A SUDDEN DEATH.
ii. M. Gollibard, Well Known Here,
Dies at Memphis.

The sad news of the death of III. M.
Gollibard, at his residence in Mem
phis, reached the city early this
morning. The death was a sudden
one and occurred about 6 o'clock.
The deceased is most favorably
known to many of the people OF
Clarksville, and his death IL very
much regretted. For a number of
years he was route agent for the
Southern Express Company for this
territory, and for time made Clarks.
vile his headquarters. He was
a portly, fine-looking man, and
had one of those sunny, cheer
full dispositions that made him
a favorite with the people with
whom he came in contact. He was
popular with his fellow express men
and occupied high position In the
estimation of his employers. He
was about SO years old and leaves a
wife and two or three small children.
The cause of the sudden death Is sup
posed to have been heart disease or
aporlexy. He passed through here
yesterday en- route to Memphis In
seemingly perfect health.

A STRANGELY WEIRD SCENE.
At the Cremation of n Texas Suicide by
sthe Chicago whitechapel Club.

tine ShlcAgO WhttechapeI Club
CHICAGO, July ia novel and dra-
matte scene was enacted Saturday night
on the south shore of Lake Michigan.
AT the base of great ridge of glisten-
ing white near the waters edge there
was lighted funeral pyre, and all that
was smortal of Morris Allen Collins, presi-
dent of the Dallas (Tex.) Suicide club,
was by his own written request reduced
to ashes. The Whitechapel club, of this
city, had charge of the strange cere-
mony. The torch was applied to the pile
of pitch-soaked wood at 1880 o'clock,
and during the five hours that the body
burned, impressive ceremonies were per-
formed, consisting of music, recitations
and addresses.
Collins committed suicide July 8 by
shooting himself through the head in his
room, on West Madison street. He was
forty years old, the son of Rev. Samuel
Collins, a Methodist minister, in Texas.
Left an orphan early in life, Collins
seems to have had a constant struggle
with poverty He came to Chicago prac-
tically penniless in 1885, and afterward
became writer for The Labor Enquir-
or. On the register of the Whitechapel
club his signature appears, "M. A. Col
Inns, President Suicide Club, Dallas,
Texas"
Collins was seriously injured in Octo-
ber, 1890, by being knocked down by an
engine on the Northwestern road, and
the injury probably affected his mind.
1t was followed by mild epileptic at
tack, which afterward required with in
creasing intensity and frequency, until
he became respondent, and finally ended
his life.
The scene of the cremation was by far
the most desolate spot that could be
found in the vicinity of Chicago. The
building OF the funeral fpyre occupied
eight mems time during the greater por-
ton of the day. When completed it
stood eighteen feet long, eight feet wide
and twenty feet high. In addition to
the members of the Whitechapel club,
considerable number of their friends
from the city were present at the cere-
monies, besides half hundred country
of Collins, draped in white robe, was
taken from its casket and placed on top
of the pile.
The Whitechaplers lighted their
torches and marched three times around
the pile singing dirge. The fire was
started. The club chaplain, w. G.
Thompson, delivered a characteristic
address, which was followed by other
addresses by members. Mournfully the
harp and either played the sad notes of
Ernst's "Elegy," and funeral sermon
was delivered by Dwight Baldwin.
AT last came the ceremony of gather
ing the ashes. With trowels made and
plated for the occasion, the few charred
remains of the body were reverently
placed in the temporary urn. Bearing
this the company returned to the city
long after sunrise.

A Good Market.

The market was good this morn
ing and looked anything but starva-
ton. There was Llenty of all kinds
of vegetables and they were cheap.
Large, luscious tomatoes were selling
at 124 cents per dozen. Cabbage,
snap beans, squashes, ETC., were cor
respondingly cheap. b. F. Brown,
of Meadow, had the finest lot OF
cabbage that has been seen on the
market this year. They were large
and firm, some of them being as
large as a water bucket. He had
onions to match, too. Some of them
would weigh pound. There is no
use talking about starving ia Mont

This Pretty Kentucky Girl with q Re-
markable Power.

This Pretty kentucky Girl with q Re-
markabie Power.
GREENUP, KY, July ia young
lady, handsome and indeed bewitching,
claims to be witch and claims to be
able to name the witches that have
been supposed to exist for ages. There
seems to be something supernatural
about Alice. Sunderland, as she manifests
peculiar power over animals, as demon
strated here Sunday. She lives some five
miles from town, and while here this
morning attracted much attention by
her peculiar actions and talk.
She was well dressed, of fine appear
ance, and upon starting for home de-
clared that on Spalding Hill she would
meet man driving five yoke of oxen,
that upon her approach the cattle would
begin lowing, and as she passed them
they would lie down and refuse to re-
spond to the lash of the driver. She was
followed out of town about half mile
to the hill by several of the citizens of
the town, who upon reaching the crest
of the hill were much surprised to be-
hold team of cattle as foretold by the
fair Alice. Greater was their astonish-
ment, upon coming closer, to hear the
mournful notes Of the oxen lowing, and
as Alice passed them by, they assumed a
reclining position and refused to get up,
though the whip was piled by the
driver numerically.
After short time she passed back,
and in an unintelligible tongue spoke
some words, whereupon the animals
arose and started off. She then told the
amazed crowd that If they would ac-
company her short distance further,
they would perceive seven COWS feeding
in a pasture; that upon seeing her they
would approach the road and be MIXED
by invisible hands; in the meantime
they would below as though they had
lost their calves.
The crowd eager to witness this fur
ther manifestation of her power, fol-
lowed her mile, when they looked and
beheld the seven kline pasturing in a
field by the roadside. She began calling
them and they approached near the
fence when she began a peculiar chant,
and told the crowd to notice that the
milk was flowing. The persons who
vouch for the story say the cows, after
being MIXED dry by some invisible
power, walked away, and the young
lady, announcing that her power for tho
day was exhausted, proceeded on her
way homeward, while the crowd re-
turned to town scarcely being able to
credit their senses, and wondering
muchly at what they had seen.

AMERICAN WHEELMEN.
Several Thousand Already at
Washington.
They are There to Attend the Annual
Meeting Of the League Of Ameri-
can Wheelmen.
Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l

WASHINGTON, July l9.-Every in.
coming train today is bringing
large additions to the .throng of BIZ
cyclists already here to attend the
thirteenth annual meet of the
League of American Wheelmen.
Up to this time fully 5000 have reg
istered, and it is expected that by the
time the first race is called to morrow
there will be 1900 visiting league
members in this city. Since early
morning hundreds of cyclists from
all parts of the country, singly
and in groups, have been scurry-
ing along the broad avenues,
and seemingly enjoying to
the utmost the delightful weather
and Washington's smooth asphalt
pavements.
At 9o'clock this morning about
800 joined in a run over the principal
avenues, taking IN view of the
public buildings. At 1880 the wo-
men to the number of about 150 took
a run to the National Soldiers Home
and Tacoma Park, and at IL o'clock
another run was made into the coun-
try west and north of the city, also
having for its objective point the
National Soldiers Home. At 2
O'Clock there was a meeting at the
Columbia Athletic Club house, at
which addresses of welcome were
made by M. M. Parker, president of
the Board of Trade, and Mr.. Doug
las, one of the District Commission
ers. Mr.. G. l.. Burdett, of Hartford,
president of the League, responded.
AT 2:3O a meeting of club captains
was held, at which arrangements
were made for to-morrow's parade.
At o'clock run was made to Fort
Myer and to the Arlington National
Cemetery.
The most popular feature Of the
meet will be the racing at Analstan
Island, which will commence to-
morrow at 2:30 p. m. The track has
been put in excellent condition, and
ample accommodations for ferriage
have been made. All of the entry
lists for the handicap and class events
are well filled, but in the T.. A. w.
championship events, on which the
chief interest will center, only those
men are eligible who have won State
championships corresponding to the
national events.
Among the other courtesies extend
ed to the Wheelmen, the trustees of
the Corcoran Art Gallery made to-
day free day, keeping the gallery
open from till 4 o'clock. Among
the arrivals at the Ebbitt House is
the Overman Wheel Band OF forty
pieces.
Among the women riders is Miss
Sadie Brooks, who rode over from
Baltimore yesterday, distance of
forty miles, in company with her
father and other members of the
Centaur Club. Perhaps the most
striking trio at the meet is Mr.. L.
s. Bennett, of Shieksbiuny, Pa, and
his two little boys, Guy and Eddie,
the youngest cyclists in the world.
Eddie, the younger Of the two, is but
two years and three months old.
Guy, the elder, is four, and is re-
markably clever trick rider. He will
probably give an exhibition either
on Analstan Island or on the Airing
ton Plaza before the end of the meet.

THE DAWSON Concert given at
the Waldwick church the past week
was brilliant success, and we may
venture to assert that all left at its
conclusion, not only satisfied but
surprised at the excellency of the
entertainment. 1t is, we admit, a
hard tact to please everybody, but
Mr.. Dan Davisson and his talented
family, assisted by Mr.. James Pile,
evidently succeeded in doing so.
Mrs. Slater is truly an artist, and it
is only natural that the public at
large express sincere wish that
she no longer bury her accomplis h.
ments amid the quiet of her own
home, but appear before them
again and often. She, accompanied
by her sister Lenore Davisson, form
a study worthy of the stage in its
best days. Lenore was remarkably
successful with her fetching songs
and musical ability. Weldon
Davisson is irresistibly funny with
his sparkling wit and facial powers
which added not little to the
amusement of the evening. As for
"dear old Dan," we are always
pleased to see him, and to hear the
sweet well known voice recounting
Of "the only Book that's lelt me
now" not only thrills the audience
with emotion but shows a glimpse
of the inner man. Fayette is their
next field, and the people who re-
side there may look forward to a
great treat. ONE WHO WAS THERE.

Who Can Explain?

AT the annual session of our
county board last November a tax
of $8,084,. 43 was levied for school
purposes, and by reason of a mis-
construction of the secretary of
states certificate to the county clerk
the sum proved to be s., ,83l. 81 short
of what it ought to be. To enable
the several towns of the county to
receive their portion of the state
school fund, this deficit had 10 be
made good, and the board at its
special session held this month re-
levied for that purpose. But there
is an enigma in connection with the
last levy, which we have been asked
to explain, but cannot, and would
be glad to have anyone else do SO.
The second levy is altogether out Of
proportion with the first. For
instance: Per the frst levy the city
of Dodgeville was to raise 1869 .93,
and only $79l7 as her share to
make good the deficit; while the
town of Mineral Point was first
required to raise $495.43, and then
was called on for $l71.95 to help
raise the deficiency; Highland at
first $870.4O, second $4l1.24, and so
on. This seems entirely void of
proportion as between first and
second leyies. Highland, it will be
seen, has had to raise nearly one
half as much again, and the city of
Dodgeville but little more than one
eighth. Several towns fare about
the same as Highland, others are re-
quired to raise about one-third as
much again, and some about one
fourth. Why is it thus? Who
can explain?

yond doubt, the process resulted in
the young man taking from the bed
under where he laid an envelope
which contained nigh unto 5000.
He had spent some, but just how
much has not been learned. Mr..
Hartert arrested the young man,
and placed him in the city Jail for
the night, Tuesday a hearing was
had before Esquire Horn, who
bound him over in the sum of
$1,000 to appear at the next session
of the circuit court. Not getting
bail he was taken to the county Jail
on Wednesday. Young King is
about Is years of age, and was born
and raised in this city He has
been guilty before of petty larceny.
His last offense is serious one,
and he will most surely suffer severe
ly in consequence. 1t is hoped that
all possessed of an inclination to
do likewise, will consider the
trouble of this misguided young
man before il is too late.
