Judging from remarks dropped by Mr.
Angler. the Union Pacific would gladly
cooperate in the good work Of directing
tourists TO idaho Springs and thus make
the hotel a payer from the start. The

Washington, April 12.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the American Anti
Trust League, through its secretary,
II. 3. Martin, has sent Attorney Cen
eral Knox a letter, in which they con-
graduate the Department of Justice,
of which the letter says the league
heretofore has complained because of
what it considered its dilatoriness in
enforcing the Sherman antitrust act,
ION the conspicuous success it's efforts
have achieved in securing a vital and
far-reaching judicial Interpretation of
the act oe 1890"
The letter then declares 1t essential
that the injunction obtained be follow
ed up, if its benefits are to be realized
by penal prosecutions of the officers
and individuals who form the Northern
Securities Company. The Attorney
General Is also urged to institute pro
ceedings," both civil and criminal,
against the anthracite coal trust.

Terminate i'm Deaths by Shooting
and Poison.

suicide that may result fatally. oc-
CURED in this city tonight.
Joseph Kwaitkowski, 81 years old,
representative Polish citizen, is lock-
ed up at police headquarters charged
with shooting his landlady and killing
his own 9-year-old boy.
Kwaitkowski formerly conducted an
extensive business in one OF the mar
kets of the city. His wife died about
year ago, leaving two children. Since
the death of his wife business difficult
ties drove him to drink. For the last
four months he has lived in rooms at
1870 Colt street.
The owner of the house, Mrs. Tekla
Wolnski, her husband and their chill
dren occupied the rear part of the
building. The children of the two fam
lilies were constantly quarreling. To-
night Kwaitkowski returned home and
found the children in the usual tur-
moil. Mrs. Wolnski informed him that
he would have to move, whereupon
KWaitkoWski drew a revolver and be-
gan firing, backing out of the house
as he did so. Mrs. WolinsH followed
the Infatuated Pole and grappled with
| him. He pointed the revolver at her
breast and fired She fell to the ground
mortally wounded.
Kwaitkowski fired several more shots,
one of them striking his own 9year-
old son, Peter killing him instantly.
A large crowd quickly gathered, and
Kwaitkowski retreated into the house,
locking and barricadng the door be-
hind him. Then began a lively ex-
change of shots through the windows
between the policemen, who had gath
ered and waitkowski, which con-
tinued until the latter exhausted his
ammunition, when the officers battered
down the door and captured him.
George Denning, 55 years old, had
been separated from his wife for some
time. He called upon her to-day and
tried to induce her to resume marital
relations. She refused. He drew a re-
volver and fired. She fell to the floor
in a faint, and believing that he had
killed her. Denning ran away. His body
was found later in the evening in a
Salvation Army lodging house. He had
taken poison.
Miss Mary Beers, 20 years old, an
actress, took morphine to-day. She is
dead.
Bertha Vaughn, 90 years old, swal-
lowed dose of vitriol. Her condition
is serious.

Pittsburg, April 12.-With terrifying
swiftness the thunderstorm which came
out of the west this evening, crashed
over Pittsburg, pouring miniature riv-
ers through streets, flooding cellars and
inflicting damage that will reach thou
sands of dollars.
One man was killed by lightning and
many buildings were struck. Irwin Il.
Wilson of Dubois, Pa, while walking
from one building to another at the
Dixon Insane Asylum, where he was
employed, was struck down by bolt.

A telegram from Imperial says:
Rain began falling in torrents this
evening and continued one hour, ac-
companied by a severe electrical storm.
In a short time the Montour valley,
which point is very narrow, was a
foaming mass of water. The tracks
of the Montour Railroad, which run
parallel with the valley, were carried
away in many places.
The coal traffic from the Imperial
district of the Pittsburg Coal Company
will be at a standstill for several days,
until the railroad can be built over.

COMBINE OF BANKS
ATLANTA NATIONAL AND CAPITAL
CITY NATIONAL
MERGED THEIR INTERESTS.
PRACTICALLY A SALE OF THE
CAPITAL CITY BANK,

A Year Ago "A Deal Between +ha
Two Banks Was on, but Did Not
""terlaize-The Hitch Has Now
beeh RemOved-It Is Said the At
liant" National Will Give 100 for
the stock of the Capital CITY,
Clerk Sims Was "A CAPITAL city
Dcfaulter.
Atlanta, April 12-The announce
ment to-day of the consolidation of
the Capital City National Bank with
the Atlanta National Bank has been a
topic OF unusual interest in the COM
merclal and financial world here.
1t seems that the consolidation sim
ply amounts to the purchase of the as
sets of the Capital City by the Atlanta
National. The price paid has not been
given out, but it is stated by directors
OF the Capital City that the stock hold
ers of that bank will receive st2O for
thelr stock. Others interested think
the result will not net them more than
from sos to $115.
mere is especial interest in the deal
coming as it does so soon after the de-
1alcation of the collection clerk of the
Capital City Bank, G. H. Sims. who
made away with $4,000. II is stated.
however, that there was a proposition
made to buy the assets of the Capital
city Bank a year ago. but that it did
not go through because no provision
was made for the officers of the bank.
NO provision has been made for them
IN this deal at all, though one or two
OF the prominent clerks of the CAPITAL
City Bank will doubtless be provided
Tor because of the increased business
CT the Atlanta National.
The Atlanta National is regarded as
the most solid and substantial bank in
the city. the market value of it's cap
ital stock now being $500. 1t will prob
ably secure large proportion of the
deposits of the bank it has purchased.
The affairs of the Capital City Bank
viii be wound up in the course of the
next few weeks.

freight had orders to take the siding
at Windsor Junction and let the ex-
press pass, but for some unknown rea-
son Driver Copeland of the freight
ran past the junction on the line and

lost control of his train, which was
made up of seventy-five cars.
The freight was running twenty-five
miles an hour and the express, which
was was two hours late, was travelling
about forty-five miles an hour. They
crashed together on a level piece of

were shocked or cut by falling glass,
but were not injured seriously.
