a suit to recover insurance on the
life of his wife. whom he killed on De
cember 81, 1893, has been commenced
in Philadelphia by Professor Sgithin
G. Shortledge, who is nov residing at
Kennett Square in Chester county
The suiE. which is to recover the sum
of 81 OPP from the Providence Life and
and trust company, is one of the most
remarkable in the history Of life insur-
ance.
The tragedy which ended the life Of
Mrs. Shortledge was enacted in Media
on New Years eve and caused great
sensation. Several years before that
date Professor shcrtledge had come to
Media with his wife and family and
established what was known as the
Media academy for young men. For
several years the venture was success
full, the school having high class
patronage. Then Mrs. Shortledge
died.
In November, 1896, Professor Short
ledge married Miss Marie Dixon Jones.
Shortly after his second marriage the
professor began to act straugels. Oa
the night of the killing, six weeks after
the marriage, Professor Shortledge in
vited his wife to go out with him for
a walk. A short distance from the
house he shot her through the heart
and then attempted suicide, but was
disarmed by neighbor.
In the trial which followed the pro-
fessor was acquitted on the ground oi
insanity and was confined in an asylum
until year ago. There is no case of q
parrellel nature in the insurance annals

Little Encouragement In Sight For
Success of the Plan.
CROOKSTON, Jan. 4.-Ledru Guthrie
Of Grand Forks, in an interview con-
cerning the progress Of the project to
build a canal which shall connect the
great lakes with the Red river, says
that the plan is perfectly feasible, and
that the company in New York has
made a map of the proposed route
showing all of the elevations, and CIV
ing the data of the necessary work to
complete the water connection. Mem
bers of the company have prepared a
bill and are now in Washington for the
purpose of getting it introduced as a
senate measure. It is said, however,
that the Minnesota senators are op-
posed to the project, and without their
aid it will fail. The plans as drawn up
make it necessary for the projectors to
cross, the reservation lands, and the
Minnesota lumber merchants claim
that such a project would have an un-
desirable effect upon the reservoirs of
the upper Mississippi. For these rea-
sons Mr.. Guthrie is inclined to the be-
lief that the scheme will be blocked for
many months, perhaps years.

HAVANA, Jan. 3.-Today General
Wood issued an important order Civ
ing freedom to forty. men in the prov
inee of Santa Clara. Some of them
had been detained without trial and
others were suffering excessive pun
ishment. All had been released ten
months before by an order issued by
General Bates, but they were imme-
diately re-arrested by order from di-
vision headquarters ON the ground that
a department commander did not have
the power to pardon. After looking
carefully into the case General Wood
decided that the judgment of General
Bates regarding their release was wise
and consequently today's order setting
them at liberty was promulgated.
