fatally. The names of the latter are r.
Raefel, John Learch and Samuel Crotxcr. all
of Nanticoke, Pa, who were on their way to
Wilkesbarre. The injured were taken to

killed this morning by being run over at Eau
Claire BY the Wisconsin Central special train,
which left this city at 1880, carrying the Cath

the fatal accident. The special had arrived
at the crossing, made the usual stop, and was
waiting for the Omaha freight to pass, Mrs.
Lenfesby being on the opposite aide Of the
freight and not knowing Of the waiting epe-

she was within three feet Of the cowcatcher.
The air brakes were applied almost instantly,
but too late to do any good. Mrs. Lcnfeeby
was . resident Of Eau Claire and about 60
years Of age. Right children survive her.

MIST Hang Sure.

ST.. Louis, July 6.-Gov. Morehouse was in
the city yesterday and was questioned as to
his action upon the Maxwell petition for .
Communication of the death sentence. The
governor refuses TO express himself upon the
subject to newspaper men, but to others he
has said positively that he would not inter-
fere with the course of the law. Yesterday
afternoon the doomed mans mother and sis

They were much more cheerful in their ap-
pearance than or their previous visit. AZ be-
fore, an iron screen separated Maxwell from

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July con May 10
last John X. Miles, . dapper young man Of
2s years, who is the prospective heir to .
fortune OF $4,000, and Philadelphia agent Of
the Shoe and Leather Reporter, forged his
mothers name to a check for $4,000 and pre-.
sented 1t to the cashier Of the PENNSYLVANIA
company for the Insurance ON Lives and
Granting Of Annuities.
The signature appeared to be genuine and
the money was paid without question. The
signature, however, proved to be forgery,
but before 1t was discovered Miles had fed,
taking with him Miss Cerson, the beautiful
daughter Of stillwell E. Corson, the we'll
known insurance man, Of 400 Walnut street.
Philadelphia.
Miss Corson was only IA years Of age, and
had not made icr debut when she met Miles
aud fell in love with him on sight. In Q few
days Miles proposed marriage. She knew It
was useless to ask her fathers consent, 60 an
elopcment was decided upon. Then came the
rub. Miles was without funds, but did not
care to reveal tho state of his finances, 60 he
decided to raise the needful by means Of q
forged check, which was successfully carried
out, and after that nothing was heard Of the
r%unaways, although Corson exhausted every
means in his power to discover their wherc.
abouts. On opening his mail this morning,
Mr.. Corson was surprised to receive q letter
from Miles, dated at Liverpool, In which he
said that he and Miss Corson had gone direct
to Jersey City after leaving Philadelphia and
were married by q clergyman there. After
the ceremony they took q steamer for En-
gland, and had since been having merry
time on the continent. He said that he had
made a successful settlement with his mother
ON account Of the forged check, and sholld
like to be assured Of Mr.. Corson's forgive
ness, as he intended taking the steamer for
New York. Mr.. Corson has not yet decided
whether to forgive the prodigal or not.

fore she thought Of going on the stage she
had acquired q reputation as Q danseuse. She
was instructed In the Terpsichorean art by
Prof. Spies Of this city and 80 rapid was her
progress that che was soon recognized a. the
premiere Of the institution. NoNay ball was
. success at which Emma stockman did not
appear IN one or more fancy dances. Though
somewhat heavily built considering her age,
she was remarkably agile and light Of foot.
Her attitudes were exceedingly graceful and
her execution perfect. Her old teacher al.
ways referred with pride to the fact that he
had developed her wonderful talent.
Her father always accompanied her to and
from the dancing academy. While yet in her
teens she developed . fondness for the stage.
Her father who kept . saloon on East street,
as well rs her mother, did not favor this step,
but the girl was determined and finally they
consented. Manager Ford gave her q trial
and her performances were 90 satisfactory
that he engaged her as utility woman in his
stock company, Of which Rosa Rand, now
the wife of q naval Officer, was leading lady.
George Howard was the comedian and Leslie
Gosein was leading man. She rose rapidly
In her profession and In one season became
the most useful member Of the company.
When she made up her mind to 60 on ct
Ford's her father constituted himself an e.
cort whose vigilance knew no relaxation. He
accompanied her to andfrom the theater, and
woe to the languishing admirer that waited
at the stage door for the sweet soubretts.
Her experience at Ford's enabled her to OBJ
ain . gooi position In . Richmond stock
company. She subsequently became the 1uve-
nile lady OF Mary Anderson's company, where
she first met John w. Norton, who was play.

the pretty actress, and to have followed her
around from town to town when she Was q
