DROWNED WHILE BATHING,
Thomas Kinney, Overcome With Cramp
Sinks Beneath the Waters

Thomas Kinney, Overcome With Cramps,
Sinks Beneath the Waters.
Thomas Kinney, puddler at Carnegie's
Twenty-ninth street mill, together with his
brother Daniel and two other men, were
swimming in the Allegheny river at the
foot of Twenty-sixth street yesterday after
noon. AT this p oint there are a number of
RATS and coal barges anchared. Thomas
Kinney dove under one of the RATS and
when he came out at the other end of the
timber cramps came on and he drowned
before his friends reached him. All after
noon the river was dragged for his body,
but it was not found. The suggestion is
that it is under the RATS.
Kinney lived with his brother in Spring
alley, between Twenty-sixth and Twenty
seventh streets. He was about 40 years of
age and married.

A sADDER AND WISER WOMAN

Is the Widow Alexander, Who Welded an
Oregon Ranchman on the Strength of an
Advertisement-Good Words From New
York State NeighbOrs.
CHICAGO, Dec 29-Win6eld S. Jeffer-
son, whose bride of day jumped from q
window of the Atlantic Hotel to escape
him, pleaded with her to-day at police
headquarters that he did not care for her
money but loved her for herself alone, and
tried to induce her to accompany him to his
ranch in Oregon. This the woman de-
clined to do, and informed Jefferson in very
plain terms that she never wished to see
him. Jefferson left, saying he did not know
what he would do.
Mrs Jefferson had partly recovered from
the injuries received by her leap for liberty.
She says she acted very foolishly, but now
that it is all over she is glad of it, and upon
the arrival OF her friends will return to her
home in Undertook, N. Y, much wiser
woman than when she left.
A dispatch from Hudson, N. Y, says:
In reference to the report which comes from
Chicago in relation to the young widow of
Richard Alexander, late of Kinderhook,
the Register this evening says: 'Those in
this CITY and county-and there are hosts of
from childhood and followed her through
her womanhood as wife and helpmate of the
late Richard Alexander will not believe
that she has been guilty of wrong-doing.
We all know that she assisted her husband
in accommodating their moderate fortune and
their pretty home in Kinderhook. After
her husbands death she heroically took
charge of his extensive business and by her
energy increased it until the burden of care
became too exacting for weak woman,
even with the vigor and ambition of Mrs.
Alexander.
''She sought retirement and neede ed rest
and, as the sequel proves, married a man
unworthy of her. From published accounts
he proved to be scoundrel, and the clerk
at the hotel where they stopped worse than
brute. Both deserve severe punishment.
The widow of Richard Alexander will find
in Columbia county sympathizing friends
who are ready to avenge any wrong or
treachery to which she may have been sub
iected.p

New York's Underground Commissioners

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Unusual interest
centered about the auction sale of the Un-
derground Rapid Transit franchise, which
took place in the City Hall to-day. The
sale was not successful, from the Rapid
Transit Commissioners point of view, and
the two bids made by Lawyer ". Nowland
Amory were taken under consideration by
the committee through the auctioneer,
Eugene L. Bushe.
Mr.. Amory bid $500 cash, and in addition
agreed for the corporation to be organized
to construct, maintain and operate the
Rapid Transit Railway; that said corpora
tion shall give the City of New York one
half of per cent per annum of its gross
receipts from operation during the whole
term OF lease.
''Can make an alternate bid?" queried
Mr.. Amory, acting on the suggestion of
friend. There was no immediate reply and
he then offered to strike out everything but
the figures in his first bid.
'The commissioners will consider any bid
made" Mr.. Bushe said, after conferring
with his fellow commissioners Later in
the day the bids were rejected. The Rapid
Transit Commissioners late this afternoon
decided to give up for the present the plan
of selling the franchise.

last night by Steve Metorf, who has been

in one of their resorts last night until, at
an early hour this morning, Metorf got up
from the table, fiat broke. Suddenly the
sense of losing all the little money he had
seemed to craze him. He drew a clasp
knife and drove it into Seurctski's breast.
Then the assassin brandished his knife and
shouted in exultation, while the gang stood
helpless, even to lift the dying man from
the floor where he had fallen.
Metorf made no effort to escape, and
finally one of the Huns sprang out and ran
for doctor. With the physician came an
officer, who arrested Metorf The injured
man will probably not live through the
night, as the blade of the knife penetrated
the chest cavity close to the heart, and the
hemorrhages have been frightiul. George

work during the holiday recess But two
members have been at the Capitol Senators
Chandler and Mitchell The former is now
in New York, and while in Washington is
devoting his best efforts to the subject of
immigration and quarantine matters, so that
what Is done falls to the lot of Mr.. Mitchell.
''The committee is not assuming any
dictatorial powers" said Mr.. Mitchell this
morning. "On the contrary, we are acting
simply as an advisory board and holding
ourselves ready to give advice when called
upon. The committee has had no meeting re-
Gently, but we are gathering all the informa-
tion we can and watching both sides of the
cases. so that when the contests reach the
Senate, as they will, perhaps we will be in
possession of the facts and understand their
merits better than we would otherwise.
There is really nothing new save the fact
that IN two Of the States at least the courts
have acted, and in Wyoming the Demo
Gratis have gained point in the matter OF
organization of the Lower House of the
Legislature. So far as the Republican
members of the Senate are concerned it is
their intention to see, so far as may be in
their power, that the legal choice of the
States is the man elected to the Senate, re-
gardless of what his politics may be. :"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-FoIlowing the
allegations of wrongdoing on the part of
Count de Lesseps, growing out of the
Panama canal scandal, comes the assertion
that suspicion of his entire honesty was ex-
cited as far back as 1879 in the minds of
members of Congress, and while the fact
that suspicion did exist cannot be verified,
some interesting information that until now
did not have its significance may be OBJ
tanned from a review of the history of the
canal project in the Congress of the United
States. On December 49, 1S79 the House
of Representatives adopted a resolution
empoW ering a select committee ''to exam
inc into the subject of the selection of
suitable route for the construction of an

OF the II men who served on the COM
mittee, some are dead, while others have
retired into obscurity, leaving only one re-
naming in Congress-Senator Frye, of
Maine. When asked to-day concerning
his impression of the trustworthiness of
Count de Lesseps and his associates in the
matter, as gained from the testimony of de
Lesseps and others before the select COM
mittee, Senator Frye said his impressions
of the inquiry were very indistinct, but he
was certain he had no suspicion at the time
chat De Lesseps was not the honorable man
he had always been represented to be.

National and Railroad System Schemes
Discussed by Brotherhood Chiefs.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec. 29-The chief
officers of the conductors, switchmen, train
men, fremen and telegraphers have been
holding secret conference in this city to-
day with federation for the chief topic of
discussion. The session occupied the entire
day, and when completed but little had
really been accomplished except that most
of the representatives had shown they are
in favor of some sort of union.
Two plans were produced at the confer
ence-'tNational Federation" binding on
all members wherever located, and ''Sys-
tenn Federation" which would leave the
members employed on any system of rail-
road to decide whether they would unite,
and such union would be binding on them
alone. No decision could be reached A
committee of one from each delegation was
appointed to draft plan and submit it to-
morrow morning. Nothing is known as to
which plan would be reported. Unless
luminous consent can be gained no fedora
tion will be formed.
