Husband Hns His Wlfo Arrested for Attempting to Murder Hor Slx-Weoks-Old Babe Tho Wife, Upon Being Taken to tho Station Houso Is Found to Bo Covered with Wounds Inflicted, According to Her Statement, by Her Husband. Adjudged Insane. How pitifully degeneiale human be ings can become wus evidenced almost to tho limit by a case the police au thorities had to deal with yesterday. Mi 3. Burka Eoyaka, of the South Side, wns brought to tho ccntial sta tion house charged with attempting to murder her six-weoks-old babe. Her husband, Georgo Iloyaku, made tho complaint. Ho alleges that during a fit of drunken frenzy she picked tho child up l'tom a bed, raised It high over her head and dashed It to the floor with all tho force she could mus ter. Dr. J. J. Williams and Dr. P. II. Kearney were called to cxamlno Into the woman's mental condition. They decided that she was slightly deranged and locominended that she bo lo stralncd. A commitment wns made out and she wns sent to tho Hillside home Inst evening. Tho pollco are not altogether satis fled that tho husband's story Is cor rect In every particular. That tho wo man Is a heavy drinker was clearly established, but that she attempted to murder her bnbo Is doubted. The fact that tho child is alive and uninjured Is strong proof that tho story of its being dashed) to tho floor is, to say tho least, not exactly as the hus band described it. The further fact that tho woman cried herself into hys terics when tho child was taken away fiom her, to he cared for at tho Found ling home, also tended to throw doubt on the husband's story. Tho woman herself is a pitiable sight. Her head Is covered with old and new scars, her arms are black and blue from the blows, evidently of some heavy instrument, her face is scratched and bruised and in her lower lip Is an ugly gash that appears to have been made by n blow that caused her teeth to cut through from the Inside. She was barefooted and scantily clad and repulsively dirty. Her husband, she said, inflicted the wounds she displayed. The gash in her lip and the discoloration on the arm weie tho result of a beating he gavo her last Sunday, she said. The woman may bo deranged, as tho doctors say, but she was perfectly rational yesterday afternoon when talking to a Tribune repot tor. All tho police who talked with hor aro In clined to tho belief that she Is not a pioper subject for a mad house, but rather for some corrective Institution, where she might be weaned from her dt Inking habits. Dr. Strang, the resident physician at tho home, made a cursory examination of the woman when he came after her Inst evening, nnd expressed the opin ion that she was not insane. STRUCK BY AN ENGINE. An Arabian Peddler Run Down at tho Scranton Street Crossing. Antonio Abiaham, aged 15 years, an Arabian peddler, who has only been in this country a few days, was struck by engine No. 40, in charge of Engineer George Dixon at the Scranton street crossing of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western lallroad at 8 o'clock last evening1, and miraculously escaped in stant death. A coal train was coming up the main track and the gates were lowered, and Abraham had passed under the gates and was standing on the adjoining trark watching the train when he was struck.

BUFFALO STEEL PLANT Company That Will Erect and Operate It to Be Chartered Within Ten Days Capital to Be 820,000,000. Tho following is fiom tho Buffalo Evening News of yesterday; John J. Albilght, one of the promoters of the glgantlo steel Industry which is to be established at Stony Point, ic turned to Buffalo this morning from the east, where he has been In consultation with tho outside capitalists who nre back of the great project. Mr. Albright held a conference with John G. Mil burn, attorney for tho company, this forenoon and at Its close made an im portant announcement. Tho promoters of the company have decided to Increase tho capital stock from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. Another fact of Importance which was made known is that the company will not de pend on the sale of bonds to raise money for building tho big plant, the railroad, the docks nnd other appurte nances necessary, but will issue com mon stock. Mr. Albright expects that the company will be formally Incorpor ated within a week or ton davs. Mr. Albright was seen by a News re porter In the office of Mr. Mtlburn early this afternoon. Ho was reluctant to discuss the details of his two weeks trip to the east, but finally 6aid he thought there was no harm in giving out some of tho detulls of his various conferences with the chief promoters of the steel Industry. "You may SRy this," said Mr. Al bright. "The capital stock of the com pany is not going to bo $15,000,000, ns was originally Intended. The men back of tho scheme have made up their minds to increase it to $20,000,000." "And you may also say this," said Attorney Mllburn. "There will not be a dollar's worth of bonds put on tho market. Every bit of stock Is to be common." "Will any difficulty be encountered in disposing of the stock?" Mr. Mllburn wns asked. Both he and Mr. Albright shook their heads in the negative. Incidentally it was remnrked that every bit of stock allotted to Buffalo had been subscribed for. "The work of getting the company in shape to go ahead nnd build the plant Is progressing rapidly," said Mr. Mil burn. "It may take four or five months to prepare tho plans for the company's plant. There is a pile of detail to bo worked out." Mr. Mllburn and Mr. Albright said the name of tho company had not been determined on. The company will make application to tho state railroad com missioners next week for a public hear ing on tho application for a certificate of necessity for tho South Buffalo Rail way company. This road is to run over the company's lands from Stony Point to "West Seneca. It will cross several roads, but no opposition Is expected. Although it has not been officially an nounced, it is expected that Julian Ken nedy, the famous Pittsburg englneei, will be given the contract to prepare the drawings and build the new steel works. Mr. Kennedy built the Camgle works at Pittsburg, IPa,, the Buffalo Furnace works in Buffalo, and many other plants. m JONESY WAS COLD TO HER. Therefore Minnie Wilson Drank Big Dose of Oil of Olives. Mlnnlo Wilson, of Bloomsburg.known In the half world as Marie Wells, or Simpson, made an unsuccessful at tempt to end her life by drinking al most two ounces of oil of olives, In her room at 321 Center street, last night about 7.15 o'clock. She Is now at the Lackawanna hospital and will prob ably recover. Her reason for attempting self-destruction can be gleaned In part from a note which she wrote either Just before or after drinking the poison. The noto read as follows; "To Seth Jones. Dear Seth. Had it not been for your coldness I would not have done this. Marie." The Jones referred to is junior mem bers of Norton & Jones, hotelkeeper3, corner of Spruce street and Penn ave nue. Another girl who resides at 321 Centre street said last night that "Marie was out nearly all day and had been drinking heavily. She thought that Joncsy waa stuck on some other girl." Mario is plump and pretty, and about 22 years of ago. m Low Fare Excursions via the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Grand legatta on Cayuga lake, Itha ca, N. Y., May 80. 1899.

White Haven's Natural Obstacles to Successful Fire Fighting by tho Old Means Leads to tho Invention of n Now nnd Interesting Plan. Hydrants to Bo Connected by Speclnl Pipes with a Central Sta tion, Which Will Supply All Kinds of Pressure. Scranton genius has solved a perplex ing question for the town of White Haven. It Is nothing less than the surmounting of seemingly insurmount able national obstacles to a system of adequate firo protection. Tho town of While Haven Is, topo graphically speaking, a succession of bleep hills, some of them deserving the name rather of precipitous bluffs. Its limited financial resources will not, of course, permit of the maintenance of very many fire cnglno companies and to fight a flio nn engine was abso lutely necessary In the majority of In stances because of the low water pres sure. The long steep hills mado the transporting of heavy fire apparatus a slow nnd difficult work and the conse quence was that when a fire occurred it was well under way and often be yond control before a stream could bo secured. Tho difficulty came to the notice of A. B. Dunning, chief engineer of the Dunning Construction compnny, and a solution was soon lnid before the town authorities. Ho had no sooner unfolded his Idea than it was adopted and he was engaged to put it into practicnl operation. Mr. Dunning's plan contemplates the erection of a pumping station in tho center of the town which will bo con nected witli tho fire hydrants by a special line of pipes. A slow flro can be built In tho boller3 of tho pumping station and when an alarm of Are is sounded steam will bo quickly raised, tho stationery engine started and by the time the hose companies aro ready to work there will be a pressure on the hydrants that will be sufficient to throw a stream as far or farther than tho largest sized fire engines. Tho entire plant can bo put in place ready for operation for $G,000, a trifle more than what one fire engine would cost. Mr. Dunning's company will be gin work on the plant during tho com ing week. The contract for furnish ing the materials has been awarded to C. P. Beckwith & Company, of this city. This is the first time that this sys tem of flro fighting has ever been at tempted. There is no question about tho practicability of the scheme, en gineers agree, and it would not be sur prising if many other municipalities would avail themselves of its benefits.
