SUPPOSED DEAD MAN ALIVE
Supposed Drowning Accident at Duluth De-
VeI0pS Into an Insurance SWndIe.

VeIOpS Into an Insurance SWindIe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 12.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made by detective
last night to arrest Frederick Krayen-
buhl at his home in suburb of Du-
luth. The latter grappled with
the officer and scared him by
shooting off pistol and escaped int
the house, whence he fed later via
basement window. The arrest was al
tempted IN response to telegram from
Phlladelphla stating that John Clark
and w. b. Gregg had been arrested for
trying to defraud insurance companies
out OF VA, 900 or more, placed on the
life of Gregg, who was reported to
have been drowned on July 20 while
on Lake Superior in a small boat with
Clark. Krayenbuhl was the beneficiary.
The amounts 50 far as known
were: United States Mutual Ac-
cident of New York and the
Mutual Life of New York, $4,000 each:
Fidelity Mutual of Philade1 phia and
North Western Mutual of Milwaukee,
$1,000 each.
On July q the story became current
that Clark and Gregg had been capsized
while out sailing and that Gregg had
been drowned. Clark told a story of
remarkable endurance, how after the
boat was capsized he had chung to
the overturned craft from 10 o'clock one
morning until 8 o'clock, when the boat
drifted on the north shore about eight
cen miles from Duluth. He righted
the boat, he said, and rowed
back to this city and going to
Kray enbuhl's house tainted over
the doorway. There were some
suspicious circumstances connected
with the case. Several weeks later it
developed that Gregg's life was insured
shortly before the time of his disap-
pearance and that the policies were
made out in favor of Krayenbuhl.
About the middle of August demand
was made for the insurance money, and
the company began investigation. Sew
eral special agents were sent here and
it was soon decided that there had
during the whole time Clark said
he was drifting on the north
shore the wind was blowing in an en-
tirely opposite direction. twas found,
too, from the testimony of vesselmen,
that no one could live in Lake Superior
for the length Of time Clark said he had
been drifting.
The matter resolved itself into aques-
ton as to whether Gregg was a party to
the fraud or whether he had been muir
dered. From vesselman it was finally
learned that Gregg had been seen at La
Polnte, small place on the Wisconsin
shore several days after the al
legged drowning episode, and from
arrest in Philadelphia, is a brother of
one of Duluth's merchants and all
those implicated are persons of good
standing.

Curious Train Wreck.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, Sept. ia most
singular collision happened this morn
ing about three-quarters of mile from
the Central depot at this place on ac-
count of the burned bridge between
here and Chippewa Falls. By a
misunderstanding of orders trains
from the Omaha and Central
depots pulled out together. The smoke
and fog was so thick that objects
could not be seen twenty feet away.
Where the Omaha track intercepts the
Central the two tracks lie parallel a
distance of 200 feet. Both trains were
running at a good rate of speed and
going the same way and each claiming
the same track. When they met there
was a grinding noise, the breaking OF
iron and both engines left the track,
the one on the special going into the
ditch. No one was hurtand by s o'clock
the track was cleared. Both engines
were badly damaged.

came wedged and lay with the boiling
mass pouring over him. When taken

pulp, about 600 pounds having flowed
over him literally cooking him through

tongue baked in his mouth Mas was

TUNIs, Sept. 13.-Of 5000 pilgrims who

add that of 700 Turkish troops

SHAPES FOR AUTUMN HATS.

The distinguishing characteristic of
the new hats for the fall season is that
they have wide brims and low crowns
Not that the crowns seem low, or even
that the brims seem SO wide after they
are trimmed, for the style of trimming
has tendency to modify both; but
they are low in comparison with the
towering loops and aigrettes which
have been SO prevalent for the past
few months.
The shapes are as eccentric as ever,
the brims being bent into every shape
conceivable, and the designs limited
only by the ability of the purchaser
to wear them becomingly. They are
not, however, SO universally devoid of
brim in the back as they have been,
and some of the shapes with very
decided brim at the back are not even
turned up at all. For people Of quiet
taste and those to whom the wide brims
are not becoming there is great va
riety of toques and turbans in almost
every degree of modification.

A recent work on sanitary engineer.
ing says that Damascus possesses, IN
all probability the oldest water works
in the world. The city itself is the
most ancient of existing cities, having
seen the rise and fall of the Greek and
Roman Empires, of Babylon, Nineveh,
Palmyra and Jerusalem. When taken
by the Saracens from the Romans the
water works already existed, and it is
probable that the latter constructed
the works which still exist and supply
the town. Damascus lies in valley
on the River Abana, which flows from
the Lebanon hills, and is lost in the
desert to the east of the town. In
spite of copious supply of excellent
water, Damascus has had no immunity
from epidemics, owing to the fact that
the double canalization for water sup
ply and drainage, being more or less
leaky, saturated the soil and raised the
spring level nearly to the surface, and
the sewers are rarely if ever cleaned,
are not systematically ventilated, and
they pass under many OF the houses.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
Damascus is.and always was an insalu-
brious town. New York Sun.

woMEN's S EATING.

Women should eat regularly, as men
do. They may plead that they are too
busy to take the time, and go on con-
quering the natural pangs of hunger
that assail them when the time to- eat
comes around, but every such omis-
sion leaves its mark on the constitu-
tion. Men are never SO occupied that
they cannot take the requisite time for
luncheon, and they eat sensibly when
they do sit down to their midday meal.
No frozen delicacies or indigestible
.Ieftovers for them. Their meal is such
that it nourishes and sustains them
during the trying duties of the day,
and it behooves a woman to follow
their example in order to avoid many
of the ills that are the direct results of
injudicious or irregular eating. st.

The paper wedding, which may be

very charming fete. At one not very
long ago the bride and guests wore
dresses and flowers of paper, the house
was decorated with marvellous paper
flowers, and plates and napkins were
of paper. The guests were requested
to come without gifts, but if one wills
it otherwise SO many beautiful things
can be fashioned out of little crepe
paper, that it is no grievous tax on
ones friends. Lamp shades, articles
for the dressing table and table
spreads are pretty gifts. Choice pho
tographs, etchings, books and sub
scription for magazine would give
more enduring pleasure at no very
great outlay. New York Telegram.

The Man Who Refused a Dukedom

An American girl in London writes
to The New York Press:
ST saw Mr.. Gladstone crossing Pic
cadilly Circus about o'clock this af-
ternoon. The crush was tremendous
buses, cabs, vans and struggling hui
manity on foot stopping the way
But everybody, from Bobby on
guard to the gamins crying the eve-
ming papers, recognized the Grand
Old Man.. Instantly hands were raised
and traffic suspended until the Premier
of England had safely passed the
London Rubicon. Every eye was CEN
tered upon the octogenarian. The man
about town withdrew his ardeut gazing
monocle from the passing tailor made
girl; the city man turned and for
the moment forgot his stocks and
shares; Lady Clara We're de We're
deigned to bestow passing glance
from the soft cushions of her aristo-
cratic rolling barouche-I even fancied
I saw turn of the eye from her pow
dered footman; Tommy Atkins of

and bop tail, in wild excitement
thronged in procession like the color

the London Queen, 81 happened to
meet German lady in Coblentz who
was travelling for Wholesale firm OF
drapers. She told me that, SO far as
she knew, she was then the only lady
commercial traveller son the road, at
least on the Continent. And / was
naturally curious to hear her experien-
ces. / imagined that the disadvantage
of sex would be especially felt IN the
constant travel, the continual contact
with business men, and the not lnfre-
quent rebuffs which the ambassadors
of commerce have to endure. But it
appeared that there was very large
field of business in which the wo-
man had a distinct advantage over
her male rival. It was not only in
matters of taste and in the quick APP
probation of changes in fashion that
she showed her superiority. The lady
of whom I am speaking travelled
mostly in the smaller towns and vii
lagos of the Rhine provinces. Now,
in these places, as in the country parts
of England, the shops are small and
often managed almost entirely by the
married woman, while her husband is
pursuing his daily occupation else
where as carpenter, field laborer and
go on. The ordinary commercial tra-
veler comes into the village shop with
half an hour to spare, and spreads his
samples. While the shop woman is
hesitating the baby begins to cry in
the room behind, or the pot announces
its intention of boiling over. Every
woman is mother first, then
cook, and last of all trader. The
traveller grows impatient; he is wasting
his time. Finally he decides that it is
not worth while to wait, as indeed it is
not. But the lady traveller goes to
work in a different way. Woman can
sympathize with woman. She in
stinctively infers the baby and the
pot-au-feu, and at the first alarm picks
up her samples and follows the shop
woman into the back parlor or the
kitchen. Here she listens to the do
mestic troubles Of her client and COM
mingles her tears and experiences.
Meanwhile she is rocking the cradle
with one hand and booking orders
with the other. In this way every one
is satisfied and no time is wasted. The
baby is soothed, the mother gets ON
with her housework, and the traveller
secures her client, effecting not merely
a paper union, founded on her firms
books, but union of hearts, based
on the sympathy Of woman for
woman; for sentiment is something,
even in business"
