TRAGEDY ON ELEVATED TRAIN.
Insurance Man Shoots RaIroader fer
Alternating Wife's Affections.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Passengers on an
eastbound Metropolitan elevated train
have been thrown into a panic when
George H. Gould, cashier of an insur
ance company, shot and fatally wound.
ed A. r. Hammond, a guard employed
by the road.
Hammond was off duty and was re-
turning home Gould boarded the
train and entered the car where the
guard was sitting. Witnesses to the
shooting say he at once accused Ham
mond of alternating the affections of
his wife, who, Gould said, left home
deserting her husband and three little
children a week ago. Words followed,
and before the train had reached the
next station Gould drew revolver
and fired two shots.
There were more than 20 passengers
in the car, and they fed to the other
coaches of the train. The train crew
telephoned to the police asking for an
ambulance to meet the train at the
Marshfield avenue station They then
hurried the wounded man at the
Marshf1eld avenue station. They then
hurried the wounded man to that sta
tion without making stops. Gould
stayed in the car and surrendered him
self to the police.
Among the persons in the station at
Marshf1eld avenue was Mrs. Gould,
who said she was waiting for a friend
whose name she refused to divulge.
When she saw Hammond being carried
out of the station, she started for
ward with cry.
Both she and her husband were
locked up.
Hamond was taken TO a hospital,
where, it was said, he could not re
cover. One of the bullets took effect
in his left side an inch below the heart
and the other penetrated his wrist.
Before their marriage Mrs. Gould was
Mary Scott.

TEA IN TABLOID FORM
Good Quality of IL Used and Enjoyed
by Russian omcers In
MRnchuPia.

Compressed tea is common enough in ST.
IBERIA, but so far as ! know an unknown
commodity in this country. 1t is an ordi-
nary black tea, which is very widely used
by the Buriats OF the trans Baikal region,
by whom the herb thus prepared is drunk,
favored with salt and sour cream. Sugar
would be preferred, of course, but It is
either unattainable or too high priced
costing as 1t does. from rs cents to 81 a
pound.
The compressed tea is OF. very good
quality, Just now It is OF interest because
It is used by the Russian officers In
Manchuria. The tea is compressed by
superb modern machinery. evidence of
which Is afforded by the splendid specimen
of die-sinking on the tablet itself. Such
has been the pressure employed that the
formerly soft and yielding leaves assume
the appearance OF hard tile, which can
with dificulty be cut with a knife. AS a
general rule, mRllet or hammer is used
to break on piece very much as II the
tablet were of stone.
The tea employed Is a straight suchong.
which needs no cream because nature has
given it a slightly creamy taste and also
one that is feebly saccharine, so that IL
requires less sugar than other teas In
flavor this compressed tea can not be
compared with the natural herb. Il is
much fiatter in taste, but possesses the
same stimulating properties. A piece the
size OF thimble is suficient for large,
strong cup. No teapot Is necessary.
scaiding water is poured on the nugget
in a cup ana In a few minutes the tea Is
ready.
No cementing agent whatever is used in
COMPRISING high-grade teas-not even sug-
ared water nor artificial heat. The little
heat that Is generated In compression

was badly mangled. Harvey was unable

than to state that he fell asleep near the
tracks. Police Surgeon j. +. Langdon
dressed the injured member. The index
fnger on the injured hand will likely have
TO be amputated. Harvey was given lodg-
