FAST CHICAGO TRAIN SERVICE.

Central Ahead of the ..Penna',-Arriyal of
European Beauties-Gotham n otes.
The point to which the rivalry between
the great Trunk Line railroads has been
carried cannot be better illustrated than by
the announcement that the "Pennan lad
contemplated twenty-hour schedule
betw cen New York and Chicago, and that
they were simply forestalled in the an
nouncement by the New York Central
that it would put on a train making the
run in nineteen hours. This is a reduction
of 20 per cent. in the present already fast
time The "Penna" road is making elabo-
rate preparations for it's new fast train,
and has in process of construction several
powerful locomotives, built expressly for
this service. The trains ON both roads will
be luxuriously appointed, and for this and
the speed an extra s. per ticket will be
charged

breaking of the Engagement Precipitates
the Crime.
Miss Clark and Smith were still engaged
after the young woman arrived in Evans
ton, and it was at her solicitation that he
came to the city to study medicine. He
arrived Dec. 81 and placed himself under
the care of tutor and intended entering
the Chicago medical college. Miss Clark s
father was aware of Smiths presence in
the city, but he still objected to the mar
riage, and wrote letters 20 her frequently
asking her to break her engagement.
An Urgent Request from Her Father.
Three weeks ago she received a letter
more urgent than any before, and almost
demanding that her engagement be broken.
The letter was shown Smith and the par
ent's wishes acceded to- But Smith APP
parently could not give her up. Saturday
night he called at the WATSON home, where
she boarded, on the pretext OF returning a
bundle of trinkets she had given him and
which he carried.
Lays in Wait for His Victim.
Shortly afterward Effie and Lulu went
out for walk. After Smith had left the
bundle he went to Mrs Conrwwall's, at
us Ayers court, where he sat in the window
until he saw the two girls emerge from
the WATSON home. He followed but the
girls entered a house ON Maple street aud
escaped him. Smith lay in wait and when
they returned he approached, and ac-
companied them to the house at 712
Murder "a Token of Love.
There a private interview was asked and
refused, when Smith seized Miss Clark's
arm and drew his revolver. Miss Aber-
nathy saw the weapon, made an effort to
prevent its use, and succeeded in loosen
ing Smiths grasp. The freed woman
dashed across the narrow grass plot in
front of the house, but before she had gone
six feet the miscreant's bullet had pierced
her back. Following. Smith caught her
when she was about to fall and placing his
weapon against her cheek fired the second
shot.
Winds Up His Own Life.
Then he turned his weapon upon him
self, firms two shots quickly into his head,
making but one wound. That Smiths
deed was premeditated there is no doubt.
He was conscious for time after shooting
himself, and when asked why he did il.
said:
Several days ago / resolved to do this,
and tonight was the best opportunity /
could have. j knew that, and -"
Here he faltered, tried to say something
more and at last sank back on the cot I'M
conscious.

In few moments his eyes opened and
his lips moved again
Yes. it was all made up beforehand he
continued. 1T was premeditated. So

hadn't killed her tonight / would have
done so the first time had an opportunity,

became unconscious and remained so until

Other Fatal Casualties.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, April "a Hungarian
miners lamp exploded Saturday in the oil
house at the foot of the Nelson shaft, near
this city, and set the oil house on fire. The
flames soon communicated TO the entries
and in a short time the whole mine on that
level was afire Few men were at work on
that level and all got out safely. The death
of ten men on the next level-the Red Ash
vein-was the final result OF the careless
ness that caused the explosion; for the
Hungarian was filling his lamp while the
wick was ablaZe.
Suffocated in the Red Ash Vein.
There seems TO have been some COM
munication between the lower vein and
the Red Ash vein. for shortly after the fire
started it was announced that ten men in
the latter vein were in great danger. Rescue
parties went down at the risk of their
lives and found that it was too late. Ten
bodies were found as follows: Joseph
Bortrax, John Gary, John Burt, Frederick
Ginter Frank Shupis, Nicholas Duthan,
John Ryan, James Brennan, Michael
Brennan, John Robel The loss so far is
