AUTOPSY OF THE PRESIDENT.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
The following report of the autopsy
upon the remains of President Nc
Kinley was issued at 5 o'clock:
"The bullet which struck over the
breast bone did not pass through the
skin and Gid little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls OF
the stomach near it's lower border.
Both holes were found to be per-
fectly closed by the stitches, but the
tissue around each hole had become
gangrenous. After passing through
the stomach the bullet passed through
into the back walls of the abdomen,
hitting and tearing the upper end OF
the kidney. This portion of the bull
let's track was also gangrenous, the
gangrene involving the psncreas.
The bullet hss not yet been found
There was no sign of pelitonitls OF
disease Of other organs. The heart
walls were very thin. There was no
evidence of any attempt at repair on
the part of nature, and death result
ed from the gangrene, which affected
the stomach around the bullet
wounds as we'll as the tissues around
the further course Of the bullet.
Death was unavoidable by any eur
gical or medical treatment and was
the direct result of the bullet wound "
The report Of the autopsy has
given rise to theory that Czolgocz,
in order to insure the accomplish
ment Of his purpose, poisoned the
tu'lets which be fired, but this
theory is seriously doubted by ex-
per;s on gunshot wounds.

GOING TO PITTsBURG.

Gould Determined to Extend the
wheeling & Lake Erie Hut May
Not Try for New York.
NEW YORK, May 24-The Mail and
Express to-day prints the following ar
ticle on the much-discussed question
as TO how the Gould system OF railroads
will reach the seaboard:
George j. Gould is negotiating for
an entrance for his railroads into this
city. This information comes from
banking interests in a position to know
what is going on. He will not build
and, according to a good authority. will
probably not seek to get contrel of any
existing trunk line. 1t will be a traffic
deal.
Opinions were expressed to-day that,
except so far as the Pittsburg extension
of the Wheeling e. Lake Erie and
Wabash Is concerned, Mr.. Gould Will
not disturb the present conditions, as
he merely aims to get the most favor
able trade conditions. He intends
however, TO build into Pittsburg.
"A strong reason why Mr.. Gould
wants this road is that he has a cor-
tract for rs per cent of the tonnage OF
the Carnegie Company, which will re-
luce the freight which the Pennsyl-
wanda and Baltimore & Ohio received.
The later desire TO prevent the con-
struction of the new road, and have Of
fered inducements to MIR, Gould not 10
build.
"A story was current to-day tina. the
controversy might result in Mr.. Gould
securing satisfactory traffic connections
with either the Pennsylvania or BATH
more & Ohio, instead Of Erie or Lacka-
wanna"

concerns outside the big combine. II
has its own ore and fuel supply, rail-
roads for switching purposes. and prob
ably the cheapest fuel supply in the
country. Hence it would be of great
moment should it be taken into the Nor
gan combine.
AS to the impression that has gained
some credence that the new trust will
pay more attention to manipulating its
stock in Wall street than to making
legitimate manufacturing its leading
feature, the Manufacturer says: This
is a mistake. To keep the shares at a
high value it will need the utmost care
in the management of it's interests. 1t
is the sale and manufacture of the pro-
ducts which will make the stocks valu-
able and it will be found that less at
,tention will be paid to the stock market
and more to manufacturing as a result.
In fact, there will be less of the stock
gambling feature about the organiza-
ton than resulted in the constituent
parts of the corporation before the
amalgamation."

lighting and the foundation Of the new
art Of electrical navigation. Electric
tugboats will give new life to our can
ais, and with electric f~erryboats will
revolutionize our harbors."
Mr.. Edison believes that he can man
ufacture the new battery at a price not
exceeding the present cost of the old
style lead batteries. He said an auto
mobile thus equipped ought to travel
seventy-five miles without recharging.
This solves the trucking problem" he
continued. you can sent your truck
out in the morning and it will stay out
all day and still have enough energy
left to get home on. The battery I'M
doubtedly can be used to advantage III
street car propulsion, and by it power
from the tides can be used. In the Bay
of Fundy they have ffty-foot tides.
This vasst reservoir of power could not
be used because the old lead batteries
would not charge quickly enough"
Thus do the marvels of electrical in
vention multiply. Soon a nan may
carry in his pocket power enough to
run a railroad train.

Isaac Williams Wanted Good Gravy,
Hated Cold Feet.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, May pa
Isaac Williams and his wife, formerly
Della Simmons, have been married only
a few months, yet both want a divorce,
Justice H. P. McCarron tied the nuptial
Knot for them on January II last, and
yesterday they sought to get his aid in
untying it.
The husband said he had made a fool
of himself. His wife would not patch
his trousers, darn his socks or let him
keep chickens. A special grievance was
that she could not make good gravy. He
also alleged that she stayed out late at
nights and came to bed with cold feet.
On the other hand, the wife alleges
that Williams was too fastidiots and
she wanted a divorce so that she could
go to Cincinnati and join a circus. JUS
tice McCarron will take a few weeks to
think the matter over.

THE VIEW STORAGE BATTERY

OF great Importance to the world Is
Edisen's latest and probably his great
est invention, a light storage battery,
which experts say is destined to revo-
lutionize traction by electricity.
The obstacle OF excessive weight has
been overcome by Mr.. Edison, and ell
ectric traction for carriages, trucks,
cars and even ferryboats, it is pre-
dicted, will new come into general use.
The Electrical Review says in its cur
rent issue: "Mr. Edison has given the
world what promises to be another
epoch-making invention. He has pro-
duced no invention of broader utility
in the electrical field since incandes-
cent lighting was evolved from his busy
brain. The perfected battery means
the solution of many dinlcult traction
problems. the bettermerk OF electric

THE INDEPENDENTS AND THE U. y
STEEL CORPORATION.

According to the American
turer the iron and steel manufacturers
who were almost scared out OF their
wits at the formation of ne United
States Steel Corporation, are getting
bravely over their scare. hey not only
are no longer afraid of the big fellow
but assert that IL it doesn t respect the
rightssof the independent manufacturers
it will hear from them. The general
expectation has been that the big coma
bine would dictate prices without re-
gard to either consumer or competitor,
but the independents now declare that
if 1t tries that sort of game it will sud
denly finds itself with a fight on hand
which it win find to be no picnic.
What new source of weakness has
been discovered in the overgrown cor
poration is not known, but it is a fact
that the little fellows are assuming a
beligerent attitude. They allege that
should the United States company make
prices without consulting them they
will retaliate. On the other hand,
should higher prices be forced on the
consumer the latter will be driven to
the independents.
Another rumor is to the effect that
the greatest competitor Of the new
trust. the Jones & Laughlins Company,
is to be absorbed by the U. S. Corpora
ticn. This is emphatically denied by
B. F. Jones, the acknowledged head of
Jones & L~aughlins. THE fact remains,
however" remarks the Manufacturer,
that each of the constituent concerns
OF the big corporation were taken in af-
ter the most strenuous denials were
made by the directors. Even the Car
negie Company was swallowed after all
the partners had almost sworn on
stacks Of Bibles that nothing of the
sort was in contemplation. Mr.. Jones
may be proud Of the structure he has
aided in building, and he is handing
down to his posterity a monument to
pc proud of, but like all such structures
founded by man, they can be purchased
and sold by mar providing the price il
adequate"
The Jon & Laughlins plant is to-
day, the Manufacturer points out, the
best equipped Of any Of the steel making

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, May pa
Andrew jackson Johnston, who has
heretofore borne a good name, and
whose home is at the corner OF Front
and Pleasant streets, a good neighbour
hood, is in Jail awaiting the action of
the next grand jury, charged with the
most henious otfense known to GRIM
inal Jurisprudence.
The allegation is that Johnston, dur
ing the absence of his wife from home,
and in the presence of his eight-year-
old son, committed an outrageous as
sault upon the person of his ~six-year-old
daughter, Onia, and according to the
testimony of DR.. Charles McLain. who
examined the child, he accomplished his
devilish purpose.
According TO the evidence adduced be-
fore Justice Of the Peace VI. Hayes, be-
fore whom Johnston was given a hear
ing. Mrs. Johnston left home this morn
ing and was absent several hours.
Johnston mad been drinking some, but
did not appear drunk.
When Mrs. Johnston returned home
the little girl was crying, and upon
quCSIlOAihS lAS IVY MIS-. UOnASlOl
learned enough to rouse her suspicious.
She examined the little girl and accused
Johnston of the henious crime.
Johnston turned on his wife and gave
her a severe beating.
She then went before Justice Hayes
and swore out a warrant for her hus-
band. who was Don arrested by Chief
of Police Price.
At the examination before the justice,
DIR. McLain, who had examined the
child, swore that rape had been COM
mitted, that the child was severely in
jured, but would recover. Mrs. john
ston's and the little boys stories were
heard, and Johnston was sent to Jail
without bail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The Johnston family recently moved
here from the country, and have borne
a good reputation, though Johnston
sometimes drank more than was well
for him. He was a hardworkfng man,
and found steady employment at odd
JOBS about town.
There is great indignation in the COM
munity and a general feeling OF out
ragged decency exists, but there has been
no threat of mob violence.

THE TARIFF on DEATH.

This is not a newly discovered fea-
ture of the Dingley law, for death is
one of the few things permitted to come
freely to the American consumer. 1t
has reference to inheritance taxes,
which have received a large share Of
attention in both Europe and the
United States. The possibilities of rev.
emu from this source are beginning to
be realized. France has just revised
her entire system of death duties and
expects to largely augment her
thereby.
The Saturday Evening Post furnishes
a brief resume of the results secured
by European governments from the
levy. Emperor Augustus under the
Civil Law of Rome, first levied a ) per
cent. assessment upon certain legacies
for the benefit Of the army. The first
State of the Union to levy on estates
was Pennsylvania, which enforced the
tax in 1926. Since then nearly every
State has enacted such a law.
Of the foreign governments, Great
Britain probably receives the largest
sun from this source of revenue. The
first returns from death duties in Eng
land were received in 1896, when they
amounted to about $1S8, 900. Since
then many changes have been made in
the 1ouy AaaOrdino IN tho fnrfv-thir6
report of the commissioners of his maj
esty's inland revenue for the year end
ing March 81, 1900, the total received
from all sorts of death duties was 1922
046,0 900. How much the tax has in
creased in recent years may be judged
from the fact that in 1887 the returns
were but $37, $50, 900, while in 1897 the
returns were $50, 391 900.
By the system of graduated duties
now assessed in France, estates are sub
ject to a tax of from 1 per cent. to 21
per cent. in the direct line, and between
Is and 1872 per cent. among the unre-
lated. In 1880, the inheritance tax OF
France yielded $4,9S4, 900, while in 1899
the tax yielded SIS, 1887, 900.
During the past five years the death
duties of Russia have produced about
S14. 500, 900 on a percentage of l for
children and grandchildren and Of 3
per cent. for persons not related. Rus
STA has had such a law only eight years.
Austria has a revenue of about 81
669, 900 annually from the inheritance
tax, while the ratio of direct taxes &c
the inheritance taxes is as SO to l.
