FIFTH TRIAL FREES HIM.
School Teacher Richards Acquitted of
 Killing Rival.

Roanoke, Va, Aug 15.-The fifth trial at Floyd court house of John Richards, the Floyd county school teacher, charged with the murder of his rival in love, Maurice K. Francis of Roanoke, ended yesterday in ac- quittal. The first, second and fourth trials resulted in disagreements. The third trial resulted in conviction of murder in the first degree, and Rich- ards was sentenced to be hanged. The supreme court granted a new trial.
 Francis was killed while on his way to see Miss Oracle Link, his fiancee, to set q date for their wed- ding. Richards had been suitor for her hand, and he was suspected of the killing. Immediately following the end of the third trial of Richards his father, mother and eldest brother died of pneumonia within the period of a week as the result of exposure in at tending the trial. The parents were buried on the same day, but the pris- oner was not allowed to attend the funerals for fear of lynching.

NORTH WILLOW STREET
Warren Bros Will Finish One
 Side and Then Leave it

The paving of North Willow street was held up for couple of hours yesterday morning by City Engineer Cairns. It seems the Warren Bros company which is doing the work started to use a two-inch stone on the foundation but when the en- gineer heard of 1t, he immediately had the work stopped. There was considerable delay and work was not resumed again until the after noon.
 Any one who has been under the impression that North Willow street would be itself again in a short time has another think com ing. It was the general supposition that once the paving was we'll under way 1t would be rushed through in no time. The trolley company hay ing evidently completed its work the people that use North Willow street were well pleased to know that for a long time there would be no more repairing and Improvements that would put the street out of commits sion. But the street is going to be paved by sections. The right side of the thoroughfare is now being paved but after this side is finished the company will pick up it's traps and start on West Main street. Work can not begin on the other side of the street until the trolley company has put in new rails on that side; so there has to be de- lay

WARDWELL AND WIFE DYING.
Death Will Soon Settle the Contro'
 versy Over Their Care.

Bisbee, Ariz, Aug 15.-Colonel David K. Wardwell has only few hours to live. his physicians say. He was unconscious the greater part of yesterday, and in his delirium con- stantly goes over scenes of his cam paigns in the army and calls for Isa- bel, his leper wife, who is still strapped to a bed in an adjoining room. She, in her present condition, cannot last long. She frequently falls into a state of utter collapse from the exertion of her maniacal struggles.
 Supervisor J. w. Bowen yesterday said Cochise county will have to care for the Wardwells. There is no means, he says, of compelling Cali fornia, who sent the couple to Tomb stone, to take them back and care for them. The territorial health au- thorities have also reported to Gov ernor Kibbey that Cochise county will make provision for Colone! Wardwell and his leper wife.
 Last night, according to the word from the county hospital. death will soon put an end to the controversy over their care. Both are past 80.

POLITICIANS HOUND HER.
So Says Mrs Connor. Who Sues Two
 Men for $20. 900 Damages.

Newark, Aug 15.-Suit for s20,00O damages was begun in Newark yes- terday by Mrs Mary A. Connor, IT Bank street, against Justice Henry Bosset and Frederick A. Hobson, the latter her next door nighbor. Mrs Connor alleges that she has been per secuted by a powerful clique of New ark politicians for more than two years.
 She says that at the expense of much money she was compelled to prove in court that she was the legiti- mate daughter of the late Dr Dennis Bowling Mulcahy. Since she estab- lished her legal rights she has been the object of attacks from many sources, she claims. She says she has obtained proof of the origin of an action which resulted in her being made a prisoner and lodged in jail for several days before a locked-up complaint was dismissed. The basis of the complaint on which Miss Con- nor has brought suit was her alleged assault upon the wife of Hobson.

TRYING NEW MOTORS.
Consolidated Using One With Patent
 Leading Trucks.

New Haven. Aug 15.--During the past week the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Go has been experimenting with a new form of motor on its electric di- vision between Stamford and New York
 The new form of the motor con- sists of a pair of leading truck wheels being placed between the front drivers and the forward end of the motor.
 The leading truck wheels are about half the diameter of the driv- CTS and are placed on the motor to reduce the swsying to a minimum.
 After the wreck at Greenwich in which one person was killed. many reports were circulated 10 the effect that the accident was caused by the swaying of the motors while in mo- tion. Apparently the officials of the road are profiting by these rumors and intend 10 remove the danger in this direction if any turks there.
