NINE. BERG's SUICIDE.
Sensational Demise of the Daugh
ter of a Swedish Merchant.

Sensational Demise of the Daugh-
ter of a Swedish Merchant.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-Mme. Augusta
Berg, a Swedish artist forty years OF
age, and living at the Metropolitan
hotel, died last night from the effects of
morphine, supposed to have been taken
with suicidal intent. She left two let
tiers, one to the Swedish consul, direct
ing him to send her effects to her daugh-
ter, and the other directed to some
naval officer. Nine. Berg had been lly-
ing at the hotel for some time past. No
cause was assigned for the act.
The coroner examined the effects of
the deceased woman. The letters dis
closed the fact that the woman had a
companion named Mrs. Virginia BauS-
man, who was with her at the hotel
from Dec. 20 until Jan. 8, last There
are evidences that the two women led a
careless and happy life, going to theaterS
and spending money quite freely: Mrs.
BauSman is daughter OF Mrs. Joseph
inc Knox, of Virginia, and her husband
resides at GordonSville, Va. For some
reason Mrs. BauSman has not lived with
her husband of late. One of the letters
found was in Mrs. Berg'S room was
1lUUl tLG dIlAlOuS lluoOrllNt WAlGDSh " II 10
wife's mother, Mrs. Knox. In it he
asked for information concerning his
wife and says that he will pay her board
bills, but not bar bills or amounts
charged for breakfast served in her bed
room. This letter had been forwarded
by Mrs. Knox to Mrs. Berg. The letter
to the naval officer was directed to
Lieut. Walter Sears, U. S. steamship
NeSuViuS 1t reads:
Dear Walter: have sent you note to-day.
She has not been at home tonight, so am
anxious about her and don't know what to
do. Come and see me as early as possible.
AUGUSTA.
The Swedish consul said that Mrs.
Berg was daughter of merchant who
resided in Stockholm, Mrs. Berg being
the Youngest of four children. Her
brother. Herr G. Stenhesser, is general
superintendent of three railroads in
Sweden. Mrs. Berg's husband was a
merchant at Stockholm. He died sew
eral years ago, leaving daughter and
small estate. The daughter is now six
teen years old and at school in Sweden

j. W. Midgley Will Be Chair
y man Of the Entire
! Outfit.
Chairman Finley Utters q
Second Ukase Regarding
Tickets.
President Miller Knows Moth
ing of the Alleged Con-
Solidati0n.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-At the meeting of
the Western Passenger association to-
day resolutions were adopted consoli-
dating three divisions of the associa-
ton, to take effect Feb. IA. j. W.
Midgley will, after that date, be chair
man of the entire association, instead
of merely of the Southwestern division.
while G. N. Osgood, who has been act
ing chairman of the Western and
Northwestern divisions since the retire
ment of j. n Faithorn, will probably
accept a secretaryship under Mr..
Midgley. The change, it appears,
amounts to nothing more than the
uniting of the several divisions
under one chairman and does not
carry with it any alteration in
the agreement, rules or name of the as
ISOLATION. 1t was with this understand
ing that the Chicago & Alton and the
Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City roads
voted for the measure. 1t was found
that any attempt to merge the associa-
ton into the Western Traffic association
would certainly be defeated by the
roads that have not signed the presi-
dents agreement and no proposition to
that effect was made. There was no
objection from any source to the change
as made, as it does not alter the status
of any of the lines in the association.
The Alton has always been in favor of
one chairman only and labored to that
end for several days in ST. Louis when
the association was organized.

SERIOUS SHORTAGE.

Rumor of Deficiency in the
Pennsylvania Adjutant Generals
Office.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 10.-A rumor
that shortage of nearly 100000 has
been found in the accounts ofsAdjutant
General Hastings created a sensation at
the capital to-day The generals friends
were 10th to believe the story, as he
had made such a brilliant record with
the national guard. Inquiry developed
the reason the rumor hangs. The
retiring administration had left a
heavy deficiency for the new
administration to carry. The
amount of the deficiency is not yet
known, as bills are still coming in, but
already the figures reach nearly $780,
600. The annual appropriation of
100000 for the maintenance of the
guard has been exhausted, and 1.-the Or
binary way of meeting the deficiency
would be by paying the bills out of
next years Appropriation. This is not
an unusual condition of affairs in the
adiutant general office; indeed it is said
therei has been deficiency there for
ten years past. and that with each
change of administration a larger
amount of debts has been left.

Gen. Sherman Seriously Ill.

NEW YoRL, Feb. 1O.-The meager re-
ports that were attainable early in the
evening concerning Gen. Sherman
proved to be very good guide to the
actual condition of affairs. Later Gen.
Sherman'S daughter was seen and asked
the true facts relative to the generals
condition. She said:
HIS condition tonight is very serious, but
not hopeless. The doctors do not look for
any change until tomorrow evening at the
earliest. Erysipelas has set in and father is
suffering great deal of pain.
At 1:2O o'clock this morning the
lights in the hall OF the Sherman resi-
dence were turned down low. Miss
Rachel Sherman was seen at this hour.
She said her father was at that hour
resting quietly. and that DR.. Alexander
would remain with him all night as a
precautionary measure, not, however,
because anything serious was appre-
hended at once. The erysipelas had de-
veloped, Miss Sherman said, Sunday,
and not yesterday.

STORM FATALITY.
Death OF Charles Kalkbrenner in

Death Of Charles Kalkbrenner in
Blizzard.
Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY. S. D., Feb. 10.-Meta
Gray, the young school teacher, and
Grant Bay. reported to have persisted
Saturday, reached shelter and are safe
and we'll. Charles ,Kalkbrenner. youth
thirteen years of age, residing on
ranch between Elk and Box Elder
creeks, about thirty miles from Rapid
City, persisted in the storm. The story
is sad one. The boy, accompanied
by his brother, child of nine
years, left this city with a
load of lumber for home last Friday
afternoon, proposing to stop at friends
about ten miles this side of their ranch.
Some distance out they encountered
storm, and, unhitching, mounted the
horses and continued on their way. The
younger brother states that when about
three-quarters of mile from their des-
tination for the night he lost sight of
his brother, who had dropped behind.
He continued Oh to the farm house, sup
posing that his brother would follow.
He was found dead next day near his
horse, which became tangled in wire
fence and had frozen to death.

The cOmmemoration of Christ's fast
ing in the wilderness begins to-day, and
the Christian world turns its thoughts
from frivolity to the more serious things
which concern the soul. The ideal man
is the one who never lies fallow, but
whose alterations of work or vaca
ton are so imperceptible that he never
knows when ones ended and the other
begun. And in the same way the ideal
man lives with the fear of death and his
eternal future before his eyes at all
times, so that seasons Of special prepare
ton and meditation are not needed.
There is only one of us here and there,
however, who does not Overwork at one
time and rest unnecessarily at another;
and only one or two who are not con-
sumed by the tinsel and the conflict of
daily life SO completely. for the most
port, that if the church did not force on
our attention the demands of weighter
things they would get no consideration
from US at all.
The significance and value Of Christ'S
fasting to Himself was that it fitted and
helped Him for the years of earnest
work which were to follow. He does
not appear to have subjected Himself to
physical pain and suffering simply for
their own sakes. His Lent was wrest-
ling in spirit, during which He fought
against the allurements of sin and am
bition and neryed His human nature for
patient toll of an humble character for
the worlds good. The Christian in our day
gets the same assistance from periods of
fasting and prayer. and at the same
time is brought nearer Christ Himself
by following His example. One season
of forty days and forty nights was suffi-
cent preparation for Christ for His
whole task which followed: and when
the tempter had once been put down He
was ready to make His way to Jerusa-
lem in spite OF the hardShips of the road
and the fate which awaited Him. But
we are as unstable as water. We adj
vance and we recede. We lose our
courage in the darkness. and we renew
it again at break ofday. Now we make
steadily for the harbor. superior to the
waves, and then a sudden gust of wind
carries off our sails and we float help
less amid the whirlpOols. For weak
creatures like us, Lent coming once
year comes none too often, because our
strength is not equal to our burden I'M
less it is constant ly reinforced from
without.

They have $500 freight cars, and they had
fled an order with the Westinghouse COM
pany at Pittsburg-the only place they
can be obtained-for eight hundred
air-brake attachments, but owing to that con-
Germ being crowded with orders, they have
thus far only been able to procure 125 attach
ments. The air-brake and patent coupling
attachments cost somewhat more than SS5
per car. so that it would cost his company
about S72S. 600 to comply, with the provisions
tachments as rapidly as they should order
them, they could not adjust them to engines
and cars at a greater rate than 500 per year,
so that it would absolutely require ten or nj,
teen years TO comply with the provisions OF
the bill with the present capacity OF their
shops
Col. Clough, Of the Great Northern, said
the appliances would cost about 800 car,
and 1t would be an immense cost to his road
to put them on their 5000 freight cars. He
said there are about 10000 cars in use in the
state on all the roads. and that it would en-
tail an outlay of thirty or forty millions OF
dollars to comply with the provisions OF the
bill.
A letter was received from the editor Of
the Northwestern Railroader, which con-
tanned a statement that the twelve railroads
in the state had in January of this year 2, LA
engines without the brake, aud it would cost
3d. 47, 400 to put the brakes on them. There
are 9S. 1876 freight cars without the air brake,
and it would cost Sc, 39S, $40 to equip them,
and there are u.s. 436 freight cars without the
patent couplers. and it would cost S2,6O5,
592 to attach them to these cars, making
a total cost of $40, 27S, 332 He said it would
be great expense, but he believed the roads
would in time adopt the appliances gener-
ally. W. H. Truesdale. OF the Minneapolis d
St. Louis road, said he regarded the bill as a
great hardship, and it would require ten
years to equip the cars on his road with the
appliances. besides, as his road was
in the hands Of a receiver.
it would be necessary to secure
an order of court to allow the expenditure OF
the 100000 necessary to purchase the appli-
ances. w. G. Hayes, of Minneapolis, who
represents the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen, said that he was in
strdcted again, as he had formerly been. to
urge the passage of the bill, but thought the
time should be extended to the year 1900.
Representatives Furlong, MCGUIRE, and one
or TWO other members of the committee,
asked several pointed questions as to the
purpose of the roads, and as to q prospect of
decrease in the mortality of railway en-
ployes as result Of general use of the APP
planes, which were answered by Col.
CIough. The committee postponed further
action on the pill until another meeting.
House File No. rs, relating to crossings and
gorges, was next considered, and The COM
mittee decided to report it back, with a
recommendation that it do pass.

RATE CUTTING.
1t Is Said to Have Been Greatly
Exaggerated.

CHICAGO. Feb. 10. - The monthly
meeting of the freight department of
the Central Traffic association was be-
gun to-day. Chairman Blanchard ad-
dressed the meeting on the genera, stu
alton, and in the course of his remarks
declared that the reports of rate cutting
by the lines leading eastward from Chi
cago were greatly exaggerated, if not
wholly false. He said that careful in
vestigations had been made, and he was
convinced that there had never been a
time i'll the. history of the association
when rates were so uniformly MAIN
tanned as the present. His remarks on
this subject were called out by the fire.
quently published reports that grain
rates are being manipulated by the
Nickel Plate and Lackawanna lines.
The association adopted appropriate
resolutions relative to the death of Vice
President j. N. Mccullough, of the
Pennsylvania company, and adjourned
until tomorrow,

..TICKETS. PLEASE"
Chairman Finley Publishes One
More Edict.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O-Chairman Finley,
asserting the authority vested in him
by the agreement of the Western Pas
senger association, has notified the gen
eral passenger agents of the Union Pa
cific, the Denver 81 Rio Grande, the Rio
Grande Western and the Colorado Mid
land that the lines IN his association
will, on and after Feb. II, refuse to
honor tickets of their issue, requiring
the signatures of purchasers when such
signatures are omitted. 1t has been dis
covered that the roads named have been
departing to some extent from the rule
which requires that all such tickets
shall be signed by the purchaser in the
presence of the agent selling the ticket,
and Chairman Finley has chosen this
method of correcting the evil. The
Union Pacific is the only one of these
roads that is itself member of the as
ISOLATION.
