II . Ill THE Gives Testimony to the Interstate Commerce Board Regarding a Railway Deal. HAD A BANKER'S EJTEBEST THEBEIB And Nothing More T7hy He Assisted in Getting Hold or 300,000 v,. Shares from Gates. . New York, Jan. 16. At 3 p. m. yesterday J. Pierpont Morgan, the great merger, appeared before the Interstate commerce commission to testify as to the deal In Louisville and Nashville. Morgan began his testimony by saying he was the head of his firm, and that the firm had ten or twelve members, he was not sure how many. He had nothing to do with the purchase of the 300,000 (of L. and N.) shares except to approve the contract when made. The deal was explained to him by Messrs. Perkins and Steele, when he returned from Europe last spring. Morgan presumed a conference was held with Gates about 'the Louisville and Xashr.lle stock sale, but he was not present at it. He was never a director of the Southern, but thought his partner, Steele, was. ! Not Harden Bli Memory, Morgan could not remember'the preliminaries of the Monon purchase though he might have known all about them at the time. A sentence in a circular sent out by Morgan & Co., Aug. 27, 1902, was mentioned to the witness. It advised stockholders of the Southern to make no change in the management until after the settlement of certain matters pendingwhich might affect the development of their lines. "We were trying," said Morgan in explanation, to prevent any one getting hold of the stock like they got hold of Louisville and Nashville and knocking ft Into a cocked hat." Took the Stock Away from Gate. "Witness considered it important to the Southern to bold together the Louisville and Nashville. The option on the Gates stock was got April 15 and he did not know in August who would buy it. "Mr. Gates had the 6tock," said Morgan, "and operated a pool which controlled it. No one knew what he was doing. I took the stock away from Gates and put it where it would not hurt the Southern. At the time we sold It we held for others. Then II Teil tho Story. "Let me telyou the story: We found that Mr. Gates and his associates had control of the Louisville and Nashville. When Gates came to us we found he had control of 306,000 of the shares. That gave him control. The Northern Pacific experience of the year before made us aware of the danger to the Southern tock, and so we made arrangements with Gates. I knew the sale to the Atlantic Coast railroad would not be a disturbing element to the railroads of the south." Ho Kaowa ihm Law. His Interest in the transaction was that of a banker, nothing more. "Did yon recommend the Southern railroad to secure the Louisville and Nashville tock?" asked Commissioner Prouty. "Why, no sir," Morgan said. "They could not hold It. They are parallel and competing lines." EARTHQUAKE IN IIEXIC0 book Tli at Sonda Pooplo lato ttao Stroota to Pray No Lives Ar Reporte! Lost. 'City of Mexico, Jan. ,16.

WSS SHOT Oil SIGHT

South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor "Does" an Editor on the Street. SEQUEL OF A CAMPAIGN QUAERE! Victim, Unarmed, Shot Down Without a Chance to "Draw." ilea Had Met on the Street Dally sind No Sign Bern Given of a Com Ing Tragedy. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 16. Narcisso Gener Gonzales, editor of The State, Is at the Columbia hospital in a critical condition from a pistol wound Inflicted by James IL Tillman, lieutenant governor of South Carolina, and a nephew of United States Senator Tillman. The shooting occurred on Main street, Just at the intersection of Gervais street, In full view of the state cäpitol th'e most frequented corner in Columbia. It was Just a few moments before 2 p. m. when the cry was passed along the streets that "Jim Tillman has shot N. G. Gonzales." Wound Is Probably Fatal. Gonzales was taken to the office of The State, where physicians pronounce his wound very dangerous and probably fatal Policeman Boland immediately after .the shooting arrested Lieutenant Governor Tillman and took him to the police headquarters, where he was relieved of tvro pistols with one of which he shot Gonzales. From the police station he was taken to the county Jail, where he was kept under protection of officers. The only attributed cause for the shooting is that during the recent primary ' election Gonzales bitterly opposed Lieutenant Governor Tillman in his race for-governor. Some of Gonzales' "Criticism. During the progress of that campaign Gonzales in his fight to defeat Tillman had editorially called him a debauchee and blackguard, and having tlenounced him as a "criminal candidate," and a proven liar." It was this and other such editorials, it is supposed, that goaded Tillman to the murder. Since the first primary, Aug. 20, 1902, Gonzales has had nothing to say about Tillman except to comment upon the result cf the primary. , 8HOT DOWN WITHOUT A CHANCE Seems to Bare Been the Way Gonzales Met His Probable Death Wound. 1 There appears to be .no conflict of testimony as to the essential features of the tragedy. Gonzales was walking home alone from his office. Lieutenant Governor Tillman left the state house Just after the senate, over which he presided, had adjourned. He came out of the state house accompanied by State Senators Talbord, of Beaufort, and Brown, of Darlington, and .was Joined on his way up town by Representative-Elect Wyatt Aiken and exState Deputy Domlnlck. The meeting with Gonzales was Just at the turn of Main and Gervais streets, on the north side of the street There was no encounter, no fist fighting, no laying on of hands. Tillman, so far as the evidence discloses, simply drew his revolver and fired at Gonzales. Most of those who saw the affair say there was nothing said until after the shot. One of Tillman's escorts says he thinks Tillman said: "I received your message," and then fired. He is not certain of this,. but thinks so. The other companion of Tillman says he did not hear anything, but thinks he would have heard any words If they were spoken. Two or' three others say they heard nothing until after the firing of the pistol. 9 Gonzales himself gave an explicit statement of ,the affair prior to being put under an aesthetics. He was very emphatic in saying that he had not sent any message to Tillman at any time, and that Tillman said nothing until after he had fired; after he had shot he said something about taking him (Gonzales) at his word. Gonzales took this to mean that Tillman told him that he was settling old Issues face to face with him. Gonzales Is certain that nothing was said until after the shot was fired, when he tottered to the street car transfer ' station agalns which he leaned. Tillman was still pointing his pistol at him, whereupon Gonzales said: "Shoot again you coward." . Tillman lowered his pistol and walked away. - There was only one shot fired, and that entered the right side Just above the vest pocket, passed through the forepart of the body and came out Just below and, behind the left vest pocket The bullet was picked up on the Davement Gonzales and Tillman passed each other in ful view since the opening of the present . session of the legislature on last Tuesday, but there was no encounter, no word passxl, and no recognition of any kind before yesterday. Throughout the affair yesterday Lieutenant Governor Tillman was perfectly cool and collected, sober and unexclted, to all appearances. - Gonzales was unarmed. A few moments after the woupded man had been conveyed. to the office of his newspaper half a dozen or more physicians were uolng all.they could to save his life. It was promptly decided that the only hope was to perform an operation, and it was performed at the city hospital late yesterday afternoon. The operation was regarded as successful, but In the Judgment of the physicians the wounded man has only one chance in five to live. His constitution and habits of life, however, are stated to be greatly, in his favor. The wound Is an ugly one, the liver and intestines being punctured. Lieutenant Governor Tillman was asked for a statement but said ha had been advised by his counsel to say ab solntely nothing and he followed their advice to the letter. , Turkey II as a Rare experience.

The crowning joy of is and the l r crowning 1 i or of iri motberJ y. hood is fiSto have healthy children. But there can be no joy in motherhood without health, and without health for the mother there can be no health for the child. It is of vital importance for women to know that the health of mother and child is in general entirely within woman's control. The thousands of women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription when expecting motherhood, have testified that it made them healthy and happy in the days of waiting, made the baby's advent practically painless, and gave them health to give their children. Mrs. W. J. Kidder, of HiU Dale Farm (Enosburg Center), Enosburg, Vt.. writes: "During the past year I found myself expecting maternity, and in rapidly failing health.
