WOMAN UNDER SUSPICION.
RumOr that She, Not Mrs. Carman
Fired Fatal Shot.

New York, July 10.-Efforts to
force District Attorney Smith to pro-
ceed with the examination of Mrs.
Florence Carman and other witnesses
before Coroner Norton, Monday, as
originally planned, today marked the
fight which has been started to clear
Mrs. Carman of the charge that it was
her hand which was thrust through
a window of her husbands Office anG
fired the shot which killed Mrs. Lou
Use Bailey.
The newest theory on which the
prosecution is laboring is that another
woman killed Mrs. Bailey, that this
woman is we'll known to the CarTan
family, and that under the cloak Of
closest friendship she coveted the love
Of DR.. Carman.
In fact, Freeport is rent like an old
cloth over the arrest of Mrs. Carman.
People are even going so far ds to
mention a woman's name in their ar
guments that Mrs. Carman was not
the one who murdered Mrs. Bailey.
They are saying that this woman was
madly infatuated with the physician.
1t is said by many that the arrest
of this woman would not cause sur
prise in their minds.
They are even going so far as to
wonder whether this woman will bear
up under the lashings Of her con-
science, so confident are they that Mrs
Carman did not murder Mrs. Bailey.

STRUCK AT CROSSING
Father of Deceased, K F. Roberts,
Met with Similar Fate at Same
f, Place Nearly 80 Years Ago.

The many friends and acquaintances
of James Roberts, an old, well-known
and esteemed resident of Fairfax
County, near this city, were shocked
shortly after noon today to hear that
he had been killed by train at what
is known as Roberts Crossing, about
half mile from this city. The horse
attached to his buggy was also killed
and the vehicle smashed.
Mr.. Roberts was a daily visitor to
Alexandria, where he had been en-
gagged in business many years. About
.11:30 o'clock he left the Office of the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company Of
Fairfax County, northeast corner of
Prince and Royal streets, and started
for his home. He took Duke street
road, over which he had passed for
over threescore years and upon reach
ing the entrance to the road leading
to his residence at the old mill turned
his horses head to the south. When
he reached the railroad tracks at the
crossing he kept on, unconscious of the
fact that fast passenger train No. 10,
lof the Washington Southern Railway,
northbound, was almost upon him.
The train struck the buggy with
great force, smashing it, and killing
Mr.. Roberts and the horse. The buggy,
owner and horse were thrown upon
the south track, over which nnothGr
fast flying passenger train, south
bound, would have passed in a few
minutes had it not been speedily
blocked by those who saw the acci-
dent.
The disaster occurred but a short
distance from the union passenger sta
ton. and when the train stopped the
accident was reported and many per-
sons who were at the depot at the time
went to the scene.
Telephone messages were sent to
this city and in short time the news
had spread all over Alexandria. 1.
The deceased is survived by a
brother, Walter Roberts, and a sister,
Miss Eliza w: Roberts. 4
Mr.. Roberts was CT years old. He
was unmarried. He was. president of
the, Fairfax Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, and a director in the Alex
,andria Water Company and the Citi-
zens' National Bank.
A coroner's inquset will be held at
o'clock this evening.
1t will be recalled that R F. Rob-
erts, father of James Roberts, was
killed at the same crossing about the
same hour, and under similar circum-
stances on September 13, 1884. He
was also in carriage and was struck
by .nqrthbound pay train and in
stantly killed.

MEAT PRICES TO SOAR.
16c Beef to Butcher Early Possibili-
ty, Says Packer.

Chicago, July 10.-Aleat prices will
rise above the record figures Of re-
cent years despite the huge grain
crop, packing house representatives
today asserted. They say that the
present scarcity Of cattle and the
effect of dry weather on grazing
lands will more than offset the enor-
nous grain yield.
A beef price of IS cents tc the
butcher was predicted as an early
possibility AID it was pointed out by
one of the packing house men that
cattle, even now, are higher than for
some time. Scarcity Of grass-fed
cattle was referred to as ore cause
for the predicted advance.
The dry summer in the West last
year is the chief cause of the pres
ent scanty supply on the hoof. An
other factor is that the demand fol
meat exceeds the supply.
