the problems to be met by the two are
largely Identical. A number OF suburban
roads that have never been profitable alone
have been acquired in each case in the
belief that improvements, in the way of
modern motive power, and in other direc-
tions, and reduction of expense will enable
them to become profitable branches of a
main city line. 1t is argued that in the
same way that the Brooklyn system is now
showing immense earnings and promising
dividends in a short time, the Washington
consolidation will also be successful. The
syndicate will. with these two roads, own
three-fourths of all the street railroad
mileage in the District. The bonded in
debtedness and capitalization of the vari-
Gus roads which will be embraced in the
syndicate aggregate something like
SIS 200, 900. The net earnings of the roads
during the year 1898, according TO the
annual reports, were about half million
dollars. Some of the roads failed TO earn
their operating expenses.

picious of the deserted appearance of the
Turner home. II was she who suggested
that he investigate the matter and he. did
so.
Mrs. J. Z. Madden, a neighbor of the
Turner's, testified that on the Thursday
afternoon previous TO the tragedy Mrs.
Turner had paid her a social visit. Mrs.
Madden saw a light in the Turner home
about o'clock the same evening. This, it
appears, was the last sign of life seen at
the house.
The next witness examined was the man
who left milk al the home OF the cd
couple. He stated that the milk he left
on the Thursday morning in question had
been used and that the milk left on the
two subsequent mornings had rema ned
untouched. He took the milk away later.
believing his customers We're away on a
visit and not in need of his service.
The milkman's testimony was followed by
that of DR.. L. l.. Gott, who for many
years had attended the Turner's as their
family physician. He described the tenn
permanent of Mr.. Turner, and stated that
the old man had been a sufferer from mel
ancholia, superinduced by bodily ills. The
mind Of the man, he said, had taken a
suicidal tendency. The witness had long
feared that Mr.. Turner might do himself
bodily harm, but had never been apprehen-
sive for the safety Of Mrs. Turner.
Rev. ID. l.. Rathbun, pastor of the church
attended by Mrs Turner, had visited the
woman few days before Thursday, March
%. He talked 10 her of the condition of
her husband, and she was then OF the opin-
ion that she should take necessary precau-
tions for her safety. She feared that her
husband might injured her or harm him
self
John D. Chaplin testified that he sold Mr..
Turner the pistol which had been used by
the man to end the lives of himself and
wife. He was an intimate friend OF the
deceased, and having noticed the depres-
sion OF the man feared the result.
At the conclusion OF the hearing of the
/ testimony the jury returned a verdict in
the case of Mrs. Turner TO the effect that
she came TO her death, according to the
best information, on or before March %,
1889, between the hours of and u o'clock
p m, at the hand OF her husband, now
| deceased through a pistol shot taking eff
feet in the brain while she was lying upon
lounge, apparently asleep. in the dining
room OF her residence.
The verdict in Mr.. Turner's case was that
he came to his death by his own hand. from
a pistol shot. which entered his brain, and
that the deed was done while he was suf-
fering from fit Of temporary insanity.
The Turner's were well known in this
