guard this morning. "Quailhunter' Keu-
nedy had lost his former spirit OF bragga

the old-time member of the James gang,
was the life of the crowd, his constant joking
and blarney keeping the officers and the
crowd that followed from the train to the
court room in continual laughter. But
little attention wus paid 10 the other accused.

Soap Causes Death of street
Car EmpIOye.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Frank McGill died
suddenly in the car house OF the Paterson
Railroad company at Paterson, n. j., last
night. 1t was given out at the time that
heart disease caused his death, but in

result of practical joke, being killed by
electricity Tonight Joseph Grant and
Christopher Ashfeld, who were also en-
ployed at the car house. were arrested upon
charges of manslaughter. County Phys clan
Mcbride who held the autopsy tonight, said
the indications are that death was caused by
shock, but Of what nature he is not pre-
pared to say until the investigation is more
complete.
Grant admits that a practical joke was
played on McGill, live wire being con-
nected with a soft soap tub. 1t was ex-
pected that when the men took out a hand
full OF soft soap to wash their hands they
would receive a slight shock. The wire
used, however, appears to have been high
tension one and the results fatal.

Three American Soldiers Found with
Ears and Noses Gone and
Hearts Cut Out.

NEW YORK, May ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Information
received here in private letters from officers
serving in the Philippines states that the
Filipinos show no respect to the American
dead. In one report an officer who was on
the firing line says he was shocked to see
three bodies OF American soldiers who had
been killed In an advance, and which
were brought within the American lines
badly mutlated. The ears OF each of the
corpses had been removed. the noses cut

Statutes Not Conflicting with American
Sovereignty Are Retained.
INcUNBENTS TAKE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Judicial Bench Made Up Of Prominent
Lawyers of the Islands,
SPANISH WILL BE LANGUAGE OF COURTS
AngIo-saxon Business Men Plead for
English Tongue, but Otis Believes
IL Unwise to Upset Usage
of Centuries.

MANILA, May 29.-An order has been is
sued re-establshing the Philippine courts,
which have been closed since the American
occupation. 1t revives all of the Spanish
system not conflicting with the sovereignty
of the United States.
The chief Justice Is Caltuma Arreltano
The associates Of the civil branch are Man
uel Araula, Colonel Crowder and Gregoria
Aralita The justices OF the criminal branch
are Raymundo Molliza, Ambrosio Rianzares
Julio Lorento, Major Young and Captain
Birkhmer. The attorney general is Flor
entio Torres. This corresponds with the
American supreme court.
The oath prescribed begins:
81 recognize and accept the supreme au-
thority of the United States of America,
etc.
The Filipino members are all prominent
lawyers. Arreltano is the leader OF MS pro-
fession in the islands. In the early stages
of the Filipino movement he was Aguinal-
dos principal adviser. Molliza was presi-
dent of the insurgent government at lloilo;
Torres Is the leader of the local committee
working with the commission to concillatc
the insurrectionists.
Spanish the Ofiicinl Tongue.
Spanish will be the official language of the
courts. There has been agitation among
the local British and American business
men and American lawyers who came to the
Philippines to make fortunes to have the
English code and language adopted, but
Major General Otis concluded that 1t would
be unwise, even IL practicable, to upset long
usage He thought it best to give the ma
tves courts in the language to which they
have been accustomed. The Spanish salaries
proved a stumbling block to obtaining good
men, the highest being only S2,5oO, the
Spanish judges receiving fees, which are
abolished. All the judges are representa-
tive men.

LONDON, May 29.-New York World
Cablegram.-(S Especial Telegram.)-A cor
respondent at Paris writes that he learns
unimpeachably that Paderewsk was
secretly married last December to Madame
Elena Gorsky, the divorced wife of Ladislas
Gorsky, well known violinist and form
erly member of the Lamoureux orchestra
Madame Gorsky, who was in Geneva re-
Gently, signed herself Elena Paderewski to
the manager of the Casino there. Madame
Gorsky and PaderewsN are now living
amicably in Paris together awaiting the
pope's dispensation.
An ecclesiastical marriage dispensaton.
however, is not really needed as Madame's
marriage with Gorsky was illegal, having
been without the consent of the parents, as
the Polish law requires. Madame is a
woman of A and therefore older than
Paderewski. She has intensely black hair
and Jewish features which can look beauti-
full and ugly by turns. She has a rare gift
of fascination and Paderewski has been de-
voted to her since several years ago when
Gorsky took of his invalid son in the
days Of Paderewski's poverty and obscurity.
Gorsky probably gave his wife away, as was
done by Ruskin to Sir John Millais. The
news has just leaked out and caused a
sensation in the music world here.
