JEALOUS OTHER 70 ING n usBAND
A Wife Draws a Razor Across His Throat
at Midnight While He is Asleep.


Mrs. Clara Pitt. aged So, the elderly
wife of young molder named William
Pitt, is held at the police station under
charge Of assault which may possibly
be turned into one of assault with in
tent to commit murder. Her victim was
her husband, who Is is years or more
younger than his wife.
About 8 o'clock a. m. yesterday Mrs
Pitt awoke and drew razor across her
husbands throat. William woke up at
the touch of the cold steel and ran out
of the house in alright. He thought he
was dead man.
Mrs. Pitt on realizing what she had
done ran out of the house crazy with
apprehensions. Her course was towards
the creek where, it is stated, in one of
the innumerable bitches surrounding
the locality she attempted to drown her
self. The noise of the trouble aroused
the neighborhood and some of the
householders rescued the woman from a
watery or rather mud grave. She was
taken in and cared for.
Meanwhile the intense cold had
brought William Pitt to his senses, and
obtaining sufficient clothing, he rushed
down to the office of DIR. Henry Patter-
son, where his throat was sewn up. The
wound was not dangerous one. 1t
was four inches long and needed nine
stitches.
Pitt was arrested also and placed in
the station house, but was released this
morning.
1t is stated that the cause Of Mrs
Pitts act is intense jealousy of her hus.
band, whom she has charged with faith
lessness to her.

THE PACIFIC COAST.
To visit California and Mexico via Penn
sylvania Railroad.


No new feature ever inaugurated by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
attracted such universal comment and
attention as the series Of tours run early
this year to the far Pacific coast, and
now that another series is announccd for
1899, not only covering the Pacific coast
but an individualized tour to Mexico,
the land of the Aztec, is further illus
tration Of the wonderful growth of the
personally-conducted system of travel
ing and the progressive move of this
world famed railroad. Each tour will
be limited to acertain number of passen
gers, who will travel in Pullman YES
Thule train, furnished with the luxuri-
Gus appointments of the richest home,
with ladies' maid, stenographer and type
writer, library, bath and barber, and smok-
ing and library rooms, and an obserya-
ton car--in truth an exact reproduction
of the famous Pennsylvania Limited.
The first tour leaves New York January
18th, and speeds directly to the Pacific
coast via St. Louis, Kansas City, Las
Vegas, and Santa Fe. The second tour,
the Mexican, leaves February 10th, rum
ming direct to this City of Mexico via
Cincinnati, Mammoth Gave, Birming-
ham, Montgomery, and New Orleans,
| with incidental stops en- route. The
third, February Gath, runs directly to
New Orleans via Cincinnati and Nam
moth Cave, and thence, after the Mardi
Gras festivities, to the Pacific coast. The
fourth and fifth, both through California
tours, will leave March gath and April
goth, respectively.
The Inauguration Of this service last
year was the theme for universal com
ment, and the warmest credentials Of
praise bear testimony to the high
standard and perfection of every detail
promoting the comfort and enjoyment
| of the tourists.
Such an opportunity has never beer
presented before to the people Of the
east of thoroughly seeing the vas
boast of, as well as such an opportunity
of visiting the interesting land of The
Aztec, replete with ruins garlandet
with mythical lore. The rates for thu
round trip arc exceptionally low, ane
include not only all necessary travelling
expenses en- route to the Pacific coas
and return, but also side trips to the at
tractive resorts in California, and severa
carriage and stage rides OF interest,"
This applies as well to the Mexican tou
where the objective point will b.
the city of Mexico and side trips mad
from there, the rate including ever,
necessary expense as well as hotel &C
commodations and side trips.
Itineraries presenting the full detail
of the tours are in course Of preparation
and will be issued at an early day. Ii
the meantime more detailed information
may be secured by addressing Georg
w. Boyd, assistant general passenge
agent, Philadelphia, Pa.

PrTTsBURG, Pa, Oct. ga Roches-
ter, special says: Senator Quay was
called on at his home in Beaver at
o'clock this morning, and questioned as to
the certificate Of deposit for $S,S77 from
the keystone Bank to Bardsley, made
payable by him to Senator Quay
through the Beaver Deposit Bank, on
November goth, 1889.
He said his recollection of the details
of that transaction was rather indistinct,
but he was satisfied that the date of the
certificate given In the circular was a
forgery. He said SO because the trans
action had occurred he remembered
within 10 days prior to the election OIL
1889 and the certificate was dated Octo-
Der.
He had no doubt but that he could re-
fresh his memory by the Beaver bank
records this morning. In October, not
November, 1889, gave note to gentle
men representing the Republican city
committee of Philadelphia for $4,000,
upon which to raise that amount of
money for the campaign of that year.
| OF what was done with it know moth
ing personally except that the note was

the note less the discount, l have for

for the holders, taking certificate of

that deposited the certificate here and

| delphia.

from, can, and have no doubt will ex-
plain the transaction. | know nothing
Of Bardsley in it except that his name
appeared in connection with the certiti-
cate and had no communication with
him then or since upon the subject. ]
generally preserve my cancelled checks
and am satisfied that | can bring this
one up In the morning to prove what
have said.
[The certificate of deposit referred to
was unearthed yesterday. Concerning

correspondent says: Tangible evidence
of the intimate financial relations OF
John Bardsley and Matthew s. Quay
was discovered to-day. II is in the form
of due bill, which has always been the
fayorite means of maintaining assets in
the state and city treasures under ring
rule. The bill shows that Bardsley drew
from the keystone Bank on November
Goth, 1889, $s,877, and despatched Il
to Quay. 1t would be interesting tc
know where this money came from

CITY COURT CASES.
The Usual Array of DRINKS and Some
Cases of Greater Interest.

tAseb Oh oEGtbei kntGlest
At Police Court yesterday Michael
Iruka, Barney Dougherty, Frederick
Landorf and John. Lynch were fined So
and costs or 20 days for drunkenness.
Thomas Ryan, John Gilfoy and John
McCarren were each fined 81 and costs
for the same cause. William Lewis, for
disorderly conduct was fined So and
costs or 20 days.
Jesse Welsh, a driver Of one of the
Wilmington Transfer teams was fined
$40 for driving his team on the pave
ment at Malone's marble yard on Della
ware avenue to unload large piece OF
marble at point designated by Mr..
Malone.
Annie johnson and Sarah Hinson,
both colored, was arraigned for keeping
a house of ill-fame at No 107 Water
street. Sarah was discharged but Annie
was fined $50 and costs.
Ida Hinson and Alkaline Hamilton,
colored, charged with disorderly con-
duct in house on East Liberty street,
Tuesday night, were each fined $40 and
costs. When they were being taken
from the prisoners dock to the lower
regions of the hall they laughed and
called to each other in a very boisterous
manner and created considerable confu-
sion. Judge Ball recalled them into the
dock and said "You now have 80 days
imprisonment at New Castle in addition
to the $40 fine" This time the two women
left the dock as meek as lambs without
a smile.
JOHN Sim, charged with assault and
battery on James Quinn, was arraigned
and evidence heard tending to show
that the blow Quinn received was given
| by the clinched fist of Sim and not by
a blackjack or other blunt instrument.
The physician who attended Mr.. Quinn
in his illness resulting from the effects
of the blow testified in court few days
| ago that it was impossible to iniiict o
wound, the kind that Mr.. Quinn was
| suffering from, unless some kind of a
weapon was used. The case was CON
tinued until tomorrow morning to have
the physician present to hear the testi
mony in contradiction.
William H. Faulkner, colored, charged
with the larceny of six chickens from
Elizabeth Davis of No. 1T04 Lincoln
street, was held for the upper cour
under 5000 bail. Faulkner does no
seem to be suffering any from the effect
of the pistol shot in the back Of hi
head, received while trying to escape thu
officers the night of his thieving expedi
ton. When collared by Captain Ker
sey, Faulkner said: What do you peo
| pie mean, shooting at a man like he wa
a rabbit? Pse done nothing, and onl,
run because / was afraid of getting
shot,

great seriousness of the crime charged
against the prisoners, how 1t strikes
against the foundations of government.
He told the story of the testimony and
claimed that there was no way OF
escape for the defendants as the facts
given In evidence demanded convic-
ton.
Following some very brief instruc
tons from the court the case was then
given to the jury.
ANDERSON AND Andy.
The two colored men, Isaac Anderson
and Joseph Andy, charged with COM
plicity in the conspiracy of Moses
Frisby to defraud the government,
was next taken up. Both prisoners
pleaded guilty. Mr.. Watson stated
that the men are technically guilty but
the wrong they did was not done SO in
tentionally. He asked for light pun
ishment on the men. The sentence of
the court was two months imprison-
ment and fine Of $1,000 in each case.
FRIsBY GETS THREE YEARS.
Moses Frisby was then ordered to
stand up.
aYou have received fair trial." said
the court. "You have been indicted for
the very serious offence Of imporsonat-
| ing the sole surviving brother of de-
ceased soldier in order to obtain GER
tain sum of government money. The
court entirely agrees with the verdict
and believes you are guilty Of the
| offence. The money belongs to Andrew,
the father of James Frisby.
"The sentence is that you pay the
/ lata In, hat xrnt1 40 i'm.
prisoned three years at hard labor"
Judge Wales had hardly finished
speaking when the heavy stolid features
OF Moses frightened up and he raised
his hand as If desiring to speak to the
court.
Judge Wales inquired what it was he
desired.
MOSES HAS A CHOICE.
"Do understand" said Moses, "that
1t is three years--then can have my
choice to stay at New Castle?"
Judge Wales acceded to the prisoners
prayer.
Robert Cassidy and John Harkins
were ordered to stand up. The court
inquired whether they had anyone to
speak for them as to character. Gas
sidy is not yet 81 years Of age and Har-
kins is only 10. After some delay Har-
kins' father appeared. He was in dis.
tress over his sons trouble. Judge
Wales kindly walked over to the end OF
the bench and listened to the fathers
plea. Apparently the court was very
10th to sentence the young men. Fol
this offence the maximum penalty il
$4,000 fine and 10 years Imprisonment
The sentence was that each prisoner b.
, fined $1,000 and costs and beimprisonet
at hard labor for one year.
1t seems that In regard to Nose
Frisby's request of choice of prison
that he might have been sent to Alban.
! or some other place of Federal deten
ton. The government keeps stand
ing account for its prisoners at certain
, designated prisons.
The mutilated silver coin which cam
. up in evidence in the Cassidy Harkin
case was returned to Secret Servic

EGAN GETS THE BLAME.
The Valparaiso AFFAIR Was Due to His
General Unpopularity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--To-day's develop
ments in the CHILEAN affair make it clearer
than ever that the renewed trouble with
that country is due to the unfortunate
course of Minister Egan in allowing him
self to become identified with Balmaceds.
Senior Montt, one of the CHILEAN repre-
sentatives here, called at the state depart
ment to-day and explained to Mr.. Blaine
why il was that the CHILEAN populace are
particularly incensed against the United
States cruiser Baltimore and why, in con-
sequence, the sailors from that vessel were
attacked in Valparaiso.
Senior Montt, it is said, informed Mr..
Blaine that the hostility to the Baltimore
grew out of the course of the commander
Of that vessel Just before the decisive battle
about Valparaiso in which the congress
sional forces won. The CHILEAN representa-.
tive declared that when the congressional
forces landed on the coast below Val
paraiso, preparatory to the final assault on
Balmaceda's army. the Baltimore, detecting
that something was afoot, steamed down
and watched the movement.
EeAN BETRAYs THE SECRET.
As soon as the officers of the vessel saw
what was going on they, FASTENED to in
form Minister Egan. That gentleman
Senior Montt claims, at once impaired the
information to Balmaceda, thus saving
him and his army from the surprise tnt
Congressionalists had prepared for them
If the Baltimore had not betrayed theil
movements, the Congressionalists assert
Balmaceda's army would have been cap
tured almost without chance to resis
and thousands of lives would have beer
saved on both sides.
In contrast with the conduct of tn,
American war-ship it is alleged that tn
other foreign men-of-war at Valparaiso re
manned stationary. in no way takini
notice of the movements of the Congress
| ionalist army. Senior Mont told MI
| Blaine to-day that it was the knowledge o
this conduct on the part of the officers OF
the Baltimore that had particularly embit
| tered the Chilians against that vessel an
| all on board Of her, as well as against MI
Eagan. As to the latter, Senior Montt
said to have informed MIR, Blaine that h
would never be acceptable to the presen
Gillian government and its adherents an
that if he were recalled the relations be
tween the two countries would ut ono
become less strained AS long as Eaga
remained in Chill the people would te,
that ali affront was being put upon ther
by this government.
