: . Bellefonte, Pa., December 14, 1906, TESTS —— Former U.S Senator Wounded by Alleged Mother of His Children. BEGGED HIM TO MARRY HER Washington, Dec. 11.—The life of former United States Senator Arthur Brown, of Utah, who was shot by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley in his hotel apart: ments here Saturday afternoon, Is hanging by a mere thread. Little hope for his recovery is held out by attend- ants at the emergency hospital, but his physician, Dr. W. P. Carr, still has gome hope that his patient may sur vive. Senator Brown's temperature reached 104 and, according to his friends, he is steadily growing weaker. Mrs. Bradley spent another restless day in her cell at the house of deten- tion, and her only thought seems to be for the man whom she shot down. According to the police. a number of prominent western politicians have no- tified her they are willing to furnish money for her defense. Several local restaurants telephoned the matron at the house of detention that they would gladly serve Mrs. Bradley's meals free of charge. A representative of the Sal: vation Army also offered assistance. Mrs. Bradley is held without bail on the charge of assault with intent to kill. She will not be given a prelim: {nary hearing until the extent of Mr. Brown's injuries are known. Mrs. Bradley declares she is the mother of Brown's two children. The shooting occurred in Senator Brown's apartment in the Raleigh ho tel, where Mrs, Bradley also had regis: tered under the name of “A. R. Brown.” Two shots were fired, one grazing his left hand and the other entering the abdomen and lodging in the pelvic cavity. The tragedy was the result of the old, old story of “a woman scorned.” Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley have achieved much unpleasant notoriety in Salt Lake City by their alleged inti macy. It resulted in the woman's hus band divorcing her and in a charge of immorality being filed against Brown and Mrs. Bradley by the senator's late wife. Mrs. Bradley pleaded guilty, but the charge was afterward withdrawn and the case dismissed. Three years ago the senator's wife died, and since that time, it is said, Mrs. Bradley has persistently pursued him from place to place, beseeching him to marry her and to acknowledge her two children. STUDENTS PERISH IN FLAMES Sleeping Men Trapped By Fire Which Destroyed Fraternity Building. Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 8.—The burning of the Chi Psi fraternity house on the campus of Cornell University was at tended with a loss of life that has thrown not only the university, but the whole city, into mourning. The dead number scven. Of these, four were students and ‘he others prominent townsmen who had responded to the alarm in the capacity of volunteer firemen. Among the students who escaped death in the flames seven were in jured, and of these C. J. Pope, of East Orange. N. J. it is feared will not long survive. He was removed to the city hospital after having been badly burned, and his condition has not per ceptibly improved. The dead are: Attorney Alfred S. Robinson. John C. Rumsey, hardware merchant, E. J. Landon, salesman. F. W. Grelle, East Orange, N. J., "10, 0. L. Schmuck, Hanover, Pa., '07. W. H. Nichols, Chicago, '07. James McCutcheon, Jr. Pittsburg, Pa., '09. The hails throughout the house were immediately filled with dense smoke. In the rooms on the upper floors were 27 students, all of whom were taken unawares. It was not possible for the students to get out by way of the halls, and all went to the windows. As the fire approached the rear of the building the students were forced to jump, and several were seriously in- jured in this way. The wind at the -time was blowing 30 miles an hour and created a draft through the build: ing that soon made the interior a mass of flames. The cause of the fire will probably never be discovered. The building is an unsightly wreck, with no particle of ite inner furniture remaining. SEWED TOWEL UP INSIDE WOMAN Surgeons Remove Cloth Forgotten at First Operation. Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 8.—Miss Lulu ‘Summers, sister of United States Dis- trict Attorney Summers, was relieved of a towel which she had carried sewed up in her abdomen for five weeks, where it was forgotten by surgeons who performed an operation for appen- dicitis. A second operation was necessary to remove the towel. Five weeks ago Miss Summers was operated upon, and although the wound healed she failed to recover. She insisted that there was something within the cavity. Finally the surgeons decided upon a second operation, and a towel which had been used in the first operation was found. Shot Herself While Child Was Dying. Scranton, Pa., Dec. 10,—When in- formed by the attending physician that her child was dying of diphtreria, Mrs. Max Backer, of Hawley, near here, went into the cellar and shot herself twice in the head. The boy died two hours after the shooting and she four hours later. Her husband, a prominent manufacturer, was on his way to Chi- cago at the time. FATALLY SHOT IN FATHER Daughter Fired Two Bullets Into Par ent's Head Defending Mother, Philadelphia, Dec. 11. — Miss Mary McAtee shot and probably fatally wounded ner father, the Rev. John Quincy McAtee, at their home here. The shooting, according to police offi- cials, followed a quarrel between Rev. MecAtee and his wife, in which the minister, it is asserted, was trying to throw Mrs. McAtee down the cellar stairs. The daughter, who was in the upper portion of the house, rushed down stairs with a small revolver in her hand, and fired three shots at her father, two of which took effect in the head One of the bullets penetrated the brain. Mrs. McAtee and the daughter told the police that the has- band and father had been drinking lately and had been quarrelsome and caused them much trouble, A short time ago, the daughter said, he had choked her and tried to throw her over a stair rail while in one of his quarrel- some moods. The mother, daughter and a colored servant who was in the house were arrested. The McAtee family is widely known. Rev. McAtee was a member of the Lutheran Synod. He was for- merly pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion in this city, but is now on the retired list. He was for five years in Nova Scotia, and re- turned a short time ago from Palestine and the Holy Land, where he went in the interst of the church. The daugh- ter who did the shooting is 23 years cf age. READING MEN STAND PAT Company's Refusal to Recognize Un- ions May Cause Strike. Reading, Pa., Dec. 11.—A strike of its trainmen may follow the refusal of the Philadelphia & Reading railway to recognize the unions to which nearly 5000 of its employes belong. Whether there will be a strike or not is still problematic, though the determined stand taken by the men is significant. International officers of labor unions whose members are employed on the Reading railroad system arrived here to demand recognition of their organi. zations. They met committees of the local unions and all hands went into conference on this question with Gen- eral Superintendent Dice. Serious trouble is threatened unless the unions are recognized. It was stated on good authority that the company would not do that; that the men had recently been given 10 per cent. advance, but that the organizations would not be accorded recognition. Hope is ex: pressed that an amicable adjustment of the differences will be effected. The Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, the Order of Railway Train men, the Order of Locomotive Fire men and the Order of Railway Con: ductors all have similar grievances. They declare that some of their mem: bers have been discharged simply be- cause they belong’ to these organiza tions, and they ask for a change in the company's attitude. It is alleged that whenever a member serves on a committee to present grievances he is subject to dismissal. This, it is de clared, has been the policy of the com: pany for a long period. SUICIDE TO AVOID ARREST Woman About to Be Arrested For Forgery Shoots Herself. Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 8. — Ethel G. Ferver, 25 years old, cashier for a dermatologist, shot herself and died at the apartments of her mother in this city to escape being taken by a detective on a charge of forgery. Miss Ferver came here from Ohio’ some time ago and was known as one of the handsomest gowned women in the city. Dr. Span, by whom she was em- ployed, boarded with her mother, and when he accused her of forging his name to a check for $1000 she went into an adjoining room after Span had telephoned for a detective and shot herself. The girl died as the detec tive appeared at the apartment. GILLETTE SENTENCED TO DIE Slayer of Grace Brown to be Electro cuted During Week of January 28. Herkimer, N. Y., Dec. 11.—Chester E.
