Superintendent o. E. Stewart, in
speaking of the sad accident today,
said that he was one of the best men
the company had in its service. He
was born and raised in Ottumwa, be-
ing the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Mcmillan.
The young man followed in the steps
of his father, who formerly ran
trains out OF Ottumwa, and became a
brakeman several years ago. His
cheerful nature, coupled with his man
ly characteristics, could not fill tc
create favorable impression upon all
who knew him. He became con
struction train conductor, and was
working up with rapid strides. His
sad and untimely death removes from
the service of the Burlington one OF
the truest men and most able work
men on the Ottumwa division.
Several Relatives Living.
! Mr.. Mcmillan was united in mar
riage some years ago to Miss Nellie
Sheehy, of this city, and two boys,wh

the United States. There was talk Of
his doing so three years ago, and in
1899 it was given out at Brussels that
three-months' yachting cruise, during
which he would touch on this side Of
the Atlantic.
Earlier in life King Leopold was
fond of mysterious disappearances,
and paid frequent trips incognito to
neighboring capitals He is now sixty
five years Of age, but as his zest for
automobiling shows. full of activity,
and possessing a decided faculty for
combining business with pleasure.
The Congo Independent State, which
is his creation, Is likely, in spite Of
early forebOdings, to bring him in
substantial reward for his prescience
In his will he has bequeathed all his
sovereign rights in the State to Bel
GUM, and not so long ago he made
over to the public all his real estate
in Belgium.
King Leopold is a busy speculator,
and is said to be interested in several
American mining ventures, besides
his schemes for developing Ostend
and other European pleasure resorts
At the opening of the Brussels ship
canal last year he looked forward to
the Establishment of line of steam
ers plying between Brussels as a sea-
port and New York City, and he is
doubtless keenly alive to the advan-
tages of developing still further the
great resources of Antwerp and its
trade with this port.

cue Another Son.
Connellsville, Penn.-John Gilleland,
q coal miner, and his two sons, aged
nine and eleven years, were suffocated
near Juniataville by firedamp in an
airshaft twenty feet deep. The shaft
ventilates the abandoned part of the
coal mine of the Juniata Coal Com
pany, and is surmounted by a curb
three feet high.
The youngest boy climbed upon the
curb and when blast Of deadly gas
struck him in the face he toppled over
and fell into the shaft. The father,
standing in the doorway of the house,
saw the boy fall and was Mortified to
see the other boy climbing into the
shaft to descend after his brother on
the ladder. When Gilleland reached
the shaft neither boy was in sight.
The father then climbed down him
self.
Mrs. Gilleland gave the alarm to
the neighbors. A canvas was rugged
at the top of the shaft to defect the
air from the mine fan into the hole,
and John Nicholson and John Brown,
mine foremen, descended. The faith
er's body was found half way down
and the bodies Of the two boys were
found at the bottom locked in an en-
brace. The bodies were hOisted up

MUSOLINO Is CAPTURED
italian Brigand Accused of Having
Committed twenty-five Murders
The Government Had offered Big Re-
wards For His Arrest - Taken
After a Desperate Struggle.

Rome, Ita1y.-The notorious brigand,
Musolino, has been captured after a
fierce resistance at Urbino. He had
long terrorized Calabrla, and Is credit
ed with having committed twenty-five
murders.
Owing to the sympathy manifested
toward him by the peasantry Muso-
limo had always escaped capture, de-
spite the immense reward the Govern
ment offered for his arrest.
Giuseppe Musolino. who styles him.
self gentleman brigand." has been
a fugitive from justice for two years
He claims to be the victim of a judi
cial conspiracy.
In October, 1898, Musolino, who is a
man of good family and education,
met Vincenzo Zoccoli, one of his politi.
cal opponents A quarrel arose and
Zoccoli stabbed Musolino over forty
times in the hands and arms. Muse
limo was lying dangerously Ill from his
wounds when Zoccoli was shot from
ambush. Musolino was accused of the
crime, and dragged from his bed to
prison. The presiding Justice was q
notorious protector of the opposing
faction, and Musolino was convicted
and sentenced to twenty-five years at
hard labor.
Musolino managed to escape before
long, and has since been remorselessly
enforcing the threats to kill those re.
sponsible for his conviction made at
the time he was sentenced. His sole
motive for leading the bloodthirsty
life which has made him famous
seems to have been vengeance. He Is
said to have killed twelve out of the
fifteen men who appeared on the stand
against him.
