WORK OF TRAIN WREcKERS.
Train Ditched-FOur Men
Finally Hurt.

Evergreen. Ala, April ga wreck oc-
CURED at Mudges trestle. nine miles north
of this place, last night on the LouisVile
& Nashville railroad. The engine, mai
car and two coaches of the south bound
passenger were ditched. Engineer Adams
his fireman and two negroes were fatally
injured, and two other negroes believed to
be tramps. were badly hurt. The cause Oh
the wreck is unknown.
Louisville, KY, April ,22.-At the Office
of the superintendent of transportation oil
the Louisville & Nashville railroad in TINS
city it was learned that Engineer Adams,
Fireman Jones and Express Messenger
Locke were badly scalded and injured. In
many respects the wreck was similar to
the recent awful affair at Cahaba, Ala,
and, though not attended with such dis
astrous results, seemed to have been
planned as deliberately as that one.
According TO the information which has
reached the superintendent of transpor-
tation, four negro tramps, who were seen
in the neighborhood shortly before the ac-
cident occurred, removed the rails just
south of the trestle. The job was neatly
done and nothing would have saved the
trainload of passengers had it not been for
the herosm of Fireman Jones and En-
gineer Adams, who remained at their posts
after the engine had left the track. The
engine, caboose, baggage and mail cars
We're completely wrecked, but none of the
passengers was injured.

HER PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.
Improving in England ms Well as in
America-The Reasons.

1t is well established fact that the
woman who is not blessed with God-given
grace and a well-Proportioned figure must
have some special exercise suited to her
needs If she would be graceful. and il is
said that practical results of the modern
methods of exercise for women in England
show that dowagers of too generous pro-
portions are rare in comparison to the
numbers seen twenty years ago. Croquet
first melted q desire for exercise among
women of middle age, and led on through
various stages to the bicycle, for which so
much is. claimed as source of health and
beauty for women.
That women are taller than they were a
generation ago, as a result of outdoor ex-
ercise, is not denied, and the graceful ex-
ercises which are taught in schools, gym
nasiums and health culture classes for the
purpose of developing the muscles show
progress in physical training.
Young girls, and grown women as well,
have invaded mans domain in the matter
of exercise in connection with various
games. and it is all very much to their
credit. The posture and skirt dancing
which is taught nowadays to give grace
and elegance of movement would have been
considered n sort of indecorous proceeding
years ago. but to this has been added jig
dancing as well as still more classic dane
ing.

TENDERL0IN GIRL STRANGLED.
Her Room in New York-Her
"Husband" Suspected.

New York, April 22.-Flossie Murphy, bet
ter known as Diamond Flossie," but
whose right name was Flossie Reilly, was
found strangled in her room early this
morning. One end of a rope was around
her neck and the other tied to the bed
post. The place was looted Of its vaiuables,
including about s1.5OO worth of diamonds,
which had made the young woman famous
all over the tenderloin precinct. The reput-
ed husband of the woman, Alexander Fred
erick Murphy. was arrested on suspicion.
Murphy was later arraigned in court and
committed to Jail without bail. pending in
vestigation of the murder. What the po-
lice regard as strong point against the
prisoner is the fact that the rope which
strangled Folssie Murphy was tied in the
half hitch fashion, common to circus
men and those engaged in maritime occu-
pations. Before turning bartender, Mur-
ply was steveiore.

KANSAS BOY POIs0NER.
Thirteen-Year-OId Ottawa Lad Com
fesses to an Attempt to Kill
His Family.

Ottawa, Kas, April 22.-(Speciall The
acknowledgment of cold-blooded attempt
to poison the Henry Harfcrd family, con-
sisting of father, mother and daughter, by
an adopted 13-year-old boy, was made to-
day. Mr.. Hartford, who is a butcher, had
some Rough-on-Rats at the shop. The boy
stole quantity of it and when an oppor-
tunity came he placed the poison in some
oatmeal while his mother was preparing
breakfast. On sitting down to the table,
the mother noticed some greenish sub
stance had been sprinkled over the oat-
meal and called attention to it: Mr.. Har-
ford at once thought of the Rough-on- Rats,
and had an investigation made, which
proved the substance to be poison. Later
he also found. concealed under the porch, Il
quantity of Rough-on-Rats. The boy was
confronted by these facts and finally ac-
knowledged his design to poison the other
members of the family. He would give no
reason why he did it. The boy, on several
occasions. has stolen money. but has never
done anything very bad. He has had a
good home and been well treated, and why
he should have attempted SO atrocious a
deed is a mystery.

his dagger. He was Immediately arrested

a multitude. The members of the diplo-

MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Dead Bodies of Two Former Partners
Found in n Uniontown, Pa,
Hotel Room.

Uniontown, Pa, April 22.-Frank Brown,
a civil engineer of Fairchance, and Joshua
McFadden a butcher, of this place, met
their death to-day in a very mysterious
and tragic manner. The men engaged a
room at the Lafayette hotel, this after
noon in which to transact some important
business. About o'clock the clerk heard
six pistol shots. but, thinking some per-
son was shooting rats paid no attention.
Later in the evening their room door was
forced open and the dead bodies of both
men were found lying on the floor. Browns
head was badly torn with shot, and he had
a bullet through his left hand. McFadden
had died of hemorrhage, bullet having
penetrated his lung. Only one revolver was
found in the room and 1t is believed one
man killed the other and then committed
suicide.
The men were formerly business partners,
and when they dissolved Brown gave Nc
Fadden note for $500. This note was
found torn in two and covered with blood
lying on the floor. 1t is supposed they
quarreled over the settlement of the note.
Some think there is a woman in the case,
and that jealousy was the cause of the
tragedy.
