WOMAN SHOOTS HER
 DRUNKEN HUSBAND
HIS FRIEND THEN ATTEMPTS TO STRIKE HER AND HE DIED IN FEW MINUTES FROM PISTOL WOUND.

carbonda1e, H., July 1S.-The Jaubert brothers, who ort.ate small coal mine near oraville. were both shot to death at their home early this morning by the wife of one of the men. They had re- turned about Il o'clock intoxicated and the husband demanded his supper. Mrs. Jaubert began it's preparation and her husband began breaking the dishes, and at last attacked her. Mrs. Jaubert and her sister fled to a back room and locked the dor. Her husband followed, broke in the door and renewed his assault, where upon the infuriated wife fired three shots into his body, one passing through his heart, causing almost instant death.
 The brother, who was a witness to the tragedy, took up his brothers quarrel and attempted to strike the woman. whereupon Mrs. Jaubert emptied the two remaining chambers of the revolver into his body, inf1icting a wound from which he died shortly afterwards. The woman gave the alarm and surrendered to the officers. The coroners jury today ex- onerated the wife,

Oil Well at Jennings Continues to Burn With as Much Fury as it Did Two Days Ago-An Attempt Will be Made

much occupied by the magnitude of the work before them to listen to and answer questions But from what can be learned they intend to try q combination of sew eral of the schemes that have been ad- vanced. At present two derricks are be- Ing erected on either side of the fire, and will be connected with a large cable. A huge cone is now being made and will be connected to this cable and slid along until directly over the fire. Then by means of a trip wire they intend letting the cone drop over the fire. permitting 1t to fall from sufficient height to bury Itself in the ground to overcome the gas pres sure of the well.
 By means of pipes that extend from this cone they hope to control the pres sure by permitting 1t to escape from these vents. The boilers will then be connected and stream of water and steam will be turned on to the fire. which will flood the enclosure and the oil and water will run out of the drain ditches that have been prepared. The chemicals that have been out will be turned on to the fire and they expect will finally con- quer 1t. The plan looks plausible and the experts from both Jennings and Beau mont are in favor of it.

R. R. DRAINAGE WAR
 IS MORE SERIOUS
PLACE IN FORCE TARIFF SIMILAR TO THAT ADOPTED ON SOUTH ERN DIVISION OF SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

Louisville. July 1s.-The drayage war which had it's origin in this city between the Louisville and Nashville the Illinois Central and the Southern roads took on more serious aspect today when the St Louis division of the Southern announce ed that, beginning tomorrow, it would place in force tariff similar to that now obtaining on the southern division of the line
 This action brings Louisville, Tender son and St. Louis and the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern into the fight and the officials of the former roads stated to- day that they would tomorrow or Mon day issue a new tariff in conformity with that of the Southern. The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern has not yet reach- ed a decision in the matter but a con ference was held by wire between the Louisville and Cincinnati traffic officials of the road and it is probably that de- cisive action will be taken at once.
 The tariff of the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis road will be patterned largely after the recent order of the Louisville and Nashville. and will cover all business going to or coming from points west of the Mississippi river.
 In addition to the St. Louis announce ment, the Southern railway officials stat ed today that hereafter drayage would be allowed for all local as well as com petitive points, the tariff to apply also to the Queen and Crescent road.

FRENCHMEN'S FIST
 FIGHT NOT FATAL
One Prince Delivers an Uppercut In Order to Provoke a Duel-Woman
 Had Horsewhip and Was Ready.

Paris, July 1s.-The personal encounter yesterday between the Prince de Sagan and Maitre Barboux, the well known law yer, is the leading topic of the day here. Prince de Sagan is Helie de Talleyrand- Perigord, whose brother Bosom married Miss Helen Morton of New York. He de- clares he only struck Maitre Barboux lightly in order to provoke a duel because he is Madame de Casts f1ance. He was summoned before a magistrate today to explain his conduct and probably will be punished for assaulting Maitre Barboux.
 The lawyer says Prince de Sagan punched him severely in the face and he asked the court to take action. Two de- tectives were detailed to protect him from further aggression.
 Madame de Cast, with whom the press end pull lie generally sympathize says she carried a horsewhip hidden in her sunshade yesterday, and intended to whip Maitre Barboux, but that the latter left the court by a side door.

 IN BALTIMORE STRIKE
300 Hodcarriers May Walk Out Through Sympathy for Carpenters,
 Who Refuse to Compromise.

Baltimore, July 1s.-The strike situation in this city is assuming grave aspects. Structural iron workers and hod carriers. both of which are thoroughly organized, stand ready to join the striking carpen- ters whenever the word is passed.
 Should these craftsmen be called out. building operations, which have been hampered since the beginning of the strike two weeks ago, will be completely suspended. The Hod Carriers Union is composed of 800 colored men. Should they walk out bricklayers and plasterers will be forced to cease work.
 The three unions of carpenters have formed district council, and have re- fused to accept the compromise offered by the contractors, but hold out for B day of nine hours, with eight hours on Sat urday.
