and Quarreled-The Crime Due
to Jealousy.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, March 1S.-John Gen.
kinger was shot and killed to-day in the
apartments of Mrs. Eva Rumberger by
George Merkle. proprietor of a hotel at
Darlington. Pa. Genkinger was taken to
the Shenango Valley Hospital, where he
died before the bullet could be extracted,
while Merkle was arrested with revolver.

Mrs. Rumberger is said to be the cause Of
the shooting. The womans apartments are
in block owned by Genkinger in Apple
alley. Policeman Bell heard the four shots
fired by Merkle and ran into the room.
Only one shot struck Genkinger.
Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Rum
berger was examined by Mayor Jackson
and Coroner Porter. She said Merkle was
in her apartments when Genkinger ap-
peared and asked her for a diamond pin he
had lent her. She and Merkle were dis
cussing their probable marriage, Mrs. Rum
berger says. and Genkinger remarked to
Merkle:
George, IL you don't marry Eva. after
all she has done for you you are a chump."
This seemed to anger Merkle. who start
ed toward Genkinger, drawing his revolver.
Mrs. Rumberger says Genkinger then
grasped an empty beer bottle and hurled ii
at Merkle, striking him in the face. The
breaking bottle cut cash In Merkles face
and he began to fire at Genkinger; who
for a time until loss of blood make Gen.
kinger weak. Mrs. Rumberger says she
tried to separate the fighting men. but that
Merkle seemed to grow crazy and struck
and kicked Genkinger long after the man
was unable to defend himself. AS she raised
the window TO scream for held Policeman
Bell rushed in. Merkle was hurried to
police headquarters and refuses to make
any statement.

Mr.. CLEVELAND CRATIFIED
PLEASED AT RATIFICATION OF THE
PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Hopes There VIII BE No Delay in Be-
ginning the WOrk-The Ex-Presi.
dents Birthday.

PRINCETON, N. j., March 1S-Former
President Grover Cleveland was sixty-six
years of age to-day. He passed the day
quietly with his family at his residence in
Bayard lane. He was the recipient of
many congratulatory kilograms and his
intimate Princeton friends called and ex-
tended their best wishes.
In response to a request for his opinion
the passage of the Panama canal bill
by the Senate, Mr.. Cleveland dictated the
following statement: 1T is very gratify-
ing that the bill has passed the Senate
and 1 hope there will be no further delay
at the beginning of the work, which 1 be-
lieve is going to mark an epoch in the
commerce and transportation OF the age
and will be a glorious contribution by the
American Nation to the trade of the
world"
Mr.. Cleveland said that he had not made
any arrangements yet regarding his pro-
posed trip 10 st. Louis TO attend the dedi-
catory exercisesof the exposition. He will not
be able this year to deliver the two Stafford
Little lectures on public affairs which are
given annually by him before the students
of Princeton about the middle of April.

GLOOM AT HELENA.
Eight-FOot Break I'm the Levee
which Was Hastily Repaired.

HELENA, Ark. March 1s.-The flood sit
uation here is still Of the gloomiest char
acter. The river has risen 6 in the past
twenty-four hours and now stands at 4S.7.
A large force of workmen have been en-
gagged in trying to repair the North Hell
ena levee, but small break occurred there
to-day before noon. The break was eight
feet wide when discovered, but was kept
from growing larger and was soon stopped
with sacks and pilings of lumber, though
the water is still going through into the
alread flooded district in dozens of places.
There is very little hope of holding this
small levee unless the rise by tomorrow
night is sufficient TO send the water over
the top of the levee and I'LL up the entire
valley. North Helena is separated and dis
tinct from the city proper, which Is In no
danger of flood.
The most disturbing feature of the situa-
ton to-day was the receipt of kilograms
this afternoon by the three resident drec-
tors of the St Francis Levee Board from
President o. n. Killough, stating that the
entire ST. Francis levee system was In a
critical condition. but that he hoped to be
able TO hold them without another break If
the wind and water conditions were IA
vorable.

SULTAN in NO HURRY
HAS NOT YET GIVEN THE UNITED
STATES MINISTER AN AUDIENCE.
Mr.. Leishman vainly Waiting an OPP
portunity to Present a Letter on
the American Claims.

LONDON, March 19-The correspondent
Of the Daily Chronicle at Constantinople, in
a dispatch dated March IA, says that United
States Minister Leishmann is still vainly
waiting for an audience with the Sultan to
deliver President Roosevelts autograph let
ter on the American claims regarding the
missionary schools in Armenia and other
matters. In response TO Minister Leish-
mans pressing demand Tewfik Pasha, the
foreign minister, promised that the Sultan
would receive the minister after the cele-
bration of Bairum, but the festival passed
and Mr.. Leishman is becoming exasperated.
1t would not be surprising, adds the corre-
spondent, should the Sultan continue the
delay If American warships were ordered to
Turkish waters.
A dispatch from Washington March
said that Minister Leishman, under instruc-
tions from the State Department. was

government the necessity of paying certain

was current tonight TO the effect that Mrs.
Maria Hull, mother-in-law Of the late Ed
win l.. Burdick, who was murdered on
Feb 81 had been seriously injured or was

facts in the case. but all requests at the
Burdick residence for information were
met by a refusal to discuss the subject. A
young man, who said his name was Allen
and that he was friend of the family,
acted as spokesman. He said: Il refuse
to confirm or deny the story that Mrs. Hull
was injured or that she is in other than
her usual health except 10 say she is weak

which she has been subjected and has not

ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Two Men Arrested on the Charge of
killing a school Teacher.

MARION, ILL.,. March 1S.-Calvin Price
and jeremiah Graves. of Herrin, Ill, who
admit that they were in the vicinity Of the
home of Mrs. Nellie Reicheldeffer on Mon
day night when she was found dead and
mutlated in a hog lot, were arrested to-
day by Sheriff Harris charged with killing
the woman, who was widow and school
teacher. Mrs. Reicheldeffer had contracted
to sell some property to the Illinois Steel
Company, and il is thought that she was
killed for the purchase money. Last Mon
day Mrs. Reicheldeffer's sister went TO
town, leaving the widow alone When the
sister returned she found the house empty.
Going out to the hog yard she found her
body mutilated by the hogs. 1t is thought
by some that the murderers threw the body
into the hog lot in the hope that others
would think Mrs. Reicheldeffer had been
killed by the swine. An inquest will be held
tomorrow.

FALL OF AN ELEVATOR.
Two Women Seriously Injured and
Eight Persons Less Severely.

Eight Persons Less Severely.
LOUISVILLE, March 1S.-The elevator at
the Jefferson county courthouse here fell
five stories this morning, carrying with it
about a dozen iron weights which control
the machinery and causing the injury of
eight persons. two of whom are thought
to be seriously hurt. The seriously injured
are: Mrs. Agnes Wilson, back broken, and
Mrs. Ed Simon, head crushed and internally
injured.
There were fourteen persons in the car
at the time the accident occurred, and the
escape of the rest of the passengers from
serious injury was marvellous The entire
carload of people boarded the elevator at
the top floor, and the heavy load caused
the car to drop suddenly TO the bottom Of
the shaft AS the elevator struck the bot
tom the force of the impact tore the
weights which control the car from their
positions, and these masses of iron. weigh
ing from seventy-five to 125 pounds each,
crashed through the top of the car. Fortu-
nately a number of the passengers had time
TO escape from the car before the iron
struck. and it was this fact which pre-
vented the accident from assuming much
more serious proportions.
