AWFUL DEED OF MANIAC.
Girl Shoots Mother, Tries to XIII
Father, Then Ends Her own Life.

Chicago.-Miss Phillanen SwinDen,
crazed by love, arose from her
bed at , o'clock in her home
1O1 Pierce street, walked to he
mothers bedroom and shot her
dead. fired two shots at her father.
Joseph T. Swimmer, as he fled, aroused
by the shots, and then killed herself
with the two remaining bullets.
The powder set the dying girls
clothing aire, and as she rolled on
the floor in her last agony, she set the
building afire.
The girls alteration is said to have
been caused by a love affair which
ended sadly a year ago, when she was
declared insane and committed to
Dunning. Her father secured her re-
lease and was her bondsman.
The parents were asleep when the
girl arose and secured a revolver,
walked to her mothers room and with
out a word fired two shots into her
mothers body, killing her instantly.
The father slept in an adjoining
room Aroused by the shots, he leaped
and ran screaming to the outer door,
clad only in his night clothing.
"You must die" shrieked the
maniac daughter as she leyeled her
weapon at the fleeing man, and fired
two shots at close range Both bull
lets missed their aim, and the father
ran screaming into the darkness with
out. The girl turned, stepped into the
room where her slain mother lay and
deliberately turned her revolver to-
ward her body and fired the re-
naming two bullets into her side.
The shots set her nightrobe afire
and in a moment the entire garment
was blazing. Life still remained in
her and the agony of the blaze caused
the dying girl to arise and run madly
around the room. Every where she
went she set something ablaze. At
last, as the room became entirely en-
veloped in flames, she sank again to
the blazing floor and died. Her
charred body was found less than two
feet from the burned remains of her
murdered mother when the fremen
e|xtinguished the flames.

WAS PUBLICLY

CAPT. DREYFUS

New York, Aug. "A remarkable scene,
closely paralleling that memorable one In

against him, last week fed from an armed

The keen interest with which the un-

OF dramatic intensity when Police Com

presided at the trial, announced I'm voice
choked with emotion that the charge
against the unfortunate man had been
proven.
Then the commissioner turned to In
spector Richard Walsh, in whose district
Stephen Walsh was patrolman, but who
is no relative of the dismissed man. ana
directed the inspector TO strip Walsh OF
his shield and uniform buttons, so that
he might not even leave the trial room
with the emblems OF his former position
as a policeman in good standing on his
person.
The crowd looked on in wonder and
excitement as the inspector advanced to
perform his unpleasant task. The dis
missed man stood stil and offered no re-

his breast, but when the inspector started
to detach the buttons OF the uniform

BOSTON TO GET
AF TER SMOKE
NUISANCE

Boston, Aug. 2.--The railroad COM
missioners today appointed Winfield L.
Larry OF Taunton. who has held the
position Of master mechanic OF the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, as special Inspector for the
purpose OF investigating the conditions
In the locomotive departments of the
state railroads and especially with re-
gard to finding remedy for the smoke
nuisance
The board today made public the
results OF two months investigation
OF the smoke nuisance on railroads.
and reaches the conclusion that soft
coal is necessary, and that much of
the complaint is due TO the lack OF
enforcement Of rules relative TO good
firing. The board predicts that Boston
may see great reduction in smoke
from railroads through the electrifica-
ton which seems not far off.
At the opening OF the report the
board states that the smoke from loco
motives is an exasperating feature OF
railroad operation and n great annoy
ance TO people and injury TO property
along the lines OF railroads, and that
the nuisance demands attention. II
is apparently conceded that soft coal
OF high grade is the fuel best adapted
to moving fast and heavy trains, for
IL hard coal was as efficient the de-
mand for IL for other needs would
soon exhaust the supply.
Repeated failures have created ,scep-
ticisrn as to the success OF satisfactory
! smoke-consuming devices. the board
states, but the efforts in this line
should not be abandoned.
The boards conclusions are that the
electrifcation of railroads is not far
off, and II is not unlikely that Boston
will see the Introduction OF such SER
vice within a reasonably short time.
and this will reduce the cause for COM
plant against the smoke. II is ad-
mitted that laws and ordinances pro-
hibiting the use of soft coal are open
to criticism and are difficult OF en-
forcement.
1t is found to be the opinion of ex-
perts that the issuance OF dense clouds
OF smoke Is unnecessary and that the
enforcement OF rules to secure good
firing with proper quality OF soft
coal will reduce the output of smoke
and remove all reasonable grounds of
complaint. In conclusion the board be-
lieves that such rules should be given
immediate and complete tests.
During the hearings of several
smoke-nuisance bills that were before
the legislature this year II was stated
that tho smoke nuisance on the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad had increased
since its lease TO the New York Cen
trail. The board finds that such increase
has been due the movement
heavier and faster trains, and that II
has not been greater than on other
roads.

Smart Gloves

Very smart English chamois gloves In
natural shades and in fawn and light
grays. made elbow length, are worn with
smart tailor frocks and with morning mus
lins and linens. Some osGohem instead of
being buttoned are given shape at the
wrist by bands of stitched channels which
clasp over from side 10 side. They are
Tar natter than the buttoned ones and
are just as cheap.
Another novelty in gloves Is a biscuit
colored suede elbow glove turned up at
the top with a contrasting shade such as
wine or green or blue. TO be worn with
frocks to match the turned up part.
these parts are by no means cuffs. the
effect being that the glove has been turn

VALUE OF PEARLS
TAKE BIG JUMP

A good deal has been said about the
high prices at recent sale of jevelry in
auction rooms and surprise has been ex-
pressed that one pearl necklace alone
should have sold for f6S00
A representative of the Tribune had an
interview on the subject yesterday with
A. G.. Maginnis. joint managing director
OF n goldsmths and silveNmiths COM
pany. Mr.. Maginnis said that esSOO was
by no means an exceptional sum for a
pearl necklace. 81 have had the identi-
cal necklace in my hand this morning"
he continued, "and certainly do no think
IL was dear at the price. But he have
in stock here a number which are far
more valuable. At the Paris exhibition OF
1900 we had white pearl necklace on
show, the price of which was f90,O
Such prices as G25,00O, 10000 and 900
are not at all uncommon.
"The reason that pearls bring In such
enormous prices Is that fine specimens are
scarce. First, they must be perfectly
round, then they must match Not one
In a thousand Is perfectly round. Then
necklaces are usually made so that the
pearls are large in front and taper Off
gradually at the back. This adds TO the
difficulty OF matching them. To make up
a really we'll matched necklace may take
years.
Undoubtedly the price has gone UP
during the last ten years. and Il is still
going UP. This is due partly to an In
crea sed demand. Then the company
which took over the Ceylon pearl fisher
les about n year ago Is closing them
down for n months. to enable the oysters
TO recuperate. Therefore. during the
next year or so very few new pearls will
come into the market. et."-Exchange.
