The Anne Eliza Johns Chapter OF

A New York sporting authority
asserts that the percentage of fatal
tiles is much greater on the foot ball
field than in the prize ring. But the
estimate of percentages where two
contestants are engaged in one case
and twenty-five in the other is very
unfair and misleading. The sugges-
tion that low tackling and mass plays
should be barred on the foot ball field,
If followed, would probably improve
the game both as spectacle and a
matter of safety for the players.

Camden, N. j., Oct. %. The will OF
Mrs. Emma Zane, who, with her
daughter, Mrs. Sarah NJ. Shaw, were
murdered Mt their home, ON Pine street,
on October 18th, was admitted to pro-
bate to-day. Mrs. Zane was the owner
of three houses. One of these housea
she willed tn her son, Edward G. Zane,
and the other two, together with tho
residue of the eatate and personal prop
erty, she bequeathed to her daughter,
Mrs. Sarah Shaw, her heirs or assigns.
The will also appointed Mrs. Shaw the
sole executor.
The only heir of Mrs. Shaw, who met
death at tine same time Hs the testator,
is her son, Eli Shaw. who ia now in
the county prison, accused of having
murdered his two relatives. Although
Shaw, by the death of his mother and
grandmother, becomes the beneficiary
OF the greater portion of the latter'e
estate, his relatives and acquaintances
are loath to believe that he committed
the terrible crime OF which he stands
accused. He is % years of age, and has
horne an excellent character. The evi.
dence against him thus far made public
by the authorities is purely circum
stantial, hut the police and the public
prosecutor say they are fully convinced
that the young man is guilty of the
crime.

way would mako saving of 3, s04 miles
in the journey from Seattle to Dawson
City, the present journey covering A, 353
miles. The railway will be lG5 miles
along the TaEu Valley. A bridge of 100.
feet span would be needed TO cross the
Tolsuque River near the mouth of the
Taku. The Clocloheen would have to
be crossed by a bridge 100 feet long.
The route lays to the mouth OF the
Silver Salmon, thence TO pbint on the
Sinoakakeen, where 1t would reach a
plateau 5000 feet above sea level. A fter
crossing the Nekana River tho road
would extend through gap in the
Pitcher Mountains to plateau 900
feet above sea level, then descend to the
valley of Tesin Lake, about 9, GOO feet
above sea level. If the railroad is built,
