a wealthy resident, tof Washington, who
some time ago went to Glenwood Springs.

northeast corner of 18th street and Massa-
chusetts avenue The family is well known
IN Washington society. a sister of the de-
ceased Miss Maude Noble, being particu-
larly popular.
The members of the family are all out of
town just now, summering at Lake Cham
plain. Mr.. Noble was about thirty-f1ve
years of age. He was man of means, and
had never taken an active part in business.
For a number of years past he has not been
in the best of health but his family and
friends did not regard his condition as in
any way serious. He was married about
eight years ago to Miss Yulee, daughter
OF ex-senator Yulee of Florida. She sur
wives him, as does q little daughter, the
only child.

ANUSEMENTS.

New National Theater - Robertson's
School was the bill for the seventh week
at the New National last night, and the
oppressively hot weather did not prevent
a good-sized audience from enjoying the
production in every particular The play
is familiar to all theater goers or at least
the plot but in Robertsons style it is per-
haps more enjoyable than in any other
form. The company, individually and col
lectively, did well, and the performance
went smoother than 1t generally does on
the initial night OF the week. Fred Bond
as Jack Poyntz. Charles Mackay as Lord
Beaufoy. Mr.. and Mrs. Findlay as the old
schoolmaster and his wife and Mary San
ders as Naomi Tighe were all excellent as
a matter Of course, but 1t remained for
Mr.. William Boag to make the hit OF the
evening.
His delineation Of the villainous old tu-
of the part, and his work in 1t was per-
haps equal to anything he has ever done.
Percy Brook made good Beau Farintosh
and Miss Edythe Chapman was effective
as Bella. In the school room scene a bevy
Of pretty girls enlivened things considera-
bly,, and among these were Miss Marti,
Miss Corinne Parker. Miss Allen, Miss Sea-
man and Miss Lockwood. The play was
splendidly staged. School" will continue
the farces which have been the order of the
productions of the Washington Stock Com
pany, it was received with such good grace
last night that 1t will undoubtedly prove
as great q success as its predecessors in
the summer season.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-The domestic
troubles of VIM. Lehman and his wife.
which have been before the public at inter-
walls during the last six weeks eliminated
today in a shooting affray, which will prob
ably resul. in Lehmair's death. Mrs. Leh-
mair says that Charles A. johnson, who
did the shooting. is her brother; Lehman
says that the man is Mrs. Lehmair's former
husband.
For some time contest has been waging
between the Lehmairs to the occupancy
of a house in West 35th street each irving
to oust the other Late one right about
six weeks ago, Mrs. Lehman complained
to tie police that her husband had tried to
murder her. and policeman was stationed
in front of the house for her protection
During the night Mrs. Lehman jumped from
window, alleging that Lehman had at
tackled her. He was arrested. and while in
a cell at the police station tried to kill HIM
self by cutting the arteries in both wrists.
There are two stories of the shooting to-
day. According to Johnson's account, his
sister. Mrs. Lehman. asked him to remain
with her last night for her protection. AT
o'clock in the morning, he says, Lehman
kicked in the door of Mrs. Leh,nairs room
and. in spite of his warning that he would
shoot. forced his way into the room. Five
shots were fired. of which three took effect:
The examining surgeon decided that Leh-
mair would die, and SO a patrolman took
Johnson before him. That's the man who
shot me-" the injured man said, family.
He is not my wife's brother, he is her
former husband"
At the hospital Lehman revived some
what and was able to tell his story of the
shooting He had been unable to sleep, he
said, and had decided to go to his wife's
room and get sleeping powder that was
there. He knocked at the door, he said,
and hearing the voice Of man, believed
that the person had no right to be there
and ordered him out When the man re-
fused to come he broke down the door to
eject him. Then he was shot.

DEAD BY HIS WAGON.
A German Dairyman Of Wheeling
Mysteriously Murdered.

Wheeling, w. Va. Nov. 4.-There was
a mysterious murder on public road,
two miles from this city, today. Henry
Kiel, a German milk dealer 60 years Of
age, came to town as usual this morn
ing, from his dairy, three miles out
the national road. He delivered milk TO
his customers as usual.
About II o'clock he started home and
since then no one can be found who saw
him alive. A member of his family be-
came alarmed and started in search of
him. He saw the milk wagon at the
roadside. the horse eating grass from a
fence corner. Kiel was not in the
wagon, but everything else was in its
proper place, the money drawer con-
tanning the usual amount of change.
A walk of fifty yards brought the
searcher upon the dead body of Kiel
lying by the roadside with big bullet
hole through the left breast, just above
the heart. There was no blood in the
wagon.
The place where he was killed was on
Stackyard Hollow road, a thoroughfare
little travelled.
The theory of suicide is secuted. 1t
is not known that Kiel had an enemy in
the world. Coroner Schultze was sum-
moned and ordered an autopsy and will
hold an inquest Thursday. The police
are completely bafiied. Mrs. Kiel was
quite i'll. and when she learned of her
husbands death, her condition became
critical.

tions have been made for establishing

The hope of the railway mail service
Is stated to be to dimish the local work
In postoffices to minium in the mail
ing and free delivery divisions.
The most marked advence of the
year in the transportation service was
the establishment of steel railroad
postal car lines, of which they are now

and these handled 505.4S pieces of mail
daily. These facilities are made by the
railroads. conditioned on commensur-
ate compensation by appropriation.
