SPLENDID BED OF
!. GRAVEL IS FOUND
~
On Site of Murray Theater a
Fortunate Discovery
Is Made.
WOULD MEET ALL EXPENSE
1T is STATED THE RECEIPTS
FROM SALE OF GRAVEL WOULD
PAY COST OF CONSTRUCTING
NEW THEArER.

A gravel bank, said to be almost in
xhaustible. has been discovered by
the contractor constructing the MUIR
ray theatre, Tenth and Main streets.
and 1t is estimated by him that there
is enough gravel under the site of the
proposed theater, which. II sold. the re-
ceipts would be sufficient to meet the
cost Of constructing and equipping the
building.
A small strata of gravel was found
within few feet of the surface when
the excavation was being made. but as
it is usual to find a small amound be-
low the subsail, no attention was paid
to 1t. AZ the work on the excavating
continued, another and much better
Strata was found. It is several feet
deep and the grade Of the gravel is OF
the best, in fact equal to that Of the
best banks in this community 1t is
believed by the contractor that the
bank is Of much greater depth than the
excavating and that it covers a large
amount OF territory.
Owing to the discovery. the contrac-
tors will be able to construct the foun-
dation at a much cheaper cost than /;
the gravel had to be purchased and
hauled to the site.

IN NHRCHANGE IS
EFFECTIVE SOON
Operations to BEGIN After the
Publication Of Rates
For 80 Days.
BIG SHIPPERS Benefited
THOSE SHIPPERS WHO HAVE
PRIVATE SWITCHES ON THE
TWO LINES ARE AFFECTED BY
THE IMPROVEMENT.

Within the next two months, the in
terchange of freight between the c.. c.
& L. and the Pennsylvania railroad
companies will be a reality. The
physical connections have been finish
ed for some time, but delay was en-
countered, because no rates had been
established between the two compan-
les. 1t is not generally known that
only those factories with sidings Of
their own will be benefited by the in
terchange
The small shipper will not be bene-
fited by the switch, according to the
statement of one of the officials of the
Pennsylvania. Among those who arc
SO affected are merchants who load
cars at the freight house, or at the reg
ular wagon tracks There are a
large number of local merchants who
favored the switch, but were not &C.
Quainted with this feature. Nearly
all Of the factories of the city have
private sidings, but only a few of the
jobbers and other shippers load from
the wagon tracks," .-
Arrangements are now being made
for meeting of officials of the two
roads to arrange the tariff schedules.
After this has been done, the rates
will have to be published for thirty
consecutive days and also be placed on
file with the interstate commerce COM
mission for an equally long time. This
body passes on the rates.

Aurora. ILL.,, April S.-John Ander
son, aged fifty-one years and insane,
entered the home of Mrs. John Nc
Wicker. while the family was al
breakfast this morning, shot her
through the heart. then shot Mrs.
John Bellford, probably fatally, after
which he committed suicide with the
same weapon.
Anderson gained entrance to the
McVicker home Just as the family sat
down to breakfast. His eyes blazed
and he carried a revolver in either
hand. Walking up to Mrs. McVicker
he cried out. II have come to settle
some old accounts. It's your turn"
Before Mr.. McVicker could rise
from his chair, Anderson began fir
ing. The first shot grazed McVick-
er's head. The second pierced Mrs.
'McVicker's heart. Rising from her
chair the dying woman shielded, with
her body, the form of her little girl,
who was with her, and carried her
into an adjoining bedroom, where four
other babies were sleeping.
Dynamite and Shot Gun.
Anderson followed, but Mrs Nc
vickers dead body fell against the
bed room door and Anderson was un-
able to gain entrance. He then ran
fro mthe house. McVicker followed
Anderson screamed, as he slammed
the door behind him.. that he was go

his house, clothed IL set OF old har-
ness. to which three dynamite bombs
were attached. He also carried a
shotgun. He ran to the home of Mrs.

tered her home by side door as the
maniac broke down the front door,
Cursing Mrs. Bellford and saying that
she had helped. by her gossip with the
neighbors. to make his life unbearable
for him, Anderson forced the woman
ito . wall and fired the contents of
shotgun into her side.
Saves Aged Mother.
Shrieking with mad joy. Anderson
ran through the other rooms, looking
for more victims. A wierd, hideous
idea obsessed his mind that his name
had been associated with scandalous
happenings. A blind aged and help
less woman. the mother Of Mrs. Bell
ford, was asleep on a couch in one of
the rooms. The injured woman flung
herself before the door and saved the
life Of her mother.
; Anderson finally turned the shotgun
on himself and placing the barrel to
his head, pulled the trigger with his
foot.
