LUBRICH MURDER TRIAL.
Hedge and Sneed Testify Regarding
An Alleged Letter.

AN Alleged Letter.
Warrensburg. Mo March 16 In
the Lubrich trial to day the court
overruled the objection of the de-
Tense to the Introduction by the
state of the letter written in January
1898, from Warrens burg by Mre
Lubrich to Iubrich, who was then
in Lexington The letter itself was
not produced, but Hedge testified
that it was shown him by Lub1ich.
The witness said that 10 it Mrs. Luz
brich told of being with Hartman,
the victim of the tragedy, and
receiving money from him, that she
added that she would send Lubrich
some money when she saw Hartman
again. Hedge testified that Lubrich
showed him the letter aud proposed
that they go to Warrensburg, and,
when they caught Mrs. Lubrich and
Hartman together, obtain $4,000 or
$4,000 hush money. Hedge said
be refused to entertain the proposi-
ton
Fl. S Sneed, also of Lexington,
corroborated the testimony of
Hedge, and sad that he also refused
to go into the scheme. The state
offered letter written from SOUTH
Dakota by Lubrich to Mrs Lubrich
which was meant to show that he
knew of her intimacy with Hartman
The state then rested.
The principal witness offered by
the defense was Lubrich himself
His story of his movements did not
differ in general points from what
the states testimony showed. But
he denied knowing his wife's infdel-
ity and the alleged plan to get
money. He declared the killing was
in self defense.
The state offered little evidence in
rebuttal, and that merely in attempt
ing to show Lubrich's reputation to
be bad. Both sides rested at FIVE
o'clock this afternoon The instruc-
tions and arguments will be given
tomorrow, and the case will go to
the jury tomorrow afternoon.

River Near Marion, Kansas.

Marion, Kan, March 15.-Miss
Hanna Wren, daughter of W. ii.
Wren Of this city, was drowned in
the Cottonwood river this morning
while attempting to cross the river
at dangerous ford, three miles
west and one mile north of this city.
The recent rains and SHOWS had
caused the river to rise, and at the
point where she attempted to cross
the current was very swift, sweeping
her horse and buggy down the river,
tearing the horse and buggy apart
and throwing her into the river,
which resulted in her death. Her
body was found at 11:30 a. M. about
a quarter of a mile below the cross
ing by searching party from
Marion and the immediate nejghbor
hood where the accident occurred.
Miss Wren was on her way to the
Dobb's school house, where she was
employed as teacher. She was a
bright and intelligent young lady
and was beloved by all who knew
her. Her death is severe shock to
this community and greatly regret
ted by all.

SOUND STEAMER
PLYMOUTH ASHORE
Runs on a Reef Near Riker's Is
Iand-Her Six Hundred Pas
SengerS Terrified

New York, Dec. 18.--The steamer
Plymouth of the Fall River line went
ashore on a reef on the north side of
Riker's island last night. She had about
500 passengers aboard. A hole about
five feet in diameter was stove in the
boat well forward and she made water
rapidly. The captain appeared to have
lost his bearings on account of the fog,
which was almost impenetrable at the
time of the accident. To make his task
of plotting the boat all the more pre-
carious, the tide was low.
There was considerable excitement
among the passengers, but Capt Sim
mons and his crew easily assured them
that there was no danger. A boat was
lowered and several of the crew under
the first mate put off to report the ac-
c1dent to the company's Office at pier
10, North river.
The steamers Maine, City of Worces-
ter and several freighters owned by the
New York and New Haven railroad
We're chartered by the Fall River line
officials and dispatched with several
tugs to the disabled steamer. Such of
the passengers as desired were taken
off, but the majority decided to re-
main on the Plymouth and be towed
back with her to her pier This, it was
said, was entirely feasible.
At Las o'clock this morning the
Plymouth was lying on her keel, listing
slightly to port. She had two fathoms
of water fore and aft and about eight
feet amidships.
