DEATH IN THE BANDS HIGH KEY.
People at Paola, KAN, Protest
Against Certain Fatal Tune.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 5.-One of the
most peculiar requests ever made Of
q town council will be presented in
the form of a petition by the citizens
of Paola on Tuesday evening.
The people ask that the council pass
an ordinance prohibiting the brass
band from playing a certain piece of
music, one part of which is in a very
high key. The reason for this strange
request is based on the accidents which
happened in that city recently.
An aeronaut gave balloon ascen-
sion. The balloon rose to a distance
of several hundred feet, the band play
ed the tune, and when it struck the
high key the man fell and was killed,
ON Christmas eve the band was en-
gagged to furnish the music for a
Christmas entertainment in one of the
churches. One part of the programme
arranged for Santa Claus to come into
the church through the skylight in the
roof. He was holding to a rope, and
when twenty feet from the floor the
band struck the high key.
Santa Claus fell and will die from
his injuries.

DANGER IN PUBLIC FUNERALS.
The Indiana Board of Health Cites &
Case in Proof.

indianapolis, Jan. 6.-To emphasize
its objections to all public funerals the
state board of health, through it's sec
retary, is preparing a bulletin citing
the strange case of Orange Failes, an
undertaken of Nappanee, Elkhart
county.
In the line of his duty he had the
care of a person who died of consump-
ton. There was public funeral. with
a public view of the body. Mr.. Failes
opened the glass to rearrange the body,
and as he was lifting it back into
proper position, with his face close
down, a strange sckening odOr, the
strangest he ever knew in his work,
struck him full in his face, and was
more or less inhaled into his lungs.
Within three weeks he began coughing,
and within three months he died of
| consumption of an aggravated type.
During his sickness Mr.. Failes often
spoke to his brother undertakers of the
strange odor which he had encountered
and both he and his attendant ply
sicians We're confident that he con-
tracted the disease at that time. The
| health board claims that this case is
| a study in etiology, and unerring proof
that there is danger in public funerals.

FAMOUS DIAMOND THIEF DEAD.
Suicide Identified as Belle Morgan,
Once n Notorious Woman,

New York, Jan. 6-The police today
gave out a statement concerning Belle
Morgan, who committed suicide in Gin
cinnati yesterday. Captain O'Brien
said she was known all over the coun-
try as an expert diamond thief. In Eu-
rope she was quite as we'll known. She
had Travelled under the names of Mary
Stuart, Mabel Stanley and Mabel Mil
let Her picture was taken for the
rogues' gallery Oct last, and the
number is 1868.
She was arrested by Detective Nc
Caulley at the Broadway Central hotel
as a suspicious character and because
she had been writing letters to Joseph
NJ. Weber. The name of the actor was
withheld at the time.
Belle Morgan was known in the "ten-
derlon" as Diamond Mary" Her ia
vorite haunt was the Metropolitan
Opera house during the opera season.
She was an expert at extracting dla-
mond earrings from the ears of the
women and diamond studs from the
shirt fronts of the men. She was a
handsome woman and had many ad-
mirers.

A number of passengers who were
not killed outright but who were

be extricated perished in the flames
There were about 200 passengers IL
is estimated that . persons were killed
and as many more bruised. scslded and
burned. of whom Eve or six are likely

The accident occurred at the worst
possible point Two minutes running
time each way would have averted the
wreck. as each engineer could have
seen the approach of the other train.
The trains cOllided on a curve or bend
round a mountain. and there was no
opportunity to avoid the wreck or even
slacken the speed. The surviving
trainmen say the trains were not run
ming fast, but the facts seem to be that
both the passenger and freight were
going at full speed-about 20 miles an
hour for the passenger and the freight

the two roads with the Rio Grande

river and nearly all the way there are
high bluffs on one side of the track, il
being from Is to 20 feet below the sur
face of the track.
One report as to the cause of the ac-
cident is to the effect that Conductor
Burbank. of the Colorado Midland
stock train, made a mistake of ten
minutes in figuring on the time when
the Rio Grande passenger train passed
Newcastle and that. therefore. he was
chiefly responsible for the disaster.
Engineer ostrander, of the stock train,
could either confirm or deny this re-
port If he were alive, but it is believed
that he is dead under the debris.

some may have escaped unnoticed.
AS in all similar accidents, the engine

passengers will have TO be transferred
