STEPPED IN FRONT OF A TRAIN.
Suicide of n Chicago School Teache
Mt Reading. Pm.

Suicide of n Chicago School Teacher
Mt Reading, Pa.
Miss Isabella Fulton, a Chicago school
teacher, who went to Reading, Pa. a few
days ago to visit her sister. committed
suicide yesterday by throwing herself in
front of trairf on the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Miss Fulton was thirty-eight years
of age. Her sister Is Miss Minta Fulton
teacher in the Reading girls high school
An engine and four cars passed over the
woman's body before the train could be
brought to a standstill. She. was fright
fully mangled, her left hand being cut off
at the wrist, and her lungs torn out.
Miss Fulton had been suffering from
nervous prostration for some time and
went to Reading to recuperate. She was
blonde of striking appearance and was
invariably well dressed. Yesterday she
wore brown fedora hat, a brown cloth
dress, black coat and veil and carried a
mufT. In the early school hours she paid
visit to the high school, after which she
started cut for walk Nothing fur
ther was heard of her until a policeman
saw her near the Pennsylvania railroad
station. He did not know who she was.
but was impressed by her distinguished
bearing, and when he saw her walk along
the tracks near the canal he became sus-
picious ard followed her. She seemed to
be looking at the water below. When still
some distance from him she turned and
noticed him. Soon afterward he lost sight
of her.
The next seen of her was just before she
met her death. The coal train that killed
her coming in the northern limits of
the city. This was about 10 o'clock. The
engineers hand was on the throttle and
the train was moving at the rate of about
five miles an hour. The track was clear
and there was no evidence that the woman
purposed stepping in front of the engine.
Just before 1t reached her the woman
moved on the tracks directly in front of
the train.
When the body was finally extricated
from beneath the wheels no one was able
to identify her, and it was not until 2
o clock in the afternoon that her identity
was fully established

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
The Interstate CnmmfsslOn Criticise,
Former Colleague.

IL
The interstate commerce commission has
made a decision in the matter of alleged
violations of the long and short haul law
by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
vestigation was caused by rate war of
short duration between various competing
carriers from Chicago to Colorado common
points, in the course of which the tariffs
within a few days were reduced on fifth
class merchandise from 92 cents to 80 cents,
without any corresponding reduction to in
termediate points. The hearing attracted
attention for the reason that Mr.. Aldace
F. Walker, a former member of the COM
mission, now receiver of the AtchiSon road,
undertook to Justify his action on the
ground that the law was being secretly
violated by competing lines, and he was at
liberty to meet the rate at competitive
points without regard to the long and short
haul clause. Mr.. Walker testified that the
law was rot ard could not be enforced,
and that for this reason he was at liberty
to disregard it. He also testified that one
of the principal reasons why it could not
he enforced was the unwillingness Of the
railroad companies to cooperate in its
enforcement.
The commission says in its opinion that
Mr.. Walkers opinion ultimately comes to
this that he refuses to obey the law be-
cause he does not like it. 1t is held that no
disturbance of rates, secret or open, Gre
ates such dissimilarity of circumstances
and conditions as will justify the violation
of the long and short haul clause without
an order of the commission.

FURNACES STARTING Up.
SpnrrOvv's Point Works Expected to
Be in Full blast Within a Short Time.


spnrrow's Point Works Expected to
BE in Full Blast Within Short Time.
For the past few days there has been
great deal of activity shown at the works
of the Maryland Steel Company at Spar
rows Point, says the Baltimore Sun, and
it is stated that the works will start up in
full in all departments in few months.
Furnace B, which has just been fitted
up, will be put into operation next Fri
day. 1t has not been in use since October
p, 1888 Furnace A of the works has been
In operation since December last. and work
has already commenced on furnace c,
which will be ready to start up in sixty
days The furnace has not been in opera
tion since December 81. 1s93 when it was
blown out. Furnace D was banked Jan
uary 16. 1894
The closing of these furnaces threw
nearly 4oO men out of employment many
of whom left the town. 1t requires from
eighty to one hundred men to operate one
or the furnaces, and when they are all in
operation the company has a capacity of
producing 100 tons of iron daily.
The steel rail mill of the company is also
beng fitted up. and will be ready for ope-
ration by May. 1t closed down January |.
1874. 1t has capacity for making 1900
rails per day.
The starting up of the works will give
employment to over 1000 men. These will
mainly include former employees, and very
few. If any, new hands will be employed.
dispatch from New York states that
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, which is
allied with tie Maryland company, has
booked a number of orders for steel rails
during the past week, and all departments
OF the company are working full time.
with orders ahead for several months. The
10 per cent reduction in wages recently put
into effect has been accepted gracefully by
the men. who are enabled. through the in
creased work, to earn as much, and in
many case more. since the reduction than
before.

TRUSTS IN NEW YORK.
Conclusions of the Lexow Investigate
ing Committee.

The report of the Lexow trust inves:i-
eating committee of the New York legisla-
ture contains about 10000 words. The testi-
mony taken before the committee is re-
viewed at length, and while special
drive is made against any individual trust
the committee treats all of the combines
investigated alike
They found that these combinations 20
restrict the necessaries of life do exist, and
that the aggregations of capital which nave
been formed were organized in nearly every
il stance for the purpose of regulating
trade. suppressing competition, controlling
the output and debating prices.
The report Gwells at great length upon
the great danger that is likely to arise
from the continuance of the operations of
these aggregations of capital and protests
that affirmative legislation should be en-
acted with a view of restraining, If not en-
tirely prohibiting. the operation of such
monster combinations.

INDIAN SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
Celebrating the Eighteenth Annfver-
sary of the Institution.

The eighteenth anniversary and ninth an
nual commencement of the United States
Indian Industrial School at Carlisle. Pa.
will begin today. Extensive preparations
have been made for the occasion and SEN
ators, representatives, government depart
ment officials and educators from all parts
of the country will be present at the ex-
erciseS.
The school is established at the Car
lis!e barracks. which were built in 1155
an outpost against the Indians. and
were then granted rent free to the com
n oLwealth of Pennsylvania by the Penn
proprietors but in 1871 were purchased
from them by the United States.
The buildings erected during the revo-
luton ard subsequently. having become
dTapidated. were rebuilt in 1876 These
remained Until 1850. when they were burn
ed by the confederates under General
Fftzhrgh Lee Uhe Cuban consuD on the
night of July /. just before the battle of
Gettysburg
They were rebuilt in 1856. and were &C.
cupied as cavalry school for United
States army recruits until 1872. at which
time the post was transferred to St
Louis. and the place was practically un-
occupied until turned over to the Interior
Department for an Indian school, Sep
ternher G. 1879.
When this was done General Winfield
s Hancock, in approving its transfer to
the Interior Department for Indian
school. said: Il know of no better place

AT present there are nearly a thousand
Indian boys and girls attending the school
who are taught English and given pri-
mary education. and also an excellent
knowledge of the industrial trades and
farming. and there are suitable rooms
where the girls are taught sewing. cook
ing, laundry and housework. But the
crOwning influence in the accomplishment
of educating the Indian youth is the out
ing system, inaugurated by Capt. Pratt.
Of annually placing hundreds of boys and
girls out in families and in the pubic
schools
This evening the lecture before the In
vincible and Susan Longstreth Literary
societies will be delivered by General John

IT STANDS THE TEST.

Among the Mass of Unworthy Prepa-
rntions There Is One That Stands
Pre-emfnent.
1t is a weIl-known fact that a large percentage
of whiskics upon the market and in use today
are simply cheap adulterations. They may be
called straight goods blends any other
name that unscrupulous manufacturer dealer
chooses, but the fact remains that they simply
concoctions and adulterations which are injurious
to any who them.
In the midst of this mass of unhealthful whiskics
there stands bright exception. 1t has stoss.
out clearly before the public for twenty years.
Its purity is guaranteed by the best physicians in
the land. and it has done more to preserve health
than all the other whskies combined. 1t is
Dufrys pure malt whiskey. 1t has reputation
established by twenty years of USE and it has that
reputation to sustain. 1t is always uniform in
quality. every bottle is precisely alike. Its very
purity renders it valuable but it possesses In ad-
dition thereto medicinal qualities known to no
ether whiskey. You make mistake in buying
Duffys pure malt, but you make an egregious error
IL you allow any INSCRIPTIONS dealer for moment
to argue with you that any of the cheap aiGl-
teratel whiskies that on the market is as good
Dufy's. 1t Is false.
