Boston Manufactured victimizes His
ge Own Father-inK,awsnt
Boston, Jan. l5.-Air- Z. C. Morris, the
well-snown safe manufacturers and dealer,
left Boston about two weeks ago aud has
not been heard from since that time. 1t
has been discovered that he forged the
name OF his falher-in-law, Hon Frank Nj.
Ames, on NOES which viii probably aggre-
gate 81 5000. IL is known that brokers,
banks and trust compaDies hold about $50, :
900, and that private individuals have
probably S25, 600 mbre.
In the course of his business opera tions
Mr.. Amcs had indorsed a $1,000 note for
his son-in-law. Both being well known
men, MIR. Morris had Very little difficulty
in getting notes discounted with the name
of MIR. Ames as an indurser. He was thus
enabled To use notes to the amount of
$4,000 as indicated above. They were
widely tiist ributed sd that none of the men
or banks will suffer any large individual
loss.
Mr. Morris was fifty -one years OF age and
was widely and favorably known in BOs-
ton. He was originally OF the firm of
Morris < Ireland, safe dealers. After this
firm was dissolved he formed the +. q.
Morris Safe Company. but was forced to re-
tire from the management about one year
ago. He has always been man of cor
rect habits, pleasant and popular in large
circle of friends.
His downfall was due to speculation. Be-
fore he left the E. C. Morris Safe Company
he began to speculate, and during the past
year that dangerous business was his sole
occupation. He has probably lust most or
all of the SIS ,000 in speculation, as it is
not believed that he had much money when
he fled. An examination of his affairs
has shown that he owes $50 600, much of
it to personal friends.

SLIPPED TO AWFUL DEATH
Brakeman Samuel F. Mills Mangled
Beyond Recognition.
Fell From II b. & o. Shifting Engine
and Cut Into Pieces-Identified
by HIS Shredded Clothes.

Samuel f. Mills. bra akeman In the yards
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
killed and his body horribly mangied by
switch engine No. 26, near the u street
crossing, at 1918 O'Clock this morning.
The remains were strewn along The track
for nrty feeJ anG the BODY was unrccog-
nizaDie when found, the only means OF
ioentiIicaton being the clothing, WHICH was
cut 10 shreus anu the TACT tIiaJ the only
man missing from the crew OF shirlIng
train No. 46 was Mills.
SnIItIng crew NO. no, of which T. c.
Brauy Is conductor, had just begun the
WORK OF making up passenger train no. $40,
known as the Western Ex press, which would
leave washington at aDouU E:4o this morn
ing. Engine No. 26, driven by Engineer G..
Shelton. took hold OF two heavy caches
prepara tory to shifting them into the
depot.
hiI.s took his station on the wooden
foOJing u the rear of the tender and dropped
in the lynCh-pm which codp.ed the Goa aciies
to the tender. He threw out his lantern and
gave the signal 10 Engineer She5on TO go
ahead. This Shelton did, and the switch
was turned and the work OF throwing the
aches into the station was then begun
The shifting train Stacked up as the
switch was thrown over, and Mills once
more waved his lantern that the engineer
might back the train. Slowly the cars were
reversed. Nils still kept his place on the
step of the tender. Faster the train went
backward.
When il had attained the necessary mo-
menlum 10 send the coaches into the car
shed, Mills reached down 10 the coupling
10 withdraw the pin which would free the
engine, missed his footing, and fell. The
wheels ground his body 10 a bloody, hid
eous mass. The signal TO stop, of COURSE,
did not come TO the engineer, and the loco
motive kept its pac until Conductor Brady,
knowing that some thing was wrong,
flashed lie necessary signal, which brought
the engine to StaDdstill.
Then Brady looked about for Mills, but
he was absent. Then, with lighted lantern.
he ran along the ties till he saw frag-
ments of human flesh.
At last he stumbled over the clothing of
Mills, in which was a mass of spintered
bones and macerated flesh. He called to
the trains crew, rushed to, the station
and reported the accident to Station Master
]. C. Carr, who sent a telephone message
TO police. headquarters. Operator klinger
sent the ambulance TO the scene OF the ac-
oident.
Sergt Falvey and squad of men from
the Sixth precinct, with the aid OF the
train hands, collected the remains on n
door, placed them in the wagon and drove
to the morgue.
Mills boarded at No. COZ Second street
northeast, and came to Washington about
five months ago from Nan iemoy district OF
Charles county, Maryland. He was in the
employ OF the railroad about four months.
He had been i member of crew NO. 46 only
three nights.
His brother workmeD understood that he
was not married, and that he had no rel
atives in Washin gton.
The coroner aud the relatives OF the dead
man will be notified this morning.

wICKHAM'S SUBSTITUTE.
Provisions Made to Assist the Voter
in Preparing Ballot.

Richmond, Va. Jan. 17.-In the Senate
today Mr.. wickham introduced q substi-
tute for the election bill presented by him
before the holidays.
The alterations suggested by Mr.. Wick
ham in the substitute provide that in the
event it be shown to the judges of election
that there is no qualified voter present to
assist the voter asking assistance, that
then and in that event such voter asking
assistance n the prepara tioD of his ballot,
may call upon the judges of election, who
may in such case thereupon designate one
of their number, who may then retire
into the booth, and there fix the ballot
for such voter.
The substitute further provides for con-
tingencies when the county judge or the
secretary of the electoral board are iucapac-
itated by sudden sickness or otherwise
from performing the duties imposed by
the act.

ness and fighting qualities, and do not
hesitate TO express the belief that il is
all outrage to see such fighter downed
by subterfuge and underhanded methods
Campbell and Adams are stu waiting Ior
chance that Will not come to stampede
the joint assemblage for Judge McComas
An opportunity for the expression of opin-
IONS as to his availability was furnished
by the receipt of a letter intimating that
he would be good man as a compromise
candidate, but those who declared them
selves were adverse to his name being men

1t must not be remembered that Judge Nc

authorship is attributed to close relative.
GOLDSBORoUGH STOCK.
Sofaras gossipis concerned u U .dsborough
stock continues TO rise, and its increased
value can be attributed to nothing else
than the belief tnat he could be easily
Influenced and might be taken by the hand
and led about by those who Were respon-
sible for his elevation to the highest
office in the gift of the State. Personally
MIR. Goldsborough is a delightful young
man. He is OF good appearance, neat
to an extreme, calm and self-possessed.
The Times correspondent was with INN
during the exciting baIlotting of this af-
ternoon, in which both Wellington and
himself made gains. He appeared per
fectly unconccrned and discussed general
topics with as much coolness as if a total
stranger was playing for the stake he
sought to capture.
Preferring his own chances of success,
Mr.. GoIdsborough said he was in The hands
of his friends, and the only personal pride
he took in the issue was derived from the
fact that un each succeeding ba Hot he made
gains. He expressed himself as feeling
flaitered by this substantial indication OF
confidence on the part of those interested
In his political future. MIR. Goldsborough
is thirty-one, but does not look a day more
than twenty-five years old.
Take a score of years from the age of
Representative Johnson of Indiana, and
reduce his statue by a couple of inches,
aud there would be left n striking resem-
blance To Mr.. Goldsborough. The latter
is lawyer by profession, and notwith-
standing his youth has been twice elected
States attorney for Dorchester county.
The confidence that Godsborough feels
In his ultimate success is evidenced by the
fact that he is willing without hesitation
TO trade the next Congressional nomination
in his district for four votes. That he
could have secured this nomination for
himself goes without saying, but he is
either suffering from over-ccnfidence or
has such asSura noes of assistance in his
fight as makes him willing to forego all the
more trifling political possibilities.
Since The Times arrived here this fore
noon the question has been frequently
propounded: Are the Washington and
Baltimore capitalists backing Goldsbor-
ough, and will they be able to pull him
through? Many members of the legisla-
ture admit the probability of such a re-
suit, but do not regard it as being now
Imminent. c. S. A.

NECESSARY TO PERSIST.
To emphasize his suggestion that some
souls can only be saved by the persistent
efforts OF those who seek to save them,
DR.. Hoyt told OF his experience in trying
to catch striped bass in New York bay
and shedder crab, and when clam and the
shrimp failed to catch the gamy fish he
finally landed it with the last and most
expensive bait, the crab.
1t was the manner OF the telling that
delighted the audience. DR.. Hoyt proved
to be an excellent actor, as he leaned over
the pulpit and went through mimic battie
with the wary bass.
"If you don't save at first" he said,
TRY and try and try again. l actually
tried 10 land certain sinner ninety nine
times, but on the next effort. I hook ed him.
1 had tried clam, shrimp and crab. At
the Boston convention the report showed
that 25O,OOO souls bad been saved. That
was magnificent report, but was it mag
nifiCent when it took 5000. coo Christian
Endeavorers to save only 25o,0OO. We
want 10 he more persistent i'll sOutsaving."
The choir and audience sang "Thro W Out
the Life Line" the Rev. Mr.. Kelly led in
prayer. and the first session closed with
the singing OF the Banner of the Cross. -
There will be q prayer meeting begin
ming at q. m. today in the First Congre-
gational Church. A junior rally will take
place at the same church at O'Clock and
a rally OF tie sc committees will be held
