UNDERGROUND Roads Proposed In Philadelphia
Some years ago the Metropolitan Under
ground Railroad Company took out charter
for the construction Of lines on Broad, Market
Third, Ridge avenue and other streets in Phila-
delphia, but the project never got any further.
1t has been revived now by John Lucas, one of
the original projectors, who is endeav oring to
interest capitalists in it, so as to be in time to
head of an elevated structure. The Lehigh
Valley railroad is about to get freight terminals
in Philadelphia through the Belt Line road and
Mr.. Lucas proposes to give it a passenger ter
minal at Market street by way Of the Broad
Street Underground road. The construction of
an elevated road would postpone for a long
time building Of competing underground line
30 the advocates of the latter, though in favor
Of rapid transit, are actively opposing the grant
Of privileges to elevated railroad companies.

Complaints From the Swatara.

There is considerable talk at the Mare Island
navy yard, San Francisco, over the treatment
of the crew on the United States steamer Swar
tara The captain, it is claimed, kept the men
prisoners, and they were not allowed on shore
Christmas day, nor were the men given the
customary thirty-six hours furlough every
three months, as the rules of the navy allow
Instead of fresh meat the marines were fed ON
old salt horse and hard tack. 1t is said the
storekeeper makes IS month off each sailor
by means of poor food. The government will
be asked to investigate.

A Story With . Point.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Jay Gould tells the following little story,
which is not without a moral: Daniel Drew
once went into a tabernacle where sinners were
confessing their crimes. There was one man
humping his chest and accusing himself of
SO many awful offenses that Drew became hor-
riied. Turning to the man next to him he in
quired:
my friend, who is this man who has done
these awful things?'
II don't know who he u.s." the stranger said
to Drew, "but guess from his account Of him
self he must be Daniel Drew

CRAZY MURDERER TAKES HIS LIFE.
JESSE LOCKWOOD DRINKS CUP OF KEROSENE

JESSE LOCKWOOD DRINKS A CUP OF KEROSENE
RED PEPPER AND ALCOHOL.
Jesse Lockwood, the old man who fatally assaulted
his wife while cYaZed with the grip at North salem,
Westchester County, took his own life on Wednesday
night by drinking cupful of kerosene oil, mixed with
red pepper and alcohol Ever since the tragedy which
caused the death of his wife, Lockwood had been
in the custody Of Deputy Sheriff Haock at his farm
house. 1t was decided to keep Lockwood at the
farmhouse until after the funeral Of his wife, which
is to take place to-day, and then commit him to
an insane asylum. Deputy Sheriff Hallock dd not
watch the old man closely.
Lockwood went to bed about O'Clock and after
he had been asleep some time Hallock also fell into a
doze The house was quiet and nobody was present
excepting Hallock the unatc and the corpse OF the
murdered woman in the next room. Some time during
the night Lockwood stealthy left his bed and taking
up can Of OIL poured the contents into cup
He next mixed in a quantity OF red pepper and
alcohol with the kerosene He then drank the mixture
and went to bed. When Deputy Sheriff Hallock went
to the bedside several hours later, he found his
prisoner a corpse
The double tragedy has caused considerable excite
ment in the neighbOFhOod. There will be double
funeral to-day when the aged couple will be buried side
by side the rural cemetery on the hill. Lockwood
had shown signs of insanity for some time and his
actions Of late have been those Of religious fanatic.
Some months ago he became enthusiast religion.
He gave up his farm work and started out to canvass
the surrounding country sell Bibles and catechisms.
He was often seen on the public highways praying and
asking his hearers and neighbors TO join him In pray
ing to the Lord that their sins be forgiven them.
Lockwood often told his ncighbors that the Lord
had called upon him TO make human sacrifice and
that his wife was to be the person whom the Lord
had directed him to offer up. Little attention was
maid 10 these remarks by the ncighbors Just after
he had recovered from the grip, which 1t Is
said made him violently insane at the time, he
ent IN the little Methodist church and there tolled the
church bell for his wifcs funeral This few day
before he assaulted her. The neghbors thought that
this was only another act OF his eccentricity.
Lockwood was seventy years Of age and his wife
sixty-1ye on Wednesday evening it is said, he was
heard TO remark God has sent for me now and hear
nv wife calling for me- II Is believed that Lockwood
suddenly nwoke during the night and in OF his re-
Ieous fenzies took his life. Since his wfe's death he
had become somewhat rational and at times converse
in An intelligent manner but adhered to his former as
sortion that God for his wife and he had 70
send her to heaven. Both he and his wife had suffered
from the grip for some time.
Coroner Dews viewed the body Of lockwood and
after impanelng jury adjourned both inquests unti
Monday afternoon at O'Clock.
