The Entering Wedge.
No- ynvH nup

A notable installation is about to be
made between Seattle and Tacoma, a dis
lance of forty-two miles. This will be the
longest electric railway in the world. Much
has been said and written of late on the
probability of electric motors being run on
trunk lines before long, and the railway in
question is but the inaugural step to some
early and extensive developments. The
main promoter of the line. speaking on the
subject. says: Theorists and takers have
for some years been saying that electricity
is the great motive power of the future.
But the people of the East. and the ones
who do the most talking, still stick to the
steam railways. We of the West are going
TO put the electrical way to practical test.
The road will be q fair competitor of the
steam railway, and at fair distance"

Mrs. woodwor.h Hypnotixe. Fools.

ST. LOUIS. Sept 3.-Two physicians fled
complaint in the probate court yesterday
for an in quiry as to the sanity of Mrs.
Woodwork, the evangelist, who has been
holding meetings here for several months.
The doctors think the converts peculiar
mental and bodily state is due to hypnot-
ism exerted by Mrs. Woodwork, and that
its effect is most pernicious.
The basis for the inquiry lies in the fact
that Mrs. Woodwork has stated while in
this state that she has conversed with the
Deity and descended into hades.

American Bankers, Convention.

SARATOGA. N. Y. Sept. 3.-The annual
convention of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION opened today. President Charles
Parson, president of the State bank of st.
Louis, delivered the annual address. He
treated all the financial questions of i'm.
portance, particularly the silver question.
On the latter question he argued that as
congress had already passed law for its
solution, the law should be given chance
to show how it worked. Agitating the
question at present would only result in
harm to the country.

Strenuous Efforts to Have the Time Ex-
tended to December.
KANSAS CRY, Sept. 3.-President Edward
Hewins, of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
Association, said today that strenuous eli
forts were being made to influence Presi-
dent Harrison to extend the time set for
the evacuation of the Cherokee strip by the
cattlemen until December l. II the presi-
dents order goes into effect By October, it
will necessitate during the next twenty
seven days the rushing of fully quarter
of million of cattle on the market. which
will virtually have the effect of running
the price of cattle down great deal lower
than the market has been for years. He
says every representative and senator
from Kansas has signed a memorial asking
an extension of time, which has been pre-
scented to President Harrison. The secre-
tsry of agriculture has also interceeded.

KILLED HIS BRoTHER-IN-LAw.
Kentucky Politicians Quarrel With Fatal
Result,

RICHMOND, KY. Sept. 3.-Bailard Bran
ston was shot and killed by George w.
Maupin last night Both were prominent
politicians and brothers-in-law. Branston
was only yesterday married to his divorced
wife, sister of Maupin's wife. Maupin,
who is county iaiier, was asked to furnish
a room for the married couple but said he
could not do so. Branston then cursed
him and wanted to shoot it out. Maupin
went and armed himself, and on his re-
turn the threat to shoot was again made,
when he (Maupin) fired two shots. Both
balls pierced Branston's brain. The men
had been on good terms and the killing
was wholly unexpected. The affair has
created great excitement.

story-It Is Probably True.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Mr. Geo. KEENAN,,
the well known Siberian traveller and
writer, who is now delivering series Of
lectures in this city on the Russian penal
system. was asked in regard to the dis
patch from Paris yesterday, detailing the
outrages to Nine. Sihida by prison
official at Kara and the distressing train
OF events which followed. He said that
the dispatch bore the impress OF truth
iulness. Paris contains large number
OF Russian refugees and they have means
OF communicating with the penal settle
ment that no other persons have. The
iakutsck massacre came out through
the refugees in Paris aud it is evident
that the persons who wrote the dis
patches knew something about the loca.

there and know that the male and
female prisons are some distance apart,

in few days, but at present I know
only whGt see in the dispatches. s.. R
Some officer might have been present
who did not approve of the outrage and
told some Of the prisoners aboutit. Then
some OF the women may have seen it
and sent word to Paris. Such outrages
never can be covered up. They are
bound to get out some way. There are
700 or 800 male prisoners ut Kara, and

Very Interesting Story.

NEW YoRk, Feb. 12.-Wall street wa.
to-day aRitated by one Of tho creates,
social scandals which has visited It in
some years. A local paper to-day pub.
lished a sensational story from the
Hygeia Hotel, at Old Point Comfort.
The heroine Of the story was Mrs. Alice
Smell McCrea, daughter OF the murdered
millionaire Smell, Of Chicago, who re.
Gently procured divorce from her hus.
band. The hero was Douglass Green, a
member Of the well known banking
firm Of Green & Bateman, at No. 81
Broadway, this city.
Tho gist OF tho story is that Mrs. Nc.
Crea and Mr.. Green, the latter being
also guest Of the hotel, suddenly CON, :
cluded to get married, and after some
difficulty in getting q licence, were
actually married on Monday lust BY a
colored clergyman, the bride insisting
upon that point.
The couple then left Old Point Com.
tort and came on to this city, where
Mrs. McCrea had been living for some
time at No. 1876 West Ninety.third street.
She gave up this house on going South.
and on their return she went to the St.
James Hotel, and Green went to his
quarters, at the Barcelona flats. Mrs.
Green registered under her old name.
When Green's doings reached the
ears OF other members of his firm, there
was lively time, due to the fact that
Green has wife already, from whom he
was not divorced, and several children,
He had, they declared, been acting
queerly Of late, aud they thought his
mind was unbalanced. lie was given
one day in which to deny the report of
his marriage with the widow, and as he
did not do it his retirement from the
firm was demanded. To this he assent.
ed, and to-day his retirement was nm.
nounced publicly in the Stock Ex-
change.
The scandal, which by this time had
become known on the street, created a
lively sensation, as Green was widely
and favorahly known. Tho fact that
he has been guilty OF deliberate bieamy
leads his friends to believe him mentally
unsouud. His first wife is niece of,the
Governor Of New Hampshire, and is
now living in Connecticut. He separa.
ted from her about three years ago, and
she received weekly allowance. She
was informed to-day Of her husbands
escapade. E@
Green's friends yesterday afternoon
concluded to have his mental condition
inquired into, and engaged Gen. Roger
a. Pryor to take charge Of the matter.
When Green was sought this morning it
was found that he had flown with Ills
new bride. He boarded the German
steamer Lain late las. evening and the
couple & sailed this morning for Europe.
Green had got wind Of the lunacy pro-
ceedings. Although his finances arc
probably in bad way, the Chicago
widow has about million and half
in her own name.

NrAcK, N. Y, Feb. 1.-Two men on
their way to train, at 5 o'clock yester-
day morning, heard groans, and upon
investigating found q man, unknown BY
anyone here, lying under large tree
with no apparel on except a portion of
an undergarment. pr
The stranger was unconscious and an.
parently nearly frozen. He was taken
to warm room, and in a. couple Of
hours recovered consciousness. He is a
German about IS years old, heavy built,
and wearing light mustache. His
hair is newly cut and his face clean
shaven. ri
Several hours afterward the man re-
vived and said his name was Matthew
Hoffman, that he came from Philadel.
phia to New York, and from that city to
Nyack. When asked where his clothes
were, he said he took them off Monday
night alongside stream and lay down
to sleep. A search kept up nearly all
day has failed to reveal the whereabouts
OF the mans clothing, and the case is
shrouded in mystery. T,TS0
The mans hands arc soft, and plainly
he has done no hard work with them.
He is very reticent, and it is believed
there is story back OF the case. The
man is held by the authorities until
something can be learned concerning
him. > -. = 7.-agE.- - gs,g : r. .7'I Q
