A GIRLS AWFUL SUICIDE
Only Fifteen Years Old, Her Father
Opposed Her Choice.

Albany, Feb. 6.-Kate Farone, an
italian girl, Is years old, committed
suicide in horrible manner at Me-
chanicsville Sunday because her father
forbade her to marry Michael Ricceo
She had two lovers, Ricceo and Fran
cesco Cervera. The two were at the
house Sunday, and heated argument
ensued. Suddenly the girl broke away
and ran upstairs. A few moments af-
ter a shot was heard, and on running
to the girls room she was found dead.
She had killed herself with shotgun
owned by Cervera. She had seated her
self on the floor, raised the hammer of
one of the barrels and placed the muz-
zle of the weapon against her abdo-
men. Then she had hooked the ringed
end of a poker over the trigger and
exploded the gun, sending a charge
Of bird shot through her body. The
internal injuries were frightful. The
casing enclosing the heart was rup-
tured, and pieces Of corset steel were
driven nearly through the body.

Big RAILROAD ALLIANCE.
Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt Lines
Working in Harmony.


Working in Harmony.
New York, Feb 6.-The Herald
says: 1t is the plan Of Pennsylvania
railroad and their allies, as represent
ed by President A.. J. Cassatt, to OBJ
tain voice in the management of
the Norfolk and Western railway. This
IL part of the general Vanderbilt
Pennsylvania scheme which has for
its object an alliance of all the rail-
roads of the east having seaboard
terminals, whereby the eastern rate
situation will be so securely held in the
hands Of the dominant interests that
railroad wars will be impossible, no
matter what may be the move made
by the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt
lines. There is good authority for the
statement that the Pennsylvania in
terests have been buyers of Norfolk
and Western common stock in the open
market for some time.
This scheme of the Pennsylvania
Vanderbilt interests to reach into
southern and bituminous territory has
been shown by the action of the Cas-
satt contingent in buying into the Bal,
timore and Ohio and Chesapeake and
Ohio properties. Large amounts OF
the shares Of both these companies
were purchased by the Pennsylvania
people largely in the open market.
They bought persistently, but so
quietly that no one knew what they
were doing until their purchases were
completed,

RESCUED FROM FIERY DEATH.

Baltimore, Feb. GA thrilling res
cue from certain death of a family
Of nine persons occurred early In the
morning, when Norris Hamburger, his
wife and seven children were thrown
or jumped from the second story win
dow Of their home at 418 North Caro-
line street. Policeman Klingenberg
discovered the house ablaze, and when
he succeeded in awakening the family
escape by the stairway was cut of by
the flames. He called assistance, and
he and Officer Givins, by locking hands,
caught each member Of the family a.
they fell or jumped from the windows.
Mr.. Hamburger, who was q sound
sleeper. says that when he heard the
alarm smoke and flames were pouring
into the room In which he was Sleep
ing. He aroused his wife, and to-
gethsr they carried seven children
from adjoining rooms to the front Of
the house and dropped them one by
one to the ofaesfs below. 1t 10 almost
. miracle that none Of the family was
killed. The IRE was only sttinguished
by the nremsn after the iAtsrior Of The
house and It, contents had been iric-
tically destroyed. ~

cratic members were as scarce as they
were In the morning.

WeTe III ln6 morning.
Yesterday being county court day,
there were anywhere from 1000 to g.
900 visitors to the city. Collier, Tay-
lor's adjutant general, ordered cannon
and ammunition taken to the capitol
grounds, and when asked why these
warlike preparations he replied: 1.-THE
old gun has been locked up for a long
time, and we just brought It out to
give 1t little air."
The state board Of election commits
sioners met yesterday in the Capitol
hotel for short session, and then de-
cided to make an attempt to osit the
offices of the commission In the capt.
tol building. They reached there af-
ter considerable trouble with the SEN
tries, and promptly adjourned to meet
in the Capitol hotel today
1t is understood and believed that
the Democratic party, in case of fail
ure to agree with the Republicans in
Louisville, will at once proceed to Or
ganize state government. In order
to do this with the least possible de-
lay 1t is necessary that the contest for
the minor positions on the state ticket
shall be determined Immediately. Dem
ocratic Governor Beckham has at
the present time no secretary of state,
no treasurer and no auditor. 1t will
be impossible, Of course, for him to
transact business until these officers
have been seated, and 1t is with the
object Of facilitating matters In this
respect that the election commission
ers are not at work. The contests
rest upon the same evidence which
caused the legislature to decide the
Goebel-Taylor contest in favor of the
former, and the decision is already a
fOregone conclusion.

Natural History Society,

At last nights meeting of the
Natural History Society Frank NJ.
Jones exhibited roach from Porto
Rico. Mr.. Jones said there were
three species of the roach in this
city. A branch of dogwood from
the same island was also shown.
The branch was cut and taken in
doors about January l. Signs of
life were soon apparent and the
branch was soon covered with flow

Frederick Hilbiber made an es-
pecially interesting address on
"Mineralogy,' illustrating his talk
with specimens secured in this To-
cality and a number from other
places. Mr.. Hilbiber said when he
took up the study of mineralogy
about fifteen years ago, he was
surprised to find in works on the
subject so few specimens mentioned
for this locality. He determined to
see if he could add to the number.
In the past six months he has found
more specimens than in all the pre-
vious time he has been interested in
the study, securing them in the
Brandywine, Shellpot and Bellevue
quarries.
From the Brandywine quarries
Mr.. Hilbiber recently secured
piece of quartz in the composition
of which is iron, copper, aluminium,
water, and very small rubies.
This he thinks is probably new
species of mineral. He also found
crystalized specimens of black mica
embedded in Brandy wine granite.
From the Shellpot quarries he Sc
cured a quartz of the same compo-
sition chemicals as opal. Beauti-
full quartz crystals, similar to the
famous crystals Of Herkimer county
New York, were included IN the ex-
hibit. A green opal from Doublas
county, Washington, was pretty
specimen. A particularly interest
ing and beautiful specimen was a
newly-discovered mineral found in
Colorado and presented to Mr.. Hill
biber by John Bancroft. In its
composition is enough zinc and
copper, to make brass under a
chemical process.

Portland, Ind, Feb. 6.-William and
John Newton, wealthy bachelor BROTH
ers, were burned to death in the home
Of the former, one mile west Of here,

Of papers which had evidently been
carried out. All of them were covered
with blood. No actual evidence of foul

TAYLOR SUGGESTS ARBITRATION.
willing to Yield to Men Selected by
the Sunreme Court.


Frankfort, KY, Feb. 6.-Republican
Governor Taylor last night made dis
tinct and positive offer to submit the
merits Of his claim to the gubernator-
ial chair Of Kentucky to any three fair
minded men in the world, these three
men to be selected by the United
States supreme court. He will allow
them to arbitrate the case and will
abide by their decision. This an
nouncement he made to press repre-
sentative In his Office at the execu-
tive building.
Chaotic is the only word that will
describe the political situation as 1t
existed yesterday in Frankfort. This
condition arose not so much from any
thing that was done by either side, as
from the countless stories and rumors
that were spread broadcast during the
day. Early in the morning it was
positively asserted by the Democrats
and confirmed by few Republicans
that the legislative session in London
was about to be called Off. The Demo-
Gratis claimed to have the highest pos
sible assurances that Taylor would
take such action and that the next
session Of the legislature would be
held In Frankfort In the capitol build
ing today. Governor Taylor late in
the morning, however, altered the sit
uation entirely by declaring that moth
Ing had been issued revoking the meet
ing at London, and that 1t would pro-
coed 10 originally intended by him.
This was bombshell to many of
the Democratic members of the legis-
lature, who, acting on the advice of
their attorneys, had left the city Sat-
urday night and Sunday morning in
order to be away from the capital in
case 1t was decided by Taylor to con-
vey them to London for the purpose of
helping out a quorum. They had left
the city a. directed, and early yester-
day morning large number Of them
were told to return, as everything had
been settled and an agreement reach
ed which would allow the legislature
to occupy the chambers in the capitol
BY noon fully 80 of them
had arrived. When they were con-
fronted by Taylor's statement they
Immediately began preparations to
leave they city. and at nightfall Demo-

Ladies' Waist With Drop Yoke, No. 7Sos,
The recent introduction of com.
paratively plain waists has brought
forth innumerable dainty ideas for
collars, neck trimmings and fancy
Jokes to please women who aim to
be extremely fashionable and vet
insist on beautiful garnitures for
their corsages. The drop yokes
are one Of the most effective methods
of ornamentation. AS illustrated,
this waist of shrimp pink satin
taffeta is trimmed with yoke of
heavy cream lace, outlined with ex-
quisite jeweled passementerie.
The waist is mounted on Il glove
fitted lining, which closes in the
center front. The material is adj
justed with shoulder and UNDER
arm seams. 1t is plain across the
shoulders, the slight fullness in the
center back being arranged in tiny
plaits. The front blouses but little
crossing to the left side from the
lower edge of the yoke to the belt.
The correct two-piece sleeve is
made without fullness at the should
er, passementerie being applied in
cuff effect at the lower edge, which
is scalloped.
The yoke drops over the should
ers and upper sleeve, producing a
plain long-shoulderd effect par
ticularly becoming to women with
good figures.
This yoke may be made of all
over embroidery chiffon applique or
inserted tucking, and the lower
edge finished with passementerie
velvet ribbon or a ruffle of chiffon
or mousseline de sole.
To make this waist in the medi-
i'm size will require one yard oil
material forty-four inches wide,
with one yard OF all-over embroid-
cry twenty-seven inches wide. The
pattern, No. 1905, is cut in sizes for
81, "a, Sc, 38 and 40-inch bust
measure.
This pattern can be secured by
