WILL GO TO ASYLUM.
ms RE8ECCA GRAFr HD
By A JURY.
Physicians sad Others state That she
Has Been Of unsound mind
For Many Years Past.

The case of Mrs. Rebeccs Graf.
charged with burning a barn on the
farm belonging 10 the estate of the
late Thomas Turner, was called in
the Circuit court before a jury this
morning. Prosecuting Attorney Noll
explained to the jury that the issue
was whether the unfortunate woman
was insane at the time the barn was
burned, and whether she is insane at
the present time. and that if she was
so declared, no criminal prosecution
could be held under the indictment,
bat that she would be sent to the asy.
lum for the insane.
The witnesses called were DR.. Ell
Strobe and DR.. Lemaster. both of.
whom have known Mrs. Geaff fot
many years, and who testified that
she is now of unsound mind. and has
been in that condition for years. They
also stated that she has been growing
steadily worse for several years, and,
in their opinion. was an unsafe person
to be at large. Their evidence was
c~orroborated BY County Commissioners
Lemen, William Bender and Clinton
Welsh, all of whom had known her
for wears.
The jury therefore rendered a YER
dict that Mrs. Graf is now of I'M
| sOund mind and WAS of uusaund mind
at the time the barn WAS burned. The
criminal prosecution was dismissed,
and the court will send the ~unfortu-
nate woman TO the asylum. She is
approaching so years OF age, and pre-
sented a pathetic figure as she sat in
conrt, bowed with age and with the
prospect of ending her days in an in
sane ASYLUM before her.

That was the substance of the work

Wednesday night. and it required but
Ia few minutes to complete the work
Eand adjourn. There wasn't a very

Ia %foregone conclusion that Mr.. Har.

ballot, this being made certain by the
fact that a big majorityj of the dele
gates from the five wards had been Sc

him, although in no instance as any

HARDWARE STORE ROBBED.
MR. "a. =. CUsHwA AGAIN RAG VIC
TIM OF THIEVES.
About 20 Revoivers, voIued at 5000,
Taken From the PIsce-Got I'm
Through Front fndow.

A very bold piece of work was
carried to a successful conclusion by
unknown parties Wednesday night,
when the hardware store of Mr.. II. S.
Cushwa was entered and robbed of a
case of reviewers, about 20 in all,
valued at about $500. The burglary
was an exceedingly audacious one
from the fact that the thieves operat-
ed from the front of the store, with
the chance of detection by any one
who might pass, but the every
boldness of the burglars probably
hepled them to ACCOMPLISH their
object.
The thieves first attacked the front
door, wrenching off the paddock.
Failing to open the lock on the
interior of the door. the burglars then
turned their attention to one of the
show windows, cutting a piece from
the glass large enough to admit a
man. After 8 curing their plumber
the men opened the froat door and
made off.
This is tho second time this store
has beer robbed during the past year.
The first time the robbers were
caught and most of the goods ecover-
ed. The revolyers stolen included
several fine guns, and the only ones
not taken were a few cheap ones.
There is no clue.

Of the supreme Court.

The Baltimore and Ohio 10 longer

has any voice in the management OF
the big coal corporation. a deal hay-
ing been perfected by which a syndi-
cate acquires the holdings of the rail-
road in the coal company. Announce
ment of the consummation of the deal
which is one of the most important in
the soft coal business in the history of
the country, was made after a special
meeting of the directors of the Consol-
idation Coal Go.
At this meeting the formal resigna-
tions of Messrs. Oscar G.. Murray,
George +. Randolph and Hugh L
Bond, jr., were offered and accepted.
Mr.. Murray is president; Mr.. Ran
dolph and Mr.. Bond are vice-presi-
dents of the Baltimore and Ohio.
The explanation for these resigna-
lions is in the statement made bv Mr..
&c. W. Watson, president of the Con-
s%olidation Coal Co. Mr.. Watson stated
purchased the entire holdings of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Go. in
the stock of the Consolidation Coal
Co., and has arranged to form a syn
dictate, to be called the Baltimore syn
dictate, to handle this purchase.
The agreement of purchase owe

solicitation Coal Co. being about 53 per
cent. OIL q majority, of the entire cap
ital stock of $40. $50, 900. The deal in
wolves about So, 900, 600. This agree
ment was made on April 26 last, and
the stock is now being tran ferred to
the purchasing syndicate. Control of
the Consolidation Coal Co. carries
| with it the control OF large mining
! corporations in the best-knawn soft
coal regions of this country. aud, in
| addition, extensive distributing COM
panles in the leading markets of the
| east and the west. The magnitude of
the properties controlled by the Con-
snlidation Coal Go may be appreci-
ated when il is stated that the aQgre-
gate out put of coal is over ten mil
lion tons a year, and the coal lands
owned over two hundred thousand
acres.
Ia addition the purchase also carries
with it the control of the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania Railroad Co., the
railroad which is the back bone of the
famous Georges Greek development
in Maryland
The sale of its Consolidation stock
BY the Baltimore and Ohio seems the
first big result of the investigation
which is now being made bv the in
terstate commerce commission under
authority from congress into the rela-
lions existing between the coal carry
ing railroads and the companies hav-
ing mines on their lines. What prob
ably influenced the company chiefly,
however, was the decision of the SUI
preme court on February 10 last which
held that railroads cannot deal in
commodities which they haul over
their lines. The court rendered the
decision; the commission obtained
evidence showing that the railroad
was practically doing that which the
decision forbade.
