NJ. Witte,s Papers Seized.

The correspondent of the London
Daily Mail sends that paper the extra
ordinary report that the first act of
the new minister of the interior. NJ.
Bouligan, on arriving in st. Peters
burg on Friday was to have the resi-
dence of NJ. Witte president of the
council of the empire, searched by the
police, who removed a mass of docu-
ments. for examination
NJ Witte was at home at the time
and the police made systematic and
thorough examination of all the pri-
vate papers in the house.
The correspondent adds that when
Minister Won Plehve was assassinated
he was carrying an order 10 the en-
peror for his signature, authorizing
just such perquisition for M. Whites
papers. 1t looks, therefore, the cor
respondent says, as though the new in
terror administration is beginning
just where Won Plehve left off.

PENNsYLVANlA'S TRAcKAGE.
Almost Enough to Encir=!o the Earth
With Steel Bands.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE length
of the Pennsylvania Railroads com
pany's lines is now 1O,5SS miles. This
is the greatest mileage the company
has ever had. 1t places it up among
the leaders and virtually at the head
of the long railroad systems.
The recent merger of the New York
Central with the Big Four and the
Michigan Central gives to that COM
pany a greater mileage, but if the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Norfolk and
Western and the Chesapeake and
Ohio lines were incorporated into the
Pennsylvania railroad system it would
far exceed that of any other.
With all the various first, second,
third and fourth tracks, also the sid
ings, the total trackage amounts to
Hiss miles. This is almost enough
to circle the globe with double row
of steel.
Pennsylvania has the greatest
amount of Pennsylvania railroad track,
the total amounting to $500 miles.
Ohio comes second with 1927 miles,
Indiana third, with 1,43S miles, and
New York fourth with S13 miles. Vir-
ginia has only IL miles The lines
east of Pittsburg have mileage of
1856, and the lines west of Pittsburg
4,731. Besides this the company has
II miles of canals and ferries.

AUTO UP THE CAPITOL STEPS.
Philadelphia Young Men Have Wa
ger on Climbing In Washington.


Philadelphia. Feb. 14-Not satisfied
with the accomplishment of climbing
the steps of prominent club in this
city in a 16-horse power motor car,
Carl Kelsey and Nathan Folwell, Sd,
an ex-Pennsylvania football player,
propose further to display their pow
ers as chauffeurs by climbing the Cap
ltol steps at Washington.
On Saturday afternoon Folwell lost
81 800 to Kelsey when the latter sue
cessfully climbed the steps of the Mer-
camille CLUB in his auto. Whether
Folwell shall pay double or nothing
is to be decided by the Capitol climb,
which they intend to attempt during
Inauguration week.
The plan is to go up the main steps
and descend the steep west side. Al
though the feat has been attempted
1t has never been accomplished and
the young men believe they will sue
ceed. A party of friends who wit
messed the climbing of the club steps
and who have laid wagers on the re-
suit of the trial will accompany the
principals.
If Kelsey succeeds and Folwell fails,
Kelsey will get $4,000 If Folwell sue
ceeds and Kelsey fails the bet is off
and the expenses of the trip are on
Folwell, as will be the case If both
succeed.

Had 1s Wives In 10 Years.

Confronted by living witnesses of
his duplicity at the coroner's investi-
cation in Chicago into the death of
Mrs. WalckerHoch, his last wife
but one, Johann Hoch, the much-mar-
ried man, according to the police, has
admitted his marriage to 13 women
in the last 10 years.
Eight of these women who at one
time bore the name of the alleged big.
amist now are dead but Hoch de-
oIares they died natural deaths and is
firm in his denial that he poisoned
any one of them.
With the exception of the identifi-
cation of Hoch by several Of his vic
tins or their friends, nothing new de-
veloped at the hearing and Coroner
Hoffman announced that the inquest
will be postponed until next Wednes-
day.
The principal witness was MS. F's-
cher-Hoch, a sister of the woman
over whom the inquest was being
held. The witness is the woman Hoch
married a few days after the death OF
Mrs. Walcker- Hoch. In her testimony
she explained in detail the circum-
stances surrounding the death of her
sister, but there was nothing in the
evidence to prove that Hoch was re
sponsible for the woman's death.

PETITIONS REFUSED.
Supreme Court Will Grant No New

CInC SOuIl WIN ant INO lNCW
Trial For Samuel Greason.
Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-Unless the
board of pardons, which meets in Har.
risburg on Wednesday, recommends
the Communication of the death sent.
ences of Mrs. Kate Edwards and Sam.
uel Greason, colored, of Berks county,
the woman and her alleged accomplice
will be hanged on Thursday of this
week in the Reading JAIL for the MUIR
der of John Edwards, her husband.
The case came before the supreme
court finally yesterday on two peti.
tions, one by the woman, in which she
held Greason blameless of the mur.
der of her husband, and prayed that
he be given a new trial, and another
by Greason in which he asked for a
reopening of his case on the ground
of newly discovered evidence. Both
petitions were refused, three of the
seven members of the court voting in
favor of the petitions.
The newly discovered evidence re.
ferred to in the Greason petition was
the confession of Mrs. Edwards in
which she stated that Greason had no
connection with the crime, that she
killed her husband, and that her
daughter Mary assisted her in throw
ing her husbands body into a els.
tern.
Counsel for Greason confidently eX.
pecteI that the supreme court would
reopen the case and Mrs. Edwards
counsel was relying upon such con
tingency to save his clients life. Had
the case been reopened, the woman
would have been reprieved in order
to testify in favor of the colored man,
but as the matter now stands only the
board of pardops can save Mrs. Ed
wards from the scaffold
Governor Pennypacker has refused

ommendation from the pardon board,
and this body does not meet until "a

execution.

was refused.
Counsel for Mrs. Edwards filed a
supplemental confession in which she
tells of the brutal murder of her hus.
band She found him lying on the
porch "in a drunken sleep and struck
him several times on the head with a
hammer. He raised himself to a sit.
ting posture and then rolled into the
yard, where | again struck him with
the hammer several times"
She then relates how her daugh-
ter assisted her to throw the body
into a cistern, and the means taken
to cleanse the porch and her dress of
bloodstains.
Mrs. Edwards prison-born child
was taken from the Reading Jail. 1t
was brought to this city, and later
left for Washington.
