is true that Easter is the popular day

SAD FAMILY STORY.

A Chicago Man. Degraded by Liquor,
Sells His Wives Graves.
A painful subject is involved in a bill
filed in the circuit court by Paul G.. Troem-
per and Charles and Henry P. Ieuhrs,
minors. against Henry Leuhrs, John
Bughagen and the Graceland cemetery
company.
The defendant. Leuhrs, is the father of
the minors, and he was the husband of two
successive wives, both OF whom wele the
sistefs of the complainant, Troemper. The
names of the two wives were MARY and
Magdalena, respectively, The former de-
parted this life III 1867, and the latter in
1884. Three children were born of the first
union. and are dead. while tho complaining
minors ara the surviving children of three
bon of the last marriage.
In 1897 the father purchased the east
half of Il lot in Graceland cemetery, where
now rapose his two wives and four children.
The father of the complainant IroemDer
bought tho west half of the lot for Il family
should have their final resting place prnctl-
cally together. After the second marriage
it is said that Leuhrs began drinking to OK,
cess and is now Il confirmed drunkard. |.
is alleged that he was approached by Bug.
hagen with an offer to purchase the east
half OF the burial lot, and after several at
tempts Bughagen succeeded in inducing
Luehrs, while intoxicated, to sell the fam
i!y lot for $50. Bughagen now claims own
ership and has threatened to dig up and re
move the bodies of the wives and children
buried and otherwise desecrate the sacrs(
resting place.-Chicaso lnter-Ocesn.

LIKE THE FLYING DUTCHMAN,
A Deserted Vessel Sailing the Atlantic
Under Full Canvas.

A Des, rtea Vessel sailln. the Atlantic
Under Full Canvas.
A sailing vessel under full CANVAS deserted
in midocean, but apparently uniniuled,
was the strange sight reported by Capt.
Digliani, of the Italian bark Colombo D.,
which sailed from Al%exandretto in October
last. When $50 miles west of the Bernudas
on Jan. il the lookout informed the captain
of the appearance of the strange sail. A
glance through the glass told the captain
that something was wrong with the ap-
preaching ship. The stranger was made
out to be the barkentine Hutchins Bros, of
New York, and Capt. Diglianl strained his
eyes to catch sight of q man at the wheel,
III the shrouds or about the deck. but none
WAS visible. He looked over the hull from
stem to stern, but could see no trace of in
jury received III n storm or otherwise. The
aea Was scanned in the neiuhbo.hood for
anything that might look like n small boat
This captain called his officers about him
and talked snbdued Italian while he pointed
to the stranger.
Capt. Digliani probably remembered the
adventures of A. Gordon PIN, and every
member of his crew was familiar with the
tale of the Flying Dutohman. There was
a mystery there surely-a story of some
kind. IL it we're early in the day and the
sky were clear, 1t certainly would be proper
to go aboard the stranger. But tho Hutch.
ms Brothers was still some miles away and
night was close at hand. Before Rne could
be reached it would be pitch dark, and in
any case great delay must result. Aftel
rendering the matter carefully, Capt. Dig
liam decided not to examine the Hutchin,
Brothers, and his men looked much re-
lieved. The abandoned vessel was on he
waT from Pernambuco. Her agents are tn

ONE WAY TO DOUBLE SPEED.
Novel Means of Rapid Transit on Exhibi-
ton In Chicago,

Novel Means of Rapid Transit on Exhibi-
ton In Chicago.
The demand for rapid transit in this and
other cities has been the means of bringing
to public notice MANY peculiar inventions,
one of the most remarkable of which Is
now in operation at the Worlds fair
grounds in Chicago. The invention is q
new application of an old theory, and can
be illustrated by the anology of n man
walking from the rear of a train forward.
If the man advances at a rate of three
miles an hour, and the train at six miles an
hour, the man will be moving at the rate of
nine miles an hour. The means by which
this fact is applied is peculiar. The struc-
ture on which the road uns is similar to
the New York elevated roads, with a three
foot guage. On the rails rests an ordinary
railroad truck, moved by an electric mo-
tor. On top of this railroad truck is a
platform. with two steel rails three feet
apart. These rails rest on the %peripharies
of the wheels of the truck, and the plat
form, with this exception, is free from
the truck. When the wheels of the
truck move the motion at the tops of the
wheels is, of course, forward, and the rails
on the bottom of the platform. resting on
the tread of the wheels, move forward. If
the trucks move at Che rate of three miles
an hour, the platform moves at six miles
an hour. The train ia endless and moves
constantly. To make it possible to get on
or off while the whole fabric is in motion
there is another platform fastened to the
trucks that moves at tbs trucks speed of
three miles an hour. From this platform
the passenger gets on or off with compare
tive ease. The advantages claimed for the
system are many Some of them are that
the cost of the road is only one-half that
of an elevated railroad, uses only one-half
the horsepower and is much easier to take
care of. It is also claimed for it that al
though the working speed is six miles an
hour, the rate is as high as the elevated
railroad. since there are no stoppages al
stations and waiting for q train. 1t is also
claimed that the wear and tear is rs pei
cent less than that of the elevated roads,
