WANTED TO MAKE HIS COFFIN.
That Seemed to BE william Loves
Insane Desire.

William Lowe, a driver for the Booth
Packing company, was taken to the
county Jail yesterday and will today
be examined by Judge Willrich as to
his sanity Lowe, who Is giant in
size and strength, had the employees or
the store and q detail of police badly
scared Yesterday morning. Lowe. with
q large knife and a Ratchet, took pos
session of a portion of the warehouse
yesterday morning and gave it out that
he was going to prepare coffin, and
did not wish to be disturbed while en-
gagged on his task. The employees took
goood care that Lowe was not disturb
ed. at least by them, but telephOned
for the police. Jailer John Harris hap
pened to be the only officer about the
station. and not being fully advised as
70 the need of policeman, hurried to
the scene. Harris, who is something Of
a diplomat tried to get friendly with
Lowe. but the insane man kept either
the knife or Ratchet constantly IN hand
and became very suspicious OF Harris.
In answer to a question put TO him by
Harris, he said he might be two hours,
two days or two years making the cor
fin. An hour was spent conterrinS
with Lowe. and then Harris hit on
plan which worked like charm. One
of the firms wagons was backed up to
the door and a couple OF Hlpty boxes
loaded on. One of the drivers was
ccaxed to drive the team and Lowe
was asked to assist in the delivery Of
the goods. Lowe agreed, and as they
dashed up Third street Harris dropped
off the rear of the wagon and put the
driver and Lowe under arrest for fast
driving. BY this means Lowe was tax
en- to a cell and afterwards, on the pre-
text Of being taken to court. landed in
the insane ward Of the county jail.
Lowe is thirty-five years Of age, and
has been employed by the company but
a short time. Previously he was en-
ployed as a driver for Armour & Co.
He resides on the West side and has a
wife oDd family

Is the County Liable:

A nice question as to the liability of the
county for the charge made for recovering
a body from the river is raised in an appeal
to the municipal court
Mccarthy & Donnelly, the undertakers, on
July 80 1897, recovered from the river the
body of John Gerlch, at the request of
Coroner Nelson. The body was lodged in
the boom, and in difficult place to reach.
In order to accomplish the task the under
takers claim that it was necessary to en-
gage the services of six men and a steam
tug The county commissioners refused to
allow the bill. and suit was brought before
Justice Blackwell for $75 judgment being
given for $50, and $40 tackled on.

DINNER IN TIE JAIL.
Five Fat Turkeys Played Stellar
Roles There.

Five plump turkeys constituted the
piece de resistance of the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner for the score of prisoners in
the Ramsey county Jail. The repast
also included all the garnishments of
dressing, gravy and cranberry sauce
as we'll as mashed potatoes, bread and
mince pie. This bill of fare was not
emblazoned upon a gaudily decorated
menu card, bus it was none the less
appreciated by Sheriff Wagener's
boarders, and they all did full justice
to it. They had at least one thing to
be thankful for, although in future
years they will probably not recall
Thanksgiving day, 1897. as one of the
red-letter days in their careers.

HOLD-UP OR FIGHT.
Police Think II Reported Robbery
Was Simply a Fight.

Peter Connors, living at All Fifth
street, reported to the police last even
ing that he had been held up by two
men when coming out of a side door
of Fred Turner's saloon, at Sixth and
Rosabel streets. He claimed one of
the men had "slugged him with a
billy and searched his pockets. Con-
nors had no valuables about him and
lost nothing. Later the police investi-
gated the story and claimed that the
affair had been nothing more than a
street fight. 1t was stated that Con-
nors admitted knowing the man who
assaulted him and that he had spoken
to the fellow before the assault occurred.
Connors was advised, to swear out a
warrant for the mans arrest, and, it
is said, declared his intention of doing
so today

Wiped off the Map.

Chesterfield, Ind, was almost wiped of
the map at an early hour Friday morn
ing by the explosion OF eighty quarts Of
nitro -glycerine, which had been brought
overland from Montpelier and placed in
an open field, half mile from the town.
Marion Mansey and Sam MaguiIe were
working at a gas wen near by when the
explosion occurred. Mansey was thrown
fifty feet, but not seriously injured. Ma
guire was also thrown a hundred feet in
air and badly lacerated, but will recOv-
er James Colds house, 800 rods distant,
was torn to pieces. The explosion tore
hole in the ground down to the water line.
So far as learned the explosion was spOn-
taneOus. A three-ton engine was torn to
fragments, and every living animal was
killed instantly. The little town ofChes-
terfie1d is mass of ruins; every house
was moved from its foundations, windows
shattered, doors smashed in, every light
put ont, and the plsstering shaken from
the walls. Several people were shaken
I out Of bed.
At Dalesville, two miles away, and al
Yorktown, five miles distant, the damage
was almost as great. Many people were
injured, and it is a miracle that none were
killed outright.
The jar of the explosion was felt for fif
teen miles in all directions. The gas in
the well was blown out. and workman
ramed cooper lit it. and caused another
explosion, in which he was fatally burned
The damage cannot be estimated.

NoRRIsTowx, Pa, Nov. 52-Following
upon the arrest In Newark, y. J.. Of
james A. Clemmer, charged with COM
plicity in the murder Of Mrs Emma p
Kaiser, comes the story of an alleged con-
fession By Lizzie DeKalb, declaring that
the actual killing was done by Clemmer
and not by Charles o. Kaiser. husbandof
the murdered woman, who is under SEN
tence OF death for the crime. II is said
that the woman was prompted to confess
by reading the confession Of Mrs. Augusta
Mack, in the Guldensuppe case in New
York.
She asserts that Clemmer killed Mrs.
Kaiser, while Kaiser held her struggling
in his arms.
The party started from Norristown, she
said, for the ostensible purpose Of deliver
ing TO a customer some miles away a cray
on portrait made by Kaiser, who was in
that business. They rode in two buggies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaiser in one and Clemmer
and Lizzie DeKslb in the other. Before
reaching their destination, however, the
couples separated, with the understand
ing that Clemmer and Miss DeKalb were
10 Overtske the KAisers on the way home.
Continuing the woman said:
AT the appointed place we saw the
Kaisers' buggy ahead. moving slowly.
I'VE droveup close and Clemmer jump
ed out, leaving me 10 drive. He started
to @. .ertake them on foot. He had re-
volver and was shivering with fear. He
gave the signal and the Kaiser buggy
stopped.
"At the same instant, Kaiser threw his
arm around his wife's neck and ducked
her head. She struggled frantically and
Clemmer, watching the terrible scene
from his place beside the buggy, lost his
nerve and hesitated.
KAISER saw this and hissed at him:
Shoot, you dog, OF Pll kill you
'Clemmer then pushed the revolver
close to the woman's ear and fired Her
struggles ceased instantly and she fell
over dead"
Kaiser's story Of the supposed attack,
robbery, and killing by highwayInan is
well remembered. The truth of it was
suspected from the first, and day or two
afterwards, wheG the revolver was found
on the road, with the watch and other ar
tieles alleged to have been stolen, the
husband was arrested.
As soon as the news reached Clemmel
andM iss DeKalb they fed. The woman
WAS caught in Philadelphia about thre'
weeks ago.

Georgia Does Not Forget.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S.-The Georgia
Legislature has just killed bill offered
by Mr.. Calvin, of Richmond county, pro-
viding for granting free business licenses
to Union soldiers now living in the State.
Two men spoke in favor of the bill, but
their speeches received little attention.
Several men who opposed the bill said
that they loved the Union and had no feel
ing of hostility against the North or
against the men who fought against the
South in the Civil war, but they were un-
alterably opposed to a measure that
wOuld be reward for the men who came
to Georgia in 1864 and burned the homes
Of the people who are now expected to
help and pension the Union soldiers.

OF his father, that the child suddenly drop

Then he told the story of Samuel smit

lesson, in childish way, that no human
interest should stand in the way Of the ex-

neighbOrs called the Sunday following.

picture of the boys mOcking the prophet,
who were punished by bears destroying

The boy has developed a strong voice,
speaks with nervous gesturs and deep

taxed, and hence the illness from which
he is suffering. DIR. {. E. Murphy re-

Hardship For the Boys.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 26,-What is
called the Johnny" law of Tennessee,
which was passed by the Legislature last
winter and which makes it a misdemean-
or for men 20 flirt with female students in
colleges or schools, was first put into force
in this city four days ago.
Lynn Chamberlain was arrested on the
charge OF flirting with the 10 year-Old
daughter of W. 5. Anderson. The girl is
a pupil in the high school and the war
rant was sworn out by her father, who
testified that he had requested Chamber
lain to have nothing to do with his daugh-
ter. Police witnesses testified that they
had often seen Chamberlain walking with
the girl and waving a handkerchief al
her. Attorney Miller, for the defense,
made the point that the girl was a pupil
OF a free school and not of a boarding
school or College. The magistrate decid-
ed that Chamberlain had violated the law
and that he would hold him for court in
$50 bond, which was promptly furnish
