SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
A Chicago Drummer Plays OF His Money
and Then Suicides.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, March AT 6 80 yes
terday morning there was discovered, on the
track of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, the
mangled corpse of well dressed man. The
head had been severed from the body, and
one of the feet had been cut from the legs
by tralp< The body was cold. A number
Of papers and business cards were scattered
on the ground near the corpse. These were
turned over to The officers. The body was
taken to the undertaking establishment, and
jury of inquest summoned. From the tes-
timony taken it is certain that the dead man
is NJ. Samfeld, representing the house OF Hart
Brothers, Franklin street, Chicago. Among
the papers found in the dead mans pockets
was letter from Hart Brothers, dated March
1, in which had been inclosed check for
1925. This check was cashed at the State
National Bank in this city on the 4th inst
MIR. George G. Hudgens, chief clerk of the
PIckwick Hotel, identified as NJ. Samfield,
who had registered at the Pickwick Oh Feb
ruary q. remained there until March /, and
then left, leaving two sample trunks at the
hotel. He returned on the I'd and remained
until the 4th, when he again left and did not
return.
Saturday night, between 8 and 10 o'clock,
two men, Morris and Mace, were walking east
on the railroad track, and just at the switch
stand east of the Union Depot, saw pros
trate form lying across the track, the feet on
the north rail and the head on the south rail.
Thinking he was dead, they stopped and ex-
amined the man, when he arose to his feet
and remarked that he was mot dead by "a
sight"
He walked toward the depot, but both
Mace and Morris say that, notwithstand
ing the fact that they watched him, they
never saw hiEl go on the platform nor hear
him step upon it. The body found yesterday
morning was at the exact spot where the
man Saturday night disappeared from their
sight. They locked at the corpse at the I'M
dertaker' s. yesterday morning and identified
it as the man the saw lying on the track Sat
urday night.
The facts indicated that the deceased had
committed suicide. Saturday evening about
$50 o'clock Samfeld went to Acting Mar
shall Scott and stated that he had lost Sl25 at
gambling table, and asked the officer to
assist him in recovering it, stating it was
was all the money he had. This money,
which he no doubt received from the check
sent him, was not recovered. This was the
last seen of Samfield until he was found lying
on the track some hours later. Being de-
spondent over the loss of the money no
doubt caused him TO commit suicide. Such
was substantially the verdict of the jury,
and such was telegraphed to the house he
represented.

WANTS NoTORIETY,
Antics of a Strange Man in the Gallery OF
the Paris Bourse.

PARIS, March 5.-Peronnier, the soldier,
who, by firing his revolver in the Chamber
OF Deputies, on the 25th OF February, forced
the State to take notice of him and his
grievances has already had an imitator.
While business was at its height this after
noon IN the Paris Bourse, strange man in
the gallery drew attention by making APP
parently aimless demonstrations. Subse-
quently he took bottle containing an ex-
plosive liquid from a pocket and cast it
down among the brokers upon the floor
OF the exchange. crying out as he did so,
''Vive anarchiel' The bottle struck no
one, remained intact, and made no
episode. A few spectators, who were inter-
rupted in their observations by the mans
conduct swore at him, and asked why the
police did not remove him. The man then
drew revolver and shot three times down
toward the msin floor. He soon had the
gallery to himself, and continued to bran
dish his revolver and yell, "Vive anarchie"
Tremendous excitement reigned for awhile
in the exchange, and all business was sus-
pended.
The disturber was soon seized and hurried
from the place but none too soon, as the
crowd, when they recovered from their
fright, became furious and sought the offend
er with cries of Lynch him" The prisoner
is man belonging evidently to the working
class %

MARRIED HER PASTOR.
An Elderly Lady Becomes the Wife OF q
Fascinating Young Minister.

DErRoIr, Mich, March 7.-Aii Detroit was
agog yesterday evening over the social SEN
sation that is sure to outlive here the ira
ditioual nine days. For the past year. until
about two months ago. Rev. w. J. Spears, q
fascinating young man of thirty, has been
in charge of the congregation of st. yoseph's
Memorial Church, on Medbury avenue. The
Rev. Spears was not very eloquent. but he
is iusty young fellow with a passion for
Irritation. In personal appearance Mr..
Spears would never have been taken for a
minister. The conventional grab of the Bpis-
copal Church even looked quite stylish on
his well-proportioned and erect figure His
curling brown hair was worn rather long,
giving his face an intellectual appearance.
He was decided novelty as a clergyman.
During the sleighing season he drove his
sorrel among the Cas- avenue flyers, and
there were few who showed their heels to
the minister He was also a constant at
tendant at base ball games, and was usually
accompanied by the ladies. To the fair sex
he was devoted until his gallantries became
proverbial. His winning ways soon gained
for him the tender regard of many of the
young ladies of that fashionable quarter of
the city. 1t is said that he won and severely
strained-and in fact well nigh broke-the
hearts of not less than half a dozen young
women. He surrendered to one of them,
and his engagement was announced with a
daughter of A. G. Lindsey, prominent in
surance man. This engagement, it was
supposed here until this evening, was
still in force. But it appears that
it was not only the young ladies of the
congregation whose susceptible hearts were
touched by the magnetism of the young di-
vine. An elderly matron, the mother Of
thirteen children-several of whom were
old enough to marry the minister if he
would have them-fell in love with him.
This matron was Mrs. Christopher X. Nab
ley, widow of the Detroit mercant prince,
and it is her marriage with the minister that
creates great social sensation in this city.
The marriage occurred in New York City,
where Mrs. Mabley had gone, followed
quickly by the infatuated clergyman. 1t
was celebrated at the Buckingham Hotel,
and the only witnesses were Mrs.
Mableys servants. The announcement
of the marriage was possibly fastened
by the report that the two
were living at the hotel, and the fact was
confirmed yesterday evening. They will go
| to Europe. Many young women here will
| bewal the unexpected step raken by the gay
| preacher. When Spears resigned the pasto-
| rate of ST. Joseph's Church on January 20,
| he said he was going to return to st. Louis,
| his former home, but it is known that he
went straight to New York. Not one of Mrs.
| Mabley's family were informed of their
mothers marriage, and learned of it for the
| first time this evening from outsiders. AS
| Mrs. Mabley II very rich, those are not want
! ing to question the pastor motives in break
ing his engagement to Miss Lindsey and
marrying the clothiers widow.

NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind, March 5.-About
10 O'Clock last night a mob of $50 men and
boys went to the house of B. B. Swankin, in
the east part of town, who is accused of
whipping his wife and shamefully abusing
his childred, and ordered him to pack his
personal effects, preparatory to leaving town.
He obeyed orders and soon had two grip
sacks well filled and ready to start When
ne made his appearance on the outside of
the house the mob fell to and gave him a
beating before starting to escort him beyond
the corporate limits of the town. They then
marched him TO Main street and, turning
west, to the railway in the west end of
town. During the march down the street
he was kicked and cuffed numerically, and
big, burly butcher followed close behind
him. and every few steps struck him with a
huge cattle whip. After reaching the west
end OF town they took him down the rail-
road track about half a mile, when they
called halt, took off his coat and two mus
cular men gave him a terrible whipping
with black-snake whips striking blow about,
until the blood tnckled down his arms and
fingers. They then compelled him to prom

A GAME OF BLUFF,
The Telephone Monopoly Determine to Close
Exchanges In Larger Cities.

The following dispatch was received last
night:
CHICAGO, March 2-The Central Union Tele.
phone Company to-day issued the following:
To our Patrons in Indiana:
THIS company announces with regret that in
81 Indiana sustaining the validity Of the law re-
ducing telephone rentals and toll-line charges ii
has voted TO decline all new business in the
larger cities where il is impossible to furnish ser
vice under the law without loss to forthwith give
nouee o. the discrimination, at the earliest pos
aDle date, OF the contracts of all sub
ser1Ders IN such places; TO make the con-
hnuanee OF exchange business in smaller
places dependent upon the possibility OF CONTINUE
ing under the law without loss and to appeal to
The Supreme Court of the United States This
conclusion had been reached after a careful and
Ihorough revision OF the estimates, which were
unlimited 70 the committee OF the Senate and the
eovernor OF the State, and upon which the Tbs
~ IL onieetS Impending litigation were based,
earry on its business under the present law
Much time hes been spent in an effort to devise
some plan OF which all of its exchanges and toll
lines could be continued, but to no purpose In
sonciusion, the company desires to express to ali
81 is subscribers its thanks for their patronage,
and especially to the majority who have felt in
Injustice of the law.
Readers of the Sentinel are familiar with
the history OF the controversy between the
sompany and the people of .he city, as well
n the showing of profits that was made dur
ing the trial of the cases which have lately
been decided in the Supreme Court. Under
The circumstance, it appears incredible that
the company would close its exchanges in
our larger cities, and the people will be 10th
to believe it until it is demonstrated by ac-
hon. In this event, however, there are other
companies ready to come in and OCCUPY the
feid; and whatever of convenience there is
IN telephone service, the people are not
likely to be deprived of it for any consider
able period. III the company actually with
draws from the State, il will be with a view
81 lettering other States from making such
laws and not because a 50 per month rental
does not yield good profit on the invest
Eent.
