And Now Miss Bartlett Wants $3.50, 900
From Her Dead frances Estate.
Boston. Sept 22.-One Of the most pc
culiar cases on record is reported here.
Miss Mary E. Bartlett, late of Maiden,
has brought suit for $4,000 damages
against the estate of the late Dr. Henry
j. BigelOw for alleged breach of promise
of marriage, made by the doctor some
time before his death.
She says that she fully believes that
the doctor would have kept his promise
to wed her had not death interviewed.
After his death Miss Bartlett tried
to recover from his executors $4,000
which she said the doctor promised her
if she remained true to him, but they re-
fused to surrender that sum. The suit
will be tried in the Middlesex court next
week.
DR. Bigelow was one Of the best known
surgeons of the country. For more than
thirty years he was professor of surgery
at Harvard, retiring from that place in
1884 He was known throughout the
world as one of the leaders OF anatomical
research, and some of his works are rec
egnizsd as standards.

DIED IN A COLLISION.
Burdette Hartley Formerly OF Topeka
Killed in a Santa Fe Wreck

Burdette Hartley Formerly OF Topeka
Killed in a Santa re wreck
Burdette Hartley, a popular young
fireman on the Santa Fe, was killed at
Elmdale this morning in freight train
collision.
The collision was a "rear end" one and
occurred at 4:56 d N.
Extra train engine GIT. was standing
at the depot Il was eastbouud and the
way car was at the east end of the plat
form when regular train N o. b engine
No. 794, Engineer McCauley, also east
bound, pulled into the station and ran
into it.
Elmdale is a small station six and one
half miles west of Strong City. The re-
ports at the general Offices are very
meagre as yet and il is net probable that
a full report will be received until Sup
erintendent Turner has made 4 more
thorough investigation.
There was no oa0 in the way car and
all except Hartley esca ped serious in
jury. The trains were badly wrecked.
1t is not known at the Offices who is to
blame for the wreck. The extra train
should not have been standing there,
General superintendent Nudge says.
without having sent a hagman. The
engineer on the regular train is to some
extent eKcusabIe because the accident
occurred on a curve and it Is possible
that he could not sec the rear light OF
the train ahead until it was too late to
stop.
Burdette Hartley had been a fireman
on the Santa Fe for about eight months.
Prior to that time he had been employ
ed in the shops here and had many
friends. He was only twenty-three
years of age and lived with
his parents on Adams street until
a few weeks ago. when he was trans
ferred to Argentine, and has since been
running out of that place over the Empo-
ria cutoff to Newton.
About two weeks ago his father, who
was formerly employed in the shops
here, left Adams street and moved to
Lawrence, where the family row lives,
and where the remains will probably be
inferred. He was a member of A O. U.
w. lodge, No. PA, of this city.
