BERNARD M. STANLEY DEAD.
A millionaire Succumbs to Paralysis
Following Grip.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Bernard M.
Shanley, one of the best known citizens
of Newark, n. J., and probably the larg
est holder of gas, electric light, and troll
ley stocks in New Jersey, died at his
home in Washington Street at 9 o'lock
last evening. A stroke of paralysis fol-
lowing a severe attack of the grip was
the cause. 1t is thought his estate is
worth $1,000, ,000
He was son of the late Michael Shan
ley, and was born in Newark on Novem-
ber /, 1S47. He was graduated from the
Newark Academy and when very young
became his fathers partner in the con-
tracing business under the name of M.
Stanley & Co.
After his fathers death years ago he
took entire charge of the business, his
brother became partner, and the firm
was changed to b. M. & j. f. Stanley.
They were the largest sewer, street. and
road builders in New Jersey, and did
nearly all Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
work.
He became interested in street railways
and then in other financial enterprises,
engineering In the last few years some of
the largest deals in the history of New
Jersey, notably the consolidation of all
the Newark and nearby trolley lines, gas
companies in and around Newark and
other parts of the State, and electric light
and power companies.
His holding in these concerns will, IL
estimated, bring his estate up to probably
$5,O0OO00. He was president Of the Essex
and Hudson Gas Company. was interested
in the operations of the United Gas I'm
provement Company OF Philadelphia
chairman of the Board of Directors of the
North Jersey Street Railway Company;
director in the Peoples Light and Power
Company of Newark, and the United Eelc-
trio Company of New Jersey; director in
the City Trust Company of New York;
the Title Trust Company OF Jersey city;
the Fidelity Trust Company of Newark,
and was interested in many other large
concerns
When young man Mr.. Stanley married
Miss Grace Bailey, a niece OF the late
Archbishop Bailey. She died in 1880, ana
several years later he married Miss Julia
II. Hyde. His second wife and three sons
by his first wife survive him. They are
James r., William c., and Bernard NJ.
Stanley, ir.
Appreciation of Mr.. shanleys integrity
by financial men was shown about three
years ago when a syndicate of capitalists,
headed by the late Vice President Ho
bart, placed 80 900, 600 in his hands for
investment in a street railway deal.
They neither exacted a simple acknowl-
edgment of the receipt of the money from
him nor gave him any instructions, ex-
cept that it was TO be used as he thought
best in the proposed deal. II was the one
thing in his life of which Mr. Stanley was
particularly proud

dozen per day. Cincinnati and Chicago
also have a number Of houses who have
standing orders for from thirty-fye to

They are all shipped by express packed

A TRAGEDY In CHICAGO
Restaurant Cashier Shot Dead by
a Jealous Wife.

When Attacked without Warn

She Is Arrested by the Police-Her
Husband Also Taken Into Custody.

CHICAGO. March 20-A woman dressed
| in black, whose features were concealed
| by heavy crepe veil. rushed into Swans
| restaurant, $50 Twenty second Street, at
/ o'clock this morning. drew revolver
from the bosom OF her jacket, and fired
four shots. one OF which proved fatal to
the cashier, Miss Annie Strother.
At the second shot Miss Strother stag
gered against the cigar case near the
desk and then turned in vain attempt
to escape. Two more reports followed in
quick succession, and the pretty young
cashier fell 10 the floor in a dying condi-
tiOn.
Before the guests or walters could
move TO intercept the murderess she
rushed out OF the door and disappeared
No one could reach the street quickly
enough 10 apprehend or even TO catch
glimpse of her. and no pursuit was under
taken until the police reached the scene
several minutes after the shooting
The cashier was wounded twice One
shot reached her heart. and another. fired
as she turned away, struck her in the
back. None Of the acquaintances or as
s0ciates of Miss Strother who was TWEEN
ty-two years of age and extremely attract
i've IN appearance and address could give
and plausible motive for the murder Of
GERS detailed on the case advanced the
theory. however. that jealousy was the
cause. The victims employer declared
that the young woman had been an exem-
plary cashier. and that she had no love
affairs to his knowledge. She came from
st. Louis ten months ago. and shortly aft
erward took the position as cashier.
The veiled woman did not utter word
either before. during. or after the shoot
ing. She was of refined appearance, and
one Of the walters, John Clapp. who did
not see her until the last shots were be-
ing fired. asserts that she did not appear
to be greatly excited and her aim was
steady and true.
Within half an hour after the shooting
the police had taken into custody Charles
Smith, proprietor of The Poodledog sa-
loon. opposite the restaurant in which the
tragedy was enacted. The arrest OF the
saloonkeeper was the result of informa-
tion obtained by the police concerning the
murdered girls associates. Smith had
been going with her evenings and his wife
was jealous.
Mrs. Smith was arrested later She
confessed the crime.
Il shot her because she was too at
tentiye TO my husband said she.

RIGHTS IN wIFE'S ESTATE.
A Husbands PreroSative to Re-

BALTIMORE Md, March 20.-The ques-
tion whether Joseph A. Grindall may rr-
nounce legacy to him by his wife and
claim a share in her estate under the act
of 1898 amending the law of Husband and
Wife, is involved in a suit Instituted in
Circuit Court No. yesterday. The bill Of
complaint was fled by DR.. John G. Huck,
executor Of the estate of Mrs. Sophia A.
Grindall, through E. J. W. Revell, attor-
ney.
Mrs. Grindail, who was the wife of Mr..
Grindall died September IL. 1899 Her
Will, executed December 81, 1898, be,
queathed $1,000 to her husband and ball
ance Of her estate to her sisters Mary f.
Startzman and Mrs. George NJ. Griffith.
Mr.. Grindall renounced the bequest and
claimed in lieu of 1t one third of her real
estate and one-half of her personality. This
claim was made under the act of 1898
which gives husbands the same right in
the estate of their deceased wives as wives
have in the estate of their deceased hus
bands. 1t is disputed by Mrs. Grindall's
sisters. who deny Mr.. GrindalPs right To
renounce the legacy and claim a share of
