Pencr Resolution Taken Up In the senate,
Naval Appropriation In the House.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The outlined pro-
rramme for the senate procedure this
week was shattered by two unexpected
motions When the intended action to
consider the river and harbor bill was
tsmpted, it was antagonized by motion
TO consider the Du Pont election case. Mr..
Mitchell with considerable display of feel
ing sought 10 prevent this course but bya
yea and nay vote, resulting 32 TO 81, the
senate decided to take up the Du Pont case
Inter an agreement was effected to post
none tho matter until the river and har-
Dor bill was passed, She final vote In the
election cnso to be taken two days after
consideration was begun.
The bond investigation resolution came
up under the head Of unfinished business.
Mr.. PETER refused to further delay the
matter, and his motion to proceed with
the resolution was uphold by 80 to IS,
thus displaoing the river and harbor bill
Mr. Hill thereupon took the floor and
spoke until adjournment, but did not
conclude his argument against the reso-
luton.

CRIME OF A BRUTE.
Yooag Girls Thront Cut and Her BODY
Thrown Into Creek.

Thrown Into Creek.
WASHINGTON, May 5--klsie Ereglo, a
white girl i6 years old, was murdered In
ravine near the National Geological park.
The body wns found in small creek about
100 yards FROM she girls home. Cries for
help were heard by the Kreglo family, and
a sister OF tho girl and a colored boy rush
cd to tho scene whence the cries proceeded.
They found Elsie standing In creek OF
shallow water between two hills. She had
been overcome by loss Of blood and exhaus-
tion and foil back doad into the water be-
fore help arrived The girls throat had
been gashed six times With knife.
The circumstances Of the murder are
such as to make it one Of peculiar atrocity.
The young victims clothes were partly
torn from her and strewn about for quite
a distance, showing that she had made a
desperate resistance against the attempts
of her assnilants. The pathway leading
to the bottom of the ravine was bespatter-
ed with blood, and the water in which she
was standing was red with it when shs
was found. The affair has caused much
excitement. A lady riding in the vicinity
about the time of the murder saw negro
running across the road just at that time
and this, besides the finding of pisto
near by, is the only olew. The kregl'
family are Industrious working people, an'
the victim was one Of five sisters.

After the return of the passenger train
there was great activity in the Northern

way.
The wires are down west OF Iron noun

road west OF there is unknown, but 1t Is
thought to be worse than the main line,
based upon past events. An operator ac-
companied the work train, so that com

THE FAIR CONTEST ENDS
WITHDRAWAL OF THE MILLION
AIRES PENCIL WILL.
There Is RumOr of Compromise
Among All Parties Interested
I'm the Case.

San Francisco, Nov. 16-The contest
over the will of the late James G. Fair
was ended today by the withdrawal Of
the so-called pencil will, which had been
offered for probate. DIR. Marc Living
stem, named as executor under the pencil
will, in Withdrawing the document stated
his reason was that the position OF Mrs.
Nettie Craven might be strengthened.
Mrs. Craven had joined with Livingston
in submitting the pencil will. She claims
to be the contract wife of the late sena-
tor, and claims Fair gave her deeds to
two pieces of city property, valued at H.
500 600.
1t was feared that If the pencil will
should be declared a forgery, a similar
fate might follow for the alleged mar
riage contract and deeds to Mrs. Craven,
which the Fair heirs pronounce as forger-
les. All the Fair children, who at first
supported the pencil will, now declare
It a forgery also. They join in a petition
for the probating of the trust will, dated
three days earlier than the pencil will
The trust will was admitted to probate
today, and it is believed the litigation,
which bid fair to be interminable, Is now
practically ended.
The trust feature of the will was de-
clared illegal so far as the real estate
involved is concerned A similar decision
regarding the personal property of the
estate is now anticipated, and the trust
will, with the trustee provisions elimin-
ated, would be eminently satisfactory to
the children of James CT. Fair.
The unexpected action in Withdrawing
the pencil will today caused great sur
prise in legal circles, although it is 9u-
mored that the retreat of Livingston and
Mrs. Craven was the result of q COM
promise among all the parties interested.
