Japanese Treaties.

What trade relations or agreement
did England have with Japan prior
to Perry's commercial treaty Of 1854?
asks writer to the Tribune Farmer.
None. After the expulsion of the
foreigners Japan remained shut out
from the rest of the world till in 1858
she was rudeIy aroused from her
dream, and Commodore Perry arrived
with four ships of war OFF Uraga and
demanded on behalf Of the United
States friendship and intercourse with
Japan. Rightly or wrongly, they be-
lieved that the Americans meant t0
fight them If a treaty were not con.
cluded. After much discussion they
promised an answer later on and
Perry consented to go away and come
again next year. Perry duly returned
as arranged, and finally extorted a
treaty which opened four ports at
which American vessels might be sup
piled with coal and water and have
some trading facilities. During the
next four years fresh treaties were
concluded with the United States. also
with Great Britain and France. fol
lowed later by conventions with other
countries. 10.

"What may those be-" asked.
"Eggs," was the laconic reply. "But

Two Wonderful Hens.

Beyerton, Berks County, farmers
have raised some very curious mems
this season, at least so says Irwin Rep
pert of Monterey, whose pet hen,
fine Plymouth Rock fowl. takes the
prize in laying contests in the county.
The. hen heard her owner tell his wife
that the chicken was doomed for the
boiling pot. Then the hen went to her
nest and deposited two large eggs be.
fore leaving. The next day she tried
to repeat the trick, and laid an egg in.
side of which was another well-rormed
egg. Full of freak tricks, the hen next
day furnished two other well-formeo
eggs. The death sentence has been
committed to liberty for life.

TUNNEL MURDER MYSTERY
Young Woman Victim of Strange
Tragedy in England.
Marks on Mary Moneys Body Indicate
That She Was Thro wn From Train
-Recalls Lefroy's Crime.

London.-Another mysterious railway
murder has come to light and there are
maEy features Of the case that recall
the brutal Staying of Frederick Gold
by Percy Lefroy, the notorious burglar
and bank robber, OIL June 27, 1881.
This time the victim is woman, Mary
Money, twenty-five years old, whose
body was terribly mutilated when it
was found lying near the railroad
tracks.
The bulldogs of Scotland Yard who
are working OH the case call it Le-
troy murder from the character of the
crime, though Percy Lefroy was prop
erly hanged for his brutal killing. A
theory is advanced that it may be the
work of one of the LEROY family, for
every member of this notorious family
has been a criminal for the past three
generations.
Mary Money was murdered in the
Merstham Tunnel Of the London and
Southwestern Railway. Lefroy COM
mitted his crime in the same tunnel.
though under different conditions, If
much in the same manner.
Mary Money was assaulted and slain,
it is clear, in 4 comasrtment in which
she and her murderer were the only
passengers and her body was thrown
out the windows.
A long veil was tightly wedged in
the young woman's mouth, showing
that when the murderer attacked her
he made it impossible for her to cry
out and alarm the guard. Then lie con-
summated his crime while the train
was passing through one Of the pitch
dark reaches of the tunnel.
The young woman left her home on
Sunday evening, saying she would not
be gone long. She was in good health
and spirits.
The LEROY family have kept the
police in the neighborhood of Bradford.
Yorkshire, busy for the past hundred
years. Percy LEROY and his brother
Arthur, known as "Shoddy" Lefroy,
were regarded by the police of Scot
land Yard as the two most dangerous
criminals in Great Britain. Before
Arthur was fifteen years old he COM
mitted burglary and was sentenced
to fifteen years Imprisonment.
When he got out he and his brother
became partners Of Charles Peace, The
cleyerest burglar the world has ever
known. Peace became wealthy man,
owned his carriage and country home
and moved in excellent society. All
this time, assisted by the two Lefroys;
he robbed right and left, and at least
three policemen who interrupted the
trio fell victims to their unerring re-
volverS.
When Peace was finally captured Le-
troy turned States evidence against
him. He told how Peace would gain
the confidence of servant girls, learn
the run of the houses he wished to rob.
and then after succeeding, calmly muir
der the girls. He was convicted and
hanged.
Not long after this "Shoddy' LEROY
was arrested and sent back to prison.
While he was serving his term his
brother murdered Frederick Gold, an
elderly merchant, after ro5Ding him.
He was caught and hanged.

DUEL ON A FLYING TRAIN.
Express Messenger and His Friend
Shot Each Other.

EXpreSE Messenger and Ills trlenu
Shot Each Other.
Chicago. Locked in an express car
attached to rapidly moving WABASH
train two Chicago men fought a reyol-
YER duel, which ended with both prob
ably fatally wounded. Each was shot
three times. The fight was caused by,
Jokes, according to one Of the duelists.
The wounded men are John E. Ryan,
messenger on the train, and Edward
G. Greene, former express messenger.
The accounts OF the fight differ.
Greene said he boarded the express
car intending to go to his home IN
Pittsfield to visit relatives. He was
an old friend Of Ryan, and the latter,
he asserted permitted him to ride.
He insisted that he assist with the
express matter, and the two men be-
gan drinking. Jokes led to quarrel,
and Greene declared both drew revol-
vers at the same time. Ryan said that
the shooting began west of Bement,
and Greene averred the first shot was
fired before the train reached Cerro
Gordo. When the train neared Deca-
tur, Greene opened door and Jumped
from the car. He was unable to run
and was found an hour later Ey the po-
lice
The wounded man We're taken to hos
pital at Decatur. None of the train
men was aware of the battle in pro-
gress on the train until it reached De-
catur. when the car door was seen
open and the trainmen found Ryan un-
conscious on the floor.

A Full Stop.

A returned traveller who spent half
of his holiday in tour of Ireland
brought back 4 sample of the happy
go-lucky wit of the Irish "iarvey," OF
driver. In a breakneck race down a
hill he suddenly realized that the spir'
tied little Irish mare was running
away. -
Pull her up!' he shouted, excitedly.
"Hoid tight, your honor" returned
the jarvey, easily.
"Pull her upw again commanded the
traveller, making grab for. the reins.
.:For your life don't touch the reins,'
the jarvey answered, without tighten
ing his grip. "Sure, they're as rotten
as pears"
The traveller made ready to jump.
but the jarvey laid a soothing hand on
his shoulder.
"Sit easy" he said. reassuringly. III
turn her into the river at the bridge
below here. Sure. that'll stop her"

of the Railroad Killed and Hurt.
Philadelphia, Pa.-FiVe men were
killed and more than twenty injured
in collision at 2.45 o'clock p. M, be-
tween the New York Limited, from the
West, and a local passenger train at
Paoli, on the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, nineteen miles out OF
Philadelphia.
The limited ran through an open
switch and plunged into siding on
which stood the local. The last coach
of the local was a special car belong
ing to w. W. Atterbury, general man
ager of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t
was new and was being tested. In 1t
were some friends of Mr.. Atterbury
and a number of employees OF the
road.
The only damage to the limited was
a broken pilot and some broken WIN
dows. The local train was smashed.
The dead are: T. A. Brastow, HaV-
erford, Pa, brother-in-law of General
Manager Atterbury; G. S. Walton, Al
teona, Pa; steam heat inspector; q. N.
Pennypacker, Philadelphia, foreman of
car inspectors; Charles Dunbour, shop
man; R. r.. Garland, manager at the
West Philadelphia car shops.
n
Among the injured are: Noble Red-
man, thigh fractured; Arthur Red
mond, leg broken; Richard Cook. col
larbone broken; Stephen MacCoila,
conductor of local train, broken arm;
D. N. Perrine, master mechanic,
broken bones and internal injuries.
All those who met death were in the
private car of General Manager After
bury, which was attached to the rear
of the local train. Mr.. Atterbury is
on his vacation in Maine. He IS eX-
Dected to return soon, and his car nad
been overhauled preparatory to send
ing it to Maine to bring him home. 1t
was sent out in the forenoon for test
run, and was attached to late after
noon local train from PaOli for this
city. In the car at the time of the col
lision were about a dozen who had
been engaged in overhauling the car.
Those who were not killed were IN
jurel.
Paoli is the terminus Of the Penn
sylvania Railroads suburban trafhc
on the main line, and a large yard is
located there for the storage of cars
and engines. The local train was
made up in the yard on the north sldH
of the railroad and switched across to
the east-bound track No. 1 Oh the
south side, and came to a stop at the

Traction Syndicate Makes $35,OOO,'
900 Offer TO City,
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP HALTED

Company and Dunno Plans-Railways
to Spend Millions - One Corporation
For Entire City If the New Scheme
Proves Acceptable.
hicago.-Chicago is now at the point
of choice between Mayor Dunne's i'm
mediate" municipal ownership, in the
form of a contract to prominent men
for the operation of lines reyerting to
the city, and the giving of a twenty
year franchise to the traction COM
panies on an elaborate plan devised by
them. The companies, now acting to-
gether, have presented for the first
time a definite statement of what they
are willing to do. The program in
wolves twenty-year extension Of their
control, a proposition against which
the city voted last November.
When the transportation commission
met, Mr.. Bliss. attorney for the Chi
cago City Railway Company, outlined
a franchise ordinance involved in the
new proposal. 1t covers all the present
big traction companies, providing for
virtual joint ownership under the man
agement.
The Chicago City Railway Company
is ready to spend $15,000,000 on i'm
provements, while the Union Traction
Company offers to expend $30,O0O,OO
which includes lowering the tunnels.
The compensation clauses will give the
city between $30,OOO,000 and S35,OO0,-
900.
AS to the time at which the city may
acquire the lines Of the various COM
panies, the ordinance to be presented
provides that all so-called "ninety-nine-
year and other franchise rights shall
terminate at the end of twenty years.
At that time the city shall have the
right to take over the lines by the pay
ment to owners for the physical prop
erty at it's cash value at that time this
value to be determined by arbitration
Or appraisal. In event the city desires
to take and operate the systems at an
earlier date the ordinance provides
that the city shall have the right to
purchase the lines at specified times by
paying the cash value of the physical
property at the time of purchase and
also the price fixed by arbitration as
the value of the unexpired part Of the
franchises.
Officials OF the traction companies
say the ordinance means unlhcatlon
in operation of the City Railway and
Union Traction systems, if not COM
plete merger of the two big corpora
tions. This is made necessary by the
provision for the universal transfer
and the joint use of tracks.
There was q diSinclination on the
part Of Aldermen and Mayor Dunno
to discuss the proposed ordinance. All
wanted to withhold their comment un-
til they have had an opportunity to
study it in detail.
