BE EXAMINED.

Before the new year sets in another i'm
portant inquiry will be carried on by the
interstate commerce commission with a
view of finding out If the Hartman rail-
road system is a combination organized
for the restraint of trade. The commits
sion was first moved to order the investiea-
ton by a number of complaints Of various
nature against the Hartman lines The
hearings will be held at New York, Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake
City, Omaha and San Francisco.
The formal statement just issued by the
commission shows that the preliminary
steps incidental to the investigation have
already been taken. Attorneys have been
retained and arrangements made for be-
ginning the hearings later in the MONTH
the exact date of which has not been set
tied. Chairman Knapp estimates it will
take at leas. sixty days to complete the
investigation. The statement is as follows:
The interstate commerce commission
has today ordered an investigation of the
relations between the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railway systems growing
out of their common management and con-
troll. Frank B. Kellogg and c. A. Severance
of st. Paul have been retained to take
charge of the investigation, which will ex-
tend from New York to San Francisco
A conference was held today between the
commission and counsel, at which the gem
eral subject was fully considered, but dates
for hearings and other details have not
yet been determined"

GILLETTE Is COOL.
Says He Has No idea of Committing
Suicide.


Suicide.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
HERKIMER, December 7.-Chester Gil
lette, awaiting sentence of death on Monday
for the murder of Grace Brown. assured
Under Sheriff Klock and Turnkey Evans
today that they need have no fear that he
will attempt suicide, and that precautions
against Such an attempt were needless. A
guard is kept constantly at his side in the
corridor and at night there are two officers
on guard.
The guards do not enter Gillette's cell
except to perform some duty or at the re-
quest of the prisoner. He seems to enjoy
their company, and frequently plays cards
with them. Today Under Sheriff Klock
played several games of "seven-up' with
him.
The story of Gillette's alleged CONGESTION
to visitor, said to have been overheard in
the Jail by Sheriff Richards and Turnkey
Evans, to the effect that when Grace
Brown came up beside the boat in the wa
tiers of South bay he struck her on the head
with his tennis racquet has not yet been
absolutely confirmed. but one Of the sher-
ifs officers intimated very strongly to-
day that the story was true, and that the
sheriff had stated that the thing occurred
substantially as reported.
1t is reported that one of the grounds
upon which counsel for Gillette will seek
to have the verdict set aside has to do with
a letter received by one Of the jurors from
his wife during the trial. 1t Is said that she
wrote that IL he did not vote to convict the
defendant she would never speak to him
again, and that the juryman said In his
letter in reply that he could gladly strange
Gillette in the court room. None of the Of
ficers know Of any such letter, although
they say that this juryman and one other
received many letters during the trial.

known as Rip Raps and located In the
lower Chesapeake bay just short distance
off Old Point, today about 1870 o'clock. AS
there is no communication whatever be-
tween the fort and the shore except by

Fort Monroe, and Major Strong organized
a bucket brigade of about a hundred men
from the fort and went to the assistance Of
those on the island They boarded the
army tug Reno and were landed within
few minutes after the fire was discovered
from the shore. The extent of the fire is
not known on shore at this time.
One of the oldest buildings on the island
is seen to be in flames and seems doomed
to destruction. The fremen are endeavor-
ing to prevent the spread of the flames to
the barracks and magazine. The Reno
carried with her in addition to her regular
fre-fighting apparatus several reels of hose
from Fort Monroe and these were landed
and are being used by the fire fighters.
Several hundred guests at the Chamber
lin Hotel are congregated on the terrace
and balconies of the hotel watching the

She said she loved the pretty birds,
The warblers sent by heaven
To cheer along the world with song
Soothe hearts by sorrow riven.
Their every note thrilled all her soul
With sweet, ecstatic culver,
And oft she d feel like she should kneel
And thank the gracious giver
Of every good and perfect gift
Who set the first sweet bird adrift
She said she loved the feathered throng
That filed the earth with pleasure,
Whose piped refrains in joyous strains
Gave gladness without measure,
And one could read within her eyes
And animated features
Her love for these gems of the trees
The sweetest of Gods creatures
A love that was 30 fervent that
She wore one on her new spring hat.
