JOHNSTOWN HAS
ANOTHER HORROR
i Railroad Brakeman Shoots
Women He Had Separated
and Then Suicides.
HIS VICTIM MAY LIVE
IT Is THOUGHT THE CRIME WAS
COMMITTED OUT OF JEALOUSY
AS WOMAN WAS TO RETURN
TO HUSBAND.
Publishers Press1

Johnstown, Pa, April Thomas
Pugh, a railroad brakeman employed
on the b. & o. railroad in its yards in
this city, shot and badly wounded
Mrs. Charles Witt this evening, and
then sent a bullet crashing into his
temple He attacked the woman in
the kitchen of her home, shooting her
once in the hip. She fed to the street
and was followed by Pugh, who shot
her again in the arm. The woman fell,
and the murderer, believing that he
had killed the woman, turned the
weapon on himself and kut a bullet
through his brain, dying instantly.
Pugh was "a years of age, and his vic
tim 20.
Mrs. Witt was hurried to the Me-
mortal hospital, where it is stated she
will recover. The tragedy was the re-
suit of jealousy. Pugh had, while
a boarder at the Witt home, caused a
separation between the woman and
her husband. He afterwards lived
with her, and 1t is believed that he at
tempted to kill her because she
threatened to leave him to return to
her husband, who was expected to ar
rive in the city this evening.
The shooting occurred in a crowded
street and caused intense excitement

EXPECTED.

While the weather has been disa.
greeable to both city and country peo-
pie in point of comfort. 1t has been
most beneficial to crops and Walter
Ratliff, west of the city, says that
everything is in the best possible con-
dition. Mr. Ratlif says that the
season Is not backward and II the ex-
cess moisture goes out of the ground
soon, it can be plowed and made ready
for seeding at the proper time.
Wheat looks especially good and
unless there is some unforeseen turn
in the weather the yield this year will
be greater than Of the previous years.
Last year wheat yielded good crop,
and the farmers who had any great
amount Of 1t planted. were well re-
paid for their labor. This year, much
more ground was sown with wheat
and a banner crop is expected.
w. J. Phillips, of Washington, gov.
eminent entomologist, will be here
this month to look after his expert
mental station on the Ratliff farm.
Mr.. Phillips is watching the results of
the work of insects in seeds, grasses
and grain, and Is making special
study of the Hessian fly, the ravages
of which have caused much trouble
in this part OF the country. Mr..
Phillips last year secured much val
liable information in regard to the in
sects of this section and hopes to find
way to exterminate them.

Down roo steps In Motor Car.

One of the most daring and reckless
automobiling feats took place at Ia
coma. Wash. recently when a Mr.. Car
rol drove his car, weighing one ana
half tons and brakeless. down Il wood
ell staircase of 200 steps. Scarcely had
the machine started on it's rerlous de-
scent than every tire was torn of the
wheels while third of the way down
the monster car had reached a speed Of
eighty miles an hour and was taking
crashing leaps over twenty steps at a
time. And yet. marvellous to relate.
the journey was successfully accom-
plished, although when at last its me-
teoric flight was arrested and the car
was brought to standstill it was
found that almost every part OF the
mechanism was broken.

Mayor Says He May Not Be
Able to Present Light Prop
0Siti0n to Council.
FIFTH WARD ORDINANCE
1T Is THOUGHT THAT COUNCIL
WILL TAKE UP PROPOSED
MEASURE AND DISPOSE OF 1T
TONIGHT.

1t is probable that there will be no
written proposal for the purchase of
the Municipal Lighting & Power plant
submitted at the meeting of the city
council tonight. Early last week May
or Zimmerman gave out for publica-
ton that the proposition he had re-
ceived was only verbal but that ne ex-
pected to receive a written proposal
by the middle of the week, in which
case he would call a special session
of council. This proposition was not
received at the time stated BIZ the
Mayor and last evening he said that
it has not been received up to that
time.
Mayor Zimmerman was asked if the
proposition would be given to him
Monday and he stated that he did not
know. People acquainted with the
situation are Of the opinion that the
unfavorable reception accorded the
proposition by the press and the gen.
eral public has caused the parties
WIZ dl diICi IhC piopClly W give up
their efforts.
1t is probable that the ordinance
introduced at the last meeting of
council. declaring that part of the
Fifth Ward south of the railriad res
idence portion of the city, will be CIV
en- it's second and third readings and
submitted to vote tonight. The gen.
eral impression is that the ordinance
will be passed. The West Second
street viaduct matter will again be up
for consideration but it is mont known
whether any definite action will be
taken. 1t is hardly probable that the
report of City Engineer Charles on
the Main street viaduct matter will
be ready to be submitted to council
tonight.

ANXIOUS TO SEE GREET
EXCITEMENT AT EARLHAM
Quaker Goods Wanted to See Actor,
But Had to Write Parents Before
Telegram.

There was CONSERVATION Thursday
last in the girls dormitory at Earl
ham College. The cause of 1t all
was the hesitancy displayed on the
part of the faculty whether it would
be proper or improper to allow the
young lady students to attend the
Greet Shakespearen performances at
the Gennett Saturday afternoon and
evening. The girls at Earlham are
not accorded the pleasure of attend
ing theatrical attractions very often,
but they were confident that they
would be allowed the privilege Of
seeing Greet.
The faculty finally decided that If
the young ladie could obtain the con-
sent of their parents they would be
allowed to go to the show. When the
announcement was made there was
a alrge investment in postage stamps.
One girl, who lives in Iowa, had to
wire for permission. Nearly every
girl in the school, as well as the
boys, were at the Gennett Saturday
evening.

THREW DICE FOR
A GIRLS HEART
Fair Prize Stood by While Rival Youths
Juggled the Ivory
Cubes.

A game of dice settled a rivalry of
long standing for the heart and affec-
tons Of Miss Lula Baker, a pretty ste
nographer in the Merchants hotel of
Omaha. The gamesters were Jules
Althaus of Omaha and Jack Mitchell
of Council Bluffs, both we'll known
young business men. and while the
game was in progress Miss Baker
stood by and encouraged the young
men.
For several years the two men had
been rivals for Miss Bakers heart.
Finally they decided to throw dice, the
loser to drop out of the race. Miss
Baker agreed to abide by the result.
After each had won game and Mitch
ell had thrown four skies Miss Baker
begged Althaus to let her shake for
him. Althaus refused and threw a non
descript hand. He shook hands with
Mitchell and the girl and walked away.
saying he would never call on her
again.

Reports from southern Nigeria give
an account of the murder by natives
OF DIR. Stewart, medical officer at
Owerri, an outstation. He was bicy-
cling along the road near the station
and, losing his way. went on into an
unfriendly country. For two or three
days no news of his whereabouts could
be obtained until at last friendly ma
tive came in with the information that
DIR. Stewart had been caught by the
Ahiras, a powerful race, who occupy
most of the hinterland.
1t seems like a strange mingling OF
civilizations, but the reports are to the
effect that the man was captured while
he was riding n bicycle and eaten by
cannibals, his wheel being broken and
made over into trinkets, which were
worn by the chiefs at the feast.
