WOMEN STEAL A FIRE TRUCK
Episode In the Hook and Ladder and
Literary Society Warfare.

In the warfare that is being waged
In East Marion, l.. l., over the custody
Of a hook and ladder truck purchased
by the m of the Literary society
or that place for the use of the local
fire department the women have met
with their first defeat. The fight has
grown out of the recent action of the
oificers OF the fire companies in having
the village fire department ~incorporat-
ed. The women of the Literary So
ciety considered that this would de-
bar them from having any say con-
corning the hook and ladder truck,
and they Immediately put in a claim
for the apparatus. They wanted their
gift returned, but what they intended
doing with 1t is not known. The fire.
men refused to surrender the truck, so
the other night it was stolen from the
truck house. From that time until to-
day the members of the truck company
secured the country side for traces OF
their machine. Today it was discov-
cred secreted in a barn. 1t was i'm
mediately taken back to the truck
house. The women assert they drag
ged the truck away themselves, but It
Is understood that a number of male
sympathizers aided in the capture. A
guard will now be placed in the truck
house until the fight Is settled.-New

When the junior member of a we'll

months ago. he entered into a compact
with his bride which was designed as
a preventive against conviviality. In
his bachelor days he was known as a

Tooth Marks Betray Thief.

The peculiar shape of Charles
Mack's teeth Is the cause of his arrest,
and confinement in the county Jail at
Omaha, on the charge of burglary. A
grocery store on Twenty-fourth street
was burglarized a few evenings since
but the thief escaped. When the police
and citizens were investigating the
case Mack appeared and was very zeal
Gus N his search. Mack has peculiarly
formed teeth. A detective noticed a
piece of cheese on a counter bearing
marks corresponding to Mack's teeth
and made him bite another piece. The
marks were identical and Mack was
arrested. The goods stolen from the
store were later found in his house.

NEW YORK TRAGEDY.
DENTIST KILLED EMPLOYERS
WIFE.
Murderer Completes the Deed by shoot
ing Bimseif-Invaded woman's Room,
shot Her Dead and Then Ended His
Own Life.

Mrs. Mamie Hayes was murdered
the other night in her sleeping apart
ment in the Hotel Endicott, New York
city, by DR.. Franklin l.. Caldwell, who
then shot and killed himself. The
woman was shot in the head. Cald-
well vas employed as an assistant by
DR.. Ephraim II. Hayes. husband of the
dead woman. Three days prior to the
tragedy Caldwell ordered a solution OF
morphine, which was delivered to him
an hour before the shooting. The bot
tie which had contained the morphine
was found on a table in the room with
the bodies.
DR.. L. II. Hayes came from Chicago
four years ago to take charge of the
dental rooms of a department store
company. He had been a dentist well
known in Chicago, and when he left
there he placed his Office in charge Of
DR.. Caldwell. Mrs. Hayes did not come
to the city with her husband, but re-
manned In Chicago for some time. Just
how long is not known.
TOuI Nttho DtlOlt lht uOublt NiihiV
Hayes opened an Office in the Hotel
Endicott. Caldwell was placed there
as an assistant. The Hayes family oc-
cupied with the Office a set OF apart
ments on the ground floor Of the hotel.
With them lived DR.. Caldwell, Ralph
Hayes, a nephew Of DR.. Hayes, and a
colored maid. Mrs. Hayes was 35 years
old. DR.. Caldwell was the same age.
On the night of the tragedy, DIR.
Hayes and his nephew went out. Mrs.
Hayes directed the servant to attend
to her work in the kitchen, at the
same time saying that she would
change her dinner gown for a house
dress. Within half an hour DR.. Hayes
nephew returned, and as the servant
opened the door to admit him there
came the sound of a pistol shot. Two
more shots were fired a moment later.
The young man and several others
who had heard the shots ran into Mrs.
Hayes apartments. On the bed lay
Mrs. Hayes. She had thrown off the
dress she had worn at dinner. She lay
in a natural position. There was a
jagged wound in her right temple, from
which the blood flowed. The bullet
had entered her brain, and she must

have died instantly. Beside the bed
lay DR.. Caldwell. He, too, was dead.
There were two bullet wounds in his
head. His right hand still clutched
a revolver, with the finger on the trig-
ger, showing how he had died. DR..
Hayes was found In a drug store near
at hand and hurried to the rooms. He
was quite distracted, talked wildly,
and 1t was feared for a time that he
would have to be restrained. He could
not offer the faintest suggestion OF a
cause for the wild act of Caldwell.
Nothing was found that gave any idea
as to the cause of the shooting, so far
as he is known. OF so far as any one
would say. When the revolver was
taken from the hand of the dead man
It was found that but three chambers
were empty. 1t Is learned that for sew
eral weeks Mrs, Hayes had been at
tended for a nervous trouble by DR..
Richardson, a specialist. 1t is said
that she was about to be taken to a
private institution, as her nervous
condition did not improve, and she
needed absolute quiet. There seems
to have been no indication of intended
murder on the part of Caldwell, who
had dinner with the family. The maid
says that Mrs. Hayes and Caldwell
chatted together for a few minutes af-
ter the others had left the table, and
there was not the slightest suggestion
of n quarrel. They We're talking OF
commonplace affairs, she says.
Everything indicated that DR.. Cald-
well had followed Mrs. Hayes into the
bedroom almost Immediately. She had
only partly removed her bodice. APP
parently she had been standing with
her back to the bed when he fired upon
her, and she fell backward upon It,.
Then there was an interval of a few
seconds. Evidently DR.. Caldwell paus-
ed a few moments to make sure that
his shots were fatal. Then he turned
the weapon upon himself.

Rev. DR.. r. II. Nassau expects to re-

leaving Baltimore that he could not

LARGEST TREE IN THE WORLD,

Called the Hurricane Tree, and Ia In
Nassau. Capital of Bahama Islands.
In Nassau, the capital city Of the Ba-
hama Islands, they say "the tree in the
public square'-not the trees. Now.
the public square Of Nassau is quite as
large as that Of most cities Of the size,
but there Is only one tree in it, and
that tree literally fills the square and
spreads Its shade over all the public
buildings In the neighborhood. For IL
Is the largest tree in the world at its
base, although 1t Is hardly taller than
a three story house. 1t is variously
known as the ceiba. or silk cotton tree.
but he people of the low islands of the
West Indies call IL the hurricane tree.
For no matter how hard the wind
blows 1t can not disturb the mighty
buttressed trunk Of the ceiba. In the
hurricane Of last spring all the palms
and many of the other trees of Mas
sau were overturned, but the great
hurricane tree, although It lost all its
leaves, did not lose so much as a
branch. Its trunk throws out great
curving, wind-like braces, som of
them twenty feet wide and nearly as
high. These extend into the ground
on all sides and brace the trees against
all attack, while the great branches
spread a thick shade overhead. In the
tropic sunshine OF midsummer hum
dreds, even thousands OF people may
gather in the cool of its shadow. No
one knows how old the tree is, but 1t
must have been growing hundreds, If
not thousands of years. A very old
picture in the library at Nassau shows
the tree as big as it is at present, and
even the Oldest negro In the island can
not remember when 1t was a bit small

WONDERFUL CURES BY FAITH.
Michigan Man Who Has Healed o
Cases by Laying on of Hands.

John Grihit, a young laborer of
Niles, Mich. is attracting a great deal
of attention by his marvellous power
of faith healing. 1t is said that up to
date Griffit has treated over 400 cases,
embracing nearly every variety Of dis
ease, and that he has effected a cure in
each instance. He cannot explain his
power, but attributes 1t to a divine gift
which he believes that he received
when a child. He has visions and be-
lieves in everything he dreams. He
will undertake to cure only at certain
times, at night time and in the new
and full noon. Young Grimt is q
bright-looking fellow, apparently quite
intelligent. He invariably bestows his
services free. No less wonderful than
his curative feats Is the fact that he
can stop the circulation of the blood
simultaneously, when the body will
become cold as ice. With no apparent
effort he can as speedily cause the
blood to resume it's natural course. He
Is not a member OF any church and
was never baptized in any faith. In
case a vein is severed he can. without
bandages of any form, stop the flow of
blood instantly. The young fellow is
not familiar with the extent of his
wonderful abilities, as he has never yet
met with failure in his attempts to
cure. Altogether he is an %extraordi-
nary character, and Is attracting wide
spread attention. especially in medical
circles. Grifit is "a years old and was
born in Miami county. Ind. At the age
of IA instinct told him that he pos
sessed marvellous powers Of healing.
and his first case was that Of a horse
which was so badly afflicted with tu-
NOR of the neck that his father was
about to kill the animal, when the boy
interceded and commenced operations,
and in a few days the animal was en-
tirely well. His next case was that Of
a young woman suffering with goiter,
which the boy cured in one week. His
method is to lay hands on a patient
and pray.

Exploded a. Years After Being Fired


The longest time that is known to
have elapsed between the firing Of a
shell and its explosion is forty-four
years. Recently a shell which had
been fired into the Russian harbor Of
Sebastopol during the Crimean wal at
least ~forty-four years ago, was haul
ed up by some fishermen, and it ex-
ploded on being taken from the wa
ter, killing one of the men and wound
ing several OF the others, notwith-
standing the long period which had
elapsed since it had left the gun which
fired it. Finds Of shells are exceeding
ly dangerous, If they happen to be I'M
exploded ones, as a similar accident
happened mo- long since at Bolton-le-
Sands, where a dredger named Wilson
fished up one that had been fired from
the artillery camp at Bare, and took 1t
home. An attempt to break it up cost
him an eye, a foot and q broken head,

of the reason which led to the forma-

this lucid statement from one of the
