DALLAS Tex, Sept 25.-The Sovereign
Grand Lodge, l. o. o. F.. at to-day's ses-
sion adopted revised Rebekah ritual, and
also revised the Patriarch Militant ritual.
A universal sign of recognition between
Odd Fellows and Daughters of Rebekah
was adopted. An important matter also
acted upon was the adoption of a resolution
authorizing the preparation of new subordi-
nate lodge and encampment rituals, which
shall include all legislation thereto to date.
1he afternoon session was largely taken
up in the consideration of the amendments
to the constitution and reports OF commits
tees published in Wednesdays journal. The
constitutional amendments were all de-
feated. These included propositions TO

HEMMED IN BY TRAINS
JOHN j. RALYA LOST HIS PRESENCE
OF MIND AND WAS KILLED.
An Old Man Who Was Once Wealthy
The Recent Charges Alleged
Against Him.

john ]. Ralya, aged sixty-six years, was
killed al noon yesterday on the Lake Erie
track near the New York-street crossing.
He walking south along the track
when he saw train No. i9 on the Chica go
division of the Panhandle approaching. He
stepped over to another track to avoid the
passenger train and was struck by train
of freight cars being backed southwardly
by switch engine. The body was fright
fully mangled, the head being mashed al
most to a pulp and severed from the body.
a little girl who saw the accident says
that Ralya seemed to become terribly ex-
cited when he saw the passenger train APP
preaching and evidently lost his head. He
seemed to know that the cut coming
up behind him, for he jumped from track
to track as if trying to avoid both. He
screamed out in his fright, apparently be-
lieving that he was hemmed in and there
vas escape. He probably had plenty of
time to cross the track ahead of the cut
had he done so at first but he waited until
1T vas TOO late before making the attempt.
The Coroner was called to the scene of the
accident and ordered the body removed to
Whtsetts morgue.
Ralya lived with his son William at 613
South Meridian street He had been en-
gagged for number of years in the manu-
faoture OF a sarsaparilla which he had been
selling in this city for the last few months.
More recently, however. he was engaged
with his son in the manufacture of saws,
under a patent. The saws are made by the
Simpson Manufacturing Company in Lin
coin lane. Ralya had a lawsuit pending
against larger saw manufacturing con-
Germ, in which the patents under which
the Ralya saws were made was involved.
Sherman Mott was his attorney.
Recently Mr.. Ralya became impressed
with the idea that there was being made an
effort to injure his reputation a citizen
so as to injure him in the pending suit.
An article which appeared iii the Journal
last week was interpreted by him as a
part of the scheme, and during the last
few days DR.. Ralya and his attorney have
been trying to ascertain the origin of the
report that made the foundation for the
article. 1t was only night before last that
the patrolmanS report TO Superintendent
Colbert, which was the basis of the article
was found and it gave the names Of half
a dozen citizens who, it is claimed,s made
complaint. Dr. Ralya was returning from a
visit TO some of these people when he met
his death.
DR.. Ralya came to this city a few years
ago from Pennsylvania. He was at one
time a man of considerable wealth. but at
the time of his death his means were linn
tied. In his pockets were found papers
which indicated that at times he had trans
acted business matters of magnitude He
had a Docketful of Cancelled bank checks
which represented large amount of
money. He showed to a Journal reporter
several days ago Cancelled checks on Cleve-
land banks for amounts as high as So 900
