TWO THROATS CUT.
Philadelphia the Scene of n Murder
nnd Suicide.

Philadelphia, Jan. Thames Wilson,
aged % years, murdered his wife and then
committed suicide at their residence at
800 North Eleventh Street this morning.
Both deeds were accomplished by the use
of a razor, the suicide nearly severing his
own head from the body.
The couple lived with Mrs. Foy sister
Of the dead woman. Wilson nor his wife
appeared for breakfast this morning. Later
a servant tried the door of their room, but
could not open 1t. Then the door was
broken open. Wilson and his wife were
found lying on the bed weltering in their
own blood. Their threats were cut from
ear TO ear.
An examination of the room indicated
that Wilson had cut his wifes throat while
she was asleep. Wilson tried to hang him
self with a rope, but failed. Then he re-
sorted TO the razor and cut his own throat.
Mrs. Foy says the couple lived very
happily and quarrel between them can
not be alleged as the cause Of the crime.
Wilson was formerly brakeman on the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and in
an accident suffered internal injuries which
prevented his further employment. He un-
derwent an operation but without success.

NEW YoRK's BICYCLE SHOW.
Gr.at Crowd and Much Interest in
the Exhibit.

New York, Jan. 21.-At least 5000 per-
sons went to Madison Square Garden to-
night to look at bicycles. to talk of bicy-
cles. and listen to explanations concern
ing the parts OF bicycles as they are being
made fora1S9S. For the first time in New
York since 1897 a genuine bicycle show
was opened. II was the first one at the
Garden since 1896. Judging from the crowd
the tide of interest and enthusiasm in such
displays is not ebbing.
As a spectacle the exhibit has the bril-
liancy and variety of the affairs of former
years, although the number of exhibitors
is not so great nor the individual decOra-
lions quite so lavish. and the hunt for soul
venirs went on as of old
There are five makers of automobile
vehicles, both electric and petroleum,
among the exhibitors, and some of the ma
chimes at their booths are among the chief
attractions of the show.
Major Taylor. the negro speed wonder,
was central point of attraction at space
where he stood exhibiting a peculiar style
Of chainless cycle, on which he broke many
of the best records made in the world by
men either white or black.

which he made $50 consecutive centuries
was also one OF the features. In all about
thirty varieties of chainless wheels were
shown.

OLD FEUD REVIVED.
Eddy-Ramsey Gangs Meet in MUIR
derous Conflict.

Morristown, Tenn, Jan. 21.-Advices
have just been received here that the
Eddy Ramsey feud was resumed in Han
cock County, on the Tennessee and Vir-
ginia line, yesterday, and that several men
we're killed and many Others wounded.
Troubles between these families began
over year ago, when one of the Eddy
family killed one of the Ramseys. A few
days ago trouble broke out between them
and one man was killed and another so
badly wounded that he will die.
The conflict OF yesterday. which was a
pitched battle. in which a score of men
took part, was the immediate result of the
tragedy just mentioned.
More than 100 shots were fired and the
reports from the scene Of the fight are to
the effect that a state of perfect lawless
ness exists. The place where the battle
occurred is so isolated that il is almost i'm
possible to learn the particulars.
