Last night while she was sleeping In an
apartment adjoining the 'room occupied
by her spouse, Gardener arose and, secur

Mrs. Gardener believes that her hus
band's mind has, become unbalanced and
she will endeavor to have him placed in
some public institution where he can be
closely guarded.
. ALAMEDA, Aug. 18.— Driven to despair
through worrying over his enfeebled
state, Harry Gardener, a consumptive In
valid, made a murderous attack on his
wife last night with a carving knife. He
stabbed her on the head several times
while she lay in bed and desisted only
when his strength failed him and he fell
in a faint on the floor. Gardener's spouse
then sought aid and protection from
neighbors. This morning she complained
to the police and requested that her hus
band be removed from tho Gardener
home, 2124 San Antonio avenue, but re
fused to swear to any charge against the
sick man.
Gardener is about 55 years of age and
was formerly employed in the municipal
Street Department. Nine months ago tie
was taken ill and his condition Is now
precarious. He has been cared for by his
wife.

J. C. Wilder, who succeeds Mr. Worth
ington, is a clever . traffic man. He had
much experience . under Superintendent
Palmer and is credited with being able
to give his superiors no cause of regret
for giving him such a responsible posi
tion. A. W.' Baker has also had much
experience at the Oakland mole and the
work - he ' is to take : up will not be un
familiar to him. " . - • '
Mr. Worttiington will * be attached to
tho executive department of the company,
and his friends. predict that he will ad
vance as far as opportunities permit.
that he was a good man to figure, but
when it came down to real railroading
he was not a success. Later they real
ized their mistake. Superintendent
Worthington carried a little red pocket
book that told him at a glance how much
tonnage his locomotives were hauling, but
he was also credited with combining prac
tical work with tables of figures.
: "When Manager Agler took his car out
over Worthinston's division the latter
could tell how much every way station
brought to the company in freight re
ceipts and how much a yard it cost to
oil his tracks. His fame soon spread,
and a few weeks ago ;.' an Eastern road
made him a handsome offer to leave the
Southern Pacific and so East. He was
reluctant, however, : to sever his connec
tions with the company he had worked
for all His life, and was told that soon
, the < Southern Pacific would be able to
give him a better offer. The result was
that yesterday Manager . Agler formally
notified him of his appointment as assist
ant to General Manager Kruttschnltt.
It is a common theory among railroad
men that once a man begins to- climb
the ladder of promotion in the railroad
world he generally keeps it up with leaps
and bounds. So it Is with "Bert" Worth
ington, as he is popularly called. He Is
looked upon as one of the brightest traf
fic men in the "West, and the Southern
Pacific officials are not slow to appreciate
his worth. He has been in the employ
of the Southern Pacinc Company since
he was a lad and he gradually worked
his way up through Individual efforts
to the oosltion" of company statistician
two and a half years ago. He was . then
placed in charge of the Coast Division
of the Southern Pacific. Under his' man
agement trains began to pull In on time,
better service was noticed and In a few
months he had the premier division of
the Southern Pacific system.

It Is expressly denied by men here who
are competent to speak for the party or
ganizations of New York and New Jersey
that there is any machine movement In
existence or In contemplation to bring
about Cleveland's nomlnatlon.Cleveland's
friends say he would certalnlji object to
such a movement or- to any semblance of
constructive politics in his behalf.
The statement In ex-Senator Smith's letter
confirms In authoritative terms the first an
nouncements published in the Eagle that Tam
many Hall will declare for Cleveland and that
New Jersey will vote for his nomination in the
national convention.
"I am sure that New York State will be In

has friends i who can beat him Is hard to tell.
