the effect of reducing
claims OF the company very largely, prob
ably, to the extent of a million and a
half acres. About two hundred cases are
now in the central land office, which will
be affected by this decisiou

SUCCESS TO THE N p. Road.
Efforts to Secure Share of the Transccn-
tinental Tea Trahic.

CHICAGO, August 1.-The Northern Pacific
is making an effort to secure q share of the
tea traffic from the Pacific to the Altar tic
-sDaat snL;.l eli iortr=frfss Deen moaoponzeo
to great extent by the Canadian Pacific.
Yesterday the first shipment OF sixteen car
loads arrived at Chicago on it's way to New
York. The tea was received at Portland,
Ore, by the Northern Pacific. transferred to
the Burlington & Northern at st. Paul, and
on it's arrival here wastaken eastward over
the Chicago & Atlantic, which connects
there with the Erie for New York.
The object Is to overcome the Canadian
Pacific's record in time on the Transports
tion from ocean to,pcean. The train made
remarkably fast tif1e over the initial lines
OF the route, and is scheduled to run at
about forty miles an hour from Chicago to
New York.
Much interest attaches to this competi-
ton, as the result is destined to have an
important bearing ON transcontinental
traffic. III it is shown that better and
quicker service is given by tbe new route
than by that of the Canadian Pacific. there
is no doubt that much of the business now
held by the foreign line will be captured by
the Northern Pacific and shipped eastward
via Chicago.

How the Old Man Hoech and His Wife
Likely Died in Chicago


Likely Died in Chicago
CHICAGO, H., August "A new phase OF
mystery attending the death OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Heech, was developed to-day. The
two were ardent believers in curing by elec-
tricity. Both were in the habit OF taking
electric baths, and being treated by cleo
trical appliances.
In the course of the Investigations at the
house of the dead couple, a battery was
found this morning, charged 80 heavily that
a shock from it would surely produce death.
It is now supposed that Mrs. Hoech desired
her husband to treat her with the electric
battery. This he did, and in an unfortunate
moment, accidentally turned on the bat
terry at full strength, giving his wife such d
shock that she fell back dead.
Realizing that he had caused his wife's
death, the frantic man took his own life by
hanging himself in the doorway OF his wife's
