Bride Dies of Poison.

Mary Childers, bride of only six
months. is dead at Americas, Ca, as
the result of strychnine being placed
in bottle of headache powders which
she kept on the dresser in her room
at the hotel, and r. c. Kennedy, a
prominent young man, is under arrest,
charged with her death.
Revenge is the motive which is said
to have inspired Kennedy. Mrs. Chill
ders before her marriage was known
as abe most beautiful girl in this Sec
tion of the state, and Childers and
Kennedy were rivals for her hand.
For some time sheshowed no differ
ence in her treatment of the two young
men, but six months ago she suddenly
married Childers. Kennedy was deeply
angered, and it is alleged that he made
threats that he would be revenged.
The theory of the officers is thai

Girl Becomes Insane at Funeral. !,

Girl Becomes Insane at FuneraI.t
Myrtle Smith, the pretty and you n
full sister of the lad who was murder ed
in an Italian shoemaker's shop las;
Sunday, the place afterwards being
set on fire to hide the crime-went
mad at Mount OliYet cemetery, in
Washington, when the body of the lit
tie victim was being lowered into the
grave.
She became violently hysterical and
tried to jump into the grave on top
of the coffin. 1t required four men to
restrain her maniacal strength, and
finally it became necessary to bind her
hands and feet securely with the
strong webbing which should have
been used to lower the coffin, and
Opiates. Then the girl was taken 20
the Washington Insane asylum, where
her reason is said to be gone. She lies
on a cot not hundred yards from the
cell in which Tony Malino, the shoe
maker by trade" in whose shop little
Harry Smith was brutally beaten to
death with steel hammer, is confined
on a charge of murder.
Physicians at the hospital say that
the young woman is in a serious con
dition and that her reason may never
be restored, even if her life is saved.
The murder of little Harry Smith
was one of the most brutal crimes in
the police history of the national capi
tai. AT the inquest which held MalinC
for the crime the theory developed
that the Italian, who had long Geer
the butt of the mischievous boys of the
neighborhoOd, thought the Smith boy
who suffered, was trying to mocl
him and killed the lad in a fit of rage.

Held Police at Bay; Kills Self.

Held Police at Bay; Kills Self.
Because fellow boarders tauntel
him that he was stuck up because he
washed up in his room instead of in
the kitchen of the boarding house at
Mount Carmel, Pa, Alex Kaulic, aged
twenty-five years, went out, got two re-
volvers and came back and fired at
the boarders.
One bullet struck William Mafeski
in the stomach, infiicting a wound that
may prove fatal. He then ran to his
room and barricaded the doors. The
police came, but he fired on them aad
drove them away. He held his position
against all comers for five hours. Bv
this time the entire town was in n
state of great excitement
Kaulic fired on everybody who at
tempted to dislodge him. Finally Ser
geant Walter Snyder and Private
Hyde, of the state police, stationed al
Shamokin, were summoned. When
they arrived on the scene Kaulic had
just driven back a constable who at
tempted to fire upon him from an ad
joining house.
The two policemen managed to get
into the house and were going up the
steps to the room, when they heard a
shot. Snyder burst open the door of
the room, to find Kaulic lying on a
couch with a bullet hole in his tenn.
pie. He had buckled an old sword
that he used while in the Hungarian
army around his waist and had an
extra revolver stuck in the belt.

Changes Name to Please Bride.

Oscar Schweitzer received permis-
sion from Justice Delahanty in New
York to change his name to Webber.
Oscar did not like the old name be-
cause it bore a close resemblance to
the name of "a well known food pro-
duct"
The girl he intends to marry did
not like it, either, and Schweitzer said
he thought his business and social
chances would be greatly improved by
a change.

New Low Records for Wabash Stocks Has Little
Effect on the Market in General

New York, Dec. 5.-Following the ex-
ample set by Erie few years ago the
Wabash Railroad Company to-day went
into unofficial receivership. Official an
nouncement was made that the road
would be reorganized. Committees, di-
rectors, and bankers were named for
that purpose, securities of the companies
collapsed in the market and the COM
pany moved rapidly out OF its position as
a disturber of the general market. New
low records were made for Wabash
stocks, but the general market yielded
but slightly. Strength of the other stocks
was, perhaps, due to the fact that Presi-
dent Tafts message made its official ap-
pearance, and reassured those few per-
sons who did not see it last week.
Trading was strictly professional. and
was on a small scale. Transactions, ex-
cept in Wabash, were without Importance
as everybody was holding aloof watch
ing the situation in that company.
The street did not fail to notice that the
plan for reorganizing Wabash is simply
another formal expression of the distrust
in which high finance holds the courts.
The courts have their clutches on Wheel

Motor delivery wagons ranging in ca
pacity from 500 pounds to l,5OO pounds
and light power trucks of one ton and
one and one-half tons capacity, all de-
signed and built with the object of bring
ing them within the reach of retailers,
small manufacturers, and others doing
a limited business, are engaging the at
tention of majority of the makers Of
commercial motor vehicles this season
These machines, besides being inexpen-
sive, are simple IN construction and eco
nomical in operation and upkeep.
Heretofore the heavy and costly trucks
have occupied the most serious attention
of the engineer and designer, probably
because big manufacturing companies
and department stores have been lead
ers in the adoption of power vehicles.
and their needs were met by the three
ton and five-ton trucks and by electric
delivery wagons.
Successful use of these machinOR by
such prominent concerns for a series Of
years, together with the increasing cost
and difficulty Of maintaining horse serv-
ice, has developed a widespread demand
among smaller companies for machines
of less capacity. Tradesmen in all sorts
OF lines are growing eager to adopt the
quicker and better transfer and delivery
service In Boston, there is a Chinese
laundry, for instance, that uses a motor
wagon.
Simplicity of construction and opera
tion. together with low selling price, will
appeal to hundreds who inspect the new
commercial cars. Machines selling at
from 500 TO 1850 promise 10 be in the
Taajortty, with few models, including.

there would be ten tours awarded to
winners in its voting contest, and the full
quota of the trips are going to be given.
That the active candidate who stays
in the race and works with "a will during
the balance of this week and next has
splendid chance to go to Europe was
the object of The Herald offering this
other trip.
1t is the effort expended in the eleven
days left of the race that will be of the
same benefit as the work done during the
whole previous period.
You Can Lose and still Win.
Rather paradoxical, that statement, but
it is nevertheless true. You can lose the
regular district trip in your district by
not having the highest vote in your own
district, but you may still have made the
biggest gain in the last three weeks Pc
riod and consequently win this extra trip.
The Conditions.
The contestant who has the high
est vote in each district at the close of
the contest December 16 will win the
regular trip for their district.
The contestant who has the highest vote
in the entire contest chooses between a
world tour or two trips to Europe. These
winners of the regular trips have no
concern with this addltlonal TOUR. AFTER
these have been determined, then we
take the list of losers. and the one among
them who has made the largest gain OF
votes between November . at 10 p. m.
and December 16 at 10 p. m. will be de-
clared the winner of the extra trip and
membership in The Herald Mediterranean
party.
One of your competitors may have a
great many more votes than you have
now, he or she may have started in the
race before you did and may be able to
poll a higher total for the whole period
than you are, but you may be able to get
more votes during these last three weeks
than he or she or any one else in the
race, and if so, you win the extra trip.
You win the same prize as these others
who have worked all the whole period of
the contest from the beginning. Isn't it
worth it?
New Contestant In District s.
A new candidate enters the race to-
day in district S, in the person of Frank
L. Hewitt, of Silver Spring, Md. Mr..
Hewitt sarts in with 1900 votes and says
he will have more to follow Shortly.

Wabash needs about $4,000, 900 in actual

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by W. B. HIbbs & Co., men,
bers Of the New York Stock Exchange, Hibbs
Building.
New York. Dec. 5.-Ring traders began hammer
ing cotton options shortly after the beginning Of
trading the cotton exchange to-day, and, aided
BY selling from the South, managed TO depress
prices from to 10 points. The low prices secured
induced short covering by ring traders and q rally
Of from II to Il points followed. All the losses
were wiped out and replaced with net gains Of
from to 5 points. The covering movement in the
afternoon dus to better spot markets than
anticipated earlier in the day, when dispatches
from the South reported easier interior markets
Final prices were the best Of the session.
One disconcerting influence TO the bears was the
heavy sales Of spot cOtOn in Liverpool H. 900 bales
being taken by English spnners at an advance Of 4
points to 5 05d. for middng. British spinners seem
willing to buy cotton at present prices. but Amer
ican spinnerS do not enter the market with the
expectation Of concessions in quotations. but prefer
to wait until the government issues its estimate on
December II Of the crop before making extensive
commitments.
Liverpool futures opened at points advance and
closed steady at gain Of from to s points and
a decline Of from 5 to 81 points.
