WELL DRESSED, YET HUNGRY.
George Browns Excuse for Stealing
Miss Ahrants' Purse,

New York, Nov. 25.--While Miss NJ.
Ahrants was shopping in buttons book
store, Twenty-third street, near Fifth
avenue, this afternoon. a saleswOman
saw George Brown, of New Brunswick.
N. j., remove a pocketbook from Miss
Ahrants' satchel. She gave the alarm
and Brown tried to replace the purse.
He was prevented by a floor walker
and arrested by an officer. The purse
contained $3.50 and Brown was charE-
ed with grand larceny In Jefferson Mar
ket court.
He made a pitiable plea Of poverty
and hunger. His appearance belied
this. He was attired in stylish suit
of expensive goods and wore a costly
OvercOat. He carried an ivory handled
sun umbrella that any well disposed
pawnbroker would have advanced S.
on willingly. He wore gold trimmed
spectacles and seemed to be a man of
education and refinement. Magistrate
Simms committed the defendant in
$1,000 bail to answer.

house of the Diet today the presiding
officer referred briefly to the millen-
nial celebrations and expressed the

that Emperor Francis Joseph would
formally open the Diet on Thursday
next at the palace. whereupon Deputy
Komkathy, Kossuthist. stated that he
and his friends could not attend the
ceremony, adding that the king ought
to open the Diet on the parliament
house and not In the palace, over which
the black and yellow flag of Austria
waved.
In reply Baron Banffy said there was
no warrant for these objections. as no
law obliged the king to open the Diet
in the parliament house, and there
fore he would open the session in the
palace. surrounded by the dignitaries
of Hungary, and over the kings resi-
dence would be displayed the national
and CrOatian tricOlor and the stand
ard of the reigning house. This an
nouncement was greeted with loud
cheering.

BREAK IN THE SALVATION ARMY.
Captain Turner Resigns and Will
Join American Volunteers.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-What may lead to
a big disruption In the ranks of the
Salvation army was inaugurated Sun
day night at La Grange, when Captain
Turner resigned at a public meeting.
Captain Turner came from Scotland a
few months ago to stem the tide of SOL
ders who We're deserving the army and
joining the Volunteers Of America. She
is recognized as one Of the leaders of
the army, and her resignation. it is
thought, will cause CONSERVATION In the
ranks
Captain Turner made application to
Colonel Fielding yesterday to join the
Volunteers of America. Her reason
for so doing. it is said, is the alleged
bitterness existing against the Volun-
teers among the Salvation Army Off
GERS. In quitting the old army Cap
tain Turner arraigned its commanding
officers in bitter terms. She said the
Salvation army had drifted away from
the cause for which 1t was founded in
its endeavor to crush the Volunteers.

SOuth Bethlehem.

South Bethlehem. Pa. Nov 25.-A
distressingly sad and most remarkable
fatal accident befell tiny lad here
yesterday afternoon. A G-year-old boy,
playing with his two small brothers,
was caught under heavy old mortar
box, which finally crushed out his life,
after the little fellow had struggled
heroically. His brothers gave no
alarm. and the child was left lying
there for several hours. With one hand
that was free he attempted to dig his
way out. and when found he had, with
his tender fingers, clawed a hole Is
inches long, II inches wide and inches
deep in the hard earth. The tips OF
his fingers and the nails We're worn
away almost to the bone. He could
not have escaped at any time, for the
pressure of the box upon his lungs was
too great.
The boy died an hour after being re-
leased. The little victim was Lamar.

persons, the majority of whom were
women, were thrown into panic short
ly before noon today by fire in the six

badly injured. The first started on the
fourth floor, and worked it's way up
ward through the two upper floors. 1t
was stated that the two upper floors
contained stock in the shape of manu-
factured cigars and rough tobacco to
the value of $4,000 or 100000. This will

INDIAN TERRITORY PRAIRIE FIRES.
Two Children Burned to Death Near

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. ga furious
prairie fire has been sweeping over the
Seminole reservation for the last twen-

most unObtainable, but it is creditably
reported that two children of William
Bledsoe, a farmer, have been burned to
death.
Rumors to the effect that fifteen or
sixteen half-breeds have lost their lives
are current, but there seems to be no
foundation for them.

Then the Murderer Ended His Own
Life with Bullet.

Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 25.-The
bodies of Herman Myers and Nora A.
Richardson We're found in front of a
vacant house early this morning in a
pool of blood. There was a revolver ly-
ing alongside Of Myers. Two gaping
wounds in the girls back and one in
her breast told the story of murder,
while hole in Myers left temple in
dicated that he had killed himself af-
ter taking the girls life.
From letters found on Myers body.
1t is apparent that he had betrayed the
girl under promise of marriage. All of
the letters begged Myers to make his
promise good before her shame should
become known to the world" and the
letter of most recent date threatened
him with prosecution If he did not
speedily make good his promise. 1t is
supposed that they met last night and
that the tragedy was the outcome of
a dispute.
Miss Richardson was the only daugh-
ter of prosperous farmer living about
five miles northeast of the city. How
the couple came to be in the distant and
lonely part of the city where the
tragedy occurred is a mystery, the only
explanation being that Myers lured
her there for the purpose of numbering
