LOUIE STANDS NO THRILLING
Takes a Big Knife to Her Man who
Had shown Symptoms of
shaking Her.

Knives and other edged tools are usually
used for the purpose OF rending asunder
but Louie Kyles, a colored woman, living
with her man, William. at us North Elev
enth street, put one of the instruments into
service Sunday evening in an endeavor to
keep her marriage ties from swapping and
being trailed in the dirt of the streets and
alleys Of the Third ward, as though "Bill'
had never promised, six years ago, to love-
cherish and the rest, forever an" ever. For
six years, she told Captain Mostyn at the
police station. they have lived together
and not more than once or twice in all
that time has 1t been necessary to call a
surgeon, so quiet and free from domestic
strife has their home been.
But alas and alack! One day another
woman came along. fixed up to captivate
any gallants heart. Now William Dean
Kyles has been trifing in a wicked moment,
or such was the burden of his wfe's story.
But she wasn't going to stand being any
back number and proposed to have and to
hold her husband for better or for worse,
and just then a knife came in the way OF
her gaze and she grabbed 1t and set after
her mate in a manner most loving and
glorious to see. He ran for the street but
she could go some, too, and reaching out
gave him a slash with the knife cutting a
cash more than a foot long I'm his back.
But she had been rather indiscreet in the
choice OF time and place and had forgotten
to look out and see who was around, for
just as the blade was making excellent
time toward the foot and a half post, De-
tectives Dummy and Maloney stopped this
haste and hurry, and marched all of tC
Jail. Police Surgeon Elmore fixed up Kyles'
wound, which was found to be superficial
and as the man refused TO make any com
plant against his wife they were locked
up on charges of being disordery.

NEW TRACKS BY THE STATES
Railway Building Progresses on Most
Extensive soals for Years.
OVERTIME THOUSAND NILES IN SIX MONTHS

Nine ststes and Ter

The Railway Age gives this interesting
resume of railroad building in this coun-
try:
lie progressing on more extensive scale
than for many years past and the mileage
Of track laid on new lines during the hrsf
half OF the year is greater than that OF any
similar period for the last fifteen years
with the exception OF i9O2, when 23i4 miles
Of track were completed from january /
10 June 20. The track laid during the tirst
six months OF 1905 aggregates 22eS miles,
according to the returns In hand, and the
indications are that the new mileage for
the entire year will exceed that for 1902
and 1905 when 5,6e4 miles and 51S6 miles
respectively, were completed.
In It's issue OF March % last the Railway
Age published a summary showing that
over 1900 miles Of new railroad were un-
der construction, and since that time con-
tracts for many hundred miles additional
have been awarded. Construction is being
pushed in all sections OF the country, but
grading has taken up good portion OF
the first six months OF the year-par-
ticularly in the north and NORTHUMBERLAND
the traoklaying stage has not yet been
extensions On other lines slow progress
Is being made in the work Of putting down
the track owing to the difficulty of secur-
ing rails. The steel mills are overcrowded
with orders and the delay in making de-
uveries is obstructing the work in various
localities. Ofhcial reports indicate that the
grading on many new lines is completed
far ahead OF the tracklayers, but this
work also is being retarded owing to the
trouble OF securing labor.

on 1S3 lines In thirty-nine states and

1t will be seen that the track laid thus
far this year exceeds by LOLA miles the new
track for the first half of 1906, but the per-
centage for the first six months was I'M
usually small last year. and 1t is not to be
expected that the same ratio will be main
tained this year for that would mean that
over 1000 miles of track must be completed
between now and January /. II seems GER
tain that the new mileage for the twelve
months of 1906 will exceed that for the
year 1905, when 5000 miles were completed.
Only the scarcity of labor and the difficulty
OF securing track material will prevent such
a result.

This state is as naturally and nor
