HE NEVER MOVED A MUSCLE.
John Barrett Sentenced To Twenty-Fiv,
Years imprisonment For Wife Murder.

John Barrett Sentenced To Twenty-Five
Years imprisonment For Wife Murder.
Fort WAYNE, Ind, Oct ID Special. l.
The case of the state against murderer
John Barrett, after two weeks trial, was
submitted to the jury in the Allen circuit
court at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Before
the jury retired, old Barrett, in speaking
of the case, declared that the attempt to
establish proof of his insanity was due to
the dissatisfaction OF the heirs over the
manner OF his making his will. AS for
himself, he thought that when he attacked
his wife he was insane, but that he was
neither insane before nor since the com
mission of the terrible crime. He was
willing to hang or end his days in prison,
if the court so determined. He is sew
enty-four years of age, and cannot expect
TO live much longer The expert testi-
mony as to his mental condition prepon-
derated in favor of his sanity He
sat the long trial through without
manifesting the slightest interest
in his surroundings, and if he realized his
condition and prospects he certainly was
without anxiety as to what the end might
be. Barrett attacked his wife April l3
with such violence that she died five weeks
afterward. He made no effort to conceal
his crime and the facts in the case have
never been disputed. The Jury agreed at
9:45 this EVENING" finding Barrett guilty OF
voluntary manslaughter and sentencing
him totwenty-ive years in the state prison.
When the verdict was read the prisoner
never moved muscle.

VICTIMS OF THE WRECK.
Two OF the Injured May DIe-The Others
Doing Wen.

KANSAS CRY, Oct. 19.-The passengers
who were injured in the wreck on the A.,
t. & S. F. railway near Dodge City, yester-
day, were brought here to-day Mrs.
Mary G. Dankler of Lamar, Mo, was still
unconscious when she was taken from the
train. She was removed to the company's
hospital, where the physicians entertain
but little hope of her recovery. Miss Mary
Lupton of Keokuk. Ia, and z. B. Amen
of Elgin, ILL.,, were taken to the Sisters
hospital. They are both seriously injured.
Mr.. Amen is an old man and may not re-
cover. Miss Lupton's injuries are not
dangerous. The others who were injured
were not badly enough hurt to prevent
them continuing their journey.
All the passengers speak in high praise
of the conduct of Conductor Thornberg.
He was in the second coach, standing near
the red-hot stove, when the accident oc-
CURED. He held the stove in an upright
position until the fire was extinguished,
burning his hands severely, but prevent
ing the wreck from catching fire.

HIS WEE Fled WITH HIM.
The Mysterious Actions of a Prominent
Kansas City Couple Explained.

KANSAS CRY, Oct. 1S.-The police have
just completed their investigation of the
mysterious fight of two fugitives Last
Friday night man and a woman, greatly
excited, went to the boat-house of Thomas
Wright and purchased from the proprie-
tor fatboat. Later, they brought to the
boat-house heavy trunk, and asked per-
mission to use private room for few
moments. They were shown into Mrs.
Wright's bedroom, where the trunk had
already been placed. When they entered
the room both were handsomely dressed
in the hight of fashion. When they
emerged the man looked like tramp and
the lady like a ragged beggar. Placing
the trunk in the boat the mysterious
couple embarked. They told Wright. that
they were going to float down the river to
the, southern counties.
The police investigated the affair and
discovered that the couple were man and
wife-Mr. and Mrs. Lee Webb. Webb, it
is said, had been engaged in a number of
shady financial transactions and
employed the means above described
to escape. Mrs. Webb had been
acquainted by an outsider with her
husbands guilt and so greatly was she at
tached to him that she insisted upon join
ing him in his flight
Mr.. and Mrs. Webb are both members
Of well-known families which occupy
positions high in the social scale. The
couple were married only two months
ago. Their flight has caused a sensation.
Mr.. Webb's financial complications have
been compromised by his friends who are
now searching for him to bring him and
his devoted wife back to their home.

A Disastrous Railroad Wreck Near Con-
huence, Pa.-TwO Men Killed.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa. Oct. IA most
disastrous wreck in which two men were
killed and large number injured, three

fluence, Pa, on the Confluence & Oakland

his train at a slow rate of speed when a car
in the front jumped the track. The second
car contained two men, the foreman and
a negro laborer. In the next car were
about one hundred men and the third car
was loaded with rails. When the first
car jumped the track the third car crashed
into the two front ones and the others
piled on top of them. The two men in
the second car, Foreman James Fitz-
patrick, of Wilmington, Del, and James
Williams, colored, of Snakesville, Pa,

mangled. Most of the laborers in the
second car miraculously escaped, only
three being injured seriously, although a
large number sustained slight cuts and
bruises. OF the seriously injured George

Probable Death of Two Men and Several
Others Injured.
ANDERSON, Oct. 19.-[Special. l-0ne OF
the most distressing affairs that ever oc-
Cured in this county happened here to-
day. The boiler in Walton's big saw mill
exploded this morning about 10 o'clock,
scattering devastation, death, injuries Of
various kinds, and causing much sorrow
in its pathway. 1t was a fifty-horse power
boiler, and pieces of it were scattered
all over the city, while the building
was torn into splinters. There were eight
men in and around the mill at the time,
and how they escaped without instant
death is remarkable. The building and
mill are totally wrecked Pieces of the
boiler were thrown a hundred and fifty
feet away to the south of the mill. The
following is the list of the men who were
more or less hurt by the explosion:
WALTER MINGLE badly hurt, and will
probably die.
SAMUEL Cook, wounded In the back OF
the head.
HORACE KooNTz, Pendleton, MORALLY
wounded and is dying.
w. III. RAMBLER, New Columbus, fear
fully wounded, but will recover.
WILLIAM STANLEY, engineer, slightly
wounded.
LEVY DENNY and Al srANLY, slight
wounds.
J. L. Folkner, the company of the firm
informed the correspondent that the loss
will reach $1,000.
Later-Horace Koontz lived only O
short time after the accident. How the
explosion occurred no one seems to know
The engineer is old and experienced and
states it was not due to low water in the
boiler He cannot account for it. The
firms losses will foot up at least $4,000
The business was large and extensive, and
the concern shipped hard wood lumber
to all parts of the world.

THE ONE HUNDReoTH ANNIVERSARY
OF the Catholic Laity To Be Held at BaIti-
Next Month.

more Next Month.
On the 18th and 18th OF November next
is to be celebrated the centennial anniver-
sary OF the establishment of the catholic
hierarchy of the United States. The cele-
bration is to be at Baltimore, and it is
naturally expected to bring together an
imposing assemblage of the hierarchy and
clergy, as well as a large eoncourse OF the
catholic laity. A call for the meeting has
been issued by William j. Onahan, Chi
cage, chairman; Henry ]. Spaunhorst, st.
Louis; Daniel A. Rudd, Cincinnati, as
committee on organization OF the congress.
The project has the approval OF his emf
nence, Cardinal Gibbons, and of other
archbishops and bishops. The meeting
will be called to order at 10 a. m. on Mon
day, Nov. II, and continue for two days.
Capable gentlemen have been invited TO
read papers on topics of interest. and gen.
eral discussion of the same will be in
vited. Coincident with the celebration
will occur the formal opening OF the cath
Ole university of America at Washington.
For catholics, the sole condition OF adj
mission to the congress is that OF a card
of introduction from the bishop or admin
istrator of the diocese. This method has
been adopted with the concurrence OF sew
eral OF the archbishops and bishops, who
were consulted on the subject.
The design was, and is, that the con-
gress should be free and open to all catho-
lies; at the sa me time some necessary re-
strictions and limitations were obviously
required TO guard against the intrusion of
persons who might claim to be catholics
and yet be possessed by disloyal spirit,
and under the influence of false or perni-
cious principles. Hence the necessity
and prudence of adopting the card
plan.
At a meeting in Detroit of the commit
tees charged with the duty of arranging
the program and preliminaries for the con-
gress, it was agreed that the list OF vice
presidents of the congress should include
at least one catholic layman from each
diocese.
The committee on organization more
over was instructed to communicate with
the most reverend archbishops and the
right reverend bishops, respectively, and
request each prelate to nominate at least
one catholic layman from the diocese for
the position indicated.
The Right Rev. Bishop Chatard has
invited the following representative lay
men of the diocese of Nincennes to at
tend the anniversary: Hon. John Nc
Donogh, Evansville; Hon. John Reitz,
Evansville; Hon. Henry S. Cauthorne,
Vincennes; Mr.. John Breen, Loogootee ;
Hon. Frank Burke, Jacksonville; Messrs.
A. s. Chapman and G. A. Korbly, Madi-
son; NJ O'Connor and Peter Granting,

game of nervousness. Yet this is a very
real ard serious affection, the harassing
symptoms of which are rendered all the
more poignant by ridicule. The stomach

tranquillizer, we believe that not one can be
pointed out so effective as Eostetter Stom-

ton, it strikes the keynote of recovery of
strength and quietude by the nerves. Head
aches, tremors in quiet sleep, abnormal

these modify and ultimately disappear as
the system gains strength from the great

are subdued by the Bitters.
