derer and Fugitive.
SIDNEY, O., April ga terrible
tragedy occurred in the jail here Fri
day morning, and John Perkpile is
now hunted wife-slayer, while the
body of his victim lies in the morgue
awaiting burial. unattended by
the affectionate demonstration due
from a husband to an honored
wife. The Perkpiles were young
married people and enjoyed the best
of regulations. The husband is a sue
cessful young business man and the
wife was woman of rare beauty.
Their little home was costly appointed,
and it was supposed that fidelity and
love reigned supreme within it.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Perkpile left home
on a business errand and Thursday
night he was the Mortified recipient
of telegram announcing that his wife
had been arrested and was locked up in
jail awaiting his assistance. Hasten
ing back to Sidney, where he arrived at
9so'clock Friday morning, Mr.. Perkpile
was crushed to learn the cause of his
wife's arrest. On Thursday night the
police made raid on disreputable
house, captur ing a number of men and
women, among whom was Mrs. Perk-
pile. She had gone to the house in
company with a lover and the arrest
made exposure inevitable. When told
of his wife's infdelity Perkpile closed
his jaws firmly together and started
for the jail. When he arrived there he
asked for an interview with his erring
wife, and was conducted to her cell.
AS he approached it his wife caught
sight of him and began to weep hys-
terically.
''Oh, John! T." began the poor wom-
an as her husband came to a standstill
before the grated cell door.
A flash and the loud report of AZ
caliber revolver cut short her ex-
clamation. A woman's scream, the
heavy fall of her dead body on the
stone floor, the amazement of
the officers, the hasty fight of
Perkpile ended the episode SO far as
activity was concerned. No one saw
the murderer escape. No one noticed
in what direction he went and his es-
cape was completely effected. Inn
several posses were or
yanized and began to hunt
for the wife-killer but up to
no trace of him had been Sc
cured. Perkpiles bullet entered
,quarely into the center of his wife,s
heart and she was dead before her
body struck the floor.

JUDGE KeLLY's DECISION.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Cannot Consolidate,

Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Cannot Consolidate.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 18.-Judge Kelly has
filed his decision in the important case
of the State Of Minnesota against the
Great Northern Railway Company, and
the state wins. The Great Northern
and Northern Pacific may not enter
into their traffic arrangement, and
Judge Kelly grants the writ of injunc-
ton as prayed.
While the case swings on what ap.
pears to be preliminary motion, that
for an injunction, the decision virtu.
ally determines the whole subject, since
it goes thoroughly into the matter, dis.
cussing the whole body of the argument
for and against the legality and pro.
priety of the proposed arrangement.
The Points of the Decision.
The points of his decision are:
The proposed traffic arrangement is
consolidation.
Under the laws of the State of Min.
nesota the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific roads are parallel and
competing lines.
The traffic arrangement is. therefore,
contrary to the public policy of the
state and the general laws of 1874 and
1881.
The defendants charter does not con.
tain either in express terms or by neces-
sary implication the right to make such
agreement or consolidation.
That if any such power was ever
given the charter was subject to amend.
ment by the legislature and the laws re.
ferred to.
The Case viii Be Appealed.
President James j. Hill is in New
York He will, of course, insist on its
being carried with all possible speed to
the court of last resort to set at rest the
question as to whether his company has
the right to make traffic arrangement
with parallel road and competing line.
The matter of consolidation, however,
is in any event dead. If it is not, the
tremendous earnings of the Northern
Pacific during the past three months
have themselves settled the question. 1t
is. the general belief that the Northern
Pacific will be out of the hands of re-.
ceiver and back in the hands of its Off.
GERS by the beginning of the new year.
The road is now paying all fixed charges
and accommodating surplus.

800, 900 acres of land Is involved. which
is lost by the company. The secretary
does not undertake to say whether the
grant begins at Thompson or Superior
City. but directs all selections for in,
demnity between these points held up
for further consideration. He does de.
clare that the grant of the Northern
Pacific does not extend east of Superior
City.
He also says that he Is aware that the
lands east of Superior were the basis for
the selection of large quantity of lands
from the indemnity belt of the com.
pany's grant in North Dakota. These
selections having been made some time
ago, many if not all have perhaps been
sold by the company. The secretary
has directed that the company be al.
lowed so days from the notice of this
decision. within which to specify new
basis for any Of its indemnity selections
avoided by this decision, and that dur.
ing that period no contracts against
such selections, where the charge is
that the basis was made of lands east of

Turks and Armenians, has started for
Constantinorle, via Vienna. His jour-
ney back to Turkey will be made in as
short a time as possible. and he Will re-
sumo his post at Constantinople without

Lord Salisbury. accompanied by his
wife. went to visit the queen at WIND
sor castle Saturday. 1t is evident that
imnortant decisions have been arrived
at regarding Eastern affairs, since Inc
Post publishes an article evidently IN
spired by the foreign office. The article
is understood to indicate that the prime
minister has decided that the utmost
effort must be made to maintain the IN
teoritv of the Turkish empire, and
therefore efforts must. in the first place
be directed to restoring order in the dis
turbed district.

Continuing, the article says:
..For the moment all thought OF CO.

He has already given evidence of de-
sire to introduce reforms. It cannot be
doubted that he will defer to the wishes
of the powers as soon as circumstances
permit him to do so. 1t is difficult to
apportion the blame between the Turks
and the Christians. Sir Philip Currie' g
instructions are such as to justify him
in delaying the execution OF reforms
until the authority by which they are
to be carried out has recovered from
temporary weakness. At the present
moment any naval demonstration In
the Turkish waters, or undue pressure
on the Turkish government, can only
help precipitate crisis from which
Turkeys friends can hope to gain moth.
