A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

A Nan at Trinidad, Col, Uses Pistol with
Fatal Effect en- Woman and Himself.
Special tc the Gazette.
TRINIDAD, COL, May 22.-About s
O'Clock this morning residents of West
Main street were startled by the report
of two pistol shots fred in rapid
succession. The reports came from a
house OF Ill repute in the Mexican SEQ
ton. The door being burst open the
sight that met the spectators was hor-
rible one. On bed IN the corner of the
room was found Katie Garcia, a
Mexican woman, already dead with a
hole in her forehead from which the
brains were slowly oozing, while at her
side lay J. J. Pratt with a bullet
hole in his head, but still alive. ne
died at 1890 o'clock without saying a
word. The couple have lived together
for some time as man and wife, and it is
supposed that Pratt killed his companion
in jealous quarrel. Pratt has rela-
tons in Iowa, and was hard case,
Katie Garcia's parents reside In this

THE RAILROADS.
One Cause That More Than Any Other
Brought on the Rate War.
Tbe Purchase Of the Frisco is Heavy Blow
at Gould-GenerRI Railroad News from
All Points.

A special telegram from Chicago in
reference to the present rate war now
raging between Western roads, say that
since the outbreak that has lead to the
present demoralized condition of rates,
both passenger and freight, the causes
which have brought the war about have
been, and continue to be, fully dis
cussed, and the policy of different roads
engaged has been freely and severed v
criticised. One thing which has been a
most potent factor in the strife, and
which, perhaps, has had more to do
with the existing chaos than any other
single cause, has been but lightly touched
upon in the controversy; that is the ma
nipulation of the stock market by rail-
road kings in such manner as to affect
railroad securities in the way best suited
TO their secret purposes.
In speaking of this matter an old and
experienced railroad official said to-day:
"You may talk as you please about the
piratical policy of this road or the ag-
gressive acts of that, so long as the rail-
road affairs of the country are managed
by men whose chief aggrandizement
comes not from the legitimate earnings
tai is invested, but from their manipula-
tion of the stock market or of railroad
securities, so long will you have rate wars
and periods of Generalization and disas-
ter. That is the real secret of
railroad wars. If the management
of the railroads were left to the gen.
eral officers, where it properly belongs,
there would be few rate wars. The
general freight agent is the proper man
to make freight rates, and the general
passenger agent passenger rates. 1t is
their business, and if left to themselves
they would attend to it in a way that
would create a revenue for the roads;
but as it is they are simply the tools of
the security manipulators, whose prinoi-
pal interests are not in the property they
control, but in the stock market, and
just as long as they can dictate the policy
of the great lines of railroad throughout
the country just so long will you have
rate wars.

RATE wAK PROBABILITIES
What is Gould Going to Do? Will it be War
to the Knife? Various 'AuthOritatIve"
Opinions Expressed.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Gould to-day
talked over the Atchison matter with his
associates. He and they are all non
committal as to the course they will pur-
sue. They will neither confirm nor deny
he received ManveI's letter The Atch-
ison people here do not hesitate to say
President Marvel sent th9 letter to Gould
giving him twenty four hours to decide
what he would do about advancing rates;
they say the restoration of Western rates
depends altogether now on what Gould
decides. Gould doesn t want to advance
rates unless the Union Pacific and North
west alliance is abandoned, which
they say is out of the question.
The Atchison is backed By all the other
lines in seeking to compel Gould to re-
store rates. The low rates which the
Atohison proposes to make are from
Kansas City to the South. At present
the Atchison is dong no business what
ever on the route indicated. Whatever
business it gets from any rale is clear
profit, whereas, as the Missouri PACING
has three lines to these points, viz, tho
Iron Mountain, st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas, and the Missouri, Kansas and
lower than the Missouri Pacific it will
compel the Missouri Pacific to reduce
rates on all business to these points,
which would be severe blow. Opinion
is divided as to what Gould win do
when the full magnitude of the Atchi-
son IS new deal is understood. IL is gen.
orally believed be is in fact at the bottom
of the present rate troubles in the West,
while publicly protesting readiness to re-
store harmony. Men whose judgment
always carries weight, and who are ia
miliar with Gould s past record in the
treatment of question like the one now
presented say "wRr to the knife'' is in
evitable between Gould and the Atchlson
systems, and that he will never submit
to the dictation of interference regarding
railroad business of the Southwest, no
matter what the result of the fight NAV
be. Others whose opinions are entitled to
equal respect think Gould IS best interests
are so strongly allied with a peace policy
that nothing will induce him TO declare
open warfare. They say the Atchison
will hencsforth parallel every important
line of the Missouri Pacific system, and
no one could be quicker to realize the
magnitude of the change OF situation nor
Importance of establishing friendly re-
lations between such important systems
than Gould. They look for an overture
of peace any moment.
Sidney Dillon expressed the opinion
that it rested chiefly with Gould TO say
when the rates should be restored In the

System.

The Big Deal a Heavy Blow at the Gould
System.
The passing of the control Of the St.
Louis and San Francisco road to the
Atohlson, Topeka and Santa Fe system,
says the Globe-Democrat, has been the
cause of great surprise in St. Louis. The
annual meeting took place in that city
few days ago, and the new board of d.
rectors organized in New York last Fri
day. There have been various Wall
street rumors afloat concerning the prop
erty for some time past, and it has been
said that q Could Huntington pro-
gramme was at hand. Other COM
binations were talked of and
a Boston rumor was 10 the effect that
negotiations were pending for a lease of
the Frisco by the Atchison. It was
never supposed that leading stockholders
were putting their head together for an
absolute sale OF the property to the
Atchison The effect of this can scarcely
be told at present. It may mean that
the Pennsylvania has q hand in the
transaction for extending its system west
of the Mississippi, and it is not improb-
able that the Chicago and Alton will
ultimately take part in the combination,
giving that system trans Missouri con-
nsction.
In the shape which 1t assumes at pres
ent the Atchison absorption of the
Frisco system can only be regarded as
heavy blow at the Gould Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain system, and it viii

ness in the Southwest. For long time

Hundred wears.
The peculiar distinctsn of ''father of
the fleet" belongs to Admirsl Sir PROVO
william Parry Wallis, R. M, who was
born in Halifax, N. s., April II, 1871,
and is consequently in his one hundredth
year. His father, Provo Featherstone
Wallis, was at that time chief clerk of
the Halifax navy yard. Young Wallis
was entered as midshipman in the navy
when nine years old, and served on the
Cleopatra when that ship was taken by
the Vile de Milan. He was second lieu
tenant on the Shannon in 1913, when
that vessel fought the famous battle with
the Chesapeake, in Boston Harbor; and,
the captain being severely wounded and
the first lieutenant killed, Wallis as
sumed command. He attained the rank
OF captain in 1873, vice-Rdmlral in 1857,
and admiral in 1858.
Though the rule of the navy requires
the retirement of an oficer at the age of
seventy years, owing to the length and
character of Admiral Wallis services,
his name is still retained as special dis
tinotion at the head of the active list.
