With the Carnival He VIII Make the
Week Attractive n the Rink.
Besides the carnival at the ice skating
rink at Convention Hall this week the
closing one of the rink, Joe Dunoghue
Will be seen In some of his matchless ex-
hlbitions of speed skating. During the
carnival he will try uDpaced to lower
the worlds record for three miles, and
there is every indication that be will sue
ceed In the attempt.
Since his races here with Davidson and
Moshier he has been in steady training
and is now in better condition than ever
before. He says that he is confident that
his racing days are not over, and he
will demonstrate that fact in the trials
next week. Besides the trial Wednesday
evening, when the carnival for the benefit
OF the Washington Endowment Fund of
the Home for lncurables will be on, Don
oghue will try for records at various dis
tances on Thursday and Friday evenings
and Saturday afternoon.
These trials will be made without PAGERS
and each one will be most interesting and
exciting. He will engage in a race with
Washington skaters Saturday night, meet
ing some OF the fastest men in this city.
The race viii be a handicap and Donoghue
will be handicapped to such an extent
that to win he must put forth every
effort OF which he is capable.
The men whom he will meet are all
well known In this vicinity and will give
him hard rub. AS it is Joe's last ap.
pearance before a Washington public, it
is likely that he will do his best TO leave
behind him good impression OF his PROV
ess on the steels. Those who have seen
him recently say that he never looked
better or in finer condition, and that he
can be relied upon to make some startling
time in the coming trials.

The crime was reported at the central
detective bureau yesterday morning and
two men were Immediately assigned to
the case. The report of this theft east

Of Washington women have made n bar

a knot at the back or the head. and dressed
in shabby black, with long loose cloak.
Mrs Latimer entered the shop Wednesday
afternoon. She made a small purchase
at one counter. In paying she exposed
big roll OF bills. She moved to another
department of the shop and found that
her purse had been stolen. The floor
walker was notified, and it was he who
furnished the detective office with a de-
scription OF the suspect. 1t is probable
that this suspect was followed TO her
home and that an arrest will be made TODAY
OF course, the detectives will not now
divulge the name and address OF the woman
who they believe picked the pocket OF
Mrs. Latimer. 1t was learned, though
that she rooms in a house on street not

wheelwomen Have Trouble.

A short time ago the effects of the Wo-
mems Cycling Club Of Chicago, consist
ing of piano, several euchre decks,
curling irons in variety and hairpins in
plenty, were sold at public auction and
were bid in by Mrs. Fairchild, the presi-
dent, for $50. The chattels of the club
were sold because of the fact that among
the members there existed two factions
one antagonistic to the president, and the
otherin cOnsonanCe with her actions. The
warning faction ''rung" some members
into the club, who are not liked by Mrs.
Fairchild and her supporters. tits vaguely
hintcd that these new members had a
leaning 10 racing, trick riding, and other
fcats awheel, and followed the bent of their
tastes in spite OF club constitution
barring such things; hence the rupture and
disbandment. Mrs. Fairchild thus diplo-
matically got rid OF members whom she did
not fancy, and reorganized the club with
her own followers and supporters.

ONE KICKER CONVERTED.
A Correspondent of The Times Writes
About Mr.. wagner's Bleachprs

About Mr. Wagner's Bleachers
Editor Times: / was one of the original
kickers against the management OF the
Washington Baseball Club for what was
said TO be an effort on their part to
freeze out the bleacber element by fore
ing them to accept seats so far away
from the diamond that they could not
see the plays. or go upon the 50-cent seats.
Ny information was derived from other
kickers, whom | supposed knew what
they were talking about. and l at once
joined their procession. on Saturday |
was asked 10 sign paper proposing a
boycott upon the club in consequence OF
the unfriendly- feeling manifested by the
owners. This | refused TO do, as / have
always regarded boycotts as being un-
American, contemplate and cowardly. AS
the matter had reached this crisis | went
to the park on Saturday determined TO
investigate the matter for myself and
arrange my own ultimatum.
j sought an introduction TO Mr. Wagner
and told him the object OF my visit. He
very kindly gave me his reasons for the
changes made. / walked with him over
the seats. and after a thorough nvestiga-
tion OF the matter | am OF the opinion
that Mr.. Wagner has done what any pru-
dent business man would under the same

While there Mr.. Wagner introduced me
10 c. W. Powers OF Pittsburg, who is
president of the Interstate League and
sporting editor of the Pittsburg Leader.
In presence OF myself and several who
were standing around, he said:
The bleacher seats in this city are the
best In the circuit so far as location is
concerned; that in Pittsburg seats were
only provided for about 400 persons, and
that the gates to the bleachers were often
closed when only 300 persons had gone
through, and that they were located a
much longer distance from the diamond
Therefore, i conclude that we have not
been SO very badly abused. l will con-
tinue to occupy my seat at the old stand

ANNIE MGRATHs DUPLIC1TY.
While Accepting Favors from LangdOn
She Was Engaged to Another.

PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-Thero is still
a great deal of mystery surrounding the
death of Annie McGrath, who was found
dead in house on Girard avenue last
Monday evening, having been dead twenty
four hours The fact has been clearly es-
tablished that the lips and mouth of the
prisoner Langdon, had been burned by
some powerful drug, as was the lips and
mouth of the dead girl 1t is known, too,
that Miss McGrath had been engaged to
marry Fred Fitzsimmons, West Chester
jeweler, but that the engagement had been
broken off Miss McGrath became ac-
quainted with Fttzsimmons at Atlantic
City, where she was boarding at a cottage
with Langdon, passing as his niece While
accepting gifts and money from her
wealthy admirer she was really in love
with and engaged to Fitzsimmons After
going to the Girard avenue house as Lang
don's reputed wife, it is alleged, she eff
tected reconciliation with Fitzsimmons,
and they decided to wed June "a next.
The theory has now been advanced that
Miss McGrath went to the Girard avenue
house the last time with the intention that
that should be her final assignation with
Langdon. She, according to the theory,
told LangdOn of her approaching mar
riage. 1t is given out by the police that if
murder was committed Langdon became
desperate at the thought of losing his
young inamorita and made up his mind
that both should die sooner than he should
live to see her become the wife of another
man. With this idea, it is stated, he prob
ably poisoned the girl and then tried tc
end his own life.
On the other hand, some of those who
have studied the case carefully are of the
opinion that rs the result of jealou.

Langdon while he slept and afterward ad
ministered to herself the chloroform OF

PHILADELPHIA March 27-The street
railway situation in this city has again
become serious, and it was by the bare
margin of two votes that the central board
of the Amalgamated Association last
night defeated a resolution that the lines
of the Union Traction company be again
tied up on next Monday morning. The
vote indicates that many of the conductors
and motormen are dissatisfied with the
manner in which they claim the company
is carrying out the terms of settlement
agreed upon by the peace commission. On
the other hand, many of the men have
faith in the company's promises and think
they have not yet had time to carry them
all out.

DASH BY CARS IN A MINE.
Caused by the Coupling of a Trip Parted
on Slant.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRIVER.
Two of the Cars Crash Into Four Mules
That Were Ascending the Slant with
a Trip of Cars--All the Animals
Were Killed.

A disastrous accident occurred late yester-
day afternoon in the Primrose colliery, which
is located about a mile from Mahanoy City,
but fortunately no human life was sacrificed
1t is remarkable that such was the case.
In part of the mine there is gangway
that receives loaded cars from a slant which
is about 400 feet in length. Empty cars are
hauled up the slant four at time, by four
mules. The loaded cars are allowed to run
down unattended, but are not while the
empty cars are being hauled up. The cars
are run out from the breasts to the head of
the slant, If a trip is ascending the loaded
cars are held by sprays until the empty trip
passed the top.
Yesterday afternoon William Cook,
driver, started from the bottom with four
mules and four empty cars. At about the
same time four loaded cars were run to the
top Of the slant. The top man Sprayed
the last two cars, but the others went
over the tip. The coupling between the sec
Ond and third car snapped and the first two
went down the slant like shot Cook the
driver heard the rumbing of the wheels
and sprang for an opening at the side of the
chamber He was none too quick, for al
most at the same moment the cars crashed
into the four mules. Two of the animals
were killed outright, one died a few minutes
after and the fourth was put to death by the
men in the mines to end its misery
The cars played havoc with the rails and
sills of the slant, as well as the timber work
about the place. 1t took several hours to get
the wrecked cars and carcasses of the mules
out of the place and put the slant in working
condition again.
