of his house this morning and called to
his two children, Samuel aged 6. and
Lillian, years old, who followed their

upstairs and, with revolver. shot the
girl through the head. killing her In
stantly. McGrath then placed the
weapon to his own head and sent bull
let through his brain. He died at IL
o'clock
The little girl and her brother were
playing upstairs when their rather
called them to come into the cellar.
They went down stairs and the boy was
told to return to the kitchen. He had
scarcely reached the first floor when
he heard two pistol shots In rapid suc-
cession. The boy called to his mother
and when she went to the cellar she
found the little girl dead. her brains
being strewn on the cellar floor. The
father was still breathing. but died an

his mind is mystery.
few days ago he wrote letter to
a newspaper saying that he intended to

suicide. The letter was given to the
poliCe and they went to McCiraths

wife, in which he said he feared he
would become insane, and asked her to
forgive him.

CHIEF ARTHUR ON STRIKES.
lie Has No Use for Them and Talks About
the Brooklyn Troubles.

Cincinnati Jan. 25--P. NJ. Arthur, chief
OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers. was here to-day, en- route to san
Francisco, to settle differences on the
Southern Pacific. Referring to the street
railway strike in Brooklyn. Chief Arthur
said: II think 1t is Ill advised. Strikes
are bad things, as l said. but / think "A
strike particularly i'll advised which throws
so many men out OF work when there are
so many idle men in the country. How
can they hope to succeed when there are
a dozen men to take the place of every
man who goes out? This is a particularly
bad time to strike. l believe that railroad
companies were wrong when they refused
to arbitrate with their men. l recognize
the perfect right of capital to an adequate
return upon its investment.
And these railroad corporations have
a right to a reasonable compensation for
their enterprise and outlay, but. on the
other hand, the employees have right to
reasonable compensation. for l do not be-
lieve that capital has a right to make such
an outlay that II cannot meet its obliga-
tions except by taking 1t from their wage
earners. Judge Gaynor, as l understand 1t,
has required the Brooklyn roads to run
their cars or show good and sufficient rea-
the court should revoke their charters If
the railroads can show that they have been
detained by forceful and unlawful means.
But ! do blame the corporations for
refusing to treat in the matter That
should have been done In the first place"

THE SECRETARY Is FIRM.
Choctaw Road Omcals Fail to Make Hin
Reccdc From His Position.

Washington Jan. 25.-(Special) President
McGowen and General Attorney McCoud,
of the Choctaw road in the Oklahoma and
Indian Territories, spent the time with the
secretary of the interior to-day trying to
induce him to change his decision on the
right of way matter for their road near the
towns OF Tecumseh and Shawnee. They
are insisting that they want to he allowed
to run the road north of the North Ca
madam, taking In the town of Shawnee
and leaving six miles to the south the
county seat, Tecumseh. The secretary re-
piled that he had given a decision in the
matter, having made careful review of the
dispute, and that he had announced that
in the event the citizens of Tecumseh fur
nlshed the right of way on the south side
of the river he would approve that route.
The people of that town We're now working
to secure that right of way and If they
complied with the terms he had made he
would he compelled to make this the inal
decision.
There We're some intimations on the part
of the Choctaw officials to fight the Sec
retary in the matter and aim TO force their
own views. This was looked upon as 3
little hazardous. owing to the fact that
the secretary, by the right of way bill. is
given exclusive power over the matter of
approving of the right of way, but the Of
ticials of the road are very much worked
up over the matter and insist that they
will exhaust all possible resources in their
effort to run the road through Shawnee.
