4 Mothers H-Inuu. trlms.

Big Rapids. Mich, Sept. 19.-
Mrs. Marion Davis is under arrest,
charged with the murder of her 6
months sou. 1t appears that two
other children were playing in front
of the house when they heard the
baby's screams aud began to cry
loudly themselves. This attracted the
attention of Mrs. SopLrouia Whit
ing, who rushed over to Mrs. Davis
house. When she got there the
baby was dying aud she could do
nothing for it, but she noticed the
odor of carbolic acid and staid by
the baby while one of the children
was sent for DIR. Bradley. When
the Doctor arrived he found that a
large quantity of carbolic acid had
been pour into the little ones mouth,
buring it fearfully, and that some oi
the acid had burned the lips aud
cheek. Mrs. Davis simply says tha,
she did not give the child any acid
and shows the utmost indifference.
Her husband will have nothing to
do with his wife, nor will he mix uI
in the case at all, evidently believing
her guilty. A younger sister Of the
prisoner says the child was given
the acid by 3 year old son of Mrs,
Davis, but this is not believed, q,
the boy was in the yard when thu
baby's screams were first heard.

THE PASSENGER RATE WAR.
Eastern Lines Anxious to Keep Out
Of the Present Fight.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S-The attitude OF the
Western Passenger association lines
toward the Southern Pacific and Atchison
fight will be determined tomorrow. AT TO-
days meeting Of the association, Pas
senger Traffic Manager White of the
Atchison, made long statement, review
ing the relations of his line with the
Southern Pacific, and reiterating his state
ment of the causes leading up to the pres
eut trouble. He closed his remarks by
asking that, as called for under the as
sociation agreement, the association lines
should stand by its members as against all
others, and that the eastern lines of the
association should cease all business rela-
tions with the Southern Pacific. The
matter went over until tomorrow, when
Chairman Caldwell will give the matter u
hearing. He may render his decision at
once, or take it under advisement for
several days.
The Atchison will. if the decision be ad
verse to it, promptly withdraw from the
Western Passenger association and make
its fight from Chicago instead of from the
Missouri river. Its business east of the
Missouri river is comparatively nothing,
while the heavy interests of the majority
of the other association lines are east of
the river. They care comparatively little
what goes on west Of the river, provided
they are not molested east of it. Nothing
will bring them to the position of the
Atchison more quickly than the prospect
of Il decentralization of rates east of the
river. They prefer to stand neutral, but
they cannot with the Atchison making a
fight from Chicago.

PITTsBURG, Pa. Feb. 2S.-This evening
about 9o'clock, t. J. McNabb, who !asi
year pitched for the Baltimore baseball
team, shot and fatally wounded Mrs hoe
Rockwell, aud then turned the revolver on
himself aud ended his own life. The
tragedy occurred in the hotel Eiffel. op-
p ,site the city hall in this city. where Nc
Naob and the woman had arrived last
night, registering as E. J. McNabb and
wife.
Today Mrs. Rockwell, who is dau ghter
of i. j. Lewis, prominent man OF Brad
dock, Pa, visited her parents aud ret urned
to the hotel at $50 this evening. McNabb
followed her to her room and shortly
afterwards shots were heard. Both were
found lying on the floor covered with
blood. The woman was conscious and
said McNa bb had shot her, but gave no
reason for the deed.
The murderer had shot his victim twice
in the neck, one bullet merely making n
flesh wound, while the other entered her
neck aud is embedded in the spinal col
umn, completely paralyzng her lower ex-
tremities. McNabb shot himself IN the
month and was dead when entrance to the
room was forced. Mrs. Rockwell has
scarcely any hance for recovery.
She is the wife of r. Z. Rockwell OF
Seattle. Wash, who is the President aud
secretary of the Pacific and Northwestern
baseball league. She was member OF the
alvin Joslln' theater company anu was
for the past year known on the stage AS
Louise Kellogg. As yet no reason for the
double shooting hiss been learned, but it Is
generally believed that the couple were
almost pennilesS aud that MeNabb took

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. Feb. 2S.-The
Northwestern Miller says:
1.-The mills last week ground l43, 135 bar
rels of -four. against lis. $50 the week be
fore and l77,675 for the corresponding
time in 1893. The output the present
week will be still larger. A better demand
for -four is responsible for the increased
activity. The strength shown by wheat
has induced freer buying of -four. and last
weeks sales Appropriated 100000 barrels.
Buyers wanted orders at old quotations.
but were not always accommodated. Most
Minneapolis firms found the export trade
somewhat better, and Il moderate amount
of patent as well as bakers sold little
better for April shipment. Some country
mills report that they have of late been
able 10 sell for export at fairly satisfactory
prices, while in the domestic markets they
could do scarcely anything.
The lower freights have placed feed on
a more equitable basis compared with the
east, and the demand is quite active for
red dog. Though the -four market was in
better form during the bulge in wheat last
week, goods have since been marked down
in sympathy with the decline, and buyers
are AS independent as ever. The reduction
of 10 cents per barrel in freight will not
tend to start the mills, for it Is understood
that they have been able to get Il rate
equal or even better than the published re
ductiOn for some weeks back. The eX-
ports were 4, S2l barrels, against 8, 100 bar
rels the preceding week.
