ABSOLUTELY PURE
Cut His Own Head OF.

ERIE. Pa, December 2.-An attempt
at wife murder, followed 10y a most hor-
rible suicide, occurred he.e yesterday af-
ternoon. Joseph Kane, 30 years OF age,
has been for some time on bad terms
with his wife, on account of his own
irregularities. Since Monday last the
couple have not lived together Mrs.
Kane taking her children and going To
her parents on East Twelfth street.
Shortly after noon yesterday Mrs.
Kane west to a neighbor's House to vIs-
it, About O'Clock the husband, who
was starting out on a duckhunting eN-
pidition with some companions, learned
of his wife's presence at the house OF
neighbOr, went to the door, called her
outside. With no warning whatever he
began shooting at her at close range.
She sliced his arm, but in spite of her
struggles, she received one bullet in her
hand and another just above the temple.
Six shots were fired. Kane pushed his
wife into a deep gully, about 200 feet
from the house, where he left her for
dead.
Flourishing his revolver, Kane started
toward the Philadelphia and Erie yards.
He entered deep cut near the soldiers
home, and approached some side tracked
coal cars, which were heavily laden and
standing on steep grade. He un-
coupled one of them, looSened the air
brakes, and then, before 1t acquired
much momentum, ran distance ahead
and deliberately laid his neck across he
rail
With increasing speed the car rushed
down upon him and completely severed
the head from his body, while a number
of hapless spectators looked on with hOr-
ror The car was caught before it did
any more damage. 1t is uncert ln
whether Mrs. Kane will live or not

A - eriOns Collision.

An express train running 40 miles an
hour collided with two double header To-
comOtiveS at Pennsville, on the South
west Pennsylvania railroad, Monday.
Thirteen persons were injured. Among
the number is 4. J. Pitcairn, of Puts
burg, cousin of Superintendent Robert
Pitcairn, the conductor of the express.
He was badly bruised, his left shoulder
and back being injured. Another of
the injured is j. NJ. Lambert, postal
clerk of Lambertsville, Somerset county,
near Stoyes town, who had a leg sprained
and his head injured. Mr.. Lambert was
formerly employed as motorman on
the Johnstown Passenger Railway,
which position he resigned a month ago
to take the new one. All three Iocomo-
tives were badly twisted and battered.
The escape of the passengers and train
men from death was miraculous

fOul Play Feared.

PITTsBURG, December 5.-Develop-
ments within the past forty-eight hours
lead to the belief that the three mem
bers of the Dannahower family. who
were cremated in fire which destroyed
their house at SharpSburg, two weeks
ago, were victims of foul play 1t is
now believed that they were murdered
and the house set on fire to cover the
crime. This theory is strengthened by
the facts that when the fire was discov-
cred the doors were open and papers and
small articles were scattered about the
floor. \ wagon was also seen in the
vicinity by the neighbors a short time
before the fire
1t lis thought that the house was bro
ken into for the purpose of robbery and
that the robbers were discovered by Mr.
Dannahower. \ scuffle ensued during
which the latter was killed. In order 10
cover up the crime the wife and daugh-
ter were killed and the house fired De
tectiVes are working on the case and a
web of circumStantial evidence has been
woven so tightly around two persons
that their arrests will be made in a day
or so.

THE Republican attempt to steal the
Legislature in Kansas is rather the most
fragrant of any of the plots now under
way at the West. In the case of the tie
between twscandidates for the Legisla
latuTe the Republican members of the
State Canvasslng Board went into ''eXe-
cutive session that is, into secret seS-
sion-and ''drew lots to decide the
election. Quite ma turally the Republi-
can candidate won. In another county
the returns showed that RoSenthal, the
Populist candidate, had received 152
votes to 1913 cast for Tubbs, the Repub-
lican. The county clerk, in certifying
to the returns, had reversed the figures,
showing the election of Tubbs. The
board decided that ii could not go be
hind the Clerks certificate and declared
Tubbs to be elected. Election 10y dark.
closet drawing and election by county
clerk therefore take the place of election
by the people when beaten Republican
politicians are out for SenatOrshipl The
Democrats and PopulistS Iof Kansas dc
not intend to stand this sort of thimble-
rigging.

CHAIRMAN HARRITY, says the Phila-
delphia Times, has set at rest all rumOrs
that he is to be given place in Mr..
Cleve' and's cabinet by public decara-
ton made yesterday (Monday) in Wash
ington that there is no position in the
cabinet he would accept. He further
declared that he likes his present posi-
ton of Secretary of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and that he proposes to
serve out his term. Those who have
been ia Mr.. Harrity's confidence have
known for some time that he would not
&C cept a cabinet position if it we're of
fered him. His public declaration on
this subject should be the end of all Cos
sip in the matter Mr.. Harrity is a
practical politician who believes that he
who asks or accepts no favors for work
done in a pnblic or political way occupies
the highest position an American citi-
zen can aspire 20 and in this he is clear
ly right.

NEWARK, Conn, December 5.-While
Mrs. Levi Berdofski, who lives at 80
Madison street, was out in the yard sift-
ing ashes this morning her two-year-old
child, Fannie, having seen her mother
clean the stove a moment before, took
an ash shovel full of red hot Goals from
the fire land ithen hearing her mother
open the door she dumped the embers
into the baby carriage in which Mrs.
Berkofskis 6-months-old child was
sleeping. The clothing in the carriage
took fire at once, as did the little girls
garments. In a moment all was ablaze.
The screams of the children brought the
mother To their aid almost at once. but
the little gIrl died about half an hour
after the accident occurred.

CONTRARY to expectations Mr.. McMil-
lin, of Tennessee, a member of the House
rules committee and who has also been
mentioned prominently as a candidate
for the speakership in opposition to
Speaker Crisp next Congress, is inclined
to regard an extra session as necessary.
His views upon the point are rather con-
servative, but he thinks from the pres
ent aspect an early meeting of Congress
bic, if not absolutely necessary.

President HARRISON, says the New
York World, is a partisan to the last.
His message, so far as it relates to po-
litical matters, is little more than a re-
hash of the Republican stump speeches
and editorials of the late campaign.
He rehearses the facts and figures
showing the wonderful increase in popu-
ration and in business for the past ten
years and attributes it to the system Of
high taxation which his party has main
tanned. He assumes that the result of a
tariff revision twice demanded by the
people will be to surrender our home
market to foreigners and to reduce wages
to the European level.
There is no occasion to argue these
points or any other of the President as
sumptions. For five years past, since
Mr.. Cleveland's famous tariff message,
the people have studied this question.
They have observed and experienced the
effects of the Republican plan to increase
prosperity ny IdlSlhS tilC '"\'S' -hi'
they have twice in general elec tlons CON
demned both the theory and the practice
which Mr.. Harrison, emerging from the
dust of the avalanche which over
whelmed him and his party, calmly pro-
ceeds with true Bourbon persistency to
uphold.
Hha nd of tho 1nfaot how
ever, too great for the President to ignore.
He admits that ''the result of the cleo
ton must be accepted as having intro
duced new policy" And he recon-
mends that 'the whole subject of tariff
revision be left to the incoming Con
gress'- as all sensible men
must, that this Indispensable work
''must be delayed for at least three
months" 1t should most certainly be
delayed no longer than that. This is a
country, as Grant said, where the will
of the people should be the law of the
land
The Presidents other remarks and re-
are lOI lIlt llOSI DdiII VI
a conventional character, not calling for
special comment.
1t is to be regretted that he sees in the
fact reported by him that the expendi-
ture for pensions will next year reach
the appalling sum of S1SS, 900, 600 no
occasion for any recommendation as to
the need of a revision and purging of the
pension list He assumes, with the
hardihood of a claim agent or profes-
sional vote hunter, that this vast sum,
representing nearly half of the national
revenues, is required and is used in 'the
care of the disabled soldiers of the war.
No man knows better than President
Harrison that not one-half of this
amount is paid to disabled soldiers. "
And it is to his discredit that he should
be willing to go out of Office without one
word of warning as to the peril to the
, treasury and the debasement of the pen
sion list involved in this enormous ex-
penditure.
President Harrison's last message eX-
plains and justifies his overwhelming de
feat as candidate for reelection.

THE annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Rathbone shows that
the net increase of postotfices over the
year ended June 80 1891, was 2,790,
and the year closed with 81, ,ll9 as the
whole number of postoflices in the Uni.
ted States. The greatest increase in any
state was Georgia, where it was 220.
Texas was next with 21I, and Pennsyi-
vania followed with POI establishments.
At the close of the fiscal year there were
thirteen states in each of which there
were more than 9, 200 postoffices in oper-
alton. The greatest number in any one
state was 4,4S2, in Pennsylvania; 3, 500
in New York, and 8, ,229 in Ohio These

THE suggestion that immigration
should be suspended for year as pre-
caution against a cholera epidemic, and
consequent failure of our Columbian
celebration next year, has elected from
the officials of some of the steamship
lines a threat that they will bring the
Immigrants to Canada and let them find
their way into the United States across
the northern border. Congress will deter
mine its action in this matter purely on
the merits of the case and absolutely
without regard to the threat of the
steamship companies. The safety and
prosperity of the people of the United
States as a whole are of more importance
than the prosperity and profits of the
steamship companies. But it is not
probable that any measure so sweeping
will he enforced or attempted

JUDGE ATGELD, the Illinois Governor
elect, studied law while teaching school
and working ON a farm near Cowgirl,
Mo. Soon after his admission to the
bar he hung out his shingle in Chicago,
and his first fee of consequence came
from a suit he brought against cable
car company in behalf of woman who
had been injured by one of the cars.
The Judge is now worth about so, 600 =
