REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Feb. lO.-Public interest In the
case of the Reverend John Keller. who was
shot in Arlington, N. j.. last Sunday by
Thomas G. Barker. centered to-day not so
much upon the condition OF the victim as
upon the sermons induced by the tragedy.
Outside Of a few sentimental women, the
public generally is Indifferent to the fate of
the clergyman who Is alleged to have be-
trayed his trust.
1t appears. however, that he may recover.
although he win lose the sight OF one eye.

ton. an eye specialist of Newark. n. j.,
was called in consultation to-day. He de-
\ clined this evening to discuss the condition
of the patient. except to express the opin-
Ion that he would recover from tho pistol
wounds.
Services in the Reverend Mr.. Keller's
church. Trinity Mission Chapel, In Airing
ton. were conducted to-day by the Reverend
A. b. Fieldner, who has been designated by
Bishop Starkey to TAKE charge of the parish
for the present. Mr.. Fieidner made no ref
erence to the tragedy of a week ago. but at
the conclusion of the services he offered a
prayer for the recovery Of the man who is
~arraigned by Thomas G. Barker as a wolf
in sleeps clothing.
Barker spent a quiet Sunday in the Hud-
son County Jail. Mrs. Barker. who is with
friends. persists that the story of the as
sauit as related by her to her husband Is
true In every particular and that Mr.. Bar.

 Ariz., to a reporter of the Tokeka Journal, i've would be unable to select a better place for it, from the standpoint of the railways inter ests, than Arizona" -
 The laws of Arizona on the sub ject of damages in railway wrecks are much less strict than the laws of most states. Kansas laws are considered by railway officials to be very severe. Kansas laws hold the railway liable for injuries done to employees for which the employe is not responsible. -..-
 The big wreck is now left mostly for the claim department of the road to attend to. An attorney for the department was sent to the scene of the wreck post haste. He has been working hard since then keeping track of the employees who were hurt. He knows exactly how badly each one was injured and he is prepared to adjust the claims of the injured and protect the inter ests of the company in case of dam age suits.
 "We expect to deal fairly with all the employees who were hurt in the wreck" said the official who spoke of the leniency of the Arizona laws "It is always customary to do something for employees who are hurt in wrecks."
 There were eight people killed in the wreck and seventeen injured. It is likely that if the road gets off with damages amounting to $40,- 900 it will be we'll satisfied.
 The loss of. property occasioned by the wreck is enormous. A Los Angeles official is reported to esti- mate it at $2OO,OOO. This is prob ably much too high. It is believed that $90,OOo- will cover the cost of the destroyed cars. There will also be heavy loss for baggage de- stroyed.
 Footed up, therefore, the total loss of the wreck will be something like this:

CLEARING THE WRECK.
Coroner's Jury EmpaneIed and Tes-
 timony Being Taken


 The wrecking crews have been hard at work this week clearing away the debris from the horrible wreck which occurred one mile and a quarter west of Franconia last week The oil and other inflam- mable material which ignited and burned immediately after the acci- dent to the overland flyers caused intense heat and prevented the workmen from removing the twist ed and broken iron from the track until Sunday morning. The wreck occurred at a point about 150 yards west of a sand hill west of Fran conia- Trainmen who visited the scene after the wreck declare that it was utterly impossible for the engineer on No to have seen the approaching No. in time to avert the accident after he had passed the sand hill, and in the event that he had seen it the brakes would not have worked quickly and effectively enough to prevent a wreck
 A few hours after the accident Coroner A. H. Smith, of Kingman, Mohave county, was on the scene, but the dead and wounded had been removed to Needles. The coroner soon had jury sworn in, which consisted of the following: Hugh F. Kemper, foreman; E. F. Thompson, John F. Withers, John F. Feeney,. William Sweeney and George J.. Hately. When the jurors began their investigation, it was found that the principal wit nesses had gone to Needles, and as a result the jury adjourned until Monday afternoon, when the inves- tigation would be resumed in the court house at Kingman. '
 It is not known where the blame will be laid, but the report is quite generally circulated that the train men in charge of No. 4 were run ming according to orders and that No 3 was speeding ahead at a seyenty-mile-an-hour clip, six min utes ahead of time, when the big machines met beyond the curve. Notwithstanding this report, there are two gentlemen who emphatical- ly declare they saw the conductors orders on No. 3, which gave the train the right-of-way to a point beyond where the wreck occurred. At any rate Coroner-Smith and his l jurors are using every precaution in the matter of reaching a verdict, and no decision will be rendered | until, every particular has been given thorough consideration Citizen.

COLD COLLEGIANS.
Form an Organization Known as the
Marble Heart.

Marble Heart.
Evanston, Dec .10.-Fair goods of
the Northwestern University declare
that the order for thirteen marble
hearts to be used as emblems for the
latest organization among the men
students Of the senior class has not
caused the chill in the ranks of the
young women that was expected.
The hearts were ordered by thir-
teen of the men seniors who organ
lied the Sacred Order of the Knights
of the Marble Heart, che object being
to hold their hearts adamant to
charms of the fair sex until 1904
While it would be carrying the
matter little too far to say that he
organization of the 'Knights of the
Marble Heart" has produced no in
preston on the fair ones, the latter
insist that they can meet all the
frigidity that can be dispensed by the
members of the select club.
The young women find solace also
in the fact that there are sixty-seven
men in the senior class who are only
too pleased to welcome the voluntary
removal from the ranks of "eligibles'
of thirteen of the most formidable
social Hons of the university
There are many of these sixty
seven whose heart strings have been
rudely Jared in the past by the sue
cesses of certain members of the
nj Of ~ ~
ing the handsome members Of the co
ed community, and the news that the
knights" are going to leave the road
clear is welcome news indeed.
1t was heard at the university
yesterday that plans would
be formed at once by those
of the senior class of men
who intended to wed, to push their
suits with vigor during the time that
elapses between now and 1904.
A fair coed said that not
only has the formation of the club
brought down the condemnation OF
the fair ones on the heads of the
knights, but there are many young
women at the university whose super
stitious beliefs lead them to the con
clusion that speedy end to the
organization is promised in the hoodoo
number "13" with which the knights"
have started. Developments never
theless are waited for with interest
The officers of the organization are:

ents and L. P. Kincaid.
The organization of the knights
comes as a sequel to the announce
ment several days ago by the sorority
that many Of them were not deliberate
spinsters, and were only too willing
to become brides If the proper per-
sons happened their way. The
thirteen have, it is thought, taken
that announcement as a threat and
the formation Of the club is pre-.
cautionary measure against being
lured into a matrimonial engagement
