President intends to urge upon Con

MAN DETERMINED
To COMMIT SUICIDE
Took VarboIiC Acid and Then
SIashed Throat.

Danville, Ky, March 21.-The most
remarkable record of human endur-
ance known TO the medical profession
was demonstrated here yesterday in
the case of George Tompkins, city
mail carrier, who had lost his posi-
tion as the result of insubOrdination.
He became despondent over the loss
of his position and two days ago swal-
lowed an ounce of carbolic acid.
His family summoned a physician,
who arrived an hour later and pumped
the fiery dose from his stomach While
unguarded he arose from the bed after
the physicians had retired, secured a
razor and slashed his throat, severing
the wind-pipe. In this condition he
lived "a hours before death visited
him.
Old physicians declare this is the
most remarkable instance of vitality
on record.

Dove WELCOMED BACK
BY RAILROAD MEN
Pilots Trains Between Two
Connecticut Towns and
To Safety.

Waterbury, Conn, March 21.-A
brown tumbler pigeon. the property Of
Ira MetCalf of East Hampton, which
has won fame through following trains
on the air line. apparently reveling in
locomotive smoke. has again resumed
her strange antics, after months OF
ietharey. ~a@>
There were no collisions for months
while the dove cut aerial capers, and
all the trainmen are glad to welcome
her back in the belief that accidents
will be less frequent and good luck
will follow the bird of peace.
Even at down grades and running at
sixty miles an hour the dove seems
always to keep ahead of the trains
from East Hampton to Winchester.
Once a hawk tried to catch her, but
she performed some falling and twist
ing eyrations in midair and fooled the
pursuer. Yet John Burroughs says
that birds and animals don't reason.

Placed on a Paying Basis.
NEEDS OF THE ROAD
SET FORTH IN DETAIL.
Rolling Stock and Roadbed Is
In Need of Repair and With

in indianapolis a petition for permis-
sion 10 issue receivers certificates in
the sum of s1,5OO,OOO. Judge Ander-
son issued an order making April Is

In his petition, filed by his attor-
neys, Miller, Shirley & Miller, Good

make needed improvements. With the
amount asked. he says. he can put the
road into such shape that it Will sell

condition is, in general, good, the re-
ceiver says, the road has never be ell
fully completed or equipped. 1t needs

be put in at Cincinnati and other

put in at Richmond and Brighton :;
many other improvements must be
made. About 100000 to 100000
would cover them, he thinks.
Better Day Coaches Needed.
Whereas, says the receiver a good
night business is done between Gin
cinnati and Chicago. with the Pull
man cars, the day business is bad be-
cause of the poor day coaches. He
thinks 100000 worth of parlor cars,
cafe cars and day coaches would help.
Freight cars are likewise needed
not less than S31H.OOO to S4OO.0GO
worth. There are charges against the
road by other roads for handling the
c., c. * l.. cars, which. if not paid
will result in the company being shut
off from communication with other
roads. There are claims for labor
material and supplies to pay.

( be possible. within reasonably short
time. to earn not only enough for oper-
ating expenses. but enough TO enable
the road to meet all fixed charges out
