GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD
COMBINATION PERFECTED

Chicago, June 17.-That the Harri-
man combine has secured control of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
and that composite agreement has
been made to perfect community of
interests among roads with tracks
enough to twice belt the globe, is gen.
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure of Mr.. Hartman for
the East. accompanied by John NJ.
Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and Saw
1ngs bank, was announced in support
of the statement that Mr.. Mitchell
and other bankers would furnish the
funds for the completion of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul transfer.
The meeting of the western officials
with Hartman is believed to have
been the result of the recent contro-
versy over the control of Northern Pa
citic stock, which drove short holders
to cover at $1,000 share. A few
small roads out of Chicago are not
parties to the agreement, but it is I'M
derstood that they will consent to any
thing that will maintain rates and end
the squabble that has been kept up in
the past among the various western
lines.
II was asserted tonight that all the
roads west. northwest and southwest
from Chicago to the Pacific coast will
be controlled in future by the follow
ing interests:

MRS. KENNEDY FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER

Kansas City, Mo-, June ia jury
in the Criminal Court Saturday decid-
ed that Lulu Prince-Kennedy was
guilty for having killed her husband,
Philip ii. Kennedy, January 10th last,
and assessed her punishment at ten
years in the penitentiary. When the
verdict was read this remarkable
twenty-year-old prisoner, whose cool
Indifferent manner has for five months
baffled the Jail officers who have had
her in charge. looked straight ahead of
her. She neither burst out crying nor
moved a muscle.
The murder of Kennedy occurred
January 10th last. in the new Ridge
building, in the center of the business
district. Kennedy, who was contract
ing agent of transportation company,
was sitting at his desk in his office
when called to the door by DR.. Cross,
the woman's physician.
Mrs. Kennedy followed the physi-
clan closely, asked her husband If he
intended to live with her, and. receiv-
ing II negative answer, began shooting.
She fired five shots, all of which took
effect, and any one of which would
have proven fatal. Kennedy died al
most instantly, the only words escap-
ing his lips being: 1T wasn't her gun
Before taken away by the police, the
woman kicked the PROSTATE man in

FERRY BOAT SINKS WITH OVER
ONE THOUSAND PASSENGERS

New York, June 15.-The wooden
side-wheeler Northfield, which has
been In the service of the Staten ISL
and Ferry Company for the past thir-
ty-eight years, was rammed last night
by the steel hulled propeller Mauch
Chunk, used as a ferry boat by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. The
collision occurred just off the Staten
Island ferry slip at the foot of White
hall street, and in less than twenty
minutes afterward the Northfield,
which was crowded with passengers,
sank at the outer end of the Spanish
line pier, in the East river.
The Mauch Chunk, which was badly
damaged, landed two dozen passen-
gers who were aboard of her. Over
100 of the passengers of the sunken
Northfield were dragged out of the wa
ter by people alongside shore and the
crews of the fleet of river tugs, which
promptly responded to the ferry boats
call for help. A few of the North
fields passengers were hurt in the ac-
cident and the police believe that some
lives We're lost.
Captain Daniel Gully of the tugboat
Mutual, who saw the ferry boats crash
together, says that Immediately after
the collision between twenty-five and
thirty of the passengers leaped into the
water and that many of those per-
ished. Captain Gully also declared that
he is sure that over 100 of the North
fields passengers We're drowned. The
captains of other tugboats who We're
early on the scene, are inclined, how
ever, to think that the disaster was not
so serious as regards loss of life. Thus
far no dead bodies have been recov-
cred.
The reason for such difference of
opinion as to the extent of the disaster
is that the widest excitement pre-
vailed on the Northfield. The tug Mu-
tual saved in all about seventy-five per-
sons from the Northfield and the tugs
Unity and Arrow saved between them
$50 persons. Two policemen of the
Old Slip station claim to have rescued
nearly thirty people between them. As
soon as the crowd which had followed
the sinking ferry boat along the river
front were able to render any aid they
worked with n will, and in many IN
stances men sprang into the water to
save life. The greatest service was
rendered by the tug boats. which cir
cled around the Northfield and made
bridge to the Spanish line pier. Men
and women clambered over the tugs to
the shore.

Pueblo, Colo, June 15.-Derver
News Special. shovels were got
out by business men in that portion
Of the city south of the river late yes
terday afternoon to clean from their
sidewalks two inches of hail which
came down in about twenty minutes.
In some places the hail was driven into
drifts that reached n depth of eight or
ten inches. Streets, sidewalks and
roofs were so covered as to give the
appearance Of midwinter. North of
the river there was considerable hail,
the storm sweeping in from the west
and travelling southeast. Some of the
hailstones were as large as marbles
and reports of damage are expected
from ranchmen having berries and 9TH
er small fruits.
Reports coming in last night from
ranches east of the city along the Ar
kansas, in the highly cultivated Sec
tion around Vineland, Artman and Av-
ondale, are to the effect that while
there was drenching rain with some
hail no damage was done. OF to the
southwest the hail was severe. but in
that section less damage is likely to
result than east of the city.
Boulder Colo, June 15.-Boulder
county was visited by hail storm be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday morn

lasted all day. Farmers in from the
surrounding country say that the dam
age was great between Marshall and

not greater than quarter of n mile in
width on the average. In places 1t
spread out for n mile. Its general
course followed what is known as
"Gunbarrel road" going north from
the coal camps to Longmont. Its
southern terminus was the Shanahan
ranch at Marshall. Alfalfa was laid
low, but it is thought 1t can be saved.

ground to such n degree as to be n

Of way was the cause of the disaster.
Captain Abraham johnson was in
charge Of the Northfield and Captain
s. @. Griffin was in command of the
Mauch Chunk. Each lays the blame
for the collision on the other.
The Northfield, with load Of pas
sengers, variously estimated at 800 and
1,20O, at 6:01 p. m. started out of the
west slip at Whitehall street for st.
George, Staten Island, and at 5:53 p.
m. the Mauch Chunk left the railroad
slip at Communpow for Whitehall
street. The latter craft was abreast
of the barge office at the Battery when
the Ncrthfield came out of the slip.
An exchange of whistles between
the boats was follwed by the crash.
AS the humping of the ferry boats IS
not unusual in this harbor the passen-
gers on the Northfeld did not for a
minute or so realize the seriousness Of
the collision. When, however, two
firemen ran up on deck to save them
selves from the inflow of water and
the Northfield was being driven at full
speed up the East river instead Of
down toward Staten island, and all the
time screeching for help, they knew
that something serious had happened.
Then commenced the panic, which
continued until the Northfield went
down. At no time was the Northfield
more than 500 feet out in the river be-
yond the bulkhead line, but the tide
was running with the velocity of q
mill race, and had the vessel sunk out
in the stream only the tugs would
have been able to give assistance.
Captain Abraham johnson of the
NOrthfield was arrested about mid
night on charge of criminal negli-
gence.
Captain Griffin of the Mauch Chunk
went to his home in Jersey City not
long after the accident occurred. Off

There were twelve teams on tho

The officials of the Staten Island

Northfield at the time of the collision.
The passengers say that the usual rush
hour crowd was aboard, and that it
numbered fully 200 men, women and
children.
