MYSTERY IN A SEWER.
Partly Decomposed Remains Of q Man
Discovered In n Basin.

Murder, shrouded i'm as much mystery as
that which enveloped the case of DIR. Gro
min. Is the sensation now agitating the
minds of the officials of the Cook County
Qll) asylum at Dunning, the police, and
others who are or may be interested in
the crime.
From the catch-basin in the main sewer
draining the grounds of the county insti-
tuition, fifty feet from the main driveway
and about 15O feet from the poorhouse
the headless body of a man was taken.
In addition to the head the right forearm
was also missing.
When taken from the basin the corpse
was in state of advanced decomposition.
The trunk above the waist was but mere
skeleton, and the internal organs of the
body had entirely disappeared Below the
waist modification was almost completed,
and there was nothing left to disclose
whether or not identifying marks had ever
been placed upon the body. The appear
ance of the cadaver indicated that the
head and forearm had either been torn
or washed away, there being no signs of
decapitation or severance by means of a
knife or other instrument
When taken from its resting place the
body was floating in ten feet of water,
and the physicians who viewed it almost
Immediately after its release, are of opin-
ion that it had been imprisoned for con-
siderably more than six months. No the
Ory as to the cause of the death has been
advanced by officials ut the Dunning asy-
lum, and the jury of the coroner, under
the direction of Deputy Reynolds, return
ed verdict to the effect that the un-
known person probably came to his death
by drowning.
The motive for the crime is mooted
question, but that it is murder none of the
officials doubt, although Superintendent
Lange and his assistants have no theories
to advance.
A survey of the grounds, an examina-
ton of the conditions and general charac-
teristics of the surrounding territory lead
those familiar with the situation in and
about Dunning to advance three theories
of murder First, that the victim was an
inmate of the poorhouse and was disposed
of by other inmates, either of the aims
house or insane ward. Second. that he
was an inmate of the poorhouse and was
killed by some keeper or keepers, and,
third, that the body was brought to the
place from a distance and dropped into
the catch-basin.

Arlington-Many Fatally Injured
Entire State Ravaged by Hurricane.
Storm in the South.

A cyclone cut path of death through
the little town of Arlington, Ca, Mon
day. 1t left eight children dead in the
ruins of Arlington Academy. Many 9TH
ers and one of the many teachers will die
Thirty-fve children and the teachers went
down in the wreck. Men who were re-
moving the ruins became sick ut heart.
The horror came upon the town at $50
in the morning and without n warning
There was sudden roar. which passed
away as quickly as il came, and the har-
vest of death had been reaped. No larger
than a bed blanket was the cloud in which
the cyclone was hid. 1t rushed down
from the northwest. missed the business
section by bare block, tore through the
residences of w. ID. Cowdry and DIR. w.
E. Saunders, demolished them and then
took the little academy and twisted it into
fragments. Luckily nobody was in either
of the two residences, and so the death
list is confined to the academy pupils.
Persons who heard and saw the death
cloud were startled. Nobody dreamed
however, that it had caused horror un-
til scream came from the direction of the
academy. The town is little one, and it
did not take long for the news to spread

everybody had child in the school, and
when the white-faced men and weeping
and screaming women saw what had hap

dren, wounded and bleeding and unable
TO walk, were creeping and crawling and
staggering out from under the wrecked
building. Others. alive but helplessly fast
ened down by broken beams and flooring,
were piteousy pleading for assistance,
while others. silent and mangled, told a
tale all too terrible for the parents who
looked upon the work of the small cloud.
Rescue work was soon begun. Men and
women, too, tore at the twisted timbers,
sobbing and screaming. Occasionally ma
ture was kind to n mother and she was
tenderly carried away unconscious. Other
towns were asked TO send aid, and doctors
came from far and dear. All that was
possible was done for the mangled little
ones, while the dead were borne to homes
of sorrow. Nearly every household Is
stricken, and in every street were women
wringing their hands, sobbing men and
children weeping because some little chum
was either dead or dying.
The academy, which lay directly in the
path of the death cloud, was new two

BLOWS UP ON THE RAIL.
Boiler of the Locomotive of che Lake
Shore Limited Explodes.

With a terrific crash that shook the
earth for blocks around, the monster loco
motive at the head of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern passenger train known
as the Chicago and Boston special ex-
ploded as il was leaving Chicago on its
Journey eastward. Two lives were lost
in the explosion. Engineer Frank was
hurled, with the top of the cab, high in
the air. The force of the drive sent the
mans body through the skein of telegraph
wires as though they had been cobwebs.
The body fell, with the piece of shattered
cab, fully 300 feet from the tracks, in
vacant lot that was half swamp. Fire
man Smith was caught under the escap-
ing steam, which poured out of the boiler
with such force that that it drove the ten
der back against the baggage cars. He
was found bruised and torn and scalded.
The death of both men is supposed to have
been instantaneous
The driving wheels of the engine were
torn from their forged-steel axles. The
steam-chest was gone. The valves and
pipes were torn and twisted Massive
plates were driven into the stone ballast of
the roadbed. The reversing lever, a solid
steel piece four feet long, was thrown
the roof of George Brooks house, 6SI4
Calumet avenue, cleaving through shin
giles, lath and plaster, and falling at the
foot of bed. A plate of iron weighing
fifty pounds wrecked the board fence in
Mr.. Brooks back yard.
In the coaches of the train there was
felt tremor and then the brakes, acting
automatically, ground on the wheels.
There was Il mutfied roar. The first three
cars were Jared from the track, and for
nearly 300 feet pounded over the ties,
pushing before them the wrecked locomo-
tive. The passengers were not aware of
what was going on. The train crew rush
ed out of the vestibuled platforms and
saw the cloud of steam into which they
were being carried. Then hail of broken
metal began to fall on the track and
coaches. Soon all was excitement in the
train.
Nobody can tell what caused the explo-
sion. The company officials had no the
ories to offer in explanation of the wreck
of one of the newest engines on the road.

warden of the penitentiary in 1871. His
work in this line has gained him consid-
cradle prominence among those who are
interested in the prison question, and his
opinions are eagerly sought for by men
in this calling. Major McClaughry, after
leaving Joliet. was employed in a Penn

effect Of which was to increase enormous
ly the duty upon cheaper articles that are
purchased by those who work and lessen
the tariff upon the expensive articles that
are purchased only by the rich. BY trans
ferring an enormous quantity of wool
from class 3 to class ! the duty on raw
woods was increased far beyond any bill
ever presented to an American Congress-
Wools that paid 80 per cent under the Nc
kinley bill would now, he said, pay an
equivalent ad valorem of between 200
and 300 per cent and possibly more. The
duty on corduroys used by the poor was
increased to about 123 per cent, abso-
lutely prohibtory. The bill restored the
duty upon burlaps made from jute used
for bagging grain and fertilizers, while
the only burlap of this description made
in this country was made in prisons. Car
pets of jute, purchased by the poor had
been raised, he said. to an equivalent of
15O per cent, while those used by the rich
were taxed 30 per cent. The tax upon
waterproof cloth had. he continued, been
increased from the Mckinley rate of 40
per cent to about 120 per cent.
