DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

DIR. George Murray Stuart, one OF
the most prominent young physicians
OF the fashionable East Liberty district
Of Pittsburg, Pa, was found shot dead
in his apartments last night, and beside
him lay the body OF Edna Wallace, a
middle-aged woman.
A shot through her right temple was
apparently self-inficted, after she had
shot and killed the doctor. A revolver
lying by the woman's side strengthens
the belief Of the police IN this theory.
The double killing comes almost on
the eve OF DR., Stuart's marriage to a
Virginia belle The police believe that
jealousy Of the doctors coming mar
riage prompted the double tragedy.
The woman's body was removed to the
morgue and that of the young physi-
clan was turned over to an undertaken.
The police believe the shooting Oc-
CURED late Sunday night or early yes
terday morning.
DR.. Stuart was graduate of the Col
Iege Of Physicians and Surgeons, OF
Baltimore. He was but 81 years old,
and had been in practice in Pittsburg
but three years. He is said to have
come from a prominent family at Win
chester. Va.

The Charlton Case.

New York, Aug. 2.-The 40 days
allowed the Italian government under
the treaty with the United States, to
make formal demand for the custody
of Porter Charlton, held in the Jersey
City Jail for the murder Of his wife,
Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton, in
Italy, will expire at midnight.
No such request has been received
by the officials Of the State Department
in Washington, and it is believed that
none will be. The interest of the
United State government in the case
dies with the expiration of the 40 days,
and the unusual situation confronts the
officials Of a confessed murderer being
held without legal process.
Three courses are open to the attor-
neys retained by Judge Charlton, father
of Porter. The first is simply to de-
mand that the youth be released, there
being no legal charge against him. The
second is to ask a writ OF habeas corpus
to secure his release.
He third is the institution OF insanity
proceedings. Which of these three
courses will be adopted by the attorneys
is not known. but it is rumored that
Judge Charlton will either ask that his
son be sent to a state institution for the
insane, or delivered to him for confine-
ment in private mad house.

Iowa Republicans.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug 2.-Delegates
to the republican convention, which
will meet here tomorrow, are talking
little else than platform. The progress
siyes remain in control of the resolu-
tons committee today by the selection
of George NJ. Curtis, of Clinton, as a
member OF that committee. Progress
siyes say the Taft administration will
be Endorsed for its good intention"
only, and the insurgents leaders, Sen
ators Cummins andDoliyer and theCOn-
gressmen will be endorsed for their
fight in Congress for progressive meas
ures.
The liquor question may be ignored,
although it is a big issue in the demo
cratic platform. Although Gov p. f.
Carroll is under Indictment for criminal
libel. the state administration will
probably be endorsed without the use
of names.
The standpatters are holding con-
ference today to outline their fight on
progressive resolutions. Particularly
do they want strong endorsement OF
President Taft.

$3.50 COLD PIECES.

The Treasury Department has de-
cided to coin no more $3.50 gold pieces
this year Commercially the coin is
said to have very little value, and it is
only about Christmas time that it comes
into real use. Being the smallest gold
coin in circulation, it is taken up at
that time for Christmas presents, gen
orally coming back again to the treas
ury within few weeks.
In fact, il Congress would give its
consent, the Treasury Department
would be glad TO abolish the coin alto
gether At present there are about
81, 800, 600 of these coins in the treasury,
sub-treasuries and minis of the govern
ment, with no demand for them from
any quarter. As the annual gold coin
age Of the government, is about 800,
600, 600 a year. the determination not
to coin 81. so gold pieces will have no
appreciable effect on the amount OF
new gold money to be put into circula-
ton this year.

WIRELESS TEIEGRAPHY.

The utility Of wireless telegraphy is
becoming more and more apparent.
The wireless, since the late eos, when
GugIielmo Marconi perfected it, has
worked marvels. The following is a

insurgency VS.. standpatIsm.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 2.-Despite
heavy rains, almost a cloudburst in
some sections of the state, indications
are that the heaviest vote in the history
Of Kansas will be polled today at the
primary elections.
Estimates are that the total vote will
reach $50, 900 or about 5000 more than
two years ago. insurgency VS.. stand
patism" is the only question in the
contest.
While it is the possible belief that
Governor Stubs, insurgent, will be re-
nominated, his own supporters are not
claiming an overwhelming victory. Tom
Wagstaff. standpat candidate, has made
a phenomenal campaign, and although
it is not thought he will take the nomi-
nationyi it is admitted Stubs plurality

Electric Cars OH southern.

Greenville, S. c., Aug. 2(SpeciaD-
Electric motor car service without the
use of trolley wires or the third rail
attachment is now being given on the
line Of the Southern Railway and the
Blue Ridge Railway between Greenyille
and Anderson, the intermediate ter
ritory being perhaps the most thickly
settled milling section in the south,
including the important points, Pied
mont. Pelzer, WILLIAMSON, and Bolton.
Onlv one motor ear is now operated
and two round trips a day are made.
Though large number OF stops are
made the car has no trouble in making
the scheduled time. The car now in
use is the property OF the General
Electric Company and will be used
until two ears being built by that com
pany especially for the Southern Rail
way are delivered. The new ears will
provide seats for 81 passengers. The
car is run'by electricity generated by a
gasoline engine. The powerful ma
chinery is compactly placed in the for
ward end. 1t is easily manipulated
and the car is handled with perfect
ease. The greatest interest is felt
throughout this section in the motor
car and it is crowded every trip. The
first day it was greeted by great crowds
at every station At one place a citizen
was so anxious to get a view that he
left the BARRIERS chair running to the
station with his face covered with lather.
The new service is in addition to the
steam trains run between Greenvllle
and Anderson and is expected to prove
great convenience. The operation OF
these cars, the first Of their kind in the
south, will be watched with great
interest

THE POPE FIRM.
The CarIIsts' Threat-Believed Anti
CIericais VIII Win.

Rome. Aug. I'm the hope that
King Alfonso, Of Spain, will eventually
be forced by public opinion to dismiss
Premier Canalejas and appoint pro-
clerical to the post, the pope is semi
officially reported today to be turning
a deaf ear TO the appeals of majority
of the cardinals for less antagonistic
course toward the Spanish government.
The pope is believed by many to be
too much under the influence of incau-
tious advisers, and he is being urged to
make sweeping changes in his official
family. There are no indications, how
ever, of Plus yielding.
Dispatches from Madrid say the
oyerthrowing Of the anti-clericals is inn
possible at the present time, though
there is the strongest prospect that they
will win only after bitter fight. The
Carlists and Independent clericals have
formed an alliance and today they sent
the following warning to Canalejas
1--WE are determined to use every
meons to effect your overthrow without
regard for the consequences.
While this threat breathes the spirit
of civil war, it is known that the vati-
can officials have received private adj
vices from Spain that the clericals, even
though supported by a large number OF
the people, are in no position to engage
in war with the government. These
dispatches have said plainly that Al
fonso's position has been greatly
strengthened by the events OF the last
few DAYS.

-The Murder Of pr. STUART.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2-'That Edna Wal

quented by many OF Pittsburg's million
aires. murdered DIR. George Murray
Stuart, society physician, and then
committed suicide, because she learned
Stuart was shortly TO marry Win
chester, Va, girl, after he had promis-
ed to we'd the Wallace woman in Sep
TENDER, is the theory of the police to-
day. Stuart and the Wallace woman
we're found dead in the physician s
palatial home, he with two bullet holes
ia his back and she with her brains
blown out.
The discovery of the bodies, some
four days after the killing, was the re-
suit of letter from the woman to At
torney NJ. i. Thompson, enclosing her
will and telling him that il she we're
not seen Wednesday night she would
never be seen again. Thompson knew
the woman was acquainted with Stuart
and he investigated, breaking into
Stuart's house. The police after prob
ing the case, say that Stuart had
promised TO marry Alice Pauline
Simpson, OF Laws, Va, and that the
woman. enraged at the discovery that
he was to marry another, shot him and
then herself.
Stuart's wedding garments were
found torn to ribbons in the room with
the bodies.
Stuart was to have married Miss Alice
Pauline Simpson, OF Laws, Va, and
the wedding invitations were received
here shortly before the discovery OF the
crime. The couple was to have been
married at Rockland, Va. Stuart had
already packed his clothing, preparing
to leave here Thursday.
According to inmates Of the Wallace
woman's resort, she had planned to
marry Stuart in September, and to give
UP her place and the life she had been
leading. She had already arranged to
dispose OF her house, and had prepared
an elaborate trOuSseau, her companions
say. An anonymous letter informed
her Of the impending marriage OF
Stuart and since its receipt she had
been melancholy and depressed.

Lepine is taking every possible pre-
caution today to guard the lives Of
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria,
when they arrive in Paris tonight, en-
route to England. The royal pair
reached Rambouillet today, where they
we're the guests Of President Fallicrcs al
luncheon. They will leave Ramboulllet
late this afternoon and will stop at the
Hotel Meurice until Wednesday even
ing.
Paris is alive with Spanish refugees
who we're turned back from their in
tended invasion OF Spain on last FRI
day by an unexpected show of military
strength. 1t is expected that some of
these may make an attempt on the life
of Alfonso, and he and his queen will
be literally surrounded by police and
soldiers during every hour OF their stay
in Paris. The railway station will be
cleared on the arrival and departure Of
Alfonso.

probation throughout the state. Com
paratiyely young, with all the Unborn

aud with actual legislative experience
almost from the time he passed out of

service in the general assembly Of his

future senatorial career. Nearly all the
newspapers of Virginia affirm Govern
or Mann's action in appointing Mr..

his spurs, and it is generally agreed
that the toga has been placed upon a
capable man.

Quebec. Aug. 2--That Miss Ethel
Clare Laneve will be the chief witness
for the crown against DR. ii. II. Grip
pen for the murder of Belle Elmore,
his wife, when the American dentist is
placed on trial in London, is the grow
ing conviction Of those who have watch
ed the recent developments in the case
The police are today using every
means at hand to have the girl break
down and tell her story. Third degree
methods are tabooed, and it is by kind
ness that the police hope to secure from
Miss Lenese the story of the murder
and the flight across the sea. While
the police do not believe Miss Leneve
had an actual hand in the murder Of
Mrs. Crippen, they do believe she is in
possession Of the details of the crime.
Instead of keeping her prisoner in
solitary confinement in a dingy cell in
the Parliament prison, Miss Leneve is
being treated as a guest in the home
Of Police Chief Mccarthy. She has a
room to herself and is practically free
from surveillance, though she could
hardly make her escape.
Cable messages from her father,
urging ner to tell all, are said to have
influenced the girl greatly.
Crippen is still beng kept in cell
and no one is allowed to talk to him.
Outsiders are not allowed to see Miss
Leneye.
