QUEER GOTHAM DEATH.
Marriage of the Daughter Followed
by Mysterious Injuries to the
Mother

New York, Nov. Mrs. c. F. Whit
ney of 50 Macon street, Brooklyn, died
Sunday night after a series Of circum-
stances that makes the death a mys-
terious one. There is evidence that she
lay in a state of coma for four days
without any one near to attend her.
On Wednesday night last Mrs. Whit
ney's daughter was married in the fiat
which Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney occupied.
After the wedding dinner the bridal
couple departed on their trip, which end
ed at Boston. From there the young
bride sent a telegram to her mother.
Sunday evening the young couple re-
turned to the Macon street fiat, arriv-
tng at o'clock, expecting to be greeted
by Mrs. Whitney. The rooms were bril-
Hantly illuminated, but a. knock on the
was forced and on the still lay a tele-
gram unopened, evidently pushed I'M
der the door by the telegraph boy. The
gas was burning just as it had hcen
when the couple left five days before.
Hurrying into the dining room the
young bride saw her mother lying I'M
conscious on the floor. Doctors were
sent for. and an examination showed
that Mrs. Whitney had sustained Sc

courag ing word that Mrs. Whitney
would be all right again in a short time.
Fifteen minutes after the physicians
left the house Mrs. Whitney was dead,
having never regained consciousness

THE SOLDIER DEAD
To Be Brought From Cuba, Porto Rico
and the PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Adjutant Cen
eraI Corbin announced today that the
government would at once proceed to
remove to the United States the re-
mains of American soldiers that are
now inferred IN Cuba, Porto Rico and
Manila.
The work of removing the bodies will
be a costly one, and will be betrayed
from the treasury. Men will be sent
form this country to superintend the
work and 1t will require several weeks
to complete the task.
The caszets for the remains Of those
soldiers who died in Cuba and Porto
Rico will be purchased in the United
States Those intended for the remains
of soldiers who died at Manila will be
purchased in Hong Kong. In each case
the remains will be disinfected and then
placed in Theoretically sealed caskets.
It appears from intelligence received
by the war department that large
percentage Of the federal dead in the is
lands named fill unknown graves. This
news comes as great surprise to the
department because definite instruc-
lions were issued at the beginning of
the war that in all cases the identity
of sick, wounded and dead soldiers
Through the gross carelessness of
nurses and hospital surgeons these in
StructiOnS were not always Obeyed. This
painful fact, General Corbin says, will
necessitate the interment Of the un-
known dead in the federal cemeteries
Of the country If all identification be
lost of the states from which the SOL
diers enlisted. If the states are known,
then the governors Of the latter may
claim the remains.
Major General Francis V.Greene, who
recently returned from Manila, relates
an interesting experience in founding a
cemetery at Manila Being compelled
to care for the remains Of men who died
on the field of battle or in hospitals
without consulting the civil authorities,
he inferred the bodies in the cemetery
of the town He was met with Vigor-
Gus protests from certain priests, who
claimed that the ground was consecr9-
ted and that persons who died outside
Of their church had no right there.
''Then it was" said General Greene,
that determined to take matters into
my own hands. I selected a plot of
ground outside of the city gates near
the insurgent camp and went to work.
I had no sooner begun than the insur-
gents began to clamor against the pro-
ceedings, on the ground that the ceme-
terry would impair the health of Aguin-
aldo's men. By this time began to
grow hotter than the climate of Ma
Mia, and that is torrid enough, I as
sure you. without any circumlocution
I filed notice that the cemetery would
remain where I had placed it and that
I would not listen to another word from
them"

Returns to Philadelphia and
Gives Himself Up.
UNDER INDICTMENT
For Violation of the Banking
Laws When He Fled.
His BOndsman Forfeited $2O,'
900 on His Account.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Gideon W.
Marsh, the fugitive president OF the
keystone National bank, which col
lapsed on March 20. 1891, has returned
to the city after an absence of over
seven years and surrendered himself to
his bondsman, William H. Wanamaker.
The closing of the Keystone bank Gre
ated a tremendous sensation at the time
and the Developments Immediately sub
sequent thereto resulted in the sentenc-
ing to long terms of Imprisonment Of
John Bardsley, then city treasurer Of
Philadelphia, and Charles Lawrence,
the cashier of the bank. Both have now
completed their sentences.
Marsh was at the time of his disap-
pearance, May Is, 1891, under three In
dictments for violation of the banking
laws. Security in $50. 900 had been en-
tered by William H. Wanamaker for
Marsh's appearance in court. He sud
denly fed from the city and Mr.. Wanna
maker was obliged to forfeit the
amount Of the bail and 1t is asserted
that he expended fully $4,000 more in
an endeavOr to ascertain the where
abOuts of the fugitive. Mr.. Marsh to-
day informed Mr.. Wanamaker that he
went from here to Brazil, where he re-
manned several years and then came
back to the United States and located
in the state of Washington where he
has been earning his living. He came
east a few days ago and spent yester-
day IN New York city. He came to
Philadelphia today and went at once
to William H Wanamaker' office.
Marsh will probably be surrendered by
Mr.. Wanamaker to United States Com
missioner Bell late this afternoon.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

"Heart of the Klondike," the big spec
tacular comedy drama that scored a sue
cess at the Star theater, New York city,
last season, comes to the Crawford thea
ter next Monday evening for engage
ment of two nights. The piece is under
the management of Davis & Keogh, whose
names are associated with many dramatic
successes of recent years. These enter
prising gentlemen were the first to appre-
ciate the stage possibilities presented by
the fabulously rich gold discoveries in the
frozen Wilds OF Alaska, and so quickly
grasped the opportunity as to forestaH RI
valry, and so completely possessed them
selves of the new and special fields as to
leave no scope for even imitation. This
unique production proves that there is
something new under the Arctic sun, at
least. The huge scenic landscapes form
a most effective setting for the dramatic
action, wherein Scott Marbles gifted pen
has commingled fact and romance. All
these scenic pictures were painted by
John H. Young of New York city. The
sale of seats is now open
Isl Perkins will be the attraction at
the Crawford theater next Wednesday
evening: On Thursday evening .'Gayest
Manhattan the piece that proved such
a success at Roster & Biafs music hall in'
New York city, will be seen at the thea
ter.

man of this city has been entertaining
for a few days three daughters of a
soldier of the revolutionary war. They

have in their possession his commission
signed in Mr. Washington own hand.
A special bill providing for a pension

by Congressman Steele, and the women
are here securing additional evidence to
further their claims for pensions.
Mr.. Steele says the pension records
show that there are only nine surviving
daughters of revolutionary soldiers.

Hundreds Of Celestials Now
Passing Through Tacoma.
FIOcking Home to Spend the
Holiday Months.
MOSTLY LABORERS.
Every One Must Have His Pho

And Must Leave Monetary In
terests of 200 to Return.

Tacoma, Nov. 4-The office of Deputy
Collector of Customs Huson was filed yes
terday by rows of Chinese, bound for their
native land. They are going home to
spend the holidays, and are a small part
of the big army of CelestiaIs who make
this long pilgrimage yearly to the strange
land of their birth.
One hundred Chinese yesterday prepar-
ed to go home on the liner Victoria, now
in port and expected to sail Tuesday.
Probably the number will be increased
largely by the time the ship sails, and in
Victoria many more will be added to the
list. The liner Tacoma, which sailed q
few days ago, took 200 OF the voyagers
from two ports.
The work of preparing a Chinese for a
tour to his home country requires a deal
of preparation on the part of the customs
officials and no end Of work to the trav-
eler. First, Mr.. Chinaman gets papers
trict in which he resides, and second, he
must present them at this port for further
blemish or popularity about his features
or build are noted so that he may be iden-
tilted upon return. By standing by for a
short time one may see the process OF

Huson and his assistants.

DISCOVERS SHAM TOBACCO
New Jersey Inventor Claims Much
for His New Substitute.

New York. Nov. 4.-Charles Efros, a
chemist living at Fanwood, n. J., has
invented what he says is a perfect sub
stitute for tobacco, with which he
deigns to revolutionize the tobacco an
dustry.
Such an article has been the life study
of Efros, but it is only recently he per-
fected the product. Experts have tast-
ed it, and were unable to tell the diff
ference between the substitute and the
genuine leaf tobacco.
The appearance, odor, taste, effect on
the system, are all reproduced, the in
Ventor says, and the difference between
the genuine and the sham can only be
told by microscopic investigation or
chemical analysis.
The one essential difference between
the real tobacco leaf and the substitute
is the absence of the nicotine In the lat

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause

Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause
Heart troubles at least among Amer
leans are certainly increasing, and While
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry Of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
bic; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumoga gastric,
In another way, also the heart is af-
hicted by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
Ing of oppression and heaVineSS in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpftation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOiSOnS the blood,
makes It thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t IS safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of StuartS Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time viii cure any form
Of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.

CAR OF BURNING TIES.
Warps Santa Fe Rails and Delays
Trains Several Hours.

Arkansas iCty. Nov. 4-The train on
the Santa Fe from the south was late
Wednesday night from a peculiar cause.
The delay was caused by a car of ties
on No. %. The ties caught fire from a
spark from the engine, and between
Perry and Guthrie burned to the
ground. 1t was necessary to cut the
car out of the train and as there was
no sidetrack the car stood on the main
line and burned. The heat from the
burning car warped the track so that
it was impossible to run a train over it.
1t delayed the south bound passenger
and all freight trains were tied up.
