ELEVATED
TO Be BUILT
Street and Sewer Directors to
Adopt the Resolution.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
Believed That Work Will be Started
on the I'm mprovements as Soon
as Permission il
Given.

Matters are now in such shape that it
is almost Il certainty that the resolution
granting permission to the r., w. & b.
Raiiroad Company to elevate tracks
through this city will be passed in a
short time, and perhaps Mt the regular
meeting tomorrow morning, by the III
rectors of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment. The adoption of the resolution
will ensure the erection of large shops
and another extensive improvement bs
the company.
Regarding the matter, President Web
Stcr of the board said yesterday:
There is scarcely doubt but what
the elevated road will go through, and il
is highly probable that the resolution
giving the company the right to build
will be passed at our meeting on Tues
day.
\ conference between the directors of
the Street and Sewer Department, the
aity and railroad engineers will be held
Vt the Office Of the department this af-
ternoon at o'clock. Mr.. Webster sn; ]
that the object Of the conference was
merely to arrange for the position o.
supports In the streets for the structure.
The railroad company is willing !,
grant all concessions which il deems es-
pedient, and MS n consequence it is hard
~ likely that there will be any contention
rs to what crossings will have columns.
President Iawton of the Board of
Trade, who recently conferred with Of
ticials Of the railroad company in Phila-
delphia expresses his opinion that the
company will begin work on the elevated
structure and shops MS soon as the reso-
luton is passed.
The first move no doubt will be the
erection of the elevated tracks. AT the
same time forces of workmen will be at
work on the transfer depot at Edge
Moor. =
The work Of building additions to the
| freight depot at Fourth and Pine streets
md to the freight and passenger shops
will follow in due time, as will other ex
'ensive improvements which the company
has in mind.

cluded the inquest over the remains Of

MECHANIC CHARGED
WITH STEALING COAL,

Enoch Kates was arrested last night
"harged with stealing coal out Of Penn
Syvania railroad car beyond Eleventh
street bridge. Saturday night almost
oar load of coal was stolen and boys of
the neighborhood have been taking coal
from the cars by the bagful for some
time.
Last night Patrolman Barr saw Kates
filling a basket with coal and Hates ran
when he found that he was discovered
The policeman pursued and captured
him. When running after Kates the po-
'iceman fell and hurt his nose. He gave
he prisoner in charge of Sergeant Mas
sey.
Hates is painter and of respectable
.haracter and there seems to be no doubt
that it was necessity which drove him to
taking the coal. He has wife and sew
pral children and it is said has found
Il hard to provide for them for some time
vs. he has not had steady work. 1t Is
likely that Judge Churchman will take
these circumstances into consideration
when Katcs is arraigned before him this
morning.

MRS. WILLIAMS IN FRENZY.
Slayer's Wife Sees Visions Of
Murdered Man.
Young Prisoner Cannot Sleep and May
Lose Her Reason. Trenton Po-
lice on Murderer's Trail. Htu~

Visions OF murdered John krausei
haunt the imprisoned wife of his slayer,
Mrs. Frank Williams, of this city in jail
in Trenton, and she is almost stark mad.
She seems to be losing her reason, prob
ably through her constant crying.
Through nearly all OF Saturday night
she shrieked as if in mortal terror.
patrolman went to her cell and found her
crouched in a corner.
HORRIBL-- VISION OF DEAD.
Pointing to the floor, the terrified pris-
oner said: "He was here with me,
Krause was here, and l saw the blood
streaming from big cut in his head. 1t
flowed down his face, but through it 1
could see he was watching me with one
eye. He had one eye open and was
looking straight at me-"
Police Surgeon ,an Dusen gave the
wretched young woman hypodermic
injection, when brought on sleep. She
has slept hut little since the crime, and
has eaten scarcely enough to sustain life.
One of the statements made to the
detectives Saturday by Mrs. Williams,
was that when her husband and Krause
qnarrelcd she ran out in the yard and
screamed for help, hut no one heard her.
This does not agree with her statement
of yesterday. in which she denied wit
Messing the murder.
MURDERER TRACED
4 TO NEW YORK.
The police have traced Williams, the
slayer of Krause to new York. 1t has
been learned that on the evening of the
murder Williams purchased ticket to
Philadelphia over the : niladephia n
Reading Railway, but only rode as far
ms Trenton Junction, where he exchanged
his ticket for one to Bound Brook. Here
he took the Jersey Central Road t. New
York. Chief of Police Hiner today sent
to the New York police department 100
circulars containing a description and
picture of Williams, together with al
offer of 5000 reward for his arrest nnd
conviction. He also sent 500 of tho same

If Della beat Patrick she did not do

in the celebration Della did not get al
the best of it for she bears evidences of
the effects of a lively time.
