The change taking place in the nature
Of wealth is illustrated in the fact that
last year the income of landowners
from land in England and Wales was
II per cent. of the total estimated value
of annual income, whereas in 1870 the
income from land was 38 per cent of the
total. OF course there has been an in
crease of aggregate annual value in the
last thirty years, but 1t has been in fac
tories shops and dwellings, which rose
from So to 66 per cent of the total.
Railways rose from to per cent,
while mines and other kinds of property
rose from to per cent. The total rat
able value" last year was $S78, 900, 900, or
1858 900, 900 more than in 1870.

sauIting His Wife.
William Chapel, of Steubenville,
was given a hearing yesterday after
noon before Justice Srolowitz on the
charge of feloniously shooting his wife,
Ethel Chapel, with intent to main,
disfigure and kill. The defendant
made no defense, and at the conclusion
of the prosecutions testimony was
held for the Criminal Court grand jury
in the sum of $4,000 bail.
The witnesses examined were all in
mates of Ella Miller's house Of i'll
fame in alley C, where Ethel Chapel
has been staying under the name Of
Ethel Stewart.
Last Sunday week Chapel came to
the house to see his wife. While
there, without the slightest provoca-
ton, he drew revolver and fired five
shots at his wife, who was sitting
with her back to him. Two Of the
shots took effect, one in the arm and
the other in the breast. Chapel has
been held awaiting the result of the
wounds, which at first were thought
would prove fatal. The wife, how
ever, is improving rapidly and was
able to be present at the hearing yes
terday.

Howard Assisting the Prosecuting
AttOrney-Other Cases.
There was a very interesting ses-
sion of the Criminal Court, Judge HUI
gus. yesterday afternoon, the leading
case at bar being that of State v. John
Mooney and Frank Friday, indicted
for the murder of James Hervey. The
defense was represented by Col. w. w.
Arnett, while Hon. John A. Howard
was associated with Prosecuting Mey-
er for the State. Quite a number OF
spectators were present.
The defense opened the session by
filing a plea in abatement. to which
the State objected, this being based
on the fact that there was no prelim-
mary hearing. The motion to file was
overruled by the Court and an excep-
ton taken. Defense then demurred to
the indictment, on the ground that it
was unconstitutional, and that was
also overruled. A formal order was
then prepared, and plea of not gull
ty entered, and the case was set down
for April 9th. Bills of exception to the
ruling of the Court were rendered and
made part of the record.
In the case of State v. Samuel Mil
Ter, the demurrer was overruled.
In the case of State v. Robert Pleas
ants, the demurrer was overruled and
there was like action in the cases OF

CINCINNATI, April 2.-The annual
municipal and township elections are
being held in Ohio today. The con-
tests involve the control of party organi-
cations as well as local offices. In GIN
cinnati it is the old fight against George
B. Cox as the local Republican 1eadSS~.

by Colonel julius Fleischmnn for mayor
and the fusion ticket by State Senator
Alfred M. Cohen. The latter ticket ia
equally divided i'll the nomins tons be.
tween Democrats and anti Cox laepub-
Gcans. Cohen is q Democrat.
Both candidates for Mayor are promi-
nent Hebrews. The fusion ticket won
easily three years ago, but the result
will be so close today that parts of each
ticket will likely be elected. In Glove.
land and Toledo the factional fighting
has made the situations peculiar. Sen.
ator Hanna is quite an issue in both
those cities. In Cleveland thero have
been many meetings, but none in Gin
cinnati. In Toledo, Mayor Sam Jones
is a factor for municipal ownership, es-
pecially Of the natural gas pipe line.
In Columbus only minor officers are
being elected, but fight over street
railway franchises magnifes the city
council into parliamentary dimensions.
In Dayton, Mayor Jinderinuth, with n
full ticket, stands for reelection with q
fight against DR.. j. L. Loves as the Re-
publican leader and an issue for cheaper
city lighting.
The women are taking an active part
in the contests for members of boards Of
education, for which offices they arc
electors and, in many cases, candidates.

DELAY in QUAY CASE.
Some Senators Showing n Dispositiou TO
Postpone u Vote-Other Busi-

WASHINGTON April 2.-The taking of
the vote on the Porto Ricon bill tomor-
row will displaoe the Quay resolution,
which was set for that day, and Sena-
tor Chandler, chairman of the commit
tee ON elections, has given notice that
he will postpone calling it up until
Wednesday. The committee will ad-
journ the Clark hearing in order TO give
its attention to the Quay resolution
Wednesday, but as 1t is not expected
that the latter matter can be disposed of
i'll one day, il is probable that the ueces.
sity for going on with the Clark case
after "Wednesday will cause another
postpopement of the Quay resolution.
There arc several speeches 10 be made
on the Quay case and there is quite a
noticeable disposition on the part If
some senators still further TO postpone
the vote on it. Senator Penrose, how
ever, announces his purpose to press the
consideration as rapidly as possible after
1t il once taken up.
The Quay resolution is subject to dis
placement by appropriation bills, con-
ference reports and the Spooner resolu-
ton for the Temporary government of
the Philippines.
