DEATH MARKED ITS RUN.
FOur People Killed by "a Train. and a
Suicide i'm One of It's Cars

DALLAS, Tex, Nov 5.-The west-bound
passenger train on the st. Louis & South
western road, known as the Cotton Belt
route, was Inflated and death marked
its run. Near Mount Pleasant the train ran
over j. c. Beasley, an ex-section foreman,
who had fallen asleep on the track. He was
Killed instantly. About thirty miles further
west, near Greenville, three negro children
were playing down among the timbers of
trestle bridge. They scampered up to the
track trying to escape. They had not been
seen by the trainmen and were so close to
the engine that they were run over before
being discovered Two were killed on the
rails The third child died an hour later.
A few miles further west, near Wylie,
passenger named !. c. Davis entered a
toilet room and committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head. His home
was at Cedar HILL near Dallas. His friends
cannot account for his killing himself.

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Nov. 5.-The ef-
forts of Buffalo manufacturer of beet
sugar machinery to organize a company to
build factory at New Castle is attract
ing great deal of attention among the
farmers in this part of the country. Elk
periments in the raising of sugar beets have
been carried on in many portions of In
diana and Ohio and successful results were
obtained in a territory within fifty to sixty
miles of New Castle. Auditor Wisehart, or
Henry county, is greatly interested in the
establishment of this factory, and has sub
scribed for a large block of the stock. No
less than $500, 900 will be required to build
the factory. A corporation is to be formed
and the shares placed at $50 each, payable
in from one to four years. Farmers all over
the territory, which will be drawn on for
beets will be invited to subscribe for at
least one share. The beets grown will be
accepted in payment of stock and payments
in this manner may extend over four years,
provided at least one-fourth Of the amount
subscribed is paid each year.

No stone marked the grave and no beads
or Wampum were buried with the skeleton.
But over all the earth was heaped UP into
a small oblong mound. along which other
similar mounds extended for many feet
The overtlows of a neghboring river at this
point had almost destroyed the burial area,
so that only three of these small elevations
We're recognizable at the time of excavation.
There has long since been an active series
of hunts to discover skeletons of prehistoric
Indians. All things relating to the daily
life, beliefs, practices and origin of these
Indians have been studied by those who de-
sire TO unearth the history Of the men who
formerly occupied this country.
The Maryland Academy of Sciences has
collection of relics and skeletons taken
from different counties of the State. Their
plan is to conduct a systematic survey of
this State, and many well-filed glass cases
in the halls of the society attest that they
have performed their labor well. Here may
be seen war clubs, stone tomahawks, hoes.
knives, spear heads. arrow points, pottery.
stone mortars, ceremonial appliances, ham,
mers. drills, polishers, lapstones and orna-
ments from nearly every county in Mary
land The society has had village sites and
weapon workshops sought out and identt-
fed until they have become very prominent
in this department of science.

The Kentuclxy COMPUTATION.

Philadelphia Times.
The people of kentucky furnish pecu-
liar study in American social life. There
are indeed, other localities where killing
is frequent but it is generally confined TO
a class-as Kansas City and Dallas. where
the gamblers do it; at Flew Orleans. where
professional politicians engage in it. But
in Kentucky ii seems to be limited to no
class or grade of social life. Judges on the
bench, lawyers, railway superintendent,
temperance lecturers, hotel keepers and
horse breeders reach around to their hip
pocket for a weapon with cheerful alacrity
on the least provocation, and give and re-
ceive fatal fire without seeming TO regard
being murdered or murderer as anything
else than an expected incident of everyday
life.
The predominant racial type in Kentucky
is Celtic, and their whisky Is said to be the
best in the world but perhaps, as in the
case of certain chemicals which are safe
when separated are very dangerous when
brought in contact-the peculiar Celtic
strain of blood and the whisky of the ma
tive still are accountable for these frequent
Sayings. Whatever may be the cause, the
murder record of the State and on every
succeeding election day particularly, is a
disgrace to American civilization.

BIG INDIANS.
Were Seven Feet Tall, and Have Been
Dead for Centuries.

Baltimore American.
There has just been received at the Mary
land Academy of Sciences the skeleton of an
Indian seven feet tall. 1t was discovered
near Antietam ten days ago. There are now
skeletons of three powerful Indians at the
academy who, at one time in their Witness
with such instruments as nature gave them
or that their limited skill taught them to
make Two of these skeletons belonged to
individuals evidently of gigantic size. The
vertebrae and bones of the legs nearly
as thick as those of horse, and the length
of the long bOI.es exceptional. The skulls
are of fine proportions, ample, and with
walls of moderate thickness, but of great
strength and stiffened behind by a powerful
occipital ridge The curves of the forehead
are moderate and not retreating, suggesting
intelligence, and connected with jaws of
moderate development.
The locality from which these skeletons
came is in Frederick county, near Antietam
creek. 1t was formerly supposed to have
been the battle-ground of two tribes of In
diarS-the CatawbaS and the DelawareS.
Tradition has handed down the statement
that between the years 1870 and 1876 the
at the mouth of the Antietam, and in the
battle that ensued the Delawares
were completely annihilated. SO the tradi-
ton goes but according to Dr. Philip r.
Uhler, president of the Maryland Academy
of Sciences, and provost of the Peabody In
stitute, careful examination of this local
battle at this point although numerous
spear and arrow heads have been taken
from the soil there
1t is of great interest however, to notice
that the locality was, at an early date-be-
fore the coming of the white man-occu-
pied as a village site by Indians of great
stature, some of them six and one-half to
seven feet in height. The bones of these
were buried like those of prehistoric tribes
in other parts Of the, State. The manner
of burial was like this: The flesh was
cleaned from the bones, some of which were
then charred. The small bones of the face
and neck were packed in the cavity of the
n a fxxyn nd
half feet wide was dug in the ground, H.
which the skeleton was buried and care
also placed pottery a tomahawk and the
other weapons belonging to the Indians.

Two Dexter women have met with very
provoking accidents the last week. One of
these mishaps occurred on Sunday when
an elderly and devout lady, in starting for
church, picked up a gilt-edge, Morocco
bound volume which she supposed was
Testament, but which on opening at church
proved to be a new package of cards that
her daughter had won at a whist party the
night before. The other accident was when
a good woman who was pairing pears, being
annoyed by her false teeth, took them out
and placed them in her apron with the peel
ings and then, on completing her task
dumped the contents of her apron into the
stove, totally forgetting the teeth till some
time afterWard

UNION CITY. Ind. Nov 5-Nathan Cad
wallader is a respected citizen of this city
and county, and has spent his whole bust
ness life here, and is now over seventy
years of age, and was president of the de-
funct Union City Bank from the time of it's
organization to the time of it's failure. 1t is
not true, nor is there any evidence that
large sums of money were received on de-
post the day before it's doors were closed.
No money was received on deposit that
day, but the day was spent in paying as
far as the money would reach all deposit
ors who came. 1t is true that deposits
were received as long as the officers of the
bank thought there was a chance to tide
over the run that was being made. 1t is
not true that deposits were received after
the president and other officers of the bank
knew it was insolvent. 1t is not true that
the jury who tried the former case expect
ed the judge to impose a sentence of i'm
pr1Sonment. The verdict assessed a fine
eight jurors being for conviction and four
were for acquitaal, two of whom remained
so TO the end, and only consented to Ver-
dict of fine. In order that readers of the
journal in the country may know exactly
the character of the case now on trial, here
IS substance of the testimony of Charles
Shultz, the prosecuting witness at the Sec
ond trial now on in Winchester:
Il live in Wayne township, and have for
three years, and have known defendant fff-
teen or twenty years. l made deposit in
the Citizens Bank Jan. 2, 1885, of check of
about $40. 1t was a check l deposited,
given me by +. c. Worth, in payment of
my hogs. l took a demand certificate of
deposit. Did not give the deposit to the de-
PENDANT, but to some other officer of the
bank. Some time after l took this certifi-
cate / needed some money and took it to
the bank and got what money l asked for
and took new certificate, payable on de-
mand, for residue. On the second day of
May, 1896, four days before the bank closed,
/ needed some more money, and took the
certificate to the bank and asked for $50
and new certificate for the remaining $50.
got the money and the new certificate,
just as | requested. The defendant gave
me the money and signed the new certi-
fcate: Judge Williams wrote the certifi-
cate
This is the evidence of the prosecuting
witness. and the Indictment charges that
the defendant on the I'd day of May, 1896,
received a money deposit of $50. AS no
money was received by the defendant on
that day, but $50 paid out, and all paid that
was asked, it is hard to see how the de-
PENDANT intended to defraud. Neither
Shultz nor Macy, who made the deposit
that led to the former trial, believed at any
time or believe now that Mr.. Cadwallader
intended to defraud them, and they have
no desire to prosecute the defendant and
have so stated on the witness stand.
