FELL UNDER THE TRAIN.
Margaret Leslie, an Aged Irvington
Spinstcr, KILLED.

Margaret Leslie, spinster, sixty-two
years old, was killed yesterday by a Pan
handle freight train at Irvington. The ac-
cident occurred at the National-avenue
crossing, within three hundred feet Of Miss
Leslie's home. She occupied two rooms in
the home of family named Smith, which
is almost opposite the Irvington station.
Miss Leslie left home at 1920 o'clock to
attend services at the Methodist Church A
freight train was doing some switching at
the time and occupied the siding at the
crossing. The cars were pushed down into
the siding slowly and the woman crossed
the track and started to walk alongside the
moving cars. She suddenly fell under the
train and was grow ! to pieces. There are
two theories as to " she happened to all.
The first offered those who witnessed
the accident was her skirt caught on
the train and p er under the wheels.
Coroner Braytop i9i ed that she was sub
ject to mild eplepl fits, ana thought she
might have had S;.ch an attack.
The train was moving az a rate of less
tran four miles All hour, and was stopped
quickly after the woman was struck. She
died in ten minutes The wheels passed
over the middle portion OF her body but
the head and trunk were not mutilated
Miss Leslie was a ward of the township in
for the last fifteen years, having come there
from Hancock county. A. niece living at
Mount Comfort, northeast of Irvington,
was notified, and will take charge of the re-
mains A sister and brother live in Han
cock county.

Saturday night Feb. u. Sloan keeps a
grocery at 1893 Walcott street. Saturday.
Feb II, was pay day on the Panhandle, and
many of Mr.. Sloan's customers had been in
during the day to settle their accounts.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Sloan was counting
the days receipts and Mr.. Sloan went to
close the window shutters. A man poked
a pistol into his face and two others walked
irto the store and demanded the money of
Mrs. Sloan. She had presence of mind
enough to throw purse containing sew
eral hundred dollars in bills behind her and
allow the robbers to take only the silver
amounting to about $45.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. Sloan called at
the Jail and picked out Joseph Davis, col
ored, and Harry Church as two of the men
who robbed them. Church formerly lived
at 70 Jefferson avenue and probably was
familiar with the Sloans affairs enough
to know that they would receive consider
able money on pay day. The police believe
that Davis and Church committed the Ma

TO ARREST MOB LEADERS
MADE OUT AGAINST
RIPLEY COUNTY NTEN.
Attorney General VIII Go to YER
saiIIes This WeelS-GOvernOr
Mount Is Reticent.

The present week will doubtless witness
liveiier times in Ripley county than at any
period since the Wholesale lynching which
disgraced the county last year. Arrest of
the men alleged to have been leaders of
the mob will be made on warrants based
on affidavits to be presented before either
the Circuit Court of Ripley county or some
justice of the peace, and If a surmise,
drawn from a reply reluctantly made by
the Governor last night to a question put
him, is tenable, the attorney general will
go in person to look after this new step.
Who the men are that the State has singled
out as the leaders is a matter of conjecture.
Nor is it known definitely who made the
affidavit, although it is undoubtedly some
one living outside the county, for it is hard
ly probable the State could be so fortunate
as to secure a resident for this purpose,
since life afterwards might be unbearable
for such a jealous person in that COM
munity The State officials, when Ques-
toned last night about this new move, were
more reticent than at any previous or
casion since the States activity in the pros
ecution began.
1t is certain that these afiidavits have
been prepared for as much was admitted
last night by one of the State officials who
is in a position to know. 1t is also prob
able they will be filed to-day or tomorrow,
and the warrant, based on the affidavit,
will be issued at once. The States repre-
sentative in Versailles is advised as to the
projected steps and will be ready to CO.
operate with the attorney general as soon
as he makes his appearance on the scene.
The people at Versailles have been ex-
pecting some such action as outlined above
but there is little danger of the ends of
justice being thwarted by advance knowl-
edge. for the men to be arrested would
hardly take flight 1t is recognized that
conviction of the men in Ripley county
would be almost impossible, and 1t does
not appear that the State has any means
or process by which they can be tried in
another county.
Governor Mount was asked last night
about the advices from Ripley county that
arrests would be made this week on affi-
davits made by State officials or representa-
tives
us it not true, Governor" the question
was put to him, that leaders of the lynch
ing party are to be arrested this week on
warrants or affidavits?'
Il don't think I had better talk to you
on that matter" he replied.
DO you know whether the attorney gem
eral is going to Versailles to act in the mat
ter?''
Yes, know said the Governor. but
I don't care to state"

THE CHALLENGER OF WALLACE
Something About the Antecedents of
George Il. Cakes.

A sensational story has been sent out from
this city concerning an alleged challenge
to duel given by one George E. Cakes to
Gen. Lew Wallace. AS the story runs Cakes
was a soldier In Michigan regiment under
General Mcclellan ard resents a recent
story General Wallace told on Lincoln s
birthday at Lebanon. during the course Of
which he referred to Lincolns alleged fear
of Mcclellan surrendering his army. Cakes
is reported to have declared General Wal
lace's story was a reflection on the whole
army in which he was private, and to
have written a letter challenging the gen.
eral to fight. General Wallace is out of the
city. Cakes cannot be found.
Until last Wednesday a man named
George E. Cakes boarded at the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Reichardt, widow, at
226 West Tenth street, for about eight
weeks. He was a machinist. He procured
employment at Deans pump works near
by, and a fellow workman recommended
Mrs. Reichardt's boarding house. When he
applied for place she was rather doubtful
about taking him, his appearance was so
unprepossessing. He had nothing but the
clothes on his back, which were much the
worse for wear and needed the attention of
a laundress. Cakes assured her that he had

he had just come from California. He had
no money to pay his board in advance, but
promised to do SO when he drew his pay.
He received 20 cents an hour, working fif-
teen hours day, as the shops were long
on orders. After two weeks he became in
toxicated, she says grew dissatisfied with
the wages he was receiving, and, in spite OF
Mrs. ReichardtS advice, quit work After
that he had three or four other positions
working a few days She finally ordered
him to leave, as she found it unpleasant
to have a man lying around who was
drunk most of the time, she says. lie went

to be d good machinist, but in a day or two
came home in his usual condition of inebri-

been occupying, and he went away. II

MASS FOR THE DEAD SAILORS
1t VIII BE Said at st. Johns Church
Eext Friday.

Rev Father Gavisk has decided that
special mass shall be said Friday morn
ing at st. Johns Church for the sailors
who persisted in the Maine disaster The
services will not be different from the or
binary mass. except that it shall be said in
behalf Of the seamen. There are two
reasons for this said Father Gavisk last
night. I'm the first place, 1t appears from
the official roster that many of the Names
crew were Irishmen, and their names indi-
cate as much. 1t is fair to presume that
the majority of Irish born men are Roman
Catholics. The further fact that the chap
lain is a Catholic priest strengthens the
theory that there were many Catholics
among those who persisted. The second
reason for saying this special mass lies in
a coincidence. There is an international
organization within the church known as
the League of the Sacred Heart, and this
has a monthly subject for prayer. 1t so
happens that this month the subject for
prayers is the Catholic seamen. 1t seemed
to me, on these accounts, that it is 81 mat
ter of duty and very appropriate that mass
should be said for the dead sailors"

Music has often helped me in my pill
grimage through life. Both in Paris and la
ter on in London, many house was open
to me which would have remained closed to
a mere scholar. Musicians also always took
an interest in the son of the poet. Wilhelm
Muller whose songs had been set to music.
not only by Schubert, but by many other
popular composers. L well remember. when
telling Jenny Lind whose son was. how
she held up her hands and said: What. the
son of the poet of the "Mullerlieder?" Now
sit down. she said and let me sing you
the 'Schone Mullerin." And she began to
sing, and sang all the principal songs of
that sad idyll. just moving her head and
hands a little. but really acting the whole
story. as no actress on the stage could have
acted it. 1t was perfect tragedy and it
has remained with me for life
