Strikers Place New York Street Com
nissioners In Quandary.
New York, May 12.-With 400 miles
of streets in this city calling for new
asphalting and 120 new contracts let.
Commissioner of Highways Livingston
finds himself entirely helpless because
of the great labor war now on.
TO complicate the situation. Mr.. Lily.
ingston says a company has obtained
contracts to connect every substation
Of the city with the general postoffice
by pneumatic tubes. This company
also has obtained from the state leg
islature the right to run these tubes
without obtaining a franchise to use
the streets and is said to be on the
point Of starting work, and as it will
have to remove the asphalt on As
miles of streets in order to lay the 80
miles of tubes, this will mean more lit
ter and obstruction until the war is
over.
a serious problem confronting the
administration is the disposition of
S6,5O0000 allotted by the board OF
estimate and apportionment recently
for entirely new asphaIting. AS it
stands now, Mr.. Livingston says there
is strong likelihood that the repairs
for the city will take all ,1e time of
the asphalt companies until next Jan
uary and this will leave the $4,000 600
to be spent by the next administration.

er of Mis- Lila May Suttles, was
placed on trial yesterday morning be-
fore Judge L. S. Roam, in the criminal
superior court, to determine the ques-
ton of his sanity. The jury was
secured and the hearing of evidence in
behalf Of the prisoner was in progress
at the time of adjournment shortly
before o'clock
Several expert medical witnesses
were placed on the stand and testi-
fed that from personal examinations
of the prisoner and from his past his
tory they consider him an epiIeptic and
an imbecile of the second degree and
pronounced him insane.
John Lee, father Of the prisoner, was
the first witness introduced, and he
was followed by the mother,
after which the medical testimony
was presented. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee testi-
fed that Millard had acted queerly
all of his life and said they believe him
to be Of unsound mind. Both the
father and mother related various pc.
culiarities that had marked the career
of their son.
Practically the same evidence as was
presented in the two former trials will
be introduced during the present hear
ing. In the neighborhood of 40 wit
nesses have been summoned by both
sides, and 1t is expected that the trial
will continue until Wednesday after
moon or Thursday.

art, who was attempting the life of her
husband. The particulars are as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Lane was in the barn when he
was attacked by Stewart, who was
working on the plantation. being
larger and stronger, Stewart forced
Mr., Lane into the barnyard, where
he felIed him and was attempting
Mr.. Lanes life when Mrs. Lane came
upon the scene with a pistol and or
dered the negro to desist and was
answered by Stewart that he would
kill both
Upon being told by her husband to
shoot, Mrs. Lane shot the negro, the
ball entering his stomach and infiict-
ing a severe wound. Stewart then
grabbed the pistol from Mrs. Lane
and fired at her, striking her on the
cheek and hand, the latter she having
placed to her face to protect herself,
and a very painful wound resulted.
Luckily, the pistol had only one re-
naming load in it's chambers, and
Stewart kept swapping it to no further
avail
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane Immediately came
to Monticello, where Mrs. Lanes
wounds were dressed by Dr. ]. G.
Cole. When last heard from Stew
art was still alive, but has a death
wound to which it is expected he will
succumb.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane are prominent
people in the county, Mr.. Lane being
the son of ex-Tax Collector J. l.. Lane,
now deceased. The affair is greatly
deplored by them, but was inevitable.

OSTRICH LOGIC.

VWhen I can't see danger there is no

which hides its head and exposes its
body to the hunter. There are not

the ostrich to learn logic. The most
dangerous enemies of humanity are the
enemies which can't be seen, the disease

blood. 1t is harder to get the microbe
out of the blood than to keep it out, but

NEW Works. POPULATION.
Increasing at Remarkable Rate-Pres-
ent Estimate 3.732,93O.

ent Estimate 3,732,930.
New York, May 12-Statistics COM
piled by the board of health show that
the population of New York is increas-
ing at remarkably rapid rate.
The births reported in Manhattan
borough alone during the first four
months of the present year were 1000
in excess Of those reported in the same
period last year.
1t is pointed out that the cosmo-
politan population and the large pro-
portion of foreigners in the city may
account for the high birth rate.
Taking all things into consideration
the board of health has estimated
that the population of the city has
grown from 3,437 POP at the time of
the last federal census in 1900 to
S,732,930 at present.
