fully 500 900 200 passengers were carried

General Dumont says the experience of
the past year shows the truth of his as
sertiou in o former annual report that no
mode of travel at the present day,
whether by rail. horse car. carriage or
even common farm wagon, presents 20
low q percentage of accidents as travel
by steam vessels. The report shows a

discoutinuauce of offices for such in

and San Francisco, and General Dumout
suggests the abolition of foreign inspec-
ton service altogether. Total number of
foreign vessels inspected during the
year was ESQ, and 1917 intermediate ex-
aminations OF foreign steamers were
made for the purpose Of ascertaining il
all the requirements of law we're COM

Window Glass Trust Higher Prices.

FINDLAY, ONO, Oct. 2l.-This morn
Ing every window glass factory in Find
lay went into the new trust which has
been organized to control the production
and sale of window glass. This trust
embraces all the window glass houses in
the United STATES west of Pittsburg, with
the single exception of one which is
owned by Findlay parties. rhe effect of
this continuation will be to increase the
price of glass, Lecause it prevents any
competition. The new tariff gives the
trust additional protection from importa-
ton and although no window glass will
be imported prices will be as high as
though the glass was imported and duty
paid upon 1t. The factories here do not
know VINO will handle their product, but
all orders will have to come through one
central agent. The headquarters of the
trust are located at Chicago.

A SAN ANTONIO TRAGEDY.
A Han Fatally Shoots Lady and Then Sui
cldes-It is Supposed He NIstook the
Lady for His Wife.
Special to the Gazette.


SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 21.-A
terrible shocking murder and su icide was
committed tonight about 'clock at
the corner of Frio and Perez streets
Mrs. August Mehlin, the handsom g
young wife of a railroad laborer.
was shot and killed by Il man named
Weiss. Weiss then ran off about ten
yards, placed the muZzle of the smoking
revolver in his mouth and literally blew
out his brains.
The shocking tragedy is involved in
considerable mystery. Mrs. Mehlin was
proceeding home in an uncovered light
wagon with her husband from his work
in the International and Great Northern
railroad yards. The couple stopped
at the bakers to procure bread
at the corner of Trio and Perez. Mehlln
left his wife in the vehicle to hold the
horse while he procured TIE bread. He
had hardly gotten in the store
before two shots rang out. His
wife screamed that she was
murdered. Both bullets took effect near
the heart and the woman died soon after
being taken TO the hospital.
Weiss was q deserter from the United
States army. He came here recently
from Detroit. His wife joined him q
few days ago, but they quarreled and
separated yesterday. It is supposed that
Weiss mistook Mrs. Mohlin for his wife.
A note found in his pocket indicated
that he first intended to Kill his wife and
then suicide.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Contribu-
tons for campaign purposes are pouring
in at the various Republican headquar-
tiers in this city from the clerks in the
departments, who have been notified
The civil service law affords little, if
any, protection to the clerks, aud the
Republican campaign committee is pro-
ceedirg to reap the benefit by intlmat-
ing that it Will be we'll to contribute to
the sum. The clerks in the departments
credited to Ohio have received the fol-
lowing circular:
Headquarters Ohio Republican STATE Executive
Committee. 20 East state street, { pposite
government buiIding) Columbus. Ohio:
WAsHING9 ON, d. c., Oct. -, 1890.
DEAR SIR-The Republican state execu-
tive com mittee of Ohio has authorized
the treasurer of the Ohio association,
William Mays, banker at SIG Ninth
street, TO receive voluntary contributions
from Ohioans resident in this city
and forward the same to the executive
committee at Columbus. He is author
lied to receipt for the same and keep Il
copy of which will be furnished to this
committee. 1t Is therefore hoped that
you will call on Mr.. Mays at once, as the
committee is in need of funds to pay its
actual expenses. Your promptness and
liberality in this regard will be duly ap-
preciated. Yours truly, the Republican
state executive committee OF Ohio.
1t Is safe TO say that the clerks credited
to other states have received similar cir
cula, from the state committees. Civil
Service Commissioner Roosevelt sad the
comm ission had not had its attention
called to any violation of the civil service
laws in the matter of campaign contrbu-
tious, and he didn't take any stock in
newspaper stories.
SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
The friends of Secretary Noble are
pushing him hard for the vacancy on the
supreme court bench. 1t is asserted on
apparently good authority that Mobiles
chances are about equal with Attorney
General Miller. 1t is evident that Noble
is regarded as q strong candidate, for
according to q St. Louis man a story is
being circulated to the effect that the
secretary is sixty-four years of age, and
that he is not resident of the judicial
circuit from which Justice Miller was
appointed. The St. Louis man says the
story is wrong, as Noble IL but fifty
eight years of age and hS is legal resi-
dent in that particular circuit.

good, although much cheaper. for all

are used mainly for washing carriages,
