DEMANDED AN APOLOGY.
MAKING RAILROAD PRESIDENTS
New York Journal.)

tNeW L 0fk JOURNAL
The directors Of the Pennsylvania Rail
way Company point with some justifable
pride to the fact that the newly elected
president of the road, Mr.. Frank Thorn
son, has spent his life in its service,
rising through years Of service in ma
chine shops engineering and operating
departments to his newly won position
as the head of what is perhaps the most
powerful corporation-illegal combina-
tions-illegal combinations like the
Standard Oil Company excepted-in the
United States The record is indeed
creditable to the company and to Mr..
Thomson, who is a man of force, as well
as of technical training
Yet it will not be astonishing il this
appointment shall prove one Of the last of
a technical railroad man to the supreme
authority in a great railway corporation.
In these later days skill in influencing
legislation counts for more than capacity
to run locomotive, there is more value
to the actual benefciaries of railroad
earnings in an exact knowledge Of the de-
vious devices of Financing" than in the
command of the skill of a civil engineer,
ability to break the spirit Of the law
bearing on combinations and discrimi
nations, while seemingly observing its let
ter, will recommend tits happy possessor
to more rapid advancement than the best
mechanical skill ever trained.
The president Of the New York Cen
trail came from country law office;
the presidents of the Illinois Central and
Lake Shore were born to the purple;
the president of the Southern Pacific
road obtained his advancement because
of his money, and obtained his money
by defrauding the people of the United
States. 1t is idle to multiply illustra-
tions. There will be more railroad presi-
dents made in the office of J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co. in the next ten years than
in all the railroad machine shops in the
next century.

Gently made an argument before the Fish
and Fisheries committee, was not MAX
ing an argument to allow non-residents
10 fish in the waters OF this State as was
reported. The matter pending before the
committee was bill to prevent such in
terference by non-residents. Mr.. Bond,
understanding that fair construction
of the pending bill might interfere with
the bona fide employment Of skilled nom
resident fishermen as servants simply,
was contending that the law should be
so written as not to interfere with the
living OF non-residents as laborers and
servants. He was in favor of any law
which excluded non-residents from fish
ing ON their own account in our waters.

Richmond, Va, Feb 9.-A1rs. Laura B.
Dowden, formerly housekeeper at the
home of Maj Lewis Ginter, on West
Franklin street, has brought suit for
damages for S25,000 against that gentle
man and his niece, Miss Grace Arents.
The suit was instituted yesterday in the
Law and Equity court by the counsel
for the plaintiff.
The amount claimed is for alleged de-
famation of character. UNLESS it is settled
out of cotrt the case will certainly at
tract considerable interest. The defend
ants wealth is estimated at over $4,000,
000 He is well-known cigarette manu-
facturer and a member of the American
Tobacco Company. Miss Arents spends
all of her time here.
Up to the 2nd of January Mrs. Dowden
was the housekeeper at Maj. Ginter's s
town home. On New Years eve night
there was bali, attended by the leading
society people. The next morning after
that affair it was asserted that a piece Of
iewelry was missing
Miss Arents, it is said, consulted with
Maj Ginter. with the result that Mrs.
Dowden was discharged. She was, how
ever, asked to remain until the next day.
In the mean time, it is asserted, a police
detective was called in and the house
keepers trunk searched for the missing
jewelry, but it was not found.
DEMANDED AN APOLOGY.
Mrs. Dowden employed an attorney,
who wrote to the defendants that his
client would not prosecute the matter il
Maj Ginter and Miss Arents would with
draw in writing the Objectionable insin-
uations they had made. Maj. Ginter,
through his attorney, wrote to Mr.. Wen
denburg, denying that he used insulting
language, but Miss Arents declined to
apologize, saying that she did not accuse
Mrs. Dowden herself, but that she simply
repeated what Maj Ginter had said.

AFTER CHURCH.
A Northern Pacific Conductor Kills Him
self and Wife.


Tacoma. May l6.-At l2:95 o'clock this
afternoon while Mrs. Louis L. Nc
Carthy was returning from service at
ST. Leo's church she was shot through
the brain by her husband. John Arthur
Mccarthy. who then turned his weapon
against himself Mrs. Mccarthy died
at 81. Joseph's hospital at 1901 o'clock
and Mccarthy expired an hour later at
the Fannie Paddock hospital. The
tragedy occurred on South T. street on
the sidewalk two doors from the home
Of the mother and sister OF Mrs. Nc
Carthy. At the time of the shooting
Mrs. McAtee mother of the murdered
woman. and Mrs. McDougal, her sister,
were with her, the three having attend
ed church together.
Mccarthy walked up to the women
and shot his wife and then himself
without word being spoken. Mrs.
Mccarthy fell on the sidewalk. while
her terrified mother and sister shouted
for help. She was carried into the near
est house and the flow Of blood stopped
somewhat before being removed 10 the
hospital.
McCarihy's first shot at his own head
only grazed his skull. realizing which
he reached down. picked the revolver
from the sidewalk and fired again, the
bullet entering just back of his right
ear. glancing upward and going
through his head. Neither victim nor
suicide recovered consciousness.
MI and Mrs. Mccarthy had been llv-
ing apart for some time. In one of his
pockets was found a letter from his
wife stating she was sick and could
not go down town to see him. Nc
Carthy received this letter yesterday or
this morning, His wife's refusal to see
him undoubtedly prompted the shoot
ing. Mccarthy was 81 years old. He
belonged TO the order of Railway Con-
ductors and had been yardmaster for
the Northern Pacific at Sprague and
Spakane
