TRAIN WRECKERS ARRESTED

Two Brothers Accused Of the Diabolical
Crime the Santa Fe Near Barclay
Han.
Topeka, Kan. June 27.-The men
who caused the terrible wreck on the
eastbOund express train on the Atchi-
son. Topeka Il Santa Fe railroad two
miles east of Barclay on the morning OF
September 81. 1892, have finally been
run down. They are the two Webb
brothers and were arrested at their
home on farm near Barclay at 9
o'clock last night by the sheriff of
Csage county and lodged in Jail at
Lyndon.
The crime with which these men are
charged was one of the most diabolical
in the annals of Kansas. The tool
house was broken into at Barclay in
the night on section 20. After the
through freight had passed Barclay the
wreckers walked down the track to a
point where their was sharp curve on
an eight-foot embankment. The spikes
were drawn from one of the rails. the
fish plate removed and the rail pried
out of place. The passenger train was
due at that point just before o'clock.
1t was coming on a down grade at a
high rate of speed, and following the
misplaced rails dashed over the en-
bankment, the ears heap;ng themselves
one above the other.
Ed Maher, engineer: James Chad
wick, fireman, and Frank Baxter and
Jack Blumenthal were killed Twenty
five passengers were wounded, some
seriously.
The robbers became frightened and
fed without any further attempt at
robbery. although the express car con-
tanned a large amount of money.

in behalf of Schwab, Fielden and Neebe

The several thousand merchants. bankers,
judges, lawyers and other prominent citizens
Of Chicago, who have, by petition, by letter

NEW YORK. June 21.-The Suburban
handicap of 1898. the tenth in the his
tory of the event, was a most grievous
disappointment to the turf-loving pub
lie. Lamplighter. their idol. who was
looked upon as a sure victor in the
great race, was made to fall from the
high pedestal upon which he had been
placed and the halo of victory which
had gathered about him because of his
numerous successes. was completely dis
PEELED. He was vanquished strictly on
his merits, as the race was fairly run
from beginning to end. Lowlander, a
rank outsider, was the winner. The
purse was worth $4,000 to the first
horse and 81, 900 to the second.

Killed at a Circus.

| cial from River Falls, Wis. says: At 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon the large
circus tent of Ringing Bros. was struck
by lightning while crowded with peo-
pie, instantly killing eight and injur-
ing more than twenty.
The performance was not quite over,
but the terrible storm caused the i'm
mense throng to crowd out of the tent.
While the people were passing out the
tent was struck twice by lightning with
the above result Fire started, but was
eXtinguished.
Seven were killed instantly, few
more are injured and the balance are
now regaining the normal use of their
limbs, which had been temporarily
paralyzed by the shock. The scene of
CONSERVATION which followed when the
survivors realized the extent of the
fatality surpasses description; when
men and women surged toward the
scene and it was only by the exercise
of rare presence of mind on the part of
Messrs. Ringing and their employees
that serious and probably total SIAM
pede was averted. The Ringlings did
everything possible to alleviate the
sufferings of the injured. Rough can
vas-men, stake-drivers, and animal at
tendants We'd with one another in their
attentions to the wounded.

ABOUT THAT SUICIDE.

DR. Dwight, who was in town yesterday,
made a statement concerning the suicide
of Mrs. Mccormick, who lived near Mt.
Hope, practically as follows:
Mrs. Mccormick has been suffering for
a number of years with a mental disease
which at times caused her to have hallu-
cinations, which would last her but a
short time: then she would recover and
be herself again.
A few months ago her disease took a
more serious turn, and she began to suffer
from a mild form of mauia. which gradu-
ally became more pronounced, and 1t re-
oared constant watching to guard her
from doing herself bodily harm. 1t has
been for weeks the custom of the family
to keep under lock all sharp implements.
fearing that she would harm herself or
others.
Some time during Sunday evening she
succeeded in procuring a knife from the
pantry. and while the other members of
the family were asleep she severed the
large veins in her neck, causing immediate
death

A LAWYERS BLUFF.

A man who came up from Perry last
night says that at Perry theiprevious day
there WAS little excitement. Sam Bur-
res, Bob Burnett and Bert Watts were
there and they met an attorney who took
their money and promised to make their
filings before probate judge and di.ln'
do it. They demanded a return of their
money and the attorney refused, where
upon Bob Burnet promptly Knocked the
lawyer down. AS soon MS the attorney
could regain his feet he started for his
Winchester in his tent, but on turning
around he found that he had run up
against two revolvers in the hands of Bur.
res and Watts. The lawyer gave the idea
OF the Winchester up aud no further
trouble socoured. Mr.. Fechheimer says
that there are several local fights at Perry
every day which are exciting and in which
bloodshed is barely averted.

FOUND lNStNE.

Z N. Fauley o. Mount Hope was tried
yesterday in the probate court for insanity
by jury consisting of Dr. McClees and
Messrs. Harrison. Dewey, Hidden. Dav is
and Roche who, after being out reasona-
bic time. agreed that the defendant WAS
afflicted with a mild typ. OF insanity.
Messrs. Randall. Merryfieid. L.onhart
and DR.. Dwight of Mount Hope were the
witnesses in the case. All testified to
having known Fauiey for six or seven
years and that his habits and manners
were so changed that it was their opinion,
as well as the opinion of all IN the Mount
Hope community. that he was mentally
unbalanced Tie fact of the matter is a
suicide committed at Mount Hope
a few days FASTENED the inquiry into the
sanity Of Mr.. Fauley and had it not been
for that probably NO action would be taken
as Mr. Fauley was not looked upon rs un-
usually dangerous to himself or anybody
about him. Up till about four or five
mouths ago Mr.. Fauley was reputed to be
one of the best citizens of MI. Hope. He
was of quiet disposition, hard worker
and remained close to bis own fireside dur
ing the time he was pursuing his regular
vacation. He became the victim OF bad
case of la grippe and after that his habits
and manners became entirely changed. He
would leave home for few days at u time
without giving any explanation for
his action and many times came to
Wichita, on TRAN il he rad money and
when he hadn't he would walk in. An
other feature Of his insanity was that he
would bother the merchants day after
day by pretending to want goods and
never bought any. Again his mania
branched out into ascertaining the finan-
cial condition of the people, and he poured
over almanacs aud such things. supposing
them to be Dun's report OF the COM
mercial standing of the merchants. He
never attempted to harm anybody and as
he had always been we'll liked no par
ticular attention was paid to his mental
condition till the suicide few nights ago
impressed the fact on the leading citizens
that it would be well to have him taken
care of in an asylum.

ON THE kOAE TO RECOVERY.

Owen Scott, the man who was assaulted
and injured so badly Sunday night, is
getting along nicely at the st. Francis
hospital and everything is favorable to his
recovery, although his life was not worth
five cents, apparently, Monday. The
fracture is healing nicely and he was so
far advanced or the road to recovery yes
terday that he was able to give partial
account of the assault which came SO near
costing him his life.

A GOOD RAIN.

The rain of Thursday night and early
yesterday morning was a good one and
seemed to be general all over the SOUTH
west. The rainfall in this city was about
an inch and half, while at Dodge City it
was nearly an inch and three-quarters.
The rain was not so heavy in Oklahoma,
but it was sufficient to help the grass. and
in few days the pasturage will be good.
