the bill was not taken.

skating yesterday afternoon on Back
creek, which makes into the Chesapeake
aud Delaware canal at Chesapeake CITY,
the ice gave way, and four of them fell

two children-Edward litter and Katie,

standing near tho large drawbridge over
Back creek witnessed the accident, but

started towards where the children were
in the water, but by the time they
reached the spot the two girls had dis
appeared under the heavy ice. The
bodies of both girls have been recovered.

information that the Russian generals IN

VERDICT FOR R0USS BOY RE-
VERSED.

Lawyers in the New York County
Courthouse were greatly interested yes
terday 10 DECISION handed down by the
Court of Appeals reversing the verdict Of
jury in the trial term of the Supreme
Court awarding to G. B. Rosseau, IL
years old, $l05, 766 against the estate oil
the late Chas. Broadway Rouss. The boy
sued by his guardian ad Item, Arthur
Fischer, to recover 100000 from the
estate of Charles Broadway Rouss, as
serting that Mr.. Rouss was his father,
and had promised to pay that amount
to him for his support and maintenance
when he attained the age OF 10 years.
Mr.. Rouss died before the boy became
10 years old. The case:was tried Def re-
Justice Blanchard and jury about a
year ago.
Eva Sue Figgett Rosseau, the. mother
of the boy, testified that Mr.. Rouss was
the father of the youthful plaintiff. She
testified that Mr.. Rouss promised that
he would give 100000 to her Son, and
that he would make the boy partner
in his business. The trial disclosed the
fact that after Mr. Rouss's death the ex-
ecutors of his estate paid to her 1913, 900
in cash on her signing release of her
claim to dover, and of any other al
legged claim against the estate. The ex-
ecutors contended that this release,
signed By Mrs. Rossesu included any al
legged claim of her son. This she de-
MED.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in this department affirmed the
large verdict returned by the jury, but
the affirmance was not unanimous. The
decision of the Court of Appeals was
not unanimous. The majority opinion
was written by Judge Vann and con-
Cured in by Judge Cullen (who wrote a
separate memorandum, O'Brien and
Haight. Judge Gray. Bartlett and
Martin dissented on the opinion of
Justice Patterson in the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court. The Court
of Appeals has ordered new trial OF
the suit. Judges Vann said that Mrs.
Rosseau was an incompetent witness for
her son against his fathers estate, and
that the objections and executions taken
10 the admission OF her testimony reuqire
a reversal Of the Judgment.

A CORRESPONDENT ofthe Philadelphia
Record in Pittsburg, where an extraor-
binary labor vote was cast for Presldeht
Roosevelt, says that the steel work"'
were persuaded by the agents oil tie
s,eel trust that the success OF the re-
onbIican party would steady the market
enhance the prices of steel products aud
r,ise the rates of wages. In other worcs'
the steel workers were to largely share IN
the extortions Of the trust upon Amer
can consumers. The superintendent ID
the mills told the srory to the ioremen'
and the foremen impaired 1t TO Inc
workers who very readily believed IL.
But instead of Increasing, wages undo
The steel trust and its branch concerns
have been reduced, despite the ante
elsction promises. In commenting upon
the above the Philadelphia Record says
The explanation is simple enough IN the
ordination that the tallesttrees cannon
crow into the skies. What with the ~,
,erest and dividends that must be PAID
ON enormously watered bonds and stocks
the steel trust is obliged to reduce int
wages of labor or suspend payments
When the prices Of products are raisec
hevond the purchasing capacity OF con
sumers the market becomes depressed
and there is further reduction OF wages
our careful Pittsburg correspondent
states that the reductions have been iron
80 to 80 per cent aud in oneinstance--
that of steel hoop makers az much a.

Of the labor unions on the promises o
the trusts that the tariff will increase
their rate of wages in spite of economic
laws. They will perhaps know better
next time.

AFather,s Terrible Deed.

Chicago, Jan. l1.-With despera-
ton OF 6endishness. John Miller, res
taurant waiter, 20 years old, at one
O'Clock this morning shot and slashed
his wife and two little children, and then
fired bullet into his own breast, at the
same time cutting bis throat. The wife,
Anna Miller, aud the two children,
Martha and Mary, two and one half, and
one year old, respectively, are dead
Miller is dying at the Alexian hospital.
For months, Miller, it is said, has been
dissipating and not assisting in the sup
port of his family. The wife was EN-
ployed as a waitress and provided for
the househ I'D. The police say the
couple frequently quarreled over the re-
fusal of the woman to advance to Miller
major portion of her earnings. The
climax to the do mestic differences came
this morning, when Miller returned home
crazed With drink. Upon refusal of his
wife to give him money, the man drew
a pistol and rushing into the room where
the two wee tots we're sleeping peace
fully, Miller deliberately shot them 10
death. Not content with this, and Lefore
the paralyzed wife could make move,
the thoroughly enmged man grasped a
razor and began TO cut and slash the little
ones in frightful manner their blood
squirting about the room, covering the
bed aud walls with great spIotches OF
the life fluid. Mrs. Miller. finally
aroused, made an effort to escape, but
Miller turned upon her, and shot her
down Then he proceeded to rip and
tear her countenance with the CORY raz-
or. Apparently satisfied in his lust for
blood, Miller fred a shot into his breast,
and followed it with slash across his
throat, falling beside his wife while. his
own blood weltered out upon the floor
beside that of his wife and children.
The house resembled veritable sham.
bles and the hardened police we're for a
moment dismayed at the sight when
they entered the place after being called
by the neighbors.

THE PEOPLE OF Pennsylvania are de-
cidedly at odds concerning the race
question. In Harrisburg on Monday
Governor Pennybacker, addressing the
Pennsylvania electoral commission,
called attention to the fact that j. Will
fred Holmes, of Pittsburg, colored
man. was a member of the college, and
said:
| am glad 10 see among you here,
when you are called upon to give your
voice for the election of a President and
a Vice President of the United States OF
America, representative of the negro
race. If it be true that this is the only
instance in which it occurs among all the
commonwealth of this country, then re-
ioice that this broad spirit of liberality is
shown in Pennsylvania. As was said at
the foundation of the colony by William
Penn at is set forth as an example
TO the nations.
On the same day at Pittsburg an. at
tempt to draw the color line in the six
teenth annual convention of the United
Mine Workers of the Pittsburg district,
caused great trouble. A colored dele
gate was bitterly fought and the matter
was referred to committee to report
what action should be taken in his case.
So it would seem that the race question
will not "down" even in Pennsylvania.
