ABB BUCHANAN KILLED ON TIE "qEwIKY,"
LAST EVENING.
BE Fell From a Car at Middle Ferry, and Was
Not Missed for Some Tims-Ihs Re
mains Brought Here.

When what is known as the day
freight left Wheeling Junction, at 5:25
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Abra-
ham Buchanan, residing at Sixth
and West streets, this city, was on duty
as centre brakeman. When the train
arrived at Wellsburg, Buchanan was
missing, and Jean st. Myers, conductor
of the freight, fearing that he had fall
en- from the train, telegraphed back to
the passenger train which arrives here
at 6:25 D. m. TO look out for the missing
man. The crew Of the passenger train
found the mangled body Of Buchanan
lying on the track at Middle
Ferry, about two miles this side
OF the Junction, and the re-
mains were place on board and brought
to this city, arriving about half-past
six. Mendel g. Co. were notified and
the body was removed TO their under-
taking rooms, where Coroner Schultze
held an inquest later in the evening,
and returned o verdict OF accidental
death. How the unfortunate man came
to fall from the top Of the car will prob
ably never be known, but he likely lost
his footing in stepping from one car to
another, falling upon the track. His
body was cut In two at about the waist,
and was otherwise terribly mangled.
Buchanan was twenty-three years OF
age, unmarried. and was the only sup
port Of a widowed mother, three broth
ers and a sister. He had been employed
on the road for four years and was a
faithful and careful man. The terrible
news Of his death occasioned much re-
gret In the upper portion OF the city,
where he was we'll known, last evening.

KIDNAPPED"
At the Opera House kidnapped" q
new m~elodrama, will be the attraction
for October 18th and 14th. The popular
demand for realism has led TO the pro-
duction OF effects on the stage that At
one time was hardly dreamed OF.
Thus we have had tanksof real water,
genuine fire engines, steam locomotives,
etc. Now we are promised more real
ism in kidnapped" which, of course,
will show US the genuine police patrol
wagon and horses. While the play is a
production Of recent date, the press OF
New York City seem to have taken very
kindly to 1t. The Morning Journal re-
Gently said:
''There can be no doubt Of the success
Of Kidnapped 1t is an intensely strong
play, perfectly presented, The scenery
and mechanical devices, the play itself
and the company all command respect
full attention and are worthy OF consid-
GRAFTON. The abduction scene is decid-
eddy novel, and aroused the audience to
the highest pitch. Altogether the per-
formance was thoroughly enjoyable,
and we Kidnapped a HIT"

prices 25 and so cents.
A CLEVER ARTIST.
Magician Powell, fresh from the lau.
rels Of a three years. trip In South
America, proved to be wonderfully
clever and entertaining. His many
tricks and illusions were, with perhaps
one or two exceptions, entirely new to
4 New York audience and bat1ied any
attempt at solution. His marvellous
slight-of-haDd, backed up with many
intricate mechanical effects, made the
performance fall only short OF the su-
pernatural. Mr.. Powell's Illusion,
"She," in which Mile. Vera is appar-
emily burned to ashes and disappears
from view, was new and fairly amazed
the large audience present" =

Keith dynamo, made by the Electrical
Engineering Company of San Francisco,
the pioneer mandatory of electric light
ing and power machinery on this coast.
Incandescent lights are used through
out the building, from the press-room on
the ground floor to the composing and
stereotyping- in the third story.
The burners and shades used are of the
latest improved patterns, and the light is
far superior to that obtained from either
oil or gas. The new style of frosted
shades admirably temper the rays of
light, and none Of the objections that
were few years ago urged against the
general use of electricity for the lighting
of rooms now exist.
The quality of the light furnished by
the new Keith dynamo is indeed superior
to that Of most others, while the machine
itself runs so steadily and smoothly that
there is never flicker in the burner.
The proprietors of the Capital Electric
I Works, after repeated experiments with
the machines of various manufacturers,
have concluded to recommend to their
customers the dynamos and motors made
by the Electrical Engineering Company
OF San Francisco as superior to all others.
A large majority of the stationary cleo
tric-motors in use in this city were made
by that company. These machines are
also sold and put in operation by the
Capital Electrical Works in this city.
In addition to the thorough lighting of
the interior of the RECoRD-UNIoN build
ing, the managers have also supplied
powerful arc-light for the benefit of the
public, and which Eliminates the street
in front of the building and also the alley
between Third and Fourth streets, rem
dering it possible for person to find his
way through that thoroughfare after
nlphtfall.

The Father of Many Ills.

Constipation leads to multitude OF
physical troubles. 1t is generally the re-
suit of carelessness or Indifference to the
simplest rule of health. Eugene Mckay
of Brantford, Ont, writes:
81 had for several years been a sufferer
from constipation, had taken great
many different remedies, some of which
did me good for time but only for a
time, then my trouble came back worse
than ever. l was induced by friend,
whom BRANDRETH's PILLS had bene-
fitted, to try them. Took two each night
for week, then one every night for
about six weeks. Since that time / have
not experienced the slightest difficulty
whatever, and my bowels move regularly
every day. l believe firmly that for
sluggishness of the bowels and bilious
ness BRANDRETH's PILLS are far superior
to any other"

Points About the " Record-Union's'
New Electric Plant.
The Building Lighted from Cellar to

Recently the RECoRD-UNIoN decided to
dispense with gas and oil and to have its
building lighted throughout by cleo
tricity. Delays were frequent, in conse-
quence of experiments with dynamos of
varying capacity, but now the system is
complete, and there is no newspaper es-
adjustment in the Union that can boast
of being better lighted than that of the
RECoRD-UNIoN. The contract for put
ting in the plant was given to the Capital
Electric Works, at $40 K street, in this
city, of which w. II. Potter is Manager,
c. E. Stubs, Secretary, and d. NJ.
Cooper, Superintendent. The same firm
had done considerable work of the kind
in this city and other parts of the State
and had given such excellent satisfaction
that the RECoRD-UNIoN was more than
pleased at the opportunity TO deal with a
home industry.

LANGENBAUMs AssA1LANT.
Danielson Was Drunk and Could No
Remember ANYTHING

Danielson Was Drunk and Could Not
Remember Anything.
The most interesting case in the Police
Court yesterday morning was that of A.
Danielson, charged with recently assault
ing Nicholas Langenbaum, a night
Waterman for the Buffalo Brewery.
Langenbaum said the night of the as
sault he wandered from his retreat to see
II anyone was disturbing the peace of his
chickens. When he was down by the
railroad track Danielson asked him what
time the next train would be along, and a
few seconds later he struck him with
something, but he could not tell what.
His neck was bruised thereby.
Danielson started to run and Langen-
baum commanded him to stop, but he
didn't, and three shots were fired TO try
10 scare him. Later another was fired to
no effect, Langenbaum in the meantime
pursuing Danielson. He could not over
take him and he fired fifth time, on this
occasion trying to hit the fleeing man.
The night-watchman said when DAN
lelson was arrested few days after he
admitted to Chief Rogers that Langen-
baum shot at him, and he wanted the
Waterman placed under bonds as well as
himself.
Mrs. Gardner was called to testify that
the wife of the defendant told her that
her husband was the one who was shot
at, but her testimony was ruled out as
hearsay.
A gentleman named Smith testified
that on the night of the assault he met the
defendant, who had "sociable jag'' on.
he took couple Of drinks with MIN and
plloted him part ways home.
Dan1elson said he is a switchman in the
railroad yards. The night of the alleged
assault he came down town, got few
'slugs" in him and then started for home
on street-car. He got off before riding
very far, but he did not know how. He
said he was so drunk that he could not
remember anything, and he did not
know anything until he woke up in bed
IN the morning with his clothes and
boots on.
To Prosecuting Attorney Post Daniel
son said he wore a 'lamby," or net
Jacket, the night of the assault and not a
coat as testified by the complaining wit
ness.
Mrs. Danielson corroborated the state
ment that her husband was insensibly
drunk.
Judge Buckley, in rendering his deci-
SION, said Danielsou was so very drunk
he did not know what he was doing, most
likely, and he would make the fine very
hight. Danielson paid 81 80 and was
given his freedom.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
Road Wanted Through the Dillman
Tract-Coyle's Claim Settled.

Tract-Coyle's Claim Settled.
At the session of the Board of Super
visors yesterday morning David u. Hollo-
way, G. 2. Curtis and A. G. VIM were
appointed viewers for a new road petit
toned for by A. Schaden and others
through the Dillman tract, from Oak
Park to the upper Stockton road. The
road, if opened, will be great convent
ence to school children on their way to
school, as well as to the residents of the
neighborhood and others wishing to go to
Oak Park.
James Coyle appeared before the board
and stated that the viewers of the road
opened up through the Louisiana tract,
and which took strip forty feet wide and
a quarter of mile long from his farm,
had only awarded him $3.50 damages for
the land taken. He considered the land
compromise by taking the money if the
fence.
The board did not think it could legally
do so, and thought it would be best for
both parties that he accept the damages
awarded and give deed for the land. 1t
was found by an examination of the
records of the board that the report of the
viewers had been accepted and the money
set aside for Coyle by the County Treas
urer.
Mr. Coyle finally agreed to give the deed
and accept the award, and later in the day
this was done.
The board passed the remainder of the
day in examining and passing upon bills,
and took recess till 10 A. NJ. to-day.

The Executors Ask Permission to Sell
Off the Real Property

The Executors Ask Permission to Sell
Off the Real Property.
f. L. Barker, Octavine c. Booth and
W. NJ. Marvin, executors of the estate of
Newton Booth, deceased, have petitioned

the Brighton road comprising 534 acres.
The hearing is set for May 2lst.
The petition states that the indebted
ness of the estate will not exceed $4,000:
that the expense of administering is esti-
mated to amount to $4,000, and that the
real estate is appraised at the total value
of S4l, 800.

LOOKS LIKE A CLEW.
A Pair of Trousers With Bullet Holes
in Them.
Louis Todhunter's Slayers Now Be-
lieved to be Aliye-Further
Search to be Made.

Constable Todhunter of Washington,
accompanied by Reynolds, the fisherman,
and Herget-the man who identified the
green duck-boat found near the American
River bridge as one stolen from his
place-were in the city yesterday, and
from them some additional particulars
were learned with regard to the Tod
hunter murderers.
The impression Is gaining ground that
they were not drowned, but in some way
escaped from the island where they
to this side of the river.
THE BLOODY PANTS.
The pair of pants found in the brush
near the boat have two small holes in
them little above the knee of the left
leg, showing apparently where bullet
entered on one side and emerged on the
other, which is the inner side of the leg.
1t also went out little higher than where
it entered. Todhunter states that his
brother was sitting down when ne fired,
while the man whom he shot at was
standing up, and this might account for
the relative position of the bullet holes.
II @ has always said that If the man was
found to be wounded IL would be on the
left side.
The cloth between the holes is soaked
with blood, or what appears to be blood.
There was blood also on the left side OF
the boat occupied by the men at the time
of the shooting, and also on the brush on
the left side of where they had tied it,
where bloody hand had grasped the
bushes. The pants also were ripped or
torn behind, the material hanging loose.
Those who saw the two men who visited
Haedrich's saloon on the day succeeding
the shooting say the shorter one had a
loose patch hanging from the seat of his
pants. 1t looks, therefore, very much as
though the garment found near The
American River belonged to the younger
of the two men.
OPERATED AT AUBURN.
1t is learned that two men, answering
the description of the counterteiters,
hung around Auburn last January, vic
timiZing people by the same methods en-
ployed on residents in Colusa County
about the time. Suspicion was aroused
and the officers began to look for them
| they disappeared. They bought eggs 1or
counterfeit dollars just as in this case.
WERE THEY IN THIS CITY?
A circumstance that may have some
significance happened last Monday even
ing. 4 boy was lying under a tree in the
street, about o'clock, when short anG
tall man passed along engaged in con.
versation. He overheard one of them
say to the other:
''They don't know we are in town to.
night, and won't think of our coming
| through here. You stay with me, and
think we can get across without any
trouble"
They passed on, and as the boy thought
nothing more of the incident he did not
mention it until last evening, when his
father happened to speak of the murder
ers and described them. 1t would be g
bold course for them to take, but by
crossing the city early in the evening
| they could be some distance away before
morning.
A party has been made up to explore
the brush along the American River to-
day, and something interesting may be
developed.

CUTTING SCRAPE AVERTED.
windy Douglass Alleged to Hav
Pulled a Knife

windy Douglass Alleged to Have
Pulled n Knife.
Yesterday afternoon at Twentieth and
streets there was considerable excite
ment for while. 1t appears that some
time ago the youngest son OF Silas Chance
purchased buggy from man known as
Windy" Douglass, which has not been
paid for.
Douglass was on the warpath yesterday
and it is alleged he wanted the cart re-
turned, or threatened gore would flow.
he met Silas Chance, father of the young
man, and asked him to convey a message
to his son, which he refused to do. Doug
lass also asked brother OF young Chance
to take the message, when hot words fol-
lowed.
Chances son says Douglass called him
a hard name and he got up to resent the
insult, when Douglass pulled a three
inch knife, but was prevented from using
1t by the intervention of a bystander
The elder Chance was at the police sta
ton last night to swear out a warrant for
Douglass arrest.

Louis Wren Had no Defense for Steal
Ing Armor Robinson's Clothing.
Louis Wren was held to answer by
Judge Buckley yesterday morning to APP
pear before the Superior Court for steal
ing an overcoat, suit of clothes, valise
