SHOT TO KILL.
The Desperate Deed of a Young
 Wife.
She Kills the Woman Who WI ecNed Her Home and Robbed
 Her Children.

Another tragedy was enacted in Ell Paso Monday and another unprepared soul was ushered into eternity, but the shadow of the crime does not rest upon the brow of the poor little woman who committed the deed.
 About o'clock on the day in ques- tion Hattie Baker, young woman of shady character, was shot and killed by Mrs. Lol Thompson.
 A young boy who was an eye wit ness of the affair, described it as fol- lows:
 f'I was sitting on the stable and saw two women coming down the railroad track leading their bicycles. Arthur Mrs. Thompson's 6-year-old Son) was out near the track and he called out to his mother something and she came running out the back door with pis- tol in her hand She folded the pistol in her dress and running up to the Santa Fe track stood behind car un- til the two women reached a crossing and started to mount their wheels. Then Mrs. Thompson stepped from be- hind the car and I saw her raise the pistol and shoot One of the women dropped her bicycle and catching up her dress ran little and fell. Mrs. Thompson went walking back home laughing, and the woman who was with the woman who was shot went to where her friend was lying and con- menced crying. Then 1 went over there and saw her gasp a few times and die"
 When Mrs. Thompson was arrested and taken to jail she stated that she did not regret the deed. Her only re- gret is being separated from her three children. She said that the wounded woman, Hattie Baker, had ruined her life and wrecked the home of her children. Before the woman entered her life she had happy home and was happy with her husband and children.
 The trouble seems that some months ago Mrs. Thompson had separation from her husband and came to Phoe- nix to live. She left her children with her husband and during her absence in this city they were taken sick and nursed by Hattie Baker and another woman. While she was in Phoenix her husband and the murdered woman lived together.
 The wife subsequently, returned to her home in Fl Paso and her children She heard of her husbands faithless- ness and warned the Baker woman to keep away from him. The Baker wo- man did pot heed the warning and rode around Mrs. Thompson's house to tantalize her, with the result as al ready stated. How long Mrs. Thomp- son resided in Phoenix cannot be learned. A Republican reporter yes terday endeavored to gather some facts concerning the woman, but could not find anybody that was acquainted with her
 The sentiment in Fl Paso is strongly against the husband of Mrs. Thomp son, for by his actions was she driver to the deed.

NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
First Car Runs Over the Line Yes
 terday.

Yesterday afternoon as the shades of evening were falling, Manager Pratt, of the Phoenix Electric railway, started the first car over the line of the Northern Electric railway. Connec- tion with the regular power-house had been made by feed wire tapping the line in Dennis addition, the track had been carefully ballasted and prepared, and all success attended the initial trip
 The car, a new one of local construc- tion, ran swiftly and smoothly the route being north on First street from Washington to Pearce, thence east on Pearce and Desert streets into Dennis addition, another turn being then made to a point a half mile north ward, total length of one and one half miles.
 Only single car can now be run, and only half hourly trips will be made for short time, the service be- ginning at ' this morning.
 There was no inconsiderable degree Of enthusiasm attending the first trip, the small boy being much in evidence and the householders along the route lining the track to watch the passage of the modern wonder whereby their homes are brought within easy dis tance of the business portion of the city. By the construction of the road the residents of Churchill, Dennis and Brill additions are benefited to the highest degree, and many are the handsome cottages soon to rise along it's route

and then DIR. Mattern explained that he
thought Holmes had asked the question
in reference to other cases, and Holmes
point went for naISrht
Holmes questioned DR.. Mattern
closely as to how Pietzel was killed by
chloroform poisonk if the poison was
injected into the mans stomach after
death. Just as the line of questioning
began to grow interesting, Holmes an
nounced that he was growing confused
with his own questions. and that for
the present he would abandon that
phase of the question and take it up
again by calling DR.. Mattern as wit
ness for himself.
The next witness was Dr. Lehman,
an expert in chemistry. DR.. Lehman
testified as to the effect of chlOroform
upon the system.
During the testimony of subsequent
witness Mr.. Graham introduced a cray
on of Holmes before he had grown
beard, and Mr.. Rotan entered a vigOr-
Gus protest to the proceeding, claiming
it was all done to influence the jury. At
this point the commonwealth had pre-
sented all the witnesses for identifica-
ton Of the body, and at $50 o'clock the
court adjourned until tomorrow

Passenger Trains Collide, Causing the
Death of Two Persons.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 29.-Two passenger
trains on the Missouri Pacific collided at

west of here. at II o'clock tonight. Two
mon were killed and three injured.
The dead: John Howard, engineer;
William Catron, engineer.
The injured: George Trese, fireman;
George Dunbar: "Buck" Taylor, Wild

A number of passengers were more or
less shocked.
The trains met on q switch, and both
engines and three cars of the east bound
train were demolished. The trains were
used for suburban traffic. The east
bound train had but few passengers,
while the west-bound train carried theater
patrons going home. The accident was
the result of blunder. The two trains
should have met four miles further west,
but Engineer Catron of the west-bound
train tried TO reach the Howard switch in
time to meet the other train. Both trains
were running slowly, or more dreadful
calamity would have occurred.
at midnight q wrecking crew was
working to reach the bodies of the two
engineers.

PENSION MATTHIAS.
Annual Report of Commissioner Loch-
rem to Secretary Smith.

Annual Report of Commissioner Loch-
ran to Secretary smith.
WASHINGTON. Dot. 29.-Judge Will
lam Lochran, Commissioner OF Pensions,
has submitted mis- annual report to the
Secretary Of the Interior. 1t shows that
up to June 30, 1891, thore were 969 544
pensioners. and during Inc year 49, lS5
new pensions were granted aud 4,026 re-
stored that had been dropped from the
rolls, making an aggregate roll of 1,0l2,-
935. There were II, SIC deaths and Ii, 90
pensioners dropped during the past year,
making the number on the rolls 70 June
30. 1898, 9I0,554. an increase during The
year ot $50.
During the interim OF further pension
| legislation, the Commissioner thinks thar
the appropriation OF SI40, 1000, 000 viii bo
sufnclent for the payment Of pensions for
the ilscal year ending June 30, 1896. The
estimates Tor 1851 are the same as for
1896. except an additional $, 900 for better
quarters OF the agent az Buffalo, n. I.
The Commissioner thinks that aside
from disseminating illegal pensions, the
work OF the Board OF Revision has been
beneficial in dlscOuraging tho filing OF
the claims without merit. The WORK of
the law division was excellent in detect
Ing crimes IN pension prosecutions aud
discovering llIegal practlce among p0n-
sion attorneys. Two hundred and ninety
four persons were convicted, the most
important being ". Bowen Moore of
Buffalo, \. y, and Geo. NJ. Van Leuven
OF Lime Springs, Iowa, both attorneys
with a large pension cientage.
The Commissioner commends the work
of the pension examiners in the field, and
says that the fact that this force pervades
the entire country. and is likely to dis
cover and bring to light any frauds that
may be attempted. exercises a constantly
restraining influence upon dishonest
claimants and attorneys.
The Act of March u, 1895, increasing
the rate of certain pensioners TO So per
month made an increase of Sol, 800, 900 an
nually in the payment of pensions. and
the Act repeating the Act of March 8,
1898, which forbade the payment OF PEN
sions TO nOn-reSidents after July |, 1898,
increased the payments during the last
tour months OF the year of 1898 S275, coo.

to this with the intention of casting any
reflection on the deceased, but to show
the neglect of the police in the search.
AS it was conducted l do not believe
that the guilty parties will ever be ar
rested or brought to justice. Someone,
however, will have to be brought to ac-
count for it.
The testimony to connect the de-
fendant with the murder was alto
Gether circumstantial. Would it have
beer possible for Durrant in the al
lowed time to have committed the muir
der and shown no marks of it. The two
We're physically of the same size.
Where was Blanche Lamonts
strength? She was fighting for her
virtue, as well as for her life. There
was no evidence Of anything with which
Durrant could have bound her The tes-
timony was that there were five finger
marks on one side of the neck and seven
or the other showing that there was
violent struggle. Could this have been
done without the murderers having
been scratched? Counsel believed
there were two connected with the muir
del. 1t not only took two to commit the
murder, but it would have required
two to carry the body to where it was
found and there undressed it. The de-
fcndant could not alone have done it.
1t would have been a physical impossi-
bility.
In closing Dickinson said to the jury.
What motive could this defendant
nave had? What motive for wrecking
lis life his home and his people? None
has been shown, nor can one be de-
dUced. A man must have some motive
to commit a murder. Either he must
have an abandoned heart or he must
have acted from malice. The testimony
as to Durrant's character is that he
had not an abandoned heart, and this
testimony is not to be lightly treated.
Do as you would be done by, or as you
would have yours done by. Do not be
sWayed by public or press; take the tes-
timony here as his honor will instruct
you and we will be satisfied, no mat
ter what the result may be. We now
submit the case to you, confident that
you will do right and restore this de-
fendant to his family and his pursuits,
and open a future to him as bright and
rosy as it was before the suspicion fell
on n IN -
