PARIS, March 9.--The police are in u
fair way to bring to justice the muir
derers of the German Leiderman, whose
body was found near Monte Carlo. It
appears that Leiderman, who formerly
resided in Manchester, Eng, took apart
ments in December last in the National
hotel at San Reno. lie frequently
visited Monte Carlo. One day in De-
ceinber two Germans, a man and a
woman, called on him at the hotel and
they all started off by rail. This was
on Dec. 29. In the evening the Ger
mans returned without Leiderman.
They accounted for his absence by say
ing that he went insane through losses
at Monte Gallo and had been placed in
an asylum at Nice. That night the two
Germans departed clandestinely. The
body, when found, had the spine
broken and was punetured about the
region of the heart by pin, like those
used in pricking cards at Monte Carlo
This showed that the murderers wished
to convey the idea of suicide after being
ruined at cards. These two have been
arrested and sent as prisoners to San
Reno.

DEATH ON THE RAIL
An Illinois Express Train Tum-
bled Into Ditch.
THE FIREMAN BURNED TO A CRISP

The Wreck Takes Fire and the
Entire Train Is Destroyed-The
Deadly Car Stove Again-A Corpse
Cremated-A Number of Passen-
gers Seriously Injured.
JACKSONVILLE, Ills, March "a ter
rible railroad wreck occurred yester-
day on the Jacksonville Southeastern,
which resulted in the total destruction
of all the cars by fire, the smashing Of
the engine, the loss of one life outright
and the serious injury Of several per-
sons.
The south bound express was nearing
Havana, when a broken rail ditched the
entire train, which consisted of a bag
gage and express car, smoker, chair car
and two sleepers. As soon as the en-
gine struck the defective rail it careened
to the ditch and the baggage car rolled
on top of the tender.
The Wreck Takes Fire.
Fire from the engineers stove in the
car at once set fire to the latter and it
was speedily consumed. The baggage
man by some means managed to get out
without being seriously injured and at
once set to work rescuing the others.
He found an express messenger pinned
fast under a heavy box and with a
superhuman effort extricated him, but
the poor fellow had left his foot. The
others who were not hurt went to the
assistance. The chair car was set on
fire by the heater and tire flames COM
municating with the sleeper, and all
were destroyed.
The body OF Miss Ellen Woods, whose
remains were being brought here from
Chicago for burial, was consumed in
the blazing cars. Fireman James N.
Haddle was caught in the wreck of the
baggage car and tender and was burned
to cinder. Frank Birkenhead. engi-
neer, fortunately was found and saved,
though his left arm and leg were
broken. ..

II you want a new Suits
A great many people think
it foolish in us to have our
new goods in and on sale
so soon; but the styles are
all determined upon and
made up, and by getting
early we get first choice,
and why shouldn't you
have that as any other2
Again our stock of Heavy
weight Suits and Overcoats
is unusually small after
such a seasons trade as
last falls and to keep up
the assortment we were
compelled to buy early.
You may prefer good
weight clothing; if You do
they are all by themselves
and we will allow a discount
on all their prices of 10
per cent. Especial pre-
paration for boys and
young men i'll suits this
season, and we will con-
slider it a favor to have
you look them over, Ele-
CANT kilt suits for the little
fellows from q to 5 years
old. We have never kept
them until this season, SO
they are all new and sty-
lish.
