ever since Sunday morning. when she
was found in the yard in front OF her

found she had been severely beaten, skicked
and bruised. He admits thai he threw
her out of the house giving as an excuse
that she was drunk. The. police-say the
couple have been accustomed to fight at
frequent intervals where one or bothfhap.
pened to be in liquor.
Murphy has shown no signs Of sorrow
at his wife's critical condition. TO an
oficerta the Jail, when told that his wife
was likely to die he remarked: Her,
she ought to die; serves her right; let her
60 and commit suicide If there's no other
way to end her life. -
Murphy will probably be charged with
manslaughter when he is brought before
Judge Robinson. Coroner Perry has
taken ..charge of Mrs. Murphy's body and
will hold an inquest Thursdayeafternoon
at $50 O'Clock in the afternoon. MIR.
Perry has impaneIled the following jury:
John r. Farr, George W. Wells, Geo. W.
Beale, Theodore B. Davis, Albert r.
WEIGH and George D. Loring.
Murphy will probably be arraigned as
soon as the coroner's jury returnsxa YER

is attorney for Murphy.

POLO NOTES.

| Word was received in this city yester-
day from Mr.. Charles T. DIN, tseoretary
of the National Polo league, giving the
| information that Fred Jean, with Port
| land part of the time last season; Nicholas
McGilvYay and Thomas Burgess, both
with Bath last season, had signed with
New Britain. This, of course, knocks
in the head Manager Doherty's chances
of securing these star players for his
Shipping City team. He has the refusal
of some crack-a jacks on his reserved list,
however, and will have one of the strong
est teams in the league.
Holderness and Barlow have signed
with Waterbury, which club thus secures
TWO good men. These are all the Nation
al league contracts that have yet been
signed. While no contracts have been
signed yet for the Maine polo league it
Is learned definitely that Portland will
have practically the same men as she did
last year, which ensures the lovers of the
game in this city lots Of opportunities for
roofing this winter.
Mr.. Joseph Foster announces that he is
been employed by the Yarmouth electric
road during the summer. Joe is as good
centre or half back as there is in the
state and whatever team takes him will
make strong addition.
The meeting of the Maine Polo league
will be held at the Shannon house in
Bath. OCTOBER 25th at 10 a. m. At this
meeting a schedule for the coming season
will be arranged.
D. T. Doherty. manager of the Bat
team, says that he has not given up his
claim to Burgess, who has just been
signed by New Britain. Mr.. Doherty
claims that he has not been treated fail y
by the manager of the New Britain clnb
in the case of this man and does not in
tend to let up on his claim as long as he
has thread to hang by.
City hall will not be ready for polo fer
some weeks yet owing to the tardiness
with which the material for the new floor
is being shipped to Portland. 1t Will te
we'll along in December before the hall
can be leased and in the meantime Man.
ager Burnham will have to find some
other place in which to open the season
here.

sTAND1NG ROOM AT pREMIUM.

To see pretty Kath crime Roher. This
is what greeted ell the late corners at the
Portland theatre to see Miss Rober in the
great sensational comedy drama ''She
Couldn't Marry Three" last evening, and

avoid this terrible crush at the doors in

A SHORT STRIKE.
More Wages Were Asked for Under a
Locked Lamp Rule.

More wages Were Asked Tor Under a
Locked Lamp Rule.
1t has just leaked out that there was
short and fruitess strike on the part of the
miners employed at the VIM. Penn colliery
on Wednesday, last.
On the afternoon of the preceding Tuesday
three Lithuanian miners were burned by an
explosion of gas in a chute. The air courses
and other regulations in that section Of the
mine were all right and at first the cause of
the explosion was a mystery. An investi-
CATION showed, however, that some debris
from the chute had blocked the fan pipe.
The fan boy called the attention of the men
to the fact but they were too busy at the
time to clean out the pipe and small body
Of gas accumulated 1t was ignited by the
lamp of one of the men and the explosion
followed
The result of the investigation led Inside
Foreman Golden to give orders to the lamp
man to give the men in that section of the
mine locked safety lamps. When the men
appeared for work on Wednesday morning
and were told of the order they struck for
more wages, claiming that they would not be
able to do as much work with the dim light
Of a locked lamp. Foreman Golden ap-
peared upon the scene and said no increase
could be. 1t was stated that the men were
making fair wages under existing circum-
stances and to demand an increase of the
company might result to the disad vantage of
the men. The strike was declared off and
there has been no bolt since

They WIN Be OF the Finest, ana VIII
Cost S5.oOO,oOo Each.
Washington, March 12.-Three new
battleships of the staunchest type
afioat were authorized by the house
committee on naval affairs yesterday,
and a provision for their construction
was inserted in the naval appropriation
bill. At the same time the committee
agreed on a maximum price of S400 per
ton for armor plate for our vessels,
Increased the force of naval marines by
473 men, and put matters in fair shape
for decision today on the location of
dry docks, probably four in number,
capable of accommodating the largest
sized war vessels.
The new warships provided for will
be of the finest pattern, 1t Will be two
years, doubtless, before they can be
placed In commission. One of them,
the committee decided, should bear the
name of the Ill fated Maine. The ap-
propriation for the construction was
not fixed being referred to the sub
committee on appropriations, which
will report TO the full committee today
The cost. it is expected. will be about
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-03-12

S5,OOO,OOO each, though for the fiscal
year covered in the bill the amount Of
expenditure may not exceed 1000 600
each. An important question was
raised as to whether the expenditure
for the new battleships should be de-
frayed out Of the $50 600 emergency
bill, but this subject was passed over.
The committee also agreed upon a
provision authorizing the secretary Of
the navy to purchase armor plate by
contract or otherwise at a cost of not
exceeding S400 per ton. This was agreed
to, however, only on the express pro-
viso that this item should include the
nickel used in the armor, for which a
large outside percentage heretofore has
been paid by the government. one Of
the most important features of the
work on the bill was an agreement on
an appropriation Of $135, 900 for outfit
ting, rationing and uniforming 473 ad-
ditional marines. This increase in the
naval force was made the subject of a
special and urgent request sent to the
house after the submission of the regu-
lar recommendations.
The outlook is that four new dry
docks will be authorized, two on the
Atlantic coast, one on the Pacific and
another on the gulf. If the present ex-
pectations are materialized the docks
will be authorized to be constructed at
Boston, Mass. Algiers, New Orleans,
Mare Island, Cal, and League Island,
Philadelphia.
With the amounts to be paid for dry
docks and for armOr plate, in the ag-
gregate not yet determined, the bill as
1t stands carries in all something like
$36O0O,0O0 which, however, will be
largely augmented by the other items.
Rapid progress has been made with the
BILL and it is likely it will be in shape
to report to the house Monday or Tues
day.

Price basis No more cutting prices at our
place. You find every garment marked dis

you take it at the price marked-nothing less
and nothing more. Since the One Price sys-
TEN has been in operation our business is
greater than ever it was before. People
express surprise at the prices marked on our
goods. We have always sold cheap, but
under the One Price system our prices are
still lower. We mark every piece at bottom
rock and that mark becomes our One Price.
We can sell cheaper than others because we
manufacture all our own clothing and have
no rent to pay. Spare a few minutes to look
at our show windows-one filled with men S
clothing and the other with children's cloth
ing, After looking you will agree with us
that there never before was a better or larger
display of clothing in childrens suits and
novelties in Shenandoah Anyone who wants
to see the latest styles in clothing should not
