DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Quarrel Between Husband and Wife
Leads to Shocking Crime.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 2,--John C. Wal
ton, after five minutes conversation
with his wife tonight, killed her by
cutting her throat with a razor, and
then after cutting his own throat,
walked to the Office Of a physician three
hundred yards distant, and expired,
just as police officers We're about to
place him under arrest.
The double tragedy was enacted in
the dining room of the house occupied
by Mrs. Waltons mother, Mrs Eliza
beth E. Hackett, in the cast end. There
were no witnesses and what passed be-
tween husband and wife prior to Wal
toms deed, will probably never be
known. The couple were married about
ten years ago and had four children.
About two years ago Mrs, Walton
left her husband, but was reconciled
through the good offices of her mother.
A bitter quarrel several months ago
brocght about another separation.
When Walton's eight year old daugh-
ter, Bessie, answered the bell to let
the father in the house tonight, he
was heard to kiss the little one and
send her for her mother. Mrs. Walton
went to meet her husband. In about
five minutes a shrek from the woman
brought the family quickly to the din
ing room, where they found her body.
She died within a minute. After COM
mitting the murder, Walton cut his own
throat and was traced by the trail of
blood to a physicians office about 300
yards away. Just as the police enter
ed the office, Walton threw back his
head and died without having uttered
a word in explanation of his deed
Both the Hackett and Walton fam
lilies are well to do and respected. WAL
ton was recently employed at the West
inghouse Machine companys plant in
Wilmerding.

PRESIDENT POTTER DEAD,
Head OF Long Island Railroad succumbs
y to Meningitis.

New York, April 2.-President Will
liam f. Potter, of the Long Island
railroad, died here to-day of cerebro-
spinal meningitis. Mr.. Potter had been
ill for the past month, having suffered
a chill on his return from a meeting of
the board of directors of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad in Philadelphia March 8.
His condition was so serious that he
was unable to proceed to his home in
Flushing, l.. l., and was taken to a ho-
tel, where he remained until his death.
With him at the last were his wife, his
sons, Horace, aged twenty-four, and
William F., jr., aged fourteen; his
daughter, Sarah, aged eighteen; his
father, Henry C. Potter, of Saginaw,
Mich, and his brother, Henry c, Potter,
jr., of Detroit.
Mr.. Potter was born in Utica, N. Y,
in 1S46, and began his railroad career
as brakeman on the Fit and Pere
Marquette railroad, of which his father
was vice-president. He rose rapidly to
the post of general superintendent,
which he held until 1892, when he be-
came general superintendent of the
Long Island railroad, and soon after
vice-president. He was elected presi-
dent on January 1S last, following the
death of President William H. Baldwin,

MORE POSTOFFICE GRAFT.
Inspector Accepts ''LOan" from a Com
pany Under Investigation.

Philadelphia, April 2.-George C..
Holden, the inspector in the United
States postal service attached to the
Philadelphia division, who admitted
yesterday that the Storey Cotton COM
pany. most of whose officers are fugi-
tives from justice, advanced $1,100 to
him as a loan for few days, has sent
his resignation to Washington.
Inspector Holden tonight in an inter-
view told how he came to accept the
loan from Storey. He said he had been
sent to the offices of the Storey Cotton
company to make an investigation as
the result of a complaint. While there
he met Storey. Holden was about to
leave the Office when in conversation
with Storey, he (Holden) incidentally
mentioned that he had to go out and
raise some money quickly to tide him.
self over in stock transaction. Storey
told him he would lend him the money
and Holden replied that he could not ac-
cept loan, as he might have to inves-
tigate the company at a future time.
Storey, Holden says, assured him
that the company was doing a legiti-

again have occasion to look into the
affairs of the concern. Storey insisted,
ne said, in helping him out and Holden
finally accepted draft. Holden says
he realized few minutes later that he
had acted indiscreetly, and made every
effort to pay the loan back as quickly
as he could. This he did in a few days.
The Philadelphia Record tomorrow
will say that Inspector Holden declares
that Harrison ]. Barrett, formerly of
the postoffice department, Washington,
and nephew of the late James Tyner,
who was involved in the postoffice
scandal, was the attorney for the Sto-
.rey Cotton company while he was actu-
ally connected with the postoffice de-
.partment. .5g..
Asked if it was true, as Holden con-
tends, that Barrett was responsible for
the failure of the postoffice department
to issue fraud order against the Sto-
rey company and that he was their law
yer, United States Assistant District
Attorney Stewart said tonight:

into the Storey affairs and the discov-
cry Of certain papers seems. to partially
bear out that contention. I know what
he got.''

directed the work on the tunnel, con-
Quoted the Italian train, which part of

recent freshet overflowed. it's banks and
a large quantity of water poured into
the town, this being the usual exper-

flooded and in some places the water
was ten feet deep. This afternoon La

padded down Naubuc street In a canoe

. Russians Retreat at One Point.
Gunshu Pass (1GS miles north of Tie
Pass, April 2.-The situation here is
unchanged. General Mistchenko has
moved forward into close touch with
the Japanese and keeps up constant
skirmishing. Elsewhere everything is
quiet.
General Mistchenko, when he learned
of the beginning Of the panic during
the retreat from Mukden, though an
unhealed wound forbade his walking,
drove in a carriage to his force and
assumed command, which he has since
retained, though he is unable to ride
over the deeply-m roads, which are
beginning to dry.
! Native reports, which may be taken
for what they are worth, state that the
Japanese are leaving before the Rus
sian front only a screen capable, with
the help of the Mukden and Tie Pass
Notifications and garrisons, of holding
lin check General Lineviteh, and are
transferring the bulk of their five
armies to Fladivostok and, by means
of wide movement through Mongolia,
! to Tsitsihar. Considering the great
distances involved, the plan appears too
bold and almost impracticable; but
Japanese intoxication from continued
success, bold initiative and determined
perseverance must be regarded. The
situation affords an opportunity for
Russian cavalry which thus far has
played an insignificant role, to distin-
guish itself by penetrating the Japanese
intentions.
General Linevitch has ordered the re-
sumption of drills, keeping the soldiers
occupied in the daytime, and music in
the bivouacs at night. An energetic
regime is being instituted. The soldiers
are much attached to the new COM
! mander ON account of his simple, SOL
dierly style of living.
Reports that beri-beri has been prev
aIent among the Russian troops at any
time are unfounded. No case has been
reported. The army is being resupplied
with equipment fer the summer which
the officers especially need, several reg
iments during the retreat throwing
away all the officers baggage.
