CUT HIS SWEETHEART'S THROAT
Ohio Barber Almost Sewers Girls
Head from Body and Then
Kills Himself.

Chillicothe, o., March 31-Forest
McCord, barber, aged "a years, liy-
ing at Bournville, killed Charity
Storts. aged 20 years, by cutting her
throat from ear to ear, after which he
cut his own throat in like manner.
The deed was done at the girls home,
near South Salem.
McCord and number of compan-
ions were drinking heavily Sunday
and he struck one of them with a
beer bottle. A warrant was issued
for his arrest He left his home i'm
lnediately for the Storts home, eight
miles distant, and found the young
girl alone. Her mother was in an up
stairs room. He remained with Miss
Storts for about an hour, when her
screams brought the mother to the
stairway and she saw her daughter
in McCord's arms, covered with blood
and her head almost severed from her
body. She rushed downstairs, but be-
fore she reached the first floor Nc
Cord dropped the girl and drew the
razor across his own throat and fell
to the floor.
McCord and Miss Storts had been
sweethearts for several years. 1t is
supposed that McCord, fearing arrest,
was filed with remorse and went to
the Storts bone and committed the
deed

Organized Labor Closes Sever

Observation-Disclosures HOSIERY
Strikers Are Quiet and Nothing oc-
CURED en- Streets to Warrant criti-
oism-No Work Being Done Except
In Finishing Rooms and Offices.

Lowell, Mass, March 31.--Organ-
tied textile labor showed its strength
in the shutdown of. the seven largest
Gotten mills here and, not content
with this, the textile council, the dele
gate body of the local unions, consid-
cred the advisability of compelling
an even wider application of the shut
down order by bringing about strike
in the Lawrence hosiery. This hos
iery was exempted from the strike
order last week, the knitters union
being permitted to remain neutral, as
it had shown that it had no griev-
ance either in wages or time sched-
ule. The council did not find the
proposition well received and the out.
look is not favorable for a strike of

This incident was the chief one of
the first day of the unprecedented
shutdown of the big cotton mills in
Lowell No trouble of any kind oc-
CURED at the mill gates through which
some operatives passed at differen.
times, and nothing occurred on the
streets or at the meeting places Of
the strikers to bring forth criticism.
Labor unions met, some Ia of them,
and they were addressed by either
their own officers or prominent labor
men of other bodies A meeting was
held in loom fixers hall with the idea
OF urging those who attended to lend
their aid in making the strike operate
against the Lawrence hosiery in
which nearly $500 persons are en-
ployed. The proposition to start a
sympathetic strike, however. was net
we'll received. and when the textile
council at its meeting later took up
the same matter there was a lack of
enthusiasm. The running of the hos
iery, it is said by labor men, may lead
to some friction little later, despite
the permitted neutrality of the knit
ters.
The loom ixers' union has chosen
walking delegates to visit otter New
England cities and inform unions of
the situation in Lowell
The Greeks held a meeting and de-
cided against joining the union or
drawing any money from the union
treasury.
The persons at work in the mills
were chiefly those in the finishing
rooms and the Offices and President
Couroy said that the council did not
object to this. The council claims
that the strike order is intended to
stop manufacturing in all it's stages,
and all reports show that nothing of
this kind was done except at the
hosiery.

City Council held its regular meet
ing on Monday night. The princi-
pal matter TO come before it was pro-
test from the Carpenters and Joiners
Union and request that Chief OF
Police Price be removed from Office by
council.
This communication grew out of a
difficulty into which the Chief and the
Union became involved on Saturday
night. 1t seems that the Union was
meeting in Municipal hall. The two
front rooms proved to be too small for
the meeting and the firemen's room
in rear was entered by part of the
members.
Chief Price came to the rear door
and asked admission. This was re-
fused him at first and he finally sue
ceeded In getting Id, when racket
occurred between the officer aud the
head of the Union, William Simpson.
There was some heated talk between
the two men. The protest against
him was made. About forty sigma
ture were appended to the document.
Council appointed Mayor Steelee, Rec
order Sister and Councilmen Hayes,
McGrew and Fife to investigate and
report on the.matter at the next meet
ing.
Building permits were granted to

The dog ordinance was read the
third time but was postponed on ac-
count or the amount of taxes not hav-
ing been placed in the ordinance. 1t
is expected that the tax to be levied
will be fixed at one and five dollars as
under the old ordinance.

A DIFFERENCE.
Rows at the University are net as
Acute as They Used to be.

There is one marked difference
between the present administration
of the State University and that of
few years ago. Formerly when
any trouble arose, as is bound to
occur in any university, it kept
going on from bad to worse. Small
differences then grew into bitter
quarrels and the whole course ot
events turned awry. No on one can
fail to note this difference now. A
few weeks ago very serious diff
Guilty arose with the Junior Law
class, says the Charleston Mail.
1t was such a trouble as might
easily have disrupted the university,
but tactful and able hands took hold
of it and the incident has passed as
quickly as it came and no one hears
a word of complaint anywhere. The
good work of the university goes
quietly on to the qualification of all
its friends, and there is universal
satisfaction in having at the helm
such diplomat as DR.. Purinton.

In WASHINGTON
Commander R. NJ. G. Brown of
Morgantown is Visiting.

News Paper Man Hunts him up ant
Writes of his Feats-The Comman d
er Cannot Talk About the Navy Be
cause of his Position as Retired
Officer-Yisit Personal and Private
one.
The following is from the Washing
ton Times;
Commander r. NJ, g. Brown, the
hero OF the Samoan disaster, is in
Washington for few days visit. He
is registered at the Shoreham and
spent part Of today calling upon his
friends at the Navy Department.
Tie commander since his retire
ment, five years ago, makes his home
in Morgautown W. Va, where he was
born and lived until he entered the
United States Navy. He is a warm
friend of Rear Admiral Schley and
has campaigned in foreign waters
most of the time he was In the service.
For gallantry in commanding his men
at the time OF the Samoan disaster,
he was entertained by President Har-
rison and personally commended both
by the President and Secretary of the
Navy.
At that time, Comma nder Brown
was in command OF the Trenton which
with the Vandalia and 1erman and
English warships. was caught ia the
storm which wrecked TIVE OF the Ger
man vessels and one English boat.
Although every boat dragged anchor,
they were blown about like tubs and
vessel in the harDor seemed immi-
nent.
In all the storm and turmoil, Com
mander Brown managed TO remain
calm and cheerful and succeeded In
imbuing his crew with something OF
his own spirit. BY cheerful maneu-
vers, the Trenton was saved and the
men aboard the vessel did much to
save the lives OF many men on board
the vessels which were wrecked When
report or the disaster was received
by the Secretary of the Navy and for
warded to President Harrison, cable
gram OF congratulations was sent to
Commander Brown and his men.
Commander Browns physical con
dition becoming impaired by reason OF
the hardships be had undergone, he
was compelled To ask that he be re-
lieved The President Insisted he
should come to Washington at once
and be his personal guest while re-
lating the details OF the disaster. Com
mander Brown did SO, and Congress
at its next session will appropriately
recognize his meritorious service.
When seen by Times reporter at
the Shoreham this morning the com.
mandev declined to discuss the details
of his feat at that time, but said: 81
came TO Washington to visit my rela-
tives and to call upon my friends 10

my visit, aud ] will return Whome as

tunity to familarze myself with re-

CREvASSE CONTINUES TO WIDEN
Water Still Rising and No Relief in
Sight-No Fatalities Re-
ported.

Greenyille, Miss, March 31-The-e
is little change in the flood situation.
The cutting of the protection levee at
the northern border of the town has
given no pereeptible relief in letting
out the water. On the contrary, u
rise is still in progress generally
throughout the city. The electric
light plant is being rapidly pumped
out and it is possible that the COM
! pany will soon be able to resume.
The big creyasse three miles south
of the city continues to widen and H.
is impossible 10 say what the nlti-
mate breadth will be if the efforts to
strengthen the ends and prevent
further cutting are not successful. A
large force Of men is still engaged in
this work.
So far as known not single life
has been lost as result of the break
ing of the levee and the subsequent
flooding of the country There have
been many rumors of persons drown
ed but to date not one of them, have
, been confirmed Rescue boats are out
in every direction and all refugees
brought to the city are being cared for.
Persons who have returned from
the erevasse south of the city report
that second has occurred about 500
feet north of the first break. The new
creyasse is about 400 feet wide. This
new opening will add to the volume
OF water that is flowing inland from
the swollen Mississippi, but it is not
considered chat it will serve to com
plicate the situation further than pos
sibly to make greater the overlooked
area.

TWO CENTS
SMALL POX GONE.
Outbreak of the Malady has
Finally Disappeared.

houses have been Disinfected and
Guarantees Lifted Morgantown Is
free of the Disease--Scheol on Wiles
hill has Resumed-No deaths Attend
Progress of the Outbreak.
Small pox is now thing OF the
past in Morgantown. All OF the pa
tients who have been AFFLICTED with
the malady have recovered The
houses In which the disease manifest
ed itself have been thoroughly disin-
fected. There is no danger OF any
new cases developing.
| These announcements are made by
the Health Officer, DR.. Warren. They
are pleasing announcements to the
people of the country who have been
| kept out of town by foolish fears
about the infection.
During the outbreak about thirty
cases appeared. That none OF the pa
tients died OF the malady is matter
for sincere congratulation. Most OF
them escaped with light attacks
although some OF the patients we're
quite sick and some narrowly escaped
dying.
This was notably true in the case
Of Marcellus Mason who was sick on
the West Side. Thanks to good,
strong constitution he threw off the
attack and is now WE'LL
Many people have refused steadfastly
TO believe that it was small pox.
There is no use trying to argue the
question with any one OF this opinion.
1t would be mere waste OF time.
Every thing which had stopped dur
ing the outbreak has resumed. Very
little interruption TO business or other
affairs of life In Morgantown was ex-
perienccd This was due to the
prompt Efforts to combat the disease
which v cfn put into effect.
Some friction arose from the fact
that there was a disposition on the
part o. some people 10 refuse TO obey
the ordef, of the health officer There
was III Of criticism which was un-
called loo and unwise. A lesson
should be learned from this. II
the health officer is not the man for
the place he should be removed Will a
times are good. As long as he holds
his office bis orders should be oheyed
TO the letter. 1t is no time to discuss
his fitness when the danger is at hand
and an outbreak of disease Is with us.
Another lesson that may be learned
from the recent outbreak is that peo-
pie who break quarantine are little
less than criminals and should be
dealt with to the extent of the law.
To subject innocent people to ravages
of every contagious disease to which
they have been exposed.
Many mistakes have been made no
doubt in connection with the out
break. Those made by the professional
men who were fighting it IL any were
made by them were on the safe side
and this is the side on which TO err
in all such emergencies
The next time that small pox comes
If it ever comes we shall be prepared
for it and there will not be any chanc-
es taken. We escaped some CT the
terrible consequences of foolhardiness
this time, but next time errors may
be visited with heavy consequences.
Let no errors be committed.

WORKING BY NIGHT
In Order not to Disturb the Public
Have no UIterior Designs.

One of the officials connected with
the traction company stated to this
paper this morning that the work
which has been done on the con
struction of the car line at night
has been done in order not to inter
fere with the traffic on the street.
Much other work will be done by
night for the same reason. He
said that three. fourths the work on
similar lines in towns of this size
was done at night for the same
reason. I'VE have no Interior de-
signs and do not want to do any
thing at night which we would not
do in the day time. The people of
town, need have no fears on this
score,o so he stated.
