MADE TOMORROW
The cargo Of coffee. all OF which has now been
unloaded into lighters fro n the plague ship J.
W Taylor, is still closely watched as ever by
the Quarantine Police. The Health officials refuse
TO talk about the subject for they say that they
have decided the question once for all that the
coffee cannot land On Saturday the first Of the
lighters will be released from Quarantine since by
that time the coffee aboard of this lighter will
have been out of the ships hold for eight days
What will then become of tho lighters Is hard
TO tell. Members OF the Health Board say that
if the coffee is brought to land 1t will be seized and
condemned If found unsanitary The chief cause
Of danger Is from rats. and according 10 DR.. F. H.
Dillingham;. who investigated the ship and re-
ported to the Health Board. the killing of the rats
is not sufficient They must be cremated as well
and this means the destruction Of both ship and

sci and the Health Board look upon Saturday as
the time when the final test of authority will be
made.

Willis Clark, an Actor, Tried to
Murder His wife and Child-Com-
mitted Suicide.
NEW YORK, December 23.-Willis
Clark, 40 years of age, a variety actor.
tried to kill his wife and little child
and committed suicide in Broadway in
front of the Fifth avenue hotel to-day.
He fired four shots. one at his little
girl, two at his wife, missing them.
He then placed the muzzle Of the re-
volver in his mouth and fired. The
crowds in the street at the time were
SO great that they overflcwed the side
walk and extended into the street.
Clark was walking with his wife and
child. Clark directed the attention of
his wife to one of the Dewey columns,
and as she turned her head he pulled
a revolver from his pocket, aimed at
his wife and fred two shots. He
quickly fired another shot at the child,
but in the throng his aim was spoiled
and the shot went upward. All three
bullets passed through his wife's hat.
The crowd scattered in all directions
and Clark had a clear space for him
self. He placed the muzzle of the re-
yolver deliberately in his mouth and
fired. He fell with a scream amid
pandemonium and shrieks.
According to the statement OF Mrs.
Clark, her husbands act was due to
temporary insanity brought on by
financial misfortunes. He had been a
member of the company of the late
Sam T. Jack and up to the time the
latter's playhouse was closed, had been
constantly employed. Since then, he
had been unsuccessful and had run
largely in debt.
For many years past he had been
writing jokes for minstrel men and
comedians. Recently, he started the
publication of a monthly periodical
called Willis Clark's Joke Book.
This gained a little circulation
among vaudeville actors, but was not a
paying venture. Several months ago,
he went to Chicago in order to adver-
tise his book more extensively through
out the West. He was not successful
he has been in trouble owe board bills
and grew moody and quarrelled with
his wife, whom he more than once
threatened to kill. Mrs. Clark said
that they were married twelve years
ago in Cincinnati, and that her home
was in Canton, O. Since Clark re-
turned from Chicago he had not been
living with his wife. This morning,
she said, her husband sent her a letter
asking her to meet him with their lit
tie girl. She did SO and he asked them
to take a short walk, as he had some
thing important to show them. He
was moody, she said, and had scarcely
spoken until they reached the spot
where the shooting occurred.

LITTLE HOPE FOR THE MEN.

ror at the Brownsville Mine
PITTSBURG, Pa, December "a
special to the Post from Brownsville
says:
There is scarcely any hope that any
man in the pit is now alive"
These were the words OF Mine IN
spector James Blick, uttered by him at
10 O'Clock tonight, as he stood at the
mouth of the Braznell mine, In whose
depths thirty men are entombed. That
they will get out alive is exceedingly
improbable. and tonight mothers,
wives and sisters mourn them as dead.
Since early this morning the impris-
oned men have been without n air
or food. They are separated from
eager searchers by walls Of debris
which fell when the explosion took
place and blocked the road to liberty.
At 1880 o'clock this morning the
5eath-dealing blast was loosed. Owing
to a shortage of ars less than the
usual number of men entered the pit.
The mine is that of the Stockdale Coal
Company, and lies four miles from
Brownsville and fourteen from Union
town. 1t is known as the Braznell
mine, and lies near a station of that
name, on the Redstone Creek branch
of the Pennsylvania railroad. At FIVE

Sale Of the MonongnheIa River
Railroad Involved six Million
Dollars.
BALTIMORE, December 23.-An i'm
rortant railroad deal which has been
pending for some time was concluded
yesterday at the Carrollton Hotel, when
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany purchased for cash the Mononga-
hela River Railroad. Possession of the
new property will pass in April next.
The road is said to have cost 81, 900, 900
ten years ago. and the price paid is re-
ported to have been Sc. 200. 900.
Ex-senator johnson n. Camden and
his associates who owned the railroad,
made the sale. The road was built By
the ex-senator, who was the chief own
er of the property, as well as of the ex-
tensive coal interests oft the Monongah
Company which was affiliated with the
railroad. In the sale TO the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad the M~onongah Company
retains the coal interests, which in
clude over 20, 900 acres of coal lands To-
Gated in the Fairmont and Monongah
districts of West Virginia. The effect
of this deal is TO turn over to the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad the transpor-
tatioi business in this territory and to
divorce this interest from the business
Of coal mining.
The abroad run from Fairmont to
Clarksburg, and unites the line of the
Baltimore & Ohio system running TO
Chicago. 1t is built along the face OF
the nine-foot Pittsburg coal vein, and
through its connections at either emu
secures exceptional facilities for reach
ing the markets of the east and the
west.

been organized in New York in the past
possibilities of harm. which spread in a
true panic name The weeks events
have sufficiently proved the reality of some
of the difficulties which were apprehended.
But it is not to be disguised that bitter
animosities and competitions of powerful
money forces and even social enmities have
played a large part in the innumerable cur
rents coursing beneath the surface. Thus
some OF the most powerful money inter
ests in this country are in conflict over
the control of the public utilities in the
Greater New York, the gas war being an
incident. Their manoeuvers and counter
moves have stirred up the market like the
grapple of levithians in a pool of water.
Again the entertainments of the trust COM
panies on the banking field in the last few
months have aroused criticism and repro
batioa from conflicting interests. There is
reason to believe that there is a willing
ness to utilize the weeks events to exer-
else some suasion upoH the trust CON-
parties to keep more strictly within their
own field. 1t is recognized that liquidation
which has been largely affected during the
week had become essential and that the
financial fabric is on a much more substan-
tial basis by reason of it. The conviction
is practically universal that the completion
of preparations for the annual settlements
will mark the passing of the crisis.
Sentiment is not so unanimous as to
whether such preparation is yet COM
pleted.
