SIGNS OF FIERCE STRUGGLE

! WILLIAMSPORT. Pa. Dec. 22.-wed-
nesday night at midnight man was
seen to unite horse and drive away
| from the home Of Mrs. Sarah Whitmire.
| a widow aged fifty-three, who lived
alone in an isolated spot near Muncey
Valley
Shortly afterward a neghbor. Charles
Flick, stopping for protection from a
violent storm. discovered her dead body
on the floor of the kitchen. her head bait
tered in with stick of stove wood.
Fearful Struggle.
Flick hurried for help. An investigation
revealed evidences OF the fearful strug>
gle the woman must have put up for her
life. Furniture was overturned, and thera
were four pools OF blood in different
parts of the room.
Near her head lay a stick Of stove
| wood. secured from pile just outside
the door. while a little further of was
blood and hair, while the body lay in d
pool of blood.
Signs of life were still apparent. but
before a physician could be summoned
Had Gun at Hand.
A daughter of the deceased says that
she must have been taken by surprise.
! for she always kept n shotgun on hand,
and could use 1t. The fact that unfinish-
ed sewing and her spectacles were found
on the sewing machine. tends to show
this also.
The house had been ransacked from
top TO bottom, but people do not accept
the theory OF robbery. Officers say that
there was nothing about the place to
tempt robbers. The motive is q matter of
mystery.
Where the horse was tied In front OF
the house tracks Indicate that II was
driven from the south and, when united,
driven back in the same direction The
heavy imprints OF a lumberman's boots
made the only other marks the storm
making them conspicuous
Man There Some Time.
The stranger was seen to drive away
by Rev B. Bidlack, a Methodist
preacher who had been conducting "a
late meeting. The horse had been tied in
front of the house long enough to paw
up the ground TO a considerable extent
On the wornan's head were found
marks which indicate the use of some
smaller instrument or weapon than a
stick of stove wood, tending to show
that murder was the intention when the
intruder entered the house
The Washington times., 1905-12-22

TO the little treasury. Others think they
VIII do so tomorrow. and tomorrow new
er comes They get used to seeing the
uniformed man or woman and forget
all about the good intentions of the day
before

IS PUBLIC SERVICE
BACKING TELEPHONY? +?

Rumor of an unconfirmed nature
has it that the Public Service Corpo-
ration is or intends to give the Hud-
son & MiddleseX Telephone & Tele-
graph company its backing, finan-
cially and otherwise, in beginning
soon to redouble the facilities and
operations of the company which re-
ceived a franchise at the last meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen and
which has accepted the franchise.
The Hudson & MiddleseX has bought
the property at the southwest cor
ner of Fayette and High strets and
is expected to erect a building there
on, and it has also made technical
beginning of laying conduits. In these
operations and others which are un-
derstood to be in contemplation the
Public Service is declared to taking
more than a friendly interest.

TENDER HIT
THE TUNNEL.
TOttenviIle Man Seriously Hurt
in Wreck on Staten Is
land Yesterday.
Special to the Evening News.


TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 1:-While
engine No. }, of the Tottenville divi-
sion of the Rapid Transit Railroad,
whic b pulls the fast freight from this
place to all parts of the island, was
pa ssing out of the tunnel at West
Brighton, yesterday, the tender of the
engine, which was swinging back and
forth, struck the end of the tunnel
and was thrown over on its side.
Charles White of this pl ace, the fire.
man, jumped when the lender rolled
over and was so badly hurt that it was
necessaryto call an ambulance and
take him to the S. r. Smith Infrma-
ry, at New Brighton where he is in a
serious condition. The wreck blocked
the westbound track for over three
hours.
White was sitting in the cab when
the accident happened. 1t is thought
that he became excited, for If he had
not jumped he would not have been
hurt. Besides being injured internal
ly, he received a deep cut across his
face, and his body was scratched in
many places. The engineer was Ralph
Saunders, also of this place. He was
not'harmed.

Commission Met Last Night and
Completed Their Task Re-
port to Aldermen.
DEMOCRATS THREATEN
Declare that II the Changes Are
Too Sweeping They Will
Get Out Injunction.

The commissioners appointed by
Mayor Brace to change the bound
aries of the six wards of the city met
last night at the offices of DR.. Frank
Crowther and fixed the new ward
lines according to the recommended
tions. They were marked out on a
map of the city and the report will
be submitted to the Board of Alder
men at their next meeting.
The changes, which are to more
equalize the representation OF the
city, are understood to be
not very swc~9ing.
The commissioners are DR.. Frank
Crowther, Ira B. Tice and John
Fothergill.
Some democrats are saying that
if the changes are too sweeping, an
injunction may be applied for to
hold up the alterations, on the
ground that sufficient reason was not
given by the republican members of
the council for the change.

METAL WKRS.,
MAY ST RIKE.

II is expected that work on all
big and small buildings in this city
and surrounding towns. where sheet
metal is being used for the ceilings
or side walls, will be tied up for some
time after today because of strike
which was called at noon today
among the members of the
Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers
Union, for an increase of wages.
All of the sheet metal workers in
this city came from New York, where
they all belong to the same union,
which has about $500 members. At
special meeting late last night in
Everett hall, East Fourth street, near
Third avenue, it was decided on a
general strike, to go into effect to-
day, for-an increase in wages froN
81 to $3.50 a day. The strike will
affect $500 workmen employed in
forty-seven shops, and will tie up
work on many buildings in course
of erection all over.
The Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers Union was working under
the arbitration agreement of the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
tion, but according to the officers of
the union the employers did not keep
faith with it's members. The follow
ing statement was made after the
meeting by j. knight, president of
the union.
THE employers promised us an
advance from 81 to $3.50 day in
the present year, but failed to keep
the promise. Their estimates were
based on the $3.50 rate so that they
were ip-o position to pay it. We wait
ed uns. now, and then sent a dele
gatio~ to the executive committee of
the employers reminding them of
their promise. We got no satisfac-
tion and tonight the strike was de-
clared. 1t will not affect a number
of Independent employers who have
agreed to our demand, but will af-
feet all the associated employers.
The contractors of this city, who
have building in which the sheet
metal is being used have been ex-
pecting the strike, so they have rush
ed things along as rapidly as possible
but the work in many buildings is
far from completion as yet
