COMMISSIONER

Street ard Sewer Commissioner
Patrick Fahey was fined SIS and
costs in the Municipal Court this
morning on the charge of assault
and battery. James Z. Rutan tes-
tilted that on December q swhile at
the defendants Office witness was
ordered out. He could not go out
as he could not find the combination
of the lock. Mr.. Fahey opened the
door and kicked him in the ribs and
knocked him to the pavement down
four steps by the force OF the kick.
lie had not provoked Mr.. Fahcy in
any way. In cross-examination bv
Mr.. Fahey be said hat he had read
the newspapers waiting for him.
In answer to Judge Churchman,
witness said two ribs had been
broken aud for two months he has
been confined to his bed.
To Mr.. Fahev the witness testi-
fed that he had through Harry EN-
mons, instituted suit.
Edward Fahey, a son of the de-
fendant. testified that he heard the
defendant order kutan from the Of
flee and then push him with his foot
but did not see Rutan fall to the
pavement. He did not thiLk any
undue force was used. The defend
ant said to some of the men to put
Rutan at work and Rutan said he
would not work tor the defendant.
The witness demonstrated to the
court the manner.n which the pros
ecuting witness was showed by the
defendant
William Greenwood and Edward
Martin knew nothing Of the assault.
For the deleuse John G.. Kelley
testified that he remembered the
day IN question. Mr.. Fahey gave
instructions to put Rutan at work
and he said he would not work for
Fahey. Then Fahey walked
around the rail, opened the door
aud put HIM ont and as he went out
the door Fahev used his foot and
lifted him little. He could see
everything that passed but was
not positive of the exact place where
Fahey kicked Rutan. He was lore
man for Mr.. Fahev at the time aud
is still IN the employ Of the defend
ant, There was no combination
lock on the door and Rutan did not
fall down. Rutan did not resist.
Rutan said to Mr.. Fahey, III
make you pay for it. v
Mr.. Fahey declined to make 4
statement. This m an has been try
ing to make speculation.
Rutan was recalled and said the
reason he refused to go to Newport
News was on account of his wife.
The reason he would not work for
Fahey was because the latter SAID
he did not believe Rutan could do
d. thing. He positively reiter-
ated that Fahey shuttle door when
he kicked him.
The court said that there were
two facts in this case, one was that
the assault had been committed, and
that two ribs were broken and that
shows the extent o! the assault. 1t

him out of his office.

United
SUICIDE.

Philadelphia, April ). s.-There is
now in the vaults of Undertaken
George II. Nice. at Jenklntown. the
horriblv-mangled body of woman
who yesterday deliberately knelt
down in front of an advancing train
on the Reading Railway above
Chclten Hills Station and was
ground to pieces. No friends or
relatives have yet made claim for
The torn body, upon which Coroner
Ashton will hold an inquest today.
The woman was seen to leave
Chelten Hills Station earlysyester-
day afternoon and walk on the
track toward Jcnkiutown. When
midway between the two stations
she stopped and paused, as one
troubled over some problem. but
the quick approach Of fast flying
passenger train evidently enabled
her to make decision. Dropping
the dress-sult case she had been
carrying, she deliberately knelt
down in front of the advancing
mass of steel and wood. A second
later she was mangled corpse.
The deed of self-destruction was
witnessed by James McClain, a
teamster living at Wyucote. Nc
CLAIM states that the woman's act
was plainly a deliberate and sue
cessful attempt to end her life. He
saw her lay down the dress suit
case with calm dellberation, and
then place her body in the position
to be hit by the advancing train.
After the mangled body had
been picked up, a card was found
which showed that the unfortunate
woman was Miss E. Herdman,
member Of well.known Pittsburg
family. For. the last six weeks she
had been a patient in DR.. John K.
Mltchell's sanitarium. at No. 4216
Chester avenue, where she was
being treated for nervous prostra-
tion.

dent A. ID. Melvin will preside.
Many members and delegates left for
Claiborne by steamer yesterday after
noon whence they went to Easton by
rail, arriving in time for the mass
meeting which was held last night in
the interest of the temperance cause.
Rev. D. l.. Elderdice was chairman
of the meeting. The Maryland Con-
ference embraces Maryland, Delaware
the District of Columbia, parts of
Virginia, West Virginia and New
Jersey and includes about $50 charges
This session of conference which is
the seventy-third since the separa-
tion from Epis copal Mcthodism,
promises to be of unusual interest
because ofseyeral important questions
which are to be considered, including
some overtures which were sent down
by the last General Conference of the
church which met last May at ATTAIN
tic City.
At the opening session this morn.
ing President A. ID. Melvin will read
his annual address and Rev. DR.. W.
r. Graham, pastor Of the church at
Westminster, Md, will preach the
conference sermon. Among the spe-
cial services of the conference will be
the Christian Endeayor and Sunday
school rally which will be held tomor-
row evening. Rev. B. W. Kindley
will be chairman Of the meeting. On
Thur sday evening meeting in the
interest of literature and education
will be held. Rev. f. II. Bens on, be-
ing the chairman. A missionary
meeting will be held Friday evening
Rev. J. W. Kirk, chairman. The
ordination sermon will be preached
next Sunday morning by Rev. L. O.
Grouse, pastor of the Lafayette Ave-
nue. Church, this city. Next Monday
night a meeting in the interest of
ministerial support will be held. Rev
S. w. Coe will be chairman.
Little interest is being displayed
in the election of pre- esdent of the
conference as it is undcrs TODD that
President Melvin will succeed HIM
self. President Melvin has already
served four years in that capacity,
and five years is the limit. While
the term of olicc is limited to five
years only one minister has served
the fun limit the custom being to
elect new president every three
years. Rev. j. d. kinzer who pre-
ceded President Melvin in the Office,
was the first to break this custom.
At the conference held last year
at Westminster, Md, an effort was
made to have the conference vote in
favor Of q lve-year time limit for
pas torates. The effort was not sue
ccsslul but the conference decided to
submit the proposition to the church,
cS.
The publishing interests of the
church will also be considered at
length and report on the Twentieth
Century Thank Offering Fund,
which has in view the establishment
Of printing house in this city, will
be made.
