Direction.
Burlington, Ia, Oct. 17.-What is be-
lieved to be the first tangible move in
the Hill-Morgan deal for the consoli-
dation of Northwestern roads, was TAX
en- here when the articles of incorpor-
alton for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railway Company were filed
in the county auditors Office.

tirely separate from the Chicago, Bur-

POWERS CONDITION is WEAK.
wharton Golden Again Tells His
story ON the stand.

story ON the stand.
Georgetown, KY, Oct. 17.-Wharton
Golden, the states star witness in the
trial of Caleb Powers, was on the stand
to-day.
Golden testified that it was generally
understood among the mountain men
that Goebel was TO be killed. He said
when Powers was told Of GoebePs
death as he was returning to Frank
fort from Louisville, Powers said: ut
is a shame and an outrage"
Caleb Powers was late in coming into
court this afternoon and Jailer Reed
said he was seized with vomiting. 1t
was feared that he would not be able
to come to the court house, but he
finally left his bed and came. 1t is said
Powers is breaking down and may not
be able to hold up until his trial shall
end. His weakened condition is appar-
ent. The state will close tomorrow.
GoIden's Remarkable Admissions.
Golden resumed the stand at the
night session and told of a conversation
he had with Gov. Taylor in which Tay-
lor said:
ut is an awful thing to think of TAX
ing human life, but IL looks as If
Goebel must die or we will be robbed. 4"
Golden admitted that he entered into
an agreement to procure the murder Of
william Goebel: that he had offered
$500 to any man who would murder
him and that he was under indictment
upon the charge of having entered
into a conspiracy TO murder Goebel.

HIS SKULL CRUSHED IN.
Charles Mappus Murdered and Store
Looted at Ashley junction.


Charleston. S. c., Oct. 17.-Another
shocking murder is added to the long
list of crimes which disgrace Ashley
Junction and its vicinity. The Junction
is six miles out of Charleston, and is
widely known for the variety and
Nervousness Of the misdeeds which are
there committed. When the store. OF
Theodore Mappus, an extensive dealer
in general merchandise at the juno
ton, was opened this morning his
nephew, Charles Mappus. was found
lying upon his bed with his skull
crushed in and his face beaten out Of
recognition. The store was looted and
the contents not carried off scattered
about in great disorder.
Young Mappus was found lying half
clothed upon the bed on the second
story, and was evidently killed by the
burglars to prevent the giving of an
alarm. He must have just risen when
they met him. The police and the
county authorities have detailed squads
of deputies and special officers to work
upon the case. So far. however, there
is absolutely no clue to the perpetra-
tors of the deed.

Moifneux Returns to His Old Cell at
the Tombs in New York.
New York. Oct. 17.-Roland M. Molin-
eux, after spending eighteen months
in the death house at Sing Sing prison,
is tonight in his old cell in the Tombs,
this city. In charge of Detective Nc
Naught he was brought from the state
prison during the afternoon and
reached the Tombs at $50 o'clock. He
was accompanied on the trip by Gen.
Molineux and George G.. Battle, one of
his counsel. Molineux's appearance did
not bear out the stories that he had
grown stouter in Sing Sing. He looked
very healthy, although showing the
prison pallor, but very spare. and there
were slight hollows in his cheeks.
There was no crowd at the Tombs
when the carriage containing the party
drew up before the door. Molineux
stepped out blithely. greeting reporters
and others whom he knew, and still
walking with his father and bowing
right and left to the employees of the
prison whom he met. The warden per-
sonally conducted Molineux to his old
cell

Young Girl Tells Her story of the

Degraded Eakirs..

Revolving Practices OF London
Degraded FaISirs.
London, Oct. 17.-The hearing of the
charges against Theodore and Laura
Jackson (Ann O'Delia Diss De Bari
was continued to-day. The Police Court
was crowded, a number of women be-
ing among those present, while the
police found it necessary to clear the
sidewalk of those who were anxious to
obtain admission and hear the most
noisome testimony ever given publicly
in a London court. The witness eX-
amined to-day was Daisy Adams. a
mere child, wearing red Tam O'Shan-
ter cap, and with her hair in curls,
hanging down her shoulders. She ties.
titled that she was enticed to London
under the promise of being taught mu
sic.
Laura Jackson continued to conduct
the case for the defense. She was
clothed in a soiled, draggled white silk
toga. The woman evidently had a
powerful influence over the girl, Daisy
Adams, and leaned over the dock and
gazed fixedly at the witness, evidently
with the hope of intimidating her, or
of re-establishing her hypnotic infiu-
ence. But the girl frustrated the ef-
fort by turning her back to the female
prisoner and looking at the judge.
Then, tiring of her effort, Laura Jack
son demanded a chair, and seating her
self in the corner of the dock inter
rupted the witness with irrelevent
questions and objections until the court
ordered her to desiSt.
The testimony, which was of the
vilest character, related to the indig-
mites which the witness suffered at the
hands of the male prisoner, while she
was a neophyte of the ''Theocratic
Unity under the promise that she
would become a reincarnation of the
Virgin Mary.
Believed His Claims of Divinity.
The witness testified that she was
SO fully under the prisoners influence
at the time that she believed his claims
of Divine parentage. Revolving prac-
tees were exercised both when they
were alone, and in the presence Of Mrs
jackson.
Daisy Adams spent the day on the
witness stand. detailing Jackson's acts
| of misconduct, and Mrs. Jackson s
urging her to consent to his wishes. as
he was the "Son of God and would not
| hurt her"
On one occasion Mrs. jackson held
the girls hand while the misconduct
occurred.
After Daisy Adams had learned of
the experiences of other girls, she told
jackson that it was wrong for him to
have so many wives. He retorted with
scriptural illustrations, saying that Sol
omon had 300 wives and 600 other
| wives"
During the presentation of the evil
dence Mrs. Jackson interrupted the

vice."

AN UNNECESSARY TRAGEDY.
Good Citizens of West Virginia
Town Fire Bullets Into Each


other.
Welsh. w Va, Oct 17.-As result
of one of the worst tragedies enacted
in this little city in years, two men
are fatally wounded and one seriously.
Hotel cafe. The injured are:
Robert Hufford, prominent ner-
chant, shot three times.
DR.. c. B. Mcdaniel one of the best
known. physicians in the country. -seri-
ously wounded.
John Waldron. deputy sheriff and
highly respected.
Shortly before midnight Hufford was
taking a lunch in the hotel cafe when
a crowd of strange men entered, appar-
entity intoxicated. They passed several
remarks, which Hufford took as in
suits, and he hurled a heavy glass at
one of them and closed in for fist
encounter At this juncture Deputy
Sheriff John Waldron rushed in to sep
arate the participants in the battle, as
also did DR.. Mcdaniel. who was seated
at a near table. Hufford was jerked
roughly by the Deupty Sheriff, and he
quickly pulled a gun, which he turned
on the officer. Waldron is quick
with gun and in an
instant he also brought his
revolver into action. DR..
Mcdaniel, being a warm friend Of
both men, rushed into the fray, plead
ing a cessation of hostilities, only to
be pierced through and through with
a 3S-calibre bullet. The firing contin-
ued and Hufford was the next to fall.
He was shot three times. the last bullet
penetrating his left breast. Deputy
Waldron, although shot. was able to
walk from the cafe. He was placed
under guard at the hotel, while the two
fatally injured were carried to a doc
tors Office.

MORGAN,s MYSTERIOUS WAY.
Wall Street Does Not quite Under
stand His New Deal.

AAAs 4N0F DGAAs
New York, Oct. 1.-THE Journal of
Commerce tomorrow will say:
Incorporation of the new Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railway Com
pany in Iowa excited unusual interest
in Wall street. particularly on account
of the recent reports that plans were
under way for the clearing UP of the
Northwestern Railroad tangle. The
statement in the charter of the new
company that it will take over the Bur-
lington system, was unexpected in view
of the fact that Burlington stock was
recently retired by an issue of bonds
jointly guaranteed by the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific. The theory
was advanced that this was only the
nucleus of the company which would
acquire the two latter systems as we'll
as the Burlington. The only informa-
t1on to be had to-day, however. was
that only the Burlington sys-
TEN will be acquired, and that the
new company has been organized to
gather in some of the minor divisions
of that system. This was not generally
understood, as 1t was difficult to show
that the expense of organizing a $780,
100000 company should be incurred to
simply further consolidate Burlington
properties which already are in com
pact form. The earnings of the Bur-
lington system for the past year are
nearly $750,000 less than the amount
necessary to pay interest on the new
bends. The guaranteeing roads, of
course, are responsible for any deficien-
cy. By issuing new stock for these
bonds this burden upon the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern would be
removed and by retaining a majority
of the stock Of the new company con-
troll of the Burlington system could
still he held

no Importance. except as showing the
track of the bullet. The diseased con-
dition of the heart muscles shows why
the pulse was so frequent and why 1t
did not respond to stimulation at the
critical time.
No Bacterial Infection.
DR.. Matzinger in the report of the
bacteriologist concludes that the "ab-
sence of known pathogenic bacteria,
particularly in the gangrenous cavity,
warrants the conclusion that bacterial
infection was not a factor in the pro-
duction of the condition found in the
autopsy
A chemical analysis by DIR. Hill of
the remaining bullet and the contents
of the cartridge chambers in the mur-
derers pistol showed that there was no
poisonous material, thus disposing of
the theory of a poisoned bullet.
