Attacked by would.be Suicide.

Quincy. Mass, April 2s.--Andrew
Mischief met with very exciting ex-
perience late yesterday, while endeayor-
ing to prevent man from committing
suicide and, after having succeeded 10
his efforts, he was assaulted by the
would-be suicide, and received hard
usage. Mr.. Mischief was passing
through COTE street, and saw a man in a
tree on Waslay road. Suddenly the
man jumped from the tree and then
Mischief noticed that he was suspended
by rope, with his feet dangling several
inches from the ground. He rushed to
the place and cut tho man down. The
stranger was apparently greatly angered
at not being able to accomplish his de-
sire, and he turned upon Mischler,
knocked him down and jumped upon
him and ran off in the direction of
Adams with the rope still dangling
about his neck. The would-be suicide
is described as teing about 35 years old.

New York, April 29.-The entire de-
tective force are at work today trying to
solve the mystery surrounding the death
of Mrs. Margaret Whalen, aged rs, who
was found dead in bed at her residence,

The woman had been dead for several
days, and from the position of the body
the police believe that she is the victim
of murderer. The woman's head was
wrapped in bandages and her face and
waist were covered with blood. At the
side Of the bed, an axe was found.

Nan Patterson.

New York, April 29.-Nan Patterson
spent rather poor night, and this morn
ing scarcely touched her breakfast. Her
sister, Mrs. Julia Smith, is in the same
plight. The two young women this
morning denied themselves to all callers,
except their father and their counsel.
Nan apparently realizes that her sister.
Julia, did all that she could for her in the
predicament in which she found herself
at the close sof the case, yesterday.
Neither of the women had any idea that
Mr.. Rand was going to confront them
with any jewelry that was placed with
Hyman Stern by j. Morgan Smith. Mr..
Levy also was ignorant Of these pledges
otherwise he would not have attempted
to cross examine Mrs. Smith, thereby
opening the doors for Mr.. Rand to dag
in the jewelry. The District Attorneys
Office is confident that Nan will be
convicted of homicide in one of the de.
grees. They will be perfectly satisfied if
the jury finds her guilty of manslaughter
in hesecond degree. That would mean
some sort OF punishment for Nan, and
what is more important, to Mrs. Young,
and other members Of the Young's fsmi-
ly, the stigma of suicide would be re-
moved.
Mr.. Levy and others of the accused
chorus girls counsel, on the other hand,
are just as confident OF an acquittal.
Mr.. Levy declared today that the one
reason for not calling any witnesses for
the defense is because the State has fail
ed to make out its case.

EleanOra shaft, near Big Run. The
shaft is located one-and-a-half miles
from Big Run, on the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg Railway, IL miles south
of Dubois, Pa. 1t is in an isolated part
OF the county, and the explosion, which
occurred Thursday night, was not known
in Dubois until yesterday. The mine
is owned and operated by the Rochester
and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company,
and is comparatively new shaft, hav-
ing been opened two years ago.
The mine was thought to be free from
dangerous gases. The night shift was
small, or there would have been more
fatalities. Every man who was in the
mine al the time of the explosion except
one is reported killed. Three bodies
have thus far been recovered. Two of
them were English-speaking and resided
at Eleanora, small mining village two
miles from the shaft.

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 90, 1905.

THE DEATH OF General Fitzhugh Lee,
which occurred in Washington last night,
following closely the stroke OF sPoplexy
he sustained at an early hour yesterday
morning, has caused expressions OF gen.
eral regret throughout the country, es-
pecially in Virginia, his native State.
and ia Alexandria, which was virtually
his city. Born in Fairfax county seventy
years ago, he soon became as well-known
in Alexandria as on his native heath.
Iuheriting military spirit and genius,
after receiving his West Point training
he followed the trend Of his mind
throughout most of his life, at first fight
ing Indians, later in the defense OF his
State and in the evening of his life in
the operations in Cuba during the recent
conflict between the United States and
Spain Apart from his martial instincts
he possessed with the powers of the
soldier craftsmanship, which mani
tested in official petitions and on the
forum. AS Governor of bis native State
he fulfilled his stewardship with honor
to the Commonw ealth and credit to him
self, while as representative OF the
United States in Cuba at a critical
period in the country's history, he
showed untiring zeal in the inter
est of his government and his people
As the sands of his life were nearly run
General Lee, still looking after the IN
teresls of the Old Dominion, was work
ing assidnously in behalf of the coming
jamestown exposition, and when death
overlook him he was found endeavOring
TO further the interests of Virginia.
While the projectors have lost mighty
worker in that movement, it is hoped
the affair will be pushed with increased
vigor i'm remembrance of him whose
heart was set upon the exposition. The
offspring OF an illustrious family in
American history, he inherited military
genius and statecraft, coupled with
courtesy and pleasantly. He was easy
ofapproach, friendly in department and
naturally made lasting friendships where
ever he went, the best evidence of which
is the fact that he was popular in all
parts of the country, and was esteemed
by those of all political persuasions.

Ii ard of Education.

Three sessions we're held in Richmond
yesterday by the State Board of Educa-
ton, devoted mainly TO tentatively Sc
lecting superintendent where there
are no strenuous contests. Where these
occur, no action was taken. AS stated
yesterday the board WIS retarded in its

I. West, who returned to ais home yes
terday afternoon because of the illness
of a relative. According to w. A.

To Reconsfruct Navy.

st. Petersburg, April 29.-The pre-
liminary steps for the reconstruction of
the Russian navy have been taken by
the government. Rumors as 10 the in
tentions of the Car on this subject have
been circulated for several months, and
these have been increased in the last few
days by the visit of American steel ex-
per:s and shipbuilders, to Tsarskoe-Selo.
where they we're received by the Gar.
Nothing in regard to the actual plans
was made known until today, however.
1t is now stated that orders have been
placed iD Germany for a number of tor
pedo boats. One battleship, two crui.
sers and eighteen submarines will be
laid down 10 Russian shipyards in the
pear future. 1t is probable that these
vessels will be constructed under the
supervision of Americans. No orders
for the construction Of battleships in
America have been given yet.

The Chicago Strike.

Chicago, April Chicago employers
will today test the regard of striking team
sters and other employees for the federal
injunction granted yesterday by Judge
Kohlsaat. General Manager Edwin T.
Reed, of the Employers leaning Com
pany, said that FIVE hundred drivers will
be sent out today with the injunction as
their only protection. The employers
rely upon the courts power to enforce its
mandates. A Washington dispatch last
night said that in case the strike gets be-
yond the control of the municipal and
State authorities, Governor Dineen's
requisition for federal assistance will be
promptly honored. Should the strike
sympathizers or mobs interfere with the
transportation of the mails, the federal
troops will be called into service. Dry
goods houses and express companies de-
ivered goods to all parts of the city and
suburbs during last night, free from in
reference and with little police protec-
ton. The United States Express Com
oany wagons had aguard OF thirty police
men but they had nothing TO do.
President Shea, of the Tesmsters'
Union, does not favor the idea of troops
in the city. At midnight, he sent the
following telegram to Secretary Taft, and
to Col. Yeatman, commanding the post
at Fort Sheridan:
"The international Brotherhood OF
Teamsters will furnish union drivers
without compression for all wagons do
lug government business. They will
obey orders issued by any teaming con-
tractors for the United States govern
ment."
Shea also spoke against the plan which
had gained some prominence of calling
out the freight handlers at the railway
depots. ave don't want the freight
handlers to quit" he said. "1fthey did,
it would throw all the teamsters Of Chi
cago out of business" y Mayor Dunno
feels able at the present time to control
the strike situation.
States Attorney Healy has been 10.
vestigating the strike and says if evidence
of conspiracy to boycott business firms
or restrain trade is found, the grand jury
will return indictments. The grand jury
viii submit its final report today.
Several disturbances are reported to-
day in which the participants received
INJURIES, mostly of a minor nature.
The packers have delivered an ultima
tum to their drivers, that they must de-
liver goods to boycotted firms or suffer
discharge. This means spread of the
strike to the stock yards.
President Roosevelt may be appealed
to end the strike as he did in the case
of the anthracite coal mines. A resolu-
ton asking the President to step in and
force the employers to arbitrate and so
avert the necessity of bringing troops to
Chicago, will be introduced in the Chlca-
go Federation of Labor at a special
meeting this afternoon.
At 1890 p. 10. double riot call was
turned in from Madison and Market
streets. Fifty shots have been fred.

The HIGHLY respectable citizens, the
leading business and financial leaders
and church pillars we're held up as the
most dangerous corruptionists in the
paper read before the National Munich
pal League in Philadelphia Thursday by
DIR. John B. Roberts on "The Real
Cause of Municipal Corruption" In
his paper DR.. Roberts said
Study of municipal ills show their
origin to be corporate greed fostered by
personal selfshness and indifference of
the citizen. The temper of the citizens
makes the social, political and CONNER
cial atmosphere of the municipality.
The claim that corruption in cities is
due alone to allegiance to parties is
evidently false, because state and
national governments are as honey
combed with corruption as city councils.
The same deals, Hobbies aud bribery
are found in Congress, legislatures and
Town councils. Equally untrue is the as
sertion that ignorant voters. who sell
their votes TO those handling campaign
funds, are the main factor in fraudulent
elections. These are only the puppets of
the political leaders, who must have the
same intellectual strength, acumen and
courage as are possessed by the captains
of industry and the prominent men OF
affairs.
The above excavations cannot be sue
cessfully controverted. If there were
no buyers Of voters there would be no
sellers
