Representative Grosvenor Argues on

Washington, April 1.-THE house com
mittee on interstate and foreign commerce
to-day heard Representative Grosvenor,
of Ohio, in support Of his resolution
directing the committee to investigate
the legality of the action of Gov Tillman
of South Carolina, IN selzing the telegraph
lines of South Carolina during the recent
disturbance there and preventing the
transmission of press dispatches
Mr.. Grosvenor said that under the
statutes and decisions of the supreme
court of the United States, telegraph dis
patches were subject TO the interstate
commerce law, and that states had no
authority TO Interfere with them. He
held that the following section of the
revised statutes made telegraphic
dispatches subject to the interstate
commerce law: ANY telegraph company
now organized, or which may be here
after organized under the laws of any
state, shall have the right to construct,
maintain and operate lines through and
over any portion of the public domain of
the United States, over and along any Of
the military and post roads Of the United
States, which have been or may here
after be declared such by law, and over,
under or across navigable streams or
waters Of the United States, but such
lines OF telegraph shall be so constructed
and maintained as not to obstruct the
navigation of such streams and waters, or
interfere with ordinary travel on such

LRAPEp BEFORE A TRAIN.
Deserted By Her Lover, an Atlantis
Woman Commits Suicide.

Woman Commits Suicide.
Atlanta, Ca, April 1I.-Sarah Carter,
a young countrywoman, committed sui
eide OF o'clock this morning, by throw
ing herself in front of the outgoing Cen
tral railroad passenger train for Savan-
nah as it reached Mcpherson crossing.
From the evidence brought out at the
coroner's inquest, it appeared that the
woman was standing near the track
talking with three other wemon
as the train approached. She had
been crying, telling her companions that
her lover, Louis Norwood, had deserted
her. Norwood had the day before re-
ceived his dischage after three
years service in the army and
had gone to Baltimore. The story
that her companions told indicates that
the departure of Norwood had left
Sarah Carter not only disconsolate, but
hopeless. She cried bitterly and said
the man had promised to take her to
Baltimore with him. and had made other
promises which if fulfilled would have
prevented the tragedy of this morning.
AS the train approached the woman
arose from the crosstie on which she sat
and stepped between two cars with her
companions. She gave no intimation of
what she was about to do. AS the train
rushed within twenty feet of her she
leaped from her place exclaimed "good-by"
and sprang upon the track. Her feet had
hardly alighted before the pilot struck
her. and she was rolled and crushed for a
few wards, then lifted and dashed against
an embankment AS she leaped one of
her companions attempted to reach out
after her but was too late.
