He Is Unable to Assign Motive; All
Was Well When He Left
Home.

A woman and four children were
found dead in bed at their home, 30
Dennis street, Roxbury district, Bos-
ton, on the night of February 6. An
investigation by the police indicates
that the woman, Mrs. Annie l.. Dix
on, had killed the children and her
self by opening three gas jets. The
children were Annie, aged years;
George, 3 years months; Mildred, 2
years, and Marion, | year.

when he returned home from work in
the evening. Dixon found the house
locked and was obliged to break in the
front door He found the bodies of his
wife and children in bedroom.
Medical Examiner A. A. Mcdonald
decided that Mrs. Dixon had killed
the children and herself. Dixon told
the police that he left home at 6
O'Clock in the morning to go to his
work. AT that time his wife was up
and the children were all awake and
he did not notice anything unusual.
Dixon is 81 years old and his wife

AFFECTS 10000 MINERS
Company Closes Mines Pending
Settlement of Dispute.

All mines along the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg railroad
operated by the Clearfield and JEFF
ferson Coal and Iron company were
closed, pending the settlement OF
trouble at Yatesboro, Helvetia and
Sykesville.
A convention of the miners and
sub-district officers was held at
Punxsutawney Monday and Tuesday,
and an unsuccessful effort was made,
then to adjust the difficulties at the
above places. The convention decid-
ed TO call mass meetings of all min
ers in the region to be held at PUNK
sutawney and Reynoldsville About
10000 miners are affected.
As a result, orders were issued by
the railroad authorities to discontin-
ue all coal and coke shipments. This
move will effect about 1000 railroad
men besides about 800 mechanics in
the shops at this place.

ASKED TO PROVE MERCER
Moody Urged to Take Hand in
Probing Alleged Combination.
SOFT COAL MEN COMPLAIN
Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt Roads
Charged With Acts Violating the
Sherman Law.

Attorney General Moody will be
urged to begin proceedings against
the railroads alleged to control the
bituminous coal traffic on the ground
that they have entered into COM
bination in restraint of trade. The
appeal to the attorney general will be
made by Mr.. Townsend, Of Michigan,
one of the authors of the Hepburn
rate bill.
Mr. Townsend will base his request
on the interstate commerce commits
sion, in response to the Gillespie
resolution and information furnished
him by Logan II. Bullitt, of Phila-
delphia, president of the Red Rock
Fuel Company.
The latter's complaint of discrimi-
nation by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company has been presented to
congressional committees and made
public in the Senate by Mr. altman,
of South Carolina.
Mr.. Townsend is convinced the
bituminous coal-carrying roads, under
the denomination of the Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt systems, have forced
a combination clearly obnoxious to the
Sherman antitrust law. He believes
he can induce Mr. Moody to take ac-
tion without waiting for the further
investigation provided in the second
Gillespie resolution introduced Febru-
AIRY Z.
Meanwhile Mr. Gillespie will strive
TO secure from the House committee
favorable report on his resolution
requesting the President to direct the
commission to begin an investigation.
If the attorney general declines to un-
dertake prosecution the Gillespie reso-
luton will be pressed. Mr.. Gillespie
has already had many letters from the
railroad sections offering him eyi-
dence. Some of them are unsigned,
the writer's declaring they fear busi-
ness disaster.

EXPLOSION KILLS MINERS
Workmen's Lives Suddenly Cut

DEAD TERRIBLY MuTILATED
Parts Of the Mine Were Badly
Wrecked and the Property
Damage Will Be Great.

The death list resulting from the
explosion in the Paral mine of the
Stuart Colliery Company in Fay
cite county, w. Va, will not be as
large as was first feared. Six dead
bodies have been recovered, 12 were
rescued alive and II more are stil
in the mine. The latter, no doubt,
have succumbed TO the gas and foul
air which filled the mine for hours
after the explosion, and all hope of
finding any of the alive has been
abandoned.
The men rescued are +. Y. Fitz-
gould, John Kimball, Robert Pratt,
Erwin Riggs, Rodman Opineki, +. p

Neal, colored, Charles Matthews.
colored; Herbert Galloway, colored;
The dead taken out are: George
Morris, Ike Spears, Hans Covia,
Joseph Hunter, Joseph Lumley, one
unidentified.
All the dead were found east of the
air shaft, where the force of the ex-
plosion seems to have been the most
severely felt. William Morris, a
gigantic negro, was found with his
body cut in two, the upper and low
er parts being 100 yards apart. The
other dead who have been found
were all terribly mutilated. but were
little burned and easily recognized.
Parts of the mine are badly wreck
ed and the property damage will be
great. The Stuart Colliery Company
is one of the few companies operat-
ing shaft mines in this field. The
average depth of the mine in which
the explosion occurred is about 700
feet.

Mrs. II. w. Kavel, of Allegheny, Pa,

pneumonia following three days after
giving birth to a child cut the throat

Mrs. Kavel is the wife of r. w.
Kavel, an employe of the Pittsburs
Locomotive Works in Allegheny. They
live at 16 Iowa alley. DR.. d. M.
Adams was attending her and he
found her delirious. Mrs. Kavel was
in such condition that DR.. Adams told
Kavel to keep the children out of her
room. Kavel obeyed the instructions
carefully and his wife seemed to rest
more easily. About 6 O'Clock she
called her husband and told him to
take, Albert the oldest child, down
stairs and get him some supper, leav-
ing the baby and the little girl in her
room.
Kavel was gone but few minutes
and on returning found that Mrs.
Kavel had cut the throats of each of
them and then slashed them across
the wrists

COUNTESS SUES FOR DIVORCE
Effort Of Lawyers to Effect Recon-
cllliation Proves Futile.


Countess Boni de Castellane Qorm-
erly Anna Could, entered a plea for
divorce in the Paris courts. Repre-
sentatives of the countess and the
count appeared before Judge Ditte,
of the court of first instance, who, in
conformity with the French law, en-
deavored to arrange concilliation
before allowing a definite suit to pro-
ceed.
1t is said upon unquestionable au-
thority that Judge Ditte's efforts were
not successful, the countess abso-
lutely declining to resume her rela-
tions with her husband, and that after
repeated but vain attempts by Count
de Castellane's advisers to arrange
settlement the representatives OF
the count and countess left the court.
The suit will proceed.
Another judicial effort at reconcile
liation will almost certainly be made
before the suit comes to trial in the
ordinary course.
No decision has been reached re-
lative to the eventual custody of the
children, but they, being under age,
will for the present remain in the care
of their mother.
