Suicide of Californian After He Had
Escaped Death in Kansas
Train Disaster

Topeka, KANs., Oct. 4.-Locomotive
858, attached to a Santa Fe eastbound
passenger train (No. p, exploded while
running at full speed at 4:38 o'clock this
morning near the village of Peterton,

ter and four tramps, iniuring two other
tramps and frightening passenger so
badly that he committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head with re-
volver.
Mrs. Edna B. Maxwell was the only pas
senger injured, although the train was
heavily loaoed. G. L. Shirman OF Kansas
City, helper in the express-car, was con-
siderably bruised by falling boxes.
The man who killed himself is said to
be William Becker. His ticket read
from Los Angeles to Chicago" He was
greatly excited after the accident, and
gave his money and watch To passenger.
He stood around where the men were dig
ging in the wreck for dead bodies, and
cried and acted strangely, but finally re-
sumed his seat in the car and became
quiet. Suddenly he drew revolver, and,
placing the muzzle against his left tempt
fred He tumbled into the aisle dead,
without uttering word.
The mangled remains of the dead were
brought here this afternoon.
The iIl-fated passenger train was about
thirty minutes late. A short stop was
made at Usage City for water, and then
the engineer pulled out for fast run to
Topeka. In few minutes the whistle
sounded for Peterton, three miles from
explosion occurred. The locomotive went
to pieces. Engineer Strunk was hurled
into the air and fell forty feet from the
track. Fireman Hollister was hurled
downward and crushed beneath the tender.

FREDERICK c0UDERT RETURNS.
Says the Venezuelan Commission is Do
ing Much Toward Bringing About
Settlement.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 4.-Hon. Fred
erick r. Coudert of the Venezuelan Com
mission returned this morning after
Holland, at The Hague and several weeks
at Hamburg, Germany. Coudert's trip
was made partly for recreation, but mainly
in connection with his duties relative to
the Venezuelan matter. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Coudert said:
II see by the newspapers that they have
pletely settled the Venezuelan COM
plications, and know every man on the
commission would be satisfied if they had
been arranged in manner satisfactory to
all parties, but l regret to say that such is
not the case.
Professor Burr of Cornell has been ex-
amining all the records in this controversy
and has spent two or three months in
Holland. He is fine Dutch scholar and
has procured the history of the whole mat
ter. Pretty nearly every document that
exists on the subject he has seen and
studied thoroughly.
He has also examined the records in
England. Every facility has been placed
at the professors command. He has
probably concluded, or very nearly con-
cluded, his labors by this time, and will
be able to make a report at an early date"
Mr.. Coudert said he did not know what
the report would embrace.
"While we have general knowledge on
| the subject, there are many facts 10 be
disclosed bv the report which will be use-
ful IN bringing ABOUT what we hope will
be a successful settlement

man. was found lying dead, chained to a
post with locked chain. The condition
of the body told of death struggle most
horrible and the doctors ascribed death to
hydrophobia.
Just outside the hovel was found the
body OF a big st. Bernard dog, the sole
companion of the recluse, the beasts
death having been caused by an ax-wound
in the head
The supposition is that the brute went
mad and bit his master. The old
man, realizing that death was inevitable,
had locked himself in when he felt the
madness coming on, chained himself,
locked his fetters with a paddock and
threw the Key away.
Buried under the floor of the hovel was
found $4,000 in gold. There was nothing
that could shed light on the mystery of
his life. In one pocket was found an
ocean steamer check from Liverpool dated
Novem Der 8, 1874, and on the wall hung
an oil miniature of q woman and child.
The body was given decent burial.

no knowledge of the precise lines of the
next upheaval, if such action was neces-
sary, but said that it would be terrible.
Thew repudiated any animosity against
the Turkish nation, saying that they
warred only against the Government.
When it was proposed last August TO set
fire to Constantinople they had negatlved
the proposal because it would have been
cruel. They had supported the plan to
attack the Imperial Ottoman Bank in
preference to doing anything that would
cause SUFFERING to the residents of Con-
stantinople. They added that they would
not hesitate TO kill soldiers and policemen,
but would not iniure peaceable people.
The Government they significantly said,
might reflect on the scheme for burning
Constantinople; that it mightBhave been
more easily effected than the attack on
the bank.
The Constantinople CORRESPONDENT of the
Chronicle telegraphs that the Ottoman
Bank and the representative of the Credit
Lyonnalse are sending away large quanti-
ties of securities. 1t is stated that the
latter forwsrded 1000, 600 francs worth of
securities to Paris few days ago.

More news of cheering character has
been received by Major Mckinley from
all points of the country to-day. Reports
from Colorado and the Pacific Slope con-

better every hour and that the State will
be carried by the Republicans by major
ity exceeding 5000.

ARMENIAN UsURERs BLAMED.

The German Emoassador to Turkey
Discsssses the Massacres.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Oct. 4-The Lokal
Anzeig.r publishes an interview with
Baron Won Saurma-Jeltsch, the German
Embassador to Turkey, anent the situa-
ton in that country. The Embassador
saws he does not think that the recent
horrors will be soon renewed. The Turks
have been somewhat frightened by their
own acts, and the decided attitude of the
powers has Gained the hotheads. Con-
tinuing, Baron Won Saurma- Jeltsch de-
clares that the demands of the Armenians
are unjustifable and impracticable.
They have great freedom in religion and
in trade are very prosperous. Their un-
scrupulous manner of doing business has
stirred up much bad blood between them
selves and the Turks. They have no re-
gard for anything or anybody. They have
plundered Turkey for centuries, and are
usurers and dishonest dealers. The
Turks were only wrong in their manner
of crushing the rebellion; that is. in not
distinguishing the innocent from the
gu lty. In reality there was only one
revolutionist among a thousand Armen-
ians. The leaders of the revolters were
mainly ambitious students who had i'm
bibed revolutionary ideas at Geneva.

August scarcely 10 per cent were guilty

CLEVELAND. ONO, Oct. "details of
a gruesome tragedy in the little town of
Hinkley, in Medina County. on Saturday
have been received here. Nearly twenty
years ago there appeared in Hinkley a
stranger of whom nothing was known but
his name, which was Bernard Sherman.
The inquisitive country folk, after year
or more of curiosity, left the man undis-
turbed in the solitude of a decrepit old
hovel which he had rented in the lone
some outskirts of the hamlet.
The hut gradually became surrounded
by an air of mystery. The dweller rarely
visited the village and then only for the
necessaries of life, which he seemed TO
have plenty of money to pay for.
One night in the early part of last week
several boys were silently passing the
place when they were terrified by pro-
longed and blood-curdling human rawlings
The old man was never again seen alive.
Afraid of the SCOTS of the incred ulous the
boys held their silence, but the deserted
appearance of the old hut finally attracted
attention and an investigation was started.
There was only one room in the house,

UnfouHded Rumor of His Reiease-Haines
and Keorney Reported Expelled
From Holland.

LONDON, ENG, Oct. 4.-The United As
sociated Presses is in a position to state
that the report circulated last night by
Reuters Telegraph Company that Patrick
]. lyman, the alleged dynamiter, had
been released by the French authorities
and that he was on his way to the United
States. is absolutely without foundation.
The French officials have not yet decided
what disposition shall be made OF his case.
In the meantime the prison at Boulogne-
sur-Mer. where lyman is confined, is
closely guarded by armed police. 1t is
believed that nothing will be done in
Tynan's case until after the Czar leaves
France.
ROTTERDAM, HOLLAND. Oct 4.-The
police here refuse to give the slightest in
formation regarding the release of
Kearney and Haines, the two Americans
who we're arrested here on the charge of
completely in the lyman dynamite plot.
There is scarcely any doubt that the two
men were expelled from the country yes
terday, but the police evidently mean to
keep secret all the circumstances of their
departure. 1t was stated yesterday that
ihey had been escorted to the frontier, but
it is possible they were placed on board
some steamer bound for America.
