HER FOREHEAD CRUSHED.
SIGHT WHICH THE HUNDREDS
OF WITNESSES WILL NEVER
FORGET.
MURDER OR A SUICIDE.
Body of John Thomas Found Life
less and COId-SIin City Mat
terS.

a terrible accident occurred short
ly after 10 o'clock last evening on
the street car tracks in front of the
Brunswick hotel, by which Tillie
Mansfield, a dining room girl at the
hotel, will probably lose her life.
The girl was out last evening, and at
the time mentioned was returning to
the hotel. At the corner OF Fourth
street and Hennepin avenue she was
struck by Cedar avenue car,
knocked to the pavement, and the
right side of her forehead crushed
so that the brains oozed out. The
sight was witnessed by a large num-
Der Of people. The cracking Of bones
could be heard across the street.
For few minutes the bystanders
stood motionless, and then kind
hands carried her into the hotel,
where she was attended by DR.. Sta
pies. She was unconscious, and it
was thought at II o'clock that she
would live but a short time.
The car was in charge of a motor
man named Philips and a conductor
named Evans, and was coming at an
ordinary rate Of speed. One of the
witnesses to the accident stated that
the motoneer rang his bell as he
reached the Fourth street crossing,
but did not stop. When the car
struck the girl the lever was re-
versed, and the car stopped before
the wheels struck her The appa-
ratus on the front of the car, how
ever, ground her head to the stone
pavement. Tillie Mansfield was
about twenty-four years of age, and
has been employed at the Brunswick
for some two years, and was very
highly spoken of. Her parents re-
side four miles out of Annandale.

summer, and In a manner to create
the BELIEF that she and Freddy Geb-
hard are already married. 1t is cur
rently reported at the great Jersey
resort that a quiet ceremony followed
a quiet divorce in June, and that a
honeymoon is now going on. Neither
will answer a question on the SUBJ
Ject They went to Long Branch about
July 4, and took rooms at the West
End hotel for a week. Now they are
domfciled in the former residence of
George w. Brown, an ex-mayor of
there in the same load with the LilyS,
his horses and carriages were put into
the barn, and he is a completely home
like dweller. So are Mrs. Langtry's
mother and two nieces, who lately
came from England. A corroboration
asaemblage of Mrs. Langtry's rela-
tiVeS under the same roof with Geb-
hard. But nobody else knows for
certainty. The positive announcement
of a marriage in September was re-
Gently made by eX-Judge Bedford and
two other members of the Union club
as having been made in Mrs. Langtry's
presence at dinner party, and as
Sented to by her. Subsequently she
SAID that a news article, in which that
story was told in connection with an
account of her California purchases of
property, was packed with lies. So
her curious neighborS at the seashore
can only guess at her while they
stare"
In 1890 Mrs. Langtry and Gebhard
quarreled and separated. Mrs. Lang
try went to England, and there formed
friendship for the late Squire" Abb
ingdon Baird. She is said to have lived
her a great amount of money, but is
said to have treated her badly. When
she offended him he whipped her.

AHEAD OF A BULLET.
Soul of john Thomas Takes Flight
Probable Suicide.

John Thomas, sometimes known as
George Galusha, q Slavonian, residing
at l02 Mill street, on the lower flats at
the west foot OF the Washington ave-
nue. south bridge, committed suicide
about 8 o'clock Saturday night by
shooting himself through the head
The body was found about $50 yester-
day morning by a twelve-year-old boy
in recess in the wood pile just back
of Thomas house.
The deed is supposed to have been
the result of a drunken fit of despond-
ency, although there were some theories
yesterday that it was a murder. For
the latter, however, there is no founda-
ton and it is but a plain case of sui
eide. Thomas has been employed on
the new reservoir. One week ago he got
paid OF and went on a big spree, from
winch he had not Sobered up. He has

George Thomas, who lives at 1G1 Mill
street. Thomas has been living with a
woman whom he called his wife at 1O2
Mill street. Saturday evening about s
o CLOCK he went TO his sons house, but
the two have been on bad terms for
some time, and the son would have
nothing to do with him. Thomas then
went back to his own home, and, going
up stairs, secured an old revolver.
coming. down he asked his wife to go
out with him, but she refused and he
left the house alone.
The neighbors say that about 9
O'Clock two shots were heard coming
from the rear of the house, but little
attention was paid to them. Another
man passing near the wood pile. which
IS quite near the river bank. saw
Thomas, but supposed him to be in a
drunken stupor and paid no attention
TO him. About 5 o'clock the boy found
the body and supposing Thomas to be
asleep, went to wake him up; saw the
blood and shouted for help. Thomas
was dead and had been so for hours.
the police were notified and Coroner
kistler summoned. The revolver was
lying under one of the legs, but the
coroner stated that the man had un-
doubtedly lived for half an hour after
shooting himself and had bled to death.
Inspector Stavlo and Officer Mike
SiVerling investigated the case with
the coroner and all came to the de-
cision that it was a plain case of sui
eide. A post morten examination was
performed upon the remains at the
county morgUe yesterday afternoon by
DR.: Ringnell. and this morning at 9
O'Clock Coroner KistIer will hold an in
quest at the morgue. Thomas was
siXty-seven years OF age. a number of
people knew Thomas as George Ca

that his right name was John Thomas.

the robbery of the company's safe
by its local cashier, J. Don Farden.
The city agent of the Vandalia
rallroad,J. Robert Barnett,is known
to be implicated in the crime, but
1T has not yet been disclosed if, in
addition to his participation in the
express company robbery, he has
taken bunch of California tickets.
Barnett was checked up on the 1st
inst, and therefore could not have
stolen more than 5000 or $500 in
cash from the Vandalia road. .Today's
disclosures develop the fact that the
robbery had been planned for the
last three months, and it is ascer-
tanned tonight that both Farden and
Barnett had packages of money in
their possession before leaving town

The belief is widespread that Far
den, who for many years past has

government and the express COM
pany, would not have run a.way with

CHILDREN WIN PRIZES.
Prof. Sanford COnfcrs Honors of
WOman1s Improvement I,ea~ue.

Last spring, when flower seeds were
given to the children in the schools
by the improvement league, a printed
slip was given to each child. If by
July he had succeeded in making a
garden he was to send a card to the
address on this slip, and the ladies
would come and examine his bed.
As the result of this examination
prizes were awarded fer the three best
beds in each school, and Prof. Sanford.
began yesterday TO distribute these
prizes. She visited the Webster the
Holland, the Humboldt and the Ever
EFT schools. Each of these schools
made an exhibit of flowers raised by
the children, and it was indeed a beau
tiful sight. The flowers We're of the
hardy varieties, marigolds, asters, etc,
which children can most successfully
cultivate. But tastefully arranged by
the teachers they made a fine effect.
especially when one felt the added
charm Of the fact that these flowers
had all been planted and tended by the
loving care of children. Prizes were
awarded at each of the schools Wis
tied.
The occasion was one which the chill
dren viii not soon forget, and it will
make them still more earnest and more
successful another year, when. per
haps, the exhibition will be D. public
one, in which all the schools will unite
The. Improvement league is doing a
work of lasting good in this effort to
teach the children to cultivate flowers.

STRANDED IN LONDON.
Negro Orphans Seek Aid to Re-
turn Home.

LONDON, Sept. 8-Rev., John Jen-
hns, colored, president of an orphan
age, accompanied by fourteen negroes
ranging in age from five to ten, has
made application to the magistrate OF
the Bow street police court for as
sistance to return to Charleston, S. C.
He said that the boys had formed
an orphanage band, and he had been
told by a committee OF pastors OF the
orphanage to bring them to London,
where they could perform and thus
raise money. He found that the laws
would not permit children under eleven
to perform in public, and they were
now stranded without money, and he
feared that they would starve. The
magistrate was unable to help the
party. The party arrived in England
on board the American line steamer
Paris, which arrived at Southampton
on Sept. 4. Gen. P. A. Collins, United
States consul general in London, said
that he could not assist them either.

Warriors Feast.

Taggart's Philadelphia Times.
War is a frightful thing under all
circumstances, and some of the most
dreadful wars have been waged on the
most fiimsy and foolish preteXt, even
if they had pretext at all; but prob
ably no stronger reason for war or
peace was ever recorded than has been
noted by a French governor of the
South Pacific colony of New Caledo-
MIA
This governor, who was also an ad-
miral of the navy, assumed his au-
thority while the natives OF New Cal
edonia were still cannibals. There had
been rumors of an insurrection, and
the admiral called before him a native
chief who was faithful to the French
cause, and questioned him as to their
truth.
"You may be sure" said the native,
that there will be no war at present,
because the yams are not yet ripe"
1.-The yams, you say?'
Yes. Our people never make war ex-
cept when the yams are ripe
"Why is that?''
Because baked yams go very well
with the captives.'

MONUMENT TO WAR WOMEN.
Minnesota Takes the Initiative in
Il Worthy Movement.

q Worthy Movement.
Minnesota has taken the initiative III
a movement TO raise funds with which
TO erect a monument in honor of the
loyal women of the war. The PROPOSE
ton has been under considera ton for
some time. Several evenings since
there was a meeting in Minneapolis of
quite q number of ladies and gentle
men VINO represented the Grand Army,
the Nomen's Relief corps, the Sons
OF NeteranS and other kindred OTgani-
cations. There was but one sentiment.
and that was in favor Of bringing the
matter up at the national encampment
OF the Grand Army at Louisville this
week. Commander Ell Torrance, of
the department Of Minnesota, who was
among the first to advocate the erec-
ton OF a monument in honor of the
loyal women who helped save the
Union, will present the matter at LOUIS
VIE, acung under instructions given
at the Minneapolis meeting.
There is & feeling among the Min
neapolis veterans who are going to at
tend the encampment that the PROPOSE
ton to thus honor the women who
were loyal in time of the nations
grea test trouble and peril will meet
with general favor among the dele
gates. There seems to be a feeling
among Minnesota veterans that the
monument should be erected in Wash>
ington, and that it should be an
elaborate affair. About the first post
IN Minnesota TO take action upon this
matter, or rather the first post to offer
contribution to the proposed fund
Is Hold the Fort post, near Perharn
and which has written to Commander
Torrance that each member of the post
desires the honor of contributing 25
cents to the fund in the event the na.
tonal encampment takes favorable ac-
ton on the proposition.
