Caused by Drink.

CHICAGO, June IA special from
Parkersburg, West Virginia, says: Two
families named Brtw er and Bush, who
live upon adjoining premises, at plsc
called Happy Hollow, on the railroad u
few miles north of here. on the Ohio
ide, have been enraged in a contention
concerning line fence, water rights
and other common property. William
Brewer had been drinking yesterday
and in the evening, passing a neighbor' 3
house, saw Mrs. Bush and her two sons,
Thomas and Charles, talking at The
gate. He drew a knife and stabbed
Charles in the back. Mrs. Bush and
the other son then interfered. ano
Brewer. graspiDg the old lady by the
arm. struck her several times in the
throat and cut her terribly in the neck
from which she soon bled to death. By
this time Bush and man named
Cleaver, attacked Brewer with clubs an,
stones, beating him until he was fatally
injured. BsaWer is giant in strength
and made desperate fight, cutting and
slashing bis assailants, but infiicnDg no
severe wounds. One Of his hands wa
almost cut off, two long gashes were on
his head and face and bis neck was bor-
ribly slashed. Charles Bush has since
died

spEcULArIoNs AS TO WILLIAM.

PARIS, June 18.-Most of the Paris
papers regard Emperor Williams or
ders to the army as having warlike
tone, contrasting singulsrly with the
rescripts of Frederick. Some Journals,
notably the Steele, which has a mod
crate article, views the Emperor's Ian
guage as merely that of soldier ad
dressing soldiers, and expresses the
hope that Emperor William s prociama-
ton to the Prussian people will be de-
cidedly pacific.

the troops, the mourbers departed.
Before leaving, the widowed Empress
bent over the coffin and took q solemn,

Who Wouldn't be an Emperor

Edmund Yatess Letter in Ne1o York Tribune.
Now that Frederick III is safely seat
ed on the imperial throne, there can
be no harm in saying that his real rea-
son for having declined to follow the
advice of the German doctors and sub
NIT to a dangerous physical operation
was his anxiety to secure the position
for his family at whatever cost to him
self. This resolution was come to al
together independently of DR.. Macken-
zie, and indeed before he was called in;
but that eminent physician confirmed
it on purely medical grounds which
have never been impugned by any
competent critic. On the other hand,
the so-called military party in Germa-
nv were anxious to induce the Illus
trious patient to put himself unreserv-
edly in the hands of the surgeons.
The precise motives for this zeal for
his welfare may be understood by
those who know that the proposed
operation, even if successful, would
have permanently disqualified the
crown prince for the exercise of the
duties of sovereign. So determined
was the attempt to bring him under
the surgeons knife in spite of himself,
that DR.. Mackenzie, on arriving in
Berlin in the evening, found all prepa
rations made in the Neues Palais for
radical operation on the following
morning, without the subject having
been asked whether he would consent,
or being in the least aware what was
going on,

The "Old Stage Coach'' of 1900.

| Boston Journal.
The embargo upon the vast network
of railroads in this section of the coun
try has led many persons to ask the
question, ''What did the people do in
the olden time, before the days of rail-
roads 2" when they were obliged to de-
pend upon the stage coach for long OF
short distances.
In an address recently given at the
Boston Young Mems Christian Union
by it's president, Mr.. Baldwin, upon
''The Ethics of Business" he took oc-
casion in speaking to the young men
to compare the present times with the
beginning of this century. The rail-
road, steamboat, steamship, telegraph,
telephone and the daily newspaper
were referred to.
He said from the far distant parts OF
our country important news was re-
ceived but semi occasionally, the stage
coach, the messenger by wagon or on
horseback, being the means-apd a
very slow means-of receiving or send
ing news from and to the different
parts, even of the state, and how very
slow and infrequent to thus gather in
formation, or to reach, by public con-
veyance, the distant portions of our
country.
Mr.. Baldwin gave the following in
teresting facts regarding the list of
stages that run from Boston at the be-
ginning of this century, taken from the
Massachusetts Register and United
States Calendar" published in Boston
in 1902: "Albany mail stage goes
through Worcester. Sets off from
Kings Inn, Maj ket square, every Mon
day and Thursday morning at 10
o'clock (only twice each week), and
arrives at Albany every Monday and
Thursday noon"
In IS02-74 hours from Boston to
Albany. In I999-64 hours and 6
trains daily.
"Boston and New York Mail Stage'
Starts from Kings Inn, Market
square, every day, Sundays excepted.
Summer establisment-Leav Boston
at 10 a. M, and arrive at Worcester
same day at 8 p. m. leaves Worcester
next morning at 3 o'clock and arrives
at Hartford same day at 8 p. m. leaves
Hartford next morning at 3 o'clock,
and arrives at Stamford same day at
p. m. !; leaves Stamford next morning
at 3 o'clock, and reaches New York at
noon same day.
Iii 1OuA-|4 hours (Gnree Iuil days
and nights, and two hours more) from
Boston to New York. In 1989-Six
hours, with four trains daily, to which
may be added the many daily trains
via Boston and Providence, New York
and New England and Old Colony
Railroads.
Mr.. Baldwin stated that an old gen.
tleman who died about twelve years
since, at over four score years of age,
informed him few years before his
death that in the war of 1912 he enlist
ed in the government service.
One of the first duties assigned to
him was ''to take load of ammuni-
ton by team from Charlestown, Mass,
to Albany, N. Y"
Two pairs of oxen drawing the heav-
lily loaded wagon at about 90 miles
each day was certainly a wide con-
trast, said Mr.. Baldwin, to the present
quick freight trains over the Boston
and Albany railroad. The time of
quick freight, now in 1888, being about
10 hours.
