SHOT IN THE CHEST.
Youngest Daughter of Ex-senator
Blackburn Seriously Wounded.

Washington. Jan. II. - In her apart
nents in the Wellington hotel Mrs. Lu-
ellie Lane, youngest daughter of eN-Sena-
tor ole Blackburn of Kentucky, shot her
self According to the statement given
out by the family the shooting was acci-
| dental Both of Mrs Lanes physicians
refused to discuss the subject even to the
extent of saying whether or not the
wound would prove fatal, but from the
best that can be learned she will probably
recover, although suffering severely from
the shock. A friend of the family nomi-
mated to give out a statement said at mid
night on Saturday Mrs. Lane was prepar-
ing to retire. Her husband at the time
was in the adjoining room looking over
the paper. Mrs. Lane opened bureau
drawer to get handkerchief and picked
up a handful of gloves and laces which
had been tossed together in the drawer.
Under this fluffy mass was tiny lady
er and a possession of which she was par
ticularly fond. 1t caught in piece of lace
as she raised her hand and, falling of its
own weight, struck the hammer on the
edge of the open drawer. The pistol ex-
ploded and the ball penetrated her left
breast.
What became of the ball it is impossible
to say. According to the statement given
out it struck a rib and ranged around be-
meath the left shoulder making only q
superficial wound. At the same time it is
said Mrs. Lane is suffering so from the
shock that the physicians have devoted
all their energies to rallying her without
attempting to ascertain the extent of the
injury.
Lucille was the youngest daughter of
Senator Blackburn. She was married in
1898 to Thomas +. Lane, prominent bus
mess man and politician OF Summit, n. J..
At the time of the marriage Mr.. Lane
was a chief of division in the treasury de-
partmcnt. Subsequently he accepted a
place with the Maxim Arms Company of
New York as their agent in Washington.
The position is reputed to be a good one
and the Lanes had apparently always an
abundance of money, which they spent
freely, living at fashionable hotel and
seeming to lack none of the good things
of life. Their little girl, something over
year old was one of the favorites about
the house with all who knew her. and the
particular pride of her mother. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lane, according to those who saw
them every day, were unvaryingly affec
tionate and attentive to each other, and
She. while of slight physique, was in ex
cellent health

Mills.

Providence, r. T.. Jan. 1.-THE cut in
the cotton mills went into effect today,
