turned one day early. Capt Carroll re-
ports the weather little thick part Of the

SENSATIONAL TO THE LAST,
Peculiar Suicide of a News
paper Man.
Puts His Neck on a Railroad Track
and Allows Train to
Pass Over 1t.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-[ Associated Press. ]
promises to develop into a
sensational suicide occurred today on
the railroad track at the foot of Monroe
street. From papers found on the sui
cide's body, he is believed to be Henry
Kerchaw, editor and manager Of the
New Orleans Commercial.
Early this morning the police at the
Central detail station saw we'll dress
ed man standing on the railroad tracks,
apparently engrossed in deep thought
A long freight train was approaching,
and as it drew near him the man threw
himself upon the track and placed his
neck across the rail.
Police Lieutenant Hayes and two
patrolmen hastened from the station
but were too late. The train reached
the man before they had crossed hal
the intervening space and severed tht
suicides head from his body. As sool
as he was discovered the train wal
stopped and the mangled remains re
moved to morgue.
Letters found in the mans pocket
led to his Identification, and the con
tents, if true, tell a sensational story

WASHINGTON.
The Test of Strength
Begins in Earnest.
Senator Allen Speaks
for Fifteen Hours.
Amendments to the Bill Are
Now to Be Proposed.
Senator Jones of Arkansas Has a
Compromise Scheme That
May Be Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-[Associated
Press. THE test of physical strength
has begun in earnest in the senate.
All night long Senator Allen of Ne
braska, held the floor, interrupted by
an occasional ill-tempered coIloquoy or
roll call, which dragged the sleeping
senators from the cloak rooms. Gray
dawn still found Allen holding the
fort in the great struggle against un.
conditional repeal. Allen concluded at
a quarter past eight, after holding the
floor fifteen hours. Senator Martin, oi
Kansas, was to follow, but Senator
Voorhees, interposed a motion to lay
Senator Peffer's free coinage amend
ment to the repeal bill on the table and
roll call began thereon. After several
attempts a vote of fifty senators was
recorded, yeas 33, noes II, and Peffer's
amendment was tabled. Martin was
then recognized to discuss the cues
ton.
1t was 9 O'Clock when Senator Martin
began his plea for the free coinage oi
silver. He was frequently interrupted
by demands for roll call. At l 80 he
was still holding the floor. The pro
gram of the silver men is to have Sen.
ator Teller or Senator Jones to follow
Senator Martin, and Senator Stewart to
follow them. They assert they are in 9
position to 60 on indefinitely and that
the physical endurance of the question
having been forced on them, they are
determined to carry it to legitimate
conclusion.
An incomplete canvass of the senate
at 2 D. m., indicates the general opinion
that the continuous session will last a.
least through tonight. Senator Voor
hees denounces unqualifedly the state
ment published in some quarters to the
effect that Carlisle and German haC
agreed on a compromise to be pu
through the senate by Senator Voorhees,
He declared the administration was no
seeking compromise. Senator Harri.
had proposed an amendment to sus
pend the silver purchase bill and tina
the silver now in the treasury be coined
then to coin blank amount monthly
doing away with all small notes.
The silver Democrats are not inclined
to accept the amendment. Senate
Jones, of Arkansas, will introduce al
amend dment for the coinage of two ant
a half millions monthly for four years
He thinks the silver men will accept i

YUMA, Ariz.. Oct. 12.-[Associated
Press. ]-Several days ago Loreto Villa,
in charge of the cattle herds of the Alli-
son brothers, along the Cocopa noun
tains, left Black Butte for Campo, Cal.
Wednesday last his mule returned to
camp without him. A search was in
stituted, which resulted in the finding
of his saddle hanging on bush, about
mile from camp. The Cocopa Indians
followed the mules tracks back 10 Des-
ert Springs, about half way between
Signal mountains and Coyote wells,
where Villas tracks showed that he lad
got off his mule to water him at the
spring, when the mule, which was a
bad one, got away and ran home, dis
tance of forty miles.
Villa tried to follow and when he had
gone about half way wandered off into
the sand hills. where he threw away
his shoes and where his tracks were OBJ
liberated by the winds. The tracks OF
two other men were also found in the
same sand hills. They are supposed to
be those OF two prospectors named Ross
and Williams. These and three more
names to the deserts dead and these
perished in sight of the spot where the

a year ago.
Word has been received that an In

Yuma had found the body of an Amer

From the description given it is be-
lieved to be that of Conrad Davids, who
left here on prospecting trip about
four months ago, in company with J
W. Baker. They were from Clifton
Ariz. They camped about 20 miles
west of the Colorado river and while
prospecting became separated. +.
Baker followed Davids' tracks for
three days, but WAS unsuccessful in his
search. The remains were found about
Is miles from where Baker gave up the
search when the tracks disappeared
Davids' watch and $33 in money were
found in his pockets. The remains
were buried where they were found.

Metallic Tin on Cloth.

A new process, invented in Germany,
allows brilliant and flexible stratum
of tin to be deposited upon cotton fiber
A paste is first made of the powdered
zinc of commerce and white of egg and
spread on the material by means of a
brush. This is then coagulated after
drying by current of superheated
steam and the tissue is then introduced
into bath of perchloride of tin. The
metal precipitates on the zinc in fine
ly divided state and after rinsing and
drying the cloth it is passed through
cylinders or calenders, which give bril-
lance to the coat of tin Beautiful
metallic designs may be obtained i'm
this way. 1t is stated that the process
may be substituted entirely for the or
binary method of ornamenting cloth
with tinfoiL
