SUICIDE Is IDENTIFIED.
Woman Who Fell From a Window in
New York City Was Cecilia Moss.

Lancaster Pa, Dec. 2S.-The young
woman, calling herself Cecil Hall, who
was killed by plunging from the third
story window of a lodging house in
West Forty-sixth street, New York,
has been identified as Cecilia Moss. %
years old, of this place. Her mother,
Mrs. Thomas Moss, residing at 319 West
Marion street, received the following
telegram:
Sorry to tell you your daughter has
committed suicide. What shall I do
with body?"
The telegram was signed Mrs. M.
Webb, POP West Forty-sixth street, New
York. Mrs. Moss telegraphed back
that the body should be sent to this
city.
Her mother is unable to give much
information as to her recent career.
About a year ago the girl went to
Washington. Later she wrote to her
mother that September 6 she had mar
ried Clifton Frazer of that city. who
she said was a clerk in the government
employ. Some weeks ago she wrote
Christmas here with Mrs. Moss, but a
letter received a few days since said
that she would go to New York. The
girl also stated that she and her fus-
band had adopted the name of Mrs.
and Mr.. l. J. Hall. She directed that
letters should be addressed to her I'M
der the name of Hall, in care of Mrs.
Webb, at the Forty-sixth street adj
dress.
A photograph of Frazer, which she
sent to her mother, shows him to be a
rather handsome man about 80 years
old smooth faced.

Ask Your Druggist for Free Peruna Almanac for 1905

grievance committee of the Railway
Trainmen in session in San Bernar-
dino last week. The matter has been
under discussion for some time, the
new schedule being especially desired
by the trainmen, and its details were
practically all agreed upon at last
weeks meeting.
This schedule is to be submitted to
Mr.. Wells at this weeks meeting, and
the trainmen hope for it's acceptance
by the railroad people. The new
schedule as proposed by the trainmen
is said to differ very essentially from
the old one in some respects, though it
is denied that any notable increase in
wages is expected under it's workings.
The outcome of this conferences is
awaited anxiously by the men in the
train service, though no serious
trouble is anticipated. It is believed
the questions submitted will be adj
justed amicably.

painfully wounded, but the eye was
not badly injured. Newlin Wilson and
one other were struck by the shot but
not badly wounded.
Albert Hackel was brought to
Hutchinson. His eye was dressed, and
he was then taken to the hospital. 1t
is likely that his left eye will have to
be removed. The wound is very pain
full.
ing did not seem to realize the dam
age he had done, as he calmly reload
ed his gun and took another shot at
the target. Raymond is not consid-
cred to have in any way purposed the
deed, but it was entirely accidental. 1t
was also very careless. His COM
panions say he is a reckless yoUG g
man, and handled his gun in a risVy
way. He has probably learned a les
son in this occurrence, but that hardly
repays the injured men for the holes
shot in them.

Catcher Tells Why He Was Traded to
ST. LOuiS.

New York, Dec. 2S.-President John
T. Brush, of the Giants, says his team
is stronger now than it was last sea-
son. While he would not say he was
sure another pennant would fly at the
Polo grounds, it was plain to see he
thought so. The Giants are to go to
Savannah next spring to train, and
will play exhibition games in the big
cities and towns. The players will
leave New York about March 5.
Jack Warner, catcher of the New
York Giants, says the reason he was
released to st. Louis was because Man
ager McGraw did not want to make
good on $500 promised him.

o'NEIL MAY LEAD LEAGUE.
Tip Is the Most Promising Candidate
for Presidency of Western.


Chicago, Dec. 2s.-Tip O'Neil is the
presidency of the Western league, and
1t developed yesterday that there has
been a good deal of quiet work going
on in his behalf. At all events. he is
the candidate of the Cantillon inter-
ests of the Des MoineS club, and, with
the fractional lines drawn as they are,
Des Moines appears to hold the whip
hand.
Sandy Griswold, an Omaha newspa-
per man, who has the support of Own
er Bourke of the Omaha club, has
been frequently mentioned as a sue
understood that he is not acceptable
to George Tebeau. Otto F'loto, an
other newspaper man, Of Denver has
been mentioned as a possible presi-
dent of both the American association
and the Western league, but this is
merely a guess and is hardly within
the limits of probability.
The fact that Denver and Colorado
Springs are in one faction, Omaha
and Sioux City in another, with St.
Joseph uncertain, but probably with
Omaha, and Des Mofnes Independent
of all factions, it looks favorable for
the candidate of the Cantillons.
Tip O'Neil is considered by local
men who know him as a desirable man
for the position, his long years in the
game as player and manager, his abil-
ity as an organizer, and his personal
popularity giving peculiar fitness for
the duties of such a position. O'Neil
was a famous catcher in the big
leagues, began his career as a man
ager on the Pacific coast when he
handled the San Francisco club in
1894, and later gave the Oakland club
two pennants. In 1902 he was an
umpire in the American association.
He is now living in Oakland, Cal.

Be Back of Big Railway Deal.

Negotia tons for the purchase of the
Kansas City Southern railway, to be used
apolis to the gulf through Des MONIES
St. Joseph and Kansas City are said to
be in progress. 1t is understood that Geo
Gould and the Wabash are back of the
new enterprise and that TIE entire line
from Minneapolis to Port Arthur on the
gulf will be in operation within a year
from next spring.
The details of the plan will not be d.
vulged until after a meeting of capitalists
to be held soon in New York, but it is in
timated that the Des Moines Iowa Falls
and Northern will be made part of the
new system. This line is to be built into
Minneapolis. Between Des Moines and ST.
Joseph the right of way of the st. Jo-
seph, Albany and Des Moines will be used
and from St. Joseph to Kansas City con-
troll is to be secured of an electric line
now building.
1t is said if the negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Kansas City Southern are
not successful a new road from Kansas
City to the gulf is to be constructed.

SUES THE BELT LINE.
Kansas City Southern Doesn't Want
Its Tracks Crossed

A suit has been commenced lin the
United States court for an injunction
to prevent the appraisers of the Kan
sas City Belt Line railway from con-
demning part of the right of way of
the Kansas City Southern railway. The
hearing was set for January 5.
In the petition for the injunction
the Kansas City Southern asks that
the Kansas City Belt Line be prohibit
ed from building across its tracks at
Fifth street. in Kansas City, Kan. The
Belt Line wants to build tracks to the
new American Dressed Beef & Pro-
vision company's plant south of the
Swarzschild & Sulzberger packing
house. and recently secured permits
sion from the council in Kansas City,
Kan, to lay its tracks across Fifth
street, where the Kansas City Southern
crosses it. The district court of that
city appointed the appraisers to con-
denim the right of way. and the Kansas
CITY southern secured a temporary re-
stratning order, enjoining the Belt Line
company from crossing its tracks. This
order was sent to the marshal at To-
peka for service upon the appraisers in
Kansas City, Kan.

Fired Shotgun Into a Crowd, Wound
ing Four.
The Hutchinson Bee tells the fol-
lowing story of shooters carelessness
at Haven:
Friday afternoon at Haven four
men were accidentally shot by Gar
field Raymond while at a target shoot.
A large crowd of men and boys were
out near the elevator at the south end
of town shooting for geese by target
competition. Raymond was one of the
contestants. He had an overcoat
around his shoulders. Raymond had
cooked his gun, which was breech-
loading shotgun, and before aiming
had started to adjust his coat. The
trigger was caught and the gun dis
charged without warning. The shot
went wild and struck in a bunch of
spectators, 35 yards away. Four men
were hit by the shot and one of them
sustained serious injury. Albert
Hackel was shot in the right eye, the
ball being pierced by one shot and nu-
merous shot striking him in the face
and left hand. Charles Chain was
struck just under the left eye and

CITRUS FRUIT CASES APPEALED
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Take
Difficulty to Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 2S-Voluminous rec
ords in the case of the interstate COM
merce commission against the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and San
ia Fe company, the Santa F'e Pacific rail-
way and the Southern California were
filed in the supreme court of the United
States today. The litigation is known an
the Citrus fruit case, which was decided
adversely to the railroads by Judge Well
born of the Ninth circuit last September.
The companies then appealed to the SUI
preme court. Shippers of fruit from
southern California complained to the in
terState commerce commission that the
railroads insisted they had the right to
route fruit shipments over eastern roads
of their own selection. The commission
decided that the shippers had the right to
select the routes over which their ship
SO were ordered to display to the public
their rates for transportation of fruits.
The circuit court sustained these orders.
