TRAGEDY At OMAHA.
SENSATIONAL END OF THE MUSTER

ARMY.

Especial to IHE W0RLD.l
Omaha, NEB., November l5.-The
muster Of the Northwestern division
Of the Salvation Army at Omaha to-
night to meet La Marechal Booth
Claiborne, Of France, has terminated
in tragedy, sad, sudden and mex
plicable. While the soldiers Of the
Salvation Army were filing slowly out
of the barracks the sound of a pistol shot
rang out above the notes of the bell
tolling above the house, and with a
groan one Of the Army's captains fell
to the pavement, bleeding from the
mouth and nostrils. Her body had
notyet been lodged on the sidewalk
when the second report from a pistol
was heard, and private reeled from
the ranks and staggered blindly a step
or two, fell dead in the gutter, her life
going out amid the cloud of smoke
from her own pistol.
1t was just after six o'clock in the
evening, and the army's forces had
gathered at the barracks for the pur-
pose of making its usual parade prior
to services. The presence in Omaha
Of the official heads of the army in
France and America-La Marechale
Booth Claiborne, and her brother,
Commissioner Ballington Booth-had
drawn hither all the forces Of this di-
vision, which includes Iowa, Minneso-
Ia, the Dakotas and Nebraska.
For four days the army has held
daily and nightly demonstrations, and
the work was seeming meeting with
success. The real motive for the fear
full double crime is not so clear as it
might be, but the indications point to
rather queer combination of jealousy
and semi-religious frenzy.
However obscure may be the motive
that prompted the deed, its results
stand out only too plainly, for the body
of Nettie Birdler, the murderer and
suicide, rests on marble slab at the
city Morgue, and her victim, Captain
Hattie Smith, Of the salvation band
at Oskaloosa, Iowa, is awaiting in UNI
told agony the final extinguishment of
the vital spark at her temporary board
ing place on Davenport street.

show her in the sulky again. and when
she could stand the exercise, he logged
her to light buggy on the road.
Sat first her leg was much swollen,
and in proof of this can refer you to

her over the road she will fall to pieces.
With proper care she may be good for
an occasional squirt, but that is all. Her
piano has been tuned UP to concert
pitch for the last time. and if Bonner
tries to put her under 2:0S4 he will find
that some of her wires will snap"

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE Globe says
that Henry l.. Norcross, of Sargent ave-
nue., SOmeryille, note broker, doing
business at 70 Pearl street, Boston, has
not been seen at his office since
the middle of last week and the
other occupants of his Somerville resi-
dence say that he was killed in rail-
road accident about that time. New
York detectives were in town today
trying to identify the missing man as
the mysterious bonlb-thrower in Russell
Sage's Office last Friday.
Investigation tonight leaves scarcely
any room for doubt that the bomb
thrower and Henry T. Norcross are
Identical. His father, who was
seen tonight. believes that such
is fact. The identification of
the clothing has been made complete by
the discovery that the number on the
trousers worn by the bomb-thrower and
brought here from New York today cor
responds exactly with the number
against the name of Norcross on the
books of tailor who made a suit of
clothes for NorcroSs last October.

thrower'S head has been compared with

Stocks became somewhat unsettled on

asking congress to appropriate $780,

delegations that had not authority to
vote on such questions put themselves
on record individually In favor of the

We affirm without hesitation that the rep

HantageS OF the exposition are TO be reaped

certainly would be most reasonable
