4 MURDkRous YOUNG alRI.
She Tried to XIII Another Girl, but Failed I,
the Attempt.

| the Attempt.
Lizzie Gross, . colored girl sixteen year
old. was locked up at the third precinc,
station early last evening on charge Of simple
assault and she was frank enough to tell the
officers that it was her intention to be charged
with murder. Further than that she said she
| would get out Of Jail some time and then she
would cut up her victim.
The victim was a sixteen-year-old coloreG
| girl named Mollie jackson. Mollie is an ordi
| nary-looking colored girl, while Lizzie Is mucl
| better looking than the average female. Hei
mother was an Indian and her father a negro
The mother died some time ago and her father
| is living in San Antonio, Texas.
Lizzie was placed under arrest about seven
months ago for stealing from her employer
| and at that time she threatened to kill her EN-
pioyer when she got out. Owing to her threats
| Judge Miller gave her the maximum penalty.
six months in Jail. About a month ago she
was released.
Since her release she has been seen in the
vicinity Of her former employers house and
the ofiicl were informed that she was armed.
but THAT she never got an opportunity to put
her threat into execution.
When Lizzie was released from Jail she
learned that Mollie was responsible tor ru-
NOR that she Uizzie) had been in the peniten-
tiary.
This information caused Lizzie to make ND
her mind to murder Moilie, but she did not go
around telling people Of her intention. She
waited for an opportunity to get Mollie in a
secluded spot, but the opportunity
did not present itself, and so when the
girls met near Washington Circle Monday night,
Lizzie attempted to persuade Mollie to go with
her to "Snow's Row." but Mollie was suspicious
OF her companions intention and she declined
the invitation. ,-. .- =
Seeing she could not persuade Mollie to go
with her. Lizzie drew knife and cut her
throat. but the wound made was not deep
enough to injure her badly. .....
When questioned by Judge Miller Lizzie ad-
mitted her guilt and said she wanted 70 get
Mollie in SHOWS Rows to Use the knife on
her, and she also said that she bought the knife
for 70 cents, intending to use it ON Mollie.
Judge Miller said that the only thing he saw
to do was to keep the gill in jail for life. He
thought if she could be gotten in a state re-
formatory where she could not get out for a
long time it might possibly do her some good.
The judge said ne would do all he could to
keep her out OF the way for some timo and
gave her one year in Jail

This New Building Will he Opened to the
Public Next Week.
Next Tuesday the doors of the Hotel Coch-
ran, at the corner of l4th and streets will be
thrown open to the public. They have been
sufficiently ajar to allow few people
to get in who are now occupying
But the fact il, the furnishing of
the large building is just being
completed. and it is expected that by Monday
evening, when the proprietor. Mr.. W. F. Paige,
has invited q number of newspapers to private

about all the details will be completed. Like
the exterior of the building, which is a harmo-
NOUS design, worked ont with brick and stone
and terra Gotta, the interior is marked by good
taste and quiet elegance.
The hotel is not a mammoth caravsnsary. but
it is q good-sized building containing l54
singly or en- snite. To each suite there is q
private hallway and private bath room,
and the carpets, haugings and furniture
have been selected with q discriminating
eye to avoid the disagreeable feature of mo-
notony. There lie a degree of elegance and
richness attained in the furniture which is UNI
usual in a hotel. and at the same time mere
gaudy display has been avoided. A quiet
artistic taste has guided the selection OF tie
carpets, the hangings and the cover
ings Of the furniture, SO that O
harmony Of colors in the rooms has
been attained which will be found grateful TO
the eyes of the weary traveller. All the appoint
ments Of the hotel are complete. and even il
the interior was less attractive the magnificent
views to be obtained from the windows would
make this hotel notable.
The proprietor, Mr.. ". r. Paige, has been
running the kaatesrkill Hotel, and il he had
brought along with him some OF the extended
views which make the location of that hotel
famous he could hardly have added TO the
attractions Of the present location. The hotel

There was C good deal Of crowd in the Gen.
ter Market armory drill hail last night. brought
thither by knowledge OF the fact that prizes
were to be distributed TO those members Of the
District National Guard who had distinguished
themselves on the range last week. Many Of
the visitors were ladies and most Of them we're
interested in those who were to be decorated
The occasion wns 4 somewhat novel one. There
have been medal presentations in the past, but
they were on a smaller scale. The rife compe-
titions which were held a week ago were more
numerous and wider in scope than any of their
predecessors and the rewards increased ac-
eordingly.
Only the fifth battalion parsded; its team had
captured the Ordlvay prize and that compelled
the battalion to turn out Maj X. A. y Bren
and his command were in position when. Mt
about O'Clock. Gen. Ordwny. accompanied by
several members of his stGf-including Col.
Long. Maj. Pollard. Capt Singleton, Capt.
Schwartz and Capt. Horton--eniered the drill
hall.
JHE PRIZES DISPLAYED.
On big table near the center Of the eastern
wall were numerous medals and prizes. More
prominent than any of the other articles were
the bronze trophy won at Sea Girt las. August
by the first regiment team and the Rogers
figure of Bob Acres, donated a prize by J.
W. Boteler K Son and won by Capt James E.
Bell Both of these works of art attracted a
great deal OF attention. Alongside the table
and fastened up the fronts of a couple of
lockers was a huge sheet of paper, upon which
Sergt- Roginski had painted list of the prizes

winners ir the match.

When the winners in the various matches had
formed in line on the left OF the fifth battalion
Gen Ordway addressed the assemblage He
spoke with evident qualification OF the great
strides made IN rifle practice during the past
year, compared the results with the insignif-
cant figures Of a year ago, and commended
those who had labored to bring about
such valuable Improvement. Especially did the
general dwell upon the services rendered by
tie inspectors of rifle practice and in no hest
tatils manner did be criticise those who had
grumbled because inspectors were competitors
IN the matches The general called attenti n
TO the fact that for two years the inspectors
had been doing duty a. instructors. when tho
proper persons to impart instructions to the
companies were the captains

After concluding his remarks, which were
