was in the apartment adjoining Herr
Krupp's sleeping room when he was
stricken on Saturday morning, and
DR.. PAIL, Herr Krupp's family doctor,
also was in the house. They sum-
moned several other physicians, and
it is regarded as being beyond belief
that all of them should have connived
at concealment of the cause of death
which they describe as a stroke of
apoplexy, induced, they add, unofti-
cially, by mental excitement from
which Herr Krupp was suffering.
Mrs. Krupp was sent for from Jena.
She is suffering from nervous
malady; but was brought to Essen in
special train, arriving there Sunday
morning. The funeral has been fixed
for Wednesday. Chancellor Won Bue-
low, all the ministers and a great
number of other officials, following
the example of the emperor, have tel
egraphed their condolences to the
widow. Herr Krupp leaves two
daughters, who are at school, one
named Barbara, aged II, and the sec
ond named Bertha, Is years old.
Frederick Alfred Krupp succeeded
to the control of the immense works
at Essen about IA years ago. At that
time he was only 32 years old, but was
already a master in the science and
art of gunmaking and steel manufac-
ture. His father, Alfred, had been
the greatest of this wonderful family,
and it was he who had brought the
steel works to their highest perfec-
ton and had mapped out the lines on
which their growth has spread since
the time of his DEAN.
The founder of the works was
Frederick o. Krupp, grandfather of
the man who died on Saturday. This
ingenious manufacturer little
dreamed of the vastness to which the
business was to attain. When AL
fred died the property was turned
over to his son, veritable princi-
pality of industry, paying to it's own
er an annual revenue of more than
$5,000,000, or 21,O0O,O0O marks.
AS soon as he was made the trus-
tee of this immense wealth young
Krupp began to mediate schemes
whereby the philanthropic features
of Essen could be extended and i'm
proved. He took step in advance
of his father in the methods of deal
ing with employees. A cooperative
system by which the workmen re-
ceived a certain percentage of the
yearly profits was planned and put
into practice. The "model houses"
were improved or beautifed, and
several novel features were added to
the public sanitation and the public
pleasure-giving methods of the town.
A system of pensions for superan-
nuated workmen was adopted, and
other features of benevolent char
acter were added to the already
unique industrial institution which
supplies IS governments with imple-
mcnts of war and which employs up
ward of $4,000 men.

BOLD BANDITS.
port, Ia, and Large Amount of
Money Stolen.

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 22.-The fast
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific train
No. II was held up two miles west of
Davenport by gang composed of
from IL to Is men. The express car
was blown to pieces with dynamite,
and the gang, after securing the con-
tents OF the express safes, fled. The
train was stopped as it was slowing
up for crossing inside the city lin
its, within mile and half of the
center of the city. The robbers swung
red lantern at the crossing, causing
the engineer to stop entirely instead
of going on. Three men suddenly
sprang into the cab, two of them COM
ing over the tender and showing re-
volvers into the faces of the engineer
and firemen.
How much was secured is not known,
but it is known that the company was
carrying large amount. No notice
of the holdup was received in this city
until the train dispatcher failed to
locate the train at junction where it
is always reported. He sent out mes
sages asking about it. Within few
minutes word was received from a
telegraph station near the scene of the
holdup giving notice that the robbery
had been accomplished. Within q
short time the train crew, who had
fed from the coaches, ran up to the
station and reported.
The police of this city were notified
at once and big squad was rushed
to the scene at once on special en-
CINE. They are now following the
trail of the robbers. It is believed the
robbers, after committing the crime
and securing the booty, at once re-
turned to this city.
