HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY.
George Pickney, a Colored Cook, Meets
an Awful Death.

George Pickney, the colored cook
who was with the jolly Pathfinder
company, which played all last week
at the Rhode opera house, met most
awful and sudden death Saturday
evening between and Z o'clock He
was in the special car belonging to the
company in which the company lived.
This car was taken IN tow by the
switch engine and brought down to
the Main street crossing where Pick
ney was to get some meat at the Cnd-
ahy market The car was stopped at
the market. Just exactly how the
accident happened no one seems to
know. But it is thought that while he
was reaching out for some meat which
was being handed to him, the car was
jerked by the switch engine and he
fell from the car in such way that his
head came under the wheels and it
was completely severed from the body.
The left leg and the left arm were
broken also. The body was taken in
charge by Undertaken Krichbaum.
The relatives of the man, who live in,
Warren, o., were notified, and they re-
quested that his remains be inferred
here, which will be done Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock. The Path
finder" company deserted him entirely,
after uttering words of praise for his
faithfulness.

A FAMILY DIFFICULTY.
A Considerably Mixed UP Affair at oscar
Rectors

There is trouble in the family OF
Oscar Rector and it got an airing ia
Justice Slater's court this morning,
According to the facts, as they get tG
the public view, it seems that some six
months ago Mrs. Rector deserted hex
husband. There was a certain family
buggy which Mr.. Rector sold. After
it's sale Mrs. Rector quietly spirits IL
away and sells it to another man. The
first man to whom it was sold got out
writ Of reple7in for his Buggy and
this matter was tried this morning re-
sulting in his getting a decision in bic
favor The case having gone against
Mrs. Rector and the one to whom she
sold the buggy, she swOre out war
rant for Mr.. Rector charging him with
assault and battery upon her
Now it seems that there is anC thee
man who has q claim against that
buggy for having painted it a year or
so ago, and it is understood that he
will sue Mr.. Rector for the amount
later on. 1t is all very unfortunate
family difficulty.

avenue. will probably he surprised 10 read
In the Post-lntelligencer this morning that
they were the victims OF a clever sneak
thief last evening. and that II is owing
to the extremely clever work of Detective
Jack Williams that the guilty party is
safe in the city Jail and the stolen goods
are in Chief Reeds Office at headquarters.
Between and O'Clock last evening De-
tectiye Williams was at the corner of
Pike street and First avenue. He noticed
man with an overcoat thrown over his
arm. and looking a him closer saw that
he was one OF the two men who tried to
INT goods In the Empire Jewelry Com
pany's store, Albert Hansens and Uough-
toms. The man walked down First av-
enue- Williams followed him. Near the
corner OF Seneca street the man met three
other men. The gang had a consultation.
Williams kept in the shade and noticed
that they were talking earnestly Finally
Williams slid into the Dilier hotel and
sat down, Watching the men from the
front window. Pretty soon the man with
the overcoat passed the coat to one Of
the other men. One Of the gang went
over to the tailor shop and entered Later
ne came out. Then two OF the men wen.
into the store and engaged the proprie-
tor n. conversation. Soon the man who
had taken the overcoat entered the store
The two men came to the front window
and were appa emily busy exanin-
ing cloth. Pretty soon the man
with the overcoat came to the
door, and a. he walked out
into the street made some casual remark
He walked down the street, and as he did
so Detective Williams saw that the over
coat stuck straight up instead Of con-
forming 10 the curve Of his arm
Hes made n touch" said Williams to
himself, as he started after the man. The
man went down the steps at the foot Of
Seneca street. just south Of the entrance,
~ the $. 4. G. When Williams followed
him down the steps the man hurried and
on reaching the alley disappeared south.
Williams was afraid the man knew him,
and went back to First avenue and then
down 10 Spring street. He went down
Spring street just in time 10 see his man
coming up out of a sort of hole. The man
went rapidly north and Williams gave
chase oserhauiirg him at the corner Of
University street. The man was sur
prtsed and demanded 10 know Williams
identity. When the detective told him who
ne was the man made no trouble but
went along peaceahly. Williams took him
