The Diamond special was moving at a

is said the passenger would have been
travelling faster had there not been some
trouble with the locomotive mechanism.
The engineer on the freight engine declared
that the fog was so thick he could not see
one hundred feet ahead
Two Pullman coaches were badly
wrecked, and the freight engine is almost
a total loss, while several freight cars
loaded with baled' hay were ditched. No
passenger was hurt, because there were
few in the rear car, and these were not
seated far enough back to be caught.

THEN FIRED BULLETS INTO HIS OWN
HEAD AND BREAST.
Deed of Harold VI. Cole, Assistant
superintendent at East Helena,

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 16. - Harold NJ.
Cole, assistant superintendent at the East
Helena smelter is dead in an undertakers
establishment, and Olive Mayne Cole, his
wife, is at her home mortally wounded,
as the result of shots fired by the husband.
The tragedy occurred this evening. shortly
after o'clock, al the residence of the
couple There were no witnesses to the
tragedy and the wife is so seriously in
jured that she is not able TO make any
statement. The only story of the affair
is given by Mrs. Mayne the mother of
Mrs. Cole. Mr.. Cole came in from East
Helena about o'clock. Shortly after his
arrival Mrs. Mayne went out and returned
in little while. As she went up the steps
she heard a shot. quiek5y followed by an
other She was accompanied by her hus-
band. and entering the house saw Cole
falling to the floor. while his wife was ly-
ing on the lounge with the blood stream
ing from two wounds, one back OF the
ear and the other in the left breast.
Lying at the foot of the woman were
number of letters. An examination showed
that Cole was mortally wounded, and he
died before a physician could be summoned.
He had shot himself through the head.
Mrs. Cole is a young and handsome
woman. The ordinary theory is that the
husband found some correspondence be-
longing to his wife. that there was quar-
rel and then the tragedy.

age and was one of the prominent young
mining men of the State. In addition TO

MORE TELEPHONES.
Cleveland and Columbus TO Benefit by
Federal Company Deal.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 16-The $l,0O000O
cash bond issue, a part of the s6.JG0,0O0 is
sue incident TO the collateral trust plan for
financing the properties of the Federal
Telephone Company will furnish the ready
money to make the company one Of the
most powerful in present telephone con-
Germs in the country. While money will
be used all over the State. a good share
of It will be used in Cleveland and Colum-
bus. Three thousand additional telephones
will, it is said, be placed in the local plant
of the Federal Telephone Company, and
one thousand will be added TO the Column
bus exchange.
1t can now be said an assured fact
that the uncompleted plant at Detroit will
be sold. Whether the move TO punches
headed by Mayor Maybury, of Detroit, will
succeed or not is just now an open ques-
tion At the same time IL is said that
Mayor Maybury is basing his offer on the
municipal ownership idea. To work up a
municipal ownership scheme will, IL is
feared, take an indefinite period, and the
bankers committee probably will not feel
inclined to await the outcome of what is
felt to be a somewhat doubtful proposition.
On the other hand, other parties are figur-
ing on the purchase of the plant. 1t is
believed the bankers committee will sell
for a figure something like 100000, with,
perhaps, interest on the money added.

QUICK TRIP TO CHERB0URG
WHERE THE GREAT LINER STOPPED
TWENTY MINUTES LAST NIGHT.
Arrival at New York of the Yacht Me-
teor's Captain-Wreath Placed on
Miss GoeIet's Grave.

SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 1.-THE Kron-
prinz Wilhelm arrived here this morning
Prince Henry's voyage to England was un-
eventful. The Kronprinz Wilhelm pro-
ceeded slowly from Bremerhaven down the
Weser under cloudless sky and amidst
cheers from the people lining the shore.
The prince and his suite walked upon the
upper deck with some of the other passen-
gers. Later Prince Henry proceeded to the
bridge, where he held long conversation
with the captain of the steamer and showed
the greatest interest in all the details of
the ship.
The prince, with his suite, appeared at
dinner occupying table in an alcove Of
the general saloon. During the meal the
band played German and American airs.
The princes table naturally attracted the
undivided attention Of the other passen-
gers, but Prince Henry did not seem to
mind this. After dinner the prince spent
an hour in the smoking room.
He was up early this morning, walking
the deck. In the course of a conversa-
ton to-day he 2gain expressed the pleasure
he feels at visiting the United States, and
added: why the last man 1 shook hands
with on German ground was an American,
the Berlin representative of the Associated
Press.
At about half-past 10 o'clock this morn
ing the Isle of Wight and the forts of
Portsmouth were sighted 1t was a day Of
glorious sunshine. With the band playing
and with flags flying the steamer made
her way up Southampton water to the
dock. Here the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, contrary TO the desire
of Prince Henry, had taken the most elab-
crate precautions. The special train from
London carrying passengers of the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm arrived at Southampton at
80. but was not allowed to proceed to
the dock until the steamship bearing Prince
Henry had been made fast. At l o'clock
the dock swarmed with police and detec-
tives, and the steamship tickets of the
Southampton passengers were repeatedly
scrutinized. Prince Henry remained on the
bridge of the steamer until the members of
the German embassy at London, who came
here to welcome him, went on board. He
then received them in his saloon.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed for Cher
bourg at 8 o'clock this afternoon. Among
her passengers are George and Allison Ar
mour, Sir Charles Gust, Spencer Eddy, first
secretary of the American legation at Con-
stantinople. and Miss Catherine Eddy, his
sister. and Mrs. Moreton Frewen, sister of
Mrs. CornwalliS West.

solved for defiance Of the government. All
official accounts describe the riots as "A
revolutionary outbreak.
A Cabient council, hurriedly called Sat
urday night. obtained the sanction OF En-
peror Francis Joseph TO suspend civil law
at Trieste and at many villages in the
vicinity while two battalions OF troops were
drafted into Trieste. What. however. had
a. greater effect in quieting the city was
the announcement Saturday of the arbi-
tratiOn tribunal in favor of the strikers.
Not until an official. standing on the balco-
ny of the town hall. had read the decision
aloId and groups Of strikers had paraded
the streets with white flags TO spread the
decision, was quiet restored. II is said
that on Friday, after the troops had fired
on the rioters. the mob, composed mostly
of Italians, became infuriated and dragged
the bleeding corpses of their comrades be-
fore the soldiers, whom they assailed with
terrible imprecations as murderers and as
sassins.
The proclamation of martial law provides
for summary trial before a special court
empowered to carry out a sentence of death
within twenty-four hours.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-No speech
which has been delivered in the House or
Senate this session of Congress is in such
great demand as the one in which Repre-
sentative Wheeler, of Kentucky attacked
Prince Henry of Prussia. The demand Is
caused by thousands Of letters from the
centers of German population. asking for
copies of the speech. The letters usually
inquire for the Democratic speech in which
Prince Henry was called little Dutch
man. The letters nearly ali show that
the citizens of German descent are not
pleased with the uncomplimentary way
in which Mr.. Wheeler referred to the COM
ing guest.
The Republicans were careful to see that
Mr.. WheeIer's remarks went into the Rec

privilege to have cut out the offensive
portions, under the practice of eliminating
Objectionable sentences from the Record.

Brief Stop at CherbOurg.

CHERBOURG, Feb. 16.-The Kronprinz
Wilhelm arrived in the roadstead at $40
this afternoon, after a pleasant passage
from southampton. The weather was
splendid and there was no wind. The
steamer stayed here but a short time, dur
ing which the band played selections from
various airs. The Kronprinz Wilhelm re-
sumed her journey for New York at 9
oclock.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Kronprinz
Wilhelm, to equal her best record, the
time of which five days fifteen hours
and forty-five minutes, made on Dec. 3
last, should be sighted off Fire island be-
tween 4 and o'clock Saturday morning
Feb. %, and arrive at the Sandy Hook
lightship al 7:45 o'clock. This time how
ever. is approximate, the sailing from
Cherbourg is probably given from her de-
parture in the harbor. Records are calcu-
lated from Cherbourg Mole. Her time of
passing Cherbourg Mole would probably
be half an hour later
