The deceased was the wife of Clay Hogan,
q well-known colored man. They had three
daughters and three sons. One of the latter

wife. Lucy, got to fighting. The old lady,
hearing the disturbance, went down stairs
and tried to stop the fuss. She was attacked
by both and cried for help to her other two
sons and married daughter, Mrs. Susan
down first. AS she entered the room she
saw her mother fall and heard her say;.,
"You have kicked me in the stomach"
The three led the old lady up stairs. On
the way up she said:
"Iucy kicked me three times"
Then she tainted away. Physicians were
called, but could do little to relieve her

SINGING AT THE PARK.

Prospects Of Having the May Festival
Chorus at the Fourth of July Celebra-
tion-Over Twenty-Three Hundred Dol
lars Now in the Fund.
The latest feature suggested for the big
Fourth of July celebration is to have the
NAV Festival chorus present to intersperse
the speeches with national airs. Prof Carl
Retter, the leader, has stated his Willingness
to have the chorus out at Schenley Park, but
thinks $500 or $500 would be necessary to
cover the expenses. The Mayor thinks the
feature an excellent one, but doubts whether
enough money could be spared to pay for it.
He will have conference with Mr.. Retter
this morning about the matter.
"The idea is a decidedly good one" said
Mayor Gourley yesterday. Nothing would
be more of a drawing power than a trained
chorus of several hundred voices to sing be-
tween the speeches. People object to stand
ing about listening to one long address after
another without any break By having
speakers and great many more people
would attend. II we can come to an agree
ment with Prof. Retter will be heartily in
favor of having the chorus. 1 think we
might spare 800 to cover their expenses, but
more than that would be doubtful, unless
the subscriptions take a wonderful boom.
eff we succeed in making the arrangement
about the chorus Chief Bigelow will enlarge
his plans for the speaking platform in order
to accommodate the singers. We expect to
have most of the children from the public,
parochial and private schools present, and
children are all fond of music"
The Fourth of July fund received quite q
boom in the way of subscriptions yesterday,
as follows: Eckhard Reineman SIS; Chronicle
Telegraph, $50; Pittsburg Leader, SIS; Volks-
blatt Publishing Company, $40; Charles
P. Mugele & Son, $40: Joseph Stillburg, So;
Samuel Andrews, s.; Max Schlauger, S.;
Demmler Bros, $5; Thomas Delaney, $40;
Joseph Loughrey & Son, $40; Rosenbaum &
Co., So; E. p. Roberts & Sons, So: A. Garrison
Foundry Company, $40; Fleming & Hamil-
ton, S.; Benjaman Thaw, $5; Joseph Bihl-
man, S25 George Reineman, $40: Thomas
Nuttridge, s.; William H. Jacobs, IS; George
Demling, S.; Anderson & Rowan, $40; Raphael
& Zugschmidt, S.; Wolfgang Miller, So; E. K.
Porter, So: Otto Frey, S.; Magistrate B. Nc
Kenna, S25; B. Gallisaith, So; Fred Schmidt,
81. Total received, $3.50; previously reported,
s., ,0l0 30; total cash on hand, s., 309 80.
With the cash subscribed on the Mayors
book, but not paid, the fund will now reach
50, 500. Added to this the $500 promised last
year by c. L. Magee, and $3.50 promised
couple of weeks ago by Colonel Elkins for
the Pittsburg Traction Company, will
leave less than 81, 500 yet to be collected to
make up the Sc, 600 required for the demon
stration. A number of street railways have
promised to subscribe, but for some reason
have not yet sent in their contributions.
A contract was made yesterday with

WHY HE PREFERRED DEATH.
james Sims Shoots Himself Because His
Sweetheart Refused to Elope With Him
Fired Two Shots Into His Body and
VIII Probably Die.

James Sims Sn0OtS d1mseu because his
Sweetheart Refused to Elope With Him
Fired Two Shots Into His Body and
VIII Probably Die.
James W. Sims shot himself yesterday be-
cause his sweetheart declined to elope with
him. The latter is Katie McDermott, who
works at John Dunlap & Co.'S tin and
japanned ware store on Second avenue. She
is just II years old, and lives with her mother
at No. "a Locust street. Sims, who is five
years her senior, has been paying attentions
to her for some time, and had several times
asked her to marry him. But the parents
on both sides objected to any such thing, as
Sims was Protestant and member of John
Gray Council, Jr. o. U. A NJ, while the girl
was a Catholic.
Last Saturday Sims resigned position
with the Sewickley Dairy Company with no
apparent reason. He then went to his home,
No. Is Pride, and told his mother he was
going to leave, but would answer no further
questions. Early yesterday morning he had
packed his trunk, and, saying he would send
a wagon for it. left the house with vallse in
his hand. He made his way down to where
Miss McDermott works and called her out.
The young lady came down the stairs and
talked with him on the pavement. Sims
wanted her to elope with him to Cumberland
and be married. She laughingly declined,
thinking he was joking. She then started
mp stairs to go work again, when he called
her back and urged her once more to marry
him, saying he would kill himself If she did
not. She told him she would answer him
after she was through work and started
away again.
The girl had scarcely gotten away when
Sims pulled a revolver from his pocket and
fired ball into his breast. He fell to the
pavement and then sent another ball into
his body. Several people ran up just in time
to prevent him firing a third shot. The
patrol wagon was called, and Sims was taken
to the Homeopathic Hospital. Last night he
was removed to his home, but the physicians
have little hope of his recovery.
The young man is a son of James Sims,
who killed man on Federal street, Alle-
gheny, and after serving term in the peni-
tentiary, was shot in the riots of 1877. His
grandfather was a Councilman from the
Third ward 20 years ago.

Low Fares ON a Cable Road Attracting
Many Passengers-The Electric Road to

VIII Be Done.
The managers Of the Duquesne road are
apparently alive to the fact that if they want
to obtain q share of the patronage which the
| Pittsburg Traction Company has taken from
| them by reducing the fares to 8 cents, they
will have to get up and hustle for it. There is
nolonger anv doubt of the success of the Pitts
burg Traction Company's scheme for embar-
RAISING its rival, as the most casual observer
might have seen yesterday. The Fifth ave-
nue. cars were running with full loads. while
empty.
Carrying as many people as when you
hrst started?" was asked a conductor on the
Duquesne road, yesterday.
Not one-half as many to-day as then, " was
replied; many people travelled because it
was a novelty, and many who would be reg
ular customers on this line are attracted to
the Fifth avenue line by the cheap fare"
A conductor on the Fifth avenue line re-
marked that he had taken $40 more in fares
yesterday than he had ever before. The
money takers were experiencing no difficulty
In making change. The slips of five tickets
Tor 10 cents were bought up readily, and
feature in this connection will be that the
conductors can collect the fares in less time,
because they have less change to make. The

How the Duquesne people propose to get
even with their rivals can be little more
than conjectured. 1t is said, though, that It
will be in the matter of speed, and that
power house will be built on Soho Hill with
this object. In this relation General Man.
ager Rice was seen yesterday. He was
averse to saying anything at all on the SUBJ
ject, although claiming that the Duquesne
was very busy, but replied to a few
queries. Regarding the question OF the
Thomson-Houston motor, Mr.. Rice said
the company was not contemplating making
any competitive test to ascertain which
motor was the best. Mr.. Rice further said
that he could not say what might not be
done in this matter, after the test now being
made with the Thomson-Houston motor was
finished. He said the company was not tied
to this motor. He denied that any prepara-
tions for a test between two cars of the same |
height, furnished with Thomson-Houston
and Westinghouse motor, were being made. |
In electrical circles the opinion prevails |
that the Duquesne road has big white ele- |
phant on its hands in its new motors. They |
are of the double reduction pattern, and |
this type has been discarded in constructing |
new lines in favor of the single reduction" |
motor, which has one gear, one pinion less |
than the other, and no intermediate shaft. |
This type is now being made by the other 1
companies, and no double reduction ma
chimes are longer thoughtof The DuQuesne |
is understood to have invested $250,OO0 in the 4
motors, and the next effort will be to make |
them as serviceable as possible.
