a sensation in st. Joseph, Mo-, and which is
of local interest because the reported bride

LUCAS HELD.
His Story of Ollie Taylor's Death Last
Week.

Yesterday the inquest was held over the
remains of Ollie Taylor, who died at the
Emergency Hospital Sunday, after having
been kicked and struck on the head by
John Lucas the Wednesday preceding
while drunk and in jealous rage.
The witnesses called were Hattie Lucas
the prisoners wife; Lille Gaskins, Susan
Limerick. Lizzie Morgan, Scott Hamel and
Officer Cooney. The jurors were Frank
Thomas, James Gallagher, Robert Pettitt
Harry Volkman, John Fister and Samuel
H. King. The testimony of all these was
substantially as that published in The Star
relative to the mans death.
Lucas. who was brought from jail, made
rambling statement. He was very nerv-
Gus. In the course of his talk he said he
did not strike Taylor with the wooden po-
tato maSher as evidence showed, but that
all blows were struck with his foot or fist.
The. potato masher. nevertheless, has
blood upon it. After due consideration the
jury rendered verdict to the effect that
Ollie Taylor came to his death through the
infection of blows in the stomach and head
received on Wednesday, October o. and
from the evidence John Lucas was the re-
sponsible party. 1t was, therefore, directed
that he be held for the grand jury.
Prisoners Statement.
This morning a Star reporter talked to
Lucas in his cell at the seventh pre-
cinct where he is temporarily. Lucas is
rather Withholding yellow fellow, forty
five years of age, and wears the clothes of
a laborer. Recently he worked for Mr.. J.
Maury Dove, unloading boats.
He was much agitated while speaking.
He said that his wife left him over a
week ago, moving from st. Mary's court.
Washington, to Olive street, Georgetown,
while he was at work
When he went home he found the house
deserted.
He had discovered. he said, that her
said. to escape interference from him. She
took everything with her, even his clothes.
He hunted and finally located her.
When he approached the house his wife
was standing a. the door. She refused
to let him in. He pushed her aside and
entered, demanding his clothes. She
cursed him. He then started upstairs.
You will get hi knocked out of you,''
she said 'if you go up there" He went
and met Ollie Taylor. They came down
stairs together. Lucas demanded by what
right he was under his wife's roof. High
words came and then, Lucas says, Taylor
struck him blow. This Infatuated him
and he began his attack. He had no
thought of killing. the man. The anger of
the moment melted retaliation. The mans
death has thrown him into deep grief.
Lucas says his wife frequently told him
that Ollie Taylor had taken advantage of
his absence to make familiar advances to
her.

had come under her observation where
fallen women had been brought back to an
honest life and where others have been kept
from falling.
Two Questions Answered.
At the conclusion of her remarks one of
the delegates rose in his place on the floor
of the church and asked if he might put
couple of questions to Mrs. Sbthorpe for
the information of others who are engaged
in the same sort of work.
GLOW long do you keep a girl in your
home. Mrs. Sibthorpe?"
las long as is necessary. We always say
that we want them to stay at least month
and as much longer as they care to stay.
We have two women who have been with
us for the last five years.
and how many times will you take back
a girl who runs away without your con-
sent?"
I'VE take them back-even to seventy
times seven times
Amen" Praise the Lord "Allelujah."

enlargement from all parts of the church

Roosevelt Scores German.

The republicans openedI their campaign in
Baltimore last night with mass meeting
at Music Hall. Tho attractions were ex-
Congressman John ", l., Findlay, who rep
resented the fourth Maryland district as a
democrat, and Theodore Roosevelt, the New
York police commissioner. They made
speeches and were cheered. All the leading
republican candidates were also on the
stage and spoke.
Mr.. Roosevelt's address was largely given
up to fair elections and civil service prac-
tees. T.
He paid his respects to Senator German
by saying that he had detected him in an
outrageous falsehood, and broadly init
mated that Maryland's senior Senator could
rot be trusted in any position.

At the opening of the second days Ses-

at Foundry Church this morning there
was an attendance even larger than yes
terday morning. But it was at the meet
ing last evening that the greatest interest
and enthusiasm were shown. The big
church was crowded to its utmost capac
ity and the audience was warmed to a
high pitch of religious fervor by the re-
ports of rescue work, as we'll by the
music Of the Silver Lake Quartet, which
was of a highly emotional character.
Mr.. George w. Havell a director of the
Central Union Mission, conducted the song
and praise service, which began the eX-

The Northwestern issues the
same kind Of policy to the elder
at a SMALLER PREMIUM than is
given the younger by the New
York Life, and gives more diVi-
dendS in ten years than the New
York Life does in The entire IL.
-@-
Edward d. Moore was insured for $1,000 by
New York Life, Aug %, 1880, at age %, annual
premium S66 OF, under policy No. 1854
fifteen year endowment with annual dividend
additions.
TIE policy matured Aug. % 1895, and he was
paid Sl167O9, making an Investment of about two
per cent compound interest for the Is years.
Edward II. Moore was insured by the North
western for $1,000 Sept. 2j 1884, at age 90 annual
premium S64.76, under policy No. i20 4Sg,-a if
teen year endowment with annual dividend addi-
tons.
The additions in 1884, at end of ten years, were
Sl1.OO, making an Investment Of over four per
cent compound interest for the ten years.
The two policies similar, except as regards
age and premium. The premium being 81 90
less at age 30 in the Northwestern than al ap- %
in the New York Life, while the dividend addi-
tions are 81 more at end of ten years in North
western than at end of fifteen years in New York

These home facts ought to have great force

no more except in the strongest, safest best and
most profitable company in the U. 5.
