Drunken Brute Beat Her So Badly
That She Died.
Baltimore, Md, April 9.-Because
his 9-year-old son Thomas did not cook
a meal quickly enough to please him,
John T. Kennedy created a disturb
ance that attracted his sick wife from
her bedroom to the kitchen Of their
home in a tenement house. A fight
ensued between the man and his wife,
in which the latter was so badly
beaten that she died. soon afterward.
A neighbor, summoned by the child,
found the mother still alive, but un-
conscious, and placed her on a couch,
beside which Kennedy lay down and
went to sleep. The police heard moth
ing of the affair for more than five
hours, when officers went to the house
and found Kennedy still asleep beside
the corpse. He made a statement to
the officials, in which he acknowledged
having beaten his wife while intoxi-
Gated, but said that he did not think
he was striking her hard enough to
kill her.

Philadelphia, April 11.-That the bi-
luminous coal traffic is divided among
six railroad companies was developed
at the first hearing of the interstate

which is transported over their lines.
The principal witnesses were Upton
H. White, statistician of the Tidewa-
ter Steam and Bituminous Coal Traf-
fc Association; w. W. Atterbury, gen.
eral manager of the Pennsylvania rail-
road; Joseph G. Searles, traffic man
ager of the same company, and Theo-
dore Voorhees,, vice president Of the

that the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany. the Reading Railroad company,

the Norfolk & Western Railroad com
panies are members of the Tidewater
Steam Bituminous Coal Traffic Asso-
citation, which was organized in 1896
The members of the association were
shown to have an agreement by which
each is allotted a certain percentage
of the soft coal tonnage. It is the duty
of Mr.. White to compute the per-
centage of coal carried by each com
pany and to make a monthly report
of the same. The documentary evil
dence produced at the request of the
commission included the bylaws of
the association.

He added:
 T cannot agree that Russia's re verses have minimized the. danger on the frontier for all time. am afraid that we shall be much more impelled to consider the effect those reverses will have on the pride of high spirited race. In time Russia will feel competent to recover her lost pres, tige, and the price now paid for our army is a premium for the insurance of India" ~9
