]. Samuel MCCue Pays the Pen
atty for Wife Murder.

Charlottesville, Va, Feb. IA.
Samuel McCue, ex mayor Of this city
was hanged in the eouuty Jail here
to-day for the murder Of his wife.
MrCue was pronounced dead eight
minutes after the trap was sprung.
McCue's three spiritual advisers gave
out the following signed statement:
y. Samuel McCue stated this morn.
ing in our presence and requested us
to make public that he did not wish
to leave this world With suspicion
resting on any human being other
than himself: that he alone WAS re
sponsihle Tor the deed, impelled To- ii
10y all evil power b, You'd his control,
and that be recognized his sentence
as Just"
The crime for which the exmsyor
WAS tried and convicted occurred the
night OF September 4. Mr.. and Mrs
NcCue hal gone To church, returning

terward Mrs McCuo's dead body, lad

told those who came in that some
one had entered the house upon theil
return from church, that he had beer
knocked senseless and his wife prob
ably killed, An investigation led t.
the arrest upon the charge oimurdel
81 a man who only four days beior,

McCue had the support OF his broth
ers.

DEATH PLAYS A PART
Ohio Lawsuit with Which Several
Tragedies Have Been Connected.
Twenty-Five Years Contest Over
Ownership of Farm Ended
Principals, Judges and Law
yers Have Passed Away.

A noted suit with which several
tragedies have been connected and
which has been dragging through the
courts Tor 25 years has finally come 10
an end at Cincinnati.
The case stands as a novelty in Ohio
litigation. Old Ohio names figure in it
Gil through. but death ended the contro-
versy for all the original parties TO the
suit before the end came in court.
The case was that Of Susie Van B.bber
and her husband Andrew against the
heirs Of Gen. Duncan Macarthur. one
time governor of Ohio and It's repre-
sentative in the United States senate.
He died in 1859. the richest man, or
one of the few richest men, in the state
at that time, his possessions including
100 broad-acred farms, scattered
through - counties. Susie Van Bibber
was a granddaughter of Gen, Macarthur,
1t took years for the settling up Of
this more than feudal domain. but 1t
was finally parceled out among the chill
dren and grandchildren. with the ex-
ception of large farm in Scioto county.
The distribution of this was disputed
by Mrs. Van Bibber. She and her hus-
band considered they were not receiv-
ing their share in the Scioto lands,
They brought suit against the other
heirs. both for a share in the lands and
for $4,000 as compensation for the ex-
clusion from the land during som.
years
The suit was filed In the United States
court In Cincinnati in April, 1879. The
Van Bibbers' attorneys were Rufus
King and his partners, Mr., Thompson
and Lawrence Maxwell, Jr.. the latter
I, at the time being the junior member
| Of the firm.
Tom Ambrose, who later gave noted
name to local history, was then clerk OF
the United States courts.
The proceedings in the court were
fought with vigor and determination by
both Sides as the disputed lands com
prised very valuable part of Scioto
county. Reports, references, eXamina-
tons. etc, dragged out through many
years.
The Judge Of the court died and two
| others succeeded him.
Rufus King died, and years still later
his associate, Mr. Thompson, passed
away.
Mrs. Van Bibber was shot to death by
her husband. being mistaken by him
for burglar in their residence on Price
Hill. Cincinnati, some Is years ago. Ht
was held for murder, but never tried
1t becoming evident that the tragic az
fair was due clearly to mistake.
Last year Van Bibber himself blew
out his brains at Chicago. He had beer
living there and was believed demente,
over his misfortunes.

HIGH SPEED IN FRANCE.
Railroads PInn to Run TrainS from
Paris to Marseilles at Rate of
Sixty Miles an Hour.

The Paris, Lyons &, Mediterranean
Railroad company has arranged a time
table by which certain trains can run
from Paris to Marseilles in eight
hours and to Nice in three hours
more. All that is needed to PIT this
schedule in force is the sanction of the
minister of public works.
The distance from Paris to Nice is,
roughly speaking, $50 miles. To do
the journey in II hours would mean
an average speed of 60 miles an hour
without making allowance for stops.
On the line from Paris to Orleans IS
miles an hour has already been at
tanned. SO that high speed is no new
thing in. France.

A blind man at Homestead, Pa, was
struck by a trolley car recently. and
when he recovered consciousness he
found that the jar he had received had
restored his eyesight. The Springfield

probably sue him to recover a sum for a
surgical operation.

STEEL ANTICIPATION.
Pittsburg's Expectations as to the
Quarterly Earnings Showing.

There is less real interest taken at Pitts
burg in tomorrow's meeting of the United
States Steel directors and in their state
March 81 than at any time since the or
ganizatiOn of the corporation. This is at
tributed to the prevailing prosperity in the
industry. Immediately after the trust was
launched there was the deepest concern in
its probable outcome. Eighteen months ago
this took the form of uneasiness as to the
ability of the corporation to earn it's quar-
terly preferred dividends. The situation
today Is that all the mills and furnaces are
crowded with orders, and the tonnage
placed Herewith Is the largest on record.
Estimates on the earnings run from SIG
10000 to $27, 100000. If anything like the
latter sum is shown, 1t will be the largest
return for any first quarter, and will COM
pare with $13,445 232 in 1904; So, O6S TOT in
1903, and $26. ia, 457 in 1902. Early in De-
cember, when the Importance of the trade
revival was beginning to be fully appre-
ciated. Wall street estimate of $50 600
900 was ridiculed here, and it was then
predicted the showing would not exceed
500 500. 900.
In the coming statement, however. II is
supposed that charges for reserve and de-
charged off either in 1904 or 1903. The cor
poration Is now in a much better position
to increase these charges, and critics have
always been contending that the amounts
charged off have been insufficient It is the
amount of untitled orders on hand April /.
however, which will attract most attention
in the statement. The total on January 1
was 1896, 2O3 tons, and high record in the
company's history was the $40 719 tons of
April /, 1903.

of the vessels equipped with reciprocating
engines and another with the Curtis type
of turbine engines installed and that the
Bath Iron Works of Bath. Me build the
third with the Parsons type of turbine en-
gines installed OF the six concerns bidding
for the contracts for these vessels the
Fore River and Bath companies were the
lowest for vessels with turbine installa-
ton, while the Fore River was the lowest
bidder in both classes. The maximum price
fixed by law for the construction of these
vessels is 81 100000 but the bids favorably
recommended by the construction board
are considerably under that figure
The turbine engine will be something en-
tirely new to the United States navy, and
will be given its first trial in United States
men-of-war when installed in the scouts
which are required to make maximum
speed of "a knots. In addition to high
speed these vessels to be so constructed
as to have great steaming radius. The
Parsons turbine is an English while the
Curtis is an American type. thus the two
systems will be given a test which will be
comparative, as the two vessels will be
delivered to the navy and put in service at
about the same time.
