The action OF the Union Republican
City Committee, Saturday night, in
deciding to run complete city and ward
tickets at the city election in June
next, is significant. 1t means that if
the Regular Republicans in the Legis-
lature persist in refusing to vote for
MIR. Addicks for United States Sena-
tor, the latter's friends Of the Union
Republican faction will refuse to sup
port the candidates of the Regulars for
mayor and other city offices next June.
This action was foreshadowed by the
threat made by State Senator Abbott,
Union Republican, several days ago,
and printed in Every Evening.
The Regular Republican faction
leads the Union faction in votes, in
the city of Wilmington and New Castle
county, and united these two factions

small plurality, at the last city
election, and TO carry New Castle

1t remains to be seen what thi
threat Of the Union Republican faction

OF the situation by nominating the bes

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. When Mrs.
Michael Malone OF Jag Gladys avenue
entered the room of her husband, last
night, and attempted to arouse him,
she was Mortified to find that his head
was almost severed from his body. The
police were notified, and after an in
yestigation reached the conclusion that
a murder had been committed, but are
at loss for cause.
Malone was 45 years old and up to "a
few weeks ago had been employed MS a
barber. The fact that no knife or razor
was found in the room was taken as
conclusive proof that Malone had been
victim of an assassin.
Soon after Z o'clock his wife, who
had supported the family since her
husband lost his position several weeks
ago, returned home from employment
in factory. She entered the bedroom
and seeing her husbands head pro-
truding from the ctvers concluded he
was taking nap. Two hours later
she again vent to the room to call her
husband. Receiving no response she
| lifted the covers from his head and
| was startled to find his throat cut.
| The body was fully clothed. The gar
ments and all the bedding were soaked
with blood.
