FED BY SCHOOL CHILDREN,
Cows. Overcome by Starvation on Chap
 el Street Yesterday.

q cows which were being driven down Chapel street caused quite ripple in that usually quiet neighborhood. The three cows were owned by Abraham Dudemsen, of No. 8 Rose street, and he was driving them out to pasture in East Haven. He purchased the three in the country Thursday and kept them Thursday night at George street sta ble. The cows were very poor and their ribs were much in evidence, so that Dudemsen decided to take them out to pasture and let them fatten up before he butchered them.
 He was driving them down Chapel street, when one of the cows the poor

Day of Collisions in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20-Three rear
end collisions on the elevated
railroads, one of which involved
four trains, one cable car and
trolley car collision on surface
lines, and three MINOR collisions
on steam railways are included
in Chicago's casualty record of
yesterday and all were due to the
dense fog that settled upon the
city in the morning. Three
men are dead and about nifty in
jured as the result. One of the
dead, Otto Lenert, a guard on
the elevated train, heroically
sacrificed his life in an effort to
save the lives of passengers on
his train. The fog was so dense
that signals could not be seen
fifteen feet away and the utmost
confusion prevailed on all lines.
The successive collisions sound
ed like the distant booming of
guns and passengers were terri
fed and panic stricken.

The demand upon Gov. Van
SAINT for special session of the
legislature is so strong that he
probably will issue the call this
week. A spontaneous demand
has sprung up in Minnesota dur
ing the last few days for the
convening of the legislature for
the purpose of enacting legisla-
ton that will prevent any change
in the management or the direc-
tion of these roads.
This feeling has been aggra-
waited by an opinion of the attor-
ney general and of the state rail
road and warehouse commission
that the state has no jurisdiction
over the traffic of the iron ore
roads of the northern part of
this state, owned by the United
States Steel company, practical
ly shutting out the independent
mine owner irom mining or ship

The newspapers are unanl-
nous in the opinion that some
thing must be done at once or
the railroads will override all
the laws of the state. The oppo-
sition charges that the combina-
ton organized to control the
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific is formed for the purpose
of circumventing the law in this
and other states, and the sugges-
tion is made that laws be enact
ed that corporations legalized in

shall be chartered by the state
of Minnesota as if they held no

FOUND DEAD IN ORCHARD
Hartford City Girl Meets Her Fate Mys.
teriously-Found by Her Brother
Early Sunday Morning-Sen.
sationaI Developments
Expected.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. Is
With her hands clasped at her
throat, as if to protect it, Bessie
Decker was found lying dead
early Sunday morning in an or
chard near her home, at the
edge of this city, with woods
near. When her mother and the
rest of the family retired the girl
was playing the organ and sing
ing hymns softly to herself.
Earlier III the evening she had
been reading her Bible. Her
brother left the house early to
do some work he was compelled
to do on Sunday and in passing
through the orchard he stumbled
over the body in the dark.
Running back to the house,
he called his mother. but, un-
manned by the shock of his dis
coyery, could scarcely make him
self understood. Together they
went out and picked up the body
and carried 1T to the house, into
Bessie's bedroom. The bed had
not been disturbed. The girl
had been cheerful the evening
before, and the mother could not
believe she had committed sui
eide. A search was made for
poison, but noue was found.
There was no trace of violence,
but on the girls face was a look
as if she had seen something that
froze her heart with fear. The
updrawn arms and hands clutch
ed at her throat could not be ex-
planned.
Bessie was 81, and, until lately,
had gone out a great deal. Sew
eral weeks ago she ceased at
tending the club dances, at which
she had been one of the gayest.
She gave no explanation, but
dropped vague hints of being
afraid of something or some one.
She never told her mother wheth-
er she had quarreled with a
sweetheart or what she feared,
but she remained closer to the
house than ever.
The L. E. Nv. and Panhan-
die railroads pass near the house
and both have been doing
much grading work, employing
five or six hundred rough work
men, many of them Italians and
Greeks. They have camp near,
and, on Saturday nights especial
ly, drink heavily and carouse.
The woods near by is also a rem
devious for the tramps travelling
along the railroads. and their
camp fires can often be seen from
the house. She may have gone
out into the clear, cold night be-
fore retiring and there been at
tackled by some one and frighten-
ed to death.
Another theory advanced is
that she met a sweetheart, who
gave her poison in sweets or
drinks. Still another that she
took some drug herself. The
girls relatives are anxiously
awaiting the result of the autop-
sy.
The family physician who was
called was unable to determine
the cause of her death. Coroner
Mulvey has concluded to hold
the autopsy today.

RAPID-FIRE DYNAMITE GUN.
It Is Said to Be the Most Powerful Weap-
on Ever Made.

on Ever Made.
Men York, Nov. IA new
dynamite gun of destructive
powers, exceeding those o. any
weapon yet designed, has just
been secretly submitted to a sue
cessful test by a special board of
officers of the bureau of ordnance
of the United States army at
Fishew, island. For several
years the government has been
engaged in the creation on Fish
er's island of a veritable Gibral-
tar, which will render the east
tern entrance of Long Island
sound impregnable to any naval
attack and thus effectively pro-
tect all the shore cities from
New London to New York. In
this great scheme Of defense the
dynamite gun, covering the mar
row channel between Fishers
island and Plum island, on which
formidable batteries have also
been erected, will play a conspic.
uous part. Owing to the secrecy
maintained by the government
relative to the character of these
new works the trial was con-
Quoted in private and no news
paper men were permitted to
witness the tests.
The gun, which was built by
the Dynamite Gun company, of
New York, at Scranton, Pa, is
forty feet long with caliber of
fifteen inches.
Two days were devoted to put
ting the gun through an exhaus-
tive series of tests. The first
shot sent a six-inch shell, carry
ing fifty pounds of explosive, a
distance of 5,763 yards, bursting
on impact and throwing a column
of water 800 feet into the air.
With a ten-i inch shell loaded with
200 pounds of nitrogelatin. the
extreme range was found to be
4, $50 yards. the shell exploding
under water with the desired de
lay action of two seconds. The
test for accuracy resulted IN
planting five eight-lnch shells at
the respective ranges of 5,045,
5,0S5, 5000, 5,O4O and 1870
yards. all of which. with the ex-
ception of the last, would have
taken decisive effect had the tar
get been a battleship at the dis
tance of about three miles, or
about twice the limit of prac-
tical fighting range, now gener-
ally accepted to be about 2, 500
yards.
Still more astonishing was the
test for the rapidity of fire, which
resulted in the discharge of five
full caliber shells, weighing
1, ,165 pounds, or more than half
a ton each, in the marvelously
brief time of eleven minutes and
fifty-five seconds, far in excess
of the speed attained by any
other gun of heavy caliber, and
almost emitting the weapon to
rank with rapid-fire pieces. This
was the moro remarkable as the
feat was accomplished under the
