NEW York, May 24.-The inquest in
the case of the mind reader w. Irving
Bishop was begun yesterday afternoon.
Clay III. Greene, the dramatist, testified
that he had seen Bishop in cataleptic
fits before the one which caused his
death. The fact was brought out by
this witness that Dr.. Irwin refused to
call in DIR. Robertson, Bishops regular
physician. on the ground that he was
not friendly with Robertson. Witness
further testified that Bishops muscles
were not rigid when the electric shock
was applied. The shock was SO severe
as to twist the body around.
John G. Ritchie, the theatrical man
ager, testified that he had often seen
Bishop in frances that differed in no re-
spect from the final one.
Louis Aldrich, who, it is said, claims
that the doctors took from Bishops body
paper asking that care be taken not to
cut him up or bury him alive, will be
examined today; also Henry Il. Dixey,
SADIE Martinot and other friends of the
deceased

BALTIMORE, May 24-There is much
apprehension among the workmen at
the Mount Clare shops, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad company that most Of
them will soon be without employment
1t is the avowed purpose of the COM
pany as stated few weeks ago to have
all its new construction work done at
private shops in New Hampshire, New
York and other states, and the hardship
to Baltimore mechanics resultant from
this policy is already beginning to be
felt. Within the past few days thirty
eight men havo been dropped from the
blacksmith shop at Mount Clare, and it
is said that sixty more blacksmiths have
been notified that they would be dis
missed The working force of Mount
Clare lately has been about 1000 men.
1t is the opinion of many that nine
tenths of the force will be discharged
within month.

be done the vessel struck on the break
wate7, rough pile of rock, at 800 a. m,
about 200 yards east of the Maritime Ex-
change Office. The vessel was in the
high sea jumping fearfuIly, and began
to break up very rapidly.
BY the timely arrival on the spot Of
the employees of the Philadelphia Mari
time Exchange and lighthouse, who
risked their own lives among the rocks,
connection from the vessel was secured
with the stone pile, and a small hawser
was loosely fastened and the crew then
managed to come ashore, holding on
with their hands to the large rope while
the rescuers ashore pulled them among

a life line fastened around their waists

nobody was severely hurt. Everybody

IN LETTERS OF GORE
A CHASTITY Domestic Tragedy at
West PittstOn, Pa.


Frank compton, Gardener. Cuta EHls
Young Mife's Throat and Flla Own with
the samO knife and wrltea ''Jealonny's
on the walls in Letters Of Blood.
WEST PITTsToN, Pa, May al.--Frank
Compton, gardener, living on Dana
street in this village, murdered his wife
and then cut his own throat, dying two
hours afterwards. The dreadful tragedy,
following so closely the similar enc at
Maltby, only a few miles from here.
where James Doran murdered his wife
and killed himself, has produced great
sensation, and soon hundreds OF people
gathered about the house.
The crime was committed In bed
room ON the second floor, in which were
only the bed, washstand and a couple
of chairs, the walls and everything in
the room being spatterced with blood.
The wife was killed instantly, her head
being almost severed from the body BY
sweep Of the butcher knife, with which
the dual crime was committed. Her
body lay upon the floor, and Compton
lay close by, with an arm thrown
across it.
After killing his wife and cutting his
own throat Compton walked down stairs,
and with his bloody hands wrote on the
stairway wall letters which were de-
ciphered as meaning Jealousy" He
also wrote on a slate:
Give my watch to my brothers am going 10
heaven. FRANK.
He rambIcd through all the lower
rooms Of the house, and then went up
stairs again and fell down beside his
wife to die. The family OF George
Young, living next door in the same
building, were alarmed over some
shrielxs they had heard and starting an
investigation the terrible crime was re-
vealed to them. Compton was then
alive, but died soon after.
Marital InfeIicity.
The murderer was man Of about 80
years. and the wife, who was formerly
Dora Rozelle, was % years old and very
pretty, having been before her marriage
society belle in Scranton. Before
coming to this place the couple lived
near Dunnings, in L.ackawanna county,
where the brother referred 10 In the
message ON the slate is hotel kceker.
The couple had no children.
The cause OF the tragedy is believed to
have been marital infelicity, as the
couple have for some weeks past been
given much to quarreling, the husband
accusing the wife of receiving the at
tentions of other men. Coroner MahOn
has taken charge of the bodies and will
hold an inquest.

Justice Mahonev, who introduced Sui
livan to DIR. Cronin, is also under sur
veillance. The latter made statement
to States Attorney Longnecker in which
he reiterated nearly all that he previ-
ously said relative to his acquaintance
with the doctor. He said that the intro
duction of the two men was brought
about by chance meeting, and that SO
far as he knew Sullivan only took adj
vantage of it to close a profitable deal
for the doctors professional service.
Mahoney denies any knowledge Of a plot
to injure the doctor, and he has gone SO
far as to state that he does not believe
that Sullivan had anything to do with
the murder.

Two Suspects Under Surveillance. Fur
ther Developments shrouded in nIys-

CHICAGO, May 24.-The Cronin tragedy
creates greater sensation than Chicago
has experienced for many years. Up to
the finding Of the body it is safe to say
that there were not 100 people in the
city who believed in the theory of foul
play. Itwas an almost universal opinion
that he had gone away for reasons which
would develop hereafter. The police
had about dropped the matter, and the
newspapers were treating it as a dead
issue. Hence Wednesday y'a.developments
had a stupefying effect, and this was
followed BY great excitement and de-
mands that no time be lost in running
down the murderers.
Placed in Pinkerton's Hands.
The case has been placed IN the hands
of detective William Pinkerton and the
work of ferreting out the actual conspir-
ators is now being pushed.
There are three suspects. Two of them
are under surveillance. The men are Sc
closely associated with the foul murder
as to be able to tell how it was consum-
mated.
There is another class of suspects.
These are the leading conspirators, who,
while they probably took no hand in the
actual assassination, gave it their in.
dorsamant IL not their hearty snnnnrt.

It is a singular coincidence that Sulli.
van the ice man ordered and obtained
the peculiar business cards, one of which
was presented by an unknown man to
DR.. Cronin very short time previous tc
the murder. Sullivan was sharply ques
toned on this subject last night and
said that the cards had been printed for
him long time ago at the Office of The
Lake View Record, but a reference to
the books of the printing Office failed to
show any record of the transaction.
Though Sullivan is not under arrest he
is being closely shadowed by three men,
who are said to be operatives of the

The Police Suspected.

The party friends of DIR. Cronin have
begun their work of investigation on a
cauteous basis. Their experience soon
after the mysterious disappearance of
DIR. Cronin has satisfied them that in
fuence which worked to kill the Irish
leader permeated a no less powerful
body than the Chicago police force.
When the -inexplicable absence of DIR.
Cronin was first announced the police
authorities assigned as detectives on the
case two men whom friends of the dead
men have every reason to believe were
not desperately anxious to solve the
mystery, and are industriously looking
up the records of Mike Whelan and Dan
Coughlin, of the Chicago Avenue sta
tion. Whelan is cousin Of Sullivan.
the ice man, and Coughlin is said to be
a member or an Irish society that was
arrayed against the doctor. Whelan
and Coughlin belonged to the original
detail that Capt. Setback sent out to
Lake View to investigate the trunk
mystery.

Ignorance in early days of their habits, value, and proper place, put off the day ot evergreens in this country nearly century and they are only just beginning to receive that intelligent consideration which they de- serve. Planted in the seven-by~nine fenced front yard of former days, the very qualities that give to our larger evergreens their great est value, make them nuisanoes of a very pronounced type. They closed the parlo1 windows from light and air and sight see ing; they locked branches across the path and where wholly out of place. After few years of conflict, and year or two of com plete holding of the fort, they were shorn of their glery, trimmed to an unsightly, scared and hideous stem, 8 mere unnc caning blotch of green on the winters brown landscape and only exciting attention when the over hanging boughs shook snow down upon the back of some unwary visitor.
 When people become familiar with the best uses of evergrsens, when they plant them for protection, as backgrounds and frames wherein to arrange beautiful pictures of lawn and flowers and bushes, then we will find them skirting the outer edges of grounds, and developing their grandest beauty and symmetry. In pyramids of beauty they will rise from winters snow, and their various shades of green will be noticed and admired The single line planted merely to repel the winters blasts, will gradually widen here and there into promontories and capes by the addition of new specimens, and these as they grow, will form gulfs and bays and in- lets of lawn, di7ersifving the outline and leading the owners to wonder how they ever contented themselves with grass plot house whose only boundary was a wooden fence, differing only from the adjoining pastures merely in sixe, and styled lawn through courtesy.
