HEAD NEARLY SEVERED,
Negro Murders White Wife at Boston
Through Jealousy.

Boston, April I'm a rage from
jealousy and with such force that the
weapon broke under the fierceness of
his stroke, James r. Elisha, a west end
negro, almost cut off the head of his
white wife Jennie, with q razor in their
home, IL Phillip street, just before
noon, today. The woman was found
dead on a landing and Elisha was ar
rested as he was descending the stairs
with the dripping razor in his hand.
To the police Elisha said he was glad
he had killed the woman. He was AZ
years old. Facts obtained by the police
are said to show that the man was very
jealous of his wife and that quarrels
were frequent. Two visitors, Mabel
Banks and James II. Kelley CALLED on
the Elisha couple. this forenoon, and
the hosts extended the courtesy of sew
eral cans of beer.
Just before II o'clock, Elisha and his
wife began quarreling in the presence
of the visitors and Mrs. Elisha tried
to escape from her husband. She ran
up stairs to her bed room on the fourth
floor.
Elisha, with growing anger, drew a
razor and started after her. The male
visitor, Kelley, became alarmed ana
rushed out for help. Policeman Fallen
was only Il short distance away and
hurried to the house. Entering with
Kelley they met Elisha coming down
the stairs. The negro had in his hand
Il broken razor from which blood still
was dripping. He was placed under
arrest and search for Mrs. Elisha was
made. Her body was found on the
| landing on the fourth floor with barely
| a spark of life left. The woman's head
was nearly severed.
Elisha apparently was under the in
| huence of liquor. He confessed his
crime and said that he was glad he had
| done it, as he would be free from trou-
| BILE on account of his wifes flirtations
with other men.
Mrs. Elisha was very pretty white
woman, 26 years of age. Before her
marriage she was Jennie De Long of
Amsterdam, n. Y, and her mother now
resides there.
Mrs. Banks and Kelley have been ar
rested as witnesses in the case. Elisha
is at the Central station. The medical
examiner has charge of the murdered
woman's body.

57TH CONGRESS.
Advocates Of Cuban Reciprocity
Sure of Success.
Opponents Agree Not to Appeal from
Decision Of Chair.
Chinese Exclusion Vote Win Be Taken
at I P. M. Today.

Washington, April 15.-With the
close of the Cuban reciprocity debate
in the House, today, the leaders an
nounced that all danger of the bill be
ing weighted down with undesirable
amendments was over and that they
felt assured the bill would pass in the
shape in which it came from the com
mittee.
AS the bill in its present form is sure
to command three-fourths of the vote
of each side of the House. its passa &c
was certain if it successfully passed
the stage when amendments could be
offered. The only cause of anxiety here
tofore has been the possibility that
enough Republicans would join with
the Democrats to overrule the Chair
and tack on to the bill an amendment
to abolish the differential on refined
sugar.
All the energies of the leaders have
been directed, therefore, to bringing
pressure to bear on the recalcitrant
Republicans to induce them to refrain
from aiding this PLAN and, this even
ing. at the close of the session of the
House. it was announced that the en-
tire Republican delegation from Mich
igan and California, who constitute the
head and front of the opposition, had
agreed not to override the ruling of the
Chair. Watson. Ind, who is acting
as the whip for the majority, does not
believe over a dozen Republicans at
the outside will join the Democrats on
this proposition. 1t would require more
than 20 Republican votes to place on
the bill the amendment which might
endanger its ultimate passage. as sew
eral Democrats, it is understood, also
have declared their intention to stand
by the ruling Of the Chair.
An unsuccessful effort was again
made, today, by Payne to secure an
agreement to limit the general debate

The Progressive Citizens Platform.

In view of the approaching city cleo
ton, The Progressive Citizens OF Weiser
wish to place before the electors of
Weiser. certain broad and fundamental
principles on which they seek to nomi-
nate and to elect the necessary city Off
GERS for the coming year.
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.
Although Weiser is little city, 1t is
vigorous and healthy and is growing.
We believe that a wise government will
not only provide for present needs but
will also plan for future wants and con-
dtions. We believeNhat good govern
ment will enact wholesome laws. repeal
laws that are obsolete or useless and will
enforce all laws fairly and justly. With
out compliance with this principle good
government is impossible
wATERwoRKs AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS
We believe that the health of our peo-
pie and the protection of our property
against fire demand good water sy STEM
Adhering to the principle OF municipal
ownership we would have The city at
once take the necessary steps to issue
bonds and build sufficient and suitable
system of water works and electric lights.
I If for any reason this could not be ac-
compished. then we hold that fran
chise should be granted TO some reliable
person or company who shall give bonds
for faithful performance of contract.
No franchise, however, should be grant
ed that does not specify first class p ant
in all details and provide for the pur-
chase by the city in the future if the city
SO elects. If we cannot have both water
and lights, we consider water the more
important.
IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS
We would undertake a thorough and
systematic improvement Of the streets.
grading, draining, and travelling them
as fast as our resources would allow.
We would connect the gaps in our side
walks adding to the comfort and con-
venience of the people We would plan
a sewer system and extend it as much as
possible to meet the demands of grow
ing town. While making all possible
progress in the improvement of the town,
we would vigorously avoid extravaganza
and would seek to keep taxation as low
as possible consistent with
| GROWTH, PROGRESS AND GOOD GOVERN
MENT.
