BRUTAL MURDER

Woman Shot, Beat and Thrown
Over Bridge Into the Mud.
She Will Likely Die.
(special Dispatch to The Times

NORFOLK, VA, April 2S.-Ella Forrest
tcolored), shot yesterday under peculiarly
atrocious circumstances by her jealous
lover, Richard Solomon (colored, was yet
alive this afternoon. She may recover
eventually, but there is little chance TOR
her. The woman was on her way 10 her
place of employment as a domestic yes
terday morning, accompanied by wo-
man compa Mon, when Solomon, who is
known to the police as Big Dick" met
her on Duke Street bridge. He asked
Ellen to leave her husband for him. and
wien she refused he fired five shots at
her. -Four of them struck here-one in
the neck, one in the head one in the
shoulder and one inflicted a, scalp wound.
Then he kicked her, and, finally. in his
wild rage to kill, threw her from the
bridge into the ooze of the creek, from
which the tide had but just receded. He
tfen ran, while the woman accompany
ing her secured help, who dragged the
wounded woman upon dry land and con-
veyed her to st. Vincent's Hospital. There
Dr.. Speight extracted all the bullets save
the one in her shoulder Solomon left the
scene before the helpers came. and al
though sought by the police, has not been
found Solomon is a brother Of Horatio
Solomon who some years ago killed a
man in James Street. Norfolk.

THE CITY'S GAS WORKS.
They Can Be Sold to individuals Only

After an Election.
The gas-works will hardly be- leased
during the existence Of the present or,
the incoming City Council.
The ordinance on the subject provides
that before such sale can be made the
question must be submitted to the peo-
people at a regular election. Unless the
matter comes before the people at the
May election it cannot do SO for two
years. There is hardly time enough to
get it before the people at that cleo
ton, for all notices must be filed by
MaA 1st, and neither branch Of Council
with nave met before then.
Those who are interested in the scheme
are the Messrs. Emerson. McMillen d
Co.. bankers, Of New York.
The local promoters are Mr.. Julian
.Bryat and Mr.. Philip 3. Shield A
number of local capitalists and business
men, including Mr.. Fritz Sitterding, have
become interested in the scheme, and an
effort will be made to get the question
before Council at the next meeting. The
sentiment of the Council. as expressed
during the recent campaign, is strongly
against the sale or lease of the gas
works, and it is believed that that SEN
timent will prevail when the question
comes before that body.
The promoters say that the law in ref
erence to notices being filed twenty days
before election day does not refer to
such matters as the sale Of the works,
but that may be placed on the ticket the
day before election. This is question
to be decided by the courts. however.
The promoters say that the capitalists
who wish to purchase the works will
reduce the price to the consumer at once,
and eventually get it down to % cents.
with free gas for the city and free coke
for the poor of the city.
There will be strong lobby for the
measure in Council. and an equally
strong one against it.
