Chicago. June n.-Side by side, each
with bullet wound in the temple, the
dead bodies of a young couple, who
registered as Hartman and wife, were
found in their bed at the Great North
ern hotel last evening. The room
showed no evidence of a struggle, but
the revolver clutched in the right hand
of the husband told the story of the
double tragedy.
The woman was identified as Rose LIE
Zebrebe, variety actress, known as
Rose Ziobede. The father of the dead
man Is said to be wealthy tobacco
dealer, in business in New York.
About year ago the young Louis
Hartman developed tumor of the brain
and was placed for a time in a SANTA
rum. He was discharged from the hos
pital about four months ago and since
that has been working for his father.

SOME NOVEL SURGERY.
Painless Operation Performed With
nm Ordinary Match.

An aged, well-dressed man, with white
side whiskers and a general appearance
of substantial prosperity and eminent re-
speciality, stepped into the retail store
on Fifth Avenue of a book publisher the
other day and asked one of the young
clerks in confidential undertone:
Have you a match?"
Certainly, SIR" replied the young man,
producing a handful of lucifers from his
vest pocket, but you will permit me to
say that it is against the rules to smoke
in this shop.
"oh, that's all right" replied the old
gentleman amiably, II never smoke"
With that he began to tumble in his
pockets. Not finding what he wanted he
asked the clerk for the loan of a knife
Then he lit the match. blew it out i'm
mediately and began to sharpen the burn
ed end into point.
..Ah. / see YOU need a toothpick," re-
marked the clerk, as he watched the whit
Ting process.
The old gentleman made no reply. but
when he had put nice point TO the
match he again spoke.
perhaps" he said, you have quiet
place where 1 could sit down for a few
moments without being observed?
The clerk. wondering what the old gen.
tleman might ask for next, politely led
the way to a corner of the store fitted
with easy chairs for the benefit of such
patrons of the firm as might want to
glance over a book before buying it. The
old gentleman sat down and without
moments hesitation rolled up the left leg
of his trousers to a point above the knee.
Then, using the back OF the knife as a
hammer with few well-directed blows
he drove the match into his knee Then,
readjusting his trousers. he handed the
knife back to the astonished young man
and said:
II am very much obliged to you. You
see. l have a wooden leg, and one of the
pins holding it together fell out. The
match will do very nicely until / can get
home. If you should happen to be over
in Newark and have anything the matter
with your leg just step into my office and
shall be glad to assist you"
Then. as he handed the clerk card
bearing the name of a prominent finan-
cier in Newark, he smiled. bowed politely
and walked out.-New York Times

THE BIG CLOCK AGAIN IN USE.
Dial In the POstOffice Tower Once
More Shows the Time.

The clock in the postoffice tower is
again doing duty. after having had va
cation since two minutes after u O'Clock
noon on July II. When the clock stopped
running at that time the decision was
reached not only to have 1T thoroughly
repaired, but to provide the timepiece
with new and more serv!ceable set of
indicators because of the many business
and Office people who depend upon the
clock for the regulation of their watches
and clocks. As the old hands were paint
ed light color it was with considera BILE
difficulty that the time could be told eth
er in day time or at night. 1t was even
more difficult to tell the time at night, as
the illumination of the clock plainly
showed the dividing lines of the various
fields of the dial, and these were inva-
riably confounded with the hands. BY
the changing of the clock hands there is
no trouble now telling the time
The hands which have been put up in
place of the old ones started on their
first tour of duty yesterday morning. 1t
was with evident satisfaction that business
people and others who pass the big build
ing daily saw that the big clock was
again in operation. The new indicators
are large and plainly visible at quite a
distance. They are painted black and are
foot in width, whereas the old ones
measured only three inches wide. The
new minute hand is nearly seven feet
often confused after dark with the hands,
have been placed back of the dial. The
work has been completed by a. o. Hut

THE TOAD ESCAPED.
Imbedded in N Lump of Coal, He
Was Nearly burned.

| The dishelievers who have smiled at the
notion of live toad being found in a
| lump of coal will be shocked by an event
which has just happened at Rugby. The
| oft-derided toad has appeared from the
midst of the ruins OF the oft-discredited
lump of coal The exhumed hermit is,
moreover. now alive and is destined to be
/ handed down to posterity in a hermet-
| ically sealed glass jar
| The historic toad was introduced to
modern society through the instrumental
! ity of small poker, welded in a utilita-
! rian spirit by Mr.. Clarke, of HeureuX
Villa. Bath Street. Rugby. The happy
event occurred, not in Heureux Villa. as
might be imagined, but in Mr.. Clarke's
office in North Street. Rugby. where one
morning three large Jumps of Baddesley
coal had been placed in the CRATE to en-
courage dispirited fire.
Mr.. Clarke took up the small poker. He
smote one of those Jumps of Warwick
shire coal. 1t fell in pieces. Among them
sat good-sized toad of inky blackness.
The toad did not wink for the very good
reason that it apparently had no eyes. 1t
has since developed them. Stranger still,
it has no mouth.
Mr.. Clarke fortunately rescued the toad
from its peril and dropped 1t into a pail of
water, where it revived 1t is now able to
crawl. Before it is consigned to its new
tomb it is hoped that it will hop. AS to it's
genuineneSS there can shadow OF
doubt, but unfortunately the cavity in the
coal could not be preserved, as the lump
which had been smoldering on the fire for
a considerable time, fell to pieces when
struck with the poker.
That the toad Is not the ordinary COM
mon or garden animal is patent to the
most casual observer. a Daily Mall

day. Much of its sOoty appearance dis
appeared in the water and il is now duh
brown. 1t has been sealed up in glass
and is to be submitted to the examination
OF experts.
As stated it has no mouth. but small
nostrils can be seen. There is constant
motion in the throat and also occasional
motions of the sides. as the lungs con-
tract and expand. Although its eyes are

WESTERN DOCTORS EsoAPADE,
Alleged to Have Deserted His Wife
for Another.

| BELyIDERE. N j., July 30.-Dr. w.
| Osborn, of San Francisco, arrived at DEL
| aware, Warren County, few days ago.
With him came a woman whom ne IN
| troduced as his wife. He went 10 the
! home of his mother and the alleged wite
stont,ed at one of the summer hotels, the
Delawanna. where she remained until the
fact leaked out that she was not the doc
tors lawful wife The landlord thereupon
invited her to leave his place, which she
did.
The woman, who was very handsome
and elegantly attired, then came TO BEL
videre and stopped at the Warren House,
where 1t Is said, she registered as MIS-.
Dorothy Osborn, San Francisco. Inc
landlord was told that she was DR.. Os-
born's wife and that her husband had
been called East on account of his moth
ers Illness and that while here he was
trying to sell some mining stocks. She
said the accommodations were very poor
at Delaware, and she therefore came here
so that she might be at a first-class hotel.
The woman also confided to the ladies
of the house that she had met the doc
tor some seven years ago while trained
nurse in a Western hospital. 1t seemed
to be a case of love at first sight. While
she was here the doctor came down from
Delaware to see his wife several times.
The hotel people were shocked when on
a train from Delaware there came a hand
some woman who inquired for DIR. Os-
born. She said she was his wife. had just
arrived from California, and had wired
her husband from Chicago to meet her at
Delaware. She soon learned the whole
situation and then. bursting into tears.
said that her husband had drawn his
bank account and she was left almost
penniless The facts of the doctor s esca-
pade almost crushed her and she return
ed to Delaware heartbroken.
1t appears that the doctor and his COM
panion had been driven in a livery rig
TO Phillipsburg where they took a south
bound train on the Pennsylvania Road for
Philadelphia This was made known to
the real wife, and after learning that the
elopers had started for Philadelphia she
expressed herself as determined to lind
them at all hazards.
Mrs Osborn, the real wife, gave evil
dence of culture and refinement Nothing
has been learned of the doctor since his
departure for Philadelphia, and the i'm
preston prevails that he and the woman
have gone West. il is said the doctor
enjoys very lucrative practice in San
Francisco, that he has amassed u for
tune on the Pacific Slope, having made
a great deal of money out of mining
stocks.
