How the Head of the Broken Lead
Trust Transferred His Realty.

DETROIT, Mich.. Oct. 24.-Saturdav
afternoon Nathan Corwith, the head OF
the broken lead trust, came to the Rus
sell house i'll this city and asked to see
lawyer. He wanted to get his property
decided away before his creditors could
serve papers on him. His liabilities
were between S2.O0O,OO0 and $50 0.0G0,
and he was working every possible way
to save his S500.000 worth of real estate
in Chicago and Cook county, Ill. BY
some one he was sent to the office OF
William Z. Walsh. He there explained
his errand, stating that the instruments
must be signed that night. Consequently
Mr. Walsh did the work. using William
Looks nOtarial seal. but scratching
out that name and placing his own IN
its place. a thing that is frequently
done. Mr.. COrwith told Mr.. Walsh to
meet him at the Russell house at II
o'clock that night, and his son, Nathan
COrwith. Jr., would be there from Chi
cagO and the business could be consum-
mated. Along about 1880 Mr.. Walsh
went to the hotel, and at As went to
COrwith's room to witness the transfer
of all this property to Clarence +. Birds
eye, of Brooklyn, y. Y, for 500 ana
certain valuable property. For some
time they talked and discussed matters,
and il is an absolute certainty that the
papers were not completed until sun
day morning. This brings up the ques-
ton of the validity of the deeds, and the
attorney who did the work says that he
stopped his ears so as not to hear the
city hall clock strike II. The deeds
were signed after Saturday midnight,
and are consequently invalid. The Cor
WithS left town Monday morning.

Railroad Collisions Accompanied

miles from this city. this morning, be-
tween the % train from this city for
Boston and the New York train which
is due here about O'Clock. The New
York train was Side-tracked to await the
passing of the other train. A baggage
master of the New York train, whose
duty it is to set the switch after the
New Bedford train has passed, lost his
head and set the switch before the New
Bedford train had reached it, and the
New Bedford train ran onto the siding
where the New York train stood.
Engineer FOulkner. of the New Bed
ford train, saw the danger and
reversed his engine before reaching
the switch and Engineer Sheehan, OF
the New York train, reversed his en-
gine, so that when the trains came to-
gether on the siding speed had been
greatly diminished. Both engineers
stuck to their posts in the face of what
seem almost certain death. Had they
jumped the trains must have come to-
gether with such force as to cause loss
of life. The wreck is bad one. both
engines being badly damaged, and the
baggage car of the New Bedford tele-

ceived bruises. 4 wrecking train was
sent to the scene from Taunton The
main track was clear for traffic. The
passengers on the two trains drew up a
testimonial to the two engineers for

for them. Firemen Palmer and Shaw
also remained at their posts and re-
ceived cOmmendatiOn in the testimO-

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Oct. 24-The
Democratic state committee had a long
secret session last night. a new poll of
the state was reported to the committee,
which shows inevitable and Overwhelm-
ing defeat for the republican party in
Indiana. The national committee has
been telegrapned that there is no longer
any doubt OF the state; that careful re-
turns show that the majority for Cleve-
land Is so large that no republican work
can overcome it: Ihat the state may be
bought up for Harrison and yet Cleve-
land will beat him. 4 prominent Dem
Ocrat who knows all about the inside
said tonight: You know that there
are times when the harvest, having
been cleaned and threshed. the crop is
much larger than the farmer expected.
That is the state Of affairs with the
harvest OF his campaign. We have Just
completed a thorough canvass of the
state. We have gone over it carefully
and have not left stone untuTned. and
the result is greatly 10 our satisfaction.
We have considered every possible cir
cumstance that might arise between
now and the day OF election and MOTH
ing can be dug up that can possibly
change the present poll to such an eX-
tent as to turn the election against u.s."

would not allow him to answer the
question as to how much money he had
lost i'm that time. He could not calcu-
late either how much money he had lost

was a mortgage for $4,000. The second
stealing was about a year later, and
amounted to S25,0 900. He then went on
to state how, little by little, the firm had
increased his salary and MADE him pres
ents at Christmas and New Years, and
had leaned him money, and drop of a
pin could be heard as he finished it,
with the statement that his total steal
ings from the firm amounted to S295, 600.
