 w. c. Eaton, the station agent at Brawley, was run over by the cars last Friday evening and one of his legs so seriously injured as to make amputation necessary. He was overseeing the op- eratlon of icing and sealing the carloads of cantalonpes, when sudden jerk threw him between the cars. He was taken to the railroad hospital at Los Angeles for treatment. His wife and children had just left for the east the day before

 Thelma, the little daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. E. Stovall, had the mis- fortune to fall and break her left arm last Sunday. She was playing with Lieutenant Weber's dog when the accident occurred. She was taken to Phoenix Monday by Mr.. w. A. Deal, friend of the family who was visiting here, and will be carefully nursed during her convalescense by her Grand mother Stovall,
 Work has been begun on new bridge over New river at Brawley, and it is hoped that it. may be completed and communication established with the people il No. 8 at an early date. At present the only means of crossing the river dry shod is on a cable and since it broke down with two passengers and they both narrowly escaped drowning, this aerial method of navigation has de- clined in popularity. There was talk of establishing ferry at Brawley, but there is no likelihood of the river re- mainng at such a stage as to make one necessary for more than month longer and the scheme has been abandoned. The Holtville bridge is still out and SO are all the rest, but they will be replaced with more substantial structures as soon as the water subsidies sufficiently to per init it.
 Latest Overflow News.
 The latest reports from the Colorado river are to the effect that it is falling very rapidly, is now we'll within its banks and the end of the great flood of 1905 has been reached. The amonnt of wat CT being diverted by the Imperial canal, however, is increasing for at the meas urement made by the U. S. Hydrograph- CT on June 30th there was a total of 13,97l second feet flowing in the Imperi- al canal and coming to this valley. This was an increase of 3829 second feet in seven days and indicates serious condi- tions if they are not speedily remedied. The lower Mexican intake was 184 feet wide, about l5 feet deep and flowing nearly four miles an hnnr, carrying l0,- 426 secund feet oi water. The total flow of the Colorado on June 30th was 61 ,000 second feet and these measurements show that more than one sixth of the total flow of the Colorado is breaking through at this lower Mexican opening and leaving the river channel for the Imperial valley. Since June 30th the river has dropped fully two feet and it's total flow decreased to approximately 10000 second feet, but there is no reason to expecta like diminution in the amount of water diverted by the Imperial canals. The rivers in our valley are just about as high as they ever have been and the overflow cannot be said to have receded perceptibly as yet. The volume of wat

The first card reception OF the season
will be given at the White House this
evening when President and Mrs. ROose-
welt will receive in honor of the Diplo-
matte Corps. Three others will be given
before Lent, namely the Army and
Navy, Judicial, aud Congressional, but
none is expected to be as brilliant as to-
nights function. About 1000 invita-
tions have been sent out for the recep-
ton, yet even with this large number
scattered over the city and country
several hundred persons who have made
requests for cards will be disappointed.
A large force of decorators and florists
have been busy during the last few days
putting the White House in order for
tonight's reception.
In way, it was struggle between the

won. When President Roosevelt. began
the series of conferences, looking to a

visitors that he had summoned them
that che might find out where he stood
on the subject of tariff revision" That
pleasantly made quite agreeable stu
alton which otherwise might have been
considered tense, but it did not enthuse
the stand-pa,ters of the House into
lining up for the President. whom they
regarded as the champion of the extra
session policy. Notwithstanding the
diplomatic approaches of the President,
they stood pat, as OF yore. President
Roosevelt let it be known, that be had
not the slightest notion of "ramming
an extra session down the thrOst OF
Congress. He gave assurance that
the House, bearing the brunt OF the
responsibility in the event of tariff reyis-
ion. should have its way in the matter.
and if the temper of the House should
prove him in the minority, why that
would settle it. Speaker Cannon gave

WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE.

John L. renner, a Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad extra freight conductor,
crazed by drink, returned to his home,
81 Oak street, South Cumberland, Nd,
Yesterday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, which
he had left on Friday last, and when
reproached by his indignant wife, who
asked him to 60 away from her, he drew
his revolver and shot her through the
forehead, killing her instantly. Pennsr
then turned the weapon on himself and
fired, the bullet entering his left temple
causing his death a short time afterward.
The crime was committed 10 the pres
ence of four of the couples young chill
dren, two others being away at school
at the time. In breathless silence they
huddled together on couch, frightened
and grief.stricken. Finally, the eldest
girl, about 10 years old, realized what
had happened, aud sometime later ran
out of the house to the Manhattan res
taurant, about half mile away, where
her aunt, a sister of her mother, was
employed, and in her childish manner
told what had occurred.
r. 7. Kaufman accompanied the
child and her aunt to the scene of the
tragedy. There, in two large pools of
blood and with their brains scattered on
the carpet, lay the two dead bodies
Penner was about 81 years old. He
was native of Indian Springs, Nd,
about 10 miles east Of Hancock. Both
his father and mother are living, as are
three brothers and a sister. He entered
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad service
several years ago, and before coming to
Cumberland was yardmaster at Cherry
Run. The murdered woman was born in |
the mountains near Cherry Run. She was
about 36 years of age. Penper had
before, while drunk, to kill |
his wife, and once thrust revolver in |
her face. Mrs. Penner yesterday morn
ing sent for w. l.. Crutchley, an old |
friend Of the family, and told him her
husband had told her sister, on Thursday
last that be intended to kill his wife.
