Discuss HoIIenbeck Park Curve

Park Commissioner William Hum

will try to settle the questions which
have arisen over the request of the
trolley companies to get larger radius
curve for their tracks at Cummings
street opposite Hollenbeck park. The
city will have to donate an eight-foot
corner off the park property in order
to permit of the greater curve, and the
hitch is over the cost of changes to

MERGER is APPROVED.
The Greater Pittsburs Law Is Upheld
by United States Supreme Court.

Washington, d. C.-The suit aris-
ing out of the effort to consolidate
the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny
was decided by the supreme court of
the United States ON Monday in favor
of the consolidation.
Pittsburg, Nov. 19.-The action of
the United States supreme court in
declaring the Greater Pittsburg bill
constitutional was received with en-
thusiasm here. The consolidation
gives the city an area of 3S square
miles and an estimated population Of
$4,000 1t will outrank Cleveland and
Baltimore, giving Boston a close race
for fifth place in size, and will have
the largest tonnage of any city in the
world.
The officials in Allegheny will at
once become deputies to those in
Pittsburg until the next election,
which is in 1909.

A CRASH IN A FOG.
One Man Killed and Four Injured,
Two Probably Fatally.

Steubenville, o. = In a head-on
collision between a freight train
and an engine running light on
the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad,
just south of this city, last night, one
man was killed, two perhaps fatally
injured and two others seriously hurt.
Both engines were wrecked and sew
eral cars splintered.
The dead man is Martin Gilday,
aged 40 years, engineer of Steuben-
vile.
The fatally injured are: Edward
Fahey, conductor, Mingo Junction, O.;
Charles Nieman, brakeman, Steuben-
vile.
The seriously injured are William
Keys, engineer, Steubenville; John
Andrews, fireman, Steubenville.
A misunderstanding on the part of
one of the crews is said to have been
the cause of the accident The two
engines met on a straight track, but
neither could see the others approach.
owing to heavy fog. Keys and An
drews were on the freight train and
saw the light engines headlight in
time to jump. The light engine was
running too fast to give it's crew time
to escape.

CANNOT RECOVER DAMAGES
IN OHIO FOR DEATH ON RAIL
ROAD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Decision In Case with Many
Queer Angles.

Washington, d. C.-In the case
Of Elizabeth M. Chambers VS.. the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad Co. the SUI
preme court of the United States on
Monday held that damages for the
death of citizen of Pennsylvania
caused by railroad in Pennsylvania
cannot be recovered by a citizen of
that state under its laws through an
action brought in the Ohio courts.
Mrs Chambers sought through a suit
In the Mahoning (Ohio) circuit court
to secure an award of damages under
Pennsylvania law for the accidental
killing of her husband in 1902 on a
Baltimore & Ohio train in Pennsyl-
vania, and when the Ohio supreme
court refused to sustain her prayer
she appealed to the federal supreme
court. Justice Moody delivered the
opinion of the court, upholding the
position of the Ohio courts.
The case turned upon the point
whether the decision of the Ohio court
SO operated as to cause a discrimina-
ton against Mrs. Chambers because
she was citizen of another state, and
Justice Moody's opinion was based on
the theory that such is not the result.
Justices Harlan, White and McKenna
united in dissenting opinion. In his
statement Justice Harlan declared
that the decision of the court denies a
fundamental right of citizenship in
that it refuses to grant to citizen of
one state the privilege OF bringing suit
in another state.
He also called attention to another
point in the decision, saying that IL
Mrs. Chambers had been so fortunate
80 -
have been granted a privilege which
was denied her because she had mar
ried Pennsylvania. He thought
this a discrimination not justified un-
der the constitution of the United
States.

THE WARNER MURDER TRIAL.
New Yorker Who Killed Woman and
Man Is Convicted of Second
Degree Murder.

New York City-Frank H. War
ner was last night convicted of MUIR
der in the second degree for the kill
ing of Esther C. Norling July 23 last.
I'm sorry they didn't make it first
degree" was Warmers only comment
when the verdict was returned.
Warner, who had known Miss Nor
ling for some years, went to the store
in which she was employed and shot
her without warning. He escaped into
a large office building and before he
was followed got out through a rear
window. He then went to hat store
owned by John c. Wilson, lifelong
friend, and shot him. Wilson died
soon after. Warner was captured by
truckman armed with cotton hook
as he was leaving Wilson's store.
Patrolman Thomas Walsh was dis
missed from the police force on
charges of cowardice for not following
Warner into the office building after
he shot Miss Norling.
Warmers defense was insanity. He
has not been tried on the indictment
charging the killing of Wilson.

Live Stock Commission Reports.

Columbus, o., Nov 19.-In its re-
port to the governor the Ohio live
stock commission shows that while
Ohio's live stock interests are about
the same as those of New York, the
latter appropriates annually for its
commission $4,000, while Ohio gives
only $4,000, which is not sufficient.
Thirteen dairy herds were tested by
the commission, containing oil ami
mails, and 231a per cent. were found
to have tuberculosis. Rabies in de-
mestic animals is reported on the in
crease. The total value of animals
destroyed as a result of different dis
eases is $20,369, which the legislature
will be asked to pay.

SECRET DRAWERS, GOLD FILLED.
Tarrytown Man Happens on a Fine
Collection of Five Guinea Pieces.

Stories of treasure trove, treasure
islands, gold bugs and secret drawers
and panels are not altogether confined
to the Imagination, as is proved by 81
recent experience of resident Of
Tarrytown.
Some years ago in the division of the,
estate of relative the only thing by
which the Tarrytown man was re-
membered was an unusually heavy
antique mahogany desk, which in due
time was transported to the house Of
the recipient and then passed from ac--
tive notice. In leisure moment q
few days ago the Tarrytown man be-
gan to examine the gift and found
much to admire in it's substantial con-.
structior and fine hand carving. In,
the course of his examination he came.
across not the mere TRADITIONAL single
secret drawer, but several secret.
drawers. What was still more to the,
purpose, each drawer was filled to the
brim with English gold pieces Of the,
largest denominations, and the mys-
terry of the great weight of the desk:
was solved.
Nearly all the coins were of the val
ue of five guineas, which gold piece,
1t may be explained, at rough es-.
innate, is equivalent to more than S26i
and weighs considerably more than,
half again as much as an ordinary sill
yer dollar The most recent of the,
gold pieces were of the period OF
George II. This king was represented
by the five guinea piece in consider
able numbers. Some of the pieces OF
this denomination of George II.
showed the word Lima" under the.
bust on the diverse, which indicated
that they had been struck from gold
captured by English privateers from
Spanish vessels on their way home
from Lima, Peru. Under the bust Of
other five guinea pieces were the let
ters "E. /. c." for the East India.
company, which mark indicated that
the gold had been sent to the English
mint by this company.
There were five guinea pieces Of
George l. The distinguishing mark
on these coins was the figure of an
elephant or of an elephant and cat
tie, to show that the gold had been i'm
ported from the district of Guinea In.
West Africa, from which fact the
term guinea" is derived.
Good Queen Anne was also repre-
sented by five guinea pieces. This es--
Unable lady reigned from 1902 to,
1714, and the gold coins of 1903 show
the word 'Vigo". under the queens,
bust. This word was used to COM
memorate the capture of several Span
ish galleons by the combined English
and Dutch fleets in the latter part of
1902 in Vigo bay, and the gold taken
upon this occasion was used in these
coins.
There We're several of the large
gold coins of William Ill The Oldest.
of the coins found in the desk were
the handsome five guinea pieces of
William and Mary, which showed on.
the diverse the busts of the king and9
queen.
All of the coins had been circulated,
but were still in very fine condition,
and of the $50 large gold pieces con-
tanned in the secret receptacles many
had an excess value on account of
their interest to collectors.
