DESPERATION
Drove a CoDsumptive's Wife to At
tempt to Murder Her Husband and
Commit Suicide.

Boston, November 15.-Frank Nc
Lane Mclaughlin and his wife, Mary,
were found in an unconscious condi-
tion in their home in South Boston
this morning. Both had been shot
and both, it is thought, will die.
The man was revived by the physi-
clans who were summoned and in a
short time was able to talk. He in
formed the police that his wife had
shot him while he was asleep, and
that she afterwards attempted to kill
herself
Mclaughlin, who is in the advanced
stage of consumption, had been order
ed to the hospital to-day. The police
believe that his wife, driven to des-
peration, decided to end both of their
lives. They have lived in abject des-
titution and there was only a single
piece of bread in their rooms. Two
months ago a child was born to the
couple and died at the age of two weeks
and the event seemed to weigh heavily
on the woman's mind. They had been
married about year.

IMMIGRATION
Was the Subject Under Discussion in
the K. Of L. Assembly Yesterday.

Louisville, Ky, November 15.-The
morning session of the general assembly
Of the knights of Labor was devoted to
a discussion of the report of the COM
mittee on immigration. 1t was the pre-
vailing sentiment that some vigorous
steps should be taken to restrict immi-
grafton, and statistics were presented
showing that nearly ten million foreign
laborers had come to this country dur
ing the last twenty-three years, all Of
which, it was claimed, worked hard
ship on the American working man.
The report that Past General Grand
Master Sovereign had stepped down and
out because he desired to fix his fences
for the presidency on labor reform
ticket in 1900 was vigorously denied on
all sides.
''Mr. Sovereign has no such idea," said
one of his closest advisers this morning,
"and there is absolutely no truth in it.
If the presidency was offered to him l
suppose he would accept it, as almost
any other man would do, and the
knights of Labor would glory in him,
but he has no designs on the presiden-
tial chair His resignation was solely
for the purpose Of giving him more time
and a broader and wider field in which
to work for upbuilding and strengthen
ing of the cause in which he is so Wit
ally interested"

PRACTICED IN SECRET.

Philadelphia, Pa, November 10
The practice of the University of Penn
sylvania foot bal eleven to-day was
in secret, and lasted for an hour and
a half. George Woodruff gained much
information on his trip to Cambridge
last Saturday, and this afternoon made
practical use of this knowledge. Be
fore the practice started he spoke of
the game between Harvard and Yaie,
explaining the different plays and tell
ing the men what to expect. After
this talk the Varsity went through a
half hours signal work, in which they
rehearsed different sets Of signals and
practiced for new formations. Then
they lined up against the SCRUB for
nearly an hour The Varsity played a
good game and scored three touch
downs and field goal.
The physical condition Of the team,
barring Dickson, right end, and Weeks,
quarterback, is excellent. Dickson S
injured knee will in all likelihood keep
him out of the Harvard game, while
Weeks complaint is d weak stomach,
which is coming around all right and
will not prevent him froin playing.
Hedges will take DicksolL place next
Saturday, with Boyle at tAe outer end.
The latter was in the lineup to-day
for the first time since the Brown
game, and played his usual fine game.
The Varsity team will be taken
away, probably on Wednesday. to some
secluded place for a few days of rest
and secret practice in signals. The
exact place is kept secret, but it is
thought to be Delaware water gap.

A NEW COURT HOUSE.

Clarksburg Mail.
The county of Upshur was establish

lished in 1854 and the first court was
held in September of that year, with
Judge Gideon Draper Camden on the
bench. A part of the building was
burned in 1855 and was repaired in
1855. The several terms of court in
the interium were held In the Bap-
fist Church and in John Maxwell's car
penter shop. The contractor for the
basement of the court house was Major
Abram Roger. John Maxwell had the
contract for the remainder. An order
was recently entered by Judge Ben
nett for the county court to build a
new court house, the old one being con-
sidered unsafe. Plans have rct yet
been adopted.

MANSLAUGHTER
Was the Verdict Reached Against James
Williams, at ST. ClairsviIle

Sunday morning the jury returned a
verdict of manslaughter against James
Williams, who has been on trial at st.
Clairsville for the murder of Wash
Rinker several months ago. The jury
was out nearly twelve hours, the case
having been given in their hands late
Saturday night.
Williams, it will be remembered, was
tried at the last term of court, and was
convicted Of urder in the second degree.
An appeal was made to the circuit court
and the verdict annulled and new trial
granted.
Williams attorneys, it appears, have
made hard fight for him, and seem
satisfied with the verdict rendered Sun
day, as the term he can be sent up is
from one to twenty years, and as it is
not thought that he will be sentenced
ltQ the fullest extent.
to last night no sentence had been
pn him by Judge Holiingsworth,
possibly will be to-day.
