JUST AS SHE DREAMED.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 49, Jsmei
Harrington, employed as a switch
man in. the Rock Island railway
yards at Armourdale, Kas., met in
slant death under the wheels. Har.
ringtOn was an unmarried man, %
years old, and had been employed by
the road about one year. He lived
with brother, Samuel Harrington,
who is the Rock Island night yard
master at Armourdale, and lives at
III South Mill street, that city. He
worked at night With engine No. 81.
A train Of stock had been taken
to the stock yards, and the engine
was returning with a string of
empty cars. A stop was made for
the Belt Line crossing, and young
Harrington was descending an end
ladder preparing to pull coupling
pin. The engine started ahead and
he was thrown between the cars.
He struck with his back on the
rail, and one pair of trucks passed
over his chest, crushing it. His
neck was broken by the fall.
Last Monday night his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Harrington, dreamed that
she saw "Jimmie," as she called
him, cut in two by the cars precisely
as happened. She told him of her
dream, begging him not to go to
work. His brother asked him, after
IA narrow escape two weeks ago, to
quit the railroad, and told him that
he too would quit, but be could not
be induced to do so.

States Senator Wade Hamilton, who

a Sun reporter, says "the farmers
alliance are rapidly disintegrating

appear. People, he says, are rapidly
awaking to the absurdity of the de-
mands Of the organization, as 1t has
promulgated.
YOUTHFUL DEPRAvITY.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. ia horrible
story of youthful depravity came to
light yesterday when Albert KOhis,
a 16.year.old boy in the employ of a
farmer named Kodatz, residing near
this city, confessed that he had MUIR
dered his employers 15-year-old
daughter Annie. He had been init
mate with the girl, who was weak
minded, and she was about to be-
come a mother. Not relishing this
turn of affairs, he killed her Octo-
ber 7, and secreted the body. On
the day of the murder he first put
into the soup which the family was
to have for dinner large quantity
of paris green. Mr.. KOdiatz ate the
soup first, and being taken violently
i'll, at once prevented the rest from
Of it. Thele was so much
of the poison that 1t acted as an
emetic, and Kodartz soon recovered.
That afternoon Annie disappeared,
and when the officers came to inves-
tigate the poisoning she could not
be found. They came to the con-
clusion that she had placed the poi
son In the soup and then fled. All ef
forts to find her proved unavailing.
Last night Farmer Kodatz, in inves
ling the cause of terrible stencil
In the barn, found the unfortunate
girls body under the stable floor,
covered with manure. The boy
Kohls was at once apprehended and
soon confessed. After the failure of
the poisoning scheme he went TO
repair n hole in the barn floor.
Annie went with him., and, while
she was holding board for him to
saw, he crushed her head with
hammer and placed the body in the
hole. He then covered it with
manure and nailed down the floor.
He does not realize the enormity of
his crime.
