An Indignant Husband Proposes tn

Broken Up.
Women orazed by Religion.

CHICAGO, May 3.-[Special Telegram ia
The BEE. There appears to be prospects
of much trouble in the near future for the
Rev. George Jacob Schwcinfurth, of Rock
ford, who is proclaiming himself to be Jesus
Christ returned to earth. A couple of hus-
bands whose wives have been converted TO
Schweinfurth's belief are preparing to go
after him with a sharp stick. 1t appears
that few months ago, during some pro-
tracted meetings, held in Park View by
Schweinfurth, Mrs. Wilkins, the wife of q
Chicago doctor, became a convert to the new
religion and acknowledged her belief that
Schweinfurth was in reality Jesus Christ.
The conduct Of Mrs. Wilkins was such that
her husband had to send her abroad IN order
to cure her of her religious mania
DR.. wilkins then employed a female de-
tective, who laid a neat trap to lead astray
the head of the new religious sect. Bat the
scheme was a failure, and the doctor is now
about to begin suit against Schweinfurth for
something like $4,000 for alternating his
wife's affections.
This story was made public to-day, and
reporter called on DIR. Wilkins this afternoon
to see what there was IN IT. "l es, the story
is about right" said the doctor. in answer to
the reporters question. "Nly wife is a con-
vert but don't think she believes all the
rest of those people do"
''ls it true that you are gong to bring suit
against Schwemfurthi'
I'VE are going to do more than that, for
we intend 20 show him up TO the public
There is another man working with me, and
his story is worse than mine. However, L
cannot say anything about him or his affairs.
| He will speak for himself when the time
comes.n
"What is it that you will make public
about this man Schweinfurth that the people
do not already knowin
"Well as / said, do not want to say just
now, but we will make 1T hot for him before
long. This much will say; can now call
| to mind at least fifteen families which have
been broken up and made unhappy through
this man and his religion. Each Of these
families has story similar to, If not more

KILLED HIS MAN.
An Old Feud Out in Laramie Ends
in RlOOdshed,

LARAMIE, Wyo., May 3.-[Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. "A feud which arose
four years ago between Ernest T. Dixon aud
Milton j. Embree, known as Jack Embree,
had a traglcal ending yesterday afternoon
at the formers ranch on Cooper Creek,
thirty five miles from Laramie. Early this
morning Dixon rode into town and said he
had killed Embree and gave himself up.
Embree was only recently released from
Joliet penitentiary, where he served four
years sentence for an assault on Dixon.
For q long time they were friends, living to-
gether here and at North Park, Colo. They
were together in several questionable tran
sactions, notably a cattle stealing case at
Fort Collins. Finally they fell out, and En-
bree, whose relations with DiXon's wife had
caused some comment began to make
trouble for her. She, too, cast HIM off, the
trouble ending in Embree shooting at Dixon
and going to the penitentiary. Then, and
since his return week ago. he avowed re-
venged upon Dixon. For the last two days
he was seen lurking aronnd Dixon's ranch,
and yesterday Dixon sent his hired man out
to reconnoiter; the latter met Embree, who
fired at HIM without effect and then ran into
a thick brush. Dixon came up and followed
him into the brush When he came upon
him, Embree raised his revolver, but Dixon
quickly fred twice from his rife, killing his
enemy instantly. The authorities have gone

THE DENVER GRAVE ROBBERY.
Personnel of the Fiends who Are
Implicated.

DENVER, Colo, May 3.-lSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. There have been no new de-
veopmeuts in the Greenlow grave robbery
case. The men arrested are confined in Jail
to await hearing on Monday. One of the
prisoners, Bacon, has been in Denver for
some time; he has been identified as the man
who tried to negotiate with Mrs. Greenow,
aud who called himself Williams. He has
been a window-dresser for Daniels & Fisher,
and also for Deitrick Munhardt His gen
eral reputation is said to be bad.
Conrad comes from Pennsylvania, origin
ally, but had lived in st. Louis before com.
ing TO Denver; he is a comparative stranger
here.
Mccoy comes from near indianapolis; he
has been in Denver year or two.
K, Greenwald has been in the wholesale
grocery business here for several
years; but it is said that he has
really been an agent for other parties.
He is not now in good financial circumstances,
as he is heavily in debt, and recently gave a
bill of sale for his whole business to p. l..
Bockfnger. A business man who knows him
well says that the arrest of Greenwald for
this crime will not be a surprise to those who
are acquainted with him. He says that
Greenwald has always borne shady reputa-
tation in financial matters. Greenwald's g
father-in-law called at police headquarters,
but was refused permission to see the prso-
ner; he declared that he had no sympathy
with Greenwald, and said that he is a great
rascal Greenwald sits in the Jail with his

THE PASS QUESTION.
Several Eastern Roads Show Up
Their Little Lists.

WAsHINGToN, May 3-In response to an
order of the interstate commerce commits
sion, issued last month, calling upon certain
railroad companies to appear before the COM
mission and answer questions regarding the
issuance of passes, about thirty five roads
responded. most OF which were eastern lines.
The representatives of most of the roads
submitted the lists of passes given by the
roads, and in some cases the reasons for
granting the passes. The Maine Central
railroad representative presented an argu-
ment taking exceptions TO the jurisdiction of
the commission in calling for specific classes
Of passes. The representative of the Jew
York Central road presented an argument
setting forth that his company does business
alone in the state of New York
and has issued many passes TO
persons in that state, but has
not issued them for the purpose of securing
business, ard submits that the commission
may not require any further answer. The
counsel for the Pennsylvania road explained
the list of passes, aud presented circulars of
the company regulating the issuance of
passes in conformity with their understand
ing of the interstate act Technical points
We're raised by several of the gentlemen
representing the roads, regarding the iuris-
diction Of the commission, etc, and the com
mission will, at some future time, hear the
arguments from them,

THE DAKOTA CAMPAIGN.
The Capital and Prohibition the Alb.
sOrhing QuestiOns.


PIERRE, So. Dak., May 3.-fSpecal TO THE
BEE. within the next few months several
political issues of vital Importance are to be
decided by the people of South Dakota, yet
but little excitement prevails, ana, by the
public generally, but n small amount of in
terest is manifested, except in the capital
question.
On the l4th of May the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition will be adopted without doubt. The
prohibitionists, at first, feared that their
enemies would fight this, but their fears
were groundless, for the liquor dealers have,
since the question arose this spring, shown
Willingness to support its adoption, giving
as their reason that their opposition, for OBJ
vious reasons. might delay statehood. But
now their willingness has passed into action,
since, at a recent meeting, neld at Huron, Of
the liquor dealers of South Dakota, they de.
cided 10 do all in their power to aid in the
adoption of the Sioux Falls constitution.
But they also resolved to do their ut.
most to defeat the prohibition clause
when that shall come up separately to be de-
cided by the people. With this issue and
matters in such condition, all the bitter
feelings of the past will spring up and be ex-
perlenced again by the hot-blooded advocates
of each principle.
AS the weeks roll by the interest in tho
capital contest steadily increases, and the
excitement becomes more intense as each
candidate in turn presents new argument
in her favor. Although there are no fewer
than eight or ten cities making vigorous
struggle for the capital honors, yet the prn-
cipal fight will be waged between Sioux
Falls Huron and Pierre. These cities are
working every conceivable scheme to pro-
mote their chances in the coming contest.
Sioux Falls argues that because she is the
queen city, represents more capital and
possesses the most railroads, that she should
| be awarded the prize. But her rivals insist
| that her railroads are not trunk lines and
| hence she is not easily reached from some
| important points.
Huron claims that she is IN the center Of
population and wealth, that hcr citizens are
| entcrprising, and that she represents the
| greatest wealth Of any city in the territory,
according to her size, and for these reasons
should have the capital located there
Pierre simply asserts that she is in the ge-
| ographical center and situated on the only
navigable river in the territory. While
Pierre is kept in the background by the men
who have the management of her campaign
affairs, these gentlemen are quietly laying
for new enterprise, which, when well un-
der hcadway will surprise her most formidr
able rivals

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Coaching Party Run into BY n
Freight Train.

PHILADELPHIA, May "A coach contain
ing several persons was demolished bv a
train on the Pennsylvania road at Brides
burg Crossing this morning, and two of its
occupants, +. X. Womrath and James Dun

The accident occurred shortly after l
o'clock this morning. The coach contained
eleven men. The party were members of
the Masonic fraternity, and were returning
TO this city from visit to DIR. Boyer, of
Brdesburg, worshipful master of the lodge,
to which they belonged. Howard Gibbs,
one of the injured, did not belong to the
party, but had been overtaken on the road
ana allowed TO ride with the driver. The
brief delay caused by taking on an extra
passenger undoubtedly had much to do
with the calamity which followed.
The night was hazy, rendering objects IN
distinct, and it is supposed that the freight
train approached the crossing unperceived by
those in the coach. The engineer, when he
saw what had happened, stopped the train as
soon as possible. Stretched upon the COW.
catcher, bruised, bleeding and insensible,
was johnson, the colored driver. A square
below the crossing his horses were found
dead and dashed to pieces, lying close to-
gether. The force of the blow must have
been terrible, for the shoes were torn from
the front hoofs of one of them, and the
had leg cut off close to the
trunk. Further up the track, the coach
dashed to Underwood was discovered in a
heap and few feet away from 1t were the
bouies of Woprath and Duncan. Close to
them lay their fellow passengers, Smith ana
Wilgus, who were quite senseless. The
others, with the exception of DIR. Hale and
Myers, were groaning pitifully. Two of the
injured, Samuel Smith, wholesale liquor
merchant, and Frank Wilgus, druggist are
expected TO die. The others injured, five in

An Important Decision.

PENSACOLA, Fla, May 3,-The supreme
court of Florida has rendered decision of
vital importance TO railroad corporations.

railroad company, which, the company as
serted, were too low TO enable il 10 earn
enough revenue TO pay it's operating ex-
penses, and refused to adopt the rates fixed

ana the supreme court now reverses the
judgement of the lower court, holding that a
reduction by the legislature or commission
