railroad track at the Parker house, the
roadway gave away and the rear end Of
the wagon went through the break. The

caught on the stringers which prevented

accident occurred at the foot of the

the street for some time, and it was only
at the last melting of the council that
they took action To improve it.

MILWAUKEE EXTENSION

Directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee
g. St. Paul railroad plan extending
the company's lines to the Pacific
coast. Final decision on this impor-
tant enterprise will be reached with
in two months.
This is prospect that has been agi-
tating Wall street for some time, but
there have always been denials from
the directors of any such possibility.
Conditions that have developed re-
Gently, however, have changed the
complexion of things, and it is now
understood that considerable
number of the St. Paul directory are
in favor of an aggressive step to secure
some of the rich traffic that is con-
stantly developing in the northwest
and in the Pacific coast states.
The construction work of an extern
sion such as Is proposed would involve
the building of $500 miles of track.
Surveys and estimates have been
made, and on them is based
the construction figure of $4,000
o mile. This includes equip
ment and terminals. The sum of
this expenditure would be 100000, 900,
but it was said by one in position
to speak authoritatively that probably
800, 100000 would be spent before the
extension was perfected. The work
would probably begin at Evarts, in
western South Dakota. Going west,
oil of the principal tonnage develop
ing centers would be touched and
some new territory would be opened
up.
The St. Paul engineers have found
a route through the mountains OF
considerable lower grade average than
that of the Great Northern or North
ern Pacific. The western terminus
would be at Seattle.
The question of whether the con-
struction would be financed with
bonds or stock has not been decided
1t is certain that the s25,O00,OO0 I'm.
issued stock in the treasury will not
be used, but will be employed in time
to reimburse the company for i'm
provements, already amounting tx
s16,OOO,OOO.

Woman Choaked to Death.

The dead body of Mrs. John A. Kirk.
patrick was found yesterday in the back
ward of an unoccupied house in ALLIE
gheny, Pa, only short distance from
her heme. She had been murdered, and
the morgue physician states that the
woman had been criminally assaulted.
Suspicion rests on man as yet unknown
to the police, but who evidently was an
acquaintance of the woman.
For the past several months Mrs.
kirkpatrick had been living at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Jesse Scott, on jackson
street. with her husband and lS-months-
old baby. On Saturday night she took
her baby to her mothers home, so she
could attend to the marketing Her
husband was to meet her at the mar
ket house at IL o'clock, but when he
failed to keep the appointment she start
ed for her home with her purchases, ia
tending to retnrn for the child.
After leaving the street car near her
home she was seen talking to man
wearing high hat and long overcoat
A few moments later she was evidently
dragged into Creighton alley, where she
was heard to exclaim: "Oh, don't, III
do anything you say" When the body
was discovered yesterday at O'Clock it
was found that the woman had been
choked to death, and traces in the snow
showed that she had been dragged for IL
feet along the alley to the yard gate aud
thrown inside. A man aud a woman
heard the scufllOg audquarreling in the
alley, but being newcomersin the neigh
bsrhood decided not to interfere in any
way.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's assailant is sup
posed to be some man who was at least
an acquaintance of hers, because during
the evening man answering the de-
scription OF the one seen talking to her,
called twice at the Scott house and asked
for Matte (the woman's first name), and
appeared to be an old friend. Late last
night the police arrested Norman Gey-
ser, former admirer of Mrs. Kirk
patrick, and have charged him with the
murder,

Jealous Husband,s Crime.

Maddened BY jealousy and the alleged
infdelity of his wife, James @. Kennedy,
foreman at the plant of the Union Spring
and Manufacturing Company, at New
Kensington, Pa, sent seven bullets into
the body of Howard NJ. Elmer, young
telegraph operator, yesterday. KeR-
nedy gave himself up Immediately after
the shooting and was lodged in Jail.
Mrs. Kennedy was also arrested and is
being held as an accessory. The shoot"
ing was planned with deliberation.
Kennedy and his wife lived in the up
stairs rooms of a house in Fifth avenue,
whose first floor is occupied by the family
of J. NJ. Lynch. Elmer boarded with
the latter. Ebnsr was night agent at
Braeburn for the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and Kennedy knew he would return
from work yesterday morning on the
train which arrives from Braeburn at
1925 o'clock. He kept watch until
Elmer, who was accompanied by Lynch,
came in sight. He then left the house
and, walking mp to the man, pressed
revolver almost against Eoners Oouy
and fred two shots, both taking effect.
The wounded man started TO run. Ken
nedy stood still and fired the three re-
naming bullets at the fleeing man, each
taking effect, but failed TO stop Elmer.
Kennedy then started in pursuit, throw
ing the empty shells from his revolver
as be ran and replacing them with t"'
more cartridges. Elmer had by thi'
time reached the back door of the board
ing house, where he fell, face downward
a few feet from the door. Kennedy
advanced, and cOolly bending over th'
PROSTATE man, sent two mere bulleb
into his head. Leaving his victim lying
where he had fallen, Kennedy strobe Il
the police station and surrendered.
