A PROBABLE MURDER


w. II. Churchmnn, the old farmer
who was found under the Fort Worth
and Denver railroad bridge last Fri
day night, died yesterday morning at
his home near Grapevine,
Wheh found the mans head and face
We're badly crushed and his shoulders
had been dlslocated He was In an
insensble condition when removed to
the city hall and never regalned en-
tire conscious, lie was taken thence
to the hospital and was afterwards
removed to his home in the country,
between Grapevine and Roanoke,
where he died.
It was at first thought that he had
fallen from the railroad bridge while
attempting to cross IT, and thus re-
celved his fatal injuries. but 1t has
since developed that there are strong
grounds TO believe that he was robbed
and murdered The police made thor
ough investigation of the locality
whore Churchman was found. and
say they think that IL Is highly inn
probable that he could have fallen
through the bridge. or that he fell
from 1t. The theory of the police il
that the old man was decoyed by some
one Friday night, robbed OF consider
ablo money he was known to have on
him, and then murdered and thrown
under the railroad bridge, The posi-
tion OF the body when found and other
circumstances makes this theory very
plausible. When the old man came
to the city Friday he was seen to have
roll of bills In small pocketbook
When found that night, only u nickel
was to be found In his pocket.
As he died without regnlning con-
seriousness. and was unable to tell
where he had been that fatal night or
In whose company, 1t Is now impossl-
BILE TO obtain any clew. and the af-
fair will probably remain one OF those
mysterious tragedies so frequently
found in the annals of crime

The human puzzle struck Washington
the other day. Ills name is Nixbeno, or
Harry Beno, of Port Of Spain. Trinidad,
and he is en- route to New York, where,
he declares, he has been offered $25. 600
and ticket back to Cuba for letting the
doctors amputste his left arm in the in
terest of science. The human puzzle is n
short, stocky looking knight of the road
and his great speciality is self torture
and mutilation. He sticks pins and
needles into any part of him he can
reach, and he is decorated all over with
scars inflicted by obliging individuals
who at his request have experimental
cn him.
Tho puzzle says he has no physical
sensibiliticS and no blood III his body.
This last is very thoroughly disproved
by a strong, healthy pulse at the wrist
but tho former one might believe from
the fact that he sticks darning needles
through his tongue and hatpins through
both sides of his jaws, while he invites
any one who is interested and skeptical
to run long bonnet pin through his
blceps or his leg or any other part of his
body they choose.
He has hypodermic syringe needle
that he has fixed up for cigarette hold
er, and this he thrusts through his
windpipe and smokes a cigarette with
his mouth shut. He declares that he
does not mind being burned and shows
Q number OF scars which he SAYS are
9rem recent electrical experiments.
The puzzle is shy third finger, on his
left hand This, he says, was an.puta.ed
in New Orleans Just TO show that he
would not bleed, and the proposed am
putation which no says is to take place
at Bellevue hospital in New York will
be the contamination of long and in.
teresting public career. After that the
puzzle says he will walk back to New
Orleans on stills for II wager and sail
for Cuba to enjoy in an afiluent old age
che fruits of his youthful travel and
adventure.

PRESIDENT AS AN AUTHOR.
MIR. Cleveland Busy ON Work Dealina
With Economic Subjects.

Grover Cleveland is to appear before
his countrymcn i'll new role. He has
become literary man. 1t might be
moro correct TO say that he has long
been literary man. He has spent four
years, more or less, in writing a book,
still incomplete. which seems likely to
give him an altogether unique position
in orr long line of presidents 1t is a
volume on economic science.
AS reader Mr.. Cleveland is known
to devote himself almost wholly to
works which afford him material for
his own essay in authorship. This book
viii probably appear when the president
lays down the cares of Office.
Mr.. Cleveland is presenting economic
science from Il point of view somewhat
i'll advance of j. Stuart Mill His bool;
is divided into four departments. pro-
duction, consumption, distribution and
exchange, and there is special chapter
under the department Of consumption
on the theory of marginal utility This
theory docs not seem to find much favor
with Mr.. Cleveland From what can he
gathered on the authority of those who
have talked with Mr.. Cleveland. he does
not mean to cNpound doctrine so much
as to make clear the lines along which
progress in economic thought must pro.
coed. This way Of going to work has
permitted copious illustration, drawn
from American history. In this Mr.
Cleveland seems to strike a new note.
But there arc difficulties in the way
of forecaSting the work itself, owing To
the literary methods Of the author 1t is
merely an intellectual exercise with
him. and he reviscs and rcvisos and
makes copious references What he
writes is the work of his own hand. In
his library at Woodloy Mr. Cleveland
reads far into the night AT this rate it
takes months to write chapter. and
even then there is further delay, because
the manuscript is laid aside and some
times not looked at for many weeks.

own author. Boston Herald.
